Fanfiction Reruns

[4EverGreen]

This is a long re-run, so strap yourselves in! / (Before the Episode Actually Starts, an Author's Note appears at the beginning of the episode. It reads as follows.) "Author's Note: The Following Episode revolves around Mark Twain and his book about The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. While Mark Twain was a product of his time, some of the language he used in some of his books were wrong than, and they are wrong now. However, most of the original language will be left intact for the sake of historical accuracy, as ignoring the senseless mistakes of our past could cause us to repeat them again. Any resemblance to any persons or people living or dead, is purely coincidental, and should not be inferred. Jason Cantu." /

Sniz is standing in front of the Moat, and he says: "Last time, on Total Cartoon Legends, we were down to 26 contestants. Daggett, of ALL contestants, managed to come up with the idea, that the Purple Parrots should target Super Chum, as being one of their picks to get eliminated! Naturally, Taotie was 'Volunteered' for the job! Meanwhile, Zarbon FINALLY feared for his fragile beauty, when he found out the challenge involved pirates, and he did EVERYTHING he could, to avoid having his beauty damaged! Meanwhile, Pearl, in a bid to get closer to the Final Three, made an agreement with Bubble Bass, to help take care of the Infant Rube. While this benefited Bubble Bass immensely, it ended up costing Pearl valuable sleep, as she LITERALLY fell asleep during the competition, and LITERALLY fell ONTO Zarbon! A furious Zarbon was about to blast her, which forced Super Chum to QUICKLY punch him into a stone wall, BREAKING every bone in his body, and forced Zarbon to be eliminated via Med Evac for his own safety! A guilty Super Chum, felt like he blew his own oath to be a superhero, and decided to quit, for the safety of everyone else; but not before taking a large boat with him, so he could help clean up the garbage patches of the Pacific Ocean! Meanwhile, Taotie FINALLY became friends with Po, when Taotie won a reward, and let Po share it with him! Pretty amazing stuff, huh? And more amazing? Once today is done, we will have finally reached the half-way point in terms of remaining contestants, as two more contestants will find themselves eliminated, before the day is done! Which two teams will come out on top today? Find out on a page-turning adventure of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "It will be full of witty insights!" /

Instead of the normal show open, it shows Harvey Beaks as Tom Sawyer, Fee as Becky Thatcher, Future Adult Rube Goldfish as Huckleberry Finn, and Gerald as Jim, doing a quick re-enactment of the major plot points of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", all to the tune of Rush's mega-hit song, "Tom Sawyer!" / Rush sings: "A modern day warrior; a mean, mean stride. Today's Tom Sawyer has mean, mean pride! (Musical Break) Though his mind is not for rent, don't put him down as arrogant! His reserve, a quiet defense! Riding out the day's events! The river! What you say about his company is what you say about society! Catch the mist, catch the myth! Catch the mystery, catch the drift! The world is, the world is love and life are deep! Maybe as his skies are wide! Today's Tom Sawyer, he gets high on you! And the space he invades, he gets by on you! (Musical Break) No, his mind is not for rent; to any god or government! Always hopeful, yet discontent! He knows changes aren't permanent! But change is! What you say about his company, is what you say about society! Catch the witness, catch the wit! Catch the spirit, catch the spit! The world is, the world is love and life are deep! Maybe as his eyes are wide! Exit the warrior, today's Tom Sawyer; he gets high on you! And the energy you trade, he gets right on to the friction of the day as he gets by on you!" (Musical Finish as the song and re-enactment ends!) / "The Legend Of The Lost Fountain Pen of Mark Twain!" /

Future Adult Rube wakes up from sleeping, and he turns over to Wally, and Rube says: "Wally, are you sleeping?" Wally says: "I was; what's on your mind?" Rube says: "I had an AMAZING dream! I dreamed that Harvey, Fee, Gerald, and I were major characters from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and we were re-enacting the major plot points of that book!" Wally asks: "Were you Tom Sawyer?" Rube says: "No; I was Huckleberry Finn, but that DOES make sense, since he IS supposed to be older than Tom Sawyer, who Harvey was!" Wally says: "Harvey seems too innocent to pull off Tom Sawyer." Rube nods and says: "Most of the time, he is. But, Harvey IS just as capable of pulling off surprises like anyone else." Wally asks: "Well, why did you bring up that dream anyways?" Rube says: "Because I think that dream is trying to tell me something; like what to expect for our next challenge!" Wally asks: "Do you think the next challenge is going to revolve around Mark Twain?" Rube says: "Well, statistically speaking, we were BOUND to do a challenge revolving around ONE of Mark Twain's books sooner or later! Hopefully, Gerald will be THANKFUL that it is the more well-beloved Tom Sawyer, and not the more contested Huckleberry Finn!" Wally winces, and he says: "The second book DEFINITELY had some language that wouldn't FLY well with Gerald! You don't think..." Rube says: "I don't think Sniz, Olmec, or General Barracuda would; they have more sense than THAT! However, that might not stop SOME contestants from taking advantage of the situation!" Wally gulps, and he says: "I sure hope Gerald keeps his COOL during this challenge!"

(Confessional) Wally says: "Future Adult Rube Goldfish and I? We're starting to grow really close together. Rube even likes to tell me about his dreams. I mean, some of them are pretty cool! But this is the first time I've ever seen Rube be concerned about his dreams. I mean, he IS magic! What of his dreams are telling him something important that is on it's way? And...if it concerns Rube, it's BOUND to concern Harvey, Fee, and Gerald, to! I sure hope they've read up on ALL their classic literature, like they're supposed to!" / Future Adult Rube Goldfish says: "The sad thing is, no innocence can last forever. I read Tom Sawyer when I was 12, and found Huckleberry Finn when I was 16. I was probably one of the FEW people in my class that didn't break down either into obscenities or shouting rages during the discussion and report I had to do for my class. I was the ONLY one who received an A+! I know Harvey is smart; let's just hope he's mature enough to handle what's about to come his way! I already know there's NO way informing Gerald about this will end well! He'll know soon enough! I hope that Neptune will give him the strength to see this challenge through." (End Confessional) At Bubble Bass' trailer, it is still the middle of the night, and Bubble Bass actually wakes up from his sleep! Bubble Bass says: "It's no use! I just don't feel right getting ALL the straight sleep, and letting Pearl do all the work looking after Infant Rube. Maybe I should take some of the work load off of Pearl's shoulder's." He goes in to check in on Pearl and Infant Rube, only to find Pearl ASLEEP in a rocking chair, and Infant Rube has managed to climb onto the kitchen counter, and is heading for the kitchen sink, which is full of SHARP knives! Bubble Bass says: "OH!!!! Bubble UP!!!!"

And Bubble Bass quickly shoots a giant bubble at Infant Rube, STOPPING him in his tracks, and levitates the bubble over to him, before Bubble Bass pops it! Bubble Bass says: "PHEW! Don't SCARE me like that!" Pearl wakes up, and she says: "Huh? What did I miss?!" Bubble Bass says: "Pearl, what were you THINKING? Falling asleep with Infant Rube out of his crib? He almost unintentionally HURT himself! Blonda would KILL us if that happened!" Pearl says: "I don't know how it happened; I SWEAR! I was TRYING to sing Infant Rube a night time lullaby while in my rocking chair and...I must have fallen asleep instead. I am SO sorry!" Bubble Bass sighs, and says: "No, I'm the one who should be sorry. I just wanted a FULL night's sleep again SO badly, I was willing to dump all of MY responsibilities onto you. If I had known that Infant Rube was already capable of moving around THIS much, of COURSE I wouldn't have done it! Pearl, I'm really sorry I've been depriving you of your sleep. I...shouldn't have done that. And I won't, anymore. From now on, we'll take shifts in taking care of Infant Rube. After tonight, I'll take the first shift in watching Infant Rube, and you'll take the second. And if at any point you start to feel yourself getting drowsy, wake the other up!" Pearl says: "Of course, Bubble Bass. I was just trying to be a good sibling in letting you get your sleep." Bubble Bass says: "And I appreciate that, but you shouldn't try so hard. It's not healthy for you. But at least now, we can do this situation the right way. Maybe neither of us will get a full night's sleep for quite a while, but at least, we'll make sure Infant Rube stays safe!"

(Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "Wow! My bubble powers really DO come in handy! If I hadn't have been able to...I SHUDDER to even THINK of the alternative! I guess I now know what it means to be a protective parent. I'm not going to try to be one of THOSE parents that tries to protect their kids from EVERYTHING; I know THAT'S practically impossible! Instead, I'll protect him from the things I'm able to protect him from, and help teach him how to protect himself from the things that I can't anticipate happening to him! That's what a good parent SHOULD teach their kids, once they are old enough to understand!" / Pearl says: "Wow! Being a parent has REALLY changed Bubble Bass' demeanor! I mean, he was so understanding and apologetic for ME falling asleep! He's never done that before! I guess sometimes, having a baby DOES change your perspective on things! Everything else is secondary compared to Infant Rube's safety! And I know that from now on, I'll be able to put the needs of Infant Rube, before my own!" (End Confessional) It is early morning, and the Purple Parrots are having a MUCH needed party, with some of the party supplies that Po and Taotie have brought back from their trip to Avila Beach, California! Po says: "All right! We've brought souvenirs for everybody! A conch shell for Kitty, so you can hear the ocean even if you're MILES away from it! A grooming comb for Yakety, to help you comb your fur! A snow globe for Daggett, to remind you of the colder climates in Oregon! And for Bulma, something very practical and useful! The newest Rand McNally Atlas, version 2023, so you won't get lost in case you ever take a road trip across America!" Bulma sarcastically says: "Cool, an atlas worth $25 dollars. I can now RETIRE!" Taotie says: "Come on, Bulma, don't be like that! We got these gifts because we thought you would like them!" Yakety says: "You could at LEAST say 'Thank you', even if you don't appreciate your gift! But I do appreciate mine; thank you Po and Taotie!" Daggett says: "These gifts are nice, but we DO have to think about our next move. We have to figure out who will be our best option to eliminate next!"

Kitty says: "I want to get rid of Gerald; he SUCKS at EVERYTHING!" Po says: "Kitty, that isn't a nice thing to say!" Kitty says: "But it's TRUE! All Gerald has DONE this season is to stand around and look cool! That does NOT constitute a WINNER in my books!" Daggett says: "Gerald DID try to help Otto down the Steps of Knowledge one time." Kitty sarcastically says: "Whoo, whoo, whoo. Extra whoo, whoo, whoo. Look, he is by far the EASIEST pick for us to ELIMINATE!" Bulma says: "Come on! If you eliminate him, I'll be the only NORMAL human LEFT in this competition!" Taotie asks: "What's the matter, Bulma? Afraid of LACKING when it comes to human interaction?" Bulma says: "Look, I just don't feel right about eliminating someone just because they haven't been a good contestant! Can't we pick off a contestant we GENUINELY don't like?" Yakety says: "I didn't know you were capable of truly HAVING a conscience!" Bulma says: "Well, after the birth of my CHILD, I can and I DO have a conscience! And quite frankly, I don't think Gerald has warranted us trying to target him! He's done nothing to us, so in good conscience, I can't target him. Not yet, at any rate. Why don't we go for Jenny?" Kitty says: "Out of ALL the contestants, I thought you would WANT to keep a contestant like Jenny on!" Bulma says: "Don't get me wrong, she's VERY technological, technical, and the ONLY personality she has is the one her mother programmed into her! She's a LITERAL 'Strat-bot'! We HAVE to get rid of her!" Taotie says: "Tell you what; why don't we compromise? We try to get Jenny out of the competition first; and if that doesn't work, we'll settle for Gerald." Po says: "I can't argue with that!" Kitty says: "I wouldn't know how to!" Daggett says: "As long as we're all in agreement on something, that's fine with me!" Yakety says: "I'm in, to!" Bulma rolls her eyes, and says: "I just KNOW I'm going to REGRET this!" Taotie says: "It's settled, than! Our primary goal is Jenny! Our secondary goal is Gerald!"

(Confessional) Kitty says: "Look; normally speaking, you don't GET to be in the Final Three if you don't make unpopular moves every once in a while! Yes, Gerald is cool; but that's PRECISELY why he needs to leave! If ANY of us get pitted against him in a popularity contest, we'd probably lose! It's NOTHING personal; I just want to get further than Gerald does! It has no bearing on him as a person!" / Daggett smiles, and he says: "Well, it finally happened. It took a WHOLE lot longer than it should've, but it's finally happened! The team I'm in has FINALLY learned how to work together! And me? I'm FINALLY getting the respect I've always LONGED for! I should've TRIED becoming smart YEARS ago! That one episode from my show doesn't count; that was PURELY non-canon!" / Po says: "Personally, I'd rather go for Jenny. She IS the bigger physical and mental threat. So, it makes more sense to try to eliminate her first. And to top it off; Taotie's the one who thought of that! He's definitely thinking things more rationally now! If he keeps this up, we'll make the Team Merge for sure!" / Taotie says: "I'm not targeting Jenny because she's a robot or a girl; she's merely an obstacle to my goal! I have to see if my intelligence is better than what she's been programmed to handle! It's a challenge I've been wanting to tackle for a LONG time!" / Yakety says: "Now that it seems like we're FINALLY all on the same page, I think these challenges SHOULD go a whole lot smoother for us! Of course, anytime things seem to be going smoothly, they always seem to suddenly get a lot LESS smooth! I have a feeling that there may be some unforeseen developments just around the corner. That's usually how this show works!" / Bulma says: "Jenny HAS to be the next one to go! HELLO! She's the smartest contestant ON this show BESIDES me! I can't have someone who rivals me in brain power, be on this show! Besides, I'll be able to use my Pendant of Life in order to vote Jenny off! And with Buhduece's combination of skill and luck? I'm banking on HIM to win the Red Jaguars' Immunity Pendant of Life this time! Statistical analysis; THAT'S why I have the EDGE!" (End Confessional)

It is breakfast time, and everyone is having breakfast, until Sniz rings a gong, and over the loud-speakers, he says: "Attention Red Jaguars and Purple Parrots! Just as a reminder, Zarbon was eliminated via Med Evac last episode, and Super Chum quit! Please suit up into your team colors, and proceed to the Moat to find out about today's challenge! That is all!" Sandy says: "Well, at least we don't have to worry about anymore contestants with UNNATURAL strength in this competition!" Gerald says: "Aren't you forgetting about Jenny and Buhdeuce? HER strength is programmed, and his skills are...random!" Larry says: "That's different! Both of them are one of us! As long as this team is active, we're going to do everything we can to keep them in this game, as long as they keep being team players, of course!" Buhdeuce says: "You don't have to worry about me! I plan on being a Red Jaguar ALL the way!" Jenny says: "And while these challenges haven't been up to MY intellectual standards; I'll still support this team in whatever endeavor it undertakes!" Pearl says: "And I got more sleep this night, thanks to Bubble Bass modifying our agreement, so you've got nothing to worry about!" Sandy says: "Theoretically, I shouldn't! But Buhdeuce? You have video game experience; right?" Buhdeuce says: "Pretty much!" Sandy says: "Than you should know how QUICKLY these situations can CHANGE!" Buhdeuce nods, and he says: "All too well, Sandy! All too well!"

(Confessional) Gerald says: "It's nothing against Jenny, but I KNOW that the Team Merge is going to happen sooner or later; and she's bound to become a big THREAT against me, and the rest of my team-mates! So, if worse comes to worse, I'm going to rally Buhdeuce, Pearl, and any other contestant I can convince to vote her off! I mean, I have to prove that I'm MORE than just a COOL guy, I can also strategize with the best of them!" / Sandy says: "Being a Red Jaguar, I'm trying to keep this team have as much strength and speed as it can, for as long as it can. So far, pretty much everyone has been playing at their A game. But it's only a matter of time before one of us gets hit with a test that we'll have trouble passing! And I have a gut feeling that one of our own is being targeted! I just hope that they've prepared for that possibility!" / Larry says: "Look, if it comes down to our team having to do an Elimination Ceremony, I'd rather eliminate Jenny over Gerald! I don't know Jenny that well, or what she's capable of! But Gerald? I'm on good terms with him, and I'd like to keep him around as an extra vote for OUR side, if he's okay with that!" / Jenny says: "It's no secret our team has been more resilient to eliminations than some of the other teams this season; we have superior strength! But Gerald? I've never really been able to figure why HE is still on this team! If our team loses tonight, I want to get rid of him, just so our team will be STRONGER for his elimination!" / Pearl says: "Something feels DIFFERENT today! I sense that SOME of our team feels like they're being targeted, even from within! I personally wouldn't WANT to target anybody; but if Gerald asks me to help save him and vote off Jenny, I'm not going to deny a former, fellow contestant of season 2 that request!" / Buhdeuce says: "I don't think it's much of a stretch, to say that I don't think many of my fellow contestants thought I would be able to get THIS far, let alone, actually be able to beat Tigress! Even so; I definitely feel like the winds are about to change, and not in our favor! I better steel myself, because I think I'll have to get the Immunity Pendant of Life, if I'm going to stay safe!" (End Confessional)

The contestants suit up into their team colors, and head for the Moat! General Barracuda walks onstage, dressed in Native American garb, and Treeflower asks: "Why the Native American garb?" Sniz says: "Well, as it turns out, Nickelodeon doesn't really HAVE many Nicktoon characters that really identify as Native American, and we didn't have time to exactly PERUSE our extensive back catalog, so I'm paying General Barracuda $50 bucks extra to dress up as a Native American." General Barracuda says: "As long as NOBODY tries to play Cher's hit song, 'Half-Breed'!" Johnny Krill says: "How does he ALWAYS guess my ideas?" Sniz says: "Your guess is as good as mine!" Spongebob says: "And I'd just like to say, that feathered head-dress looks nice on you!" General Barracuda says: "I TOLD you he would think it looks nice!" Johnny says: "That's Spongebob, for you! He thinks a LOT of things are nice!" General Barracuda asks: "DON'T you have a room that you need to decide to guard?" Johnny sighs, and says: "Yes, sir!" And he leaves to guard a Temple room! Stimpy says: "But you still haven't told us the main reason for General Barracuda's appearance!" Sniz says: "It's because General Barracuda is going to play the MAIN antagonist in today's episode, because today's challenge is going to revolve around a VERY familiar American Author! Olmec, tell us about today's legend!" Olmec says: "Today's legend revolves around the Lost Fountain Pen of Mark Twain!" General Barracuda sighs, and he says: "And as such, I'm playing the role of the antagonist from the book of, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; Injun Joe." Marlene winces, and she says: "Can you...get away with SAYING it like THAT?!" General Barracuda says: "It's for HISTORICAL accuracy and context! That's the way Mark Twain originally WROTE it! We're not going to LIE and sugarcoat unpleasant things about this history; that would be wrong! Besides, I ASSUME all of you have actually READ the story!" Harvey nods, and he says: "Fee and I have over this summer, only just!"

General Barracuda says: "Than I trust everyone will be mature enough to handle the responsibility of the historical accuracy, and keep any snide comments to yourself!" Keswick says: "Don't worry, General! We will!" Dudley says: "So, now that we've gotten THAT diatribe out of the way, why don't you tell us how we're going to get across the Moat?" Sniz says: "Simple! Mark Twain liked to write books about characters taking a long, wooden pole, and pushing themselves on a raft, to get across, and up the Mississippi River! In this challenge, you will all be doing the same thing! In teams of three, each of you will take a raft, and paddle it across the Moat! Once one team of three has gotten across, the other team of three will take their raft across." Fee says: "But how can OUR team do that? We only HAVE five contestants!" Sniz says: "Which is why for today, you get General Barracuda to help you out in that regard, lucky YOU!" Treeflower says: "HEY! You never said that General Barracuda COULD help a team if their numbers got really low!" Sniz says: "You didn't ask!" Spongebob says: "OOH, he's got you THERE, Treeflower!" Sniz says: "Anyways, once both teams of three have gotten a team across, you will ring the Gong Pedestal to signify that you have finished crossing! As usual, where you finish, will determine which team you will get paired up with! Green Monkeys, you'll have to sit one extra member of your own, out." Stimpy says: "I think I'll sit this one out. It's not that I'm afraid of the water, I just don't feel like getting wet right now!" Sniz says: "All right! Daggett, Po, and Taotie will go first for the Purple Parrots; Treeflower, Spongebob, and Marlene will go first for the Green Monkeys. Sandy, Larry, and Buhdeuce will go first for the Red Jaguars; and Dudley, Chameleon, and Bubble Bass will go first for the Orange Iguanas. Everyone else will go second! And to help you row across the moat, we will be playing Redbone's 'Come And Get Your Love' to get you in the mood! On your marks, get set, GO!" / While the first team of contestants rowing across the Moat is rather uneventful, with everyone keeping a steady pace with each other, during the second team crossing, Kitty gets the 'Brilliant' idea to try to SPLASH Gerald with water, but she miscalculates her aim, and ends up hitting Jenny, which causes her to briefly short-circuit, and causes her to shoot lasers into the Purple Parrots' raft, stopping their trek! /

Redbone sings: "Hail (Hail); what's the matter with your head, yeah! All right! Hail (Hail); what's the matter with your mind, and your sign, and-a, oh-oh-oh! Hail (Hail); nothin' the matter with your head! Baby find it, come on and find it! Hail, with it, baby, 'cause you're fine and you're mine, and you look so divine! Come and get your love! Come and get your love! Come and get your love! Come and get your love! Hail (Hail); what's the matter with you? Feel right? Don't you feel right, baby? Hail, oh yeah; get it from the main vine, all right! I said-a find it, find it, go on and love it if you like it, yeah! Hail (Hail); it's your business if you want some, take some! Get it together, baby! Come and get your love! Come and get your love! Come and get your love! Come and get your love! Come and get your love, come and get your love; come and get your love, now! Come and get your love, come and get your love; come and get your love, now! Come and get your love, come and get your love; come and get your love, now! Come and get your love, come and get your love; come and get your love, now! Come and get your love! Come and get your love! Come and get your love! Come and get your love! Hail (Hail); what's the matter with you? Feel right? Don't you feel right, baby? Hail, oh yeah; get it from the main vine, alright! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Come and get your love! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, woo-hoo! Come and get your love! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Come and get your love! La, na, na, na, na, na, da, boom! Come and get your love! La, da boom, boom, boom, ta, daba, boom, boom! Come and get your love! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, woo-hoo! Come and get your love! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Come and get your love! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Come and get your love! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Come and get your love! La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, woo-hoo!

La, da boom, boom, boom, ta, daba, boom, boom! Come and get your love!" /

And the song ends as the Green Monkeys and Orange Iguanas finish crossing first, and Sniz says: "And it's over! The Green Monkeys will be partnering with the Orange Iguanas, this time! Red Jaguars and Purple Parrots, it will be VERY interesting to see how YOUR teams fare together during THIS challenge!" Pearl says: "Can somebody do something about Jenny?! She went all crazy!" Larry says: "Uh...maybe put her in some rice, and dry her out?" Sandy says: "That only works on CELL phones!" Buhdeuce says: "I've got it! Luckily, I always bring my battery powered hair-dryer; and a solar battery, at that!" Pearl raises an eyebrow, and she says: "Seriously?" Buhdeuce says: "Hey! You'll never know when you'll have a hair and/or drying emergency, like this!" And Buhdeuce turns on his hair-dryer, and dries Jenny off, restoring her to normal! Jenny says: "Whew! Someone...must have short-circuited my system! I went off-line for a moment! I DREAMED that I saw the number TWO; pretty crazy, right?" Bulma says: "Not as crazy as YOU were, when YOU wrecked our RAFT!" Gerald says: "Hey! Kitty STARTED it when she tried to SPLASH me!" Taotie says: "Yeah! What were you trying to DO?! We're supposed to be ELIMINATING contestants, not trying to KILL ourselves!" Kitty sputters, and she says: "But...don't you SEE?! This is exactly why JENNY needs to be eliminated!" Po says: "But YOU wanted to eliminate Gerald!" Kitty sputters, and she says: "Can't a girl change her MIND?!" Gerald says: "Hey; why DID you want to eliminate me, anyways?" Daggett says: "Trust me, she did NOT have a good reason for it; she thought you were useless!" Kitty yells: "DAGGETT!!!!" Daggett says: "What? It's true! He was GOING to find out eventually! I just saved him a bunch of steps!" Gerald says: "Well, at least we now know who the most HONEST member of the Purple Parrots is, and it's not EVEN who I thought it would be! I expected better from YOU, Kitty! But mark my words; if we LOSE this challenge together, YOU are going DOWN!"

Yakety says: "Gerald MIGHT have a POINT, Bulma! Maybe us working together CHANGES everything!" Bulma says: "Absolutely NOTHING has changed! On the contrary, this will make our plan work better; and we catch TWO cats with ONE bag; metaphorically speaking of course!" Yakety looks at Kitty AND Jenny, and he says: "I understand what you mean; no WONDER you made it all the way to the Final Seven the LAST time you entered, Bulma!" Bulma smiles, and she says: "It's a gift; I'm used to it!" (Confessional) Larry says: "Well, how was I SUPPOSED to know the rice trick only worked on cell phones? Technology isn't REALLY my thing!" / Buhdeuce says: "A good Breadwinner ALWAYS packs for the unexpected, and prepares for ANYTHING that might happen! It's the secret to MY success!" / Jenny says: "I can't BELIEVE Kitty tried to SPLASH me! Doesn't she REALIZE how DANGEROUS it is for ME to get wet?! I am NOT a fan of water; H2O and I don't MIX!" / Gerald says: "Kitty is bold; I'll give her that much! But if she's going to play with fire, she is SO going to get BURNED!" / Taotie says: "You know things have gotten CRAZY; when Kitty of ALL contestants, surpasses ME in the CRAZY department! It looks like I got off of the villain train JUST in time, lucky me!" / Daggett, with NO sympathy, says: "Look; Kitty knew the risks of this whole endeavor, so she shouldn't have been surprised when HER plan went wrong! She only has herself to blame for BOTH Gerald and Jenny now hating her! And quite frankly, the rest of us aren't too fond of her, either! It's a shame, I REALLY thought Kitty and I could go to the Final Three together, but now it looks like PO will have to fill one of my slots! I'm not sure about the other one just yet!" / Yakety says: "All things considered, I landed myself into a pretty good arrangement, being in an alliance with Bulma! After all, I think Bulma KNOWS that if she betrays me, she'll lose the only REAL friend she's ever made on this show, and I know she can't afford for THAT to happen! And so far, all the other contestants I've had to eliminate; have pretty much taken themselves out! Overall, I am in a VERY good position right now!" / Bulma says: "Losing a potential, future female friend like Jenny? Eh, tragic. But on the bright side, the target has ONCE again moved off ME, and NOBODY even WANTS to eliminate me THIS time! I have NEVER felt so safe!" (End Confessional)

Sniz says: "We're going to make sure all of contestants are all right! But don't go away, because we'll be right back with MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" (Commercial Break) / After the commercials end, the contestants are starting to gather at the Steps of Knowledge. Treeflower says: "Wow! That was the SHORTEST commercial break I've ever gone through!" Spongebob says: "They must have had a REALLY good reason for that!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "If the commercials were short, that must mean that SOMEBODY is expecting SOMETHING to happen, and I DON'T think it's going to be a GOOD thing!" (End Confessional) Bubble Bass turns to Harvey and Fee, and he says: "Kids, I think the Purple Parrots and Red Jaguars are about to become embroiled in something, and I don't think there's anything we can do to stop it. It's probably a good idea for YOU two to stay out of this! I don't want EITHER of you getting hurt!" Harvey says: "See, Fee? I told you he cared about us!" Fee says: "Okay, I'll admit I was wrong!" (Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "I don't like this current situation, but that doesn't mean that Harvey and Fee have to get involved in it! If I can keep them out of it, I will!" / Harvey says: "It takes a lot for Fee to admit when she's wrong! In most cases, I truly believe in everyone's inner goodness, and that common sense will prevail when it needs to!" / Fee says: "Trust me, if it weren't for the rules; I'd END the charade between Kitty and Jenny myself! BUT...than Harvey would be WITHOUT me, since I would be eliminated via penalty votes, so I'll keep out of this for HIS sake, AND my own!" (End Confessional)

Sandy says: "Jenny, are you SURE you're all right?" Jenny says: "All my systems are performing at optimum efficiency, no irregularity can be found in my data banks!" Buhdeuce says: "Even so, I better team up with her, just to be on the safe side!" (Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "If someone DOES try to start something with Jenny, I'm probably the best bet to keep a handle on it! I KNEW someday all my video game skills would be put to good use!" / Jenny says: "It sure is good to have fellow friends to watch your back! I've got to make sure that I get some good presents to Brad, Tuck, my Mom, the Silver Shell, and...maybe Sheldon, just to show that I'm on OKAY terms with him!" (End Confessional) Taotie says: "Kitty, try not to do ANYTHING funny or 'Cute' with Jenny THIS time, all right?!" Po says: "Especially because our fates our now linked together! If their team loses, we lose WITH them! So, keep any 'BRIGHT' ideas to yourself!" Kitty groans, and she says: "FINE!!!!" (Confessional) Po says: "Take my word for it; one of the LAST contestants you WANT to get mad, is Jenny!" / Kitty scoffs, and she says: "Figures! I FINALLY decide to be pro-active in trying to WIN challenges, and now everyone's MAD at me for it! See if I ever help THEM again!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right everyone, I'm BACK!" Stimpy says: "Why the short break this time?" Sniz says: "Because I don't want to waste anymore time than we have to, and I just want to get this episode done! Is that all right with everyone else?" Marlene says: "No complaints from me here; I'm fine with it!" Sniz says: "All right! Than who are we going to get to volunteer for the Steps of Knowledge?" Stimpy says: "I sat out the last challenge; I'll partner with Rube, if you don't mind, Wally!" Wally says: "Of course not! The more friends, the merrier!" Bulma says: "Kitty, how would YOU like to partner with Taotie?" Taotie yells: "Are you CRAZY?! She's going to get some INANE idea in her head, which will get Jenny and/or Gerald MAD at Kitty!" Bulma says: "EXACTLY!!!!"

(Confessional) Daggett says: "I forgot just how DEVIOUS Bulma can get when she's determined! It's a good thing I'm smart NOW; I have a better chance against her!" / Bulma says: "Kitty will make a mistake. It's just a matter of 'When'!" / Kitty breathes deeply, and she says: "Come on, Kitty; you can do this! DON'T LOSE CONTROL!" (End Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "Jenny and I volunteer for the Red Jaguars! But first; Gerald, I think you BETTER put these ear-muffs on!" Gerald asks: "Why?" Buhdeuce whispers to Gerald, and Buhdeuce says: "Because I don't TRUST Kitty NOT to say something that will GREATLY offend you, IF you know what I mean!" Gerald nods and he says: "I think you're right! All right; I'll put them on, and I'll take them off ONLY when the cray-cray is over!" (Confessional) Sandy says: "PHEW! Quick thinking, Buhdeuce! At least we're going to dodge ONE bullet today!" / Gerald says: "Normally; Buhdeuce is about a 3 watt light-bulb in a 100 watt light-bulb world! But if he's THAT worried about me being offended, I don't want to risk it! I don't want to be one of THOSE contestants that gets all crazy just because SOMEONE tries to provoke me!" / Buhdeuce says: "Look, with Sway-Sway gone; I have to be TWICE as competent for the BOTH of us! The honor of our show is riding on it!" (End Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "And Chameleon and I will volunteer for the Orange Iguanas! Dudley, make sure that Harvey and Fee DON'T hear anything until I say so!" Dudley nods, and he says: "Sorry kids, I think he means it!" And Dudley pulls out two TUFF ear-muffs, and places them over Harvey and Fee! Sniz says: "Okay! Everyone is ready; we're on a 30 second delay, Olmec, tell us more about today's Legend of the Lost Fountain Pen of Mark Twain!"

Olmec says: "Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his Pen Name of Mark Twain, was born on November 30, 1835, during one of Hailey's Comets visits, in the town of Florida, Missouri. Mark Twain gained fame as an American writer, humorist, publisher, and lecturer. Mark Twain was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, which later provided the setting for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer written in 1876, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn written in 1884. As slavery was legal in Hannibal, Missouri while Mark Twain was growing up, it would later serve as a theme in these writings. He first served an apprenticeship with a printer, then he worked as a typesetter, contributing articles to the Hannibal Journal, the newspaper of his older brother Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the A.B. Chambers on the Mississippi River, learning how to navigate its currents effectively, and how to read the river's constantly shifting channels. Mark Twain later headed west to join his brother Orion, in Nevada. While he worked in journalism on the Territorial Enterprise in Virginia City, Nevada; he first began using the pen name of Mark Twain. He also wrote his first story which catapulted him into the national spotlight, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, which was published on November 18, 1865! The legends say, that Mark Twain first began using his fountain pen to write down his initial ideas, before he typed them! After his initial success, Mark Twain met and eventually married a woman named Olivia Langdon in Elmira, New York, in 1870. They briefly lived in Buffalo, New York, before moving to and living in Hartford, Conneticut between 1874 through 1891. It is here that Mark Twain wrote many of his classic novels, including 1881's The Prince And The Pauper, and 1889's A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court. Mark Twain ended up passing away on April 21, 1910, just one day after Hailey Comet's closest approach to Earth in that year! Mark Twain's fountain pen, was nowhere to be found! Eventually, Mark Twain's fountain pen found it's way to the Temple! Your job is to retrieve the Lost Fountain Pen of Mark Twain, and bring it back here!"

Sniz says: "Thanks, Olmec! Where can the Lost Fountain Pen of Mark Twain be found?" Olmec says: "The Lost Fountain Pen can be found in The Lost Library." Sniz says: "All right, you know the drill, contestants. You will answer questions, and try to be the first team to get down to the bottom! If any team besides the Green Monkeys make it to the bottom first, they will have a chance to win an Immunity Pendant of Life. The other teams will have to try finding one during the Challenge Arena! Olmec, take it away!" Olmec asks: "What was Mark Twain's birth name?" Buhdeuce rings in, and says: "Samuel Langhorne Clemens!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down a step! Taotie says: "You know, it's not too late to change TARGETS!" Kitty says: "Like I'm WORRIED about Buhdeuce! He's got no realistic chance of WINNING!" Buhdeuce says: "Say that to me AGAIN during the Challenge Arena, and I might show you a thing or three!" Kitty sputters, and she says: "Taotie, don't DO that!" Taotie says: "Hey! I made a SUGGESTION! I didn't tell YOU to talk like that!" Po says: "OOH, he's got you THERE, Kitty!" Olmec asks: "When was Mark Twain born?" Bubble Bass rings in, and he says: "November 30, 1835!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Orange Iguanas move down a step! Bubble Bass asks: "Buhdeuce, do you think you're good enough to handle Jenny no matter what happens?" Buhdeuce says: "I'll keep EVERYTHING under control as LONG as I can!" Bubble Bass says: "Good! That makes ME feel a whole lot better!" Olmec asks: "Where was Mark Twain born?" Taotie rings in, and he says: "The city of Florida, Missouri!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Purple Parrots move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "Don't you even THINK of saying anything funny!"

Taotie says: "You're going to have to be MORE specific; me, or Kitty?" Bubble Bass says: "Either, and, or; maybe some combination of all of the above!" Olmec asks: "Where was Mark Twain raised?" Rube rings in, and he says: "The town of Hannibal, Missouri!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down a step! Rube says: "Don't worry, Buhdeuce! We've got your back!" Stimpy asks: "For what?" Rube says: "ANYTHING that Kitty thinks of!" Kitty says: "Why would I think of ANYTHING bad?! I just want to get further ahead in the competition!" Bulma says: "So do I, but you don't see ME making insults about people that I don't even know!" Kitty says: "Oh, yeah?! If I REALLY wanted to insult Jenny; I'd call HER a clanking, clacking collection of cacophonous JUNK!!!!" Jenny angrily says: "HEY! That's going TOO far!" Buhdeuce says: "Don't over-react, Jenny; stay calm!" Jenny says: "Scanning database...calm emotion NOT found!" Sandy says: "I thought she said there was nothing WRONG with her systems!" Larry says: "I think we should've been a little more SPECIFIC!" Olmec asks: "When was The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, written?" Buhdeuce QUICKLY makes Jenny ring in, and Jenny's priorities shift, and she answers: "In 1876!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down a step! Pearl says: "Quick thinking, Buhdeuce!" Buhdeuce says: "Save the thanks for WHEN we finish these steps! Jenny, STAY focused on THIS task!" Jenny says: "Okay; NEW priority, staying focused on THIS task! Got it!" Olmec asks: "Where was it that Mark Twain first used his pen name of Mark Twain?" Chameleon quickly rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "In Virginia City, Nevada!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Orange Iguanas move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "Okay! This game is becoming TOO risky! It doesn't matter WHICH one of us answers this question next; either we, or the Red Jaguars need to get it correct BEFORE Kitty says anything else!" Buhdeuce says: "No arguments, there!"

Olmec asks: "What was Mark Twain's first piece of successful literature?" But Kitty moves REALLY fast, and Taotie answers: "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" Bulma starts to get worried, and she says: "Taotie, now might be a good time..." Taotie says: "Can it, Bulma! We're going to WIN this challenge!" Bulma yells: "It's TOO risky! If Kitty SAYS the wrong thing; Jenny will--!" Kitty says: "For the last time, BULMA; I will NOT be saying ANYTHING, if that PLEASES 'Her All Mighty HIGHNESS'!" (Confessional) Bulma says: "Her All Mighty Highness? Is THAT what Kitty THINKS I call myself? In private, maybe! But NEVER in public!" (End Confessional) Olmec asks: "Who did Mark Twain marry?" Rube rings in, and he says: "Olivia Langdon, in 1870!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down a step! Sniz says: "Okay! Whoever gets the next question correct, wins!" Olmec asks: "When was The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn written?" And Jenny just BARELY manages to beat everyone else, and she says: "In 1884!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And The Red Jaguars move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "The Red Jaguars did it! They've got the Immunity Pendant! Who's it going to go to?" Buhdeuce says: "I think I better hold onto it, just because I don't think we're out of the woods just--." Jenny says: "It is also important to know--." Marlene says: "Jenny, you can stop now; challenge is over!" Wally says: "But she HEARD to FOCUS on the TASK; I don't think she can STOP!!!!" Keswick yells: "Focus on a NEW task; NOW!!!!" But Jenny STILL doesn't, or is unable to comply, and she says: "...That the book that gets banned the most often by Mark Twain, is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, due to the frequent usage of the word--." Dudley yells: "STOP!!!!" /

(A Test Pattern appears on-screen, and words appear on the screen, as follows) "Due to technical difficulties beyond our control, some of the visual and audio footage has gone missing from this episode. We apologize for this inconvenience." / The camera turns back on, and it switches to EVERYBODY, ESPECIALLY Gerald, looking STUNNED at Jenny! Gerald lividly says: "WHAT did that girl JUST say?! No she DIDN'T, she practically DID! That's not OKAY; not under ANY circumstances! You're getting eliminated RIGHT now!" Jenny snaps out of it, and she says: "I think I went on auto-pilot! What did I--." Buhdeuce shakes his head, and he says: "Sorry, Jenny! You're on your own!" And Pearl, Jenny, Gerald, and Sandy all converge on Jenny and begin to hit her as HARD as they can, putting visible dents in her! Jenny says: "You can't DO this! I was answering a QUESTION! Sniz, check the RULES!!!!" Bulma whispers to Sniz, and she says: "I'll give you $20 bucks if you'll look the other way!" Sniz takes the $20, and he says: "I don't SEE anything against the rules!" Jenny says: "That's a statistical--AHH!!!!" Johnny shakes his head, and he says: "I'm SO glad we DIDN'T film this season LIVE!" Sniz says: "You SAID it!" Bulma shakes her head at Kitty, and Bulma says: "You just HAD to provoke her, didn't you? Couldn't leave well enough alone, you just HAD to keep pushing her, and NOW, look at what's happening!" Kitty says: "But Jenny is going to be ELIMINATED! Isn't THAT what you WANTED?!" Taotie says: "Maybe, but NOW everyone, especially Gerald, is going to be MAD at us for what YOU did! I'm sorry, but we can't keep you ON, anymore! You are gone!" Yakety says: "I'm sorry, but I have to side with THEM!" Daggett says: "I may not be a SMART dog, but I know what ROAD KILL is!" Kitty says: "Po, you'll back me up, won't you?" Po, with complete sincerity, says: "I think you better run, while you still have a chance!" Kitty nods, runs to Sniz, and she says: "Sniz, I know this is sudden notice, but, I'm quitting this show for the safety of my health!" Sniz says: "Good call!" Kitty says: "Is there ANOTHER way out of here?!" Sniz says: "Through the cat flap in the side door!" Kitty says: "Seriously?" Johnny says: "Hey! Less talking, more running!" Kitty says: "Right! Dudley, Keswick, and Chameleon, avenge ME!!!!"

And she runs for the exit as fast as she can! Larry says: "Hey! Kitty is getting away!" Pearl says: "Forget her! We don't NEED to deal with her!" Sniz says: "That's quite right! Seeing as how Kitty just quit, that leaves us with three teams, and ONE of those teams looks like they have a member who looks like they could use a tune-up!" Bubble Bass says: "There's this GREAT new invention, called a 'Filter', Jenny; you MIGHT want to invest in one!" Jenny nervously says: "Would you believe my mother thought having one would be a waste of money and data space?" Chameleon says: "Look; I'm just glad Harvey and Fee didn't HEAR what you said! The NERVE!" Stimpy says: "Even REN would know better!" Marlene says: "Sorry, Jenny! But I don't think ANY Immunity Pendant could save YOU, now!" Sniz says: "Quite right! Jenny, I am sorry, but we WILL have to hit you with four Penalty Votes at the Elimination Challenge!" Jenny says: "But our TEAM hasn't even LOST the Challenge Arena, yet!" Sniz says: "Ordinarily, that WOULD be the case! But the Purple Parrots are DOWN a player thanks to Kitty quitting; and I'm afraid that thanks to YOUR little stunt, we are now COMPLETELY out of time for both the Challenge Arena AND a Temple Run! So, since the Green Monkeys and the Orange Iguanas were the ONLY teams that DIDN'T engage in anything STUPID today, I'm just going to give THEM immunity for the day! Red Jaguars, you will be coming with me to the Elimination Ceremony, right now!"

(Confessional) Sandy says: "Jenny, you SHOULD have vouched for a filter!" / Gerald says: "Even I wouldn't say that word, because it's TOO demeaning of a word!" / Pearl says: "I guess Sandy was RIGHT in Jenny being a 'Strat-bot'. We can't AFFORD to have another mess-up like that! Jenny is OUT of here!" / Larry says: "If there's one thing I hate worse than being out of shape, it's contestants who are intolerant and insensitive to the feelings of others!" / Buhdeuce sighs, and he says: "It's a shame. I really hoped Jenny would've been useful to us longer. But even I lack the skills to rewind time, so Jenny has to go!" / Daggett says: "I once heard that an episode plot of My Life As A Teenage Robot was rejected for being too dark. Even so, I don't think Jenny has made ANY mistake as bad as the one she made today! Jenny is SO toast right now!" / Taotie says: "I might have done MANY villainous things during my life, but being intolerant of other people, just because you CAN be, is NOT one of them! Jenny is GONE!" / Po says: "Mrs. Wakeman, please give your daughter a much-needed tune-up, BEFORE she resumes superhero service!" / Yakety says: "Looks like our team made the right call in making Jenny our primary target! It's no WONDER Bulma wanted her off!" / Bulma sighs and she says: "It's SO nice that for once, our team didn't COMPLETELY humiliate itself in a challenge. Jenny made Kitty's efforts look like NOTHING today! And since we've already LOST a member, that means I don't even NEED to find the Immunity Pendant, yet!" (End Confessional) The Red Jaguars, and the Purple Parrots are at the Elimination Ceremony.

Jenny asks: "Uh, why are the Purple Parrots here? They already LOST a member!" Sniz says: "Yes, but the fate of their team, was also tied to YOUR team, and your team lost! And since the Purple Parrots already lost a member, that means that only a member of the Red Jaguars can be eliminated today, and Jenny WILL have four penalty votes given to her! I don't think I need to say anything else; so vote!" And everyone quickly makes their choice as to who they want gone! Sniz says: "All right! Time to reveal the safe contestants! Daggett, Sandy, Pearl, Larry, Buhdeuce, Taotie, Po, Bulma, Yakety!" It is down to Gerald and Jenny! Sniz says: "Contestants, this is the last Chocolate Pendant of Life!" Gerald just glares angrily at Jenny, while Jenny actually LOOKS nervous for the first time in her robotic life! Sniz says: "Gerald!" And Jenny sighs in accepted defeat! Bulma says: "Bye-bye, Jenny! That was QUITE a miscalculation on YOUR part!" Jenny says: "I know! I REALLY hope the Silver Shell wasn't watching today!" Sniz says: "Jenny, the Mine Cart of Shame, awaits." And Jenny puts on a helmet, and straps herself in. Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF!!!!" And Jenny rockets down the mine cart, and through the Mine Shaft of Shame! Sniz says: "And just like that, two more contestants are out of here! Hopefully, today will be the LAST time that we don't get to do a challenge arena or a Temple Run! We're off next time due to it being a Performance Review, but be sure to tune in for the next exciting adventure of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "The next adventure is just around the bend!" /

Stinger: It focuses on Kitty Katswell, who has made her way to Ojai, California; and she is incognito, and laying low! Kitty breathes deeply, and she says: "I think I've lost everyone! This should be a safe place to stay! It's a good place to get lost, and no one will recognize me in this trench coat! I can hide out here until this whole mess blows over!" But to Kitty's shock, a portal appears right in FRONT of her, and out pops Jenny in the Mine Cart! Kitty yells: "JENNY?!!!" Jenny asks: "KITTY?!!! It was YOU! If it wasn't for YOU targeting me, I wouldn't have gone off on a TANGENT!" Kitty says: "I couldn't have PREDICTED you had THAT word in your vocabulary!" Jenny says: "Now GERALD hates me; General Barracuda hates me; the surviving Jackson siblings hate me, all EIGHT of them! You are going to PAY!!!!" And Jenny begins flying after Kitty, and trying to zap Kitty with lasers! Kitty keeps running and she says: "Okay, okay! I'm sorry, I'm sorry; I'm SO sorry! Where is a lightning storm when you NEED one?!" /

Personal Notes: With any luck, this will probably be the last time writing this series that I will flirt with controversy, and only because of being historically accurate. What I wanted to do with Kitty, was to find a better justified reason for her leaving this time, as opposed to last time, when Taotie basically engineered her elimination! Ultimately, it boiled down to Kitty's behavior as a cat. I've noticed that with many felines, they tend to have a have a 'Superior Than Thou' mentality, even to the people who own them, even if they have no justified reason for doing so. It ended up being THAT mentality, that indirectly did Kitty in; as she unintentionally sent Jenny flying off on a tangent, and Kitty was forced to quit, to save what little face she had left! Meanwhile, even though Jenny was a victim, she couldn't get off the hook for saying a word that should NEVER be said in public! She had to face the consequences of her actions to, which is why she also got eliminated in this episode! Now we're down to the half-way point in terms of contestants, and the next episode should be a lot more normal, being a Performance Review and everything! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

It's time to re-run the latest "Performance Review"! Enjoy! /

Instead of the normal show open, a tropical jungle setting is shown, and the words: "Total Cartoon Legends: Performance Review" appear in solid gold, and clips from the previous six episodes are shown! / Tigress suddenly wakes up, and she asks: "Is it time for ME to win already?!" / Daggett says: "Yes! We did it, we did it, and we DID it! Didn't we TELL you?! Working together, we FINALLY achieved a victory!" / Dora chuckles, and she says: "Don't waste your precious time, Abuela!" Bulma screams: "Don't you DARE call ME 'Grandma', in YOUR native tongue, Dora!" / Buhdeuce is crying his eyes out, and drowning his sorrows by eating a WHOLE bowl of Neapolitan Ice Cream! Buhdeuce says: "Sway-Sway, I MISS you!!!!" / Rube says: "Mother? MOTHER!! It's funny, Wally and I were talking, and, we were kind of wondering...have you lost WEIGHT?! A LOT of WEIGHT?!" / Wally says: "That's NOT what I mean! I...know. Po told me! You HAVE to talk to her!" Rube asks: "NOW?" Wally says: "NOW!" And Rube groans in frustration! Wally in sincerity mode, says: "I knew you'd understand!" / Rube groans, and he says: "This is gonna SUCK!!" / Blonda screams: "Where...or should I say, 'WHEN', will I go wrong?!" / Rube sighs, and he says: "That's the problem with doing the right thing, sometimes. Sometimes, you do it by yourself." / Squidward says: "A 'Squidward'?! Is THAT what you're calling it, now?" / Tigress says: "Winning, my FOOT! Dora would have to be at LEAST 18, and 60 pounds STRONGER before she can even THINK of stepping into a ring with ME!" / Squidward says: "Uh-oh! Maybe Spongebob ISN'T faking being mature! And if he's NOT faking being mature...I'm in trouble!" / Rube says: "Hi mom! Did you lose WEIGHT?! A LOT of WEIGHT?!!!" / Rube says: "I suppose SOME families have been through WORSE moments than this...none come to my mind at the moment!" / Bubble Bass says: "See? Our son DIDN'T have any trouble WHATSOEVER!" / Zim says: "You're eliminating the great ZIM?! You're making a mistake!" Daggett scoffs, and he says: "Please! The only mistake WE made was too NOT eliminate you sooner! Thankfully, that's a mistake we DON'T have to live with, unlike YOU!" /

Dog says: "I suppose I've just found out the meaning to the phrase, 'Can't live with them, can't live without them'." / Bubble Bass scoffs, and he says: "Yeah! A song with the word or variation of the word 'Love' in the title! Like there aren't a MILLION of THOSE already!" Squidward yells: "Name TWENTY!!" Without ANY hesitation, Bubble Bass says: "Love Me Tender; Love Me Do; She Loves You; And I Love Her; All My Loving; Where Did Our Love Go; Stop In The Name Of Love; Baby Love; You Can't Hurry Love; Jefferson Airplane's Somebody To Love; All You Need Is Love; Summer of Love; Love Is Like a Heatwave; Love And Affection; Time, Love, and Tenderness; When A Man Loves A Woman; Love Shack; Not Enough Love In The World; Silly Love Songs; and Queen's Somebody To Love."

Squidward says: "Name FIVE more!" STILL without ANY hesitation, Bubble Bass says: "Love So Right; Puppy Love; Who's Loving You; Endless Love: and Vision Of Love." / Bubble Bass says: "If Squidward doesn't WANT to apologize to Spongebob, that's his problem! I've done everything I can for Squidward! From now on, he's on his own!" / Yakety says: "Bulma called ME her loyal friend! I'm on my WAY to becoming a popular Nicktoon!" / Tigress yells: "Winning IS fun!!!!" / Gerald says: "If Tigress could only learn to loosen up ONCE in a while, she might actually HAVE a decent personality!" / Treeflower says: "Finally! A REAL challenge!" Stimpy says: "IGNORE her!" / Spongebob says: "Doesn't feel so GOOD, does it? Someone giving YOU the cold shoulder instead of the other way around?" / Taotie says: "This may come as a SURPRISE, coming from a former foe of yours, but if WINNING is ALL you love, than that's PRECISELY what you'll receive!" Tigress says: "I PLAN to!" / Larry yells: "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!!" / Dora sings: "Blonda is going to leave, because Squidward's clarinet is in her trailer! LOSER!!!!" / Sniz yells: "What's going on HERE?!!!" Squidward woozily says: "Woah, is me, I'm DYING!!!! My race is run! How could I LOSE my clarinet?! I've got to get my clarinet BACK!!!!" /

General Barracuda groans, and asks: "Is this going to be a WHOLE thing?! I thought we were OVER stupid antics, like preempting a Steps Of Knowledge challenge, JUST because someone decided to have an EPISODE!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! / Squidward sheepishly says: "So, sorry about the whole, 'Accusatory' thing! I guess...none of you took my clarinet after all!" / Tigress says: "Okay, long story short; I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Everybody LOVES everybody! Now, how about my Immunity Pendant for finding his clarinet?!" / Daggett says: "Someone, has GOT to teach me how to move just as HALF as fast as Tigress does!" / Marlene sarcastically says: "Oh, SURE!!!! Squidward's clarinet just HAPPENS to go MISSING, and it MAGICALLY appears in YOUR trailer!" Blonda asks: "Are you calling ME a LIAR?!" Dora says: "Well, if the sombrero FITS...!" Blonda angrily says: "SAY THAT AGAIN!!!!" Dora slowly says: "IF the som-brer-O; FITS!!!!" / Dora screams: "SHE broke my left arm! She broke my left ARM!!!! The BAD fairy lady BROKE my left arm!" / Sniz says: "Here, take this official, certified, award saying that you are now and forever, the FASTEST athlete to EVER complete a Temple Run, and NEVER compete in a Temple Run again!" / Blonda says: "So, Dora eliminated YOU to?" Squidward says: "If Bulma's cryptic HINT was any indication, than most likely!" / Map mutters, as he says: "But mommy, I don't want to go to school today. I want to STAY home and bake COOKIES with you!" / Tigress says: "I'm never one to turn down a good show, and I ALWAYS give the people what they pay for!" / Buhdeuce says: "I don't know WHY Tigress wants someone to beat her; and quite frankly, I don't care! If she wants someone to beat her, I'll GLADLY step up to the plate!" / Tigress says: "I have to prove that I'm WILLING to lose gracefully, okay?! It's the only way I can OFFICIALLY prove that I'm over my old drive to win!" / Dora says: "Consequences, SCHMONSEQUENCES, as long as I'm rich!" /

Dora asks: "WHAT?!!! How did YOU know I've been using Map to plot my way through challenges?" Bulma says: "BECAUSE both Map and YOU just TOLD me, FATHEAD!!!!" / Bulma says: "Last CHANCE, Dora! Spill it, or Map WILL!" Dora nervously says: "No comprende an Ingles!" / Zarbon says: "You MIGHT have a pretty face. But for what it's worth, I'm not sure if I have seen anyone UGLIER than YOU are, now!" / Dora groans, and she angrily says: "FINE!!!! The $44.44 million was probably DIRTY money anyways!" / Bubble Bass says: "My son DESERVES to grow up in a world, where people DON'T lie and deceive others! He DESERVES better than that!" / Tigress quickly says: "Not in the FACE! Or the neck, ears, nose, waist, or ANYWHERE in the chest area!" / Wally wakes up from his dream, and he says: "Is it POSSIBLE? I'm not sure how to say this, but, I think I'm in LOVE with Future Adult Rube Goldfish!" / Sandy sarcastically says: "Oh SURE! A LITERAL 'Strat-bot!' That will go over WELL with the TV audience!" / Keswick says: "WOW! Treeflower actually ADMITTED she's a little biased! She's making PROGRESS!" / Bubble Bass says: "I guess winning ISN'T always everything! Oh, well. Live and learn, as they say!" / Otto says: "For being a so-called 'Athletic' team, we're surprisingly a LOT smarter than we SHOULD be, which is honestly kind of amazing in itself!" / Otto says to himself: "Muscle memory, PLEASE don't mess with me now!" / Larry says: "They always say that pride always goes BEFORE the fall! I just hope Otto's pride has fallen PRETTY hard, right about now!" / Otto says: "You said MY name THREE times!" Sniz says: "Well, you DID make three mistakes!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! / Otto says: "My SISTER won a season of the Total Cartoon series!" Pearl says: "THAT was your SISTER! You are NOT your sister! She EARNED it; YOU didn't!" /

Bubble Bass says: "YES!!!! Good night's sleep, here I COME!!!!" / Bulma says: "EVEN a VERY great beauty needs her BEAUTY sleep!" Taotie laughs, and he says: "Beauty sleep? You'd have to sleep for like a MONTH to improve on THAT beauty!" / General Barracuda chuckles, and he says: "That's right! Because this challenge is bound to SHIVER YE TIMBERS!" Stimpy looks puzzled, and he asks: "Was THAT even ENGLISH?!" / Treeflower says: "As much as I WANT to win this season, I refuse to have my beauty tarnished anymore than it needs to be!" / Zarbon sighs, he says: "Yeah, I know. I'm a coward, but I'm a LIVE coward!" / Treeflower gasps, and she says: "WAIT! Did I JUST say Daggett was RIGHT?! That's...never happened before! He actually SOUNDED kind of like Norbert!" / Fee says: "Do you mean to say that we've been helping YOU all this time, and you DON'T even respect the two of us, as contestants?" / Bubble Bass says: "Never thought I'd PERSONALLY see the day when ZARBON got nervous! Oh, how the MIGHTY have fallen!" / Zarbon quickly says: "I just want to say that I really, really, REALLY value Bubble Bass' worth to my team and his overall intelligence, and we will be facing the Steps of Knowledge together!" Bubble Bass looks at Zarbon questioningly, and Bubble Bass asks: "Really? Are you THAT desperate to save yourself?" Zarbon gets an Anime sweat drop, and he says: "Uh...pretty much!" Bubble Bass sincerely says: "I'll give you points for honesty." / Pearl says: "Oh, I'm hanging! I'm hanging!" /

Larry looks over to the rest of his team-mates, and he says: "Uh, guys? I DON'T think Pearl will be able to STAND much..." And Pearl falls down TOWARDS Zarbon who just screams: "UGH!!!!" And Pearl lands on TOP of Zarbon with a thud, and Larry awkwardly finishes: "...Longer." / Zarbon laughs maniacally, and he says: "Angry? ANGRY?!!! I'm not angry that Pearl RUINED MY BEAUTY; I'm downright FURIOUS!!!!" / Bubble Bass winces, and he says: "Well, that's ONE way to eliminate TWO contestants!" / Marlene says: "Honestly? I won't miss ZARBON! Super Chum? Eh...I'll miss him as a contestant!" / Daggett is just astounded and he says: "My...plan...worked. It actually WORKED! I am OFFICIALLY no longer STUPID!!!!...I wonder how THAT'S going to change the dynamic between me and Norbert?" / Wally says: "Harvey seems too innocent to pull off Tom Sawyer." / Bulma sarcastically says: "Cool, an atlas worth $25 dollars. I can now RETIRE!" / Kitty says: "I want to get rid of Gerald; he SUCKS at EVERYTHING!" / Bulma rolls her eyes, and says: "I just KNOW I'm going to REGRET this!" / Johnny Krill says: "How does he ALWAYS guess my ideas?" Sniz says: "Your guess is as good as mine!" / Marlene winces, and she says: "Can you...get away with SAYING it like THAT?!" / Sniz says: "You didn't ask!" Spongebob says: "OOH, he's got you THERE, Treeflower!" / Larry says: "Uh...maybe put her in some rice, and dry her out?" Sandy says: "That only works on CELL phones!" / Bulma smiles, and she says: "It's a gift; I'm used to it!" / Gerald says: "Kitty is bold; I'll give her that much! But if she's going to play with fire, she is SO going to get BURNED!" / Buhdeuce says: "If someone DOES try to start something with Jenny, I'm probably the best bet to keep a handle on it! I KNEW someday all my video game skills would be put to good use!" / Daggett says: "I forgot just how DEVIOUS Bulma can get when she's determined! It's a good thing I'm smart NOW; I have a better chance against her!" / Keswick yells: "Focus on a NEW task; NOW!!!!" /

Buhdeuce shakes his head, and he says: "Sorry, Jenny! You're on your own!" / Daggett says: "I may not be a SMART dog, but I know what ROAD KILL is!" / Po, with complete sincerity, says: "I think you better run, while you still have a chance!" / Sandy says: "Jenny, you SHOULD have vouched for a filter!" / Bulma says: "Bye-bye, Jenny! That was QUITE a miscalculation on YOUR part!" / The clips finally end, and the words "Total Cartoon Legends: Performance Review", flies right toward the screen to end the show open! / "Performance Review: The Legend Of The Tiger!" / After the show opens up properly, the camera focuses on Norbert and Eliza Thornberry sitting on couches in a talk show format, with the previously eliminated contestants sitting in the bleachers! Norbert says: "Welcome back to another Performance Review! I'm Norbert Foster Beaver!" Eliza says: "And I'm Eliza Thornberry!" Norbert says: "And here with us, are some of the familiar faces who have been previously voted off, including our in-house band of Sway-Sway, Heffer, and Monster" Sway-Sway says: "Once we've finished perfecting a starter set-list, we're thinking of calling ourselves The Real Breadwinners!" Eliza says: "And I'll be sure to see your VERY first concert!" Norbert says: "In any case, we've got quite a bit to catch up on from LAST time!" Eliza says: "Quite right! We've got quite a FEW eliminated contestants to interview, that I never SUSPECTED we'd interview at THIS point in the competition!" Norbert says: "For starters, we got Squidward Tentacles!" Eliza says: "Dora the Explorer!" Norbert says: "Otto Rocket!" Eliza says: "Dog!" Norbert says: "Zarbon!" Eliza says: "Jenny Wakeman!" Norbert says: "And the contestant NOBODY thought would get eliminated as early as she DID; Tigress!" Eliza says: "Which is why we decided to name this Performance Review, The Legend Of The Tiger!"

Monster asks: "Hey! How come they didn't name a Performance Review after ME?!" Haggis says: "Maybe it's because you got ELIMINATED in the third episode of this season?" Monster says: "Oh, right!" Norbert says: "But before we get to our main event; we've FINALLY gotten someone to interview who we WANTED to interview the last time!" Eliza says: "Technically, we also WANTED to talk to Snaptrap, but he flat-out refused the offer! So, back from his stint as a Temple Guard, here comes Kaput!" And Kaput walks into scattered applause! Kaput asks: "Is that all I get?! I thought I would have a more warm and welcome response than that!" From off-stage, Zim shouts: "What an over-bloated ego!" Kaput says: "Laugh while you can; it will soon be YOUR turn next!" Norbert says: "Thank you, Kaput! Now, before you got eliminated; you said you wanted to become a good guy. Did you really MEAN that?" Kaput says: "Of course I did! I don't want to be stereotyped into the same role all of my life like ZIM does!" Zim shouts: "I heard THAT!" Darwin shouts: "IGNORE him!" Eliza says: "Noted, moving on! In any case, why did you decide to come back as a Temple Guard?" Kaput says: "Look; being a Temple Guard isn't a well-liked role on Legends Of The Hidden Temple, or Total Cartoon Legends, but someone STILL needs to do the job! And since it paid well, I thought that I might as well give it a shot! Of course, as soon as Tigress beat me up, I was OUT of there! At least I'm not a sore loser like Snaptrap was; I think that's WHY he didn't even WANT to come back to be interviewed!" Norbert says: "You're probably right! One more question; now that you're out of the competition, who do you want to win it?" Kaput says: "Any member of the Purple Parrots as LONG as it isn't Bulma! I'm flexible with whatever!" Eliza says: "Very well! Kaput, please take a seat!" And Kaput uses his jet-pack to fly up where Kowalski, Private, and Darwin are! Kowalski says: "I didn't see YOU as a penguin fan!"

Kaput says: "I'd rather be up HERE, where I can see ANYTHING Zim tries to do!" Private says: "Good call!" Norbert says: "Speaking of, it's time to bring out our first two former contestants to be interviewed!" Eliza says: "One was a crazy, unpredictable, completely unstable guy who had delusions of grandeur; the other was Gonard!" Zim says: "Very funny! Let's all LAUGH at the alien!" Norbert says: "In any case, please welcome Zim and Gonard who have just come back from San Diego Comic-Con!" And Zim comes out first, but nobody applauds for him! It isn't until Gonard walks in, that EVERYONE starts applauding! Zim asks: "And what makes YOU so popular?!" Gonard says: "Well, I've got a steady girlfriend! I'm on a POPULAR Nicktoon; and I actually HAVE a sane, likeable personality; unlike you!" Heffer says: "OOH, he's got you THERE; Zim!" Zim yells: "OH, SHUT UP!" Judy says: "If I had a dollar for every time YOU yelled 'Shut Up', I'd have at LEAST $7.7 Million in dollars!" Eliza says: "And in fact, we're NOT going to shut up!" Norbert says: "In fact; just for you, we decided to resurrect an old Performance Review favorite, with a brand NEW twist; Truth Or Tomato!" / A Clip of the Statue of Justice is shown, before it gets "SPLAT"-ted with a tomato! / Eliza says: "Here is how it works. We'll ask you questions, and if you DON'T tell the truth; you'll get splatted with a tomato! Pretty simple, right?" Gonard says: "No worries from me; I plan on being honest during THIS interview!" Kaput says: "Better watch what Zim says; he NEVER tells the truth!" Zim shouts: "That's a LIE!!!! I tell the truth ALL the time!" And Zim gets "SPLAT"-ted with a tomato! Kaput chuckles, and he says: "Zim, he just makes it TOO easy!" Norbert asks: "Here's a question for both of you; where did you think you went wrong during the competition?" Gonard THINKS about it, and he says: "Probably underestimating Squidward's capacity for trying to save his own skin, as well as Zim being trigger happy and BLASTING at everything he DIDN'T look at!" And no tomato's fly Gonard's way! Zim says: "The only way I went wrong, was by being ROBBED!!!!" And Zim gets "SPLAT"-ted with another tomato! Haggis shakes his head, and he says: "Tell THAT to the tomato! The proof is in the pudding!...Or sauce, as the case may be!"

Eliza asks: "If you could say anything to any of the remaining contestants, what would you say?" Gonard THINKS about it, and he says: "I'd just like to say that I hope Bulma's friendship with Yakety turns out to be genuine, and I wish the Orange Iguanas the best of luck in future challenges!" And no tomato's fly Gonard's way! Zim shouts: "I have NOTHING to say to ANYONE!!!!" And Zim gets "SPLAT"-ted with another tomato! Zim yells: "Oh, COME ON!!!! How was THAT one a LIE?!" Sway-Sway says: "You must have wanted to say SOMETHING to SOMEONE; DUH!" Norbert says: "Last question; now that you're out of the game, who do you want to win?" Gonard says: "Probably Dudley or Chameleon, mostly because I got to hang out with them the most in season three." Zim groans, and he says: "FINE! I want Keswick to win the most, because he's the only ACTUAL alien left int the competition!" And no tomato's fly out towards either of them!" Kaput says: "I take it back. Zim actually told the TRUTH...for ONCE!" Eliza says: "Thanks to both of you. Please take a seat." And Zim and Gonard both take a seat on the bottom level! Judy asks: "Any particular reason you're down here with us?" Zim says: "I want to stay as far AWAY from Kaput as I realistically can!" Gonard says: "And I'm not a fan of climbing bleachers!" Norbert says: "Now, for anyone expecting to see Dora or Super Chum interviewed; I must regretfully say that Dora has been grounded by her parents until she's 18, and is not allowed to do ANY interviews until that time!" Eliza says: "And Super Chum is still sailing the Pacific Ocean, cleaning up garbage patches, so it will be quite some time before we can interview him." Norbert says: "In the mean-time, let us interview a contestant who got eliminated in the same episode as Super Chum!"

Eliza says: "Some people saw him as eye candy and a gorgeous hunk of a man!" Norbert saws: "Others saw him as a vain, narcissistic man obsessed with his beauty." Eliza says: "Either way, you would have been right! Back from extensive therapy and Fairy Godparent healing, please give it up for Zarbon!" Zarbon walks onstage with his beauty COMPLETELY restored, and the audience LOUDLY cheering from him! Zarbon says: "They LIKE me! They REALLY like me! I've STILL got it!" Blonda, from off-stage, shouts: "I'll say! Usually, you have to pay EXTRA for that!" Norbert says: "We'll get to you LATER, Blonda!" Blonda groans, and she says: "Oh, all right!" Zarbon takes a seat, and Eliza says: "Welcome to the Performance Review. The last time you were here; it kind of turned into a...Roast of Bulma Briefs, so to speak. I don't feel like we got to know the REAL you! So tell us, just who WAS Zarbon as a contestant?" Kaput says: "Just be careful of the tomato's if you lie!" Norbert sarcastically says: "Thanks for the SPOILER, Kaput!" Kaput says: "I'm TRYING to be GOOD; remember?!" Eliza says: "You can't argue with him on THAT point!" Zarbon says: "Well, I don't WANT to be hit by a tomato! Very well; ask away!" Norbert asks: "With all the skills at your disposal; how come you didn't use more of them?" Zarbon says: "Well, the last time I used my skills, Bulma took complete advantage of me, and USED me to eliminate contestants right and left! I didn't want to fall into THAT trap this time; but I guess I over-corrected that problem! Instead of using my skills too often, I didn't use them enough!" And no tomato's come flying Zarbon's way! Zim asks: "How come HE didn't get hit with a tomato?" Gonard says: "Because he's ACTUALLY smart; unlike YOU!" Monster says: "OOH, BURN!!!!"

Eliza asks: "Knowing what you know now; is there anything you would've done differently in the game?" Zarbon says: "For starters; I wouldn't have eliminated Kowalski and Gonard! With their intelligence and first hand knowledge of Bulma respectively, they probably could've helped me to AVOID being eliminated by Bulma!" And no tomato's fly Zarbon's way! Kowalski says: "It's true! My statistical analysis would've been an invaluable help towards Zarbon's safety, if for no other reason than I ALSO want to see Bulma eliminated!" Gonard says: "I don't know how much help I would've been; but I still would've done my best anyways!" Norbert asks: "Last question; who do you want to win the game now?" Zarbon says: "That's a TOUGHIE! I guess I'd have to pick Chameleon! He might not have looks, but I would STILL want him to beat Bulma, if for no other reason than he outlasted her in season three!" And no tomato's fly Zarbon's way! Private says: "Ooh! Pretty AND honest! Usually, you'd have to pay EXTRA for that!" Eliza says: "Thank you, Zarbon! Please take a seat!" And Zarbon takes a seat second from the top in the bleachers! Norbert says: "We got to take a short break now; but don't go away! Because we'll be right back with more of this Performance Review, on Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / After the commercials end, Eliza says: "Welcome back to the Performance Review!" Norbert says: "Now, Blonda and Squidward WERE supposed to be our next two contestants to be interviewed." Eliza says: "However, Squidward was catapulted into the national spotlight after a successful clarinet performance at the Sea World in Vallejo, California; with Blonda acting as his manager." Norbert says: "As such, Blonda has booked Squidward a successful national tour across the United States, and they were unable to make an appearance here in person." Eliza says: "However, we were able to film a Zoom interview recently, while they were in Salt Lake City, Utah; and we will show you the interview right now!" /

It switches to previously recorded footage, of a four square split screen, on a gigantic computer monitor, showing Norbert in the top left corner, Eliza in the top right corner, Blonda in the bottom left corner, and Squidward in the bottom right corner. Norbert says: "Thank you for being able to talk with us about your contestant experience!" Squidward talks, but we can't hear anything. Eliza says: "You're on MUTE!!!!" Squidward's noise comes in, and he says: "Why does it ALWAYS default to 'Mute' whenever I try this thing?!" Blonda says: "Probably because you're not an expert at technology, like I am!" Norbert says: "Just ignore her, Squidward! Look, we want to hear your honest thoughts about what being a contestant was like!" Blonda says: "Honestly; it would've been a LOT better if I had been able to successfully eliminate BULMA, or even DORA, for that matter! I'm just glad the future version of my son, Rube; was able to step up to the plate, and prove MY innocence in stealing Squidward's clarinet! That is something I would've NEVER done, and will NEVER do, especially since his clarinet playing will help ME earn 10% of whatever he makes at concert venues, including the merchandise! I'm NOT going to be one of THOSE managers who tries to SQUEEZE their client for everything they have, just because they can! I want to set a GOOD example for my son!" Eliza says: "Duly noted. Squidward; how about you?" Squidward says: "I REALLY wish that I had known from the BEGINNING what my real reason for initially for NOT liking Spongebob was, and the fact that it stemmed from my dad. I should've also known that Spongebob NEVER intentionally meant to make my life miserable, and not ALL of my misfortunes were HIS fault! If I had been able to accept that sooner; and if I had been more flexible, I might still be IN the competition! But at least, I have FINALLY accomplished my dream, and I think that's because I DID apologize to Spongebob and his friends!"

Norbert says: "You're probably right! If there's anything you could say to the remaining contestants, what would you say?" Blonda says: "I'd like to tell my husband Bubble Bass, that you're doing a really great job keeping our infant son safe! And to Future Adult Rube? I'd like to tell him, I'm...sorry for over-reacting to the truth he told me. It really ISN'T a big of a deal as I made it out to be, and I want Rube to look HOWEVER he wants to look!" Eliza says: "We'll be sure to send that message to him!" Squidward says: "I'd just like to say that I hope someone from one of the shows that I star on, wins! Even if it IS Spongebob Squarepants, I will still be fully accepting, and congratulatory of the win!" Norbert says: "One last question. Now that you are out of the challenge, who do you most want to win?" Blonda says: "If Bubble Bass can't win again, I'd have to give my support to Future Rube!" Squidward says: "Ideally, Sandy or Pearl. But I'll STILL support anyone else from my show otherwise." Eliza says: "Thank you for you time." / And the filmed footage ends, and switches back to the Studio. Norbert says: "Hopefully, if all goes well, Blonda and Squidward will be back her in person, in time for the last Performance Review of this season!" Eliza says: "Our next two contestants, are an extreme, athletic bad boy; and the former co-champion of Total Cartoon Action; give it up for Otto and Dog!" And Otto skateboards into the stage, while Dog just walks onstage, waving hi to everyone! Norbert says: "Welcome to the Performance Review!" Otto scoffs, and he says: "UGH!" Eliza says: "Really; is that ALL you have to say? Pretty much everyone else WANTS to talk about their experience!"

Otto says: "There is NOTHING to talk about!" And a tomato hits Otto with a "SPLAT!" Dog says: "You brought back the Truth game?" Kaput says: "They brought back the Truth game!" Norbert says: "So, there is OBVIOUSLY something you WANT to talk about!" Otto THINKS about it as he wipes off the tomato, and he says: "Okay, FINE!!!! I don't think I should be here THIS early! I was a Final Three contestant in season one; Aang HIJACKED my chance to win in season two; I was de-railed in season three FIRST by singing, than by my crazy ex-girlfriend Angelica Pickles; and now, I can't even make it to the team merge BECAUSE my fellow team-mates don't think I'm a team player!" And surprisingly, no tomato's fly at Otto! Zarbon says: "That was...quite a BIT to talk about, for someone who CLAIMED there was nothing to talk about!" Dog says: "The only thing that I want to say, is that if I had stayed on, my canine instincts would've kicked activated, in order to keep Kitty Katswell from TRYING to mess with Jenny Wakeman's ability to compete in the competition!" From off-screen, Jenny says: "Thank you!" Dog says: "You're welcome! Can't wait to hear what YOU have to say!" Eliza says: "Is there anything you WANT to say to the remaining contestants?" Otto thinks about it, and he says: "Well, just one thing! Sandy should REALLY try to eliminate Larry first! I mean, Larry engineered HER elimination in season two! What's to stop him from trying it again?!" Dog says: "I just want to say to the remaining Green Monkeys and Orange Iguanas, that no matter what happens; I hope they're all able to stay on friendly terms with each other!" Norbert says: "One last question; is there anyone you would WANT to win the competition?" Otto says: "Obviously, Buhdeuce! Anyone who can BEAT Tigress is okay in MY book!" Tigress, from off-screen, screams: "I HEARD that!" Sway-Sway shouts: "You'll get your turn soon enough!" Dog says: "I have to go with Dudley, and support my fellow canine in the competition!" Eliza says: "Thank you for your answers! You may take a seat!" Otto and Dog both take a seat second from the top, with Zarbon!

Zarbon asks: "Did you HAVE to sit so close to me?" Otto says: "What's the matter? Afraid of catching some EARTH disease?!" Zarbon says: "Of course not! I just value my PERSONAL space!" Norbert says: "Now, we were UNSURE whether to interview these next two contestants together; mostly because ONE indirectly CAUSED the elimination of the other, and the fact that ONE of them said a word that should NEVER be said under ANY circumstances!" Eliza says: "However, Jenny's mom gave her a tune-up and an upgrade with a filter, and that word has been COMPLETELY exorcised from her vocabulary! So, please give it up for Kitty and Jenny!" Jenny flies in to thunderous applause, while off-screen; Kitty says: "I'm not going out there with HER; you can't MAKE me!" Tigress yells: "Oh, yes, I CAN!!!!" And Tigress LITERALLY kicks Kitty onto the couch, where the audience promptly "BOO'S" her! Kitty says: "Great! Now I know how Snaptrap feels on a daily basis! It feels AWFUL!" Jenny says: "Well, thanks to my new ability to simulate emotions, such as the 'Calm' emotion; you will be happy to know that I will NOT try to kill you!" Kitty breathes a sigh of relief, and she says: "Thank you; I feel SO much better!" But Jenny adds: "But don't EVER try to engineer an elimination against me EVER again!" Kitty says: "I highly DOUBT either of us will manage to make it onto the SHOW again, but I'll STILL be sure to keep that in mind!" Norbert says: "Here is the first question I'm going to ask of both of you; what was going on through your minds during your last challenge as contestants?" Jenny says: "I can't talk about it!" Zim asks: "Can't, or won't?" Jenny says: "BOTH! Either/or! Part of the process of my mom installing my filter and upgrading me, forced her to wipe any memories of the incident where I SAID the word that I LITERALLY can no longer say! It was mostly a precaution on my mom's part!"

Monster says: "I certainly wouldn't have argued against it!" Eliza says: "Fair enough! Kitty, how about you?" Kitty says: "First off, I have no idea how Tigress could've been so CALM about the prospect of HER getting eliminated! I was on EDGE during the last challenge I was a contestant, and I played as hard as I could to KEEP myself from being eliminated, but I STILL had to quit ANYWAYS!" Darwin asks: "Did you ever think that you were TRYING too hard?!" Jenny says: "It's hard for ME to try harder than my built-in limits! If I try to exceed them, I LITERALLY run the risk of having a 'Heroic B.S.O.D.'!" Kitty says: "And I don't understand how Dudley, Keswick, and Chameleon seem to do it. They HARDLY seem to have been trying this season; and yet, they are STILL in the competition easily! What gives?" Gonard says: "Maybe it has to do with their attitude and demeanor! Maybe the reason they ARE doing so well, is BECAUSE they're not worried about it! After all, regardless of what seems to happen, they seem to be on good terms with most of the contestants, and seem to be having fun! Maybe because YOU didn't, maybe that's why you got eliminated when you did!" Dog says: "That was...surprisingly eloquent, Gonard!" Gonard says: "Hey! I had to learn SOMETHING from all those seasons of listening to Mitsuki speak!" Norbert says: "In any case, is there ANYTHING you would like to say to any of the remaining contestants?" Jenny says: "I would just like to say that I'm honestly sorry if I offended anyone, especially Gerald, General Barracuda, and the surviving Jackson siblings! Also, if I ever get a chance to be on this show again, I'll be able to express a WIDER set of emotions, due to my new personality simulator!" Eliza says: "Duly noted. Kitty, how about you?"

Kitty says: "Only that I NEVER meant to embroil the Purple Parrots in MY misguided plot to try to eliminate Jenny or Gerald. That was...selfish and egotistical on my part. And I...plan on doing my best, to NEVER get into another situation like that again! Since I can't predict the future, that's the best I can honestly promise!" Norbert says: "Fair enough. One last question; now that you're eliminated, who do you want to win the competition?" Jenny says: "It's got to be Sandy. Other than Bulma, she's the smartest contestant LEFT in the game!" Kitty says: "It's got to be Dudley, Keswick, or even Chameleon! I would FULLY support ANY of them winning the competition!" Eliza says: "Thank you for your answers! Please take a seat!" Jenny takes a seat second from the bottom, while Kitty takes a seat second from the top! Zarbon says: "Now YOU have a face I don't MIND seeing!" Kitty says: "Don't get ANY funny ideas; I'm technically SPOKEN for with Dudley!" Zarbon snaps his fingers, and says: "Darn it!" Norbert says: "And now, the moment you have ALL been waiting for! The Kung-Fu Champion, the martial arts expert, the Queen of Pain, and a lady with an ego SO big, it BARELY fits inside this studio; deserving only the BEST of welcomes, please give it up for The Real Breadwinners, as they play a live version of Ride The Tiger, to introduce; TIGRESS!!!!" / As Tigress walks into an exploding fire-works display, a montage of ALL of Tigress' great moments from her movies, her own show, and the "Total Cartoon" series, play on the TV monitors in the room, as The Real Breadwinners sing a live version of "Ride The Tiger"! /

Sway-Sway sings: "I want to ride, ride the tiger! I want to ride, ride the tiger! It will be black and white in the dead of night! Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight! I want to ride, ride the tiger! It's like a tear in the hands of a western man, who will tell you about salt, carbon and water. But a tear to a Chinese man; he'll tell you about sadness and sorrow, or the love of a man and a woman. I want to ride, ride the tiger! I want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you, and you and you! We got something to learn from the other side! Something to give, we got nothing to hide! I want to ride, ride the tiger! (Instrumental Break) Black wants out of the streets; Yellow wants the country. Red wants the country back; and White wants out of this world! Sing; sing to the sky! Sing; sing to the sky! I want to ride, ride the tiger! I want to ride, ride the tiger! Look to the summer of 2025! All of the world is gonna come alive! Do you want to ride, ride the tiger?! It's like a tear in the hands of a western man, who will tell you about salt, carbon and water. But a tear to an Oriental man; he'll tell you about sadness and sorrow; or the love of a man and a woman. It's like a tear, it's like love! It's like a tear, it's like love! Do you want to ride; ride the tiger?! (Instrumental Break) I want to ride!" (Instrumental Finish, as the clips and the performance ends!) / The audience applauds loudly, and Tigress says: "Hmm, not the song that I would've necessarily chosen to represent me; but still a good song, all the same!" Eliza says: "It's good to have you here; Tigress! Now the first time you were eliminated in Total Cartoon Global Cruise; we ended up doing the 100th Episode Celebration, and I don't feel like we really got to know you that well as a result." Norbert says: "And the last time you were eliminated, it was after the ONLY Performance Review of Total Cartoon Island Strikes Back; so we weren't able to interview you!" Tigress says: "Yes. And I suppose; as a matter of formality, you'll WANT me to answer some of your questions?"

Judy says: "That IS the general idea of these episodes!" Kitty says: "Just make sure to watch out for flying tomato's! Tigress scoffs, and she says: "Is THAT all I have to worry about?! Do you REMEMBER the kinds of threats that I faced on a daily basis of Kung Fu Panda: Legends Of Awesomeness? Flying tomato's will be a PICNIC!" And surprisingly, no tomato's fly at her! Heffer says: "Technically speaking, that ISN'T a lie from HER perspective!" Haggis rolls his eyes, and sarcastically says: "Thank you, Captain Obvious!" Eliza says: "In any case, what was going through your mind, as you were on your crusade to eliminate as MANY contestants as you could?" Zarbon asks: "Kind of a HARSH question; don't you THINK?" Kaput says: "You're ONLY saying that, because she DIDN'T get a chance to eliminate YOU!" Zarbon says: "Irrelevant!" Tigress says: "Look; I made a LOT of...misguided decisions! I was SO desperate to try to prove that I was better at my father in everything, I completely lost sight of what was REALLY important! Trying to make lasting friendships, and being a good team-player! I almost LOST everything I valued! And...it wasn't until recently, that I feel like I FINALLY found a sense of what I've been looking for, after such a long time." Otto asks: "And what exactly HAVE you found?" Tigress coyly smiles, and she says: "In between Total Cartoon Island Strikes Back and Total Cartoon Legends; Po and I secretly got MARRIED! We planned to announce it AFTER I won THIS season; but...due to certain DEVELOPMENTS, I needed to say that NOW, before I say what I'm going to say next!" Dog asks: "What are you going to say next?!" Po's face appears on the TV screen, and he asks: "What do you NEED to say?!" Tigress asks: "PO?!"

Norbert says: "Oh, we had a FEELING you had something important to announce, so we patched in a camera in Po's trailer, so he could listen into the announcement!" Po says: "Did you tell them we were married?!" Tigress chuckles, and she says: "Yes! But more importantly...I'm PREGNANT!!!!" Po loudly yells: "YES!" Tigress says: "And you know what the ultrasound showed? We're gonna have FOUR Tiger Pandas!!!!" Po loudly screams: "YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Zim looks at everyone ELSE'S stunned expressions, and he asks: "WHAT?! Am I LITERALLY the ONLY contestant who saw THAT coming from a MILE away?! It was SO super predictable!" Private says: "Well, you were the only one HERE; that's for sure!" Tigress says: "So anyways; I thought I could do a little spring cleaning; donate MOST of the medals that don't MEAN anything to me, to charities and museums, in order to buy/build a brand new abode for Po and I, and our four little tiger cubs to live in!" Kowalski says: "Wow! I am really HAPPY for you, Tigress!" Po says: "And I'm SO excited! I am DEFINITELY going to try to win this season now, and make a legacy that WE can be proud of!" Tigress chuckles, and she says: "You already HAVE, Po! You already have!" Po says: "I wish I could chat longer, but I got to be focused for the next challenge!" Tigress says: "Understandable! I'll see you at the finale! I love you!" Po says: "I love, love, love, love you to! Bye!" And the TV monitor turns off!

Eliza says: "In any case; Tigress, do you WANT Po to win the competition?" Tigress says: "It would certainly be nice. But, anything between fourth and second place would be fine to; they have money rewards to." Norbert says: "Good to know! Eliza, has your mind changed about who YOU want to win as a contestant?" Eliza says: "Well, Spongebob, Buhdeuce, Wally, and Future Rube are all starting to look like the more LIKELY candidates to make it to the Final Five! But the contestants that I'm surprised that are STILL in this thing; are Treeflower and Daggett!" Norbert says: "No kidding! Well...I'm NOT surprised by Treeflower. But Daggett?! He...has ACTUALLY been sounding SMART the last couple of episodes! I mean, one of HIS ideas actually worked! I mean, he might actually be ABLE to outlast Treeflower in a competition all by himself! I'm...not sure what to make of that." Tigress asks: "What do you mean by THAT?!" Norbert says: "Well...I've always been USED to being the one SMART beaver brother that DAGGETT has! But...now Daggett seems to want to be smart, to! And he's actually SUCCEEDING at it! What does THAT leave ME?!" Zarbon says: "If it's ANY consolation, you will at LEAST probably ALWAYS be the one HANDSOME beaver brother that DAGGETT has!" Norbert THINKS about it, and he says: "You're probably right! Anyways, my choices haven't changed. Ideally, I'd want Treeflower to win; but I'll support Daggett if he sticks around longer!" Eliza says: "That's it for our Performance Review this time; but be sure to stick around for the next episode, as it will be MORE Total Cartoon Legend goodness, filled with ANOTHER exciting episode; another exciting legend, and two MORE contestant eliminations!" Norbert says: "I'm Norbert!" Eliza says: "And I'm Eliza!" Tigress says: "And THIS has been Total Cartoon Legends Performance Review; Legend of the TIGER!! I've always WANTED to get the last word in!" /

Episode Notes: Sway-Sway, Heffer, and Buhdeuce, now have an official band name, and they are calling themselves "The Real Breadwinners". They even sing a live version of Jefferson Starship's "Ride The Tiger". True to Dora's prediction, her parents HAVE grounded her until she turns 18! Jenny can now BETTER simulate emotions, and has a filter, to prevent her from EVER making a vocabulary faux pas again! Tigress is revealed to be married to Po, and she is now pregnant, with four tiger pandas on the way! Personal Notes: This Performance Review was an opportunity to reveal how some contestants' lives have changed for the better; while for others, it was an opportunity to ask for, and to give forgiveness to those they needed to give it to. I personally think the world would be a much better place, if we could learn to forgive others for any mistakes they have made, without being judgmental about it. That doesn't mean we have to be OKAY with EVERY wrong thing that has ever been done in history, but we shouldn't automatically judge something, BEFORE we have all the facts! I hope you enjoyed reading this episode, as much as I did writing it! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

I just wanted everyone to know that I haven't forgotten about "Power Rangers Multiverse Force"; I'm planning to write as much as I can, and get back to it soon. For now, please enjoy the last completed episode. /

(Cold Open)
Words flash on the screen, and they say, "New York City, December 31, 1979; 3:27 P.M."
A fancy, pinkish-white limo is seen riding around, all while Blondie's "Heart Of Glass" plays on the car radio. Although we don't see the driver, we get to see the prominent, actual OWNER of the limo, a pretty, curly red-haired woman in her early twenties.
Blondie sings: "Once I had a love and it was a gas. Soon turned out, had a heart of glass. Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust, love's gone behind. Once I had a love and it was divine. Soon found out, I was losing my mind. It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind. Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind. In between, what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine. Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind. If I fear I'm losing you, it's just no good; you teasing like you do."
The driver suddenly turns down the radio, and the woman says: "Come on, turn the radio back up, I like that song!"
The driver suddenly speaks, with a HEAVY Japanese accent, and he says: "Come on, Diane Martin. I don't get why you want ME to drive you around like this! It's positively DEGRADING to me!"
Diane says: "Don't give me that, Dan Masao! Do you know how LUCKY you are to get a job working for me and MY high-class service?! Most Japanese people in your position would be running over each other for that kind of work, especially considering the current climate of high unemployment and high gas prices? Last time I checked, oil prices, and this is just for price of oil per barrel, mind you, were still $12 a barrel!"
Dan says: "Don't get me wrong! It's not that I don't appreciate you giving ME a job during these trying times; I just don't get why YOU have to be the one calling the shots! I'm the one who's SUPPOSED to be the leader of this whole thing!"
Diane says: "Come on! Do you REALLY think that the American people of THIS generation will ACCEPT a Japanese person in charge for ANYTHING? My father, before he got murdered, couldn't even help Shirley Chisolm achieve 152 candidates during her 1972 run for President, and he tried harder than anybody except Shirley Chisholm herself! I KNOW this is not your ideal job, but you got to think about the big picture; you got to pave the way for people like yourself in the future, to do better, and be better than you are. It's how people have advanced for years. It's the secret to the success of MY family, and will SOMEDAY be the secret to YOURS!"
Dan sighs, and says: "You're probably right, Diane; you usually are. We're almost at our destination. We'll soon meet the others."
Dan and Diane pull up right in front of Studio 54. Dan passes the car keys to a five foot, eight inch, long green haired man with IMPOSSIBLY tacky clothes (although they don't see it as such, given the current time); and Diane says: "My good man, please park this limosuine for me in the V.I.P. section for the Studio 54 cars."
The green haired man says: "But I'm not really--."
Diane merely says in a commanding voice: "NOW."
And the green haired man, deciding it's not worth it to argue with such a rich woman, takes the limo, and jerkedly begins to drive it to where it will be parked. Dan asks: "Is he going to be okay?"
Diane says: "My CAR better be okay! If it's not, I'll have the manager, Steve Rubell, dock his pay for reckless driving!"
Dan says: "Relax, Diane. Our fellow, 'Delegates', will soon be here."
And sure enough, there walks up a dark-skinned woman, wearing traditional, full-bodied clothes from Kenya; a stereotypical Russian person, wearing a big furred hat, walking rather oddly, as though he had just gotten through a vendor; and a rather pompous looking French man, who you wouldn't be ABLE to tell WAS French, except for the fact that he was PROUDLY touching a lapel pin on his shirt which just HAPPENED to be in the shape of France's flag! Diane SLAPS the Russian person in his face, and it seems to straighten him up! Diane says: "Come on Ken...Ken...your first name is WAY too complicated for me to pronounce! I'm just going to call you Ken Shiraishi! In any case, just because the people of America EXPECT you to behave in a certain way for what will STILL be 1979 for roughly the next eight hours, that doesn't MEAN you have to hit every single ONE of those stereotypes! I want our group to be BETTER than that!"
Ken, speaking like Yakov Smirnoff (even though he himself had only BEEN in America for two years and hadn't become famous yet), says in a Russian accent: "Oh, is that all I am to you? A drinker who drinks away his cares and worries, and also enjoys a little Caviar on the side? I'll have you know I have a doctorate in science, and I am GREAT in playing Pachinko!"
Diane rolls her eyes, and sarcastically says: "What a great fact! MY SYMPATHIES!!!!"
Ken turns to the dark-skinned woman, and he asks: "Is she being sarcastic with me? I can't tell with most Americans."
The woman says: "First of all, I'd say probably yes. Secondly, and far MORE importantly, I have a name, Shiro Akebano. Why don't you put that in your rolodex, first invented in 1956 by Danish engineer Hildaur Neilsen and first marketed in 1958?"
The French man, with a sterotypical French accent, says: "OY! We got a GENIUS on our group!"
Shiro says: "Well, SOMEBODY has to be, Dash Drew, noted beautician, playboy, Flamenco dancer, and SINCE this is STILL 1979, DANDY who likes to eat Escargot!"
Dash says: "OY! We got a living encyclopedia research expert for our team as well!"
Diane slowly face-palms her face in frustration and says to Dan: "Is this...really the BEST that General Kurama could find?"
Dan says: "Given the fact that the murderer of your father is LITERALLY a blue-skinned alien named Egos SATAN, who can make monsters with some kind of a monster-making machine, I would say that the Chief Special Science Officer of the National Defense Ministry did a FANTASTIC job of locating us and recruiting us, briefing us, AND training us in 72 hours!"
Diane, puzzled, asks: "Chief Special Science Officer of the National Defense Ministry? Is THAT what America is calling a glorified publicity stunt at trying to put minorities into top positions? I expect THAT to fly well with the Southern states on the twelfth of...NEVER!"
Dan says: "General Kurama is an EXPERT at Japanese swordsmanship, and he built this GREAT robot mynah bird named Kyutaro. I ought to show you it someday."
Diane says: "I'll be sure to take you up on your offer...someday. Anyways, General Kurama says that since we need to keep this mission an undercover operation secret from the public, lest they freak out, we need to make our headquarters in this place."
Shiro says: "Why this place? Why not go somewhere that's more easily accessible?"
Diane says: "We have to go somewhere, where NO monsters can access it! And this, is the perfect place! Studio 54; nobody gets in, or OUT, unless they're somebody! And I'm the biggest SOMEBODY in New York City there is! Watch!"
She turns to the big, burly security guards, and she says: "Diane Martin!"
They point their guns at the OTHER people, and she says: "And guests."
And they lower their guns and motion for them to go in. Dan says: "I got to admit, I'm impressed!"
Diane chuckles, and she says: "Wait until you see the gear we've got! You aren't anywhere NEAR to being impressed, yet!" /
Back To The 1980's: Part I, Parallel Lives
After the episode opens up properly, words flash on the screen, and they say: "Coastal Falls, California. Present Day, April 1st, 2179, 3:57 P.M."
A worn-down, weathered, faded pinkish, white limosuine, is seen driving around, with the car playing a VERY worn out, distorted cassette of Blondie's "Heart Of Glass".
Blondie sings (very warped): "Once I had a love and it was a gas. Soon turned out, had a heart of glass. Seemed like the real thing, only to find, mucho mistrust, love's gone behind. Lost inside, adorable illusion and I cannot hide. I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah."
The driver of this limosuine ejects the cassette out of the player, and a middle-aged, sixty years old woman, with faded, curly hair, asks: "Why did you eject the cassette? It doesn't sound THAT bad!"
A weathered man, with a Japanese (but FAR less noticeable) accent, says: "Of COURSE you don't think it's bad, Diane Martin! You don't think ANYTHING about this car is bad! This, despite the fact that for 41 years, we haven't seen ANY source of action, NO one knows of the heroic deeds WE did! We LOST Ken Shirashi when he was KILLED, and yet you STILL believe that Egos Satan is STILL somehow alive, despite the fact that WE confirmed that we blew UP his body, with the Lightning Sword, Rocket Mode!"
Diane says: "Cut me some slack, Dan! I wasn't WITH you when the battle happened, remember? I was WOUNDED by Ego Dracula very, VERY, BADLY, forcing you to replace me with that Maria woman. Whatever happened to her anyways?"
Dan says: "You're getting me to tell you about the old battles again. Well, when we battled Egos Satan, Maria wanted to be the one who personally finished off Egos Satan, in order to avenge YOU being taken out of comission, as well as Ken's death! But when she fired the shot, Egos Satan EXPLODED into a ball of light, blinding all of us! When the light dissipated, both Maria and Egos Satan had disappeared! We never found a TRACE of either of their bodies!"
Diane says: "So, that just PROVES the possibility that either one of them is still alive!"
Dan says: "What I don't understand is, why have we gotten a call, to come to a place called Coastal Falls, 158 years into the future, no less, for employment now?!"
Diane says: "I got a call from SOMEONE who calls herself Queen Hedrian. She said something about wanting to put our little 'Band', back together, and she says she needs OUR help to make it possible!"
Dan, puzzled, says: "Our little, 'Band'? Is THAT what they're calling us now? And why am I STILL driving you? You STILL passed your LAST Driver's Test!"
Diane coyly says: "Because I'm paying YOU $2 Million a month for every month you drive me anywhere and everywhere WE need to go to safely!"
Dan smiles, and he says: "Fair enough!"
They drive up to the facade of a Command Center, park, and Dan says: "We're here, wherever 'Here', is."
Alpha 8 walks up to them, and he says: "Oh, goody! You made it! Omnus will be SO thrilled!"
A middle-aged, African woman, walks up to the robot, examines him, and says: "Amazing! A fully-functional, automaton! They've REALLY made advances since General Kurama built Kyutaro!"
Diane says: "Shiro, is that YOU?!"
The woman lightens up, and she says: "Diane! You recognized me!"
They hug each other in friendly embrace, and Shiro says: "I thought I'd never see you again!"
Diane says: "Well, it was only thanks to you that I was able to survive the attack from Egos Dracula, I still owed you one.
A Middle-aged man walks up, with a less obvious, less pompous French accent, says: "Is there no recognition for YOUR former husband, Diane Martin?"
Diane says: "Dash Drew, I always KNEW someday, you'd darken up MY limosuine again? Are you STILL carousing with any woman who will give you the time of day, or have you given that up?"
Dash says: "Why, looking for a date?"
Diane says: "With ANYONE but you!"
Dash says: "I give you a daughter, Sydney Drew, I let you KEEP your own last name, I let her keep HER own last name, I help you to groom her to become a force for good JUST like her mother, and this is the thanks I get?"
Diane says: "You know for a fact that the only reason why YOU'RE here, is because Queen Hedrian wanted ALL of us! Speaking of which, where is Jim Makoto, Ken's replacement? He should be here."
And as if on cue, a grizzled, middle-aged, Japanese-American cowboy shows up. Diane says: "So, you're Jim! Glad to finally meet you!"
Diane holds out her hand, but Jim doesn't touch it, or even say anything. Diane says: "Hmmm, not much of a talker, is he?"
Dan says: "He's...a man of action, not words! But, if it wasn't for his trumpet playing, Egos Satan would've NEVER been distracted long enough for us to get the finishing blow on him!"
Alpha 8 says: "Actually, that's WHY Queen Hedrian has CALLED you here! Apparently, she needs to discuss something with you, because, it seems that there might be some 'Unfinished Business' in regards to Egos Satan."
Shiro says: "What kind of unfinished business?"
Alpha 8 says: "Egos Satan had a son. His name is Radiguet, and he's married a brainwashed Maria! He's VERY dangerous! And even though Egos Satan has not been heard from since YOUR battle against him, Queen Hedrian has reason to believe that Egos Satan may still be influencing his son, somehow, from behind the scenes somewhere!"
Dash says: "Wait! You know WHAT we DID?!"
Alpha 8 says: "More than that, we know WHAT you did! We KNOW you were one of the FIRST teams of Power Rangers!"
Diane says: "One of the FIRST?! You mean, there's MORE than us?!"
Alpha 8 says: "You haven't even BEGUN to scratch the surface! But first, I must advise you, I know you've come a long way, but Earth has CHANGED from what you know it. That's why I came out first, to acclimate you to what you're about to see! You have to promise me that you won't freak out!"
Diane and the others look at each other seriously, and she says: "Listen, Alpha 8. Dan and the rest of us have been around the block more than once, okay? There's NOTHING you could show us that would make us FREAK out!"
Alpha 8 chuckles nervously, and he says: "Okay. Omnus, warp us in."
And they all warp into the Power Chamber. Upon being 'Plopped' in, the veteran Rangers pick themselves up, and look in utter amazement, at how FAT technology has come since that late afternoon, of 1979. Shiro gasps, and she says: "I don't believe it! This is amazing! I...I never would've thought that my contributions to NASADA would push technology this far!"
Queen Hedrian walks in, still wearing traditional 1981 attire! Queen Hedrian says: "You're here! I guess that means, you WANT to get 'Burning Up' again!"
Jim seriously asks: "WHAT?!!!"
Dan says: "So you CAN talk! And all this time, we thought you were a mute...not that there's anything WRONG with that!!"
Shiro says: "Well, of COURSE Jim can talk...IF there's anyone WORTH talking to...or ABOUT!"
Queen Hedrian chuckles, and she says: "Sorry! Little inside joke! I guess you kind of had to be there!"
Dash asks: "Be WHERE?"
Omnus appears, and says: "Not 'Where', 'When'."
Diane says: "Okay, this is getting weirder by the minute."
Queen Hedrian says: "I told you to WAIT! You may not be SHOCKING to anyone in THIS day, but think of how JARRING your appearance is, to someone who's standard of weird is late 1970's, early 1980's? Why do you think I WORE this tacky outfit from my 'Glory' days? Certainly NOT because there was a convention in town!"
Omnus says: "Forgive my startling appearance. And you are right, Queen Hedrian. Perhaps my appearance might be a little much. I hope that two of OUR Rangers can help put you MORE at ease! Naruto and Usagi, you can come out now."
And Naruto and Usagi walk out. Usagi says: "Hello, Diane Martin! It's SO nice to finally meet you in person, after having only READ about you, and viewed your archive battles via the Viewing Globe!"
Shiro says: "You mean, there WAS evidence of our battles?!"
Omnus says: "The Viewing Globe is a magical device! It can patch into any orbiting satellite system, specifically zoom in onto any monster threat, and report/record it back to us!"
Shiro says: "That's SO cool!"
Dan says: "So, Naruto, I see you're wearing Red. I guess that makes you the current Red Ranger!"
Naruto says: "You are correct, and I am 100% Japanese, large, and in charge!"
Dan says: "AWESOME! I guess 'Positive Affirmation' worked out after all!"
Usagi says: "Naruto, have you forgotten WHO currently leads the Rangers?!"
Naruto groans, and says: "Sorry...BOSS!!!!"
Dash says: "Or NOT! I guess the MORE things change, the more things stay the same!"
Alpha 8 nervously says: "Well, NOT exactly! Call in the rest of the Rangers!"
Omnus says: "All right. The rest of you, come out."
And the other Power Rangers come out. First Lettuce, than Pinkie, than BlackHawk, than StarHawk, than FireHawk! Diane says: "Well, I KNEW Sydney Drew said SOMETHING about some 'S.P.D.' Program doing something regarding genetic engineering and the like, but I never imagined something like THIS would occur!"
Lettuce says: "We're NOT genetic experiments! We have been called from the vast reaches of the Multiverse itself!"
Shiro says: "The Multiverse?! So there IS more than one! My theory was correct!"
Pinkie says: "In more ways than one! Say hello to the Thunder Rangers!"
And the Thunder Rangers come out! First Patsy, than Samson, than Krash'ir, than Coop, than D.O.G.! Shiro says: "D.O.G.! I remember you! You were the first project I ever worked on! I never imagined that you would be improved THIS much!"
D.O.G. says: "About that, it's kind of a LONG story!"
A familiar voice says: "And you can't mention it without me."
And in walks Captain Retro. Captain Retro cheerfully shouts: "Hello!"
 D.O.G. says: "Of course! Shiro, this is my younger half-brother, Captain Retro! It was his idea to call you here! You see, he keeps track of all Power Ranger history; publicly known or otherwise, and he keeps a watchful eye on our current history to make sure everything's on the up and up!"
And just than, a Baby Aquila flies in and perches RIGHT on top of Captain Retro's head. Captain Retro seriously asks: "Are you...using my head as a PERCH now?! What is WRONG with YOU?! Don't TELL me that you're PICKING up BAD habits from FireHawk?!"
Aquila coos in her native Hawkian tongue, having NOT learned English yet! And Captain Retro understands it, and he says: "I don't CARE if you're MAD that I'm YELLING at YOU! You're a LOT heavier than you LOOK, you know! I SWEAR, I was NEVER that bratty as a baby!"
D.O.G. nervously says: "Like I said, he's a VERY important asset to us! Just trust me on this!" /
The action shifts to the secret Neo Empire Gear Base, where Meison is putting the finishing touches on a project! Meison says: "With all due respect, your rotteness, wouldn't it just be EASIER to put our plan in motion, while Queen Beryl has sent ANOTHER Youma out?!"
The fully cybernetic Dr. Maniac replies: "Once we're done with THIS thing, Queen Beryl will be but a thing of the past. It's time that I regained my RIGHTFUL place as the most INTELLIGENT being, mechanical or otherwise, in the universe! And the BEST part of it is, we'll gain SO much power in the process, that even if the plan ISN'T completely successful, we'll be POWERFUL enough to DESTROY Radiguet and his forces even WITHOUT my plan being completely successful!"
Meison says: "Yes, my evil one!"
And he finishes welding the device! Meison says: "It's DONE!!!!"
And lightning SOMEHOW claps in the room filled with technology! Dr. Maniac says: "FINALLY! After ALL these years of research and working: The TIME RIFT CREATOR!!!!"
Fara says: "Pardon me for asking the OBVIOUS, but, what does it do?"
Dr. Maniac says: "I'm glad you asked. You see, since we seem to be having no luck destroying the Power Rangers in the present, we shall simply have to go BACK in time, to BEFORE the Power Rangers got so powerful! When they were so WEAK and unskilled, even that PATHETIC Queen Hedrian could be a challenge for them!"
Mettzler says: "Can the Time Rift Creator REALLY send people back into the past?"
Dr. Maniac says: "Well, it wasn't CHEAP, OR easy, trying to FIND or BUY or the parts needed to put this together! But YES! This is the CULMINATION of my ULTIMATE dream! The beginning of the END of those STUPID mortal HUMANS, and the RISE of machines, as the NEW, dominant species!"
Farrah Cat says: "But sir, isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? I mean, YOU used to be a mortal human yourself; and machines by strict definition don't have a definitive life--."
(ZAP!!!!) But Farrah Cat NEVER gets to finish her thought, because Dr. Maniac zaps her into ashes RIGHT than and there! Dr. Maniac callously says: "Oh look, that minion died. Kaolite and Villuy, would you clean that mess up please? I expect to continue THAT conversation NEVER!"
Kaolite says: "Of course, sir! We wouldn't DREAM of questioning THAT decision!"
And they proceed to do just that! Dr. Maniac says: "As for the rest of you, Meison, you have shown tireless and unending loyalty to me. As such, you are now, and even retro-actively, my loyal dragon from here-on in AND in perpetuity! As for the REST of you, Mettzler, Fara, and ESPECIALLY Psygorn; you're SICK, you're USELESS, and you're FREAKING psychotic, ALL RESPECTIVELY! You've NEVER had a successful FIGHT against the Power Rangers!"
Psygorn says: "To be fair, it's not EXACTLY like we've had many opportunities to prove our worth!"
Dr. Maniac says: "Well, you'll SOON get that chance! In addition to the Time Rift Creator, I've also had Meison complete the NEO MACHINE ENHANCER! They'll replace your INADEQUATE, INEFFICIENT mortal bodies, with those of new, IMPROVED mettalic MACHINE bodies! You will have more than DOUBLE the strength, wisdom, and speed that you did BEFORE!!!!"
Mettzler gets excited and says: "I could SURE go for that!"
Dr. Maniac says: "And you WILL! You, Fara, and EVEN Psygorn, will be undergoing this process, as well as the rest of my Mecha-Clone army eventually! I'll NEED your strength for the upcoming BATTLE!"
Fara asks: "What battle?"
Dr. Maniac says: "We will ELIMINATE Queen Beryl, the same way she prematurely TRIED to terminate me! Payback is DEFINITELY Scrappy-Doo's Mother, isn't it?!"
Psygorn says: "Do you REALLY think it's going to work?!"
Dr. Maniac looks at him bored, as if it were the most OBVIOUS answer to the most OBVIOUS question in the world! Dr. Maniac says: "Why do you think Kaolite and Villuy have been so busy up until now? They've been trying to contact Queen Galaxia, to ALIGN with us, in overthrowing Queen Beryl!"
Mettzler says: "You couldn't even handle Queen Beryl by YOURSELF before! What makes YOU think Queen Galaxia will be any better?!"
Dr. Maniac says: "Because unlike Queen Beryl, Queen Galaxia APPRECIATES the one thing I do more than anything else in the universe; sheer efficiancy! And since I've had Kaolite and Villuy tell her AND show her the evidence that Queen Beryl has been FAR from efficient...well, needless to say, Queen Galaxia was all too eager to come our way, and she's almost here NOW! In fact, it's TIME Kaolite and Villuy prepared for her arrival! So..."
Dr. Maniac suddenly starts shouting: "Kaolite! Villuy! Are you DONE cleaning up, yet?!"
Villuy says: "Just finished, sir!"
Dr. Maniac says: "Good! You two take Meison and a squadron of regular Mecha-Clones with you to aid Queen Galaxia as the first wave of combat. I need to PREPARE Mettzler, Fara, and Psygorn for their, 'Reconditioning', and make them BECOME the soldiers I've ALWAYS wanted!"
Kaolite says: "But what if the Power Rangers decide to interfere?"
Dr. Maniac says: "Why do you think I had this Time Rift Creator built? With the capabilities of this machine, I can enhance ANY monster that existed in the past! By increasing their STRENGTH, it will boost their powers FAR beyond normal, and ENSURE that any PAST Power Rangers DON'T survive their fight! And NO PAST Power Rangers, equals NO present/FUTURE Power Rangers!"
Psygorn giggles with sadistic glee and says: "And I can't WAIT to MURDER all those lousy Power Rangers, just for YOU, Dr. Maniac!"
Dr. Maniac seriously says: "We'll see. Are we all CLEAR on what is about to happen?"
Meison says: "100%, sir."
Dr. Maniac says: "Good! Than let's get TO it!"
Kaolite, Villuy, and Meison load up in a small fighter space craft, and blast off! Dr. Maniac turns ON the Time Rift Creator, and it begins powering up, as Dr. Maniac PUSHES Mettzler, Fara, and Psygorn into the Neo Machine Enhancer! Dr. Maniac says: "Rift OPEN the 4th dimension, TEAR into the past, and RESHAPE MY FUTURE, into it's RIGHTFUL DESTINY!!!!"
And the Time Rift Creator FULLY powers up, and BLASTS a Time Hole Rift into the Space Time continuum, a blast SO powerful, even RADIGUET can feel it in orbit around Corinth! /
Tranza says: "Did you feel THAT energy? If I didn't KNOW any better, I'd say that it was Dr. Maniac's doing! But...that's CRAZY!"
Gray says: "It IS Dr. Maniac! I'm not sure how, but that can be none other than the CRAZED Doctor himself! I'm certain!"
A brainwashed Maria twitches, and says: "It CAN'T be Dr. Maniac! Human mortals aren't MEANT to be capable of achieving THAT vast amount of energy!"
Tranza says: "Well, it looks like he DID, and I DON'T think that's a GOOD thing, even for US!"
Radiguet says: "On the contrary, I can use this to my advantage! It's a good thing that Dr. Maniac is as STUBBORN as WELL as PRIDEFUL! Otherwise, his USEFULNESS to me would've ended a long TIME ago!"
Eris suddenly appears in his ship again, and she says: "I'm surprised you find SOMEBODY useful! I thought you HATED everybody, INCLUDING yourself!"
Radiguet smirks, and says: "Eris, HOW predictable! TOO predictable, for your own GOOD!!!!"
And lightning ENERGY shackles suddenly wrap around Eris' arms and legs, zapping her Apple of Discord out of HER hands, and into Radiguet's! Radiguet says: "Now, Eris, I wouldn't struggle if I were you. After all, those energy bonds are SPECIFICALLY designed to operate at the EXACT opposite frequency of YOUR powers! If you TRY to break them, they WILL shock you!"
Eris chuckles, like it's STILL nothing, and says: "Come on! Can't you take ONE practical joke?!"
Gray seriously says: "You're asking the WRONG despot! I don't think Radiguet can even comprehend, what a 'Joke' is supposed to be?"
Radiguet says: "On the contrary; I can be QUITE funny if I wanted to! For example; Mary HAD a Little Lamb--BUT I ATE IT!!!!"
And Radiguet chuckles rather cruelly! Radiguet says: "You see, I can be funny!"
Eris says: "And to think, I once thought MANDY was the master of BAD humor! What do you WANT with me?!"
Radiguet says: "Poor, simple FOOL! It's not YOU I'm after! I'm after a MUCH bigger fish--."
A booming masculine/feminine voice shouts over a video intercom wall: "Radiguet, STOP!!!!"
Radiguet says: "At last, on cue. I've been waiting 180 years for this moment, SLA'NEESH!!!!"
The absolutely HORRIBLE looking (even compared to Radiguet's twisted standards) mess of a male/female Chaos God, appears on Radiguet's screen. Sla'neesh says: "You are not FIT to speak my name, nor do you know the CONSEQUENCES of capturing my most FAITHFUL servant! Let her GO!"
Radiguet says: "Not a CHANCE, Sla'neesh, she's MINE now! But than, you would know all ABOUT trying to take something that ISN'T yours, and getting some SICK pleasure out of it, DON'T you, Sla'neesh?! I'm not just talking about that atrocious act you had Usagi and Krash'ir commit with each other, either. But by the very way, you SHAPED me into THIS state of sordid affairs! After I was forced to kill my mother, thanks to Egos Satan being BANISHED to who knows where, I needed someone to GUIDE me on the right way to conquer Earth! I went to YOU for help! I INVITE you into MY ship! I provide you with delectable FOOD and hospitality; and HOW do you repay ME?!!! YOU DROVE ME to levels of insanity that I never THOUGHT were POSSIBLE, you SINGLE HANDIDLY gave me every CONCEIVABLE sexual disease known to humans and several OTHER alien species, you SODOMIZED me and made me 'Squeal like a pig' every single CHANCE you GOT, thanks to YOUR advice, I got BANISHED from Earth for the past 180 years, AND you FORCED me to treat myself for Chylmidia SIX TIMES, which I didn't even know was possible! So, 'FORGIVE' me for NOT acting more CIVIL towards you!"
Sla'neesh callously says: "Sorry, you're going to have to be WAY more SPECIFIC than that! Do you HONESTLY think you're the FIRST alien I've ever wronged? You're nothing more than a footnote, on my LONG list of sexual conquests!"
Radiguet angrily says: "And THAT attitude, is precisely WHY your heinous behavior is about to come to an END! The LOYAL servant of Sla'neesh IS a GREAT, valuable commodity!"
(ZAP!!!!) And the lightning bracelets PAINFULLY zap Eris AGAIN!!!! Radiguet says: "BUT--I MIGHT be willing to make an EXCHANGE, for SOMEONE even BETTER!"
Sla'neesh asks: "And what makes YOU think, I would EVER give myself up, just to STOP your SENSELESS torture?"
Radiguet says: "Because, Eris is ONLY effective in helping YOU, as LONG as her beauty remains intact! Tranza, bring him IN!!!!"
Tranza says: "On it!"
And Tranza pushes a button, that produces a surgeon's operating table around Eris, keeping the lightning bracelets around her for good measure, and a CRAZED surgeon monster comes in! Sla'neesh says: "Radiguet, you FIEND! What are you DOING to Eris?!"
Radiguet says: "First off, let me permit you to introduce you to my loyal monster, Dr. Schlotkin! The most BRILLIANT nose surgeon in the ENTIRE Universe...and Beverly Hills!"
Dr. Schlotkin says: "Pleasure!"
Sla'neesh is puzzled, and asks: "Nose job? I don't understand; she's already HAD a nose job, it was her SWEET 1600th present!"
Radiguet says: "Oh, it's NOT what you think, it's much, MUCH worse! I KNOW that there's a secret CODE to de-power the Chaos Realm, but I don't know what it is. So, if you do NOT give yourself up to me in a mortal body, and TELL me the code for how to de-power the Chaos Realm, Dr. Schlotkin will give Eris back, her OLD FACE!!!!"

Eris screams: "NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Where did you get THAT?!"
Sla'neesh panics, and says: "Okay, okay! I'll tell!"
Eris says: "NO! Sla'neesh, you MUST NOT!"
Sla'neesh sighs, and says: "You're right, Eris. I'll miss your new face. But I'll NEVER tell Radiguet the secret combination, no matter what!"
Radiguet angrily says: "FINE!!!! Dr. Schlotkin, do YOUR WORST!!!!"
Dr. Schlotkin sharpens his already SHARP cutting saws, and says: "My PLEASURE!!!!"
And Eris passes out due to nausea. And as soon as Eris passes out, Sla'neesh screams: "WAIT! I'll TELL! I'll tell."
Eris' table lowers away from Dr. Schlotkin, and Radiguet says: "I KNEW that would work! Very well, what's the combination."
Sla'neesh says: "The combination is, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5."
Radiguet says: "So the combination is, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. That's...THE STUPIDEST COMBINATION I EVER HEARD OF IN MY LIFE! That's the kind of combination an IDIOT would have on his LUGGAGE!"
Sla'neesh says: "I didn't pick it, Khorne did! I wanted to go with a really TOUGH password; Swordfish! Anyways, you got what YOU wanted, now, let ERIS GO!!!!"
Radiguet says: "Don't worry, I'll release Eris, as SOON as you take a mortal form and take her PLACE! Remember, it's YOU, or her FACE!!!!"
Sla'neesh says: "You're a MONSTER, Radiguet!"
Radiguet says: "I WOULD be flattered, but you have no one to blame but yourself! So tell me, in hindsight, WAS sexually torturing me REALLY worth it, Sla'neesh?"
Sla'neesh says nothing, and instead warps itself into Radiguet's ship in a mortal body, and replaces Eris in the operation table. Radiguet than walks up to Sla'neesh, and SLAPS him in the face! Radiguet says: "How does it FEEL to not have the protection of the Chaos Realm to PROTECT you from every type of pain that YOU inflict upon others? IT HURTS, DOESN'T IT?!!! Imagine having to FEEL that pain every single day for THREE HUNDRED DAYS! It's AMAZING I can FEEL anything at ALL!"
Sla'neesh says: "So what are YOU looking for, an APOLOGY CARD?!"
Radiguet says: "Oh, it's WAY too late for apologies, 180 YEARS too late! Although, in a weird way, I guess I SHOULD thank you. If it weren't for the way YOU treated me, I NEVER would've learned what ALL Chaos Gods are like! While their loyal servants do all the DIRTY work for them, they just sit around comfortably getting FAT or something! You have lost TOUCH with the REAL world, Chaos Gods, you GREW complacent! Well, it's time that I woke you ALL UP!!!! I intend on making every single ONE of you pay ME back for the DAMAGE you inflicted upon me and everyone else at least TEN fold! Consider it INTEREST built from the last 180 years!"
Sla'neesh says: "As IF! There's no way YOU could EVER be a threat to the Chaos Gods!"
Radiguet chuckles and he says: "T'zeen'tch thought the very same thing, and I TRAPPED him in a Way Stone for all HIS troubles!"
Sla'neesh panics, and says: "PLEASE! Not that! Anything but THAT! Pleasure is my life! FEELING is my life! If you trap me in a Way Stone, my reason for living will be taken away!"
Radiguet's eyes light up with interest, and he says: "BEGGING, are we? I remember how I BEGGED for you to give me a brainwashed version of MY mother back to me, and you NEVER did! Well, BEG for me, and see how I decide to respond to YOU!!!!"
Sla'neesh slyly says: "Do you want to know the TRUTH about your mother?! She was a VERY loyal servant of mine, and your father was a servant of Khorne! Our idea was to merge the BEST of our forces together, when they gave birth to you! In 1980, one year after you were born, Egos Satan got BANISHED to a ghostly netherworld, leaving Emperess Jooza to raise you herself! Than, when the time was right, I BRAINWASHED your mother to ATTACK you! Initially, I wanted your MOTHER to be the victor, and become my 1,000th married concubine! But, you HAD other ideas! And came BACK to kill your mother instead! Do you know how angry that made me feel? I SWORE that I would teach you YOUR place in the universe no matter what it took!"
Radiguet hollowly says: "Teach me my place?"
Than Radiguet screams: "TEACH ME MY PLACE?!!! It was YOUR FAULT I HAD to KILL MY MOTHER?! It's YOUR FAULT SHE'S DEAD?! And you have the condescending NERVE to tell me it was all about teaching me MY PLACE in the universe?! That TEARS IT! I know I'm normally NICE enough to spare TWO of each species, but because of THAT information, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I'm SIMPLY going to have to KILL every single ONE of your followers except for Eris! It's the ONLY way I'll be able to hold on to any SEMBLANCE of my SANITY!"
The brainwashed Maria twitches, and says: "Please, Radiguet, calm down! There would be absolutely no BENEFIT to trying to KILL every single one of Sla'neesh's followers; why go to all the hassle?"
Radiguet asks: "HASSLE?! You listen to ME, Maria! This is CALLED a 'Public Service'!"
Gray sarcastically says: "You have GOT to be kidding me!"
Radiguet says: "Tranza, WATCH this! This will be GOOD education for you!"
Tranza zooms off, and QUICKLY comes back with a large, buttered popcorn, and a large, Diet Pepsi. Tranza excitedly says: "This is going to be good!"
Radiguet inputs the code onto his ship, and sure enough, it INSTANTLY cuts off power to all CURRENT Chaos Realm demons, and their Gods! Sla'neesh says: "Even WITH the Chaos Realm's power cut off, there is no WAY you could KILL every single one of my followers, and I would LOVE to see you TRY!"
Radiguet glares evilly, and he says: "Oh, you WOULD; WOULD YOU?! Be careful what you WISH for, you just might GET IT!!!!"
And Radiguet once again quickly powers up a gigantic DEATH BALL, and Sla'neesh says: "WOAH! That's MUCH bigger than T'zeen'tch's Death Ball!"
Radiguet says: "Spare me your FALSE flattery!!!!"
And Radiguet BLASTS The Death Ball into Sla'neesh's section of the Chaos Realm, detonates it RIGHT in the middle of it, and the resulting explosion spreads outwards, quickly REDUCING every single one of Sla'neesh's followers (save for Eris), in it's wake! Sla'neesh is completely stunned, and says: "WOW! I...didn't think you COULD actually do it!"
Radiguet says: "Now, do you see the RESULTS of my TIRELESS training?! I have spent every WAKING moment of the past 180 years, dedicated to the SOLE pursuit of becoming STRONGER than the Chaos Gods! I have SUCKED the souls out of HUNDREDS of beings to keep myself as YOUNG as I was when you FIRST violated me, just so when the time CAME for me to collect my restitution, you would SEE the same face you DID 180 years ago, only with the positions REVERSED! But don't worry, I won't degrade you the same way you did me! There's no act of sexual depravity that YOU wouldn't actually enjoy! So instead, we'll just go straight to the source, where I collect MY payback for ALL the crimes you've committed!"
Radiguet starts punching Sla'neesh in the face HARD, and Radiguet yells: "This is for brainwashing my MOTHER!!!! This is for FORCING me to KILL HER!!!! This is for infecting at least TWO past United States Presidents with your SICK, DEPRAVED mindset! This is for SODOMIZING me! This is for FORCING Usagi and Krash'ir to do the NASTY with each other...I mean, come ON!!!! Even I have more decency than THAT! And THIS is for forcing me to treat myself for Chlymidia six times!"
Sla'neesh wearily says: "Khorne and I, the only reason we EVER did this; after the untimely death of Dark Spectre, we DREAMED of creating the most POWERFUL villain in the universe to replace him...AND we succeeded."
Sla'neesh's face, now TRULY looks as ugly on the outside, as Sla'neesh is on the inside! Radiguet says: "So, you think that means I OWE you anything? HARDLY! I've waited 180 years to get payback, and I'm going to GET it! Usagi was satisfied with merely beating you, but I won't make HER mistake! If I'll let you live, you'll just continue to inflict your POISON across the universe; so, I'm going to do the universe an actual favor, and RID the universe of YOU!!!!"
And Radiguet grabs a machine gun from Dr. Schlotkin, and BLASTS Sla'neesh the FULL 100 rounds with it! Than he grabs ANOTHER machine gun from Dr. Schlotkin, and BLASTS Sla'neesh ANOTHER full 100 rounds with it! Radiguet than grabs a standard shotgun from Dr. Schlotkin, and blasts him a full six times! Than Radiguet grabs another shotgun from Dr. Schlotkin, and blasts Sla'neesh ANOTHER full six times! Tranza says: "WOW! Now I know what the definition of 'Overkill', looks like!"
Radiguet sighs contentedly and says: "On the contrary, I think that was the perfect amount of 'Kill'. Unless there's a nearby star where we can BURN Sla'neesh's body!"
Gray sighs, and says: "Of course, Master!"
They quickly zoom to Corinth's sun, and BLAST Sla'neesh's body into it, incinerating it into there is nothing left. Tranza says: "You know, you COULD'VE just turned Sla'neesh into a Way Stone."
Radiguet says: "True. But after hearing about just how DEPRAVED Sla'neesh was, and being REMINDED of what he did to me, I decided that I didn't want to take ANY chance of having HIS spirit infecting me! Now he is DEAD, and he will STAY dead!"
Eris wakes up, and she says: "Is it TRUE?! You KILLED Sla'neesh?!"
Radiguet says: "I did you a favor! Consider ourselves EVEN! You WASTED my time fighting Power Rangers on Corinth, only to find out Venjix was defeated a long time ago! So, I return the favor by using you as leverage against Sla'neesh and it's minions by destroying them! But don't worry, you'll be SPARED, as LONG as you don't get any FUNNY ideas about TRYING to come onto this ship again!"
Eris picks up her Apple of Discord, and says: "As far as I'm concerned, YOU WON'T see ME again! You USED to be fun, and actually cool! But now, I wouldn't even SPIT in your direction! Good day, SIR!"
And she warps off of Radiguet's ship! Radiguet says: "Well, so much for THOSE loose ends! I guess it's time for us to travel back to Core Earth! It's a shame it's so far away! Gray, how long will it take for us to get back there?"
Gray says: "Even if we go full throttle all the way, it will STILL take us 250 Core Earth days to get back there! Core Earth ain't just across the street, if you know what I mean!"
Radiguet says: "Oh well, it can't be helped. Maria, prepare the hibernation chambers for all of us. Besides, I NEED to recharge my energy for the Power Rangers. In 249 days, we'll wake and be right on the doorstep of Core Earth."
Maria sighs, and says: "Yes, sire." /
The action shifts back to the Command Center, where Lettuce finishes saying: "...And that's basically the whole story about what's happened to us until Queen Hedrian summoned you here. I know it was a lot to take in, but we figured it was better to tell you now, as opposed to later."
Shiro says: "Don't worry, I understood it. I'm not sure if DREW did!"
Drew says: "Come on! Why pick on ME?!"
Coop says: "Well, you DID lose Diane Martin! From what I understand, she was QUITE the looker back in the day!"
StarHawk says: "And even today, she's STILL pretty beautiful, considering she's almost 64!"
Diane says: "Thank you!"
Captain Retro comes back in, and he says: "I was FINALLY able to put baby Aquila to sleep! It took me long enough!"
FireHawk says: "It's a SHAME you don't like kids, Captain Retro."
Captain Retro says: "Who said I don't like kids? I like kids just fine, as long as they don't behave like a pair of rabid hyenas! No offense to actual hyenas!"
Than suddenly, Krash'ir twitches, and she suddenly TRANSFORMS into her Krystal guise! Usagi asks: "Krash'ir, why did you CHANGE into Krystal just now?!"
Krash'ir seems shell-shocked, and she says: "I...couldn't help it. It's like, my connection to the Chaos Realm was just suddenly cut off! I...I can't feel my blood lust anymore. It feels like it's...gone."
Captain Retro says: "Radiguet!"
D.O.G. asks: "How?"
Captain Retro says: "Radiguet got Sla'neesh into an offer it couldn't refuse; it's life, for Eris' beauty. Of course, Sla'neesh just HAD to be arrogant and make it worse! So I expect that Radiguet will--."
But at that moment, an earthquake RATTLES the Command Center, Alpha 8 says: "Aye-yai-yai-yai-yai! Our sensors are practically going haywire!"
Naruto looks at the Viewing Globe, and he asks: "What the HECK is THAT?!!!"
They look at the Viewing Globe, and they see a purple, glowing vortex above where Devil's Tower USED to be! Captain Retro asks: "Is that a TIME RIFT?!!! That CRAZED Dr. Maniac has created a Time Rift in SPACE!!!!"
Jim says: "So, I take it Time Rifts are NOT a good thing?"
Captain Retro says: "Hardly! If Dr. Maniac has harnessed the power to create a Time Rift into the time space continuum, he can only be using it for ONE possible reason! He wants to go into the past when Power Rangers weren't quite as powerful as they are now, and eliminate them BEFORE they get stronger powers!"
Krash'ir's eyes open up wide, and she says: "I felt a GRAVE disturbance in the Chaos Realm! I heard MILLIONS of Sla'neesh's followers suddenly CRY out in terror...and than, they were suddenly silenced! I feel as something TERRIBLE has happened to the Chaos Realm!"
BlackHawk says: "Radiguet must have found a way to cut off power and connections to the Chaos Realm! You can't BE Krash'ir, because she's a Chaos Realm demon! But, if there IS no active Chaos Realm..."
Krash'ir says: "Than I can't access my Chaos Realm abilities!"
FireHawk says: "So THAT'S why General Krush came back! He must have anticipated that this was going to happen, and he got out while he still could!"
Captain Retro says: "Radiguet shutting off the power to the Chaos Realm is the LEAST of our worries! What's far more important now, is that the main team of Power Rangers, you're going to have to go to the past, and STOP Dr. Maniac from carrying out his twisted schemes!"
Usagi says: "Sure, but why US?! Diane Martin and her team of Power Rangers actually LIVED through the past, why can't you send them?!"
Captain Retro says: "Because, it's FAR too risky to try sending THEM back to the past! If their past selves were to come into contact with their future selves, it could result in a time-space meltdown that could nullify all of existence, and I don't think anybody wants that, least of all me! However, since none of YOU guys and girls were alive and/or on Earth back than, you can go into the past, no problem!"
Samson asks: "Can't you go with them, Captain Retro?"
Captain Retro says: "Well, I AM going with them, but I have to be incognito! I'll have to disguse myself, because a 5 foot 8 inch anthropomorphic dog is going to be a little conspicuous, if you know what I mean! Oh, Queen Hedrian! I guess you better give magic disguises to the non-human Power Rangers as well."
Queen Hedrian sighs, and says: "Sorry, Pinkie. It looks like you're going to be turned into a human AFTER all!"
Pinkie says: "But I..."
(POOF!!!!) And sure enough, Lettuce, Pinkie, BlackHawk, StarHawk, and FireHawk are all transformed into humans with their respective heights intact, and wearing clothes and punkish, short cut hair styles that wouldn't look out of place in the 1980's! Patsy says: "THAT'S your idea of incognito? They look COMPLETELY tacky!"
Captain Retro says: "EXACTLY! Do you know the CRAZY amount of things that could PASS for acceptible fashion in the 1980's?! They will BLEND right in!"
Omnus says: "You know, I'm surprised that I can't actually argue with THAT thorough logic!"
Krash'ir says: "I wish I could go with you Usagi, but until I can get used to fighting without access to my Chaos Realm abilities, I'd only be slowing you down."
Usagi says: "That's okay, someone needs to stay here and keep an eye on Sally Anne, and there is no one more capable than you!"
Captain Retro says: "Which reminds me, as soon as you guys are done with this mission, you'll have to go into the Nazi Realm and destroy the Dark Kaiser. The trouble is, with this Time Rift open, there's a chance it could STILL affect events in our time! If that happens, it could even affect the Nazi realm!"
BlackHawk says: "Meaning...?"
Captain Retro says: "For example, the Nazi realm itself might still BE intact, but it might not necessarily be Nazi's controlling it. And since this IS Dr. Maniac we're talking about, that might not necessarily be a GOOD thing!"
Lettuce says: "That's a very good point, actually!"
Scrappy-Doo comes up and asks: "And what about us?"
Captain Retro says: "You and the Thunder Rangers will need to stay here. If Queen Beryl, Dr. Maniac, or Vipera try to attack, we'll need someone who can defend Coastal Falls. Which reminds me, Tommy wanted to give you an early birthday present, Scrappy."
Scrappy says: "A birthday present, for ME?!"
Captain Retro gives Scrappy a green box, and he says: "Open it. I think you'll like it!"
Scrappy does this, and his eyes light up, and he asks: "The TIGERZORD Power Morpher?!"
Captain Retro says: "Tommy wasn't going to use it anymore, now that he's retired, and he didn't want to go to waste, so he asked me to find a suitable candidate to use it. And, since we're short on other possibilities, you're currently the best for the job!"
Scrappy honestly says: "Captain Retro, I promise that on ALL things Power Rangers, I WON'T let you down! I may not be the hero that Coastal Falls neccessarily wanted, but I might just be the HERO that Coastal Falls NEEDS!"
Captain Retro says: "I'm sure you'll do fine. Omnus, prepare the Power Rangers!"
Shiro asks: "Where are you sending them?"
Captain Retro says: "They'll be heading to where it all began for YOU, for starters! Back to December 31, 1979. From there, I have determined that the Time Rift will automatically skip forward to whenever Dr. Maniac tries to prepare an attack. In the meantime, the eight of us will have to live Parallel lives, and try not to disturb the flow of history so much! So, don't even THINK about even TRYING to as so much DATE ANYONE, NARUTO!!!!"
FireHawk says: "OOH, he's got YOU pegged, Naruto!"
Naruto shouts: "I have a GIRLFRIEND!"
FireHawk says: "In CANADA!!!!"
Queen Hedrian says: "OOH, BURN!!!!"
Captain Retro says: "All right, knock it off, FireHawk, or Queen Hedrian can make you look like Boy George for the 1980's, and SPOILER ALERT, the 1980's were NOT a great time for Gay people! I'm just saying things are a LOT cooler now! And furthermore, don't try to kill any named monsters if you don't have to. It's going to be difficult ENOUGH for me to manage what is sure to become altered history even WITHOUT additional changes to worry about."
FireHawk says: "You mean, we CAN'T just kill Radiguet as a baby in the past?"
Captain Retro looks at her SERIOUSLY, and says: "No...just, no. Have you EVER heard of 'Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act'? Well, there are THREE justifications for that! In the first place, an alteration to history THAT big and gigantic, could result in history becoming SO messed up that in TRYING to piece it back together, the time-space continuum could collapse in on itself, destroying all sentient life as we know it! Secondly, even if the time-space continuum somehow DIDN'T collapse in on itself, and successfully managed to create an alternate timeline, there's STILL too much of a chance, that history could be changed in ways that you can't anticipate. For instance, even if there technically WEREN'T Nazi's, you might accidentally cause something even WORSE than Nazi's to be created! In other words, 'Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!' Third, and I can't BELIEVE I even have to say this, but, you're talking about killing a BABY, who, from HIS perspective, hasn't DONE anything yet!"
FireHawk stares at Captain Retro blankly, causing Captain Retro to say: "And THAT'S terrible! Suppose EVERYONE had access to time travel, and decided to time travel to any time they wished, just to 'Ret-gone' somebody out of existence! Not only could you accidentally erase YOURSELF from existence, the logistical nightmare of trying to keep history functioning under such circumstances would be a NIGHTMARE for ME and the REST of the Guardians! There ARE limits to the kinds of things even WE can do, lest you FORGET that important fact!"
Lettuce says: "Or to put it more simply, Radiguet is bad, but unfortunately, neccessary for history to stay functional."
Captain Retro says: "Thank you! At least, someone gets it!"
Usagi says: "I wish my fellow Sailor Scouts could see this...I guess I'll just have to settle for telling them all about it once I get back!"
Captain Retro says: "As usual, don't let ANYBODY in the past see you morph if you can ACTIVELY avoid it! Just THINK of the trauma that would create!"
Pinkie says: "I wouldn't dream of it, Retro!"
Omnus says: "All right, we're all clear on what we must do! Scrappy, and Thunder Rangers, morph, and standby for any threats we might have to face on Core Earth!"
Scrappy says: "I've always wanted to say this! It's MORPHING time!" /
Scrappy says: "Tigerzord!" /
And his body shifts into an adult form, and he's now wearing the White Ranger power costume! Samson says: "You know, now that I've seen this costume in person, it DOES look a lot like our Thunder Ranger Power costumes!"
Omnus says: "It should! Since Zordon wasn't able to find the Thunder Morphers back in his time, he simply used his knowledge and memory to create a brand new morpher, based on those powers!"
Coop says: "That explains a lot! Anyways, time for the rest of us! It's MORPHING time!" /
Krash'ir, in her Krystal form, says: “Blue Kirin Thunderzord power!”
Samson says: “Red Dragon Thunderzord power!”
Patsy says: “Pink Phoenix Thunderzord power!”
Coop grows to FULL adult height, and he says: “Green Lion Thunderzord power!”
D.O.G. says: "Yellow Korin Thunderzord power!” /
D.O.G., looks at their now FULL team, and says: "Somehow, this just feels right to me."
Lettuce says: "All right! It's time for us to kick BUTT and take names, preferably Dr. Maniac's!"
Usagi asks: "Captain Retro, are you going to bring your Master Morpher with you?"
Captain Retro says: "I NEVER go time-traveling without it!"
Patsy says: "I'm SO jealous! You have GOT to tell me how you GOT one of those, one of these days!"
Captain Retro says: "I'll tell you WHEN you're old enough!"
Patsy says: "I HATE having to wait!"
Diane Martin says: "Wait until you're older, and your body might start betraying you in OTHER ways!"
Captain Retro says: "In any case, Power Rangers, you must go through the Time Rift first while I make sure it stays open and doesn't close in on you. Once I go in, we won't be able to go back until we've done what we've set out to do."
BlackHawk says: "Understood! Let's go!"
And the Power Rangers warp to where Devil's Tower used to be, close to the Open Time Rift! Omnus says: "Captain Retro, you know what YOU have to do, don't you?"
Captain Retro sighs, and says: "Yes, and I know that I won't like it. While I function incognito as a human, I'll have to ensure the creation of RETRO music in the past! After all, without Retro music to inspire me in the future, what WOULD I do once I got back?! And, I'll ALSO have to make sure Dr. Maniac doesn't TRY to kill Radiguet, as unheroic as THAT seems!"
Dash asks: "Are you REALLY going to do that?"
Captain Retro says: "Of course I am! After all, I believe that no act of kindness, however small, is EVER wasted! Not even on someone like Radiguet!"/
The Power Rangers arrive to where Devil's Tower used to be! Usagi says: "I don't think I'll EVER get over Devil's Tower not being here!"
Naruto says: "You said it!"
Captain Retro arrives, and uses his Chronomancy powers to keep the Time Rift open! Captain Retro says: "All right, we have no time to do this fancy, so just do this fast!"
BlackHawk says: "Right! No time like the present..."
StarHawk says: "...Or the past!"
Lettuce says: "Power Rangers, warp!!!!"
And they jettison up into the Time Rift! After they all go in, Captain Retro sighs, and says: "Well, here goes SOMETHING!"
And Captain Retro starts changing into impossibly tacky clothes from the late 1970's/early 1980's, but goes through the Time Rift before we can SEE the form he changes into! /
Shiro says: "Well, it's all up to them now!"
Dan says: "It STINKS that we can't help them out on this!"
Samson says: "Trust me by experience, there is NOTHING those Power Rangers can't do once they put their minds to it!"
Diane Martin says: "I hope you're right, Samson. I hope you're right." /
To Be Continued...

[4EverGreen]

Sorry for the delay; but at long last, here is the re-run of the second part of the mini-arc currently in progress! Enjoy! /

(Cold Open)
Dr. Maniac's Mecha-Clone Army, led by Kaolite and Villuy, are soaring through space in 1980's styled futuristic fighters, and they've got their sights on Queen Beryl's compound! A mysterious female voice comes through over their intercom's. She says: "There's the DELINQUENT'S hide-out, just where Dr. Maniac said it would be!"
Kaolite chuckles, and she says: "Naturally, QUEEN Galaxia! Dr. Maniac thought it would be ONLY fitting for us to LEAD you to the WELCOMING party that will be Queen Beryl's FINAL day on her THRONE, and the FIRST day of YOURS!"
Villuy says: "Just remember; in exchange for giving YOU the power of HER throne, and access to Queen Metalia; you will let Dr. Maniac's Neo Machine Gear Empire, have full reign over mechanizing ALL of Neo Earth's populace!"
Queen Galaxia chuckles, and she says: "While Dr. Maniac's concerns are HARDLY mine, I suppose LETTING Dr. Maniac have a SMALL victory compared to our LARGE one, won't make much of a difference to US in the LONG run! He DOESN'T suspect YOU two yet, does he?"
Kaolite chuckles, and she says: "NOT a clue! The short-sighted Doctor will NEVER see what's coming! He has NO idea that we're SIPHONING the energy to his Wormhole Creator, in order to open a link to the Nazi realm! Once it IS open, we will USE all the Youma at our disposal, to overwhelm the PATHETIC Nazi humans there! Once we do, THAT realm will be ours; and all those Nazi's shall become POSSESSED by Youma's, FITTING for the traitors to human kind that they ARE!"
Queen Galaxia's ship is FINALLY revealed, and inside, a deceptively YOUTHFUL and pretty looking female with blond hair and golden armor, who APPEARS to be about 20, with Queen Galaxia's VOICE, chuckles: "I couldn't agree more! All TRAITORS must be PUNISHED for their treachery! Queen Beryl and Abaddon will JUST be the first! I think it's TIME we made MY official coronation announcement!"
Villuy says: "Fire on MY command! In 3, 2, ONE!!!!"
And the three of them, including all the Mecha-Clone fighters, begin FIRING on Queen Beryl's compound! Benzite says: "What is going ON here?! Why is the ground SHAKING so much?!"
Kunzite says: "Our sensors indicate it's NOT an earthquake!"
Abaddon says: "My mistress, perhaps you better scan the skies to see what's causing the disturbance! We don't want Queen Metalia to be awoken with ONLY a fraction of her power!"
Queen Beryl scoffs, and she says: "It's PROBABLY nothing!"
Queen Beryl scans the sky with high-power binoculars, only to gain a VERY sour-looking face in the process! Abaddon says: "Well, what's the verdict Queen Beryl?"
Queen Beryl turns around, and in her MOST despaired voice, she says: "Abaddon, I think we're in TROUBLE!!!!" /
"Back To The 1980's Part II: Burning Up!"
When the episode starts proper, words flash on the screen, and they say: "New York City, December 31, 1979; 3:26 P.M."
A galactic portal appears on the top of the Studio 54 building, SURPRISING Ken Shiraishi, who just HAPPENS to be drinking up there! Ken asks: "Am I THAT drunk?!"
And out of the portal, walks out a five foot, eight inch, long green haired man with IMPOSSIBLY tacky clothes. He looks around New York City, and in CAPTAIN RETRO'S voice, he says: "Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy!"
Captain Retro chuckles to himself, and he says: "I ALWAYS wanted to say that line!"
Ken asks: "WHO...or, WHAT; in the world are YOU?!"
Captain Retro says: "My name and identity are unimportant to you! Just remember, I'm on a mission to save THIS time, and my own! Also, lay off the 'Sauce'! A, it's bad for you. B, you're setting a BAD example for your fellow Russian's. And C, you have SOMEWHERE you need to be, soon!"
Ken sighs, and he says: "Oh, all right!"
And Ken makes his way down the fire escape in the back! Captain Retro checks his watch (since he WASN'T allowed to bring his cell phone from HIS future) and Captain Retro says: "Speaking of, I've got somewhere I need to be, SOON! I've got to WARN Diane and the others!"
Captain Retro shimmies down into a dark alley, and makes his way to the front of Studio 54! Captain Retro checks his watch again, and he says: "Made it with JUST enough time to spare!"
And sure enough, at that moment, Dan and Diane pull up right in front of Studio 54. However, without ANY warning, Dan passes the car keys to CAPTAIN Retro, and Diane says: "My good man, please park this limosuine for me in the V.I.P. section for the Studio 54 cars."
Captain Retro tries to protest, and says: "But I'm not really--."
Diane merely says in a commanding voice: "NOW."
And CAPTAIN Retro, deciding it's not worth it to argue with such a rich woman, takes the limo, and jerkedly begins to drive it to where it will be parked. Once he's OUT of Diane's sight, he activates his communicator to the present time of 2179, and says: "Omnus, I'm in a bit of a situation here!"
Alpha 8 says: "WE'RE in a situation in OUR time, to! Queen Beryl's PALACE is being ATTACKED!"
Captain Retro has to QUICKLY swerve to avoid SEVERAL irate taxi cabs, and Captain Retro yells: "WHAT?! By WHOM?!!!"
Omnus sighs, and he says: "Queen Galaxia, summoned by Dr. Maniac himself; PURELY to secure Queen Metalia out of SPITE against his former employer!"
Captain Retro says: "By all rights, Queen Galaxia SHOULDN'T be involved in this! Dr. Maniac must be planning something TRULY diabolic in relation to the Nazi realm!"
Queen Hedrian says: "He's HARDLY the only interested party! I over-heard Kaolite and Villuy talking with Queen Galaxia on my PRIVATE Pirate radio! Let's you hear ANY frequency, ESPECIALLY yours! Anyways, they're SIPHONING the energy that Dr. Maniac is using from his Wormhole Creator, to create a rift to access the Nazi realm! They're GOING to get RID of all the leaders there, and infect ANY remaining Nazi's, in order to have them be POSSESSED by Youma's!"
Captain Retro has to SWERVE to avoid missing a bus, and he says: "Well, just have the Thunder Rangers deal with it until we're able to come back! Speaking of, where are the OTHER Power Rangers?! None of them have contacted me!"
Alpha 8 says: "I HATE it that you're asking me that! You KNOW we get HORRIBLE Internet reception for anything that happens PRE 1981!"
Captain Retro says: "Than you better hurry up and FIND someone! I have to PARK this limo!"
Queen Hedrian says: "I didn't even KNOW you can drive!"
Captain Retro says: "I'm NOT supposed to! I only HAVE my DRIVER'S permit, and I NEVER envisioned myself having to make my WAY, through such INSANE New York traffic! At least I've finally FOUND a parking lot! You would THINK New York City, even in 1979, would put their parking lots a LOT closer to their important BUILDINGS! At least I'll be able to park, and than I can--."
But Captain Retro is INTERRUPTED, by Mecha-Clones on motorcycles trying to BLAST his car! Captain Retro says: "Oh, GREAT! I SO didn't need THIS distraction right now! Well; guess I'll just have to do what I ALWAYS do while playing the arcade version of Cruisin' World released in 1997; drive like CRAZY!!!! I sure hope Diane picked some good DRIVING music!"
And Captain Retro puts in the Blondie cassette, and sure enough, Blondie's "One Way Or Another" starts playing! Captain Retro says: "All right! Now THIS; I can work with!"
During the song, Captain Retro keeps driving in SUCH a way, he FORCES the Mecha-Clones on motorcycles to either CRASH into other cars, against walls, or into each other, and they explode upon each impact! / Blondie sings: "One way, or another, I'm gonna find ya; I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! One way or another, I'm gonna win ya! I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! One way or another I'm gonna see ya; I'm gonna meetcha, meetcha, meetcha, meetcha! One day, maybe next week; I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha! I will drive past your house, and if the lights are all down, I'll see who's around! One way or another, I'm gonna find ya; I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! One way or another, I'm gonna win ya! I'll getcha, I'll getcha! One way or another, I'm gonna see ya! I'm gonna meetcha, meetcha, meetcha, meetcha! One day, maybe next week; I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha! And if the lights are all out, I'll follow your bus downtown! See who's hanging out! (Guitar Solo plays) One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya; I'm gonna give you the slip! A slip of the hip, or another; I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya, I'll trick ya! One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya; I'm gonna trick ya, trick ya, trick ya, trick ya! One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya; I'm gonna give you the slip! I'll walk down the mall, stand over by the wall; where I can see it all, find out who ya call! Lead you to the supermarket checkout; some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd! One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call) One way, or another, I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call) One way or another, I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)!" / And the song ends as Captain Retro FINALLY manages to park the limo in a PERFECT position!
Captain Retro says: "WOW! I'm a better driver than I THOUGHT! Not a SCRATCH on this car!"
(PEW!!!!) And one last surviving Mecha-Clone, blasts the limo, giving it the worn-down, weathered, faded pinkish, white limosuine look it HAS in the future! Captain Retro angrily says: "Oh, why you LITTLE--!!"
And without even BOTHERING to announce his attack, he simply BLASTS the Mecha-Clone with the energy coming out of his right hand! Captain Retro sighs, and he says to himself: "NEVER tempt FATE; ESPECIALLY when you're in the past!"
However, Usagi's voice comes through the communicator, and she asks: "Captain Retro, where ARE you?!"
Captain Retro says: "I had a situation I had to deal with! I already met SOME of Dr. Maniac's 'Friends'; where have YOU been?!"
BlackHawk's voice comes through the communicator, and he says: "I'm not sure! By all means, we SHOULD'VE been here before YOU have; but the Wormhole seems to have diluted the times that we've come through the Wormhole! You were just the first!"
Captain Retro says: "Okay, I got YOU two accounted for. Anyone else?"
StarHawk's voice comes through the communicator, and she says: "I just got here myself! So, I don't know where everyone else is!"
Captain Retro says: "Speaking of, where are you, anyways?"
Usagi says: "Well, the three of us are where we NEED to be! On top of Studio 54! I just heard and saw Diane and her friends go in!"
Captain Retro says: "Than it won't be long before Dr. Maniac sends the Main course! You three help the Battle Fever Power Rangers deal with it as best you can until we can find out where the others might be!"
StarHawk asks: "Aren't you coming to help?"
Captain Retro sighs, and he says: "I can't at the moment. I'll explain later, but...I have a LIMO that I'm going to have to see if it can be fixed!" /
The camera switches to Usagi and the others, and BlackHawk says: "Do you think we should tell him that Diane's limo is GOING to end up looking wrecked no matter WHAT he does?"
StarHawk says: "I wouldn't. It would probably just make him feel worse!"
Usagi says: "And besides, we don't have the time! We need to get INTO Studio 54, ASAP!"
BlackHawk asks: "But how are WE going to do THAT?! None of us are exactly V.I.P.'s during THIS time, Usagi!"
Usagi says: "Maybe not. But I DO have a plan...and I'm NOT going to like it!" /
Usagi, and the disguised BlackHawk and StarHawk, make their way towards the Studio 54. Usagi says: "Okay you guys! Just let ME do all the action; and under NO circumstances, are ANY of you to let Krash'ir know what I had to DO to get us in here!"
StarHawk says: "Neither of us would EVER dream of it!"
Usagi approaches the front door, and the guards bar her way with Billy Clubs! The White Guard says: "I'm sorry; but under Steve Rubell's personal orders, I'm afraid I can't let anyone in unless you're on the registered guest list!"
Usagi BLUSHES her cheeks, bats her eyes, and in her most SEDUCTIVE voice, says: "Are you SURE you can't make an EXCEPTION, for ME?!"
And the camera pans to Usagi's back-side, as she DELIBERATELY unbuttons her top JUST enough, to let the guards get a VIEW of the EYE CANDY! The African-American Guard says: "I thought only Dolly Parton had JUGS that big! Look; we're let you and your friends in, if you allow us to PLEASURE you!"
Usagi buttons back up, and she says: "I think SOMETHING can be arranged, just let us INSIDE, first!"
The White Guard says: "Just to let you know, WE don't do this for just ANY--."
But as soon as they get INSIDE the building, Usagi CONKS the two guards together as HARD as she can, and they are knocked unconscious! Usagi opens the front door, and she asks: "Well, aren't you coming in?"
BlackHawk asks: "You mean, you WEREN'T going to--?"
Usagi finishes: "Allow them to go to town on ME? HELL NO!!!! There are already ENOUGH FAKE images of ME out on the Internet already...in the future! Now, come on! Let's find Diane and warn her what's coming!"
The three of them begin their search, only to IMMEDIATELY run into a very FAMILIAR pink-haired woman! StarHawk says: "PINKIE PIE?! Why haven't you contacted Captain Retro, yet?!"
The disguised Pinkie Pie looks puzzled, and she asks: "Pinkie Pie? WHO'S Pinkie Pie?! My NAME is Diana Manchot! And I'm going to be a FAMOUS pop singer/dancer/actress! And TONIGHT, with my legendary guitarist; Blade the NINE-TAILS, we are going to ROCK the roof of this HOUSE off! But if you know of any good agents, CALL ME!!!!"
And the disguised Pinkie Pie runs off! BlackHawk asks: "Blade the NINE-TAILS? Do you THINK she was referring to Naruto?"
Usagi asks: "Who ELSE could it be? Furthermore, why didn't she recognize us?!"
And as if on cue, Alpha 8 contacts them! Alpha 8 says: "Rangers! Thank GOODNESS the three of YOU are safe!"
StarHawk asks: "The THREE of us? Isn't everyone else safe?"
Queen Hedrian audibly winces, and she says: "Well...Yes, and no."
BlackHawk asks: "What's THAT supposed to mean?!"
Omnus says: "Well, from what our initial Internet scan of the area shows, which is VERY hard to come by over the land-line connection; is that all the OTHER Power Rangers bodies are SAFE, but their minds have become altered...somehow."
Usagi asks: "But if THEIR minds have become altered, why haven't ours changed as well?"
BlackHawk asks: "And where in the HECK are Lettuce and FireHawk?!"
Queen Hedrian says: "Apparently, Lettuce and FireHawk didn't even ARRIVE in New York City at ALL! They're somewhere in Miami; as a cop and a drug dealer respectively, no doubt!"
Captain Retro patches in, and he says: "That seems about right. Anyways, I think the limo's been fixed up as best as it can be, so I'm coming over to Studio 54, now!"
Usagi says: "You won't have to deal with security, than; the way that I did!"
Omnus says: "And you three, along with Captain Retro, were protected by your unique natures. Captain Retro, due to his connection with the Dog Deity Clifford; Usagi, with your Cosmorpher; StarHawk, thanks to your possession of the Phantom Ruby; and BlackHawk, thanks to HIS experiences of having to go through the Demon Realm when he was six!"
Alpha 8 says: "As to why the other Rangers had their minds changed, we don't know that, yet! But, I promise you, that we WILL find out as soon as we can!"
StarHawk says: "All right, keep us posted!"
They turn their communicators off, and BlackHawk says: "All right, now it's time to find--."
But BlackHawk's thoughts are interrupted, when a Disco Ball suddenly LOWERS close to the ground, and it turns INTO a Monster filled with Sharp Mirror Glass! In a heavily robotic voice, it says: "GREETINGS FROM DR. MANIAC! BATTLE FEVER POWER RANGERS, I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY THIS FIRST OFFICIAL BATTLE OF YOU BEING POWER RANGERS; FOR DISCO BRAWL WILL MAKE IT YOUR LAST!"
Usagi, StarHawk, and BlackHawk jump in front of Diane and her fellow Rangers, and Usagi says: "Don't worry; you won't have to fight this unknown threat alone!"
Shiro says: "We weren't expecting more help!"
StarHawk says: "I wish we had time to explain; but you're going to have to trust us!"
Dash says: "Hey; if they're willing to help us fight, they're okay by me!"
BlackHawk says: "Look; here's the plan! You five morph, and we'll provide you with--."
An unfamiliar voice says: "A DISCO BALL monster? Is THAT the best that Dr. Maniac can come up with?"
And with a blast of yellow energy, Disco Brawl is SUDDENLY extinguished out of existence! Usagi asks: "Did Naruto REMEMBER who he was AFTER all?!"
The unfamiliar voice says: "Not quite!"
All eight Rangers turn around, and they see a purple skinned, reptilian looking alien with NINE tails, red eyes, blond hair, and cat ears, wearing TACKY clothes that wouldn't look out of place in a 1983 fashion show; StarHawk asks: "Who is THAT?!!!"
Queen Hedrian says: "You're asking the WRONG woman! I've never seen HIM while I was active!"
The reptilian alien, speaking with a male voice says: "So, Power Rangers from the future have FINALLY found the place of my initial experiments! It looks like I'll have to move MY workspace to ANOTHER year!"
Alpha 8 says: "This creature's energy ISN'T showing up on our scanners! And we have no idea who...or WHAT he is, and we NEED to find out! I think you're going to have to fight!"
The reptilian alien says: "Okay! Before we start, I just want you to know who I am. I'm no one suspicious; my name is Emperor CATTON!"
Omnus says: "A suspicious character WOULD say he wasn't suspicious! Just what are you up to?!"
Emperor Catton says: "Woah! Why do you got your PANTIES in such a wad?! This isn't REAL history! This is a COPY of real history! You're in a TIME rift! It's completely SEPARATE from YOUR established history! In other words, you can make ANY changes in this history that you WANT; unlike OTHER cases, of course!"
Captain Retro finally arrives, and he says: "It pains me to say this, but according to the Akhasic Records, he's RIGHT! Any changes that are made in THIS time rift wouldn't--."
Captain Retro shakes his head, and he yells: "WAIT A MINUTE!!!! How did HE even KNOW that?! If I DIDN'T suspect him BEFORE, I do NOW!"
Captain Retro turns his attention to Emperor Catton, and Captain Retro says: "So YOU'RE Emperor Catton, right? You seem to know a LOT about the Power Rangers! You BRAINWASHED some of my fellow Power Rangers, didn't you? Return them to NORMAL!"
Emperor Catton says: "Oh, so THAT'S why the hostility! You may not believe this, but I didn't do ANYTHING to your fellow Power Rangers, nor do I have ANY like for Dr. Maniac!"
Captain Retro asks: "WHAT?! Time out! What do you MEAN?!"
Emperor Catton says: "I mean, I can HELP you take care of ANY threat that Dr. Maniac sends YOUR way; and in exchange, all you need to do is to help ME out!"
Captain Retro asks: "Help YOU out, how?"
Emperor Catton says: "Well, to be honest, I've never personally HAD the pleasure of seeing the Battle Fever Power Rangers in action! I want to see how they fight!"
Dan says: "Finally! Some morphing action!"
Captain Retro says: "Phew! The Battle Fever Power Rangers are FINALLY going to morph! That ought to set history straight!"
Emperor Catton says: "But in THE tacky outfits THEY have?! That's SO unacceptable!"
Captain Retro says: "WAIT! What are you DOING?!"
Emperor Catton raises five specially modified "Nintendo" playing cards, and he says: "Now that those Rangers are PERFECTLY trained and at optimum strength, let's see what happens when they're bathed in Royale Waves!"
Captain Retro says: "Royale Waves? Like the kind you find in the specially modified "Nintendo" playing cards of the Battle Royale Power Rangers?! No; STOP!!!!"
But Emperor Catton blasts them with Power Waves from the five specially modified "Nintendo" playing cards, with Dan transforming into Red Spade Ace, Dash transforming into Blue Jack Diamond, Ken transforming into Green King Club, Diane transforming into Pink Queen Heart, and Shiro transforming into White Knight One! Ken says: "Incredible!"
Dash says: "So THIS is what it's like to be a Power Ranger!"
Omnus says: "No, no, NO!!!! Those are ENTIRELY the WRONG transformations!"
Captain Retro says: "Oh, dear! If THOSE are the transformations they learn, we'll NEVER be able to correct history! Queen Hedrian, tell me you've got some sort of plan!"
Queen Hedrian says: "I'm working on it; but the spell is going to take TIME; LITERALLY!"
StarHawk says: "That's the ONE thing we don't have much of!"
Emperor Catton laughs, and he says: "Ha, ha, ha; good luck! Because you ARE going to need it! You're about to deal with FIVE Battle Royale Power Rangers!"
Usagi says: "I was hoping to avoid this; but if THEY'RE going to morph, I am to! It's MORPHING time!" /
Usagi says: "Cosmorpher! Sailor Moon! White Ranger Power!!!!" /
Dan says: "Are you SEEING what I'm seeing?!"
Diane says: "It's ANOTHER White Ranger!"
Shiro says: "GOOD! This will be the PERFECT test for these new powers!"
Ken asks: "I have to wonder, which White Ranger is the STRONGER one?!"
Shiro says: "Isn't it OBVIOUS?! The stronger White Ranger is ME!"
Usagi fires her staff, and she says: "No, ME!"
Shiro fires her swords, and she says: "ME!"
Usagi fires back, and she says: "ME!"
Shiro fires her swords, and she says: "ME, ME, ME!!!!"
Usagi fires a STRONGER blast, and she says: "ME, ME, ME, and ONLY ME!!!!"
Captain Retro looks to the other Power Rangers, and he says: "Two White Rangers in 1979...not sure if the world is ready for that."
Emperor Catton laughs, and he says: "Ha, ha, ha! Twisting up history is the BEST thing EVER!"
Captain Retro says: "Stop this right NOW! We'll NEVER be able to repair this rift if you don't!"
Emperor Catton says: "Quiet; just watch what I'm about to do! The changes that Dr. Maniac and the rest of HIS ilk try to make don't do anything special! I, on the other hand, can ABSORB energy from the changes that I make!"
BlackHawk asks: "Seriously?"
And as if to prove his point, Emperor Catton draws a sword, and SUCKS up purple energy, which takes away the EFFECT of the Royale Waves, and turns the Battle Fever Power Rangers back to normal! Emperor Catton says: "See? The timeline is back to normal; that's because I absorbed the damage energy that Dr. Maniac caused when his forces invaded this time. You're welcome! You have NO idea how long I've waited to MEET other Power Rangers! This is really exciting! Say, can I have a DNA sample to take with me? Nothing much, just a few drops of blood!"
StarHawk incredulously asks: "WHAT?!!!"
Emperor Catton says: "No? That's a shame. Anyways, I got to be leaving here. But DO check in with me again! I would REALLY like to find out more about you!"
Captain Retro says: "Hey, WAIT!!!!"
And Captain Retro rushes to Emperor Catton, but he warps without even leaving a trace! Captain Retro turns around, and he tells the Battle Fever Power Rangers: "So, sorry you initially experienced the WRONG Power Ranger Power's!"
Dan says: "Still, at least now we have some idea what to expect once we transform for real!"
Diane says: "Oh, MAN! Why do I get the feeling we won't be seeing THOSE Power Ranger transformations AGAIN, anytime soon?"
BlackHawk says: "Well, we may not know what Emperor Catton wants, but he doesn't seem to be in league with Dr. Maniac...from what we've seen so far. Still, ALL of us should be on our guard! Until we can figure out how to fix the others, we're still at a disadvantage!"
And as if to prove his point; Pinkie Pie walks up to the Performing Stage, with a guitar wielding Naruto, and she says: "Are you ready to ROCK?!!! Because I sure am! I'm going to sing you a song, that will be written by a woman, who to be honest, will be viewed as a bit of a SLUT!...Not that there's anything WRONG with that! 1, 2, 3, GO!!!!" /
And Naruto starts playing guitar, and he PLAYS Madonna's break-through hit song, "Burning Up!", and Pinkie Pie sings the lyrics: "Don't put me off, 'cause I'm on fire! And I can't quench my desire!"
A young, 19 year old man who looks a LOT like a young Madonna, dials a phone on the Studio 54 bar area, and he says: "Madonna Ciccone, it's your younger brother!...Your younger brother, Cristopher Ciccone! Anyways, I'm hearing this great new song, and I THINK it's the break-out hit that you've been looking for!" And he holds the phone up so Madonna can hear the song better!
Pinkie sings: "Don't you know that I'm burning up for your love? You're not convinced that that is enough! I put myself in this position, and I deserve the imposition! But you don't even know I'm alive! And this pounding in my heart just won't die! I'm burning up! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! For your love! You're always closing your door! Well, that only makes me want you more! And day and night, I cry for your love! You're not convinced that, that is enough to justify my wanting you! Now tell me what you want me to do! I'm not blind, and I know that you want to want me, but you can't let go! C'mon, let go! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! I'm burning up, burning up for your love! For your love, oh! Do you wanna see me down on my knees? Or bending over backwards, now, would you be pleased? Unlike the others, I'd do anything! I'm not the same, I have no shame! I'm on fire! C'mon, let go! (Guitar solo) Do you wanna see me down on my knees? Or bending over backwards, now, would you be pleased? Unlike the others, I'd do anything! I'm not the same, I have no shame! I'm on fire! Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up! Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up! Come on, oh come on - I'm burning up! Uh, uh, uh - I'm burning up! Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up! Come on, oh come on - I'm burning up! Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up! Uh, uh, uh! You know you got me burning up, baby! You know you got me burning up, baby! Burning up for your love! Burning up for your love! Burning up for your love! Burning up for your love!" /
And as the song ends, applause erupts from the crowd, and a middle-aged white man walks up to shake their hands, and he says: "What a fantastic performance! You may not know this, but I'm Seymour Stein; I HAPPEN to be the current president of Sire Records. We have such talents in our ranks like Talking Heads. Anyways, we think that you would BOTH be great additions to our label, and you would be able to collaborate with pretty much ANYONE you want, if you play your cards right!"
Naruto says: "Just to let you know; if someone like Michael Jackson asks ME if I want to play solo on one of his songs, I won't say no!"
Seymour says: "Well, we will see what we can arrange! For now, let's see if we can set up a playing arrangement with my parent label; Warner Bros. Records? I hear they've got this hot new act named Prince, who's been DYING to find a knock-out leading lady to sing with him!"
Pinkie says: "I sure can't wait to MEET the pint-sized powerhouse! Like he sings; 'I wanna be your lover!' I'm referring to Prince, of course!"
Pinkie turns around, and though she's not speaking to the other Power Rangers directly; the other Power Rangers FEEL like she is! Pinkie says: "Thank you for supporting me! I'll be sure to remember you, once I get MY name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!"
Usagi desperately says: "No, wait!"
But Pinkie and Naruto's NEW crowd of followers crowd around the departing singer and musician, and Usagi is unable to get to them as they head out the doors! StarHawk looks at the other Power Rangers, and she says: "Uh, I think we kind of missed the boat there!"
Captain Retro says: "Well, one fact IS clear! When we went through the Wormhole, SOMEONE; probably Dr. Maniac, CLEARLY tried to brainwash all of us into FORGETTING that we were Rangers! I mean, if Pinkie were in her RIGHT state of mind, she would NEVER act like that!"
BlackHawk says: "I quite agree! The question is, how are we going to reach HER and Naruto? If they DO become famous like they intend to, it might become IMPOSSIBLE to get them to go back to being Power Rangers; and I mean 'Impossible,' by EVEN Power Ranger standards!"
Shiro asks: "Is there anything we can do to help you out?"
Usagi says: "Keep an eye on them, when you can. Make sure NOTHING bad happens to them! In the meantime, this is HARDLY the only time we've got to protect!"
And, as if on cue, the wormhole opens up again! StarHawk says: "And speak of the devil!"
Captain Retro says: "Well, I'm not sure WHEN in time you'll end up, or if they'll ever see you again! But, you guys better go through! I have to remain here."
BlackHawk asks: "Why is that?"
Captain Retro sighs, and says: "Because, I have to make SURE Dr. Maniac DOESN'T try to kill BABY Radiguet! We might NOT be willing to damage the space-time continuum, but we know for SURE that Dr. Maniac probably will!"
BlackHawk sighs, and he sincerely says: "Good luck, Captain Retro!"
And Usagi, StarHawk, and BlackHawk go through the Wormhole Portal! Diane asks: "Do you need a place to stay?"
Captain Retro says: "I probably WILL, now that you mention it."
Diane says: "Than you can stay with ME, however long you need to! Besides, I'll need SOMEONE to make sure my mansion ISN'T ransacked!"
Captain Retro says: "A mansion? I like the sound of that! Anyways, so much for the EASY part of this mission! Now, it's time for the main event..."
To Be Continued...

I'm not at home right now, but I can re-run the latest episode of "Total Cartoon Legends!" Enjoy! / Sniz is in the TV monitor room, looking at footage from the previous episodes, and he says: "Last time, on Total Cartoon Legends, we were down to 24 contestants competing against each other to become the ULTIMATE legend! It was time to see what the contestants knew about Mark Twain! Unfortunately, there were SOME contestants, I.E. Kitty; who thought it would be a BRILLIANT idea, to try to target Jenny and Gerald! Pretty bad MOVE, Kitty! Not only did Kitty's plan end up going HORRIBLY right in getting Jenny mad, but Jenny ended up saying a word that should NEVER be said under ANY circumstances, causing the rest of her team to give Jenny a no-holds barred beat down! OUCH!!!! In order to save what little face she had left, Kitty abruptly quit the game, forcing us to scrub plans for the Temple Run. At the Elimination Ceremony, the remaining Red Jaguars and Purple Parrots turned on Jenny, and voted her off the show! Now, we are down to 22 contestants! More than half of the contestants have been eliminated; and by the end of this episode, we will have reached the halfway point, for this half-season! Two more contestants will join the ranks of the losers, and I have a feeling that it will be a battle of the BEAVERS this time around! Who will win? The established genius, Treeflower; or the apparently rising genius, Daggett?! It will be interesting to see what happens on today's episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Prepare for the artistic Renaissance!" / Instead of the Normal Show Open, it shows scenes of Spongebob and Sandy, Harvey and Fee, Wally and Future Adult Rube Goldfish, Dudley and Chameleon, in a montage of their more romantic moments from this show, all to the tune of Elton John's "Your Song!" /

Elton John sings: "It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside. I'm not one of those who can easily hide. I don't have much money; but, boy, if I did, I'd buy a big house where we both could live. If I was a sculptor, heh; but then again, no. Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show. I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do. My gift is my song, and this one's for you! And you can tell everybody this is your song! It may be quite simple, but now that it's done; I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words, how wonderful life is while you're in the world! I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss. Well, a few of the verses; well, they've got me quite cross. But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song. It's for people like you that keep it turned on. So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do; you see, I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue. Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean; yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen. And you can tell everybody this is your song! It may be quite simple, but now that it's done; I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words, how wonderful life is while you're in the world! I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is while you're in the world!" / And the montage and song ends! / "The Legend Of The Lost Sketchbook of Leonardo Da Vinci!" / It is still night-time. Rube happens to wake up, and he turns towards Wally, and Rube says: "Wally, are you happy being in a relationship with me?" Wally says: "Of course I am! I mean, these challenges haven't been easy. But, I feel that as long as I can do them with you, I feel like I can handle anything!" Rube says: "I feel the same way, about being with you. The thing is, even though I love you RIGHT now; I won't be able to stay in this time, once this season is over." Wally asks: "What do you mean?" Rube says: "I come from about 20 years in the future, remember. And even though I have magical protection, I'm afraid it's not possible for me to stay in the past forever. The spell I used to travel back here, will only keep me here for the length of this season. Once this season is over, I have to go back to my own time. Love, or no love." Wally asks: "Can't I go with you?"

Future Rube sighs and says: "I'm afraid you can't. You'll remember that I came back here, because you WANTED to be affected by my presence. So will my father. But, I'm not allowed to take anyone from the past, back to my time; it would disrupt the time-space continuum, and I KNOW that you don't want that." Rube THINKS about it, and he asks: "How old are you now?" Wally says: "I'm 18, and I'm a genetically modified Rocket Monkey. I have the life-span of a human!" Rube asks: "Would you be able to wait 20 years, for the Infant version of me to grow up? Because technically speaking, WE are the same fish; just from different times!" Wally says: "Of course I will! Can you...can you tell me if you have any memories of seeing me while you were growing up?" Rube shakes his head, and he says: "I'm afraid I can't. After all, the thing I've found, is that when you GIVE someone knowledge about the FUTURE in the past; they tend to ACT in ways that makes it so that future doesn't happen the way you SAY it will! I know it seems sort of weird, but that's the way it often works! I'm afraid that you'll have to live without the knowledge of what I've been through, so that you'll go through life the way you are meant to." Wally says: "I understand. But still; don't you think you ought to run it by your father what the plan is?" Rube nods, and he says: "I suppose I better. I mean; technically SPEAKING, Bubble Bass from MY time will probably know it, but I have to tell Bubble Bass from THIS time so he WILL...it's kind of complicated, this whole time traveling thing!" Wally says: "Hey, I've been through space! It's more or less the same ball park, metaphorically speaking!" (Confessional) Wally says: "A lot can change in 20 years, but one thing that will NEVER change, is the love that I feel for Rube! And I don't want to jeopardize that future for anything!" / Future Rube says: "This whole falling in love thing? I didn't plan on it. But than, I wasn't told by my father from MY time, what was going to happen while I was here EITHER! I had to come here just as blind about Wally's past, just as blind as Wally is about my future, to ensure that I do and say everything that I'm supposed to...including the words I'm saying right now. And as such, I must ensure the 'Stable Time Loop' remains stable, by telling my father!" (End Confessional)

Future Rube knocks on Bubble Bass' trailer, and Rube asks: "Dad, are you alone in there?" Bubble Bass answers the door, and he says: "As a matter of fact, I am. Pearl wanted to take the Infant you shopping for supplies; and she won't be back for about another half-hour. Even so, she said she would call once she was finished." Rube says: "That's good, because I have something to say to you, that you're going to remember to tell ME, before I come back to the past!" Bubble Bass says: "I'm sure I will, but I better grab a pencil and a piece of paper, just in case!" Bubble Bass does so, and he says: "Okay, tell me what I need to know." Rube says: "The infant version of me, and this version of me, are technically the same fish; just from different time periods. And the reason why I've never interacted with the Infant version of me, is because I don't want to take the chance of causing a Temporal Anomaly. Long story short; those things are bad! Anyways, what you need to tell the Infant version of me, before he comes back to THIS time in the past; is that you can't tell him ANYTHING about what THIS version of me is doing this season! I have to go into this season blind, so that I make sure that I act and behave the same way, in order to make sure the time loop stays stable." Bubble Bass says: "Okay. When the infant version of you grows up to come back to the past, he has to come back, not knowing what the future version of you did, so he will act and behave the same way, in order to make sure the time loop stays stable. Is that all I need to know?" Rube says: "That's all. And one more thing; don't tell me before I go back to this time, but when I get back to my present; your future, Wally and I want to be in a committed relationship with each other."

Bubble Bass asks: "Aren't you in a committed relationship, now?" Rube says: "Technically, yes. But the thing of it is, Wally can't come to the future with me. He said he's willing to wait for 20 years. He HAS to take the 'Long Crawl' to get there, because I'm not allowed to take anyone from this time, back to my time." Bubble Bass says: "Okay, I understand. Don't tell you about your relationship with Wally, until you get back to the future, which will be the present by than. Got it! Also, I heard from your mother." Rube says: "What did she have to say?" Bubble Bass says: "She said she was sorry for the way she over-reacted to the truth about you. She says that however you want to look, is fine with her, and she wants you to be happy; whatever that means." Rube sighs in contentment, and he says: "I'm glad I came back in time than, because; I now feel confidant enough, to look the way that YOU look!" Bubble Bass says: "You mean in bubbles?" Rube says: "Yes. I've...never shown you what I look like without this magical guise, have I?" Bubble Bass says: "Surprisingly, no." Rube says: "Anyways, you're going to see what I look like; without the appearance of clothes." Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "Than it's only fair, that you see me, without my bubbles." Rube asks: "Are you sure?" Bubble Bass says: "You're my son! I don't CARE how you look! You...don't care how I look, do you?" Rube says: "Of course not!" Bubble Bass says: "Than we'll go on three! One, two, THREE!!!!" It switches to Rube's backside, and Bubble Bass HAPPENS to be standing in front of a GIGANTIC meat loaf on the table! Rube and Bubble Bass look at each other, and Bubble Bass says: "You ARE my son! I don't know why other fish aren't as brave and honest as you are." Rube says: "Well, we can only help each other out as best as we can. You're my father, and I want to follow your example! Magic, BUBBLES!" And Bubbles surround Rube! Bubble Bass says: "You already LOOK more comfortable!" Rube sighs in contentment, and he says: "I FEEL more comfortable! And dad?"

Bubble Bass asks: "What is it?" Rube says: "I just want you to know, that no matter what happens, I will ALWAYS respect you as my dad. Now, and forever!" Bubble Bass smiles, and he says: "Would it...be too awkward if I gave you a hug?" Future Rube says: "I could NEVER think of it as awkward! You're my dad, and that's all that matters!" And the two fish hug each other! Bubble Bass says: "Now I know, that no matter what happens, I know YOU will grow up to be just fine! Even if Blonda forgets the truth, I never will!" Future Rube says: "Speaking of TRUTH; the truth of the matter is, I think Pearl wouldn't WANT to come here to see you WITHOUT your bubbles!" Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "You're probably right. Bubbles, ON!" And Bubble Bass' bubbles appear back on him! Future Rube says: "Anyways, I better go before Pearl and Infant me come back! Thanks for everything!" And Rube leaves the trailer, and Bubble Bass yells: "I love you, son! Now, AND forever!" (Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "It seems kind of strange, but it's almost like Rube NEEDED to come back in time to see me, just to understand MORE about himself! I mean, I personally don't mind, because this way; I technically get to spend TWICE as much time with him! I get to spend time with Rube as a baby, and here; while his future version gets to be able to STAY here! I know Rube can't TELL me what I am going to do as a father; but I know that whatever I do, will help him to become the man, he IS going to become!" / Future Rube says: "My dad is not afraid to be who he is. And...if the past version of my mother is fine with ME being who I am, I know that when I come back; even if it's difficult, my mother will accept ME for being who I am there, to!" (End Confessional) It is early morning at the Purple Parrots' trailers. Taotie has woken the others up, for a team meeting! Po says: "I've never seen YOU so eager to have a team meeting before!" Taotie says: "That's because things have NEVER been this serious before! We are DOWN to five members!"

Yakety says: "Not only that, but the Green Monkeys still have SEVEN!" Bulma says: "And that's why it's important for us to target another member of the Green Monkeys!" Daggett groans, and he says: "I know we SHOULD; but, every OTHER member of the Green Monkeys seems to be so NICE and popular! Not to mention, well-liked picks to make it to the Team Merge!" Taotie says: "Well, what did you expect? We were BOUND to run out of EASY boots to choose from eventually!" Daggett says: "Not quite. There IS one unpopular contestant that still remains on the Green Monkeys!" Yakety's eyes widen, and he says: "No WAY! You're not SERIOUSLY thinking of targeting Treeflower; your OWN Sister-In-Law, are you?" Daggett asks: "What other choice do I have? Besides, if I'VE thought about this possibility; you KNOW Treeflower has already thought about THIS possibility AGES ago! She's ALREADY had plenty of time to think of ways to engineer MY demise! I KNOW she wants to win; but I want it, to! Besides; if I beat her, it would be the ULTIMATE proof of ME no longer being the DUMB beaver! Norbert would HAVE to think of me as intelligent and smart!" Bulma says: "Those are both LITERALLY the same things!" Daggett says: "See? I'm still LEARNING how to be smart; thanks to you! And besides, even IF Treeflower WOULD be the PERFECT patsy to take to the Final Three, do any of you REALLY want someone as ANNOYING as HER to stick AROUND with you for THAT long?!!!" The other Purple Parrots find themselves in STUNNED silence, and are able to say NOTHING to rebuke that question! Daggett says: "That's what I thought! Besides, if we get rid of Treeflower; we'll get RID of the biggest brains that the Green Monkeys have!" Taotie sighs, and he says: "I think he's right, Bulma. It's not the ideal choice to make. But with our numbers as they are; I think we're fresh out of options!"

Bulma sighs, and says: "So much for the perfect patsy. I'll have to come up with a Plan B that DOESN'T involve Treeflower!" Yakety says: "And if Bulma is fine with it, than so am I!" Po says: "I'm ONLY going along with this plan, because I HAPPEN to like Treeflower the LEAST out of all the remaining Green Monkeys!" Daggett says: "I guess for once; Treeflower's unpopularity is FINALLY going to pay off, in our favor! Our primary target is Treeflower! And if we don't end up BEING with the Green Monkeys, than they can decide for themselves which Red Jaguar or Orange Iguana they want to eliminate; it makes OUR jobs a lot easier!" (Confessional) Po says: "You know things are serious when TAOTIE is the one to come up with a serious plan! The Purple Parrots are down to being a 'Five Man Band'! I'm 'The Ace', Taotie is 'The Lancer', Bulma is 'The Genius', Yakety is 'The Big Guy', and Daggett is 'The Chick' by default! (Bulma sticks her head into the Confessional, but Po doesn't notice it!) That being said; I'm not in a position to ignore ANYONE'S ideas anymore! Regardless of WHERE it comes from, I need to CONSIDER all the options, and decide which will be best for us! Our chances of winning depend on it!" And Bulma quickly sticks her head OUT of the Confessional! / Bulma does an air fist-pump and she says: "YES!! Po is FINALLY willing to listen to MY ideas! It's about TIME! If he had DECIDED to do it earlier, we wouldn't BE in the mess we are in now! Even so, I have NO intentions of being the one to decide HOW we should target Treeflower! After all, Daggett is the one who is WILLING to go toe to toe to her! And in case things go south, I want Daggett to take all the blame for it! Of course, there IS the slight possibility that he COULD succeed! But...why place all of your bets on a LONG SHOT?! No matter what the outcome, I'll be no worse off in the long run!" /

Taotie says: "Honestly, this might be the LAST easy elimination we GET! Any other eliminations will only be HARDER from here on out! In any case, I think Daggett has the right idea. It's probably better to eliminate Treeflower NOW; before she picks up anymore steam! The plan is straight-forward; merely appeal to Treeflower's over-inflated and undeserved sense of egotism and pride, let HER alienate everyone else on the team, and let the Green Monkeys take care of the rest! And the best part of the plan is; that we will keep our hands relatively CLEAN this time around! I LOVE it when a plan comes together!" / Yakety says: "Honestly; I'm not sure HOW to feel about targeting Treeflower. Yes; she IS unpopular and relatively annoying, but she WANTS to win just as much as the rest of us! All I'm saying is; this is squarely DAGGETT'S plan! If it fails, than I'm afraid I'll have to vote him off! It's just that simple!" (End Confessional) It's the morning, and everyone is having breakfast in the cafeteria, until Sniz rings a gong, and his voice comes over the loud-speakers! Sniz says: "Attention Green Monkeys and Orange Iguanas! Just as a reminder; Kitty Katswell quit the game last time, and Jenny was eliminated via Penalty Votes! Please suit up into your team colors, and come to the Moat to hear about today's challenge! That is all!" Spongebob turns to Sandy and Pearl, and he says: "Are either of you...nervous about being the only females left on your team?" Sandy says: "Not really. Should we be?" Spongebob says: "I'm just saying that if either of you are planning on going to the Final Five with me...assuming I'm able to get there; your best bet for doing that, is that the both of you are going to need to team up together! There's no telling WHICH contestants might be willing to take advantage of your situation!" Pearl says: "We'll be sure to keep that in mind!" Stimpy asks: "Speaking of teaming up, don't you think it's high time to get into an alliance with me, Marlene, Wally, and Future Rube in order to vote the IRRITANT off?!"

Marlene whispers to Spongebob, and she says: "And by 'Irritant', he MEANS Treeflower!" Spongebob says: "But she hasn't DONE anything yet! Besides, she HAS an Immunity Pendant! We'd just be putting OURSELVES at risk!" Wally says: "Spongebob, Treeflower is NEVER going to let you SEE your elimination coming! That's why she WILL eliminate you when your BACK is turned! If SKIPPER did it to you, what makes you think that SHE won't?!" Spongebob says: "I gave her that Immunity Pendant as an act of good will. She won't use it to try to eliminate me, because she KNOWS that she'll NEVER win the popular vote if she does so!" Gerald asks: "Do you REALLY believe that Treeflower is WORRIED about being popular? Because I think THAT ship set sail AGES ago!" Spongebob says: "Hey! Larry and Bubble Bass have put aside THEIR past differences to work with me on different occasions! I know it's not easy, but you have to have FAITH in the inner goodness of MOST people...or contestants, in this case!" Larry says: "Let's just hope for YOUR sake, you're making the right call about this!" Buhdeuce says: "After all, you have no way of knowing how the teams are going to be set up this time! There's no guarantee that EVERYONE will WANT to keep you safe!" Spongebob breathes a deep sigh, and he says: "Only IF Treeflower does anything bad to me, and ONLY than; than I WILL vote with Stimpy, Marlene, Wally, and Future Rube."

(Confessional) Sandy says: "As much as I hate to admit it; Spongebob DOES have a point. With Jenny gone, Pearl and I are going to have to stay in lock step in order to keep from being eliminated! Even if by some miracle, Treeflower DOES get eliminated along with whoever; that still leaves me and Pearl with 17 other contestants...not counting Spongebob, to worry about!" / Stimpy says: "If we try to keep Treeflower PAST the Team Merge, she'll turn her back on the rest of us the FIRST chance she gets! I mean; all she DOES is spend her time with Keswick, and even HE doesn't like her that much! It's better that we take care of this potential problem NOW; instead of later!" / Marlene says: "Even though Treeflower being gone would make ME, the last female Green Monkey left standing; she's like MINUS one contestant ANYWAYS! Eliminating her would actually IMPROVE our odds in future challenges, because we wouldn't HAVE to worry about her potentially backstabbing us!" / Wally says: "When it comes right down to it; Treeflower wants to WIN more than anything us! And the worst part of all this, is that Spongebob brought this situation on himself! He SHOULD'VE known BETTER than to give ANYTHING to Treeflower; let alone, an Immunity Pendant of Life!" / Gerald scoffs, and he says: "The day that TREEFLOWER uses the Immunity Pendant of Life on ANYONE other than herself, is the day when I get eliminated from THIS competition!...And we all know THAT'S never going to happen!" / Larry says: "I don't know why, but something's telling me that our team should eliminate GERALD if we lose. It's ALMOST like he just tempted fate!" / Buhdeuce says: "If our team DOES end up being in an Elimination Ceremony with Treeflower, I think I'm going to vote HER off purely on principle; regardless of what she does with the Immunity Pendant!" / Spongebob says: "One of my core principles, is that I will never intentionally be the FIRST to make an attack against anyone else. I will ONLY retaliate if I have a reason to do so. In other words, it's all up to Treeflower, to determine how today's challenge will go." (End Confessional)

The contestants suit up into their team colors, and everyone rushes out, only for EVERYONE except Wally and Bubble Bass, surprised by Future Rube's new 'Wardrobe!' Treeflower sarcastically says: "Nice OUTFIT, RUBE!!!! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Rube turns around and genuinely says: "THANK YOU!!!!" Treeflower gets MAD, and she SCREAMS: "I WAS BEING RUDE TO YOU!!!!" Keswick groans, and he sarcastically says: "GEE, that was a REALLY smart thing to say just now. And you WONDER why everyone else HATES you!" Treeflower says: "That's a LIE!!!! Children look UP to me and RESPECT me!" Fee says: "What universe does THAT happen in?!" Harvey says: "Ordinarily, I WOULD listen to a grown-up, but you act FAR more childish than Foo and Princess EVER have!" Chameleon says: "Even THEY'VE got YOUR number, Treeflower!" Treeflower says: "Well, it doesn't even matter ANYWAYS, because WE are going to win!" Dudley says: "To have a chance at THAT; you'd need to know what today's challenge is, first!" General Barracuda walks onstage, wearing a painter's Beret, a fake Italian mustache, and speaking in a FAKE Italian accent, he says: "And I'm a going to tell you what to expect for today's a challenge!" Treeflower sarcastically says: "Let me guess; it's to speak in an accent of a language you have no business to--." Sniz says: "Nope! It's the artistic Renaissance! Olmec will elaborate! What is today's legend?!" Olmec says: "Today's legend, is The Legend Of The Lost Sketchbook of Leonardo Da Vinci!" Sniz says: "And since today's challenge revolves around someone who lived his life in Italy; the way we're going to get across the Moat today, is by the Venetian tradition of Gondola! In groups of three or two, each team will have to punt their Gondola across the Moat! Once one group has gotten across, they must use the pulley system to send their Gondola back, so the next group can get across. Once the entire team has gotten across, you will ring your Gong pedestal to signify that you have finished crossing! As usual, where you finish, will determine which team you get teamed up with. Green Monkeys, you will have to sit one contestant out."

Keswick says: "I'm sitting this one out!" Treeflower screams: "WHAT?!!!" Keswick says: "It's YOUR fault! I'm SICK of your condescending attitude and your LOUSY personality! From now on, you're on your OWN!!!!" (Confessional) Keswick says: "You wouldn't BELIEVE what I've had to put up with; listening to HER!" Keswick mocks Treeflower, and he says: "Oh, Keswick; I'm so SMART and PRETTY! Everyone else is so UGLY and STUPID!! EVERYONE ought to listen to me and respect me, because I USED to be a C.I.T. at a REAL summer camp!" Keswick resumes his normal voice, and he says: "Does SHE even LISTEN to herself when she TALKS?!!! Someone PLEASE remind me to NEVER work with such a stuck-up snob EVER AGAIN!!" / Treeflower groans angrily, and she says: "I always KNEW Keswick would turn out to be a SELL-OUT! I was HOPING to use my Immunity Pendant of Life on SPONGEBOB, and blame his elimination on whoever, but it looks like I'll have to use it on BENEDICT Keswick!" (End Confessional) Keswick walks over to all the OTHER Green Monkeys, and Marlene says: "Good for YOU, standing up to that pretentious DIVA!" Keswick says: "That was the EASY part! Now, she's BOUND to use her Immunity Pendant to eliminate ME! That's RIGHT; I know what YOU'RE about, Treeflower!" Wally asks: "Are you SURE that's a bright idea?" Keswick says: "Hey! If she IS going to TRY to eliminate me anyways, I hardly think it matters WHAT I say! I just want to let HER know, SHE'S eliminating the ONLY contestant BESIDES Norbert who was EVER willing to TOLERATE her!" Stimpy says: "OOH, BURN!!!!" Treeflower scoffs, and she says: "Like I'm SCARED!! My mental facilities, are TWICE of what all of YOU put together are, you PEA BRAINS!!"

Daggett chuckles, and he says: "Want to BET?" Treeflower's demeanor changes, and dead-pan, she says: "Oh, look. It's Daggett; the Anti-Norbert. How YOU'VE managed to last THIS long is BEYOND me!" Daggett says: "In all fairness, I could say the same thing about you. The thing of it is, you KNOW your popularity is COMPLETELY in the toilet right now...metaphorically speaking! But what if someone OFFERED you a chance to AVOID your elimination?" Treeflower says: "And what do YOU get out of it?" Daggett says: "Only the knowledge, that the SMARTEST beaver will get to stay for the remainder of this half-season! Here's my proposition; let's compete DIRECTLY against each other during this challenge! If your team prevails, I'll tell everyone on MY team to vote me off, to show you there are NO hard feelings between us! Of course, if MY team prevails, I fully expect YOU to QUIT the challenge, and LET everyone vote you off, WITHOUT using your Immunity Pendant on yourself!" Treeflower says: "And how do you know that I WON'T use the Immunity Pendant?" Daggett smirks, and he says: "Because, if you DO use the Immunity Pendant on yourself, EVERYONE will know you are a LYING hypocrite who ONLY cares about getting what THEY want; and everyone will HATE you for at LEAST the remainder of the competition, REGARDLESS of who you eliminate! But; it IS your choice! Are you brave enough to take a chance? After all, if either of us leave the game THIS way, neither of us will have TECHNICALLY gotten our hands dirty in eliminating the other! I intend on keeping MY word! The question is, are you brave enough to do the same?" (Confessional) Treeflower scoffs, and she says: "Daggett is BLUFFING!!!! It doesn't matter HOW smart he tries to act! He will NEVER be as SMART as me! SO, with THAT being the case; how could I POSSIBLY pass this opportunity up?!" / Daggett says: "Yeah, I know this is a RISKY move! But this MIGHT be the only chance I have to get Treeflower out of the game, without putting any RISK to myself! After all, it IS her decision!" (End Confessional) Treeflower says: "All right, we HAVE a deal!"

Daggett asks: "A PROMISE deal? Not a FAKE promise; you're fingers aren't CROSSED, are they?" And Treeflower shows her uncrossed fingers. Daggett shows his own uncrossed fingers, and he says: "Very well. A PROMISE deal!" And they shake on it! Yakety asks: "Daggett, are you SURE you know what you're doing?" Daggett says: "It's easy! Nobody's going to HELP Treeflower to cross! We just got to make sure WE come in first or second so WE don't wind up with the Green Monkeys!" Taotie says: "I can't argue with that! I wouldn't know HOW to!" Sniz says: "Okay! Going first for the Purple Parrots; it's Daggett, Bulma, and Yakety! Going first for the Green Monkeys; it's Spongebob, Stimpy, and Marlene! Going first for the Red Jaguars; it's Sandy, Gerald, and Buhdeuce! And going first for the Orange Iguanas; it's Dudley, Harvey, and Fee! Everyone else is second! Are you ready, General Barracuda?" General Barracuda chuckles, and he says: "You know I am!" Sniz says: "Than, on your marks, get set--!"

General Barracuda blows a loud whistle, and Sniz says: "GO!!!!" / During the first group crossing, Daggett, Bulma, and Yakety work surprisingly FAST in tandem, determined to NOT get placed with the Green Monkeys, while the Orange Iguanas seem to be able to keep a fast pace with the Purple Parrots! After the first groups get across, and they send their Gondolas back; Po and Taotie are able to use their combined energy to move the Gondola forward! Likewise, Bubble Bass and Chameleon follow suit! But true to Daggett's prediction, Wally and Future Rube REFUSE to help Treeflower MOVE the Gondola at ALL! And Pearl and Larry are SO annoyed by it; they actually go BACK to help MOVE the Green Monkeys' Gondola WITH them; but it's all in vain, as the Purple Parrots and the Orange Iguanas are the first to hit THEIR Gong Pedestals! Sniz says: "Wow! It seems like the Purple Parrots are REALLY on fire today! They finished crossing the moat with the Orange Iguanas first, so they will be teamed up together! Green Monkeys, a rather lackluster start this time around. Let's hope being with the Red Jaguars will improve your fortune!" Treeflower says: "I can't BELIEVE I got more HELP from Pearl and Larry, than I DID from my OWN team!" Larry groans, and he says: "We weren't HELPING you out of a sense of GOODNESS; we were FRUSTRATED that you WEREN'T apologizing to the REST of your team!" Treeflower sputters, and she says: "ME?! APOLOGIZE?! As IF! What would I HAVE to apologize for?!" Pearl says: "Do you want the LONG list, or the SHORT version? And SPOILER alert; even the SHORT version goes on for 15 minutes!" Treeflower says: "Fine! Be that way! I'll just get the low-down from Keswick! He can't keep away from ME for long!" Keswick says: "I wouldn't be too SURE about your prediction!" Sniz says: "Wow! Tension in the Green Monkeys? Who would've guessed?! What's going to come from it? Find out after we return from our commercial break, with MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / After the commercials end, the contestants are starting to gather at the Steps Of Knowledge. Treeflower turns to Marlene, and Treeflower says: "You know, this WOULD be the perfect opportunity for us to team up together, to HUMILIATE the Purple Parrots, and FORCE them to vote Daggett OFF!" Marlene incredulously asks: "Are you SERIOUSLY trying to get ME to help you?! Besides, I would HONESTLY rather have DAGGETT win than YOU!!!!" Treeflower YELLS: "Are you CRAZY?!!!" Marlene winces, and she says: "And in CASE you were WONDERING, WHICH I highly doubt; your SCREAM is just ONE of the many reasons WHY!" Treeflower scoffs, and she says: "Your LOSS! Stimpy would be MORE than happy to help ME humiliate the Purple Parrots! Aren't you, Stimpy?" Stimpy asks: "Why would I help YOU?! You've NEVER helped any of US before! You name ONE time you have EVER made a sacrifice for ANYONE, with NO expectation of ANY reward for yourself; and THAN, I will take that comment back!" Treeflower just stares at Stimpy in a blank expression, and Stimpy says: "That's what I THOUGHT! We may not be to YOUR high standards of knowledge, but we all do our best to care and respect each other during these challenges! We value each others' friendship! I don't know where the Treeflower of season three went to, but I KNOW she is somewhere inside of you! If you could just REMEMBER who you WERE back than; maybe than, I WOULD help you!"

(Confessional) Treeflower says: "The contestant I was back in season three? It was so EASY to be that woman when I had Norbert around! When Norbert was around me, I always KNEW how to be the best version of myself in any given situation...at least, I certainly did my best! But...without Norbert as a visual reminder; I've completely LOST my way! And...I'm not sure if I know HOW to BE the best version of myself without Norbert around!" / Marlene says: "When Norbert was around Treeflower, she could actually be TOLERABLE! Without him around...not so much! I hate to say it, but I think Treeflower actually only functions at her best when she HAS Norbert around! Because when she doesn't...her WORST personality traits ALWAYS seem to come out!" / Stimpy sighs, and he says: "I think that the reason Ren's last freak-out hurt me so hard, even though he personally didn't hurt me; is BECAUSE I spent so much time trying to help him. And during that time, I did that NEVER expecting any reward for myself; even counting my children as such. But it hurt so much when Ren wasn't able to keep his rage under control...even if Master Coelaceanth was or wasn't involved! I mean, maybe in a weird sense, we're ALL crazy in some way; but at least Lil and I are a MANAGEABLE crazy! Ren?...Not so much!" (End Confessional) Treeflower turns to Spongebob, and she says: "Spongebob, you...inexplicably CONSTANTLY do things for others SO many times and never SEEM to be disappointed by never getting anything in return. HOW in the world are you able to DO that?!" Spongebob replies: "NEVER getting anything in return? WHAT are you TALKING about?! I CONSTANTLY get things in return!" Treeflower asks: "Like WHAT?!" Spongebob says: "Well, Sandy's marriage and my kids, for starters! Larry's and Bubble Bass' friendships, and even SQUIDWARD finally understanding just exactly who we both are! It all comes from a point of doing something selfless for someone else. Even if the result DOESN'T seem apparent at the time you do it; you ALWAYS receive something FAR more valuable than ANY material possession can be! I'm not PLAYING this game expecting to WIN the grand prize; it's just an added bonus as far as I'm concerned. But I want something that ALWAYS lasts, even when money doesn't! And THAT, is true, valuable friendships! And that's something, no amount of money can EVER truly buy!"

(Confessional) Treeflower gasps, and she says: "How has SPONGEBOB, of ALL of us; have it so EASILY figured out?! I've spent my WHOLE time devising plans and strategies to get ahead, having so MANY of them fall by the wayside; and yet, he CONTINUOUSLY gets ahead so EASILY! Could it ACTUALLY be that simple? Have I been TOO close to see the solution that's been staring me in the face this whole time?" Treeflower groans, and she screams: "I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!" And her voice echoes off the walls: "IDIOT! Idiot! Idiot..." Keswick pops his head in, and he says: "But I think you DO mean well!" Treeflower says: "Not now, I'm having a moment." Keswick says: "Got you!" And he leaves the room! Treeflower says: "I've been so wrapped up in trying to PROVE that I was smart; I completely forgot how to be NICE! I mistook arrogance for wisdom, and look where it's GOTTEN me! I've nearly alienated EVERYONE on this show, and even if I COULD win this thing; nobody would respect me for doing so! But at this point, the only way for me to gain ANY respect, is if I did something SO altruistic, that everyone WOULD respect me like I want them to!" Than a horrible, UGLY realization hits Treeflower, and she nervously gulps as she says: "Oh, MAN!!!! I know what I HAVE to do in order to PROVE myself, but it's GOING to suck FAR worse than ANYTHING I've done in my WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE!!!!" / Spongebob says: "Squidward once told me, that EVERYONE has his or her OWN level of incompetence! And that eventually, they rise up to that level and than they STAY there, for the rest of their lives! But honestly; I think he's got it all wrong! It's not about TRYING to prove yourself more competent than anyone else, it's about doing the best you can, in the best way you can; and that involves COMPASSION! As far as I'm concerned, without COMPASSION, you HAVE no WISDOM!" (End Confessional) Sniz finally arrives at the Steps of Knowledge, and he says: "Okay everybody, I'm HERE!" Pearl asks: "Do you have to announce yourself EVERY time you get here?" Sniz scoffs, and he says: "Of course I don't HAVE to announce myself every time I get here; I do it because I WANT to! There's a difference!" Sandy says: "As long as YOU'RE aware of the difference, that's all that matters!"

Sniz says: "Now, for the interesting part! Do we have ANY volunteers for the Steps of Knowledge?" Daggett THINKS about it, and opens his mouth, but Po quickly whispers to Daggett: "Look, I think you should work with Bulma, and SEE if she's on the up and up!" Daggett seriously says: "You're NOT serious?!" And Po nods in the affirmative! Daggett groans and says: "Fine! BULMA and I will volunteer!" Bulma seriously says: "REALLY?!" (Confessional) Bulma says: "It's about time SOMEONE realized who the MOST valuable member on this TEAM is! I mean, SERIOUSLY people!" (End Confessional) Chameleon says: "I think Bubble Bass and I are the MOST artistically inclined contestants on our team, so WE'LL volunteer for this challenge!" Bubble Bass blushes, smiles, and says: "Thank you!" (Confessional) Bubble Bass chuckles, and he says: "Truth be told, Blonda DOES frequently tell me I am the very MODEL of a perfect artistic model! But painting myself? That WOULD be interesting to see how that turns out! Not to mention, if I make money from my work, it WOULD provide Rube with a good foundation for his EVENTUAL college education!" / Chameleon says: "Being what I am, I find it easy to express whatever I'm feeling at any given moment! So with that in mind, I hope Bubble Bass and I will be able to USE our combined talents to win THIS challenge for our teams!" (End Confessional) Treeflower sighs, and she says: "I CAN'T believe I'm saying this; but...I want Spongebob to team up with me, and HELP me answer all the questions on the Steps of Knowledge!" Gerald fights HARD to hold in a laugh, but he instantly says: "HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! HUH, HO, HO, HO, HO, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! OH MY! OH, IT HURTS!!!! HA, HA! HA, HA, HA, HA!" Treeflower says: "And WHAT'S so funny about THAT?!" Gerald stops laughing and he says: "Treeflower; we all KNOW you too well! And WE all know, your unbridled egotism, would NEVER willingly stop you from trying to answer at least ONE question when Spongebob ISN'T in one of 'THOSE' moods!" Spongebob asks: "He means the rare moments I actually DO get angry, doesn't he?" Wally says: "You catch on FAST, Spongebob!"

Treeflower says: "You honestly THINK I CAN'T let Spongebob answer all the questions WILLINGLY?!" Gerald says: "That's what I'm SAYING!" Treeflower says: "Why don't we make it INTERESTING, then? You ARE cool, but let's see if you're smart AND brave, to! If YOU'RE right, I will WILLINGLY vote myself off if our teams lose the challenge arena! But if I'M right, YOU have to willingly vote yourself off if our teams lose the challenge arena!" Gerald scoffs, and he says: "You'll JUST use the Immunity Pendant to keep yourself SAFE!" Treeflower says: "On the contrary, I'm doing NOTHING of the sort! But just so YOU believe it; I'm giving the Immunity Pendant BACK to Spongebob!" And she hands the Immunity Pendant to him! Spongebob's eyes widen up, and he says: "Are YOU serious?!" Treeflower sighs, and she says: "I TRIED playing it Tigress' way; it DOESN'T work, at ALL! At least THIS way, I get a little bit of respect back!" Spongebob's eyes well up, and he says: "You DO care!" Treeflower sighs, and she says: "I know, let's just get this over with!" Gerald says: "Okay; you've got ME convinced! Besides, how could I pass THIS opportunity up?!" Larry says: "Gerald, I honestly wouldn't! I mean, you ARE putting yourself at risk with this deal!" Gerald sighs, and says: "Probably! But even if the unlikely DOES happen, I'll STILL be the one who managed to take TREEFLOWER out of the game!" (Confessional) Gerald says: "I've been WAITING for the moment to PROVE I'm the coolest contestant on this show! And eliminating Treeflower? That would be the COOLEST thing EVER...even if I wind up eliminated myself! I'll STILL get a small piece of immortality that way! How many other people can say THAT?!" / Spongebob looks at the Immunity Pendant, and he says: "After all this time, Treeflower has FINALLY learned to be selfless ALL on her own. I just WISH she could've realized the truth sooner, or REALIZED that all she needed to realize it, was for me to TELL her! I guess that's why some people DO have the phrase, 'Poor Communication Kills'...or 'Eliminates', as the case may be!" / Treeflower sighs, and says: "I KNOW this is the right thing to do; doesn't make it FEEL any less AWFUL having to wait for the OTHER shoe to fall!" (End Confessional)

Gerald says: "Very well, than! We have a deal!" And they both shake each other's hands! Buhdeuce says: "You know, there IS such a thing as being TOO confidant!" Gerald says: "If it makes you FEEL any better, you can do the Steps of Knowledge with me!" Buhdeuce sighs, and says: "I better! I need to put my video game skills to SOME good use!" Sniz says: "Okay! We've got our volunteers, and Olmec's got knowledge to share! So, let's listen to The Legend Of The Lost Sketch Book of Leonardo Da Vinci! Just don't confuse HIM for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!"

Olmec says: "On April 15, 1452; Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, more commonly known as Leonardo Da Vinci, was born in the town of Vinci, in the Italian region of Tuscany. Leonardo would rise to fame as an Italian polymath during the High Renaissance; active as a painter, engineer, theorist, sculptor, and architect! While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he also became known for his notebooks; one of which is the Legendary Lost Sketchbook! These notebooks, are where Da Vinci made drawings and notes on several subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and paleontology! At the age of 14, Da Vinci was educated in Florence, in the studio of Italian painter and sculptor Andrea del Verrocchio. It was there Da Vinci experienced and mastered his many skills, including drafting, metal working, plaster casting, leather working, mechanics, woodwork, and modeling! Da Vinci eventually went into service, working for Ludovico Moran in Milan. During the time Da Vinci was alive, he eventually began to gather a large gathering of students and imitators, who called themselves the Leonardeschi! Among Da Vinci's better known works, are his Vitruvian Man drawing made around 1490, The Last Supper made between 1492 through 1498, and the iconic Mona Lisa, made between 1503 through 1516, famously modeled by Lisa del Giocondo! Da Vinci also conceptualized flying machines, an armored fighting vehicle, concentrated solar power, and the double hull! Da Vinci made substantial discoveries in civil engineering, geology, hydrodynamics, and optics; but due to the technology of the time being unable to feasibly reproduce his sketches, he did not publish any of his sketches during his life-time. Leonardo Da Vinci passed away in the town of Ambiose, in the Kingdom of France, on May 2, 1519; most likely, due to a stroke. While as many as 13,000 pages of notebook have been rediscovered and are currently on display, the Legendary Lost Sketch Book of Leonardo Da Vinci was lost to the mists of time, until it found its way to the Temple! Your job is to retrieve the Legendary Lost Sketch Book of Leonardo Da Vinci and bring it back here!" Sniz says: "Thanks, Olmec! Where can the Legendary Lost Sketch Book of Leonardo Da Vinci be found?" Olmec says: "The Lost Sketch Book can be found within the Roman Catacombs!"

Sniz says: "All right! You know the drill! You will answer questions! And Orange Iguanas and Purple Parrots, if either of you make it down the Steps of Knowledge first, you will receive an Immunity Pendant of Life! The other team will have to try to find theirs, in the Challenge Arena! Olmec, take it away!" Olmec asks: "When and where was Leonardo Da Vinci born?" Chameleon rings in, and Bubble Bass says: "On April 15, 1452 in the town of Vinci, in the Region of Tuscany!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Orange Iguanas move down a step! Gerald confidently says: "It won't be LONG, now!" Olmec asks: "While Da Vinic mastered many skills, what was it THAT he was called, that defined his abilities?" Spongebob rings in, and he says: "As an Italian polymath!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down a step! Gerald actually LOOKS stunned, and he says: "Okay, guess I better step up to the game!" Buhdeuce rhetorically says: "You THINK?!" Olmec asks: "At what age, and in which city, did Leonardo Da Vinci receive his education?" Gerald rings in, and he says: "At the age of 14, in the city of Florence, Italy!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down a step! Gerald says: "Perhaps you need a little INCENTIVE to act like your TRUE self, Treeflower!" Treeflower briefly looks at him, but shakes her head; breathes, and calmly says: "I shall NOT be moved! Though I am made to walk through the valley of death, I shall fear NO evil!" Daggett asks Bulma: "Are we--?" And Bulma answers, as if already KNOWING what it will be; she says: "Nope! We're staying OUT of this one! Let THEM wear themselves out, and keep ourselves OUT of THIS conflict!" Daggett says: "Good call!" Olmec asks: "In which studio did Leonardo Da Vinci study in?" Chameleon rings in and Bubble Bass answers: "In the studio of Italian painter and sculptor Andrea del Verrocchio!" Olmec says: "That is correct!"

And the Orange Iguanas move down a step! Gerald turns to Buhdeuce, and Gerald excitedly says: "She's GOING to do it! She's GOING to lose her COOL!" But Treeflower surprisingly DOESN'T, and Olmec asks: "What exactly, did Leonardo's students and imitators call themselves during Leonardo Da Vinci's life-time?" Spongebob rings in and answers: "They called themselves the Leonardeschi!" Olmec asks: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down a step! Gerald is ACTUALLY beginning to sweat and panic, and he turns to Buhdeuce, and Gerald nervously asks: "WHY isn't Treeflower freaking OUT?!!!" Buhdeuce rhetorically answers: "Maybe her INTENTION of LETTING Spongebob answer every question was GENUINE?!" Gerald says: "She's GOT to FREAK out! She ALWAYS freaks out!" Buhdeuce says: "That's STUPID!" Gerald says: "I'll PROVE it!" Buhdeuce says: "Oh, you don't HAVE to prove it; I believe you're being STUPID!" Olmec asks: "When was Da Vinci's drawing, of the Vitruvian Man, believed to be made?" Gerald rings in and answers: "Around 1490!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down a step! Treeflower says: "You know; you can STILL call off this deal right now! I don't CARE if I lose!" Gerald says: "But I need YOU to freak out! How can I POSSIBLY call myself cool if I can't make you do what you ALWAYS do?!" Buhdeuce says: "Has it EVER occurred to you that people can ACTUALLY change?!" Gerald asks: "Are you CRAZY?! If Treeflower has ACTUALLY changed...that would mean I would ACTUALLY be in TROUBLE!!!!" And Bulma merely yawns as if BORED by the whole ordeal. Olmec asks: "Who was the model, for the famous painting of the Mona Lisa?" Chameleon rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "Lisa del Giocondo!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Orange Iguanas move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "You did it, Orange Iguanas! You've won an Immunity Pendant! Who's going to keep it?" Chameleon says: "I might have done the ringing, but Bubble Bass gave all the answers! He should be the one to get it!" Sniz says: "Very well! Bubble Bass, the Immunity Pendant is yours! Use it wisely!"

Gerald groans, and he says: "Come on, Treeflower; why didn't you FREAK OUT?!" Treeflower calmly says: "Maybe I'm NOT as predictable as you THOUGHT I was?! Good job, by the way, Spongebob! Your knowledge will take you far!" Spongebob genuinely says: "Thank you Treeflower!" (Confessional) Gerald nervously says: "This is a bad DREAM!!!! It HAS to be! How else do you explain Treeflower NOT losing her cool when she LOST?! She's GOT to freak out during the Challenge Arena! I HAVE to prevail! I'm the GOOD guy!" / Bulma chuckles to herself, and she says: "Today is working quite well for me. Not ONLY is Treeflower SEALING her own fate, but Gerald is LOSING his own COOL; and by 'Cool', I mean his composure! Meanwhile, I'm all relaxed, and ready to FIND the Purple Parrot's Immunity Pendant in the Challenge Arena!" / Daggett says: "Yeah, I know the REAL reason Bulma WANTS to conserve her energy. But I'm not freaked out! I mean; Immunity Pendants for the Purple Parrots will ONLY save Bulma until the team merge! After that, all bets are OFF!" / Chameleon excitedly says: "YES!!!! I KNEW our artistic inclinations would translate into a challenge win! Thank you, Bubble Bass!" / Bubble Bass looks at his Immunity Pendant, and says: "Professional Painter Bubble Bass...I like the way it rolls off my tongue!" / Treeflower breathes a deep sigh of relief, and she says: "So much for the EASY part! Now comes the REAL challenge!" / Spongebob says: "Even if it doesn't look like it, I know this has GOT to be one of the hardest things Treeflower has ever done! But if this experience DOES help her become a better woman, it will ALL be worth it!" / Buhdeuce shakes his head, and he says: "Gerald, you REALLY could've avoided this mess if you HADN'T tempted fate!" (End Confessional)

Sniz says: "All right! It's time for the Challenge Arena! For this challenge, our inspiration is the painting of The Last Supper! During ANY meal, you expect to find a lot of food there, especially if it involves 13 people! Therefore, each team will have to throw as many prop foods as they can, which will represent actual food, into the giant cornucopia on the other side of the arena! Think of it like basketball! The two combined teams that make the most baskets, will get to perform a Temple Run, as well as get a chance to earn a reward! That's right! It's another Reward AND Elimination Challenge this time! Johnny Krill, tell the contestants what they can win!" Johnny Krill says: "Whoever completes the Temple Run; they and a guest of their choice will receive an all-expenses paid dinner at the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as a performance of The Cirque Du Solei show, The Beatles Love! The Mirage; visit it BEFORE it LITERALLY becomes a mirage, and a Hard Rock Cafe Casino!" Fee says: "That sounds like fun, Harvey! You ought to try and WIN that, for us!" Harvey says: "Well, I'll certainly do my best!" Gerald scoffs, and he says: "No BEAVER is going to make ME look like a fool!" Daggett says: "Of course not! You're DOING a pretty good job of that, yourself!" Gerald says: "Like I'm actually WORRIED about YOUR chances! You don't even register on my threat list! Treeflower is going DOWN; one way or another!" (Confessional) Daggett shakes his head, and he says: "Even I can tell what's going to happen; Gerald's efforts will ONLY lead to trouble, and NOT in his favor!" / Harvey says: "I'm pretty sure that if I win the reward, Fee and I will need a chaperone; but STILL, getting to do SOMETHING fun with Fee would be WORTH the challenge!" / Gerald chuckles, and he says: "Treeflower doesn't know this yet, but I FEEL like I might make some 'Accidents', when I make my throws!" (End Confessional)

Sniz says: "One more thing! Green Monkeys, you will have to sit one of your own, out!" Spongebob says: "Treeflower, I think you've proven yourself ENOUGH for one day!" Treeflower asks: "Are you sure?" Spongebob says: "Treeflower, you've given your Immunity Pendant to me, let me answer all the questions, and you didn't lose your cool, once. If that doesn't prove you've changed, I don't know WHAT does! And win or lose, I just want you to know, I WON'T vote you off; and THAT'S a promise!" Treeflower sighs in contentment, and Treeflower says: "Okay, I'll sit this one out!" (Confessional) Gerald says: "Darn it! Treeflower lucked out! At this point, the only way I can win is through sheer SKILL! It's all, or nothing now!" / Spongebob says: "I know Gerald is FAR from appreciative from my offer; but I HAD to step in! I think Treeflower has suffered ENOUGH from this episode as it is!" / Treeflower says: "Even after all the times I let my ego get the better of me, Spongebob STILL isn't willing to vote me off! Maybe Spongebob genuinely IS that nice and honest!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Okay! Everybody into positions; we'll put three minutes on the clock! And for added fun, we're going to play Weird Al Yankovic's Eat It to get you in the mood! On your marks, get set, GO!" /

During the montage; Gerald keeps TRYING his best to make baskets, but due to the odd shapes of the food props, he is unable to figure out the best grip, and keeps missing most of his throws, while Keswick misses due to his small stature and lack of muscle strength! / Weird Al sings: "How come you're always such a fussy young man? Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran! Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan? So eat it, just eat it! Don't wanna argue, I don't wanna debate! Don't wanna hear about what kind of food you hate! You won't get no dessert 'til you clean off your plate! So eat it! Don't you tell me you're full! Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it! Get yourself an egg and beat it! Have some more chicken, have some more pie! It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried! Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it! Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh! Your table manners are a cryin' shame! You're playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game! Now, if you starve to death, you'll just have yourself to blame! So eat it, just eat it! (BURP!) You better listen, better do what you're told! You haven't even touched your tuna casserole! (OOH!) You better chow down or it's gonna get cold! So eat it! I don't care if you're full! Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it! Open up your mouth and feed it! Have some more yogurt, have some more spam! It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned! Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it! Don't you make me repeat it! Have a banana, have a whole bunch! It doesn't matter what you had for lunch! Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it! Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it! (Guitar solo) Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it! If it's gettin' cold, reheat it! Have a big dinner, have a light snack! If you don't like it, you can't send it back! Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it! Get yourself an egg and beat it! (Oh, lord!) Have some more chicken, have some more pie! It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried! Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it! Don't you make me repeat it! (Oh, no!) Have a banana, have a whole bunch! It doesn't matter what you had for lunch! Just eat it!" /

And the song ends as the challenge ends as time runs out! Sniz says: "Okay, time is over! Time to reveal who made the most baskets! The Purple Parrots and Orange Iguanas made 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 baskets! The Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars made 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 36 baskets! The Purple Parrots and Orange Iguanas are going to the Temple!" Sandy sighs, and says: "So close, yet SO far away!" Sniz says: "Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars, your fates will be decided soon! First, it's time to determine who will do the Temple Run!" Daggett says: "I've never gotten to do the Temple Run yet; I'll go first!" Harvey says: "Same thing for me, I'm running for both myself, AND Fee!" Sniz says: "All right! Map will bring up today's layout of the Temple, while Olmec explains how to get through it!" Map says: "On it, Sniz!" And Map's visual information fills in as Olmec narrates! Olmec says: "First, enter the Temple by running into The Mummy's Crypt! Pull on the Correct Tablet, but beware of a Temple Guard! Next, head to the Ledge, knock over the column, and head up into the Bell Tower! Ring the bell, and climb down into Medusa's Lair! Place the snake hairs into Medusa, and head into the Hall of Armor! Place yourself into the correct suit of armor, than head into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the Monkey in the correct order, than head into the Emperor's Chamber! Smash the clay pots to find the key, which will allow you to head down the slide into the Mine Pit! Smash through the Stone Wall, and head into the Wrecked Shipyard! Spin the correct ship wheel, and head into the Roman Catacombs, where you can find the Lost Sketchbook of Leonardo Da Vinci! Push the correct mouth of the correct stone gargoyle, and head into the Room of Mayan Paintings! Place yourself against the correct painting, than, head back through the Pit! Than climb through the Sea Cave, and back to the Temple Entrance! If you bring back the Lost Sketchbook of Leonarda Da Vinci, you will receive the all-expenses paid dinner at the Mirage Casino, and a showing of The Cirque Du Solei show of The Beatles Love! The choices are yours and yours alone! Good luck!" Sniz says: "You heard him! Daggett, it's time to show what a beaver can do! Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

Sniz narrates the action, as Map keeps track of the contestant's action in the lower left hand corner of the screen! / Sniz says: "Daggett heads into the Mummy's Crypt, and a Temple Guard right off the bat! He gives up his pendant, and he's found the right tablet! Onto the Ledge, he's swinging, and he's knocked down the column! Up he climbs into the Bell Tower! He's ringing the Bell, and he opens up the path into Medusa's Lair! Down he climbs...another Temple Guard! Go Harvey, go! Through the Mummy's Crypt, across the Ledge, up to the Bell Tower! Now he's down in Medusa's Lair, just got to fit the snake's into the right place! He's done it! Into the Hall of Armor! He's just got to find the right suit! One of the suit's was possessed by Johnny Krill as a Temple Guard! He gives up his Pendant! He's found the right suit of armor! Into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Smart move grabbing BOTH the Base and the Chest! He's put them together, now for the Head! The door's open! Into the Emperor's Chamber! Just got to smash the clay pots to find the key! He's got it! He's opened up the slide! Down he goes into the Mine Pit! He's smashed through the Stone Wall! He's in the Wrecked Shipyard! Just got to find the right ship wheel...he's found it! Into the Roman Catacombs...he's got the Lost Sketchbook! All the doors are open! Through the Room of Mayan Paintings, through the Pit, up through the Sea Cave...he's made it out with 15 seconds to spare! Congratulations, Harvey; you and a guest of your choice will get the all-expenses paid dinner at the Mirage Casino, as well as the Cirque Du Solei Show of The Beatles Love! Who are you going to take?!" Harvey says: "It's got to be Fee! I don't know WHO else I would choose!" Sniz says: "Well, in THAT case, you will BOTH need a chaperone! Chameleon, will you PLEASE change into Harvey's father so they can have a PROPER chaperone?" Chameleon says: "I sound nothing LIKE him, but I will!" And Chameleon transforms into the exact likeness of Harvey's father! Chameleon says: "Okay, you're going to have to tell me HOW to act like YOUR father, Harvey!" Harvey says: "Oh, he's fair, and permissive." Chameleon says: "Okay...I can work with that!" Sniz says: "While those three enjoy themselves, it's time for the Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars to decide WHICH of their own, they will be eliminating at tonight's Elimination Ceremony!"

(Confessional) Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Just for the record, I WILL be using the Immunity Pendant on myself, but NOT for the reason you might THINK I would!" / Treeflower says: "Well, at least I didn't lose my cool. Probably won't stop at least SOMEONE from voting me off anyways!" / Stimpy says: "Even though Treeflower kept HER end of the deal, I'm afraid ONE good day doesn't make up for the rest of this season...at least, not for me! I'm sorry, but I STILL have to vote her off!" / Gerald groans, and he nervously says: "Oh, that's it MAN! Game over, man! GAME OVER!" / Marlene says: "I'm ONLY voting off Treeflower and Gerald out of convenience! It's nothing personal on my part!" / Larry shakes his head, and he says: "Gerald, you SO shouldn't have tempted fate!" / Keswick says: "Look, if I DON'T vote off Treeflower, than I'll probably wind up being the one who goes! I have my OWN game to think about to, you know!" / Sandy sighs, and she says: "Having to vote off Gerald? Yeah, that will hurt. At least we'll be able to get rid of the threat that IS Treeflower, so it won't be a TOTAL loss!" / Buhdeuce says: "As cool as Gerald has been, there IS a difference between being cool, and being useful! And sorry, Gerald; but you just weren't useful! And neither was Treeflower!" / Wally and Future Adult Rube are together. Wally says: "So, the plan is that we're going to vote off Treeflower and Gerald tonight, right?" Rube says: "Right, but we'll do so respectfully, and with NO intent of malice!" Wally says: "That sounds pretty good, as far as I'm concerned!" (End Confessional) It is night-time, and the Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars, are at the Elimination Ceremony! Sniz says: "My, my; how QUICKLY the tables can turn! The Green Monkeys and the Red Jaguars, once seemingly unstoppable juggernauts, will soon be diminished to a mere six and four contestants respectively! You know the drill! Cast your votes, and hope that you will receive a Chocolate Pendant of Life! Whoever doesn't, must board the Mine Cart of Shame, and go through the Mine Shaft of Loser's! That means you are out of the contest, and you can never come back; EVER! And, we do have a couple of Immunity Pendants out there! So with that being said, VOTE!"

And the contestants make their choices, with Spongebob breathing a deep sigh as he makes HIS vote! Sniz says: "Voting is over, so it's time--." Buhdeuce says: "Hold it! Just to make SURE Treeflower doesn't try one LAST funny thing, I'm playing my Immunity Pendant on myself!" And Spongebob breathes a sigh of relief! Sniz says: "The Immunity Pendant is real, that means all votes cast for Buhdeuce will NOT count! Now--." Spongebob says: "I'm ALSO playing an Immunity Pendant, because I cast a vote for myself!" Treeflower is ASTOUNDED, and she says: "You CAST a vote ON yourself?!" Spongebob says: "Nothing in the RULES say that you CAN'T cast a vote on yourself, especially if you intend to nullify it with an Immunity Pendant!" Sniz says: "It's true! That is a PERFECTLY legal move, so all votes cast for Spongebob, INCLUDING his own, will not count! So, it's time to reveal who's safe! Obviously, Spongebob! Sandy, Stimpy, Pearl, Marlene, Larry, Obviously Buhdeuce! Wally, Rube!" The camera pans to Treeflower, Gerald, and Keswick, as they are the only contestants left! Sniz says: "Contestants, this IS the final Chocolate Pendant of Life!" Gerald crosses his fingers for good luck and closes his eyes, Treeflower just sighs in sadness as if to prepare for the inevitable, and Keswick just looks unconcerned. Sniz finally shouts: "Keswick!" And Keswick breathes a sigh of relief! Gerald say: "Oh, MAN! I can't believe you voted me off!" Pearl says: "To be fair, it's not like we had a lot of OTHER viable options!" Keswick says: "Besides, coolness can only take you so far! If you want to get far in life, you need knowledge!" Treeflower sighs, and she says: "And I know why I lost; I didn't show enough compassion, that's why I failed. Spongebob, thank you for showing me where I was wrong. I'll repay you the favor...someday." Spongebob says: "Don't even worry about it." Sniz says: "Treeflower, Gerald; the time has come! Put on a helmet, and strap yourselves in!" Gerald says: "This better not mess up MY hair!" Treeflower says: "After ALL the unnecessary anger I've displayed, I think that my hair-do will be the LEAST of my worries!" They put on their helmets, and strap themselves in! Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!"

And Treeflower and Gerald head down the Mine Rails, and through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Sniz says: "And than, there were 20! We are now officially half-way through this half-season, but the double eliminations are NOT over yet! Will the four teams SOON find themselves diminished to three? And if so, how will they fare in their NEW set-ups? Be sure to tune in next-time, for a globe-connecting episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "It will be an energizing experience!" / Stinger: Chameleon (disguised as Harvey's Dad), Harvey, and Fee, are enjoying their dinner at one of the many restaurants in the Mirage Casino, and they're being served by none other than Gordon Quid! Fee says: "HEY! Weren't you the owner of the KFC that Rube and Wally went to?" Gordon says: "I was, until Tony Hawk came along!" Harvey asks: "What does HE have to do with anything?" Gordon says: "He was SO impressed by Otto's stunts, he decided to pay OFF the remainder of what Otto owed me to fix that roof! In fact, he overpaid; so I decided it was as good of a time as any to sell that restaurant; and head to this more exotic pasture, to use a metaphor! And I am now the head chef for THIS restaurant!" Chameleon says: "That's good to know! But...did you EVER get the feeling that someone was about to CRASH in on us?!" And just a FEW seconds after he says that; Treeflower and Darwin EXIT out of the portal, but are unable to STOP themselves in time, as they crash THROUGH the wooden fence of Gordon's restaurant! Gordon yells: "NOT AGAIN!!!!" Gerald says: "Come on! You can HARDLY blame this on US! We have no CONTROL on where that portal takes us!" Treeflower says: "Besides, I AM a beaver! I can EASILY build a NEW wooden fence for you in NOTHING, flat!" Gordon excitedly says: "Would you do that for us?!" Treeflower smiles, and she says: "It would be my PLEASURE!" /

Episode Notes: Future Rube decides to change his appearance, so that he now sports bubbles like his father. Treeflower gives the Green Monkeys Immunity Pendant back to Spongebob, which he uses in order to nullify his OWN vote for himself! First time Harvey has run, and won a Temple Run!

Personal Notes: My main goal for this season, is to show the difference between ambition, and contentment. While there is nothing wrong with a LITTLE ambition, there DOES come a point where too much of it becomes a detriment rather than an asset! The main reason Treeflower came back for this season, was because she needed to REALIZE that she was being TOO ambitious, and forgetting how to be compassionate! Because Spongebob helped her find her way again, she was able to leave with at least a little more respect than when she started. Meanwhile, Gerald's whole character persona, revolved around him being cool. But when you put him in a situation that takes that away from him, you're left with little more than a nervous wreck, and once their character arcs were resolved, there was nothing left for them on this show, which is why they got the shaft this time around! I hope you enjoyed reading this episode as much as I did writing it! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

I've got a long re-run, so I'll just get right to it! / Sniz is standing on top of the Steps Of Knowledge, and he says: "Last time on Total Cartoon Legends, we were down to 22 contestants. Desperate to even the odds in their favor, Daggett DELIBERATELY decided to make Treeflower, the target of the Purple Parrots' antagonism! Not only that, it actually WORKED! However, Treeflower eventually realized, much like Tigress; that winning wasn't worth it, if she lost all of her respect in the process. In order to prove herself to her team, she decided to give Spongebob BACK the Immunity Pendant he gave her, and allow him to answer all the questions during the challenge about Leonardo Da Vinci! Gerald was SO confidant Treeflower wouldn't follow through on HER end of the deal, that he made a bet to vote himself off, if Treeflower lost her cool! To EVERYONE'S surprise, especially Gerald, she DIDN'T! The Orange Iguanas and Purple Parrots won the challenge, with Harvey, Fee, and Chameleon sharing the reward; while both Treeflower and Gerald ended exiting out of the Mine Shaft, after having to face the Elimination Ceremony. Now, we are down to 20 contestants. And while we have four mighty teams, they will soon be diminished to three. One team is about to have their final day in the sun, as this challenge will LITERALLY join one team's contestants, with the others! Who will link the rails, and who will have to ride off into the sunset? Find out for yourself on this globe-linking episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Train leaving on track five, for Anaheim, Azusa, and Cucamonga!" / Instead of the normal show open, it shows a montage of all the remaining contestants, and all of the action that they have faced so far during this season, to the tune of Kylie Minogue's version of "Locomotion!" /

Kylie Minogue sings: "Everybody's doing a brand new dance now! Come on, baby, do the locomotion! I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now! Come on, baby, do the loco-motion! My little baby sister can do it with ease! It's easier than learning your ABC's! So come on, come on; do the locomotion with me! You gotta swing your hips now! Come on, baby; jump up, jump back! Oh well, I think you got the knack; oh! Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now! Come on, baby, do the locomotion! Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now! Come on, baby, do the locomotion! Do it nice and easy now, don't lose control! A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul! So come on, come on; do the locomotion with me! The locomotion! Come on, come on; the locomotion! Come on, come on; the locomotion! Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on! Move around the floor in a locomotion! Come on, baby, do the locomotion! Do it holding hands, if you got the notion! Come on, baby, do the loco-motion! There's never been a dance that's so easy to do! It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue! So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me! You gotta swing your hips now! Come on, baby; jump up, jump back! Oh well, I think you got the knack; oh! Do the loco, do the loco, do the loco, the locomotion! Come on, baby, do the locomotion! Do the loco, do the loco, do the loco, the locomotion! Come on, baby, do the locomotion! Do it nice and easy now, don't lose control! A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul! So come on, come on, do the locomotion! Come on, come on, do the locomotion! Come on, come on, Do the locomotion with me! Come on, come on; the loco-motion! Come on, come on; The locomotion! Come on, come on; the locomotion! Come on, come on; the locomotion! Come on, come on; the locomotion! Come on, come on, come on, come on!" / And the montage and song ends! /

"The Legend Of The Golden Spike of the Transcontinental Railroad!" / It is still night-time. The camera shifts to inside the hotel being shared by the remaining Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars, and it shifts into the room being shared by Wally and Future Rube. Wally is giving Future Rube a nice, relaxing massage! Future Rube says: "You know Wally, before I met you, I never would've thought that it was possible that RECEIVING love, could feel as good as giving it! But you constantly find ways to SURPRISE me! I mean, you're like the best aspects of pop musicians Prince and Sting, rolled into one!" Wally says: "You think THAT'S amazing? What's really amazing, is that I've never had an opportunity to use ANYTHING of what I've done with you, with anyone else before!" Future Rube asks: "Seriously?! From what I've felt from YOUR experience, I would've guessed that you were a master!" Wally says: "When I'm with you, I FEEL like a master!" Future Rube says: "I suppose than, that my decision to come to the past was the right decision after all. I mean, if I HADN'T; you might have never found someone like ME, to share your LOVE with; and I never would've FOUND the one guy who constantly finds ways to AMAZE me, while also being nice!" Wally says: "What can I say? I guess I'm just trying to make up for the time we'll be apart! It might have been, and will be a short trip for you; but it's going to be a long wait for me! I guess I just want to give you something to REMEMBER me by!" Future Rube says: "You don't need to WORRY about that, you already HAVE, as far as I'm concerned! From now on, everything else is just ICING on the CAKE!" Wally asks: "Ooh, what KIND of cake?!" Future Rube says: "Who cares?! It's CAKE!!!!" Wally says: "True enough!" Future Rube says: "Okay! I think that's enough for one night! I think we ought to get some rest! After all; I'm pretty sure we're going to have a challenge soon!" Wally sighs contentedly, and he says: "Speaking of, our team numbers ARE getting pretty small. You think something might happen soon?"

Future Rube says: "Now that you mention it, I think you're right! I mean, with the numbers we currently HAVE, Sniz is probably thinking FOUR teams might be too many! Depending on what the next challenge is, one team might find themselves absorbed into the other ones!" Wally asks: "You don't think it will be OUR team, do you, Rube?" Future Rube says: "I highly doubt it. After all, we STILL have six members! Every other team has less than us! If any team gets dissolved, it will either be the Orange Iguanas or the Purple Parrots. That being said, it all depends on how good, or bad, each contestant does within their teams. After all, I don't have any idea on what's going to happen, anymore than you do. All we can do is try our best, and stay in the game together for as long as we can!" Wally says: "As far as I'm concerned, getting to stay in the game with YOU; that is a GREAT reward as far as I'm concerned!" Future Rube says: "And likewise, I think the same thing about YOU!" Wally looks out the window, and he SEES Bulma sneaking her way to the Confessional! Wally says: "Speaking of THINKING; why do YOU think Bulma is sneaking off to use the Confessional THIS late?!" Future Rube THINKS about it, and he sighs, and says: "There can be only ONE explanation; Bulma FOUND an Immunity Pendant for the Purple Parrots during the last challenge!" Wally asks: "How do you THINK she found it?!" Future Rube says: "Does it matter? If Bulma HAS an Immunity Pendant, that's going to put ANY team that gets put up with the Purple Parrots at a disadvantage! Bulma can keep herself safe, but since we can't get an Immunity Pendant until the next challenge, we can't AFFORD to be placed with the Purple Parrots!" Wally asks: "So, what do you think we should do?" Future Rube says: "We'll have to try and get teamed up with the Red Jaguars! That will be our best bet for keeping out of trouble! After all, with their numbers down to four, they will WANT to keep themselves safe from the Purple Parrots, just as much as WE will!" Wally says: "Good call!"

(Confessional) Bulma smiles, and pulls out the Purple Parrots Immunity Pendant! Bulma says: "It took some digging around, but I found MY Immunity Pendant, hidden in the basket where all the food props were being stored! Now, the only question remaining is; which team should I target? Even for a genius such as myself, it's not an easy call to make! But I feel that the EASIEST targets would be Harvey and Fee! If our team targets Fee, there's no WAY Harvey would be able to continue the game without her! Not only would I eliminate TWO Orange Iguanas with ONE elimination, it would keep MY team safe as a result! I'm SO clever, I amaze myself!" / Wally says: "Now that the Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars are down to who they are, I feel pretty safe working with ANY of them, towards getting to the team merge! After all, none of us are going to WANT to vote any of our own off unless they absolutely HAVE to! Spongebob PROVED that himself when he VOTED himself and Buhdeuce, DESPITE the fact that he KNEW that he and Buhdeuce would play the Immunity Pendants they had! In fact, I'm pretty sure that's WHY he did it; so that his votes wouldn't COUNT! I'm not sure I completely AGREE with the strategy, but you definitely have to admire his thought process behind it!" / Future Rube says: "Regardless of what happens, I feel like Wally is ALREADY a winner in MY books! He is AMAZING to me!" (End Confessional) It is early morning, and the remaining Red Jaguars are gathered in the hotel lobby room. Sandy sighs, and she says: "Guys, and fellow girl; I'm afraid there's no more easy choices for us to make in these future eliminations. We HAVE to do something unpopular; we're going to HAVE to try to team up with the Green Monkeys, in order to get RID of two contestants on the Orange Iguanas and Purple Parrots!" Buhdeuce asks: "But what if someone gets eliminated, that we actually like?!"

Larry says: "Well, there would be simply no WAY for us to know that, unless you're WILLING to be in an Elimination Ceremony with them, WITHOUT an Immunity Pendant! Besides, our team NEEDS a win BADLY!" Pearl says: "I agree! I didn't come THIS far in these challenges, just to lose BEFORE the Team Merge again!" Sandy says: "And my vote makes three! Are you with us, Buhdeuce?" Buhdeuce sighs and says: "All right. I'm with you! But I'm not DOING this BECAUSE I want to become more popular with YOU; I'm doing this because I think it's what Sway-Sway would do if he were in MY position!" Larry says: "Just so long as you do it, that's all that matters to us!" (Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "The feeling I get, is that if I don't go along with what everyone else is planning; the chances are WAY too high that they would turn around and try to vote me off; even AFTER all the great victories I've achieved for all of them! I could get ALL the way to the Final Four, and I STILL think they wouldn't give me the level of respect they give to each other! How did I find myself to be the ONLY contestant on the Red Jaguars, NOT from Spongebob Squarepants? It's just the luck of the draw, I guess!" / Sandy says: "Did I WANT to be put into the position of having to make an unpopular call? Of COURSE not! I mean, I don't think Spongebob would necessarily agree with me; but I do think he would like it a LOT, if he DIDN'T have to make another hard voting call; especially since he currently doesn't HAVE an Immunity Pendant to work with! So, I'm thinking of HIS needs; as well as my own!" / Larry says: "Buhdeuce has proven to be FAR more resourceful and useful than any of us were willing to give him credit for; I have to give him THAT much! But all the same; just because I've already won a season of this show, that doesn't meant that I WANT to potentially face an elimination before Buhdeuce has! It's a simple matter of seniority! If Buhdeuce REALLY wants to win, than he's going to HAVE to prove he's a better contestant than me! It would actually be pretty INTERESTING to see if he can do that! Tigress might have let him have an EASY win, but he'll have to do a LOT better against me!"

/ Pearl says: "I was at a REAL disadvantage during the LAST season that I played! When I hit my head, it really CAUSED me to act pretty loopy, and I don't mean 'Life With Loopy'! But now that I have my full mental capacity back, I don't want to be eliminated anytime soon! If I have to vote off another member of my team BEFORE the team merge; Buhdeuce would HAVE to be my first pick! And only because I don't know him as well, as I do Sandy and Larry!" (End Confessional) It is breakfast time in the cafeteria, and the Green Monkeys seem completely relaxed and rested! Marlene sighs contentedly, and says: "Did ANYBODY hear anyone talking loudly last night?" Stimpy looks puzzled, and he asks: "Were we supposed to?" Marlene says: "I sure HOPE not! After all, with Treeflower gone; it was SO quiet, you could've LITERALLY heard a PIN drop!" Spongebob says: "Speaking of drop; now that Treeflower has been dropped from the competition, that means Keswick is now without an alliance partner!" Stimpy says: "But he SIDED with Treeflower before! Do you really WANT him working with us?" Spongebob asks: "Why not? At this point in the game, we all need to work together as much as possible!" Keswick asks: "You're REALLY willing to give me a second chance?!" Spongebob says: "I believe EVERYONE deserves a second chance, as long as they EARN it, first!" Keswick salutes Spongebob, and Keswick says: "On my honor, I won't let you down; Spongebob! I will PROVE that I am the EXACT genius that your alliance needs!" Wally turns to Future Rube, and Wally asks: "Rube, are YOU fine with this?" Future Rube says: "This is SPONGEBOB'S idea that we're talking about! If Spongebob is fine with it; than that's good enough for me! Spongebob hasn't steered us wrong yet!" Wally nods, and he says: "That's very true!"

(Confessional) Marlene sighs contentedly, and she says: "It's AMAZING what a good night's sleep can do for a lady's complexion! All the BAGS that were building underneath my eyes from raising my four penguin/otter pups have FINALLY disappeared!" / Stimpy says: "I suppose the reason I have trouble simply trusting Keswick, is due to the fact that I have personally felt BETRAYED by someone who I thought I could always trust! And...now that my trust has been BETRAYED like that, it has become hard for me to just willingly trust others! If Keswick WANTS my trust, he's going to have to EARN it! It's just that simple!" / Spongebob says: "Now that our team members are down to six, I would MUCH prefer not to HAVE to eliminate anyone else on our team if I don't have to! And I think my best chance for being able to do that, is for ALL of us to be on the same page! I feel confidant that Keswick can pull through for us! I know that he won't let us down!" / Keswick says: "The only reason I initially sided with Treeflower, is that I never thought Spongebob could possibly LAST as long as he has in a season of this nature! But now that he has, it's made me reconsider everything I thought I KNEW about him! If he's THIS competent, than maybe making an alliance with him, would be my best bet to making it to the Final Five! I mean, I've certainly got nothing left to lose by doing so!" / Future Rube says: "The one thing I've learned about Spongebob, due to being around him; is that Spongebob seems to have an endless talent for surprising others! It might be a stretch to say so, but it's kind of like his OWN version of magic! Even so, I know that Spongebob is simply doing, what HE feels is right!" (End Confessional) Harvey Beaks, Fee, and Chameleon walk into the cafeteria, and Dudley rushes to give Chameleon a hug! Dudley says: "Welcome back, buddy!" Chameleon says: "It's good to be back, buddy!" Bubble Bass asks: "So, Harvey and Fee, what did YOU think of The Beatles Love? I've already seen it, but I want to know what YOU thought of it!"

Harvey says: "There was definitely a good usage of choreography, color, music, and staging! It's definitely a show that actually COULD warrant seeing it from a different angle, just to see if you could see SOMETHING you didn't see the second time!" Fee says: "I mostly enjoyed it for the food I was able to eat!" Bubble Bass says: "And here I thought that I sometimes had skewed priorities!" All the contestants hear a gong ring, and Sniz's voice comes over the loud-speakers! Sniz says: "Attention Orange Iguanas and Purple Parrots; Treeflower and Gerald were eliminated at the last Elimination Ceremony! Please report to the Moat to find out about today's challenge, as well as a SURPRISE regarding the team structures! That is all!" Taotie asks: "A surprise? I don't like the SOUND of that!" Po says: "What's there to like about it? With our numbers as small as they are, that could ONLY mean Sniz is planning to DISSOLVE one team, and reduce the teams to three!" Bulma says: "And WE are going to make SURE that it won't be OUR team; right, Yakety?!" Yakety says: "R--WAIT a minute! Why did you spell my NAME like that?!" Bulma asks: "What do you mean?!" Yakety says: "In the sub-titles! That is NOT how you spell my name!" Daggett asks: "Does anyone REALLY care? My plan to eliminate Treeflower WORKED!!!! I feel ALMOST as smart as Taotie, now!" Bulma says: "Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves! And how was I SUPPOSED to know that WASN'T how you spelled your name? I'm not a MIND reader, you know!"

(Confessional) Po says: "Even though Bulma PROBABLY has the LEAST amount of reasons for legitimately STILL being in this competition; the fact of the matter is, we can't afford to FACE an elimination right now! We'll simply have to do our best, and wait for the right opportunity to vote her off!" / Bulma says: "Why does Sniz KEEP hiring Cosmo back?! He just gets everything WRONG; including the name of my best buddy! It's a good thing that I wasn't INTENTIONALLY getting it wrong on purpose, unlike OTHER occasions!" / Yakety asks: "Has everyone REALLY been spelling my NAME wrong this WHOLE time?!" Johnny Krill is with him, and he sighs, and says: "Well, yes." Yakety yells: "FIX IT!!!!" Johnny groans: "FINE...Yakkity!" Yakkity says: "That's BETTER!" / Daggett says: "Bulma's just trying to downplay my usefulness, because I know SHE wants the first prize win, just as much as I do! But if she thinks she can just brush ME to the side; than she is going to be in for a RUDE awakening, when I show her just how resourceful I can be!" (End Confessional) All the contestants suit up into their team colors, and head to the Moat! Sniz says: "Welcome contestants, to what I'm SURE will be one of the most INTERESTING challenges we've had so far in this half-season!" Sandy asks: "Why is that? Am I going to have to face off against Doodlebob AGAIN?!" General Barracuda scoffs, and he says: "You WISH; just like I wish that Nosferatu and The Tattletale Strangler didn't get one shot K.O.'d by Man Ray! But than, not everyone is as strong as I am!" Larry says: "Thank NEPTUNE for that!" Sniz says: "In any case, the contestant numbers on each team, has gotten to a very small point. In fact, once this challenge is over; regardless of who wins or loses, the four teams shall find themselves diminished to three. Needless to say, today's challenge will be the LAST one, where two teams will be working together against two other teams! But first, we need to find out what today's legend is! Olmec, tell us about today's legend!" Olmec says: "Today's legend, is The Legend Of The Golden Spike of the Transcontinental Railroad!"

Sniz says: "All right! And keeping with the theme of railroads; during the golden age of railroad building during the 1800's, engineers would often have to build bridges, to cross rivers, and more occasionally, the wide channels of inland bays! To that end; first, in groups of two, each team must work in tandem to lay down a railroad trestle bridge across the moat, by utilizing the rope pulley system in order to do so! And you WILL be required to make sure each bridge section is securely connected to the last one before you can proceed! Once the railroad trestle bridge has been completely build, the remaining contestants of each team must utilize their own steam power, to get a model train across the railroad trestle bridge. Once all the contestants on each team has gotten across, you must RING the gong pedestal to signify you have finished! As usual, where you finish, will determine which team you will be playing with! Oh, and make SURE you don't fall into the moat, as General Barracuda HAS placed fire urchins on the bottom of the moat!" Buhdeuce asks: "What happens if you TOUCH a fire urchin?" Pearl says: "You DON'T want to know; take my WORD for it!" Sniz says: "And Green Monkeys, you'll have to sit one of your own out for this challenge!" Sandy asks: "What about us? We're down TWO contestants compared to the Green Monkeys!" Sniz says: "Very true! Johnny Krill!" Johnny rushes in, and he asks: "What can I do for you?" Sniz asks: "Would you be willing to work with the Red Jaguars AGAIN for this challenge? We'll pay you EXTRA!" Johnny PRETENDS to think about it, and he says: "Done!" Marlene asks: "Are there any volunteers for NOT doing this challenge?" Stimpy thinks about it, and he says: "I don't feel very confidant about my railroad building skills, especially over a moat filled with fire urchins. I'll sit this one out!" Sniz says: "Very well! And to make sure you get in the MOOD for this train challenge, we will be playing Cat Stevens' version of Peace Train!" Sandy looks at The Purple Parrots, and she says: "We can't let the Purple Parrots wind up with us! Anybody got any suggestions?" Pearl reaches into her purse, and she says: "I've got some bobby pins I can fire at DAGGETT! And believe me, if you STEP on a fire urchin, you're GONNA have a bad time!"

Sandy says: "That will work!" Sniz says: "All right! Marlene and Keswick will serve as the train track builders for the Green Monkeys; Daggett and Yakkity will serve as the train track builders for the Purple Parrots; Chameleon and Dudley will serve as the train track builders for the Orange Iguanas; and Larry and Pearl will serve as the train track builders for the Red Jaguars! Everyone else, will be riding the train! Is everybody ready?!" Keswick says: "As ready as I'LL ever be!" Sniz says: "Than on your marks; get set, GO!!!!" / During the challenge, while The Green Monkeys and The Orange Iguanas stay focused on their train track building, Pearl keeps using a rubber band to fire bobby pins at Daggett, until she eventually HITS Daggett in the head, and sends him FALLING into the Moat, forcing Taotie to fish him out so the challenge can continue! / Cat Stevens sings: "Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come. And I believe it could be, something good has begun! Oh, I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one! And I believe it could be, someday it's going to come! Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train! Oh, peace train take this country, come take me home again! Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come. And I believe it could be, something good has begun! Oh, peace train sounding louder; glide on the peace train! Come on now, peace train! Yes, peace train; holy roller! Come on, everybody; jump upon the peace train! Come on now; peace train! Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too! Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you! Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you! And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true! Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is. Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss? Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train! Oh, peace train take this country, come take me home again!" / And the song and challenge ends as the Green Monkeys and the Red Jaguars manage to be the first to finish the challenge, and they ring their Gong Pedestals first!

Sniz says: "And the challenge is over! The Green Monkeys are going to be teamed up with the Red Jaguars! The Orange Iguanas and the Purple Parrots will be teamed up by default!" Bulma actually LOOKS concerned, and she asks: "Daggett; are you all right?!" Daggett shakes his head, and he says: "What are you TALKING about?! Of course I'm--. (CRACK!!!!) Oh my SPOOT, it HURTS!!!!" Taotie asks: "What hurts?!" Daggett says: "Oh, the humanity, and I'm a BEAVER! Something's wrong with my foot!" Yakkity says: "Hold still, and let us take a LOOK at it!" Po holds Daggett's left foot still, and Bulma holds up a magnifying glass! Bulma winces, and she says: "It's just as I feared; Daggett MUST have stepped on a fire urchin when he fell into the moat!" (Confessional) General Barracuda says: "Stepped on IT?!" General Barracuda pulls down a screen, and runs camera footage of Daggett stepping on a fire urchin, and the aftermath of what happened to the fire urchin! General Barracuda says: "Look at what HAPPENED to Daggett! He was PRACTICALLY dancing on it! Look at the URCHIN'S spines! Broken, broken, broken, gone, gone, broken..." (End Confessional) Bulma says: "Oh, where's a SENZU BEAN when you NEED one?!" Bubble Bass says: "Statistically speaking; healing a foot that has stepped on a fire urchin is a VERY simple matter! First, you have to REMOVE the needle within Daggett's foot--." But Bulma quickly grabs it, and YANKS it, causing Daggett to scream: "OUCH!!!!" Bubble Bass groans, and says: "GRADUALLY!!!! Now I'VE got to work quick, or else the poison will spread! Future Rube, give me some root beer! Pearl, make some gurgling noises!" Pearl winces, but she says: "All right!" And she begins making some water type noises! Daggett asks: "What's this for?" Future Rube winces, as he give Bubble Bass the root beer in a two liter bottle, and Future Rube says: "Oh, THIS is GONNA suck!" Daggett asks: "WHAT'S gonna suck?!" Bubble Bass says: "Taotie, you BETTER hold Daggett REALLY still!"

Daggett asks: "Why does he NEED to hold me really..." (Tinkle!) Daggett screams: "AHHH!!!!" Bubble Bass says: "Hold him still, hold him still...you HAVE to hold him REALLY still!" Taotie sarcastically says: "No! Really, do you think?!" Bulma groans, and she says: "Oh, let ME!!!!" (KONG!!!!) And Bulma knocks Daggett unconscious with a frying pan of doom! Bubble Bass says: "Much better!" (Confessional) Johnny Krill is interviewing Harvey and Fee, and Johnny says: "Stepping on a fire urchin? That sounds kind of NASTY! How in the world do you HEAL something like that?!" Fee blushes, and she whispers to Harvey, and Harvey quietly says: "You pee on it." Johnny says: "That's SO gross!" Fee says: "I KNOW!!!!" (End Confessional) Everyone gets cleaned up, and Bubble Bass washes his fins and he says: "Daggett will be all right, but he's DEFINITELY going to have to stay OFF of his left foot at least a day or so!" Bulma sighs, and she says: "Oh, I suppose I can make him SOME sort of leg sling or something!" Sniz says: "While Bulma takes care of Daggett, I've got to make sure that I get something taken care of! But don't go away! Because we'll be right back with some MORE of Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / After the commercials end, the contestants are making their way to the Steps of Knowledge. Daggett's left foot is now COMPLETELY wrapped in tape bandages, and it is being supported by a small, metal crutch, so that Daggett's left foot DOESN'T touch the ground! Bulma says: "If I had access to my tools back home, I REALLY could've gone all out with you! But all things considered, I STILL did a pretty good job! Don't you feel all better, Daggett?!" Daggett screams: "NO!!!! Because Bubble Bass DIRTIED up my FOOT, for lack of a better word!" Bubble Bass seriously says: "That 'DIRTY', was the only way to NULLIFY the poison that the fire urchin's needle was going to put into your body! Would you have rather DIED from the fire urchin's poison?" Daggett SERIOUSLY thinks about it, and asks: "Is THAT a trick QUESTION?!" Bubble Bass says: "Pick ONE or the OTHER! Besides, we made sure your left foot got completely CLEAN! Besides, you KNOW if I KNEW of a BETTER, non-gross way to save you, I would've done THAT instead!" Daggett rolls his eyes, and deadpan, says: "Thank you; I feel SO much better!"

(Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "Does Daggett HONESTLY think I WANTED to do the nasty thing I did to save him? Of COURSE not! But as a father, I HAVE to know these things! After all, you never know for sure what might just happen! As far as I'm concerned, it's better to HAVE that knowledge and NOT need it, than to need it and NOT have it! And boy, did I NEED that knowledge!" / Daggett scoffs, and says: "Figures! As soon as I feel the SLIGHTEST bit GOOD about my own intelligence and confidence, some SPOOTY thing has to come around and kick me DOWN a peg! I mean, if somebody WAS going to have to do a 'NASTY' on my foot in order to save me, that's SOMETHING I should be WARNED about, TEN YEARS IN ADVANCE; MINIMUM!" / Bulma says: "Even though Daggett's playing ability is SOMEWHAT compromised, I'm STILL going ahead with my plan! If there's one important thing I've learned while growing up, is that you should ALWAYS try to stick BY a commitment if you make one, and ONLY break it off if you have a good REASON to do so! And as far as I'm concerned, Daggett's foot is not a good enough reason for me to break off my commitment to keeping MY team safe!" (End Confessional)

Keswick turns to Spongebob, and Keswick says: "On the off-chance that our team loses, who should we vote off?" Spongebob says: "I NEVER ask that question of myself UNLESS our team actually loses! After all, counting myself, there ARE 20 contestants left in play; that's a LOT of variables to consider! And I NEVER want to target somebody just because I can, that would be wrong!" Stimpy asks: "Than WHY did you treat Squidward SO badly in that recent episode of Spongebob Squarepants?" Spongebob says: "Come ON! You can't FAULT me for that! That episode segment was filmed MONTHS in advance BEFORE coming here! Besides, the only reason I MADE it, was because I was PROMISED by the executives that they WOULDN'T show that episode! WHY do they ALWAYS break their PROMISE to ME?! Don't they have ANY idea that they're not only making ME look bad; but they're making themselves LOOK bad?!" Marlene says: "I hate to break it to you Spongebob; but when it comes right down to it, the only bottom line your executives care about is MONEY! You'd be LUCKY if 'Quality' was even an AFTER THOUGHT for them! How ELSE do you explain why 'Teen Titans Go' was able to stay on the AIR for so long? Even if it only makes a PENNY in profits, that STILL counts as a WIN for them! You ever wonder WHY Harvey Beaks only LASTED two seasons?" Spongebob says: "That DID kind of cross my mind." Marlene says: "It's because Harvey and Fee weren't WILLING to compromise their integrity, for profits!" Spongebob thinks about it, and he says: "Well, at least I now KNOW what I'm going to do with MY share of the money if I win it; I will purchase my OWN stake in my OWN show, so that I can have VETO power over episodes that I don't LIKE!" Wally says: "I sure hope you succeed; the integrity of your show, as well as your loyal fans are COUNTING on it!"

(Confessional) Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Even after 23 YEARS, the studio is STILL not only getting me to STAR in episodes that I KNOW are just going to come off as LOOKING and BEING bad, they're STILL lying to my FACE about releasing them! Do they think I don't KNOW what they're doing?! And the worst part is, if I complain about it and quit, they'll do to me what they did to Ren Hoek; get a look-alike character who LOOKS like me, and have one of my FRIENDS voice me, and the show would get EVEN WORSE! The only way to combat this is with money; and winning this season just MIGHT be the way to do it!" / Keswick says: "As far as playing strategies go; Spongebob's strategy couldn't be anymore different from Treeflower's strategy if you TRIED! Whereas she ALWAYS planned targets; Spongebob actively doesn't WANT to! I actually admire that trait about him!" / Marlene sighs, and says: "I'm finding it SO hard to get myself into projects that DON'T and WON'T sacrifice integrity for profits! I've shopped around for a NUMBER of shows that could've put me BACK into the limelight, but none of them are EVER willing to back up their integrity as much as The Penguins of Madagascar did!" / Wally says: "When Gus and I did Rocket Monkeys, we LITERALLY had no CLUE as to what would be good moves for us to make; as to what would make us popular Nicktoons! We just trusted what the executives told us to do, and we did it! Now, looking in retrospect, I can now SEE which moves WEREN'T in good taste or judgment! I think Buhdeuce feels pretty much the same way in regards to the way HIS show turned out! I mean, if it's any consolation; the writing quality of the second season of Breadwinners was MUCH better than the first!" (End Confessional) Sandy turns to her fellow Red Jaguars, and she says: "You know, we are going to need SOMEONE to answer questions about the Transcontinental Railroad. Do I have any volunteers?" Buhdeuce raises his hand, and he says: "Pick me! It's got to be ME! I know more about railways than anyone else in this challenge! I've been riding rails to mine bread as my professional vocation!" Pearl asks: "Mining BREAD?!"

Buhdeuce says: "Trust me; it makes sense in context, as far as MY show is concerned!" Larry says: "Why not? I mean, personal experience OFTEN translates into personal knowledge!" Sandy sighs, and says: "All right! I guess it's you, Buhdeuce!" Buhdeuce says: "Awesome!" (Confessional) Sandy sighs, and she says: "Having to be in the same team with Buhdeuce is kind of EXHAUSTING! It's almost as grating to my SOUL as having to do one of THOSE bad Spongebob Squarepants episodes that executives FORCE me to do!" / Buhdeuce says: "Honestly, I shouldn't HAVE to prove myself during EVERY single challenge; but my other team-mates always seem to keep DOUBTING my abilities, and I'm the one who beat TIGRESS! I'll help them win this challenge, but it would serve them RIGHT if I managed to outlast ALL of them! Than, they're going to wish they were more respectful to me!" / Larry says: "From what I've seen on this show, contestants are often ELIMINATED by the one opponent they would LEAST expect to be eliminated by! Aang was basically eliminated by Spongebob, Blonda was eliminated by Dora, Dora was eliminated by Bulma, Tigress was eliminated by Buhdeuce, and Treeflower was eliminated by Daggett! So, the only question I have; is that if someone DOES try to eliminate me, who would that contestant be?" (End Confessional) Fee turns to look at Daggett, and she giggles! Daggett asks: "What's so funny?!" Fee says: "Oh, just the fact that unless you WIN this thing; WHICH I highly doubt, Treeflower and Norbert will NEVER let you live this season DOWN!" Daggett says: "At least MY show actually LASTED for five seasons; which is THREE more than YOURS did!" Fee sarcastically says: "Oh, ow. I'm SO hurt! By the way, IF you die; can I have your stuff?" Harvey says: "Fee, that's BAD!!!!" Fee says: "Oh, RIGHT! WHEN you die!" Harvey says: "FEE, that's even WORSE!!!!"

(Confessional) Daggett angrily says: "That DOES it! Fee is getting eliminated PURELY on PRINCIPLE!" / Harvey shakes his head, and he says: "Fee; she is DEFINITELY the sassiest girl I've ever seen, but she SO, all too often, does NOT think before she speaks!" / Fee says: "I just call it like I see it! As far as I'm concerned, it's practically a MIRACLE Daggett has lasted THIS long!" (End Confessional) Sniz finally arrives, and he says: "Okay, I'm HERE! I TRUST EVERYONE has gotten their obligatory giggles out of the way?" Taotie looks at Fee, and he says: "SOME of us have! I can't speak for EVERYONE, though!" Sniz says: "In any case, it's time to determine if we have any volunteers for the Steps Of Knowledge." Stimpy says: "I've done at LEAST one episode of train travel on my own show! I think Keswick and I should volunteer!" Keswick says: "Sure! I'm game!" Sandy sighs and says: "Buhdeuce and I will volunteer, ONLY because he has the most PERSONAL experience out of all of us!" Buhdeuce says: "Experience RULES!" Harvey THINKS about it, and he asks: "Fee; since we can't win an Immunity Pendant anyways, do you want to try the Steps of Knowledge?" Fee asks: "Why do YOU want to?" Harvey says: "Well, we CAN'T keep letting the rest of our team-mates keep carry us through the rest of these challenges! We have to earn our right to win, just as much as they do!" Fee sighs, and she says: "FINE! Harvey and I volunteer!" Bulma says: "And YAKKITY and I will volunteer! I want to make up for all the times I ACCIDENTALLY misspelled his name!" Yakkity blushes, and he says: "Thank you!" (Confessional) Bulma says: "Letting Yakkity team up with me is a rather small price to pay for potentially NOT winning the Steps of Knowledge! Besides, his loyalty to me is FAR more important than answering questions that I could've EASILY answered in Pre-school!" / Yakkity says: "I definitely feel like Bulma respects me as a contestant now; because she trusts in MY knowledge and skills! And as such, I have a duty to her, to do my absolute BEST in these challenges!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right! We have our volunteers, so now Olmec will tell us about the legend of the Golden Spike of the Transcontinental Railroad!"

Olmec says: "The Legend of the Golden Spike, begins with a man named Theodore Judah! He started the funding and building of a railroad east from Sacramento across the Sierra Nevadas! Between January through July 1861, Judah led a ten person expedition, to survey; and found the proper route across the Sierra Nevadas! But it wasn't until the American Civil War broke out, that Abraham Lincoln was able to sign into law on July 1 of 1862, the Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862! It authorized the creation of two railroad companies; the Central Pacific, working their way east from Sacramento, California, and the Union Pacific, working their way west from Council Bluffs, Iowa. Work officially started on January 8, 1863, but work was initially slow. Not only that, but Theodore Judah, ended up dying of Yellow Fever on November 2, 1863. His work would be carried on by his successor, Samuel S. Montague! To build the railroads themselves, the Central Pacific ended up hiring a bunch of Chinese; while the Union Pacific ended up hiring a bunch of Irish emigrants! To build the combined, roughly 1,777 miles of railroad track, it would require steel rails, and telegraph lines to keep the trains on schedule! While the Union Pacific was able to lay about a mile of railroad starting at the end of 1865, the Central Pacific had the problem of having to build from the 40 foot elevation of Sacramento, to the 7,000 foot summit of Donner Pass, which needed to be accomplished in 90 miles, requiring an elevation change of 76 feet per mile! It took eleven tunnel projects, five Howe truss bridges, and workers working at a rate of .98 feet per day with three shifts of eight hour workers, before the railroad was built over the Sierra Nevadas in 1868! After the Sierra Nevadas, there was even a point where the Central Pacific once laid ten miles of track in one day, a record that STILL stands today! Finally, on May 10, 1869, the two railroads met at Promontory Summit, Utah. Leland Stanford, one of the big four of the Central Pacific, ended up driving in the ceremonial Golden Spike, which linked together the American continent, for the very first time! Four Golden spikes were driven during the ceremony. One is still in the railroad; two are on display, but the fourth was lost to the mists of time, until it found its way to the Temple! Your job is to retrieve the Golden Spike, and bring it back here!"

Sniz says: "Thanks Olmec! Where can the Golden Spike of the Transcontinental Railroad be found?" Olmec says: "The Golden Spike can be found in the abandoned Mine Shaft!" Sniz says: "All right, you know the drill! Nobody can win an Immunity Pendant today! So the first team down, will receive a Pendant of Life, that they will need for the Temple Run! Olmec, take it away!" Olmec asks: "When was the earliest that surveys for the Transcontinental Railroad started?" Bulma rings in, and she says: "1845!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Purple Parrots move down a step! Keswick scoffs, and he says: "Show-off!" Olmec asks: "Who started the funding and building of a railroad east of Sacramento, California?" Stimpy rings in, and Keswick answers: "Theodore Judah!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down a step! Harvey says: "This is harder than I thought it would be!" Olmec asks: "When was the expedition to survey the best route across the Sierra Nevadas undertaken?" Buhdeuce rings in and says: "Between January through July of 1861!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down a step! Harvey says: "Come on! Faster, FASTER! If you don't MOVE faster, we'll never WIN!" Olmec asks: "On what PRECISE date did Abraham Lincoln sign the Railroad Acts of 1862 into law?" Harvey rings in and says: "July 1, 1862!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Orange Iguanas move down a step! Daggett says: "If you flunk THIS one, Fee; you are SO going to have to repeat a grade!" Fee says: "I'm NOT being graded!" Yakkity says: "Except for a railroad GRADE!!!!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot!

Dudley says: "OOH, he's got you THERE, Fee!" Olmec asks: "What were the names of the two railroad companies building the first Transcontinental Railroad?" Buhdeuce rings in and answers: "The Central Pacific and the Union Pacific!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down a step! Harvey says: "Come on, Fee! You should've gotten THAT one!" Fee whines, and says: "But history is SO BORING!!!!" Harvey says: "If you don't LEARN it, you could be DOOMED to REPEAT it; LITERALLY, as in a GRADE!" Olmec asks: "Where did the Union Pacific begin their building?" Stimpy rings in, and Keswick answers: "In Council Bluffs, Iowa!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down a step! Harvey rolls his eyes, and asks: "Am I going to HAVE to do ALL the work for the BOTH of us?!" Fee HONESTLY asks: "You can DO THAT?! Because that would be GREAT!!!!" Harvey says: "I think I'm beginning to understand just WHY Dade doesn't LIKE you!" Olmec asks: "When did work on the Transcontinental Railroad officially start?" Buhdeuce rings in and answers: "On January 8, 1863!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "The Red Jaguars did it! They have a Pendant of Life! Which team will win a Pendant during the Challenge Arena? Let's find out by heading there now!" Harvey pants, and he says: "You moved...really fast, Buhdeuce!" Buhdeuce sighs, and he says: "I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to make you look bad. But you did okay for a kid. In another 6 years, maybe you could become a genuine Breadwinner!" Harvey says: "I'll have to...think about that!"

(Confessional) Harvey says: "Well, at least now I know why Bubble Bass was always WILLING to volunteer for the Steps of Knowledge before. I think it was because he didn't want me to be embarrassed when WE couldn't keep up with the speed and knowledge of the other players! I mean, I HOPED Fee would at LEAST be willing to pay ATTENTION! A drop!" / Fee says: "The one thing I would LIKE to know, is when am I EVER going to need to know THAT history in REAL life?!" / Harvey says: "And if I know Fee, she probably tempted fate AGAIN, just now! One thing I know for sure is, if I had been on Breadwinners, their show would've been a LOT more respected, and probably lasted for MORE than two seasons!" / Buhdeuce says: "Look; Harvey KNEW what he was getting into when he volunteered for the Steps of Knowledge! There's ALWAYS a chance that you could actually LOSE it! I mean, Harvey was BOUND to run into a situation where he could and WOULD legitimately LOSE! I just wish that I didn't HAVE to be the one to make Harvey lose! But I guess that what Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones sang was true, when they sang 'You can't always get what you want'." / Sandy THINKS about it, and she says: "Now that I THINK about it, Buhdeuce's knowledge AND skill DO seem to be pretty comparable with my own! The trouble is, I'm not sure if I should think of it as a GOOD thing, or a bad thing! After all, even if our team DOES survive this challenge, the team portion of this season can only last for so long! After that, all bets are off! And the hard part is, deciding whether or not someone needs to leave sooner rather than later! I know SPONGEBOB won't consider such options unless he has to, but I like to be prepared! That's just one of the ways Spongebob and I are different from each other, but we STILL make our relationship work!" (End Confessional)

Sniz says: "Okay, it's time to reveal what we'll do in the Challenge Arena! During the construction of the first Transcontinental Railroad, the Central Pacific had to build no less than 11 tunnels in order to get through the Sierra Nevadas! Therefore, your job is to try to clear the FAKE debris, in 11 tunnels of roughly 11 feet in length, in roughly four minutes! The teams that either clears the most FAKE debris, or the teams that finish clearing their fake debris first, will win a Pendant of Life! And if the Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars do it, they WILL be going to do a Temple Run, and competing for a reward! That's right! We have ANOTHER reward AND elimination challenge for you! General Barracuda, tell us what our challengers can win!" General Barracuda says: "Whoever wins the Temple Run, they and a guest of their choice will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Boomer's Miniature Golf Course, in Santa Maria, California! Boomers; come for the race karts, bumpers boats, miniature golf, and arcade games; stay for the food and relatively cheap novelty prizes!" Harvey says: "SEE?! If you paid the slightest BIT of attention to history, we'd be ONE step closer to WINNING that prize already!" Fee asks: "And HOW in the WORLD could I have predicted THAT?! Besides, if there's one thing I AM good at, it's WORKING with my hands! I'm not one of those 'Girly girls' like BULMA is!" Bulma gets incensed, and she says: "ME?! Girly?! LADY; you have NO idea of ALL the TROUBLES I've gone through in MY life! I am PRACTICALLY the LAST woman you should EVER call, 'Girly'!" Fee scoffs, and she says: "Are you kidding me?! In YOUR last season, you ALWAYS let ZARBON do all the hard work FOR you! You're not CAPABLE of getting YOUR hands either figuratively, or LITERALLY dirty!" Bulma rhetorically says: "Oh, I'm NOT; am I?! Po, you BETTER prepare a hot bath for me! This LADY is about to do some REAL work for the first time in a LONG time!" Taotie asks: "Bulma doing her OWN work?! Now THIS, I've GOT to see!"

(Confessional) Bulma says: "Fee has SO not been paying attention this season! Does she have ANY idea on how physically active I've been this season? SCORES more than the times I was active on Total Cartoon Global Cruise! I wasn't ready the LAST time I tried to be REALLY active! But this time, I'll make Fee EAT her words; figuratively, at LEAST!" / Harvey lightly POUNDS his head against the wall of the Confessional, and he says: "Fee, you're MAKING THINGS WORSE!!!!" / Fee scoffs, and she says: "If Bulma can ACTUALLY beat ME in a physical competition, than I'm a MONGOOSE!!!!" / Taotie says: "Come to think of it, I'm not exactly sure WHAT Fee is supposed to be! For all that SHE and I know, she COULD be a mongoose!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Let's see, the Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars have ten combined members; but with Daggett incapacitated, the Purple Parrots and Orange Iguanas only have NINE combined members! Johnny, would you mind switching to HELP the Purple Parrots?" Johnny asks: "I'm STILL getting paid extra, right?" Sniz asks: "Does Garfield HATE Mondays? The answer to both questions is yes!" Johnny says: "Awesome! I get to work with Bulma!" Fee says: "Ix-nay on the onspiracy-cay! Johnny is OBVIOUSLY going to team up with Bulma and HELP her dig MORE than me! Get out your RULE book, and RULE check already!" Sniz asks: "Did you even READ your contract when you SIGNED it?!" Harvey says: "I did! I KNOW Sniz is telling the truth! Fee, tell me you KNEW about this, already!" Fee whines: "But reading is SO BORING!!!!" Harvey face-palms himself, and yells: "Fee, we are STRUGGLING TOGETHER!!!!" Fee says: "Hey! When I signed up for this, BORING trivia challenges and 'Reading' were NOT what I signed up for! I didn't come here just to continue my EDUCATION, I could've stayed in SCHOOL if I wanted to do THAT!" Bubble Bass asks: "And just HOW do you plan on getting a JOB, if you DON'T have an education? I bet Harvey would REALLY like to hear THAT!" Harvey, clearly now irritated, says: "Now that he mentions it, just how HAVE you been planning on getting through life; just for the record?!"

Fee THINKS about it, and she asks: "What's the AMENDMENT that prevents me from incriminating myself in a trial AGAIN?!" Harvey begins to speak, but he stops, and says: "Nope! I am NOT going to answer YOUR questions anymore! If you REALLY want to know, LEARN IT YOURSELF! I REFUSE to be your BABYSITTER anymore! If I WANTED to be a babysitter, I could've stayed HOME and helped take care of MY baby sister MICHELLE!" Fee desperately says: "Not learning, NOT LEARNING! ANYTHING BUT LEARNING!!!!" Harvey says: "Either YOU start learning, or you can KISS any potential FUTURE dates with ME good-bye!" (Confessional) Fee actually cries, and she says: "How could Harvey DO this to ME?! After...after...there's got to be SOMETHING that I did for HIM that actually HELPED him...RIGHT?!" / Harvey sighs and says: "They say every couple has at least ONE spat; at least SEVERAL between Ren and Stimpy if the rumors can be believed! But I HAD to stand firm! Fee can't keep depending on ME to answer everything for her if she really WANTS to get ahead in life! She's got to LEARN about things, and learn how to do things for HERSELF!" Harvey sighs, and he says: "And for the record, the amendment that prevents you from incriminating yourself is the FIFTH one!" / Bubble Bass says: "And here I thought, that Harvey's relationship with Fee, was going to be one that WOULDN'T have any spats between them! I guess even HARVEY can have his limits if he's pushed far enough!" / Bulma says: "Look, I'm confidant enough in my OWN skills; but having Johnny Krill help me, will be the FINAL nail in Fee's metaphorical coffin!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "And to help you dig these railroad tunnels, you'll be rocking out to The Beatles' version of Come Together! Is everyone READY?!" Fee desperately says: "Harvey, please SAY that you're going to help me DIG!" Harvey asks: "What's the MATTER? I thought YOU never needed to LEARN anything, including learning how to do things for YOURSELF!" Fee nervously gulps, and she says: "Mother!" Sniz says: "On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

During the montage and song, Fee is finding it HARD to move the big fake rocks and boulders by herself, but Harvey simply REFUSES to help, while everyone else manages to make a solid effort in clearing the tunnels! / The Beatles sing: "Here come old flat-top, he come groovin' up slowly! He got ju-ju eyeball, he one holy roller! He got hair down to his knee! Got to be a joker, he just do what he please! He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football! He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola! He say, 'I know you, you know me'. One thing I can tell you, is you got to be free! Come together, right now! Over me! He bag production, he got walrus gumboot! He got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker! He got feet down below his knee! Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease! Come together, right now! Over me! Right! (Musical Break) Come! Come, come, come! He roller-coaster, he got early warnin'! He got muddy water, he one mojo filter! He say, 'One and one and one is three'; got to be good-lookin', 'cause he's so hard to see! Come together, right now! Over me! Ugh! Come together, yeah! Come together, yeah! Come together, yeah! Come together, yeah! Come together, yeah! Come together, yeah! Come together, yeah! Agh! Come together, yeah! Come together, yeah! Come together!" / And the song ends as the challenge ends! / Sniz says: "Time is up! Time to see how many tunnels each side cleared out! The Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars cleared out 1, 2, 4, 8, 10 tunnels! The Orange Iguanas and Purple Parrots cleared out 1, 2, 4, 8, eight and a half-tunnels; the Green Monkeys and the Red Jaguars win a Pendant of Life, and they're going to the Temple!" Harvey turns to Fee, and he asks: "Well?"

Fee cries, and she says: "Okay! I can't DO all the hard work by myself! I thought learning was HARD, but that was MUCH worse! Please, I PROMISE I'll put the hard work and effort in! Just PLEASE, stop giving me the cold shoulder!" Harvey sighs, and he says: "Okay. But you know, I was only DOING that BECAUSE I love you! I just want you to realize your best potential!" Taotie says: "Well, as far as I'm concerned, HER best potential WON'T be reached HERE! You've been lucky SO far, Harvey! But since Bulma has PROBABLY got an Immunity Pendant, I think that FEE'S luck has just about RUN out!" Harvey gulps nervously, and he gets an Anime sweat drop, and he says: "Boy, did I EVER pick the wrong time to put MY foot down! I did NOT think that plan through WHATSOEVER!" Fee says: "If it's any consolation, you WERE still right!" Harvey says: "A lot of good THAT will do for YOU if YOU'RE eliminated!" Fee says: "Eh, I've been through worse!" (Confessional) Harvey says: "And here I was worrying that Taotie was going to engineer ANOTHER scheme to eliminate me! I never thought that friction would develop between Fee and me! And now EVERYONE is going to use Fee's attitude as an excuse to vote her off; warranted, or otherwise! And I could've avoided this, if I just answered ONE more question!" / Fee says: "If I paid the SLIGHTEST bit of attention during the Steps of Knowledge, Harvey and I WOULDN'T be in this mess right now! If I get voted off, I certainly wouldn't be able to BLAME any of them! I mean, technically, I COULD; but THEY'RE the ones who are actually in the right!" / Taotie says: "Harvey, if you hadn't brought your head-strong girlfriend along, you wouldn't BE in the mess you're in right now! I KNEW one of the two of you would slip up sooner or later! Bye-bye, Fee! See you NEVER!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Orange Iguanas and Purple Parrots, your fates will be decided after the Temple Run! Now, it's time to determine, who is going to run!" Buhdeuce says: "I'll run first for the Red Jaguars!" Spongebob says: "And I'll run for the Green Monkeys!" Sniz says: "All right! Map, it's time to make a visual progress of the journey our contestants must take, as they run through the Temple!" Map says: "I'm on it, Sniz!"

And Map's visual information fills in, as Olmec talks about the interior of the Temple! Olmec says: "First, you will make your way through the Lost Library. Pull on the right book, and head onto the Pressure Ledge! Push on the right button, and climb into the Observatory! Spin the sundial, and head down into the Room of Keys! Find the right key, which will lead you into the Roman Catacombs! Push on the right gargoyle statue, and head into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the Monkey in the correct order, and head into the Hall of Armor! Place yourself into the correct suit of armor, and slide on down into the Abandoned Mine Shaft, where you can find the Golden Spike! Smash through the Stone Wall, and make your way through the Snake Swamp! Next, head into the Emperor's Chamber! Smash the clay pots to find the key, that will allow you to enter the Spiritual Chamber! Push the right buttons in the chamber, than, make your way through the Pit. Climb through the Crystal Cave, and back to the Temple Entrance! Remember, if you make it back here in three minutes, you will receive the reward of going to Boomer's Miniature Golf Course! The choices are yours, and yours alone! Good luck!" Sniz says: "All right! Map will keep track of your progress in the lower left hand corner of the screen! Olmec, let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

And Buhdeuce takes off, and Sniz narrates the action as he goes along! / Sniz says: "Buhdeuce is in the Lost Library, and a Temple Guard, right off the bat! He gives up his pendant! And he's found the right book! Onto the Pressure Ledge! Watch out for those falling fake rocks! He's found the right pressure switch! Up into the Observatory! He spins the sundial, and down into the Room of Keys! Another Temple Guard! Go, Spongebob, go! Through the Library, across the ledge, up into the Observatory, and down into the Room of Keys! He's found the right key! Into the Roman Catacombs! It's Johnny Krill as a Temple Guard! He gives up his Pendant! He's found the right statue! Into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! He puts down the base, he puts down the stomach, and he's putting down the head! It connects! Into the Hall of Armor! He's got to find the right suit of armor! He's found it! Down into the Abandoned Mine Shaft! He's got the Golden Spike! All the doors are open! Through the stone wall and through the Snake Swamp! Through the Emperor's Chamber! Through the Spiritual Chamber! Through the Pit, and through the Crystal Cave! Spongebob has made it out with 15 seconds to spare! Spongebob, you win the all-expenses paid trip to Boomer's Miniature Golf Course! Who are you going to take with you?" Spongebob says: "It's definitely got to be Sandy, more than any one else! I mean, the decisions SHE'S had to make this season have been a LOT harder than mine!" Sandy says: "Thank you, Spongebob! I accept the offer!" Sniz says: "Very well! You two enjoy your trip! Green Monkeys, take the night off, you deserve it! The rest of the Red Jaguars, you'll need to come with me! Your help will be needed in deciding the ultimate fate of the Orange Iguanas, and the Purple Parrots!"

(Confessional) Johnny Krill says: "Ultimate fate? If it were up to me, Bulma would be OUT of this competition! But since I'm not getting a vote anyways, my opinion probably matters very little to everyone else!" / Buhdeuce says: "With Sandy going off with Spongebob, I guess that means Larry's going to make the ultimate call on what happens to the team that gets dissolved. I wonder if we're going to get some new members? That would certainly be nice, if I'm no longer the ONLY contestant who's not FROM Spongebob Squarepants!" / Po says: "The bottom line is, Fee messed up. And the fact of the matter is, her behavior simply isn't becoming for a girl of her age! I'm ONLY eliminating her, because SHE needs to learn some manners!" / Dudley says: "I might have done questionable things on my show, but I never acted as arrogant as FEE has! She has GOT to go!" / Chameleon says: "Even if I understand Fee's mindset, that doesn't mean that I AGREE with it! So, Fee has to be the one who has to LEAVE! It's just that simple!" / Yakkity says: "Eliminating Fee? That's the EASY part! The hard part will be, having to deal with Harvey, who will probably be heart-broken without her!" / Bulma says: "Game, set, and match! When it comes to answering questions; I'm not JUST the teacher, I am a professor AND a master! And Harvey and Fee; you are about to get SCHOOLED!" (End Confessional) The Orange Iguanas and the Purple Parrots are at the Elimination Ceremony, and the Red Jaguars are watching intently! Sniz says: "We are down to 20 contestants. The moment of truth will soon be upon us. Four teams entered this episode, but only THREE, will be leaving from it! The remaining contestants from the dissolved team, will find themselves absorbed into the Red Jaguars, and the team that manages to stay standing! So, it's time for everyone to vote! And Orange Iguanas and Purple Parrots, this MIGHT be your last chance, to play your respective Immunity Pendants! With that being said, VOTE!"

And while some are easily able to vote, others have a much harder time doing it; but everyone eventually votes! Sniz says: "Voting is over, so--." Bubble Bass says: "Since I don't want my Immunity Pendant to go to waste, I will be playing my Immunity Pendant on myself!" Sniz says: "The Immunity Pendant is real, that means all votes cast for Bubble Bass will not count! Now--." Bulma says: "And I hope NO ONE got any FUNNY ideas about trying to vote ME off; I'm playing MY Immunity Pendant on myself!" Taotie says: "Called it!" Daggett says: "AGAIN?!!!" Sniz says: "Her Immunity Pendant is real, that means all votes cast for Bulma will not count! Now, it's time to reveal who is safe! Taotie, Po, Dudley, OBVIOUSLY Bulma; Chameleon, OBVIOUSLY Bubble Bass; Yakkity Yak!" Daggett looks concerned, and Harvey hugs Fee, as if afraid to lose her! Sniz says: "Contestants, one final Chocolate Pendant of Life! It can only go to ONE contestant!" Daggett winces, as if waiting for the inevitable; Fee just looks sad and forlorn, and Harvey just closes his eyes, as if unable to LOOK at the results! Sniz says: "It will go to HARVEY!!!!" Harvey yells: "NO!!!!" Sniz looks stunned, and he says: "No?" Harvey sighs, and he says: "Look, I know I SHOULD accept the Chocolate Pendant of Life. In any other case, I would; but, I can't continue on in this game without Fee." Fee asks: "Are you serious?" Harvey says: "I only entered this season to impress you! Everything I tried to do, was to show you how good of a contestant, and a guy I was! But...I guess I fell a little short! I'm...not as good as I thought I was. I got mad, and I took it out on you! Even so, I don't think you deserved that from me." Fee says: "Don't worry about it; if ANYONE made mistakes on this show, I was the one who made them." Harvey says: "Maybe, but I'm STILL not playing without you! If Fee has to leave, I have to leave! We're a package deal, it's just that simple!" Sniz says: "Suit yourselves! Mine Cart of Shame, that way!" Buhdeuce says: "We'll miss you, Harvey!" Fee asks: "What about ME?!" Daggett says: "Don't ask questions, you DON'T want to know the answer to!" Taotie says: "IRONY!!!!"

Harvey and Fee put on their safety helmets, and strap themselves into the Mine Cart! Sniz asks: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" And Harvey and Fee rocket down the rails, and head through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Sniz says: "And Harvey and Fee are OUT of here! And with the Orange Iguanas down to three; I guess THIS means the Orange Iguanas are no more! Red Jaguars, you get to choose TWO contestants, to join your ranks!" Larry THINKS about it, and he says: "I think we'll choose DUDLEY, and Chameleon!" Chameleon asks: "Really?! We get to stay on the same team?!" Dudley says: "Cool!" Sniz says: "And that, means that Bubble Bass joins the Purple Parrots by default!" Bubble Bass says: "So at long last, I'm on the same team as Bulma. It will be INTERESTING to see how our intellects match up!" Bulma says: "Likewise, I'm looking FORWARD to see how THIS plays out!" Sniz says: "Well, the Orange Iguanas are no more! We are down to three teams, so expect to see the status quo shaken up! How will the challenges proceed, with three teams fighting against each other? And who will be the next two contestants to take the last train to Clarksville? Wherever THAT is! Find out on the next episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where our only destination, is entertainment!" /

Stinger: Spongebob and Sandy are currently in the cafeteria at Boomer's Miniature Golf Course, and enjoying the types of food that they're serving there! Sandy says: "It sure is nice to take a break from the crazy action that's happened in this competition! It feels GOOD to be able to unwind with you!" Spongebob says: "Likewise, I needed a break from the crazy stuff myself! It's been quite a while since we've been able to have some time to ourselves!" Sandy asks: "Speaking of time, I wonder what kind of time we are going to have once we get back? One of the teams will be dissolved! It might even affect MY team!" Spongebob says: "I don't think you need to worry about it! After all, Larry is in charge when YOU'RE not around! I'm sure he'll make a good call!" Sandy sighs, and she says: "Yeah, you're probably right!" (SPLASH!!!!) Spongebob asks: "What was THAT loud sound?!" And the two of them hurry outside, and see Harvey and Fee have landed in their mine cart, in the Bumper Boats lake! Harvey chuckles, and he says: "What do you know? I guess we got to go on the Reward AFTER all! Not in the way I planned, but still..." Spongebob says: "Here, Harvey. Grab hold of my brand new net, NEW Reliable, and I'll pull you out!" Harvey grabs it, and Spongebob pulls him to shore! Harvey says: "Thank you, Spongebob!" Fee asks: "What about me?" Sandy says: "Answer ONE question; on WHICH date was the first Transcontinental Railroad COMPLETED?!" Fee's eyes narrow in horror, and she screams a big: "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" /

Personal Notes: On "Legends of The Hidden Temple", ALL of the contestants were roughly ten to twelve years old; and there was virtually very little difference between the contestants, in terms of overall skills, knowledge, and strength. What this season of "Total Cartoon Legends" wanted to show, was just how MUCH of an uphill battle two NORMAL twelve year old kids, Harvey and Fee, would have to face; when faced up against 44 other contestants; the majority of whom were all FAR stronger, smarter, and more skilled than they were! And while they were smart for their age; Fee, and even HARVEY, discovered that they hadn't yet learned everything they SHOULD learn, in order to truly BE in a competition of this nature! Granted, they lasted FAR longer than anyone THOUGHT they would; but at long last, Fee and Harvey are finally out of the competition! How will the competition fare with only three teams instead of four? Read the next episode, and find out! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

I can't believe I initially put the re-run in the wrong place! Anyways, here it is, now! / Sniz is standing in front of giant emblems of the Silver Snakes, the Blue Barracudas, and the Orange Iguanas! Sniz says: "Previously, on this half-season of Total Cartoon Legends, we have seen six teams duke it out against each other! Two of them, the Silver Snakes and the Blue Barracudas, were rather lousy! After a necessary team shake-up, they both became the Purple Parrots and the Orange Iguanas. But in the last episode, one team played their last! Fee's lack of interest in knowledge, and trying to PROVE that she could do a physical challenge ALL by herself, not only proved to be her OWN undoing, but Harvey Beaks' undoing as well! Feeling bad for trying to teach Fee a lesson in tough love, when Harvey found out that Fee WAS going to get eliminated; Harvey decided that he couldn't continue the game without her, and he quit so that he could be with her! Now THAT'S commitment! With the Orange Iguanas no more, Chameleon and Dudley were enlisted to join the Red Jaguars, and Bubble Bass was enlisted to join the Purple Parrots! Now, we are down to three teams, and 18 contestants! Needless to say, the game that has been played so far, is going to see a MAJOR shake-up starting today! Has Daggett recovered from his injury last time? How will our former Orange Iguanas fare in their new teams? And, is Fondue EVER going to finish his Community Service and join me in this half-season?!" Johnny Krill says: "I sure hope so!" Sniz says: "Well, in any case, find out the answers to the OTHER questions, on today's PATRIOTIC episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "The revolution will NOT be vilified!" /

Instead of the normal show open, it shows the best challenge victories of the Green Monkeys, the Red Jaguars, and the Purple Parrots; to the tune of Jefferson Airplane's "Volunteers"! / Jefferson Airplane sings: "Look what's happening out in the streets, got a revolution! Got to revolution! Hey I'm dancing down the streets! Got a revolution, got to revolution! Ain't it amazing all the people I meet? Got a revolution, got to revolution! One generation got old, one generation got soul! This generation got no destination, got nothing to hold! Pick up the cry! Hey now, it's time for you and me, got a revolution! Got to revolution! Come on now, we're marching to the sea! Got a revolution, got to revolution! Who will take it from you? We will, and who are we; we are volunteers of America! Volunteers of America! Volunteers of America! Volunteers of America! (Instrumental Break) We are volunteers of America! Volunteers of America! Volunteers of America! Volunteers of America!" (Instrumental Finish as the montage ends!) / "The Legend Of The Lost Lantern From The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere!" / It is still night-time, and Dudley and Chameleon are checking out the Red Jaguar's hotel for the very first time! Dudley says: "So, THIS is how the other half has been living! It sure beats the trailers WE'VE had to make do with!" Pearl says: "Trust me, this hotel has PRACTICALLY got everything you need! It's got a pool and a spa; continental dinner, snack and soda vending machines! It has walk-in showers and television with at least 77 paid cable channels, and it even has Internet Access! You could practically LIVE in a hotel like this if you had to!" Chameleon says: "Well, we'll definitely make do with whatever time we get to have, as long as the two of us are in this competition! Thanks for keeping the two of us together!" Larry says: "No problem! I mean, Bubble Bass might ALSO be a champion, but that's PRECISELY why I didn't WANT to pick him! After all; do you know the old saying, 'Too many cooks spoil the broth'?" Buhdeuce says: "I do! It's practically a mantra Sway-Sway and I HAVE to live by, being Breadwinners and all!" Larry says: "Same thing with having more than one former champ on a team! It gets too competitive! This way, we get some new BLOOD into our team, and contestants with a HEALTHY variety of skills!" Dudley says: "Trust me! We appreciate the low-down on your place, but we want to know where OUR rooms will be!"

Buhdeuce says: "You can have Heffer's old room. It's a big enough for BOTH of you!" Chameleon says: "That would be AWESOME! Would you show us the way?" Buhdeuce says: "It will be MY pleasure!" (Confessional) Pearl says: "While I haven't gotten the chance to hang out in my hotel much, helping Bubble Bass with Infant Rube and everything; I felt it was only right to help introduce our new team-mates to the accommodations! After all, SOMEBODY should be making use of them!" / Chameleon says: "I'll be honest! When our former team got dissolved, I was worried Dudley and I would be split up! But thankfully, Larry was KIND enough to keep us together! I feel like Karma is DEFINITELY on our side! Now, the REAL challenge starts! And that's seeing if Dudley and I can get to the Team Merge again! We'll certainly do our best!" / Larry says: "Look, the fact of the matter is; the Red Jaguars CAN'T just rely on the skills of contestants who come from Spongebob Squarepants! Our best chance for GETTING to the team merge, is to have a VARIETY of contestants! Dudley and Chameleon, should help balance our team! Not to mention, I'm sure Buhdeuce is happy! He no longer feels like on outsider in his OWN team!" / Buhdeuce fist-bumps, and he says: "Yes! I'm STILL in the game, and now, I have the CHANCE to FINALLY make a move! And the reason why I can do it now, is because I have the opportunity to get Dudley and Chameleon on MY side! Despite being good players; the different contestants that come FROM Spongebob Squarepants, DO have the tendency to NOT respect ANYONE who's NOT from that show! So, it seems like the ONLY way I'm going to GET that respect, is to EARN it! Physically, Pearl is the strongest, and I don't think she TRULY realizes it! If I'm going to get further in the game, she HAS to be the first one on our team to go! Maybe THAN, the Red Jaguars would FINALLY take notice of me! It's nothing personal! Like Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin both sang; 'All I'm asking, is for a little respect'!" (End Confessional)

Bubble Bass' trailer, has been moved to be closer to the trailers of the Purple Parrots, and Bubble Bass' trailer is now painted purple, instead of orange! Bulma turns to Bubble Bass, and she asks: "So, Bubble Bass; now that you're on OUR team, how does it feel to FINALLY be able to have conversations WORTH talking about?!" Daggett yells: "What's THAT supposed to MEAN?!" Bulma mockingly says: "What's that supposed to mean?" Than Bulma SERIOUSLY says: "SERIOUSLY, that's what you SOUND like! Do you even LISTEN to yourself when you TALK?!" Taotie says: "I certainly do, ALL THE TIME, as a matter of fact!" Po says: "Come on! Let's not start a fight now! We're down to three teams now! And as such, it would be beneficial for us if we are ALL able to start this phase of these challenges, off on the right foot!" Bubble Bass says: "Fish don't HAVE feet, we have FINS! And Bulma, I would be VERY interested into HEARING what kinds of conversations you have in mind!" Po says: "Come on, Bubble Bass; you know what I meant!" Yakkity says: "And I QUITE agree that we should ALL be on the same page! I think all six of us have come too FAR in this game, to just let ourselves be eliminated now! So, from this challenge forward; as long as we're ALL Purple Parrots, let's work together to be the BEST possible version of the Purple Parrots team, we can possibly be! To the Purple Parrots!" Taotie says: "To the Purple Parrots!" Po says: "To the Purple Parrots!" Bubble Bass says: "To the Purple Parrots!" Bulma says: "To the Purple Parrots!" Daggett rolls his eyes, groans, and he says: "All right, to the Purple Parrots!" Bulma says: "Good! Now that we have THAT settled, I think it would be in our BEST interest if we WIN this upcoming challenge! We won't be able to WIN an Immunity Pendant, which means ANY of us could be vulnerable if we LOSE this challenge! I don't know about the REST of you, but I don't want to LOSE any of our own right at the START of this phase in the competition!" Taotie says: "I quite agree! We lose THIS challenge, we might be facing an uphill battle for the REST of this season!"

(Confessional) Daggett says: "My foot may be feeling better, but I STILL don't like it, that Bulma had to bring in Bubble Bass into OUR team! He is a VISUAL reminder of one of the WORST moments of my LIFE; and I'm INCLUDING all 121 times Norbert HUMILIATED me, on The Angry Beavers in that equation!" / Bulma says: "To be quite honest, I've been looking FOR a valid reason to get RID of Daggett, and I THINK I've finally found one! After all, with Bubble Bass' knowledge on MY team; Daggett's so-called interest in knowledge, is completely OBSOLETE! Besides, he's the LEAST coordinated out of ALL of us, so it's not like we'd REALLY be losing a contestant!" / Po says: "It looks like Master Viper isn't the ONLY one who is sensitive about NOT having feet!" / Bubble Bass says: "The only reason I'm INTERESTED in hearing Bulma talk, is because I want to know what her THOUGHT process is! After all, what BETTER way to be able to ELIMINATE someone, than to KNOW how they think, and turn it BACK around AGAINST them? Now, I'm not saying I definitely WILL eliminate Bulma; I just want to be PREPARED in case I legitimately HAVE to do it! After all, between the two of us, I'M the one who's actually BEEN a champion! Even so, I CAN'T afford to take it for granted! After all, NOBODY'S victory is a foregone conclusion, until AFTER the battle is over! Also, it would be QUITE interesting to see if I can become friends with Po and Yakkity. I'm not saying it will be quick, OR easy, but I will DEFINITELY make an attempt!" / Yakkity says: "I think everyone else on my team was REALLY inspired by my rousing speech! I guess being brave enough to tell my jokes, has translated into rallying others to feel the team spirit on our team! It can only help us do the best we can in these upcoming challenges!" / Taotie says: "All I know for sure is, if Bulma WANTS to eliminate Daggett, I won't HESITATE to help her do it! It's not because I even TRUST her; I just don't want Daggett's DEAD weight to keep dragging US down!" (End Confessional)

It is morning, and everyone is in the cafeteria enjoying breakfast, when Spongebob and Sandy walk in! Future Rube says: "Spongebob, welcome back! Now that you're here, I can catch you up on what's happened!" Spongebob asks: "DID something happen?" Wally says: "Well, Future Rube heard from Bubble Bass, who heard from Pearl, that the Orange Iguanas, as a team, are no more!" Sandy says: "I THOUGHT it seemed a little emptier in the cafeteria today! Well, I still see a few former Orange Iguanas around." Stimpy says: "Yeah, but I think they've been shuffled into different teams now. All I know is, the Green Monkeys didn't get any new members." Marlene says: "To be precise, Bubble Bass is now on the Purple Parrots; Dudley and Chameleon are now on the Red Jaguars!" Sandy sputters, and she asks: "Well, who in the world made THAT decision?!" Larry says: "Come on! You say that like it's a BAD thing!" Sandy asks: "Why in the world WOULDN'T you want Bubble Bass to be on our team?!" Larry says: "Come on! The whole reason I did it, was because I was thinking of what YOU would do! I mean, he's a former champ, the same as I am! He would be a threat to BOTH you and me!" Sandy says: "Use your HEAD! If he had been on OUR team, we COULD'VE kept a better handle on him! How are we going to do THAT if he's ON a different team?!" Buhdeuce says: "I have an idea; you might not like it though!" Spongebob asks: "Why wouldn't Sandy like it?" Buhdeuce says: "Well, since Pearl IS helping take care of Infant Rube WITH Bubble Bass, it would be EASIEST for her to tell us about any potential weaknesses of Bubble Bass, as well as figure out a way to eliminate anyone on the Purple Parrots in order to keep HIM safe!" Keswick says: "Do you think Pearl is going to WANT to use her half-brother like that?! They're related by blood, partially!" Pearl says: "THANK YOU! Just because Mr. Krabs raised me, that does NOT mean I have ALL of his values! I WON'T do it!" Dudley says: "Than, what will the plan be if our team LOSES?"

Sandy THINKS about it, and she says: "I don't HAVE a plan, because I don't know how you and Chameleon will work in our team, so, you'll have your trial run today. Impress me. Depending on everyone's skills on how well they do today; IF our team loses, THAN I will make my decision on WHO has to leave! I think leaving it up to YOUR own skills is a fair way to help keep you here!" Chameleon says: "I can't argue with that! I wouldn't know HOW to!" Spongebob says: "Just as long as you don't need ME to play a part in this strategy, than I can be FINE with that!" Sandy says: "You can relax, Spongebob! I plan to take care of everything!" (Confessional) Stimpy says: "It seems the smaller the teams get, the more I end up missing...Lil and my kids! I...need to say that, because I don't want to SAY something else! It's like when I was with Ren, it was EASY for me to know how to feel, because having Ren around, made me feel like since HE was so angry, I never needed to be angry! But weirdly enough, not having him around, makes it harder for me to be happier! I guess there truly ARE some things money can't buy; and having someone who lets you FEEL like the best version of yourself, is one of them!" Stimpy sighs, and he says: "Maybe if Ren has been on good behavior, maybe I can petition for him to be moved into a LESS harsh prison. It's the LEAST I can do for him!" / Sandy says: "FIGURES! The one time I DECIDE to relax and let LARRY be in charge, he had to make a bone-headed decision, that DIDN'T include putting Bubble Bass in OUR team! Now that's he done that, are numbers have been divided three and three equally, between contestants who are, and AREN'T from Spongebob Squarepants! And as team leader, I can't AFFORD to be biased! Whoever doesn't pull their own weight, or messes up the worst; they will have to leave! It's nothing personal based on how I feel!" / Larry says: "Sandy would've WANTED Bubble Bass on our team? I think having Tigress on our team, might have rubbed off a bit TOO much on her!" /

Buhdeuce says: "Well, so much for trying to convince Pearl to commit SABOTAGE and rack up penalty votes. I guess if our team loses, she will have to lose the HARD way, by me being better than her! No easy task, I might add! But than, it's more fun when it's a CHALLENGE anyways!" / Keswick says: "Look, I won't say that Treeflower was ALWAYS congenial, but I DO think she was fair! The reason that TUFF works as well as it does, is because we ALL have mutual respect and trust for one another! I want this team to function the same way, and coming up with BAD ideas like Buhdeuce's, is NOT the way to do it!" / Pearl says: "Bubble Bass and I could NEVER betray each other! It's kind of a common courtesy for family members to NOT betray each other!" / Spongebob says: "It DOES feel like the balance of power may be starting to shift, and NOT in the ways that EVERYONE anticipated it to!" (End Confessional) Sniz rings a gong, and over the loud-speakers, his voice says: "Attention contestants! At the last Elimination Ceremony, Fee was eliminated, and Harvey Beaks quit! As a result, the Orange Iguanas were dissolved as a team! Dudley and Chameleon are now on the Red Jaguars, Bubble Bass is now on the Purple Parrots! Please proceed immediately to the Moat to find out how the challenges will work from here on out! That is all!" Po says: "Well, it's the moment of truth! Time to find out which team will have their first victory in this new phase of the competition!" Taotie says: "Well, you DEFINITELY have more winning experience than I do! Just lead the way, and I will follow!" Bulma says: "I will do the leading, if you don't mind! I WAS voted most LIKELY to lead at my high school graduation class WHEN I turned 14!" Daggett asks: "Leading WHAT?! A group of people TRYING to be most annoying?! Because I THINK you've already won BRONZE, Silver, AND Gold in doing THAT!" Yakkity asks: "Who WON the gold?!" Bubble Bass says: "Uh, Daggett was being SARCASTIC!" Yakkity says: "OH!"

(Confessional) Yakkity says: "Well, that's just GREAT! How was I SUPPOSED to know Daggett was being sarcastic?! I'm not a MIND reader, you know! Maybe if our team loses, maybe I should vote Daggett off! I mean, even TAOTIE is more congenial than Daggett is!" / Taotie says: "Look; I'm not saying that following Po IS going to get me the season win, but it's a FAR better plan than ANY I came up with when I was a villain!" / Bulma says: "You know, I WAS considering making Daggett PROVE himself in this competition! But NOPE!!!! He just HAD to open up his mouth! Bye-bye Daggett; HELLO Bubble Bass! At least HE knows knowledge when he SEES it!" / Bubble Bass says: "If there's one thing I've learned from my experience on Spongebob Squarepants, is that having too HIGH of an opinion of yourself; especially when it concerns your ego, NEVER turns out well! That's why I'm doing my best to keep my ego in check, especially when it concerns Bulma! Anywhere else; I would GLADLY work with her! But in this competition, it's anything LEGAL and ethical that goes!" (End Confessional) The contestants suit up into their team colors, and head for the Moat! Sniz says: "Welcome! We are now at the phase of the competition, where there are only THREE teams! Prior to today; two teams worked together with two other teams! But since we now have only three teams, that means that structure is now old news! Therefore, from this challenge on, until the team merge proper; it's every team for themselves! Therefore, the Moat Challenge will now work a little differently! From now on, you're no longer competing to join up with another team; you will be competing for a Pendant of Life, which you will need for the Temple Run! The Steps of Knowledge, are where you will either compete for an Immunity Pendant, or another Pendant of Life! If a team doesn't win a second Pendant, than we will have a Challenge Arena, to determine which team earns a second Pendant of Life! Only the team that scores two Pendants, will get to take a Temple Run! The other teams will have to face an Elimination Ceremony! So, until further notice, only ONE team will be safe from an Elimination Ceremony! Now, it's time to find out what today's challenge is! Olmec, tell us about today's challenge!"

Olmec says: "Today's legend, is the Legend Of the Lost Lantern From the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere!" Sniz says: "All right! A challenge relating to the American Revolution! And, one of the most iconic moments of the American Revolution, was George Washington crossing the Delaware River! While George almost CERTAINLY didn't make the pose that was depicted in the painting of that event, the fact remains that the crossing of the Delaware River was a key moment in Americans truly PROVING they were independent of Great Britain! So, you will be rowing boats of a more ACCURATE shape and size across the Moat! You will do so in groups of three! Once one group has gotten across, they will send their boat back on the over-head rope pulley system, to the other group. Once both groups on a team have gotten across, they must ring the Gong Pedestal! Remember, you are competing to win a Pendant of Life! Spongebob, Wally, and Future Rube will make up the first group for the Green Monkeys; Sandy, Buhdeuce, and Larry will make up the first group for the Red Jaguars; and Bubble Bass, Bulma, and Yakkity will make up the first group for the Purple Parrots. Everyone else will make up the second group! And to get you in the mood for crossing the Delaware River, we will be playing the single version of The Beatles Revolution!" Buhdeuce says: "Awesome!" Sniz says: "All right! Let's see how our teams fare in this new set-up! Is everybody ready?!" Johnny Krill says: "Well, I'm pretty sure Spongebob is, but we'll see how he fares, anyways." Sniz says: "Right! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

During the montage, the first group of contestants from each team makes a rather good progress across the Moat. But during the second group of contestants, Pearl, Dudley and Chameleon are finding it HARD to make good progress due to Pearl's immense weight; and the same goes for Po, Taotie, and Daggett, due to Po's and Taotie's combined weights! / The Beatles sing: "You say you want a revolution! Well, you know; we all want to change the world. You tell me that it's evolution! Well, you know; we all want to change the world! But when you talk about destruction; don't you know that you can count me out? Don't you know it's gonna be; alright? Alright, alright! You say you got a real solution! Well, you know; we'd all love to see the plan! You ask me for a contribution! Well, you know; we're all doing what we can! But if you want money for people with minds that hate; all I can tell you is, brother; you have to wait! Don't you know it's gonna be; alright? Alright, alright! All! (Instrumental Break) You say you'll change the Constitution! Well, you know; we all want to change your head! You tell me it's the institution! Well, you know; you'd better free your mind instead! But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao; you ain't gonna make it with anyone, anyhow! Don't you know it's gonna be; alright? Alright, alright! Alright, alright! Alright, alright! Alright, alright! Alright, alright!" / And the song and montage ends as the Green Monkeys are the first team to get all their members across and ring their Gong Pedestal!

Sniz says: "And just like that, the Green Monkeys have received their first Pendant of Life that they will need for the Temple Run! What's going to happen on the Steps of Knowledge?!" Sandy says: "I don't know, but I think Pearl BETTER start LOSING a few POUNDS before she EVER gets on another boat AGAIN!" Pearl says: "Just for the record; as a whale, I'm actually a NORMAL weight for my age and size!" Larry says: "Irrelevant if it STILL slows us down!" Buhdeuce says: "All I know is, I'm looking PRETTY good compared to YOU, right now!" Dudley says: "The sad part is, he's NOT wrong!" Sniz says: "We got to take a quick break! But when we come back, we'll find out who prevails in the Steps of Knowledge on this episode, of Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / After the commercials end, the contestants are beginning to gather at the Steps of Knowledge! Daggett says: "Okay, new rule! From now on, WE should be able to volunteer who goes with WHOM during the Moat Crossing Challenges! I don't want to get STUCK with THUNDER Gut and his side-kick, PORK BUTT!!!!" Po says: "Hey! Lay off Taotie! What has HE ever done to you, or to anyone THIS season for THAT matter?!" Taotie says: "THANK YOU! SOMEONE'S actually been PAYING attention!" Bulma says: "Theoretically speaking, I suppose SOMEONE has to!" Taotie asks: "Do you EVER shut that MOUTH off?!" Bulma sputters, and she says: "For YOUR information, I think I've been relatively QUIET this season, and NOT always by choice! I would've been GLAD to offer you ideas on how to survive COUNTLESS challenges this season; I would've been THRILLED to give you MY advice! But NOPE! You made it perfectly CLEAR to me at the start of this season, that you WEREN'T willing to trust me!"

Yakkity says: "I trust you!" Bubble Bass says: "Eh, the jury is still out; but Bulma DOES have a point! With all the physical activities SHE has put herself through this season, and all the times she was WILLING to take on the Steps of Knowledge for ALL of you; I would THINK she has proven herself ENOUGH to you! I would HOPE that you would already KNOW this, but TRUST is a two way street! After all, if you WANT the rest of the team to trust you; than you HAVE to be willing to trust the rest of your TEAM more! I mean, we ARE all in this team together; and it makes absolutely no sense for ANYONE to sabotage our efforts! It would only hurt US in the long run! So, what do you say, would you STOP treating Bulma like she's guilty of a crime that HASN'T even been committed? I think she has MORE than earned at least THAT by this point!" Po sighs, and he says: "All right! But she's STILL on thin ice! If she makes ONE slip-up, we're voting her OUT!" Bulma shrugs her shoulders, and she says: "Eh, I can live with that!"

(Confessional) Bulma says: "Surviving THIS challenge is EASY! I just need to exploit Daggett's Achilles Heel; his tendency to get angry at the drop of a hat! After this episode, I'll have relatively FEW problems getting myself to the Goddess slot! And why not? After all; I'm SO worth it!" / Daggett scoffs and he says: "Why does EVERYONE, including Bubble Bass and Bulma, get more respect than I do?! I've been working my TAIL off this whole time; than Bulma FINALLY decides to BE a team player, and now everyone is treating her as more of an asset than ME?! She may be sitting pretty now! But believe me; when her beauty INEVITABLY starts to fade, it will fade FAST!!!!" / Taotie says: "Look; the only reason THIS team has even kept Bulma ON as long as it has, is because she's actually USEFUL for the Steps of Knowledge! Otherwise, she would've been GONE on the first episode of this half-season! It's weird how Bulma works like that! She's JUST smug enough to BE annoying, but she's TOO smart to just be voted off, by actually BEING useful! Some women are SUCH cryptic creatures!" / Yakkity asks: "WHAT?! 'Cryptic'? Is THAT what he's calling it now?" / Bubble Bass says: "Look; the only reason I WANT the other contestants to trust Bulma, is because I need HER to trust me! After all, I can't very well get her to TALK about herself if the OTHER contestants don't at LEAST mildly trust her! When I play a game, I prefer to have ALL of the required knowledge about it before hand! After all, what better way to perform a speed run?" / Po says: "Honestly, I'm surprised Bulma has been WILLING to play this LONG game the way she has! I thought she would've grown SICK of this by day three, MINIMUM! But she's REALLY determined to get that Goddess slot! Do I think she will stop there? HARDLY! But, as long as I'm in this game; I'm going to do EVERYTHING I can to make her EARN that slot, the HARD way!" (End Confessional) Chameleon turns to Pearl, and he says: "You're NOT going to weigh our team down THIS time, are you?!" Pearl asks: "How could I POSSIBLY weigh you down?! If anything, with MY powerful feet; I can practically put MY John Hancock onto the buzzers on the Steps of Knowledge!" Dudley giggles and he says: "Revolution based humor! THAT'S actually pretty funny!"

Sandy says: "Well, FUNNY doesn't get us a WIN in this challenge! We NEED contestants who actually KNOW a thing or 1776 about the American Revolution! Who's willing to do the Steps of Knowledge with me?" Pearl says: "Oh, I'll volunteer! Just to PROVE to Buhdeuce that I'm FAR more capable of KNOWLEDGE than HE is!" Buhdeuce scoffs, and he says: "It would serve you right if you got EVERY question WRONG!" Larry says: "But that would keep us from WINNING this challenge!" Buhdeuce sighs, and he says: "FINE! MOST of the questions wrong!" (Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "SEE?! Unlike SOME contestants, I can be reasonable!" / Pearl scoffs, and she says: "If Buhdeuce THINKS he can outlast me, he is SO wrong! I'll put this challenge away SO fast; it won't EVEN be FUNNY!" / Sandy says: "I HAVE to be at least ONE of the contestants doing the Steps of Knowledge! HELLO! I'm PRACTICALLY the only SANE contestant that the Red Jaguars have LEFT! SOMEONE needs to keep this ship in tip-top shape!" (End Confessional) Spongebob says: "If the other teams are going to put up THEIR best, we better do the same! Future Rube, how are you at trivia challenges?" Future Rube says: "Well, I AM pretty good; but I AM from the future! I'm not sure if I've found out any KNOWLEDGE about this challenge, that Olmec doesn't know about!" Spongebob says: "Fair enough. Keswick; you were pretty smart the last time you performed the Steps of Knowledge. Do you want to do the Steps of Knowledge with me?" Keswick says: "Well, I'm probably OVER qualified for the task; but with YOU, it should be fun!" (Confessional) Future Rube says: "That's the hardest part about being BACK in this time! I'm unable to tell anyone about MY time, because doing so might very well ALTER my time! You just never know what might cause a "Butterfly Effect". Even so, I REFUSE to jinx anything!" / Spongebob says: "At this point in the game, I don't think I'll be able to play with kid gloves anymore; whatever THAT means! Sandy probably won't like it, but I WON'T be holding any of my knowledge back! I'm SURE she feels the same way!" / Keswick says: "Spongebob is DEFINITELY taking this season far more seriously than any other season he's competed in, but at least he's STILL kind, decent, and honest about the whole thing! Usually, you have to pay EXTRA for that!" (End Confessional)

General Barracuda arrives, playing a flute version of "Yankee Doodle Dandy," while dressed up as an American Revolutionary Patriot! Marlene asks: "Do you get PAID extra to dress up like that?!" General Barracuda says: "As a matter of fact, I DO! Jealous?!" Marlene THINKS about it, and she says: "Not really! I'd save MY dressing up for a MOVIE! More people would see me that way!" General Barracuda says: "Well, be that as it may; one of the FOUNDING Fathers of the United States is here! Please give it up for George SNIZ-ington! I can't BELIEVE I just HAD to say that!" Sniz arrives, wearing a wig of George Washington's hair, and Sniz says: "Just so long as you said it, that's all that matters! Now, it's time to find out WHO is confidant about their knowledge concerning the American Revolution!" Bulma says: "Eh, I can't win an Immunity Pendant anyways; but I don't think Taotie and DAGGETT will have any PROBLEM with this challenge!" Yakkity whispers in Bulma's ear: "Are you SURE that's a good idea?! I DON'T think they have ALL of their marbles; and they DO have a difficulty of being UNABLE to control their temper!" Bulma says: "That's EXACTLY what I'm counting on!" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "OH! She's GOOD!" / Bulma opens up a bag of popcorn, and she says: "I am SO going to ENJOY this!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right! Taotie and Daggett will go for the Purple Parrots! Green Monkeys?" Spongebob says: "Keswick and I will volunteer for this challenge!" Sandy asks: "Are you SERIOUS?! Since when were YOU a history buff!" Spongebob says: "Come on! I think having a 23 year running show is quite a BIT of history in itself! Besides, you're NOT the only member of OUR family who can be SMART, you know!" Sandy says: "I never SAID that I WAS!" Sandy sighs, and she says: "I can't compete against Spongebob! Larry, YOU and Pearl do the Steps of Knowledge!" Larry says: "All right, than! We'll do our best!"

(Confessional) Sandy says: "Showing up and potentially HUMILIATING Spongebob during a Steps of Knowledge Challenge? HARD PASS!!!!" / Larry says: "I never thought I would EVER see the DAY when Sandy would turn down the Steps of Knowledge! You think you KNOW a squirrel!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right! The volunteers have been selected! Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars, if either of you get down the Steps of Knowledge first, you will receive a valuable Immunity Pendant! Otherwise, the Purple Parrots will receive a Pendant of Life that THEY need for the Temple Run! Now, it's time to listen to Olmec, and find out more about this legend! The Legend Of The Lost Lantern From the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere! The actual event, not the poem, just for the record!"

Olmec says: "Prior to 1775, the people who lived in the American Colonies; considered themselves British citizens. However, after Great Britain won the Seven Years War in 1763; in order to pay for the losses they accumulated during that war; they began to tax the American Colonists! The Stamp Act of 1765, The Townshend Acts of 1767, and the Tea Act of 1773, were all cited as examples of 'Taxation Without Representation'. These acts eventually culminated in the Boston Massacre of 1770, and the Boston Tea Party of 1773, as signs of protests against the acts! Eventually, this led to the creation of a Continental Congress! At the second Convention of Virginia; on March 23, 1775; Patrick Henry had the following to say!" A man sounding like Harrison Ford says: "I know not what course others may; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!" Olmec says: "As it turns out, Patrick Henry didn't have long to wait for action to unfold. On April 18, 1775, between 9 P.M. and 10 P.M., fellow patriot Joseph Warren, warned Minutemen Paul Revere and William Dawes, that King George III's troops were about to embark in boats from Boston, bound from Cambridge, and the road to Lexington and Concord. Prior to the night, Paul Revere alerted Robert Newman, the officer of the North Church in Boston, to send a signal by lantern to alert colonists in Charlestown, Massachusetts to warn of the route the British were going to invade! 'One if by land, two if by sea!' That night, TWO lanterns were lit, signaling the intention of the British, to invade by the Charles River! After safely crossing the river himself, Paul Revere rode through the present day towns of Somerville; Medford, Massachusetts; and Arlington, Massachusetts; Paul Revere warned fellow patriots about the upcoming attack, and as many as 40 other riders delivered warnings of there own! Contrary to popular belief, Paul Revere did NOT utter the phrase 'The British Are Coming', as his message needed to be delivered in secret! Although Paul Revere got most of the credit, the actions of he, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott successfully alerted the Colonists to the attacks, and the American Revolution was born! One of the lanterns from that night, remains in North Church! But the other lantern was lost, until it found it's way to the Temple! Your job is to retrieve the Lost Lantern, and bring it back here!"

Sniz says: "Thanks Olmec! Where can the Lost Lantern from the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere be found?" Olmec says: "The Lost Lantern can be found in the Dark Forest!" Sniz says: "All right! You know the drill, so I'll let you get right to it! Olmec, take it away!" Olmec asks: "What war did Great Britain win, that indirectly led to the various acts of taxing the American Colonies?" Spongebob rings in and answers: "The Seven Years War in 1763!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down a step! Pearl says: "Sheesh! Spongebob IS fast!" Buhdeuce says: "All I'll say is that, my speed REALLY could've beaten HIS!" Olmec asks: "What Act was passed in 1765?" Daggett rings in and Bulma says: "Don't BLOW this one for US, Daggett!" Daggett yells: "I WILL NOT!!!!" Olmec says: "Sorry, that is incorrect!" Larry rings in, and Pearl answers: "The Stamp Act!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down a step! Daggett yells: "You LITTLE C--!" Bulma says: "Uh-uh-uh; Norbert's KIDS might be watching you!" Daggett breathes and says: "...Creep! YOU did that on PURPOSE!!!!" Bulma says: "I just call them like I see them! And considering what I've seen, you're REALLY not much to look at!" And Daggett just scowls angrily! Olmec asks: "What Acts were passed in 1767?" Spongebob rings in, and Keswick says: "The Townshend Acts!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down a step! Bulma says: "I bet you were REALLY wishing that you trusted me sooner! You guys just can't WIN without me!" Taotie yells: "OH, we CAN'T; HUH?! We'll SHOW you!!" Po says: "Don't DO it, Taotie! You're PLAYING right into Bulma's HANDS!" Taotie yells: "I DON'T CARE! I'm TEACHING her on PRINCIPLE!!!!" And Bulma quietly chuckles as she begins to eat the popcorn from her bag! Olmec asks: "What occurred in 1770?" Taotie rings in, and he says: "The shot heard round the world!" Olmec says: "Sorry, that is not the answer I was looking for." Larry rings in, and Pearl answers: "The Boston Massacre!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" Taotie says: "COME ON! I had THAT answer dead to rights!"

Bulma says: "You have to ONLY listen to information WITHIN Olmec's exposition! Didn't you ever WATCH the actual show?!" Daggett says: "Come ON; get the next one RIGHT already!" Taotie says: "Don't boss ME around; you're not the BOSS of me!" Daggett ruefully says: "Of COURSE I'm not; because Bulma is already doing that FOR you!" Taotie says: "In your DREAMS; you FREAKY little SHREW!" Daggett screams: "THAT DOES IT!!!!" And he engages Taotie in a "Big Ball of Violence!" Bulma laughs with glee, and she says: "I haven't had THIS much fun since I watched Barack Obama first take office on January 20, 2009!" Bubble Bass asks: "You're ENJOYING their senseless violence; aren't you?" Bulma says: "ONLY a lot! I'm not a fighter, so I have to live VICARIOUSLY through whatever I watch!" Bubble Bass says: "I'll give you points for honesty!" Olmec asks: "What took place in 1773?" Spongebob rings in and Keswick answers: "The Boston Tea Party!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "Congratulations, Green Monkeys! You've won an Immunity Pendant! Which one of you is going to keep it?" Keswick says: "Well, I don't think I could've answered if Spongebob hadn't rung in for me. I'm going to give it to him!" Spongebob takes the Immunity Pendant, and he says: "Thank you, Keswick. I promise to use this Immunity Pendant WISELY!" Sniz says: "Red Jaguars, you'll have to look in the Challenge Arena for YOUR Immunity Pendant, and will YOU two stop FIGHTING already?! The challenge is OVER, already!" The "Big Ball of Violence" dissipates, and Taotie asks: "WHAT? OVER?!" Taotie turns to Daggett, and Taotie angrily screams: "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!" Daggett sputters, and he replies: "MY FAULT?!" Bulma says: "Well, DUH; you idiotic, moronic, stupid, imbecilic, chuckle-headed DOPE! I TOLD you that you would BLOW that challenge for us! Now, how are we SUPPOSED to win two Pendants NOW?" Daggett says: "How about from your BIG, FAT, MOUTH?!!!"

Bulma actually LAUGHS at that, and she says: "That's ACTUALLY pretty funny, now! Sorry, but that trick ONLY works once on me; and you used UP your chance on season three, TWIT!" Daggett says: "Darn it!" Po says: "Bulma and I may not see eye to eye, but at LEAST she doesn't have SKEWED priorities like YOU do, Daggett! You are in SO much trouble if we lose!" Daggett's eyes narrow in horror, and he screams: "AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!" (Confessional) Daggett face-palms himself, and he says: "Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!! I can't BELIEVE I fell for the oldest TRICK in the book! All I HAD to do was to keep my temper, and NOT let anyone DISTRACT me! Now Bulma has LEVERAGE against me! How could I have POSSIBLY let her have THAT against me?! Maybe I SHOULD'VE kept Treeflower on after all!" / Taotie says: "Working for Bulma, MY foot! Does Daggett think I ENJOY having to tolerate Bulma's inflated sense of genius and superiority? Of COURSE not! But she can't keep UP her facade 24/7! She's BOUND to make a mistake sooner or later; and THAT'S when I'll make my move!" / Bulma says: "I'm not DELUDED! I know I can't POSSIBLY be mistake free ALL the time! I learned THAT lesson on Total Cartoon Global Cruise! What I HAVE learned, is how to make SURE, other contestants make BIGGER, WORSE mistakes than YOU do! Daggett fell for my ploy, just like I KNEW he would; and Taotie's SLIPPING off the sanity wagon! Now, all I need to do is to SEAL the deal, like I ALWAYS wanted to!" / Bubble Bass says: "So, Bulma ISN'T a fighter! I can use THAT knowledge to my advantage! The more Bulma TRUSTS me, the more her MOUTH will move; and the more LIKELY she'll say something that will TRIP her up!" / Po says: "Really, the way Bulma has been able to find herself ways to keep herself useful for THIS long, is NOTHING short of amazing; in a weird, SAD way!" (End Confessional)

Sniz says: "Okay! It's time for the Challenge Arena! Thanks to the brave Minutemen who warned the American Colonists of the invading British troops, people from as far as 25 miles away from Boston, knew of the British troops movements, while the British were STILL unloading their boats in Cambridge! Therefore, your challenge, will be a proportionately scaled down version of the distance traveled. Riding horses made of sticks, because insurance ISN'T willing to pay for anyone getting thrown off an ACTUAL horse, you will be riding your horse an equivalent of 760 feet, or 1/8 of a mile! You will be carrying a lantern prop all the way, and you must deliver it LIT at the end of the track! Your goal is accomplish this task 25 times! Or, as many times as you can within 3 minutes! Remember, Green Monkeys; if you win the challenge arena, you will GET to do a Temple Run, and compete for a reward! That's right! Since this is a REVOLUTION themed challenge, you will get to go to a REAL Revolution era town! Johnny Krill, tell our lucky winner what they can win!" Johnny Krill says: "Our winner, and a guest of your choice, will get to go to an all-expenses paid trip to Boston, and enjoy ALL the complimentary Boston Baked Beans they can eat! Baked Beans, they're good for your heart! The more you eat, the more CENSORS will try to censor you if you even THINK of finishing that rhyme!" Stimpy says: "Marlene, if I win the Temple Run; will you go with me?" Marlene says: "Sure; but why?" Stimpy whispers: "Well, I need someone to keep my mind off of Ren; and, I also want someone to make sure I don't eat too MANY Baked Beans, and you have a very good head on your shoulders!" Marlene says: "True! All right; I'm in!" Yakkity turns to Daggett, and Yakkity says: "This is your LAST chance, Daggett! Don't FAIL us this time!" Daggett says: "Don't you THINK I'm aware of that?!" Bulma says: "It's REALLY hard to TELL with you! I can't tell where the beaver STARTS, and where the STUPID ends!" Daggett sarcastically says: "WOW! It must have taken you at least a WHOLE ten SECONDS to come up with THAT one!" Bulma says: "Which is STILL 29 seconds faster than any insult YOU could come up with!" Taotie says: "OOH, BURN!!!!"

(Confessional) Daggett says: "I CLEARLY see the WRITING on the wall! Bulma and the others WANT to eliminate me no matter WHAT I do! Well, I guess it's time for a little protest of my own! I'm going to teach them a piece of history from India; Non-Violent Protest!" / Bulma says: "You know, I'd feel WORSE about eliminating Daggett...if it WASN'T so easy! But since it is, I'm NOT going to complain about it!" / Yakkity says: "One thing is for sure; with Daggett gone, our collective I.Q. levels can ONLY go up!" (End Confessional) Dudley looks at the fake horses made of sticks, and he asks: "Uh, does anybody know HOW much weight these wooden stick horses can support?" Sandy says: "Sure; why do you ask?" Dudley whispers: "Pearl!" Sandy's smile turns into a frown, and she says: "You MIGHT have a point! Pearl, would you MIND going LAST in this challenge?" Pearl says: "Sure; I guess so. But why?" Buhdeuce says: "Well, it's just that if the fake horse YOU'RE riding on breaks, at least we'll STILL have five other fake horses to work with!" Pearl angrily asks: "Is THAT true?!" Sandy says: "Come on! I wasn't going to SAY it, like THAT! Besides, I'm only thinking of YOUR safety! Do you think I WANT to have to vote you off? Of COURSE not! But I have to think about our WHOLE team! It's a double-edged sword!" Pearl calms down, and she says: "All right. I respect your decision about this challenge; but it doesn't necessarily mean I like it!" (Confessional) Pearl says: "It's times like these, you REALLY wish you had someone like Tigress to PUT everyone else in their place!" / Buhdeuce says: "I'm just playing by the rules! After all, it's completely the decision of SANDY and everyone else if they WANT to eliminate Pearl! I'm just helping them MAKE that decision WITH them! See how that works?" / Sandy sighs, and she says: "I can see now, why Stimpy TOLD me being a team leader was HARD work! You might get respect, but you also get hated and BLAMED whenever you have to make a hard decision everyone MIGHT not like! Oh, I REALLY wish I had an IMMUNITY Pendant right now!" / Buhdeuce smiles, and he says: "Speaking of Immunity Pendant..." Buhdeuce holds up the Red Jaguars Immunity Pendant, and he says: "Guess who just found his in the HORSESHOE bag?! I am SO good!" (End Confessional)

Sniz says: "All right! Everyone is ready! And because this is an equestrian based challenge, we'll play The Rolling Stones Wild Horses!" Po says: "That sounds cool! Let's really WIN this challenge!" Daggett says: "Win it YOURSELVES!" Bulma scoffs, and she says: "EXCUSE me?!" Daggett says: "It's become INCREASINGLY apparent to me, that I'm not WANTED around here! If you want Bubble Bass SO badly; you can HAVE him! But let's see how you FARE without my help!" Yakkity says: "But you'll be eliminated for SURE!" Daggett chuckles, and he says: "At least I'll be leaving on MY terms!" (Confessional) Bulma fumes in anger, and she says: "Oh, I HATE it when contestants find a way to have a MORAL victory!" / Daggett says: "Looks like the 'Master', didn't think of everything; DID she?!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right! Let's put six minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" / During the challenge, the Purple Parrots are finding it HARD to compete the challenge with just FIVE of them working; and the Red Jaguars don't fare much better, as Pearl's fake wooden horse DOES break, and she is unable to help out much in the challenge; while the Green Monkeys take on the challenge no problem! / Mick Jagger sings: "Childhood living is easy to do. The things you wanted, I bought them for you. Graceless lady, you know who I am. You know I can't let you slide through my hands. Wild horses couldn't drag me away! Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away! I watched you suffer a dull aching pain. Now you decided to show me the same. No sweeping exits, or offstage lines could make me feel bitter, or treat you unkind. Wild horses couldn't drag me away! Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away! (Instrumental Break) I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie. I have my freedom, but I don't have much time. Faith has been broken, tears must be cried. Let's do some living after we die. Wild horses couldn't drag me away! Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day! Wild horses couldn't drag me away! Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day!" / And the song ends as the challenge ends!

Sniz says: "The challenge is over! It's time to see how many lanterns each team delivered! The Purple Parrots delivered 1, 2, 4, 8 lanterns. The Red Jaguars delivered 1, 2, 4, 8, 10 lanterns. The Green Monkeys delivered 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 14 lanterns! The Green Monkeys are going to the Temple! Red Jaguars and Purple Parrots, your fates will be decided soon! Now, it's time to choose who will do the Temple Run and compete for the award!" Marlene says: "I'll go first!" Stimpy says: "And I'll go second!" Sniz says: "Very well! Map will fill in the visual information, while Olmec tells us about the Temple!" Map says: "I'm on it, Sniz!" And Map's visual information fills in as Olmec narrates! Olmec says: "First, you must board the pirate ship! Spin the ship's wheel, and head over the palm trees! Press down on the right tree, and head up into the Painter's Study! Place the missing pieces of the painting in the right order, than climb down into Medusa's Lair! Place the snakes into Medusa, than head into the Arctic Chamber! Press on the right igloo brick, than head into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the Monkey in the correct order, than head into the Emperor's Chamber! Smash the Clay Pots to find the key, and slide down into the Abandoned Mine Shaft! Smash through the Brick Wall, and head into the Dark Forest, where you can find the Lost Lantern from the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere! Pull on the right branch, than head through the Sandy Desert! Fill up the cactus with enough water, than head into the Spiritual Chamber! Push the right buttons, than head back through the Pit! Climb through the Sea Cave, and back to the Temple Entrance! The choices are yours, and yours alone! Good luck!" Sniz says: "All right! Remember, whoever gets back here in three minutes; they and a guest of their choice, will get an all-expenses paid trip to Boston! Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

Marlene takes off, and Sniz narrates the action as she goes along! / Sniz says: "Marlene's boarded the pirate ship, and a Temple Guard right off the bat! She gives up her Pendant! She's spun the ship's wheel! Over the Palm Trees! She's got to find the right tree, and she's found it! Up into the Painter's Study! She's got to put the pieces of the painting together! She's done it! Down into Medusa's Lair! Another Temple Guard! Go Stimpy, go! On the Pirate Ship, across the palm trees, into the Painter's Study, and down into Medusa's Lair! He's got to put the snakes in her hair! He's done it! Into the Arctic Chamber! He's got to press on the right igloo brick to proceed! He's done it! Into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! It's Johnny Krill as a Temple Guard! He gives up his Pendant, and now he's grabbing the base, he's got the stomach and the head, and he's putting them together! He's done it! Into the Emperor's Chamber! He's smashing the clay pots, and he's found the key! Down he slides into the Abandoned Mine Shaft! He's got to break through the Stone Wall, and he's done it! He's in the Dark Forest! He's got the Lost Lantern! All the Temple Doors are open! Through the Sandy Desert, through the Spiritual Chamber, through the Pit, and he's climbing through the Sea Cave! Stimpy's made it to the entrance, with 15 seconds to spare! Congratulations, Stimpy! You've won an all-expenses paid trip to Boston! Who are you going to take with you?" Stimpy says: "I promised I'd take Marlene with me, and I'm keeping my promise!" Sniz says: "Very well. Green Monkeys, especially Stimpy and Marlene, you can enjoy yourselves! Red Jaguars and Purple Parrots, you'll need to attend tonight's Elimination Ceremony, where two more contestants will be eliminated!"

(Confessional) Daggett says: "I just wanted to prove ONE thing; Bulma DOESN'T control EVERY aspect of this game, especially NOT the free will of other contestants!" / Bulma says: "Well, Daggett MIGHT have decided to be DIFFICULT about it, but at LEAST he WILL be leaving!" / Pearl moans, and she says: "Oh, MAN! I HATE it that Buhdeuce was right! How is THAT possible?!" / Buhdeuce says: "NEVER underestimate ANYBODY based on your PAST impressions of them! You might not know EVERYTHING that they are capable of!" / Sandy sighs, and she says: "So much for hoping that the remaining representatives of Spongebob Squarepants could remain untouched until the team merge. And like it or not, I HAVE to keep my word! It's just the HONORABLE thing to do!" (End Confessional) The Red Jaguars and Purple Parrots are at the Elimination Ceremony! Sniz says: "Quite frankly, I don't understand why YOU two are here! You GOT new members on your team! I thought that would help you prevail against the Green Monkeys!" Taotie says: "Which only means we need to cut out the DEAD weight! Am I right?!" Larry says: "I'm SHOCKED that I actually AGREE with you!" Sniz says: "Anyways, you know the drill! Cast your votes! But be careful, Purple Parrots! One of the Red Jaguars MIGHT use an Immunity Pendant! With that being said, VOTE!" And everyone quickly makes their choices as to who should leave! Sniz says: "Voting is over, so it's time--." Buhdeuce says: "Hold it! Just to make SURE I've got EVERYONE'S attention, I've got the Immunity Pendant, and I WILL be playing it on myself!" Larry yells: "WHAT?! When did HE become 'Tigress GOOD'?!!!" Po asks: "Is THAT what you're calling it now?" Larry says: "For lack of a better term, yes!" Sniz says: "The Immunity Pendant is real, that means all votes cast for Buhdeuce will not count. Now, it's time to reveal, who is safe! Sandy, Larry, Obviously Buhdeuce; Taotie, Po, Dudley, Chameleon, Bubble Bass, Yakkity Yak!" It narrows down to Pearl, Daggett, and Bulma!

Sniz says: "Contestants, we have ONE final Chocolate Pendant of Life left!" Pearl frowns apprehensively, Daggett scowls angrily at Bulma, and Bulma angrily scowls back at Daggett! Sniz says: "And I'm HONESTLY shocked, but it goes to BULMA!" Bulma says: "HA!!!! I KNEW I would beat you AGAIN!" Daggett says: "But a rather HOLLOW victory, isn't it? You LITERALLY had to get me angry, just to prove you were a better contestant than I was!" Bulma says: "So? It WORKED; didn't it?!" Daggett says: "Your plans CAN'T save you forever! Your day will come soon enough!" Pearl says: "And Sandy and Larry, you BETTER watch your backs! I don't think Buhdeuce has shown ALL of his tricks, yet!" Sniz says: "In any case, your bags are packed, so it's time to head for the Mine Cart of Shame!" Johnny says: "But with Pearl's weight, we'll have to use ALL the afterburner's on the Mine Cart!" Sniz says: "Fine! Than YOU make sure they all go off!" Daggett and Pearl put on their helmets, and strap themselves in the Mine Cart! Sniz asks: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" The Mine Cart warms up, juts forward a few inches, than quickly dies down! Johnny Krill asks: "WHAT?! What went wrong?!" Johnny inspects the back of the after-burners, and taps it in several places, but NOTHING happens! Johnny says: "Well, folks; it seems as though we're experiencing some technical difficul--." (BOOM!!!!) And the afterburners kick in AGAIN, burns OFF all of Johnny's clothes, and leaves him with a LIGHTLY charred look as the Mine Cart rockets through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Sniz laughs and he says: "Ha, ha, HA! I guess 'Mad Dog Hoek' STRIKES again! We are now down to 16 contestants! The margin for error grows ever smaller! Who will be the next to slip up? Can Sandy and Larry stay in charge of the Red Jaguars? And can the Purple Parrots make a come-back from this? Find out on the next episode, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "From the land of the free, and the home of the brave!" /

Stinger: Stimpy and Marlene are at a seafood restaurant in Boston Massachusetts, enjoying some clam chowder, and some albacore tuna! Stimpy says: "Marlene, don't you feel a little GUILTY that we're enjoying some seafood, despite the fact that some of their friends COME from the sea?" Marlene says: "Yeah, I hate myself for that! But most of it tastes just SO darn good! Besides, they can't COMPLAIN if they're not here!" Stimpy says: "I suppose THAT'S true! But, I can't help but get the feeling that you just tempted--." (SPLASH!!!!) Marlene yells: "What the HECK?!" Stimpy says: "It came from the ocean!" Stimpy and Marlene rush to the ocean, and they see that Daggett and Pearl have landed in their Mine Cart, in the Atlantic Ocean! Daggett yells: "Hey! Fancy seeing YOU two here!" Stimpy nervously says: "Yeah; it's REALLY funny about that!" Daggett says: "How about getting us a hand OUT of here?!" Marlene seriously says: "Daggett, you are a BEAVER! And Pearl is a WHALE! There is LITERALLY no one better qualified for getting out of this situation BUT you two!" Pearl says: "Hey! That's right! We could SWIM home!" Daggett says: "Could you let me hold on the back of you? I don't SWIM as fast as you?" Pearl asks: "Are you going to COMPLAIN if I don't?" Daggett bluntly says: "Well, yes." Pearl says: "Well, I'll do it. But only because you were HONEST about it!" And they swim away! Stimpy breathes a sigh of relief, and he says: "PHEW! Dodged a bullet THERE!" Marlene says: "Bullet, NOTHING! We dodged a freaking CANNONBALL! Now, let's hurry up and eat this, BEFORE something ELSE happens!" /

Personal Notes: I've always felt bad about the way I handled most of "Total Cartoon Global Cruise". Even though the season went pretty well, I always wondered if I could've written some aspects of that season better. For instance, was it POSSIBLE for the whole facade of Bulma's personality able to be CRACKED, and could it be accomplished WITHOUT Captain Retro's help? I wanted to make a great effort to show that, yes; the other contestants COULD accomplish this on their own; and it makes me feel really great that I didn't have to rely on a crutch character to get the job done! Daggett may have let his anger get the better of him, but he PROVED that he wasn't going to let BULMA decide how HE was going to leave; he was going to make that decision himself, and ACHIEVE a moral victory, if nothing else! Pearl, simply had the BAD luck of BEING a whale, with a considerable amount of size, weight, and mass; and it simply worked against her. That's why they both got the shaft this time! It will be interesting to see what happens next time. Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

I'm not even going to PRETEND that my newest episode of "Total Cartoon Legends" can COMPLETELY, comfortably fit in ONE post, so I'll just break the re-run in two as well; for the sake of myself, and for the sake of my readers! Enjoy! / Sniz is standing on top of the Steps of Knowledge, and he says: "Last time on Total Cartoon Legends, with the number of teams whittled down to three, it was time for a change in game-play! Between the Green Monkeys, the Red Jaguars, and the Purple Parrots, only one team could claim a victory! Bulma, sensing a golden opportunity to get RID of Daggett, and prop up Bubble Bass in Daggett's place; she sought to PURPOSEFULLY make Daggett angry with Taotie! Sadly, her plan worked ALL too well! Meanwhile, Pearl was having troubles of her own, when her weight ended up hindering, more than helping the Red Jaguars! However, Daggett ended up having the last word as to HOW he would be eliminated, when he FORCED the rest of the Purple Parrots to play the Challenge Arena without him; this not only cost his team a win, but also negated Bulma's otherwise flawless plan! In the end, the Green Monkeys won, and Stimpy and Marlene got to enjoy the reward! At the Elimination Ceremony, it ended up being Daggett and Pearl who had to take the long mine cart ride, out of the game show! Now, we are down to 16 contestants, and their knowledge about nature is about to be put to the test! Who will soar like an eagle? Who will sink like a stone? And who will be as quick as TIGRESS?! Who am I kidding?! I seriously doubt ANYBODY can be quick as Tigress! But for the other questions, we will provide the answers on today's episode, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where a picture is always worth a 1,000 words!" / Instead of the normal show open, it shows a montage of the remaining contestants, and their greatest experiences with the great out-doors, both from their own shows, and from their experiences on the Total Cartoon show; to the tune of Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere"! /

Christine McVie sings: "Can you hear me calling out your name? You know that I'm falling, and I don't know what to say. I'll speak a little louder, I'll even shout! You know that I'm proud and I can't get the words out! Oh I...I want to be with you everywhere. Oh I...I want to be with you everywhere. (Wanna be with you everywhere). Something's happening, happening to me. My friends say I'm acting peculiar. C'mon baby, we better make a start. You better make it soon before you break my heart. Oh I...I want to be with you everywhere. Oh I...I want to be with you everywhere. (Wanna be with you everywhere). (Instrumental Break) Can you hear me calling out your name? You know that I'm falling, and I don't know what to say. Come along baby, we better make a start. You better make it soon before you break my heart. Oh I...I want to be with you everywhere! Oh I...I want to be with you everywhere! Oh I...I want to be with you everywhere! Oh I...I want to be with you everywhere! (Wanna be with you everywhere)!" (Scats until the montage and song ends!) / "The Legend Of The Lost Binoculars of John Muir" / It is night-time, and the camera focuses in on Wally's and Future Rube's hotel room. Wally asks: "Rube, have you ever just taken the time to just look at the sky, or look somewhere far away?" Future Rube says: "Sometimes. Depending on the lighting, and what kind of event it is, I'll even take a picture with my camera!" Wally says: "Well, I was wondering more about looking at the stars. Before I was given genetic enhancements, my brother Gus and I used to look up at the stars all the time. We wondered if maybe, there were others out there; looking out from their planets, hoping to find somebody out there. It's strange, but I traveled across space, only to find the guy I most wanted to be with, was right here on Earth!" Future Rube says: "Well, to be fair, you DID need to spend some time traveling, before I was born!" Wally says: "True. I just hope that, when we DO finally get back together again, you'll be willing to go places with me. I have a feeling there are a lot of places we could discover together! I mean, Gus IS my brother; but it would be nice to have a soul-mate along for the ride!" Future Rube says: "As far as I'm concerned, you've got a first-class ticket preposition!" Wally says: "I'm glad to hear that! Do...do you suppose we could EVER have kids?" Future Rube asks: "Yours, or mine?"

Wally says: "Well, it really doesn't matter. As long as I'd have a family to raise. I think that I'm pretty good with children. I AM very sociable, you know!" Future Rube says: "I've noticed that! Well, if it really doesn't matter to you; I suppose I want to have kids. Needless to say, neither of us are in a big rush! I just know my mom and dad would really appreciate it, to know that their family line will be prosperous in the future!" Wally says: "Rube, I'm sure ANYONE related to you, will be just as SWEET as you are!" Future Rube says: "I sure hope so! Because like The Beatles once sang; 'Tomorrow Never Knows'." Wally says: "Technically speaking, they never SAID those words in that song!" Future Rube says: "I'm surprised that you KNOW that!" Wally says: "I'm surprised that we HAD this conversation!" Future Rube says: "Fair enough!" (Confessional) Future Rube says: "On the one hand, it would be kind of hard traveling SO far away from my mother and my father. But, I feel like when I'm with Wally; I feel like I'll ALWAYS be safe; no matter WHAT happens! Even though he's SHORTER than me, he feels like a guy I can depend on, no matter what! And I want to be a guy that HE can depend on as well! Because THAT'S what I think love is; two creatures willing to do ANYTHING for each other; preferably legal and ethical, to prove their TRUE love for each other!" / Wally says: "Even though I was given genetic enhancements, I'm not sure if I WOULD be able to pass them down to any children that I might have. At least Rube has a chance to pass down HIS genes to a new generation! I just hope that in his time, a love like ours; wouldn't be JUDGED by anyone! It would simply be accepted, no questions asked! I'm not sure if I can legally QUOTE John Lennon, so I'll paraphrase by saying; visualize all the creatures, just enjoying all the time. They might claim that I'm wishful, but I know I'm not alone. I would really like others to be inspired by us; and the globe could be united!" (End Confessional)

Meanwhile, at the Purple Parrots' trailers, Yakkity Yak is having trouble sleeping! Yakkity says: "Oh, it's just no use! I feel SO guilty about eliminating Pearl! I mean, she WAS Bubble Bass' half-sister! And now, he's got to take care of Infant Rube all alone again! I mean, my grandma raised me, even if I wasn't always the easiest yak to raise; but I know she would've preferred it if she had help! I think I should go offer my services. Than I'd feel better about myself!" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "Up until now, I've never questioned ANY decision that Bulma made! I always trusted that she knew what was the BEST move to make! But now that I'm feeling guilt from something I've done; I'm not so sure anymore! Besides, being friends with Bulma; doesn't mean I can't be friends with somebody else!" (End Confessional) Yakkity goes over to Bubble Bass' trailer, and Yakkity knocks on the door, and Bubble Bass asks: "Who is it?" Yakkity says: "It's me; Yakkity Yak! I...know we really haven't got a chance to get to know each other better; but, I was wondering if you might want some help raising Infant Rube!" Bubble Bass opens the door, and he asks: "You...WANT to help me raise Infant Rube?" Yakkity sighs, and he says: "It's the least I can do! I...didn't think I WOULD feel so guilty about voting off Pearl..." Bubble Bass sputters, and he exclaims: "You VOTED off PEARL?!" Yakkity whispers: "Not so loud, you'll wake Infant Rube!" Bubble Bass says: "Right! Explain yourself now, and I'll yell later!" Yakkity says: "Well, to be fair, when Sniz SAID that a Red Jaguar had an Immunity Pendant, I had NO way of knowing which Red Jaguar it was! I just voted the way that Bulma TOLD me to vote, and I hoped for the best! If I had known BUHDEUCE had the Immunity Pendant, I would've voted for him!" Bubble Bass says: "You're not just joking, are you?" Yakkity says: "Trust me! If I WAS joking, I'd be the FIRST to let you know!" Bubble Bass says: "Fair enough. But you know, you don't HAVE to help me just because you're feeling guilty!" Yakkity says: "I know I don't HAVE to; I WANT to! There's a difference! Besides; I'm...not sure if Bulma COMPLETELY has the team's best interests at heart!"

Bubble Bass says: "Join the club!" Yakkity asks: "There's a club?" Bubble Bass says: "Officially, not yet! But there soon WILL be! If you're on board, that will make things a lot easier! I need to organize a solid voting block with Po and Taotie! And with YOU on board; that will make things go REALLY smooth!" Yakkity says: "Even so; Bulma has ALWAYS been nice to me! I'm not SURE if I could just turn on her, like that!" Bubble Bass says: "Use your head! She's ONLY looking out for ONE person; and THAT'S herself! If she HAD to make a choice between YOU and herself to get to the Goddess Slot, she will ALWAYS pick herself first! And you can bet your button-up FUR on that!" Yakkity says: "I could, but I won't! I'll take your word for it! The question is, how are we going to do it?" Bubble Bass says: "Look, the ONLY reason she has LASTED as long as she has, is because she's ALWAYS made sure to get an Immunity Pendant when she NEEDS it, and help her team win challenges when she doesn't HAVE one! She PLANS on getting an Immunity Pendant today; so WE have to make sure she DOESN'T get one!" Yakkity says: "And what's the plan for that?" Bubble Bass says: "The EXACT same plan Bulma used to make SURE that AANG was eliminated! NEVER come up with a plan that can be COPIED, especially if you DON'T want someone else to use it against you!" Yakkity says: "Well, that DOES sound like a good plan! The question is, why would working for YOU be any better?" Bubble Bass says: "First off, I would NEVER consider you working FOR me; you'd be working WITH me! Second of all; unlike Bulma, I would NEVER try to hide my true intentions! Bulma might lie, but I always strive to be honest! And the truth is, I can't GUARANTEE that you'll make the team merge! The difference is, I'm WILLING to tell you that truth myself! And, the best chance YOU have, is to TRUST in your own skills! You HAVE the potential to be a legend, but only YOU can make that come true yourself!" Yakkity's eyes widen up, and lighten up brightly, and he asks: "Do you REALLY believe I can become a legend?" Bubble Bass says: "Hey, if it can happen to me; it has the potential to happen to ANYBODY!" Yakkity says: "All right! I'm in! I'll help take shifts raising Infant Rube, and we'll work TOGETHER to eliminate Bulma! That way, we won't have to worry about anymore blind-sides anymore!"

Bubble Bass says: "Thank you, Yakkity! I always KNEW you were one of the GOOD guys!" Yakkity says: "And I'll definitely start PROVING it a lot more, from now on!" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "The sad part is, I KNOW Bubble Bass is probably right! Bulma could, might, and probably WOULD sacrifice me if it meant getting the Goddess slot, just to PROVE that she can! I...don't WANT to betray her! So if I'm REALLY her friend, she'll have to PROVE it not through WORDS, but by her actions! Because actions speak louder than words!" / Bubble Bass says: "I WAS worried about how the Purple Parrots WAS going to eliminate Bulma if Yakkity wasn't on board with the plan. But now that he is, I know we can commit to the plan with no problem! I just need Yakkity to keep an eye on her to make SURE she DOESN'T find the Immunity Pendant, while the rest of us search for it, so that we can find it, and keep Bulma for using it! ONLY than, can we secure her elimination!" (End Confessional) It is morning, and everyone's in the cafeteria, eating breakfast! Spongebob's looking around, as if trying to find someone! Sandy asks: "Who are you looking for?" Spongebob says: "You usually KNOW when Pearl is coming, because you can feel the GROUND shaking! But I haven't FELT Pearl, so I'm trying to see if I can SEE her!" Sandy winces, and she says: "Yeah. About that; we...MIGHT have voted her OFF at the last Elimination Ceremony!" Spongebob sputters, and he asks: "Well, why would you DO that?!" Sandy says: "Come on! You think I WANTED to? I HAD to! She was WEIGHING our team down; LITERALLY! Besides, Buhdeuce HAD the Immunity Pendant, so we couldn't vote HIM off!" Spongebob says: "Okay, FINE! Even so, I would REALLY appreciate it if you could KEEP any FUTURE eliminations of OUR friends to a minimum of say...none!" Sandy says: "You know I can't REALISTICALLY promise you THAT! Even WITH Pearl gone, that STILL leaves five contestants left from Spongebob Squarepants! Only FOUR will get a chance to win any prize money, and only TWO will get to be in the Final Challenge! And...if it's NOT me there, I want it to be you."

Spongebob asks: "Why me?" Sandy says: "Because, the way these challenges have been going; I believe YOU have the best chance out of ALL of us to win this thing!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "Wow! Sandy REALLY believes in me! I mean, I wish she didn't HAVE to eliminate Pearl, but she DOES still have a point! We can't ALL get to the Final Four even if we all WANT to! So...I suppose I can let Sandy make ONE more tough call. But otherwise, I want to keep us all together if at all possible!" / Sandy says: "Admitting that I voted off Pearl to SPONGEBOB?! Yeah, THAT hurt! But he WAS the one who DIDN'T want to have to make the hard call in the FIRST place! I put MYSELF in that position, so he WOULDN'T have to do it! And...I feel like the time may come when I'll have to make ANOTHER hard call! And...I'm not sure if I CAN vote off Larry! I can't BELIEVE I'm saying this, but I might have to vote MYSELF off, if the worst has to come!" (End Confessional) Stimpy and Marlene enter the cafeteria, and Keswick says: "Welcome back, fellow contestants!" Marlene says: "Thanks for the warm welcome! And you'll be happy to know that Stimpy's baked bean eating was kept to a low minimum!" Dudley says: "We should ALL be so lucky!" Stimpy says: "Well, that's why I took Marlene! I can ALWAYS depend on her to keep things stabilized in our team!" Buhdeuce says: "I'm glad you HAVE that kind of stabilization! But; we're coming to a point where there ARE no easy eliminations left! There's only 16 of us left!" Chameleon says: "There's only ONE choice! We HAVE to target the Purple Parrots, and BULMA!!" Bulma scoffs, and she says: "Good luck with THAT! I FEAR you are destined to FAIL!!" Taotie says: "You know what they ALWAYS say; PRIDE goes before the FALL!" Bulma says: "All I know is; YOU will fall before ME!"

(Confessional) Stimpy says: "Now that I've had a break from the competition, I feel much more relaxed and able to focus on it! And...even if I don't win this season, I'd be happy if Marlene could! She is DEFINITELY winner material in MY books!" / Marlene says: "Out of all the zoo animals at the New York City Zoo, besides King Julien; I DEFINITELY had the most LEADERSHIP qualities of anyone! Not that I ever got to use them much; but they were, and still are always available if anybody WANTS them!" / Buhdeuce says: "I hate to say it; but Chameleon is right! We can't afford to play it SAFE anymore! We HAVE to target the Purple Parrots and Bulma; even if it means ONE of us gets eliminated in the process! The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few...or the one!" / Chameleon says: "I don't think Bulma will fall for 'The Old Switcheroo' trick again; so it's going to require SHEER skill to eliminate her THIS time! But working together, I KNOW we can all pull it off!" / Taotie says: "Bubble Bass has let me know, that he and Yakkity have formed a coalition to get RID of Bulma! It's about time! I'll get Po in on the action, and we can ALL eliminate her together!" / Bulma scoffs, and she says: "I WOULD be actually WORRIED about being ELIMINATED, if I THOUGHT anyone had an ACTUAL chance of doing it! But since I WILL inevitably FIND the Immunity Pendant FIRST; that chance IMMEDIATELY drops to ZERO!" (End Confessional) Sniz rings a gong, and over the loud-speakers, he says: "Attention Green Monkeys! At the last Elimination Ceremony, Daggett and Pearl were eliminated! Please proceed to the Moat, to find out about today's challenge! That is all!" Keswick says: "That's sad. Daggett was REALLY starting to get SMART, to!" Po says: "Don't worry about it, Keswick! If we all work together, we can avenge his loss! After all, there's FIFTEEN of us, and only ONE Bulma! She's NOT smart enough to beat ALL of us at the same time!" Keswick says: "The key phrase THERE; is 'At the same time'!"

(Confessional) Po says: "Taotie tells me there's a solid plan to get rid of Bulma, and I'm all in on that! I don't know what will happen AFTER that; all I know for sure, is that the game will proceed a LOT more smoothly!" / Keswick says: "Well, this is the moment I've been dreading and simultaneously anticipating! The moment where I get to see, if my knowledge is better than Bulma's! She might have bested me once, but I will NOT let her get the best of me again! Either way, I have NOTHING to lose! I'll either be a hero, or a goat. And I have NO intention of being a goat!" (End Confessional) The contestants get suited up into their team colors, and head for the moat, only to find it FILLED with giant strawberries! Keswick says: "WOAH! Either somebody is a REALLY good gardener, or someone went a little CRAZY with C.R.I.S.P.R. Technology!" Johnny Krill says: "Trust me! If I planted and grew it, you WOULD be the first to know! I put 110% into EVERYTHING I do!" Sandy says: "Uh, 110% is mathematically impossible!" General Barracuda says: "Not if you're Mr. T, it isn't!" Larry says: "OOH, he's got you THERE, Sandy!" Sniz says: "Trust me! There's a REALLY good reason why the moat is filled with giant strawberries; and the strawberries TASTE like strawberries!" Marlene says: "Do the SCHNOZBERRIES taste like SCHNOZBERRIES?" Sniz says: "Well, yes. But that's NOT the point! The point is, today's challenge is going to be NATURE themed!" Bulma sarcastically says: "Oh, GREAT! ANOTHER challenge that INSULTS my overall intellect! You know that I'm WAY overqualified to be on this show! They haven't invented a trivia show YET that could stump me!" Buhdeuce says: "There's always a first time for everything!" Bulma scoffs, and she says: "I've already lost ONCE! If I'm going to LOSE again; it's NOT going to be against a DUMB-BUTT like you!" Wally says: "I'll REMIND you, it was 'Dumb-butts' like me, AND Chameleon, that permanently sent YOUR plans off the rails in season three!"

Bulma says: "Maybe so; but unlike LIGHTNING, you will NOT strike in the same place twice; or MULTIPLE times for that matter!" Taotie asks: "I'm no expert, but DOES lightning strike multiple times in the same place?" Po sighs, and says: "Sadly, she's right! Because lightning is LITERALLY made of light; it moves SO fast, that what looks like ONE singular bolt of lightning hitting the ground to OUR eyes; is actually a BUNCH of bolts of lightning hitting for just the FEW seconds that we DO see a lightning bolt! It's the same principle for why the SOUND of lightning; thunder, doesn't reach our ears until AFTER we've seen the lightning bolt!" Bulma sarcastically claps her hands, and she says: "Congratulations on RECAPPING my PRE-SCHOOL science display that I made when I was THREE!" Future Rube says: "If you were REALLY smart; you'd be a LOT more humble about it!"

Bulma asks: "Can I help it if I KNOW my own genius?" Marlene says: "ONCE would be NICE! But if warning you didn't stop you the LAST time; I highly doubt it WILL this time!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "Unlike last time; Bulma can't USE Skipper as leverage for getting me out THIS time! I'd be personally HAPPY to be the one to send Bulma home!" / Buhdeuce says: "You know, I WAS going to go EASY on her on the Steps of Knowledge! But NOPE!! She HAD to use the 'D' word; so now the metaphorical kid gloves are OFF!!!!" / Wally says: "The last time I faced Bulma in competition, my friends and I had to take the LONG road to do it, because she had Zarbon at her disposal! This time, without him around, we can go STRAIGHT for the source! I don't know what will happen after that; but I'll cross that bridge once I come to it!" / Taotie says: "Wow! No WONDER it hurt so much when my electrical translation collar malfunctioned! It just goes to show you how fast nature can be!" / Po says: "As far as I know, the only thing faster than Tigress is LIGHTNING! She can't move faster than THAT yet; but she keeps trying! You definitely got to give her points for her persistence and determination!" / Bulma yawns, and she says: "The contestants are getting TIRED of MY genius AGAIN! Now where have I seen THAT before? Oh yeah! EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE, but replace the word 'Contestants' with 'People'! Why can't they just ACCEPT that I'm the smartest and be CONTENT with their mediocre I.Q.'s? It would make life for them a LOT more easier!" / Future Rube says: "In the future, we have a WORD for what she is! Technically, they have it now; but it's inappropriate NOW, and it will BE inappropriate than; so I can't and WON'T say it, for the sake of my parents!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Trust me! I am...VERY fascinated that you know so much about LIGHTNING! But today's challenge revolves around the great outdoors in general! And Olmec will tell us why! Olmec, what is today's legend?!"

Olmec says: "Today's Legend, is The Legend Of The Lost Binoculars of John Muir!" Sniz says: "And because we're doing a nature challenge, what would be a BETTER way to celebrate it, than by going through Strawberry Fields?! Here, the strawberries grow SO big; you can LITERALLY step on them! And don't worry; after you finish stepping on them, we'll wash them thoroughly, and make DELICIOUS strawberry cheesecakes with them! You must cross the Moat by using the rope pulley system, and making sure to step on each strawberry in the path before you continue! Once everyone on your team has gotten across; you will ring your Gong Pedestal, in order to win a valuable Pendant of Life! Green Monkeys, you have one extra member that you need to sit out!" Keswick says: "I'm not much of a swinger; I need to sit this one out!" Wally says: "That's okay! I'll swing twice as fast for the BOTH of us!" Bulma opens up a lip-stick, and she says: "Do you HEAR that; Taotie?! Somebody thinks they are a BETTER swinger than YOU!" Bulma applies her lip-stick on her mouth, and she says: "Why don't you do your CLASSIC scheming thing and 'Handle' them like you ALWAYS do?" Taotie defiantly says: "NO!!!!" Bulma ANGRILY breaks her lip-stick in two, and she angrily says: "Like; WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!!" Taotie says: "Oh, I'm SORRY! Was THAT too complicated for you? I'll TRY dumbing it down to YOUR level! DUH!!!!" Bulma says: "Po, Taotie is a THREAT!!!! Get RID of HIM!!!!" Po says: "Sorry, Bulma! I'm ON Taotie's side, now!" Bulma ACTUALLY panics, and she says: "Yakkity, take CARE of them!" Yakkity asks: "What's the magic word?" Bulma actually has to STRAIN her brain, and she says: "Oh, what's that word everyone ELSE always has to use?! Pu...pu...PUH...LEE...ASE!!!!" Yakkity asks: "Was it REALLY that hard to say?!" Bulma, over-dramatically coughs and exclaims: "YUCK!!!! P-tooey! P-tooey! P-tooey!" Yakkity scoffs, and he says: "Forget it! If you're going to act THAT childish over saying 'PLEASE', forget it!" Bulma looks up at Bubble Bass, and she says: "Et tu, Bubble Bass? Et tu?" Bubble Bass says: "Technically speaking; that would imply I was EVER on your side to BEGIN with! But, since I wasn't; you have NO one to blame for ALIENATING everybody else but yourself!"

Bulma screams: "I have WORKED my fingers to the BONE to GET this FAR; and SUCK up the WORST aspects of my PERSONALITY, just so you would be willing to GIVE me the TIME of DAY!!!! After everything I've DONE for this TEAM; I DESERVE to GET THE GODDESS SLOT; and I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!!!" Bubble Bass sighs, and he seriously says: "Okay! That's it, Princess! The Fairy Tale is over!" Bubble Bass leans in, and yells: "WELCOME TO REAL LIFE! You want the Goddess Slot so badly? EARN IT! And SHOW some FREAKING Empathy for once!" Bulma angrily says: "YOU take that BACK!" Bubble Bass says: "No YOU; take that back!" Bulma says: "How DARE you; you INSOLENT PEASANT?! NOBODY talks to ME that way! Nobody! NOBODY!!!!" Her voice echoes: "NOBODY! Nobody! Nobody..." Bubble Bass says: "Well, what have we got here? Those flashing eyes, those fleshed cheeks, those trembling lips! You know something, Bulma? You are UGLY when you're ANGRY!" Bulma angrily says: "THAT does it! I am GOING to turn YOU into a--!" Po says: "PLEASE! Enough, is enough! I think Bulma knows where we all STAND on how we FEEL about the way she's treated everyone else in the past; now she knows what it feels like when SHE'S treated the same way! It doesn't feel so GOOD; does it?" Bulma says: "Oh, so you're ALL abandoning me? How do you plan on getting to the team merge WITHOUT ME?!!!" Taotie says: "We'll take our chances!" Bulma desperately says: "COME ON!!!! I'll make a DEAL!!!! EVERYONE has their PRICE!!!! I've got MONEY; LOTS of money! I'll pay TWICE what you COULD win! You'll NEVER get another offer that good!" Po says: "Has it ever occurred to you, that maybe the reason we're IN this thing, isn't even ABOUT the money, or about some magical 'Goddess Slot', or some IMAGINED happy feeling that you'll get by PROVING that you could GET to the 'Goddess Slot' WITHOUT cheating?!" Bulma says: "WHAT, than?! What's possibly be MORE important than THAT?!"

Taotie says: "Making a friendship! A REAL friendship! A friendship I otherwise could've never had if I hadn't ABANDONED villainy, and found out what being a true friend was all about!" Bulma gasps, and she says: "You mean, you WEREN'T FAKING YOUR HEEL-FACE TURN THIS WHOLE TIME?!" Bubble Bass says: "Another miscalculation, I guess! Isn't that the EXACT same mistake you made with Chameleon? Well, it looks like you WERE right about one thing!" Bulma asks: "What's that?" Bubble Bass says: "Lightning can, and DOES strike more than once in the same place! The sad part is, you DIDN'T have to go OUT of your way to PROVE it to us! Unlike what you thought, WE already knew that!" And everyone except Yakkity turns away from her! Bulma is on the ground, and she reaches out for one of Yakkity's hands, and she cries and says: "Yakkity, I PROMISE; I WAS going to take you ALL of the WAY with ME!" Yakkity sighs, and he says: "I know deep down, you probably DO believe THAT was true!" Bulma cries, and she says: "PLEASE don't leave me! You HAVE to believe me! You're the ONLY friend I've EVER made on this entire show! There must be some WAY to PROVE that to you!" Yakkity sighs, and he says: "From what I know, there's only one way you COULD prove that!" Bulma says: "Tell me! Your friendship means EVERYTHING to me!" Yakkity says: "Vote yourself off, or QUIT! If YOU are able to PROVE that you can sacrifice YOUR ambitions for me, that will PROVE you ARE telling the truth! Than, I can be friends with you!" And Yakkity walks away! And Bulma lowers her head in anguish!

(Confessional) Bulma sobs, and she says: "It's SO unfair, and it's ALL my fault! I thought being humiliated in season three was BAD; but, I never thought I would have to keep paying for what might be my GREATEST failure for so LONG after that! Or that it would CAUSE my ONE friend to turn away from me! I guess it's true what some people say; you NEVER see it coming, when the WORLD caves in on you! I can't leave as a villain, not again! I thought I needed to get to the Goddess Slot by NOT cheating in order to prove my greatness! But now; only one thing matters to me! I HAVE to prove to Yakkity, that his friendship really DOES mean that much to me! Even if everyone else can't truly forgive me for the messes I made; I HAVE to make things right, for the one TRUE friend I ever made!" / Yakkity sighs, and he says: "Neptune, I don't know if you can hear me; or if you're even there. I don't know if you would listen to a Yak's prayer. Please help Bulma find her way to being the best version of herself! I need to know that her friendship with me, WAS and IS for real!" / Po says: "Coming on down hard on Bulma like that? Yeah, that hurt! But after everything she DID in season three; getting others to do her dirty deeds for her just because SHE didn't have the NERVE to do it herself? As far as I'm concerned, she GOT what SHE deserved!" /

Bubble Bass says: "It...was a tough call to make. I mean, I think the only reason I GOT all the way to the Final Two on Total Cartoon Island Strikes Back, is because I was able to recognize early on, that being anti-social would not get me very far! And because I recognized it, and made an HONEST attempt to become a better guy, I was able to receive a Karmic reward! But Bulma; she had ALL of season three to realize her HORRIBLE mistakes, she NEVER made ANY attempt to correct herself or to EVER admit she was wrong; and she did it ALL just to get her hands on some Clean Slate, to ERASE an embarrassing but rather insignificant bit of history about herself! Well, after all the trouble she went through to do that; I have to wonder, was it worth it, Bulma Briefs?" / Taotie says: "Man, you don't know how long I've WAITED to be on the OPPOSITE end of THAT scenario! It felt so GOOD to FINALLY be in the right, for once! I guess what Po said IS true! Good FEELS good!" (End Confessional) General Barracuda groans, and he says: "Well, are we GOING to do the Moat Challenge or NOT?!" Bulma sighs, and she says: "Oh, this is SO gonna SUCK!!!!" Bulma gets up, and she says: "Yes, we ARE going to do the Moat Challenge, and, I guess I'll go first for the Purple Parrots, because I have something that I NEED to prove!" And everyone gasps in shock! (Confessional) Taotie says: "Something that she NEEDS to prove? Now this, I've got to see!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Very well! To get you in the mood for this challenge, you will cross to the tune of The Beatles' Strawberry Fields Forever! Is everybody ready?" Bulma gulps nervously, and she says: "As ready as I'll EVER be!" Sniz says: "On your marks, get set, GO!" / During the montage, Bulma keeps PURPOSEFULLY slipping, tripping, and generally making an utter FOOL of herself trying to cross, and making SURE that Yakkity sees EVERYTHING she is doing, while everyone else continues with relatively no problem! /

The Beatles sing: "Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about! Strawberry Fields forever! Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out. It doesn't matter much to me. Let me take you down, cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields! Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about! Strawberry Fields forever! No one I think is in my tree. I mean, it must be high or low. That is you can't, you know, tune in but it's all right. That is, I think it's not too bad. Let me take you down, cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields! Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about! Strawberry Fields forever! Always know, sometimes, think it's me. But you know, I know when it's a dream. I think a 'No,' I mean, a 'Yes', but it's all wrong. That is, I think I disagree. Let me take you down, cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields! Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about! Strawberry Fields forever. Strawberry Fields forever. Strawberry Fields forever! (Instrumental Solo, song fades out, only to fade back in). Cranberry sauce." / And the song ends as the challenge ends, as the Red Jaguars are the FIRST to finish crossing! Sniz says: "And it's over! The Red Jaguars have won their first Pendant of Life! Everyone else will have to try to win one during the Steps of Knowledge!" Keswick says: "Well, I sure hope Bulma's BRAINS are BETTER than her complete LACK of athletic skills, otherwise; the Purple Parrots DON'T stand a chance!" Bulma groans, winces, and she says: "Today, is SO not going to get any better for me, is it?" Bubble Bass says: "Well, I would SAY that it WOULD; but realistically, probably NOT!" Bulma says: "I'll give you points for honesty!" Sniz says: "We got to get Bulma dried up. But we'll be right back for MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / I'll break here and stop for now. Enough said, for now!

[4EverGreen]

It's time for the re-run of the second and final half, of the episode, "The Legend Of The Lost Binoculars of John Muir!" Enjoy! / After the commercials end, the contestants gather at the Steps of Knowledge! Buhdeuce looks to Bulma, and he asks: "What happened to Mrs. 'I'm SUPERIOR to EVERYBODY in EVERYTHING Knowledge Related'?! I thought you were SMART enough to figure out how to step on a giant STRAWBERRY!" Bulma is CLEARLY incensed, but she holds back her anger, and in an irritated tone, she says: "Don't make this harder for me than it ALREADY is! I'm TRYING to prove a point to a FRIEND!" Marlene scoffs, and she says: "FRIENDS?! You mean like how Kaput, Snaptrap, Zim, Gonard, Zarbon, Angelica, Oonski, Taotie, Skipper, and I were at one point all YOUR 'Friends', before you inevitably BETRAYED us?!" Bulma says: "Come ON!!!! It's BEEN almost TWO whole seasons already! Why can't you ACCEPT the fact that I've CHANGED?!" Larry says: "Because you don't DESERVE to have others 'JUST' accept the fact that you've changed! Blonda, Squidward, Tigress, Treeflower, Daggett, Spongebob, Taotie, Chameleon, Bubble Bass, and I, have all worked HARD to change and PROVE that we HAVE change! And you expect us to just 'SUDDENLY' believe that YOU'VE changed TO?! Trust isn't SOMETHING you just get; trust is SOMETHING you earn!" Bulma asks: "Than how? How do I EARN it?" Yakkity says: "For starters, you can START by trusting in me! If you've REALLY changed, you will LET me answer ALL of the questions on the Steps of Knowledge!" And Bulma gulps nervously!

(Confessional) Bulma says: "Oh, great! I'm in a 'Morton's Fork' dilemma! If I DON'T let Yakkity answer all the questions, I LOSE his friendship and any CHANCE of a good reputation! If I DO let him answer all the questions, I LOSE an Immunity Pendant, and I'll be voted out for SURE! But if I go back on my word to Yakkity NOW, nobody will EVER forgive me! I have no choice! I...HAVE to let Yakkity answer all the questions! May Vegeta have MERCY on my soul!" / Buhdeuce says: "Doesn't feel so good, does it? When the shoe is on the OTHER foot?" / Marlene scoffs, and she says: "The day that I BELIEVE Bulma Briefs has ACTUALLY changed; is the day that I admit that I STILL listen to Captain Retro's weekly radio show on Friday's, 12-2 P.M.; er...I mean, IF I still listened to him! PHEW! Saved it!" / Larry shakes his head, and he says: "I always KNEW Bulma's complete LACK of interest, in her KNOWLEDGE on learning ABOUT the actual contestants she's been interacting with would ultimately do her in. Now, she's up a creek without a paddle, a compass, a map, and with absolutely NO form of technology that COULD help her now! And the worst part is, she got there ALL by herself!" / Yakkity says: "Look, I'm not going to PRETEND that I always KNOW all of the technical terms Bulma uses whenever she goes off on one of her technological or scientific spiels, but I think I know whether or not someone is being honest with me. But Bulma? Even I don't know for sure! I guess I'll KNOW soon enough!" (End Confessional) Taotie chuckles at Bulma's dilemma, and he turns to Po, and Taotie says: "Po, I feel that we will soon rid ourselves of a burden, NOT ours in the first place!" Po says: "To be honest, I wasn't sure HOW I was going to carry on in this competition WITHOUT Tigress. But you? You've been a true, loyal, REAL friend to me since she left! I...really owe you a lot for helping us BOTH to get even THIS fat!" Taotie excitedly asks: "You really mean it?!" Po says: "Of course I do! It's one of the primary traits of the Dragon Warrior!" Taotie says: "Wow! And to think, all this time I WASTED being a villain towards you, I could've spent it HONESTLY being your friend!" Po says: "What matters is, we're FRIENDS now; and I don't think ANYTHING is going to change that!" Taotie says: "Thanks, Po! That means a lot to me, to finally have a real friend! Do...you mind if I give you a hug?" Po says: "Of course not! But I do appreciate that you asked first!"

Taotie hugs Po's belly, and Taotie says: "Wow! You ARE soft and fluffy! It's no wonder Tigress enjoys your company so much!" Po says: "Among OTHER things!" (Confessional) Taotie says: "I feel that having gained Po's friendship; I consider myself as having already WON the real prize! Bing Zao, your father is going to return home a RESPECTED member of Peace Valley; and THAT is a promise!" / Po says: "Well, it definitely took time, but I feel that Taotie has FINALLY shaken off ALL of his bad vibes! If there's someone you TRULY believe in, you should ALWAYS try to help them be the best version of themselves! Now, it doesn't always work out; but that doesn't mean you SHOULDN'T always be the best version of YOURSELF! I certainly can't understand why ANYONE would want to be the WORST version of themselves! It just takes to much time, effort, AND work!" (End Confessional) Sniz arrives, and he says: "Okay, everybody; I'm HERE!!" Bulma grunts, and she says: "Must...resist urge...to be...sarcastic!" Stimpy says: "SHEESH! I haven't seen ANYONE in such agony since the time I put the Happy Helmet on Ren! MAN; I meant well, but I was SO naive and misguided back than!" Sniz says: "Well hopefully, you won't be in agony, or misguided once we talk about today's legend!" Sandy says: "You mean when OLMEC talks about today's legend!" Sniz says: "Potato, tomato, semantics! That's ALL it is! Does anybody ELSE have any OTHER inane comments that they'd LIKE to make?!" General Barracuda says: "Well, judging from the tone of HIS voice; I'd SAY he was BEING sarcastic!" Bulma, NOT wanting to come off as condescending; reaches into her purse, and pulls out a wooden sign, that says in big, BRIGHT red letters: "DUH!!!!" Wally says: "Well, at least SHE knows of a good, classic gag when she SEES one!" Sniz says: "Okay, since we have no takers; Olmec will simply START at the beginning! And when he comes to the end; he'll stop! See how that works? So, let us hear it!"

Olmec says: "While some people may take the concept of National Parks for granted these days; there was a time when there WEREN'T protected areas of natural wilderness! While John Muir didn't invent the concept of a national park, he definitely helped make the very idea of them, popular to people who wanted to see the untarnished beauty of nature! Born on April 21, 1838; in Dunbar, Scotland of the United Kingdom; John Muir and his family immigrated to the United States in 1849, starting a farm near Portage, Wisconsin. When he was 22 years old, John Muir took a Botany class at the University of Madison-Wisconsin, which began his fascination and admiration with nature! In 1864, John Muir first began his nature travels in Southern Ontario; collecting and cataloging various plants! The legend says that John Muir always carried a pair of binoculars with him; first using the Porro Prism binoculars starting in 1864; before switching to the technologically superior Roof Prism binoculars in 1897! Although John Muir walked 1,000 miles of trail from Kentucky to Florida in September 1867, it wasn't until John Muir moved to Yosemite Valley in 1868, that John Muir was overwhelmed by the landscape! John Muir was one of the first, to put forward the now-accepted theory, that Yosemite Valley was created largely, by glacial sculpting! Not only did John Muir discover an active alpine glacier below Merced Peak in 1871, but a large earthquake in 1872 located near Lone Pine, California; ended up creating a pile of Scree Tallus deposits, leading further credence to his theory! In June 1889, John Muir began fighting for the right for Yosemite Valley to become a nationally protected park! While it already had some state protections, it wasn't until John Muir founded the Sierra Club on May 28, 1892; and led a successful campaign in 1906 to FINALLY transfer Yosemite from a state, to a federally controlled national park, did John Muir achieve his greatest achievement, with the help of than U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt! John Muir passed away at the age of 76, at the California Hospital in Los Angeles on December 24, 1914; of Pneumonia! While there have been 23 things named in his honor, his Binoculars were lost, until they find their way to the Temple! Your job is to retrieve the Lost Binoculars of John Muir, and bring them back here!"

Sniz says: "Thanks Olmec! Where can the Lost Binoculars of John Muir be found?" Olmec says: "The Lost Binoculars can be found in the Abandoned Crevasse!" Sniz says: "All right! I want to know who will be participating in the Steps of Knowledge!" Keswick says: "Spongebob and I will volunteer for the Green Monkeys!" Buhdeuce says: "Dudley and I will volunteer for the Red Jaguars!" Bulma sighs, and she says: "And Yakkity and I will volunteer for the Purple Parrots!" Sniz says: "All right, than! Get into your positions! Okay, good! All right! Olmec, take it away!" Olmec asks: "True or False; John Muir invented the concept of a National Park?" Yakkity rings in, and he says: "False!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Purple Parrots move down a step! Marlene asks: "What's the MATTER, Bulma?!" Marlene points to Stimpy, and she asks: "CAT got your TONGUE?!!!" And Bulma has to PUT her left fist in FRONT of her mouth in order to MUFFLE her: "Errr!!!!" Olmec asks: "When and where was John Muir born?" Spongebob rings in, and Keswick answers: "On April 21, 1838; in Dunbar, Scotland!" Olmec says: "That is CORRECT!!!!" The Green Monkeys move down a step, and Keswick says: "It looks like I can keep up with you PRETTY easily; huh, Bulma?!" Bulma says: "I NEVER said you COULDN'T!" Chameleon asks: "SERIOUSLY?! Does anyone know if she DID say it?!" Johnny Krill says: "I can fully assure you, she DIDN'T! I think the 'Mandela Effect' must be in play!" Sandy says: "I'm SURPRISED that you know what THAT is!" Bulma says: "Maybe YOU shouldn't JUDGE a book by it's cover!" Larry says: "Like YOU'RE one to TALK!" Bulma grits her teeth together, and restraining herself, she says: "The main difference is, I'M actually TRYING!" Taotie says: "Oh, she IS trying; VERY trying!" Yakkity says: "IGNORE HIM!!" Sniz says: "Noted, moving on!" Olmec asks: "When and where in America, did John Muir and his family immigrate to?" Yakkity rings in and says: "In 1849, they immigrated to Portage, Wisconsin!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Purple Parrots move down a step! Bulma says: "You are doing SUCH a wonderful job, Yakkity! Can I give you a hug?" Yakkity seriously says: "I'm NOT giving you the Immunity Pendant if I win it!"

Bulma groans, and she says: "Oh, why does everyone always ASSUME that I WANT something in RETURN for something?! Can't a LADY honestly give her BEST friend a simple 'Congratulations' anymore?" Bubble Bass asks: "WHY? You've NEVER done THAT before!" Bulma says: "There's a first time for EVERYTHING!" Olmec asks: "Where did John Muir take a Botany class?" Buhdeuce rings in, and he answers: "At the University of Madison-Wisconsin!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down a step! Buhdeuce asks: "Are you NERVOUS, Bulma? If WE win the Steps of Knowledge, we'll ALREADY be eligible to compete in the Temple Run!" Bulma irritated, says: "I don't NEED you to REMIND me!" Wally says: "And WE never needed YOU to remind US of stuff that WE already knew, but THAT certainly NEVER stopped you!" Future Rube says: "OOH, he's got you THERE, Bulma!" Olmec asks: "Where did John Muir travel to, in 1864?" Spongebob rings in, and answers: "Southern Ontario!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down a step! Bulma nervously says: "Okay! There's NO pressure, and NO obligation to give ME anything; but will you...PLEASE answer the next question? If you do, you can keep...the Immunity Pendant!" Yakkity says: "Promise, PROMISE?!!!" Bulma exclaims: "If I'm LYING, I hope to be struck by LIGHTNING!!!!" And she ACTUALLY braces herself, as if EXPECTING lightning to hit her REGARDLESS, but NOTHING happens! Bulma says: "SEE?!!!" Taotie says: "Well, at least she's gambling with her OWN game, now! She's ACTUALLY making PROGRESS!" Yakkity says: "All right! I'll do it, for the TEAM!" Olmec asks: "What brand of binoculars, was the first pair that John Muir owned?" Yakkity rings in, and he says: "Porro Prism Binoculars!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Purple Parrots move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "The Purple Parrots did it! And they receive an Immunity Pendant of Life! Who wants to hold onto it?!" And Bulma has to PHYSICALLY turn her head away and NOT look at it, but it STILL doesn't stop her from CRYING about it! Yakkity says: "I...don't think Bulma's in any condition to take it. I better hold onto it myself!" Sniz says: "Very well! In that case, it's time for the Challenge Arena!"

Taotie says: "Bulma didn't DEMAND the Immunity Pendant?! That's NOT like her!" Keswick says: "Bulma WILL make a scene! It's ONLY a matter of TIME!" And Keswick literally WAITS a beat, but NOTHING happens! Keswick nervously says: "Right? RIGHT?!!!" (Confessional) Keswick says: "COME ON!!!! Why isn't Bulma FREAKING out?! She ALWAYS freaks out at the SLIGHTEST moment when things don't go HER way!" / Bulma yells: "OH, SHENRON!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE DIRTY, STINKING, ROTTEN, LOW-DOWN, NO-GOOD BIFFER BATTEN, CLIPPER CLATTEN, DIFFER DATTEN, FLIFFER FATTEN, GLIFFER GAFFEN, HIFFER HATTEN, JIFFER JATTEN, KIPPER KATTEN, LIFFER LAFFIN, MIFFER MATTEN, PIFFER PATTEN, RIFFER RATTEN, SIFFER SATIN, TIFFER TATTIN, WHIFFER WHATTIN, YITTER YAPPIN, ZEPHYR ZAPPIN, MACHIAVELLIAN DAYS!!!! It's getting downright IMPOSSIBLE to get away with ANY crimes, past, present, and in Future Rube's case, FUTURE anymore! Well, I BETTER have paid for the WORST mistake I have EVER made, by now!" / Marlene says: "OOH!!!! She's REALLY spicy if she went OUT of her WAY to make up her OWN swear words! Usually, you have to pay EXTRA for THAT!" / Yakkity holds the Immunity Pendant in his hands, and in a wide-eyed expression, says: "She DID it! She ACTUALLY let me HAVE the Immunity Pendant! She ACTUALLY kept her word! So does that mean, she's REALLY been honest to me this whole time? Well...that's STILL only HALF of the bargain! The question remains is; whether or not she HAS the dignity to follow THROUGH on her promise to the very end!" / Sandy says: "At this point, I'm not SURE whether Bulma will keep her composure; or whether she'll lose her temper! And it WORRIES me, that even I can't predict what side of Bulma's will win! Historically, it's ALWAYS been her WORST personality! But if the BEST side of her personality wins...that would mean we have ALL targeted the WRONG contestant for NOTHING! How did WE end up winding up in our OWN 'Morton's Fork' scenario? Honestly, I'm not sure WHICH one is worse! All I know is, NEITHER is ideal!" / Stimpy says: "I don't think Bulma IS faking it! And that means...if SHE can change, maybe REN can change to! I mean, I won't ever MARRY Ren again; but at least I WILL visit him at scheduled visiting hours at whatever prison he winds up in! It's the least I can do for him!" /

Taotie says: "As far as I'm concerned, ME becoming a good guy was PRETTY easy! But if Bulma can pull it off, I'll consider it a GENUINE miracle!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Okay! It's time for the Challenge Arena! As stated by Olmec; John Muir walked about 1,000 miles worth of trail between Kentucky and Florida in September 1867! While you won't have to walk anywhere NEAR that amount of distance, you WILL be doing a scaled down version of his feat for this challenge! We've got lots of binoculars! Your job is to take a pair of binoculars, from one end of the starting line of the Challenge Arena, to the other end of the Challenge Arena! Each trip to the other end is 760 feet, or 1/8 of a mile; which will represent one mile John Muir traveled! Whichever team can travel the MOST miles at the end of three minutes, will receive a Pendant of Life that they will need for the Temple Run! And if the Red Jaguars get it, they will win the opportunity to compete in the Temple Run, for a nice reward! And it even RELATES to John Muir! Johnny Krill, tell us what our lucky contestants will be competing for!" Johnny Krill says: "Our lucky contestants will get the chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to BEAUTIFUL Yosemite Valley, California! They will get to stay at a genuine cabin with all of the amenities, and receive an all expenses paid breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the cafeteria there! Yosemite Valley; nice in the summer time, but MAN!!!! Does it often get COLD in the winter time!" Dudley says: "Chameleon, we haven't gotten a chance to experience a reward yet! And I've always wanted to see what Yosemite Valley looks like!" Chameleon says: "Well, if you want to win it, than I want to win it to!" Bulma says: "Straining myself to win some NATURE themed reward of a place that I went to, IN the winter time, when I was TWELVE?! HARD PASS!!" Bubble Bass asks: "So you're NOT even going to PRETEND to put in any effort?!" Bulma asks: "Well, why should I BOTHER?!!! Most of you are already SO determined to vote me OFF regardless of what I do, despite the fact that ARGUABLY, the WORST thing I've EVER done this season, was simply goading Daggett into being ANGRY!"

Taotie says: "She DOES have a point; that IS a far cry from season three, where she led Zarbon on for the better PART of Total Cartoon Global Cruise, only to BREAK his heart!" Bulma ruefully says: "Don't REMIND me!" Po says: "Technically, he already DID!" Bulma sarcastically says: "THANK YOU! I feel SO much better!" Spongebob says: "Even I knew that was sarcasm!" Bulma groans, and she says: "It's official! I've hit ROCK bottom!" Yakkity says: "Well, if it's any consolation; when you've hit rock bottom, the only place left to go is UP; but you've got to put down the SHOVEL, first!" Bulma asks: "You...KNOW about that metaphor? Why didn't you EVER tell me?" Yakkity says: "Well, you NEVER asked!" Bulma gasps, and she says: "I'm...practically SPEECHLESS!!!!" (Confessional) Keswick gasps, and he says: "Did Bulma ACTUALLY say she was practically SPEECHLESS?! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!" And Handel's "Hallellulah Chorus" plays in the background! A choir sings: "Hallellulah! Hallellulah! Halle-halle-halle, halle-halle-halle, halleluh-lulah! Hallellulah! Hallellulah! Hallellulah..." / Dudley says: "Yosemite Valley; it's DEFINITELY a great place to LITERALLY see the forest, for the TREES!!!!" / Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! / Taotie says: "Even when she's LOSING, Bulma STILL has to make a point!" / Yakkity says: "As my grandma always likes to say to me; 'You never know for sure what anyone else is capable of, unless you ask them YOURSELVES about them'! It's a great way to learn about, what other people's tastes in comedy are like! It's the great secret to MY success!" / Bulma says: "If I were Angelica, I'd probably have to endure a song by the band Heart, right about now! But since I'm not, I should be SAFE; RIGHT?!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Now, we WERE going to play The Proclaimers '500 Miles', but since they're not ACTUALLY an American band, we decided to go with Heart, and their hit song, 'Alone'!" Larry asks: "Did you--?" Bulma finishes: "Tempt fate? Of COURSE I did! 'Can't Get Away With NOTHING'!" Sniz says: "And Green Monkeys, you WILL need to sit one contestant out!" Spongebob says: "Oh, I can't STAND being a party to Bulma's humiliation in this season! I need to sit this one out!" Taotie says: "A lot of good THAT will do you! Just makes it more fun, for US!" Sniz says: "Is everyone ready? Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

During the montage, Bulma is DISTRACTED by the song, and keeps DROPPING her binoculars, forcing her to constantly bend down and pick them up, while everyone else proceeds with relatively little problem! / Heart sings: "I hear the ticking of the clock. I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark. I wonder where you are tonight, no answer on the telephone. And the night goes by so very slow. Oh, I hope that it won't end though; alone. Till now, I always got by on my own! I never really cared until I met you! And now it chills me to the bone! How do I get you alone? How do I get you alone? You don't know how long I have wanted, to touch your lips and hold you tight, oh! You don't know how long I have waited, and I was going to tell you tonight. But the secret, is still my own; and my love for you is still unknown, alone! Oh, yeah! Till now, I always got by on my own! I never really cared until I met you! And now it chills me to the bone! How do I get you alone? How do I get you alone? (Instrumental Break) How do I get you alone? How do I get you alone? Alone! Alone!" (Piano solo, and the song ends as the challenge ends)! / Sniz says: "Okay! The challenge is over! It's time to see how many binoculars each team got to the end of the Challenge Arena! The Purple Parrots got 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 18 binoculars. The Green Monkeys got 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 18 binoculars. The Red Jaguars got 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 binoculars! The Red Jaguars get the Pendant of Life, and they're going to the Temple! Green Monkeys and Purple Parrots, your fates will be decided as soon as the Red Jaguars finish the Temple Run! Now, it's time to decide; who will compete in the Temple Run for the chance at the Reward!" Dudley says: "I'll go first!" Chameleon says: "And I'll go second!" Sniz says: "Okay! Oh, and DON'T even THINK about TRYING to turn into a key, or something SMALL to slip through the cracks of the door, Chameleon! You HAVE to complete the Temple Run the same way a NORMAL human would complete it!" Chameleon says: "Of COURSE I would! I'm NOT Tigress!" Sniz says: "Very well! Map; chart our contestants' course through the Temple, as Olmec explains how to get though it!"

Map says: "I'm on it!" / And Map's visual information fill in, as Olmec narrates! Olmec says: "First, make your way through the Roman Catacombs. Push on the right gargoyle statue, and head over the Rickety Bridge! Push on the right wooden board, and head up, onto the top of the Chilly Mountain! Raise the flag to the top of the pole, than head down, into the Room of Statues! Press down on the correct statue bust, than head into the Nature Room! Push in the correct bird display, than head into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the Monkey in the correct order, than head into the Dry Desert! Fill up the cactus with enough water, than slide on down, into the Abandoned Crevasse, where you can find the Lost Binoculars of John Muir! Smash through the Stone Wall, and you will find yourself in the Abandoned Saloon! Turn the right cup, and head into the Art Gallery! Hang the right art display, than head into the Spiritual Chamber! Press the right buttons, than head through the Pit! Than, climb through the lost Mine Cave, and back to the Temple Entrance! The Choices are yours, and yours alone! Good luck on getting the reward!" Sniz says: "All right! You two know what to do! Dudley get ready! Chameleon, stay alert! Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your mark, get set, GO!!!!" / And as Dudley makes his way through the Temple, Sniz narrates the action as he goes along! /

Sniz says: "Dudley is in the Roman Catacombs, and a Temple Guard right off the bat! He gives up his Pendant, and now he's got to push on the right Gargoyle Statue! He's done it! Across the Rickety Bridge! Got to push on the right wooden board! He's done it! Up onto the top of Chilly Mountain! He's raising the flag, and it's at the top! Down into the Room of Statues! He's got to find the right statue bust! Well, he found a short-cut to Rickety Bridge! He's found the right bust! Into the Nature Room! Another Temple Guard! Go, Chameleon, GO!!!! He's making excellent time through the Catacombs, and across the Bridge! Through the short-cut that Dudley found into the Room of Statues! Now Chameleon is in the Nature Room! He's found the right bird display! Into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! It's Johnny Krill as a Temple Guard! He gives up his pendant! He's got the base and the stomach, putting them together! Now he's got to get the head! It connects! Into the Dry Desert! He's got to fill up the cactus with enough water! The slide is open! Down he goes into the Abandoned Crevasse! He's got the Lost Binoculars! All the doors are open! He's smashing through the stone wall into the Abandoned Saloon, through the Art Gallery, through the Spiritual Chamber, and through the Pit! Now, he's got to climb through the Mine Caves! Chameleon has made it out, with 20 seconds to spare! Chameleon, you have won the reward to Yosemite Valley! Who are you going to take with you?!" Chameleon says: "It's got to be Dudley! I don't think that I could TAKE anyone else!" Sniz says: "Very well! You two enjoy yourselves, and the rest of the Red Jaguars can take the night off! As for the Green Monkeys and Purple Parrots, you will BOTH be going to the Elimination Ceremony tonight, and choose TWO more contestants, to be voted OFF, and ride the Mine Cart of Shame!"

(Confessional) Spongebob says: "Well, I'm STILL going to use the Immunity Pendant on myself, to nullify my OWN vote on myself! But; Bulma IS the one person, I don't have to think about twice! I HAVE to vote her off!" / Stimpy says: "Bulma did it! She actually PROVED she can change! It...makes me question MY whole reason for being here! Did I REALLY come here to TRY to prove something? Or have I been trying to distract myself, and forget Ren this WHOLE time?! It...hasn't been easy for me, to feel the conflicting feelings that I HAVE been feeling!" / Marlene says: "Let's just say the reason that I'm voting off Bulma, is PAYBACK for season three!" / Keswick says: "Honestly? I see NO scenario where I survive this vote-off! I'm the least athletic member on my team, and EVERYONE knows it! Where, at least I'm happy knowing that Bulma will be leaving WITH me!" / Taotie says: "Well, it's happening! STILL took far longer than it SHOULD'VE, but it IS happening! It will feel SO good, to finally get the chance to vote Bulma Briefs off!" / Po says: "All things considered, the only reason I'm voting Bulma Briefs off, is because she's the ONLY easy choice LEFT! That's basically what it boils down to for me!" / Wally says: "I always HATED having to have been put into the position that I was put in back in season three! When Bulma was safe, and Marlene wasn't; I felt like I HAD to vote off Marlene, because of a lie! If I had known at the time, Bulma had told at least a DOZENS of lies, I might have voted for Bulma REGARDLESS! At least now, I can FINALLY atone for my mistake!" / Bulma nervously gulps, and she says: "Yep! I've lost! Another season of hard work DOWN the drain! The only thing that gives me ANY consolation, is knowing that despite everyone else KNOWING what I have done in the past, they STILL had to eliminate a WHOLE 30 other contestants BEFORE they could FINALLY eliminate ME!" / Bubble Bass says: "Wow! I managed to beat the BRAINIAC herself! No EASY task, I might add! From now on, everything is a personal BEST for me!" / Yakkity says: "Well, the moment of truth is here! Time to see for myself, if Bulma IS a woman of her word!" / Future Rube says: "This elimination just MIGHT help determine, who gets to go to the Final Two!" (End Confessional)

The Green Monkeys and the Purple Parrots are at the Elimination Ceremony. Sniz says: "Green Monkeys, I haven't seen you since Treeflower got eliminated! Of course, it's a little sad to see the Purple Parrots back so soon! But I do believe, that tonight; we might see our MOST shocking elimination so far!" Wally says: "All things considered, a BETTER question to ask is; 'Who ISN'T getting eliminated'?!" Sniz says: "Well, we will find that out soon! You all know the drill! Pick two losers, and watch out for contestants on the Green Monkeys and the Purple Parrots, who can, and WILL use an Immunity Pendant! With that being said, VOTE!!!!" While everyone else makes their choices rather quickly; Yakkity takes ONE look at who he wants to vote for, and as if UNABLE to look at HIMSELF making that choice, he covers his eyes with his left arm, while he votes with his right hand! Sniz says: "Voting is over, SO...!" Spongebob says: "I'm once again going to play my Immunity Pendant on myself, to nullify my OWN vote on myself!" Marlene says: "THAT'S hardly surprising!" Sniz says: "The Immunity Pendant is REAL, that means ALL votes cast for Spongebob will NOT count! Now..." Yakkity says: "I...have...an Immunity Pendant...and...I have to play it on...MYSELF!!!!" He slams the Immunity Pendant down, and he says: "I'm SO sorry!" Sniz says: "Well, it IS real! So any votes cast for Yakkity will NOT count! And since SOME contestants are curious, we're going to READ the vote-off results!" Stimpy yells: "READ?!!!" Sniz says: "Spongebob voted for himself, and Bulma. Stimpy voted for Keswick, and Bulma. Marlene voted for Keswick, and Bulma. Keswick voted for Spongebob, and Bulma!" Keswick says: "Come on! I KNEW he was going to nullify that vote ANYWAYS!" Sniz says: "Taotie voted for Keswick, and Bulma. Po voted for Keswick, and Bulma. Wally voted for Keswick, and Bulma. Bubble Bass voted for Keswick, and Bulma. Future Rube voted for Keswick, and Bulma." Future Rube says: "And NOT easily for Keswick, I might add!"

Sniz says: "Yakkity voted for Keswick, AND Bulma!" Yakkity sadly says: "I...will NEVER be able to make a joke about that!" Sniz says: "And Bulma voted for Keswick and...am I READING this RIGHT?!!! BULMA?!!!" And everyone ELSE gasps in shock!!!! Sniz says: "It happened! I don't think there has EVER been a vote-off where EVERYONE was shocked, including ME! And I knew the ANSWER!" Spongebob hollowly says: "Oh NO!!!!" Stimpy says: "Bulma...WAS telling the truth!" Keswick says: "Even after ALL the visual evidence, we STILL didn't believe her!" Marlene says: "It...wasn't supposed to end like THIS!" Taotie sadly says: "This...is the WORST villainous thing I have EVER done, and I wasn't even TRYING be EVIL!" Po says: "How could WE have all gotten this...so WRONG?" Wally turns to Future Rube, and Wally asks: "Did...you KNOW this was going to happen?" Future Rube says: "My mom and dad NEVER let me watch this season before I came back here. How COULD I have known?" Bubble Bass says: "This is WORSE than my 'Pickles' stunt, my 'Moving' stunt, and my 'Wolf-Boy' stunt put together!" Yakkity says: "I...don't understand. Everyone else...said you WOULDN'T do it! Why did you do it?"

Bulma sadly says: "Well, I can't say I can blame anyone. It's the FINAL payment I have to pay for all the HORRIBLE things I did in season three! But, if there's one thing that I DID learn from all this, is that I was NOT going to let my 'Second Last Chance' to make things right, slip away from me! Yakkity, you believed in me, and let ME have a chance, even when no one else did! And...to be fair, in season three, they WOULD have been right! I...was SO stuck-up and self-centered about myself! I never CONSIDERED that anyone else HAD feelings that could be hurt; or that I could feel SO guilty when I REALIZED all the ramifications of everything I did! I...really thought that I had straightened myself up, and fixed myself of all my WORST short-comings! But...I guess I still fell short in the most important aspect of all; actually BEING the person that I wanted to be! And...if it wasn't for YOUR support, Yakkity; I'm not sure I would've been able to be as GOOD as I was this season! I...just wish I knew how to be nicer sooner! It's...still not an easy thing for me, to admit that I was wrong, or know HOW to be nice to others!" Yakkity sighs, and he says: "If it's any consolation; the whole being nice to others thing? It gets easier. You have to do it every day, THAT'S the one hard part; but it DOES get easier! And it's ALWAYS worth it! Game Shows and money, are LITERALLY a dime a dozen! But, you truly miss out on a lot, without the most important treasure of them all; FRIENDSHIP!!!!" Bulma says: "I...sure wish I had someone like YOU around growing me up to keep me grounded!" Yakkity says: "I'm...sorry I voted you off! But...I DO hope we can be friends after this!" Bulma says: "Well, if Vegeta is not around, maybe I can introduce you to my son, Trunks; once he's old enough to socialize!" Yakkity says: "Well, if I'm ever in your area; I'll let you know!" Keswick asks: "What about me?" Johnny Krill says: "Save it for the Performance Review! We are already running short on time!" Keswick says: "Oh, very well!" Bulma and Keswick put their helmets on, and strap themselves into the Mine Cart of Shame! Bulma says: "One last thing! I KNOW you all think that I WAS a very bad girl! But you've GOT to admit; I was very, VERY good at it!" General Barracuda says: "No arguments from me, there!"

Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?!" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" And the Mine Cart rockets down the Rails, and through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Sniz says: "UNBELIEVABLE! Bulma is ACTUALLY gone, and it STILL took everyone by surprise! That was probably the LAST easy elimination this season, so you can imagine how much tougher the REST of them are going to be! I didn't even PREPARE any questions for THESE circumstances THIS early, so you'll just have to find out what happens, on the next episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where the next legend, is ALWAYS just around the bend!" / Stinger: Dudley and Chameleon are walking through the Yosemite Valley, taking time to look at all the scenery, and smelling the clean, fresh air! Dudley says: "It's places like this, that really take a guy like ME back to his nature roots!" Chameleon says: "Well, I suppose I'll have to take your WORD for it! I was LITERALLY raised in an Animal Rescue clinic, in a DOLLAR to adopt Pen; watching every OTHER animal find a home!" Dudley says: "I'm SO sorry! I didn't know! I would've come to rescue you if I only knew!" Chameleon says: "Well, I guess it doesn't matter much, now. At least, we're together now; and that's all that matters!" Dudley says: "You know the BEST part about being in the wilderness? We have a river of CLEAN, flowing water; and there's no one else around! It's a perfect opportunity for a guy like ME, to enjoy a good, old-fashioned, FURRY dipping!" Dudley removes his shirt, hands it to Chameleon, and is ABOUT to jump in, until a PORTAL opens up over the river, and Bulma and Keswick land into it in their Mine-Cart, with a SPLASH!!!! Dudley screams: "AHHH!!!!" And he RUNS behind Chameleon! Keswick sighs, and he says: "I'll...NEVER understand Dudley's train of thought, on why HE thinks that when he's NOT wearing a shirt, is somehow HUMILIATING to him, despite the fact that he USUALLY doesn't wear any pants!" Bulma says: "Well, I do have SOME stories about Goku; but I don't think that MOST of them would be appropriate for you to HEAR!!!!" Chameleon says: "It truly is WEIRD that Bulma and Keswick wound up HERE after getting eliminated! I guess it IS a small world after all!" /

Personal Notes: Much like "Total Drama All-Stars", the goal of this half-season was to systematically go through the sorting algorithm of evil and/or perceived evil. Because of all the actions Bulma pulled off in season three, she was ALWAYS going to save herself for LAST! And the biggest irony is, she ended up working a LOT harder this season by actually STICKING to the rules, and only bending them a COUPLE of times, when there was a BIGGER threat than she was! While she was a LOT more pragmatic this season compared to her last appearance, her BIGGEST difference, was trying to make sure she DIDN'T repeat the SAME, senseless mistake in season three that LED to her elimination; eliminating her most VALUABLE ally in that season! However, Bulma found out the HARD way, the REAL price of the HORRIBLE actions that she did! Since everyone else was 'Taught By Experience', they simply couldn't TAKE Bulma for her word, because they KNEW she had LIED in the past! And that was a stain, that Bulma was NEVER going to remove, unless she PROVED that she was ABLE to do the one thing she NEVER would've done in season three; be WILLING to make a fool of herself, let OTHERS have a chance to be smart, and be willing to SACRIFICE their ambitions, in order to have a TRUE friendship! And because she did what NO ONE else thought she would do, they REALIZED that they ALL unintentionally made the SAME, HORRIBLE mistake Bulma made in season three; SENSELESSLY voting off a contestant, who didn't ACTUALLY deserve it; proving that even WHEN she played fair, she could STILL make for a SHOCKING elimination! As for Keswick? He was the ONLY contestant it made sense to be eliminated with Bulma! Keswick will be able to talk more about it, at the next "Performance Review". I hope that you enjoyed reading this episode, as much as I did writing it! Enough said, true believers!

I'm gonna play it on the safe side, and just break the re-run of my most recent episode of "Total Cartoon Legends", into two parts, the same way as my episode is. Enjoy! / Sniz is in the camera monitor room, and he's looking at a LOT of previously filmed footage of Bulma Briefs. Sniz says: "Last time on Total Cartoon Legends, we were down to 16 contestants! With no more easy eliminations to find, save for one; EVERYONE decided to target the one they deemed the EASIEST to eliminate, Bulma Briefs! When Taotie REFUSED to go along with Bulma's request to sabotage Wally; not only did she NOT take it well, she found out every OTHER member of her team didn't believe her claims of having changed for the better. And that INCLUDED her friend, Yakkity Yak. OUCH!!!! Determined to prove that her friendship with Yakkity was GENUINE, Bulma first PURPOSEFULLY failed in crossing the Moat; let Yakkity answer ALL the questions on the Steps of Knowledge, AND let him keep the Immunity Pendant; kept fumbling around during the Challenge Arena; and when the Green Monkeys and the Purple Parrots had to go to the Elimination Ceremony, Bulma performed perhaps her GREATEST trick of all, and VOTED herself OFF! I'm NOT making this UP!!!! Bulma Briefs ACTUALLY voted herself off, a fact that took EVERYONE else by surprise, as everyone ELSE voted her off, NEVER believing that she would KEEP her word! Talk about irony! Keswick, due to his lack of athleticism during the challenge, ended up having to go with Bulma! Now, thanks to the unexpected departure of Bulma Briefs, everyone who had a hand in voting her off, is now feeling pangs of guilt and remorse. Is karma coming THEIR way next? Will we soon only have TWO teams instead of three? And has one former champ played his last game in this half-season? Find out the answers to these questions on today's episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" The "La Marseillie" plays in the background, and Olmec says: "Viva La Revolution!" / Instead of the normal show open, it shows all the remaining contestants, and a montage of some of their WORST mistakes from their OWN shows, as well as the "Total Cartoon" seasons; all to the tune of Annie Lennox's hit song, "Why". /

Annie Lennox sings: "Why? Why? How many times do I have to try to tell you, that I'm sorry for the things I've done? Ooh. But when I start to try to tell you, that's when you have to tell me; 'Hey…this kind of trouble's only just begun'. Yeah. I tell myself too many times; 'Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut'? That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words, that keep on falling from your mouth. Falling from your mouth. Falling from your mouth. Tell me…Why? Why? I may be mad, I may be blind, I may be viciously unkind; but I can still read what you're thinking! And I've heard it said too many times that you'd be better off. Besides…Why can't you see this boat is sinking? (This boat is sinking, this boat is sinking). Let's go down to the water's edge, and we can cast away those doubts. Some things are better left unsaid, but they still turn me inside out! Turning inside out, turning inside out. Tell me why? Tell me why? This is the book I never read. These are the words I never said. This is the path I'll never tread. These are the dreams I'll dream instead! This is the joy that's seldom spread. These are the tears…the tears we shed. This is the fear, this is the dread, these are the contents of my head! And these are the years that we have spent, and this is what they represent! And this is how I feel! Do you know how I feel? 'Cause I don't think you know how I feel! (You don't know!) I don't think you know what I feel! Why? I don't think you know what I feel! You don't know what I feel!" / And the song and montage ends! /

"The Legend Of The Lost Hat of Napoleon Bonaparte!" / The Green Monkeys and Purple Parrots are still at the Elimination Ceremony arena, despite Sniz already being gone, and them having no real reason to be there; apparently STILL trying to process the fact that Bulma actually WAS eliminated! Spongebob looks awkwardly at everyone else, and he says: "Well, is anyone ELSE going to address the elephant in the room, or do I have to do it?" Taotie asks: "What elephant?" Po says: "It's a figure of SPEECH, Taotie!" Taotie says: "Sorry! I must have been home with the SWINE Flu when they taught THAT one in class!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Fine. I guess I'LL start. Somehow, we ALL missed seeing the truth that Bulma had ACTUALLY changed! I want to know how THAT'S possible! I mean, just between OUR two teams, we're NINE very competent individuals! So, missing something as OBVIOUS as Bulma's change, seems completely IMPROBABLE to me!" Stimpy says: "The key word THERE is; 'Improbable', not IMPOSSIBLE! For instance, I once told Nickelodeon that under no circumstances would I EVER work with the FAKE Ren Hoek from seasons 3-5 of my show AGAIN; but I DID it when they wanted to film some action of me for the video game, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl! Oddly enough, Oblina, Nigel Thornberry, AND Powdered Toast Man all sound rather DIFFERENT than I remember them!" Marlene says: "Regardless of THAT interesting factoid, I think the BIGGEST reason we DIDN'T see it, is because we didn't WANT to see it! We EXPECTED Bulma to act the way she ALWAYS acted before, and we PLAYED accordingly! I mean...it just seems SO weird that during HER first season, she always made HER decisions, by believing everyone else would act in a certain way that she EXPECTED them to act! And most of the time, she was pretty spot on! And; when WE decided to act based on what we experienced from Bulma in the past, she DIDN'T act the way we thought she would! Am I more or less right with my assessment?"

Taotie says: "Well, from what you said, I'd say you were pretty much RIGHT on the money! Because most of us experienced what Bulma did first hand, we were ALL so sure Bulma was going to ACT that way again, I'm not sure if ANY amount of evidence SAVE for her voting herself off, could've convinced us otherwise! We SO wanted to pay Bulma back for what she did to us in season three, that we ALL succumbed to the trap of hatred and revenge! Without meaning to, we ALL did something bad, and something that could've been avoided, if we had JUST listened to Bulma in the first place!" Po says: "That's just the PROBLEM! We didn't listen to Bulma, because we were all SURE she was just LYING again for her OWN self-gain! Never mind the fact, that without HER help, I'm not sure if we could've EVER gotten rid of Aang, Snaptrap, and Dora the Explorer!" Wally says: "Not only that, but most of us already HAD reasons for wanting to get back at Bulma besides! Spongebob because Bulma LET Blonda GOAD Skipper into setting up HIS elimination; Taotie because he never got over the fact that Bulma considered HIM nothing more than a pawn; Po, because he wasted his anger on ZARBON, when he should've saved it for Bulma; Stimpy because Bulma ordered Zarbon to dump black paint on him; Marlene because Bulma THREATENED Skipper's immunity safety otherwise; and myself, because I felt guilty about voting off Marlene when I DIDN'T have all the facts about Bulma!" Bubble Bass says: "Well, the sad fact is; Yakkity, Rube, and I, we don't even HAVE the excuses YOU did to vote off Bulma, and we STILL did anyways; just because we KNEW about her reputation!" Yakkity sadly says: "Well, YOU knew! I didn't! Before I heard everyone else's stories about her, all I knew was that Bulma was kind, nice, thoughtful, and respectful of my needs; even if she DID accidentally spell my name WRONG initially! And despite having no PERSONAL reason to believe that she would betray me, I STILL betrayed her; ALL because I believed it was the LESSER of two evils!" Future Rube says: "All I know about Bulma, is what the FUTURE version of my dad told me from his first-hand experience! I think I now know WHY he never talked about what happened during this season! I think even in the future, he's STILL feeling a little ashamed about the way he helped shoot Bulma down like that!"

Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "You're right, son. I'm...really sorry you saw me act vindictive like that! I promised that when you were born, I would ALWAYS try to act in your best interests! I...never considered the fact that by trying to do something I was SO sure that I was right about, would turn out so WRONG! I...would NEVER want to let you DOWN like that!" Future Rube gives his father a hug, and he says: "Dad...a wise man once told me; 'You can never know for SURE which decisions you make, will end up being the right ones. But, you will ALWAYS miss 100% of the time on the chances you DON'T take in life'!" Bubble Bass's eyes widen up, and he says: "Me! I'm...going to say that someday, aren't I?" Future Rube says: "I think I now know the REAL reason why I came here! Not just to spend more time with you, but to help YOU become the best version of YOURSELF!" Bubble Bass says: "I'm...really thankful that you have done this for me, Rube. I...hope I'll be able to repay this favor to you someday." Future Rube says: "You already have, dad. You already have." Spongebob says: "Well, reflections aside; all this introspection does us no good. Bulma is gone, there's nothing we can do to change it; and I fear that karma's BOUND to get us back for ALL of us being vindictive to Bulma in not too long!" Marlene gasps, and she says: "Oh, dear! You're probably RIGHT! I mean, you've been right before; but right now, it's REALLY scary!" Taotie says: "Especially for a guy like me! I've only STARTED cleaning up my debt from when I was evil! I didn't need to add another item to the list of things that I need to atone for!" Po says: "Well, bad karma strikes, because you haven't done something GOOD as atonement for it! Didn't Bulma prove THAT herself?! She atoned, by keeping her word, and voting herself off! Maybe we don't necessarily need to do that; but there's got to be SOMETHING we can do to minimize the damage we're bound to receive!" Wally says: "Well, I already know how I plan to atone for tonight! I've got Future Rube to take care of! And with the exception of Bubble Bass and Yakkity in the immediate future; I'm not sure if taking care of Infant Rube will work as a solution for the rest of you." Future Rube says: "Maybe subconsciously, this is one of the reasons I came back. Not just to help my father and find Wally, but to atone for the very mistake I made!"

Spongebob sighs, and he says: "It's strange. All this season, I never wanted to make a hard call! I hoped I would get through the whole season without MAKING one! And...the one time I thought I was making the EASIEST call in the world, I made a wrong call. I haven't felt SO horrible since the time Squidward's house got wrecked indirectly because of me, the time I ruined Squidward's membership in his Cephalopod Lodge, the time I was FORCED to act all creepy towards him when HE went to Boating School, or the WORST time; when I simply stood by and let Patrick make Squidward's life a living nightmare in 'Ink Lemonade'!...I have NEVER felt SO horrible about anything in MY whole life!" Stimpy sighs, and he says: "Well, if it's any consolation; you're not the only one who has stuff that they feel guilty about. I've always felt guilty about saying lines during seasons three to five of MY show that I didn't want to say, but I feared that my show would get even WORSE, if I didn't help! And...I did send a letter petitioning Ren to be moved to a nicer prison. I'm expecting a response pretty soon, now." Marlene sighs, and she says: "I DO still listen to Captain Retro's Radio Show on Friday's from 12-2 P.M." Bubble Bass asks: "Why do you need to feel guilty about that?" Marlene says: "BECAUSE, Skipper is still SENSITIVE about that whole thing! Season three of this show is a time of my life that I'm NOT very proud of, to make a long story short!" Taotie says: "Well, that still leaves both Po, and myself! What are WE going to do about this Karma?" Po says: "Well, I think the best thing YOU can do, is to selflessly help our team win this challenge for the BOTH of us! We both owe it to Bulma, to show that her lesson about being selfless, was NOT in vain!" Yakkity says: "That's actually a pretty good idea! We should ALL play the next challenge selflessly! And win or lose, we'll face the results gracefully!" Spongebob says: "I can't argue with THAT! I wouldn't know HOW to!" Wally says: "Than it's settled! Admiral Wally, his Smartness; proposes that we all play the next challenge fair and square, and may the best team win!" Future Rube says: "That sounds like a plan to me! Let's all put our arms, fins, or whatever, and agree!" They all do, and they simultaneously say: "Agreed!"

(Confessional) Spongebob says: "Well, now I have some idea on how Sandy must have felt when she eliminated Johnny Krill and Pearl! And the worst part is, I have a feeling that ANOTHER team merge of some kind isn't too far away! I'd say something about Sandy AND Karma; but the tendency is that when you do, you ALWAYS tempt fate! I guess I'll just have to leave it up to chance! It's certainly better than jinxing the whole thing!" / Johnny Krill hands Stimpy a letter, and Johnny says: "Here, Stimpy! This just came for you!" Johnny leaves, and Stimpy says: "This must be what I've been expecting!" Stimpy opens the letter, and he reads: "To Whom It May Concern, we have reviewed your petition, and we have made our decision regarding Ren Hoek's progress. Ren Hoek's sanity and behavior, is among the most POSITIVE we have ever seen in years! Therefore, your petition has been accepted, and Ren Hoek and his belongings are being transferred now, to the California Men's Colony, outside of San Luis Obispo, California. He looks forward to you being able to visit him during visiting hours. Respectfully; Warden, Gordon Quid!" Stimpy puts aside the letter, and he says: "Ren's condition, has improved. And, he still WANTS to see me! Even when I didn't believe him! I...wouldn't visit him in San Quintin, mainly because it was so far away from Los Angeles! But now that he's moving considerably closer, I don't HAVE as much of a reason to not visit him! I...think it's best if I visit him alone, first! I don't want Lil and the kids to get involved with him if they don't have to be! I...just want to see if he forgives me for MY mistakes! And...I guess I'll have to admit, it IS possible for me to be mad at somebody. Maybe it's nowhere NEAR as often as Ren does it, but I have that flaw, the same way he does. The main thing is, you DON'T have to let anger define you, or let one mistake guide the rest of your life! You can, and SHOULD always learn from your mistakes; even if it's sometimes hard to admit your mistakes!" /

Marlene sighs, and she says: "I REALLY should've known BETTER than to tempt fate! Beauty is NO form of protection, against an invisible force that ALWAYS wins, no matter WHO you think you are!" / Taotie says: "I don't think we've EVER been in a scenario, where NINE contestants were tied in the karma department. There's no telling WHO Karma might decide to strike first! And since I don't want to tempt fate, I can only safely say; it COULD be ANY of us!" / Po says: "I can see now why Tigress HAS had a hard time controlling her anger impulses! I just never thought I would be susceptible to such a thing! But I guess what Master Shifu said IS true; 'Anger DOES exist inside of everyone, but it doesn't need to CONSUME you'! So, I need to learn from this mistake, and atone for it the best I can! After all, Tigress is counting on me to persevere! And...if at all possible, I hope to introduce her to Taotie, AS my friend!" / Wally sighs, and he says: "Now I KNOW why I'll have to wait 20 years before I can see Future Rube again! It must be MY way of having to pay for my mistake! If I had known THAT was the reason why; I never would've done it! But I guess that's what Yay-Ok meant, when he said that 'Hindsight is always 20-20'! I just wish I knew what that meant BEFORE I came here this season; but that's HINDSIGHT in itself!" / Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "Well, now I know just WHY Anti-Cosmo was targeting me during Total Cartoon Island Strikes Back! Only, unlike most of the other contestants, it's like I was PAYING for this act of karmic transgression before I even did it! And...now I KNOW why I'm more comfortable in bubbles! It's the NAKED truth, of what I truly am! And now that I KNOW what I truly am, it's my duty to BE as honest as I look! I'm already pretty good in not hiding anything! From now on, unless any potential future episodes say otherwise, I'll always try to be as HONEST as I possibly can! It's just what a good father should do!" / Yakkity says: "The NAKED truth? That has potential! Maybe there's a comedy bit in there somewhere! I'll have to develop it some more!" /

Future Rube says: "Look, I obviously can't say what I've experienced in my life BEFORE I came here; because my Infant self HASN'T lived it yet! All I can say is; I'm inspired by my dad, because he always tries to lead by example! And...if I didn't know it before, I do now. Parents are people, to! But even so, a GOOD parent is ALWAYS willing to learn from their mistakes, so they can help their children learn from mistakes as well! And by working together, we can ALL help make the world a better place!" (End Confessional) It is morning, and everyone is in the cafeteria! Sandy visibly NOTICES that Spongebob isn't NOTICING her, and she's concerned! Sandy asks: "Larry, does something about Spongebob seem OFF?!" Larry says: "Come to think of it, something seems OFF about ALL the Green Monkeys and Purple Parrots, but I can't quite put my CLAW on it!" Buhdeuce says: "Something's MISSING! And it's NOT just Keswick!" At that moment, Dudley and Chameleon walk through the door! Buhdeuce says: "Well, at least something ISN'T missing anymore! Welcome back, Dudley and Chameleon!" Dudley says: "You'll never BELIEVE who we saw while we were visiting Yosemite National Park!" Sandy asks: "Keswick?" Chameleon asks: "How did you guess?" Sandy says: "Lucky guess!" Chameleon says: "That's not ALL we saw!" Before anyone can ask them anything else, Sniz rings a gong, and his voice comes over the loud-speakers. Sniz says: "Attention Red Jaguars! At the last Elimination Ceremony, Keswick AND Bulma was eliminated! I repeat; Bulma WAS eliminated! Not only that, but I have news regarding the structure of the teams! Please proceed to the Moat to find out more information! That is all!" Sandy asks: "Spongebob, is BULMA the reason why you HAVEN'T been talking to me? That seems rather WEIRD!!!!" Spongebob winces, and he says: "You weren't THERE, Sandy! We...all made a HORRIBLE mistake! And I think the team structure might be a bit of payment for what we DID!" Larry asks: "How was voting off Bulma Briefs a mistake?!" Spongebob says: "I'll explain it to you later...IF you survive today's challenge!" Dudley sadly says: "Just like Keswick! I can't believe he's out of the game!" Chameleon says: "At least we got to say good-bye to him BEFORE we left Yosemite! Come on! Let's try to win this challenge, so Keswick's elimination ISN'T in vain!"

(Confessional) Sandy's eyes widen in shock, and she says: "Spongebob, told me that eliminating Bulma Briefs was the WRONG call! She TOLD the truth! And if SHE told the truth...I might be in trouble! The way Karma will probably work, is that I'll probably have to pay the PRICE for Spongebob's mistake! No WONDER Spongebob never wanted to make a hard call! I think he might have sub-consciously KNOWN this was going to happen!" / Larry says: "I'm probably one of the FEW contestants Bulma didn't target during her FIRST season as a contestant; mostly because I wasn't IN that season as a contestant for long! All I know is, if Spongebob's worried about eliminating Bulma Briefs; than he probably has good REASON to be! After all, he has Sandy to think about! And to a lesser extent, me, Bubble Bass, and Future Rube! Either way, the metaphorical rent is probably due soon, and SOMEONE'S going to have to pay for it! The question is, WHO?!" / Buhdeuce says: "Even I'm not sure if I should be happy that Bulma is gone! Everyone else isn't! It's so WEIRD, when you end up getting EXACTLY what you want; only to discover that getting it doesn't make you feel the way you THOUGHT it would make you feel! Now I know how Tigress felt when she won that award! I guess sometimes; there is truth in the expression, 'Wanting is better than having'." / Dudley says: "I have a feeling that the teams may be whittled down, from three; to two! And if that's the case, Chameleon and I need to make sure that we do our best to make sure that the Red Jaguars stay standing!" / Chameleon says: "Even though Keswick and I never got a chance to really hang out this season; I'm still going to miss him! Avenging him, will be the best way to PROVE that he will help us provide us incentive, to potentially help us win this challenge!" (End Confessional) Everyone suits up into their team colors, and heads for the moat!

Sniz says: "Welcome to the Moat, contestants. It seems like it was only THREE challenges ago we were talking about the teams needing to be whittled down!" Taotie says: "Uh, it WAS only three challenges ago!" Sniz says: "Regardless, the time is upon us, to condense the teams again. Regardless of who wins or loses this challenge; when everything is said and done, the teams will be whittled down from three to two! I'm not sure which team is playing their last; but either way, I'm excited! Just like YOU should be excited for this upcoming challenge!" Spongebob says: "And by 'Excited', he means we should be 'Horrified' and 'Terrified'!" Sniz says: "Your words, not mine! Olmec, tell us what today's legend is!" Olmec says: "Today's legend, is The Legend Of the Lost Hat of Napoleon Bonaparte!" Stimpy says: "Oh, GREAT! A challenge about that CRAZY French guy! I'm in trouble!" Marlene asks: "Why is that? I don't think this challenge is necessarily harder than any other we've had this season!" Stimpy says: "You don't understand! Ren's biggest BIT from season's one to two on my show, was acting like the CRAZY guy! Compared with him, I was practically SANE! But because I perpetuated that bit WITHOUT him from seasons three to five on my show; I fear Karma is going to strike ME first!" Po says: "But you're a NICE guy!" Stimpy says: "So? If I make a mistake against somebody else, don't I have to pay for it the same as anyone else?" Bubble Bass says: "OOH, he's got you THERE, Po!" Yakkity says: "Well, I don't think ANYONE has plans to eliminate YOU, Stimpy!" Sniz says: "And here's the really FUN part of the challenge! Unless you're a member of the Red Jaguars and CAN win an Immunity Pendant today; today's challenge for a change, will be based on point accumulation! At the end of today's challenge, the two contestants with the lowest point accumulations, will be automatically ELIMINATED! That means, no Elimination Ceremony! Do not pass Go, do not get the chance to win up to $44.44 Million!" Future Rube gulps nervously, and he says: "Well, that's ONE way Stimpy very WELL could be eliminated, through no real fault of his own skills, or lack thereof!"

Sniz says: "Therefore, for this Moat Challenge, it's going to work a little differently! We're going to recreate a mock version, of the battle of Trafalgar! Since it was a naval battle, you will be riding boats equipped with meatball cannons! Each team will be equipped with 32 cannonballs, one for EVERY contestant eliminated so far! Whichever team makes the most confirmed hits against the other teams, will receive a Pendant of Life that they will need for the Temple Run! And since this IS a challenge revolving around Napoleon Bonaparte, what better way to celebrate it, than by playing Abba's 'Waterloo'?!" Buhdeuce asks: "Does THAT song REALLY revolve around Napoleon THAT much!" Sniz says: "It was either that, or Weird Al's 'Genius In France'! And Abba hasn't received as much play on this show as HE has!" Sandy says: "Lucky us!" Sniz says: "And unlike other challenges, no one is sitting this one out, since EVERYONE needs to work on scoring points! Is everyone ready?!" Larry says: "I only know that I'M ready! I can't speak for anyone else!" Sniz says: "Regardless of that fact; on your marks, get set, GO!!!!" / During the challenge, Stimpy is LESS concerned with actually scoring points, than he is about keeping the REST of the team safe, and he KEEPS eating all of the meat cannonballs that come his way, while Taotie keeps getting HIT by every stray meat cannonball that comes his way!

/ Abba sings: "My, my, at Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender! Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way! The history book on the shelf, is always repeating itself! Waterloo; I was defeated, you won the war! Waterloo; promise to love you forever more! Waterloo, Waterloo! Couldn't escape if I wanted to! Waterloo; knowing my fate is to be with you! Waterloo; finally facing my Waterloo! My, my, I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger! Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight! And how could I ever refuse? I feel like I win when I lose! Waterloo; I was defeated, you won the war! Waterloo; promise to love you forever more! Waterloo, Waterloo! Couldn't escape if I wanted to! Waterloo; knowing my fate is to be with you! Waterloo; finally facing my Waterloo! So how could I ever refuse? I feel like I win when I lose! Waterloo, Waterloo! Couldn't escape if I wanted to! Waterloo; knowing my fate is to be with you! Waterloo; finally facing my Waterloo! Waterloo; knowing my fate is to be with you! Waterloo; finally facing my Waterloo! Waterloo; knowing my fate is to be with you!" / After the challenge is over, Sniz says: "Okay! All the meat cannonballs have been fired! It's time to determine who gets the Pendant of Life! The Green Monkeys each scored seven hits, all against the Purple Parrots, except for Stimpy who only scored two. The Red Jaguars each scored six hits, all against the Purple Parrots! And despite the Purple Parrots firing ALL of their meat cannonballs; Stimpy ATE them all, which means NONE of them scored any points! In fact, Taotie is at NEGATIVE 60, because every other meat cannonball seemed to HIT him!" Taotie sighs, and he says: "Well, at least now I know how I'M paying for my role in eliminating Bulma!" Sniz says: "Even though the Green Monkeys and the Red Jaguars scored the same number of hits; because Stimpy didn't fire HIS fair share of meat cannonballs, I'm giving the Pendant of Life to the Red Jaguars!" Stimpy says: "Sorry guys, I just didn't want any of you to get hurt!" Marlene says: "On the bright side, at least you ACTUALLY scored SOMETHING! Compared to Taotie and the rest of the Purple Parrots, you're in pretty good shape!" Sniz says: "We've got to get Taotie cleaned off! But don't go away! Because we'll be right back with MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / I'll break here and stop for now. Enough said, for now!

[4EverGreen]

It's time for the re-run of the second and final part of "The Legend Of The Lost Hat of Napoleon Bonaparte!" / After the commercials end, the contestants begin to gather at the Steps of Knowledge! Taotie says: "Okay! I don't want ANYONE to argue with me! I HAVE to be one of the two contestants to answer these questions!" Bubble Bass asks: "Are you SERIOUS?! In the first place, the rest of us don't HAVE a positive score EITHER; and second of all, you're at NEGATIVE 60! There's no WAY you can catch up!" Yakkity asks: "Why not? I've seen contestants on Celebrity Jeopardy bounce back from WORSE!" Po says: "And besides! Taotie has been VERY loyal to this team! There's no WAY I'm going to deny a request from HIM!" Bubble Bass says: "Don't confuse 'Demand' with 'Request'! But I'm willing to go along with it, as long as I get to be the OTHER contestant on the Steps of Knowledge!" Yakkity asks: "Why do you need to do that?" Bubble Bass says: "Let's just say I have a hunch!" Taotie chuckles, and he says: "Hunch is actually a pretty funny word! I wonder who thought of that?" Bubble Bass snarks back and says: "Your MOM!!!!" Yakkity says: "BURN!!!!" (Confessional) Taotie says: "I've heard it said, that into every life, a little rain must fall. But I've been hit by a TOTAL typhoon...of meatball cannon fire! I need to dry myself off! And the best way to do that, is to tackle this challenge, much like a person would take the bull by the horns; even if that DOES seem a little risky to do in REAL life!" / Yakkity says: "I'm guessing Bubble Bass wants to volunteer, because he DOESN'T trust Taotie to NOT get the answers wrong! And besides, at least Bubble Bass HAS a proven track record of getting answers right! We've got to make a come-back SOMEHOW!" / Po says: "Trust me! If Taotie made a 'Demand', I would KNOW about it! I mean, I AM the Dragon Warrior, after all!" / Bubble Bass says: "IF our team is to be dissolved, I do not plan on making it an easy fight for everyone else! If we go out, we go out swinging for the FENCES, and we might even hit a home run while we're at it!" (End Confessional)

Wally goes to Spongebob, and Wally asks: "Spongebob, who do you think should volunteer for the Steps of Knowledge?" Spongebob says: "Well, it's not an easy choice to make, you know. After all, since this entire challenge will be won based on total point accumulation; the two contestants who DO get to go, will have a pretty big ADVANTAGE over the contestants who DON'T!" Stimpy says: "Well, I think it's only fair that I get to go! I mean, I am at a disadvantage; and I don't just want to quit like I did in season two!" Marlene says: "That seems fair to me! But who will be his partner?" Spongebob says: "Well, I feel like I need to go. After all, if I don't try to atone for my mistake with Bulma Briefs now; Karma will SURELY force me to pay for it, and NOT at a time when I would find it convenient!" Future Rube says: "That does make a lot of sense to me! Our Karma is only as strong as the weakest link; and it's better for us that we are all as strong as we can be!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "Seeing as how I can't hide behind the excuse of NOT making a tough call anymore, I need to step up to the plate, the same way as Sandy has! I mean, I have to prove that I'm as good of a player as anybody else! Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to turn nasty and mean about the whole thing; I'm just trying to be practical about my approach to this game!" / Stimpy says: "The reason I'm volunteering, is because I feel that it's what Ren would do if our positions were reversed. For better or for worse, I have to admit that Ren Hoek, at least WAS an important part of my life! And even if I can't comfortably be together WITH him anymore, I want him to know that I hold no personal animosity towards him! At least, I feel that it's the best way to heal MY personal Karma, and make me a better cat in return for dealing with it the best way that I can." / Future Rube says: "It's tricky for me, to know if any potential misfortunes that have fallen MY way in the past, are the result of voting off Bulma Briefs, or if I personally still have to PAY for it! Either way, I think it's good for me to help Stimpy up to my level! After all, helping others is the best way to HEAL your own personal Karma!" / Marlene says: "If there's one thing I've learned; you've got to face any problems in life as calmly as you can. If you ever show that you're nervous; Karma will often have the LAST word over you! But if you're willing to take the bad, with the good; you're bound to come through it all the better for it!" (End Confessional)

Dudley looks over to Spongebob, and Dudley says: "Sandy, I think Spongebob is going to volunteer for the Steps of Knowledge!" Sandy's mood sours, and she says: "Oh, man! If I volunteer, Karma is BOUND to make him miss, and he'll be humiliated for sure! I can't go! Larry, YOU volunteer again!" Larry groans, and he says: "FINE; I'll do it! But you can't KEEP pushing me to the fore-front just because YOU can't stand humiliating Spongebob, and you want ME to do it instead!" Sandy winces at the revelation, and she says: "Yeah; it's not ideal for me, to have to be FORCED to play the cards that I have been dealt with!" Chameleon says: "Well, I don't feel right answering unless Dudley is by my side!" Buhdeuce says: "Than I suppose by default, I will be Larry's partner!" Larry says: "It sure seems that way, Buhdeuce!" (Confessional) Sandy says: "I honestly don't know what else I could've DONE! One scenario involves ME humiliating Spongebob, and demeaning his OWN worth to his life WITH me; the other scenario involves LARRY humiliating Spongebob, which only demeans his own worth to Larry! I mean, either way, Spongebob IS demeaned; but at least I'm not the one doing the demeaning in the second scenario!" / Larry says: "It's getting to the point, where BUHDEUCE is honestly looking like a BETTER partner to take to the Final Three than SANDY is!" / Buhdeuce air fist-pumps and he says: "YES!!!! I'm FINALLY getting some respect from Larry! A former CHAMP! And he says I'm a better final three pick than SANDY! I don't know what else I can do to impress my team, except to go as far as I can, and prove that their respect for me won't be wasted!" (End Confessional) Sniz finally arrives, and he says: "Okay, I'm here!" Taotie asks: "Well, where else WOULD you be? You're the one supposed to be HOSTING this whole show!" Marlene asks: "Are you sure it's SMART to be sarcastic right now? It seems a little dicey, when there's uncollected Karma about!" Taotie says: "It's a coping mechanism! I tend to snark when I'm nervous, so SUE me!" Po says: "Marlene DOES have a point; don't tempt fate! She found THAT out the hard way!"

Marlene says: "TWICE, if you want to get technical!" General Barracuda says: "Speaking of 'Technical', it IS technically time for volunteers for the Steps of Knowledge to be chosen! And the point values are vastly more significant in THIS round! Every correct answer will net the contestant who answered it, a WHOLE ten points! Of course, a wrong response will set you back ten points; so choose your volunteers wisely!" Spongebob says: "I'm not changing my mind! Stimpy and I will volunteer for the Green Monkeys!" Larry sighs, and he says: "Buhdeuce and I will volunteer for the Red Jaguars!" Bubble Bass says: "And Taotie and I will volunteer for the Purple Parrots!" Sniz says: "Very well! If the Red Jaguars win the Steps of Knowledge, one of them will receive an Immunity Pendant that will keep one of them safe from elimination! Everyone else will be competing for a Pendant of Life that they will need for the Temple Run! It's time to listen to Olmec, and see what there is to know about the Lost Hat of Napoleon Bonaparte!"

Olmec says: "Napoleon Bonaparte was born on August 15, 1769 on Ajaccio on the island of Corsica, in the Kingdom of France! Contrary to popular belief; Napoleon actually grew to be 5 feet, 2 inches; the average height of a French Man in his life. Oddly enough, he started out as gentle; but being bullied during his school years, and frequently needing approval over his older brother Joseph, eventually led Napoleon to adopt the assertive, domineering personality he would become known for! Despite the bullying, Napoleon completed his studies at Brienne in 1784, and was admitted to the Ecole Militaire in Paris, where he trained to become an artillery officer. Upon graduating in September 1785, Napoleon became a commissioned Second Lieutenant in the La Fere artillery regiment; a position he held until the French Revolution broke out in 1789! It was while fighting in the Revolution, that Napoleon began embracing the ideals of the Revolution! After being promoted to Captain in the regular army in July of 1792, he gained command over his own battalion of volunteers. Napoleon's first successful conquest was the Siege of Toulon starting on September 8, 1793. It was also the first time, Napoleon wore what became his trademark hat! It wasn't until Napoleon's successful campaign on the October 5, 1795 battle known in French as the 13 Vendemiaire an IV, that Napoleon gained sudden fame, wealth, and the patronage of a new French government! Not long after marrying Josephine on March 9,  1796, Napoleon went onto different military campaigns. It is said that under Napoleon's leadership, the French fought 67 actions, and won 18 pitched battles! Napoleon eventually became the First Consul of France in November 1799, before crowning himself as Emperor of France on December 2, 1804, at the Notre Dame Cathedral! However, as time rolled on, the constant fighting began to take their toll on the French, and Europe at large. After the disastrous seizure of Portugal, and the failed battle of Moscow, the allied nations of Europe finally banded together to soundly defeat Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. Napoleon was exiled to the island of St. Helena, where he would spend the rest of his life until he died on May 5, 1821, from Stomach Cancer. His hat was nowhere to be found, until it found it's way to the Temple! Your job is to retrieve the lost hat of Napoleon Bonaparte and bring it back here!"

Sniz says: "Thanks, Olmec! Where can the Lost Hat of Napoleon Bonaparte, be found?" Olmec says: "The Lost Hat can be found in the Abandoned Armory!" Sniz says: "Okay, teams! You know the drill, I'll let you take it from here! Olmec, take it away!" Olmec asks: "When and where was Napoleon born?" Buhdeuce rings in and answers: "On August 15, 1769, on Ajaccio on the Island of Corsica, in the Kingdom of France!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down a step! Stimpy says: "Buhdeuce is SURE a lot smarter than he looks! We'll have to be on our toes!" Olmec asks: "What height did Napoloen grow to be?" Stimpy rings in, and he says: "5 Feet, 2 inches!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down a step! Stimpy sighs in relief, and he says: "I think I'm good for now! You can get the rest, Spongebob!" Spongebob says: "Thank you!" Olmec asks: "What was the name of Napoleon's OLDER brother?" Taotie rings in, and he says: "Joseph!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Purple Parrots move down a step! Taotie says: "SEE, Bubble Bass? And you were WORRIED that I would get it WRONG!" Bubble Bass says: "ONE right answer does NOT indicate a trend!" Olmec asks: "What type of personality did Napoleon develop, as a result of being bullied?" Buhdeuce rings in, and he says: "An assertive, domineering personality!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down a step! Yakkity says: "Come on, Taotie! You should've GOTTEN that one!" Taotie says: "That little duck is FAST! Like, CRAZY fast! He's ALMOST as fast as TIGRESS!" Po seriously asks: "REALLY?!" Taotie says: "I said, 'ALMOST' as fast!" Po says: "Oh. THAT makes more sense, than!" Olmec asks: "What was the name of the academy that Napoleon graduated from in 1785?" Taotie rings in, and he says: "The Ecole Militaire in Paris!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Purple Parrots move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "Come on! You've got to let ME answer the next one! YOU'RE still in negative points, and the rest of us Purple Parrots STILL haven't scored!" Taotie scoffs, and he says: "If you think I'm just going to let MYSELF be eliminated; YOU'RE crazy!"

Bubble Bass scoffs, and he says: "PLEASE!! Kowalski and Private were crazy; Kaput, Aang, and Verminious J. Snaptrap were crazy; Zim and Squidward were crazy; Dora and Otto were crazy; Zarbon and Kitty were crazy; Treeflower and Daggett were crazy; but I've been tested, and Bubble Bass is NOT crazy!" Yakkity says: "Taotie, unless ONE of us scores some POSITIVE points, we'll ALL be tied for second DEAD last!" Taotie rolls his eyes, and says: "FINE!!!!" (Confessional) Taotie says: "I HATE it when someone uses the 'Logic' argument! Mostly because, it almost ALWAYS works!" / Bubble Bass says: "Taotie is LUCKY that this is an automatic elimination! Otherwise, I'd be voting HIM off!" (End Confessional) Olmec asks: "What broke out in 1789?" Spongebob rings in and answers: "The French Revolution!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Green Monkeys move down a step! Larry says: "This is it! Just ONE question left to go!" Olmec asks: "What was Napoleon's first successful battle?" Buhdeuce rings in and answers: "The Siege of Toulon!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And the Red Jaguars move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "The Red Jaguars have won the Steps of Knowledge! And since BUHDEUCE was the only one to answer the questions for the Red Jagaurs, HE receives the Immunity Pendant!" Larry turns to Sandy, and he asks: "STILL think it was a good idea to sit that one out? Spongebob seemed to handle himself JUST fine, and I didn't even get to answer a single QUESTION!" Sandy says: "Hey! It's not like WE'RE in danger like Taotie and the rest of the Purple Parrots are! We are STILL in a good position!"

Sniz says: "Speaking of position, Taotie has bumped himself up, but he's still at Negative 40, Stimpy is at 12, Spongebob is at 17, Buhdeuce is at 36, and everyone else is still where they were! It's time for the Challenge Arena! One of Napoleon's worst losses was at the Battle of Moscow. Due to the horrible weather and being unprepared for the conditions they were faced with, Napoleon and his forces were forced to make a DISASTROUS retreat from Moscow, losing many of his troops along the way! Likewise, during this competition; you've lost plenty members from your own teams! And this is a GOOD chance for the Purple Parrots to catch up! Because during this challenge, you will be re-enacting a scaled down version of the Retreat From Moscow! Each team will be carrying wooden replicas of the contestants that have been eliminated before. Eight for the Green Monkeys, eight for the Red Jaguars, and a WHOPPING 18 to represent the various Blue Barracudas, Silver Snakes, Orange Iguanas, and Purple Parrots, for the Purple Parrots! Each wooden replica is worth ten points! But be warned! If you get hit by a meatball cannon shot, you will LOSE one of your wooden replicas! At the end of the challenge, the points of the remaining wooden replicas will be divided as evenly as possible for each contestant on each team! The team that has the most points at the end of the challenge, will get the chance to do the Temple Run! Unfortunately, we don't have the budget to do a reward for competing the Temple Run this time, so you'll have to be satisfied with winning!" Buhdeuce says: "That's fine with me. I'm PRETTY sure that duck, and lobster are on a GOOD number of menus in France, anyways!" Sniz says: "And to get you in the mood for this challenge, we will be playing Neil Young's 'Don't Let It Bring You Down'. Everyone's competing in THIS challenge, so I hope you're all ready!" Spongebob says: "We better be! Our collective safety is COUNTING on it!" Sniz says: "All right! Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

During the challenge, Stimpy KEEPS pushing his fellow team-mates out of the way of incoming fire, and keeps eating the meatball cannon fire, but still gets hit four times regardless, while Taotie keeps getting hit due to his wide frame, and lack of athletic ability! / Neil Young sings: "Old man lying by the side of the road, with the lorries rolling by. Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load, and the buildings scrape the sky. Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn and the morning paper flies, 'Dead man lying by the side of the road, with the daylight in his eyes'. Don't let it bring you down. It's only castles burning. Find someone who's turning, and you will come around. (And you will come around). Blind man running through the light of the night, with an answer in his hand. Come on down to the river of sight, and you can really understand. Red lights flashing through the window in the rain. Can you hear the sirens moan? White cane lying in a gutter in the lane, if you're walking home alone. Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning! Just find someone who's turning, and you will come around! (And you will come around)! Don't let it bring you down. It's only castles burning. Just find someone who's turning, and you will come around!" / And the song ends as the challenge ends! Sniz says: "All right! Time is up! It's time to find out how many wooden replicas each team saved! The Green Monkeys saved 1, 2, 4 wooden replicas, so that equals 40 points. The Purple Parrots saved 1, 2, 4, 8 wooden replicas, so that equals 80 points. The Red Jaguars saved 1, 2, 4, 8 wooden replicas, so that equals 80 points. Ordinarily, this WOULD be a tie between the Red Jagaurs and the Purple Parrots! However, Taotie DID start off with a negative score, so we have to take that into account! With 40 points, the Green Monkeys each receive 8 points..." Stimpy says: "Actually, can you shuffle MY points to the others? I think it was MY fault we didn't save more, and I don't want MY mistake to be reflected on the rest of the team!" Marlene asks: "Stimpy, what are you saying?!" Stimpy sighs, and he says: "This is MY way of paying for my mistake! If one of us HAS to be eliminated, I'd rather be the one to go. I've already won, and besides; I have some unfinished business I have to take care of, and I can't do it in this game."

Sniz says: "Very well. In that case, the other Green Monkeys each get 10 points! So Spongebob has 27 points, Stimpy has 12 points, and the other Green Monkeys have 17 points! With the Purple Parrots score, Taotie actually bumped himself up to NEGATIVE 20, and the other Purple Parrots have 20 points! With the Red Jaguars score, Buhdeuce has bumped himself up to 54 points, and the other Red Jaguars have scored 24 points! The Red Jaguars have the overall higher score, so they're going to the Temple! And that means that Taotie and Stimpy, you two, have the lowest scores out of all the contestants! You two will be taking the Mine Cart of Shame tonight! But first, it's time for the Temple Run! Who is willing to go first for the Red Jaguars?!" Sandy says: "I'll go first! It's the least I can do for my team!" Buhdeuce says: "I'll go second! I'm feeling the metaphorical itch!" Sniz says: "Very well! Map will detail your progress, as Olmec gives you details on where you need to go!" Map says: "I'm on it!" / And Map's visual information fills in, as Olmec narrates! Olmec says: "First, you will enter through the Roman Catacombs. Push in the correct Gargoyle Statue, than head across the Mountain Pass! Avoid the falling boulders, and push in the correct rock, to head into the Bell Tower! Ring the bell, than head into the Painter's Study! Assemble the pieces of the painting, than head into the Hall of Armor! Place yourself into the correct suit of Armor, than head into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the Monkey in the correct order, than head into the Emperor's Chamber! Smash the clay pots to find the key, and slide down into the Abandoned Armory, where you can find the Lost Hat of Napoleon Bonaparte! Use the cannon to knock down the stone wall, and head into the Dark Forest! Pull on the right branch, and head into the Pharaoh's Chamber! Find the right key, that will lead you into the Banquet Chamber! Twist the right cup, than you will head back through the Pit. Than climb through the Sea Cave, and back to the Temple Entrance! The choices are yours, and yours alone! Good luck!" Sniz says: "All right, Red Jaguars! Time to see what your skills can do! Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

Sandy takes off, and Sniz narrates the action as she goes along! / Sniz says: "Sandy is in the Catacombs, and a Temple Guard right off the bat! She gives up her pendant, now she has to find the right statue; and she's found it! Across the mountain pass! Got to watch out for the falling boulders, and push in the right rock! She's found it! Up into the Bell Tower! She's got to ring the bell! And she's done it! Down into the Painter's Study! Another Temple Guard! Go, Buhdeuce, go! Through the Catacombs! Across the Mountain Pass! Into the Bell Tower, and down into the Painter's Study! Now he's got to assemble the painting in the right order! He's done it! Into the Hall of Armor! One of the suits was possessed by Johnny Krill as a Temple Guard! Buhdeuce gives up his pendant, and he's found the right suit of armor! Into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! He's got the base and the stomach together! Now he's just got to put the head in! The door is open! Into the Emperor's Chamber! He's got to smash the clay pots to find the key, and he's found it! Down he slides into the Armory! He's got to blow the stone wall down! He's done it, and he's got the Lost Hat! All the doors are open! Through the Dark Forest, through the Pharaoh's Chamber, through the Banquet Chamber! Now through the Pit, and up through the Sea Cave! He's made it! Buhdeuce has made it with 20 seconds to spare! Congratulations on winning the Temple Run! Red Jaguars, come help us see Taotie and Stimpy off, as well as to help us determine the fates, of the soon to be dissolved, Purple Parrots!" (Confessional) Sandy says: "You know, it's become INCREASINGLY apparent to me, that I could actually LOSE to Buhdeuce!" / Buhdeuce says: "Some people would say that it's a mathematical impossibility, but I always try to play with 110% of my ability, whenever I compete in something!" (End Confessional) Everyone is at the Elimination Ceremony.

Everyone has a chocolate pendant of life, except for Taotie and Stimpy. Po gives Taotie a hug, and Po says: "I'm sorry you have to leave us tonight." Taotie says: "Well, at least I can leave knowing I got closer to the grand prize as a good guy, than I ever did as a bad guy! And now that I know how to be a good guy, I plan to be the BEST good guy friend to the Dragon Warrior, that you could ever hope for!" Po says: "I'm very happy to hear that!" Spongebob hugs Stimpy, and Spongebob says: "Thanks for helping to support our team all this time! We won't forget what you've done for us!" Stimpy says: "Thanks! It's good to know that my skills are still as sharp as ever! Now, I've got something to do, that I REALLY need to do!" Taotie says: "If it's any consolation, I'll be there to help you!" Stimpy says: "Thank you, that means a lot to me!" Taotie and Stimpy put on their helmets, and strap themselves into the Mine Cart of Shame. Sniz asks: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" And the Mine Cart rockets down the rails, and through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Sniz says: "And just like that, another former champ bites the dust; metaphorically speaking! Speaking of biting the dust, with only three members; the Purple Parrots shall be no more! Therefore, they will be given to the soon to be six member Green Monkeys, and Red Jaguars! Green Monkeys, who will you pick?" Spongebob thinks about it, and he says: "Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak!" Bubble Bass excitedly says: "Yes! We're STILL on the same team, Yakkity!" Yakkity says: "And I have a NEW team color! It took a while, but we're FINALLY with the Green Monkeys!" Sniz says: "And by default, that means that Po is now on the Red Jaguars!" Po says: "Tigress' old team! I hope to do this team justice, the same way that Tigress did!" Sniz says: "Well, we're down to two teams, and 12 contestants! We've just about reached the point, where only ONE contestant will be eliminated per episode! And it's STILL anybody's game to win or lose! Who will come out on top? Find out in the next episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where excitement and excellence are NEVER sold short!" /

Stinger: Taotie and Stimpy exit out of the portal, to find themselves right in FRONT of the California Men's Colony, near San Luis Obispo, California! In a wordless montage, Taotie and Stimpy go in to visit Ren, all set to the tune of The Eagles' "Try And Love Again", as performed by The Real Breadwinners! / Sway-Sway sings: "When you're out there on your own, where your memories can find you. Like a circle goes around, you were lost until you found out, what it all comes down to. One by one, the lonely feelings come. Day by day, they slowly fade away! Oh, the look was in his eyes! You never know what might be found there! He was dancing right in time! And the moves he made so fine, like the music that surrounds him! Should I stay or go? I really want to know! Would I lose or win, if I try and love again? Woah! Gonna try and love again! Woah! I'm gonna try and love again! Gonna try and love! Right or wrong, what's done is done. It's only moments that you borrow, but the thoughts will linger on; of the man and his song. When the sun comes up tomorrow, well, it might take years to see! Through all these tears, don't let go! When you find it, you will know! Oh, gonna try and love again! Oh, gonna try and love again! Oh, gonna try and love again! Sometimes lose, sometimes win, sometimes you need a friend! Gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try! Woah! Gonna try and love again! Woah! Gonna try and love again!" / And the song fades out as the montage ends! /

Personal Notes: The reason why Taotie spent so long on the Purple Parrots, is because he had to struggle to have his role on the Purple Parrots be taken seriously, and prove to EVERYBODY, especially Po, that his "Heel-Face Turn" was for real; and finally atone for his misdeeds that he committed while he was evil! In fact, the main reason WHY he was eliminated, is because cementing his "Heel-Face Turn" in the previous episode, left him with his story-arc completed, and he left, due to the mistake he committed, by voting off Bulma Briefs! As for Stimpy, I really thought he would be a lot more active than he was. But it was hard to come up with a more satisfying story-line for him this season, than needing to make amends with Ren, and Stimpy realizing that he was also a flawed individual. Having decided that I had carried Stimpy's story-line as far as I could, I decided to give Stimpy a rather respectable finish, having managed to outlast 33 other contestants during his time as a contestant this season! Hopefully, I'll be able to write SHORTER episodes due to the contestants NOW only being at 12 total! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

It's another long re-run, so I'll just get right to it! / Before the episode starts proper, an episode disclaimer appears at the start of the episode. It reads as follows: "The following episode, based around Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland, contains references to drug usage. The author personally, does not condone the usage of drugs except when used for medicinal, and responsible purposes. Any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental, and should not be inferred. ~ Jason Cantu." / Sniz is on top of the Steps of Knowledge, and he says: "Last time, on Total Cartoon Legends; the Green Monkeys and the Purple Parrots were left reeling, after the discovery that Bulma Briefs had been telling the truth; and they eliminated her for NOTHING! Desperate to heal their Karma, the contestants went to great lengths to make amends for their mistake! Taotie ended up paying for his mistake PHYSICALLY, as nearly EVERY single meatball cannon shot that was fired, ended up hitting him! Stimpy on the other hand, realizing that he was flawed as anyone else, decided that he needed to put HIMSELF on the line, in order to heal his own karma; mostly because, he felt like he needed to talk to Ren again! I don't completely understand his train of thought on that, but that's his OWN personal agenda! In any case, at the end of the challenge, the Red Jaguars won the most points, with Buhdeuce winning the Temple Run! At the end of the challenge, Taotie and Stimpy had the least points out of everyone, and they ended up taking a Mine Cart Ride out of the game! Not only that, but the Purple Parrots were dissolved, with Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak winding up on the Green Monkeys, and Po winding up on the Red Jaguars! Now, we are down to TWO teams! And only a couple of Double Eliminations remain! In the mean-time, things are about to get surreal, on a very PSYCHEDELIC episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "It's FAR OUT, Man!" / Instead of the normal show opening, it shows all of the remaining contestants' most surreal moments from their own shows, and the "Total Cartoon" series, shown warped and distorted, and set to the tune of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit"! /

(Instrumental Opening) Grace Slick sings: "One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small. And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall! And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall, tell them a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call. And call Alice when she was just small. When the men on the chessboard, get up and tell you where to go; and you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low; go ask Alice! I think she'll know! When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead; and the White Knight is talking backwards, and the Red Queen's 'Off with her head'! Remember what the dormouse said; feed your head! Feed your head!" / And the montage and song ends! / "The Legend Of The Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll!" / Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak, have brought their belongings from their old trailers, into the area of the hotel, being used by the Green Monkeys! Marlene says: "Welcome to our NOT so humble abode! With any luck, it will be YOUR home away from home, for a good while!" Bubble Bass says: "So, THIS is part of the secret to the Green Monkey's great success! I would've expected no less from Spongebob Squarepants! Truly, reports of your so-called 'Ineptitude', have been GREATLY exaggerated!" Spongebob is puzzled, and says: "Thank you?" Bubble Bass says: "I was HONESTLY giving you a COMPLIMENT! Clearly, if you can last THIS long in a competition, outlasting TWO other champs so far, than Sniz placing you on the Green Monkeys, CLEARLY wasn't a fluke! I mean, I actually had to EARN my right to be on THIS team! But you; it looks like you are where you were ALWAYS meant to be! Spongebob, I've always known you to be a culinary genius; but now, I have to admit that you're a TECHNICAL genius as well!" Spongebob says: "Well, I do spend a lot of spare time reading; I ABSORBED a lot of facts!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! Yakkity laughs, and he says: "Sponge humor! That's clever!" Future Rube says: "Dad, you being in the same team as me, isn't going to be a problem, is it?"

Bubble Bass says: "I don't see why it SHOULD be! You want to win, just as much as I do! Now I obviously have no way of KNOWING how it's going to go down; all I know is that, you need to do what you FEEL you need to do! I just want to let you know, that you shouldn't expect me to go EASY on you! After all, you need to learn that you HAVE to earn your wins; even against your dad!" Future Rube says: "I wouldn't expect anything less!" Wally says: "But what can we expect now? I mean, we're down to just two teams. It won't be much longer before the remaining contestants merge!" Yakkity says: "I personally have NO way of knowing! Being a NEW contestant, I honestly never EXPECTED to get this far! But now that I have, I might as well try to EARN my 'Legend' status the best that I can!" Spongebob says: "And personally, I've never been put INTO the role of a leader for my team, before! And I think Sandy has been TRYING to avoid it for as long as she could, but I think we'll soon be pitted AGAINST each other!" Bubble Bass winces, and he says: "THAT...is SO not a good thing! And not just for the OBVIOUS reasons!" Future Rube asks: "Why is THAT?!" Marlene says: "It's a classic 'Catch-22' scenario! If Spongebob BEATS Sandy, she will RESENT him for actually BEING better than her for the REST of his LIFE!" Spongebob says: "Not true! I outlasted Sandy in season two, and SHE didn't get upset, than!" Wally says: "That was different! You didn't personally ELIMINATE Sandy in that season, and she KNOWS it! One way or the other, one of you MIGHT be leaving at the end of this challenge!" Yakkity says: "It's up to you, Spongebob. Just know that whatever choice you make, we're behind you all the way." Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Sandy wouldn't just give up and avoid the challenge. We can't afford to do that either. Even if it SEEMS like a mathematical impossibility, we need to play with 110% of OUR playing ability! It's our best chance of coming out on top over the Red Jaguars!" Marlene says: "WOW! That IS very bold of you!" Spongebob says: "I guess Bubble Bass' bravery is rubbing off on me!" Bubble Bass' eyes widen up, and he asks: "Do you REALLY think I'm brave?!" Spongebob says: "Of course I do! You're honest, you've done an AMAZING job raising Infant Rube, and you've really learned how to be a great father, thanks to FUTURE Rube! Bubble Bass, Rube is LUCKY to have a father like you!"

Bubble Bass says: "Wow! Praised by Spongebob himself! Well, I think we all know what we have to do in the upcoming challenge! We ALL have to be the best versions of ourselves, and play to the best of our abilities, whatever comes our way!" Wally says: "No need to worry about me! With Future Rube as my witness, you can count on me; Admiral Wally, his Smartness!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "Admittedly, probably not EVERY contestant who's been ON the Green Monkeys; were equally capable of winning this season! But that doesn't mean that it didn't hurt me a little inside every time our team lost a contestant. But now that the rest of us are still here, there's no more room for second-guessing myself! Sandy's going to come roaring out of the starting gate, and I need to be prepared for that! Even if that's not what Sandy is prepared for, it's what I need to do! Or what kind of a team leader am I? A rhetorical question by the way, don't answer that!" / Marlene says: "I admit, I had TROUBLE getting recognition during the EARLY phase of this season! But now, that it's down to a core 12, I feel like I finally have room to breathe, and be a key player in these games! It won't be easy to make it to the Final Three AGAIN, but I feel like I'm UP to the challenge!" / Wally says: "Now that Bubble Bass is on the same team with Future Rube and me, I feel like our team's bonds, strong as they are; have only gotten that much stronger! I don't know how much unity the Red Jaguars have; but I know that if we face each struggle together, we'll emerge from this game show as STILL great friends! And some of us, even MORE than that!" /

Yakkity says: "My personal test this season, has been surviving all the team shuffles that I've had to endure! But despite the constant team changes, the fact remains that I have managed to make it all the way HERE! I'm actually CLIMBING the summit, of the metaphorical mountain of legends! All that's left, is to reach the peak!" / Bubble Bass is feeding Infant Rube a bottle of milk, and Infant Rube IS starting to look a little bigger! Bubble Bass says: "This competition has DEFINITELY been a test of my mental resources, in more ways than one! After all, when a baby needs EVERYTHING from you; any other priorities have to come second! I'm just lucky that I'm as smart as I am; I feel prepared for just about anything!" And Infant Rube suddenly squeals, and he says: "D...d...d...d...DADDY!!!!" Bubble Bass gasps, and he says: "NEPTUNE! He said his FIRST word! And it was ME!!!! And it was CAUGHT on camera! I wonder how BLONDA is going to feel about that?" / Future Rube glances to the camera, and he says: "Even though I lived it and I can SEE it, it's STILL hard to believe I was REALLY that small!" (End Confessional) Meanwhile, the Red Jaguars are having a discussion of their own, in the hotel lobby! Larry sighs, and he says: "Sandy, you know that I COMPLETELY respect you, and all the personal decisions that you have had to make, in order to keep us here." Sandy sighs, and she says: "And HERE'S where the 'But' comes in!" Larry says: "BUT, that does not mean that every decision you have made has turned out well for us!" Buhdeuce says: "We've got Po on our side now! How is THAT not a good decision?!" Sandy says: "If he's referring to the fact that we DON'T have Bubble Bass on our team, I would like to remind LARRY that it was HIS idea, to NOT have another champ on our team!" Larry says: "A decision that I still STAND by, for YOUR information! I'm talking about your decision to NOT directly face off against Spongebob in a competition of this nature!" Sandy shouts: "Spongebob is a DELICATE FLOWER!!!! He would WILT if he was CRUSHED by my full potential!" Dudley asks: "Are you deliberately NOW ignoring the fact that Spongebob ONCE turned FULL Super Saiyan 2? That does NOT scream 'Delicate Flower' to me!" Chameleon says: "And besides, a delicate flower looks like THIS!" And Chameleon transforms himself into a glass tulip, before changing back to normal!

Po says: "And let's not forget, Spongebob personally bested Aang, Snaptrap, Darwin, and Treeflower in this competition, and MOST of them weren't exactly lightweights! As a matter of fact, I have to wonder! SURELY those facts haven't slipped your mind! I want to know; what is the REAL reason you're holding back?!" Buhdeuce gasps, and it DAWNS on him as he says: "She's AFRAID that Spongebob WILL turn Super Saiyan 2 again!" Larry gasps, and he asks: "REALLY?! Is that TRUE, Sandy?!" Sandy nods her head sadly, and she says: "Yes." Dudley says: "WOW! No wonder Sandy has been handling Spongebob with kid gloves so far! We had almost FORGOTTEN about THAT elephant in the room!" Chameleon says: "But we don't HAVE any elephant, unless you want ME to turn into one!" Po says: "It's a completely METAPHORICAL elephant!" Chameleon says: "Oh, right!" Larry says: "Sandy, I REALLY don't think Spongebob will go Super Saiyan 2, JUST to win a STUPID competition! Besides, he LOVES you, and he would NEVER want to hurt you!" Buhdeuce says: "Besides; you're only crazy angry the FIRST time you turn into a Super Saiyan 2! On subsequent cases, you're able to control your anger!" Sandy asks: "Have YOU ever personally turned into a Super Saiyan 2?" Buhdeuce says: "No, but that's BESIDE the point!" Larry says: "Sandy, you LOST the game once, because you underestimated MY brains and skills! Don't make the same mistake against Spongebob, because you underestimated HIS brains and skills!" Sandy says: "Well, if it's SO easy to beat Spongebob, why don't YOU do it?! Put your money where your MOUTH is, why don't you?!" Larry is taken aback, but he scoffs, and he says: "FINE! It will be EASY! I outlasted Spongebob in a competition TWICE, I can CERTAINLY do it again! But mark my words; IF I beat Spongebob, you WON'T be far behind, Sandy!" Sandy asks: "But why?!" Buhdeuce says: "I think he's saying that, in terms of team leaders, WE can do BETTER!" Larry says: "Not the way I would've put it, but yes!"

(Confessional) Sandy sighs, and she says: "I've been DREADING having to face Spongebob in competition, all because he HAS the ability to turn Super Saiyan 2! Even if he IS able to control the anger impulses, he's STILL far stronger than the rest of us, save MAYBE for Po, put together! If Larry wants a crack at Spongebob, he can have AT it! I personally, want NOTHING to do with it!" / Larry says: "Look; I have spent roughly the past 20 of my 24 years of life, working and training to get the strong body that I have! What kind of athlete would I be, if I let a sponge with LESS than roughly THREE months of training, beat me in a competition?! A rhetorical question by the way, don't answer it!" / Buhdeuce says: "A Super Saiyan 2 Transformation?! That would be a REAL Breadwinner move! The trouble is, you can't just start OFF having that kind of transformation! Like Spongebob, you NEED a traumatic trigger, in order to access that kind of power and strength! Personally, I'd rather NOT have to undergo THAT kind of a transformation unless I really HAD to! After all, it's DANGEROUS to lose yourself to an anger and rage THAT strong!" / Po says: "Can I take on a Super Saiyan 2? That's hard to know. And I personally DON'T want to have to answer that question unless I absolutely HAVE to! The Dragon Warrior DOESN'T fight, just for the SAKE of fighting! He fights to protect those, who can't protect themselves!" / Dudley says: "Personally, I think Sandy and Larry are starting to worry about their chances for winning! And quite frankly, it's hard to blame them! I mean, there ARE only two of them on the Red Jaguars, and four contestants NOT from Spongebob Squarepants, counting me, are competing against them! So, unless we win this challenge; they're going to be on the cutting block, and I DON'T mean for sushi!" / Chameleon says: "Look, if it comes right down to it, I HAVE to vote with Buhdeuce, Dudley, and Po, and vote off Sandy and Larry! Larry, because he's already won; and Sandy will inevitably team up with Spongebob if she makes it to the team merge! It's purely a strategic decision, on my part!" (End Confessional)

It is morning, and everyone is in the cafeteria, eating breakfast. Johnny Krill says: "You know, if someone told me at the START of this season, that out of the four teams, we'd wind up with only two; I would've played a LOT harder to make it as a contestant!" General Barracuda scoffs, and he says: "Like you would've had the BRAINS to actually do it! Even BUHDEUCE has more competent skills than you; and he's undergone MORE transformations than you can shake a stick at!" Johnny Krill sighs, and he says: "It's a fair cop!" Suddenly, Sniz rings a gong, and over the loud-speakers, Sniz says: "Attention contestants! Breakfast time is over! Just a reminder, Taotie and Stimpy were eliminated at the last competition; Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak are now on the Green Monkeys, and Po is now on the Red Jaguars! In other words, the Purple Parrots are no more! Please proceed to the Moat to find out about today's challenge! That is all!" Spongebob looks over to Sandy, and he says: "Well, this is it! No turning back, now!" Sandy sighs, and she says: "Spongebob, I WON'T be challenging you; Larry is!" Spongebob says: "But if you DON'T face me, won't THAT put you at risk?" Sandy says: "Well, we have no way of KNOWING who's going to win THIS challenge; even Future Rube doesn't know! If you WANT to stay, you're going to have to beat Larry! It's that SIMPLE!" Larry says: "HEY! Whose side are you on, ANYWAYS?!" Sandy groans, and she says: "DON'T be like THAT! This is HARD enough for me, as it is!" (Confessional) Sandy says: "I've got to say it; it SUCKS to be STUCK in the middle the way I am!" / Spongebob says: "Sandy doesn't want to confront me! WHY?!" And Spongebob gasps, as it finally DAWNS on him! Spongebob says: "The Super Saiyan 2 Transformation! She must be AFRAID that she'll somehow trigger that form of mine! But I promised I would NEVER use that form unless it was an ACTUAL emergency! And if Sandy doesn't HONESTLY realize that...she's in trouble!" / Larry says: "I think that given the circumstances, I've been EXTREMELY patient and forgiving with Sandy up until now! But, she's GOING to have to make a CHOICE; her team, or her husband! And good luck with coming up with a POSSIBLE third option in THAT scenario!" (End Confessional)

The contestants suit up into their team colors, and head for the Moat! Sniz says: "Welcome contestants! At long last, we have FINALLY reached the number of players that an ACTUAL episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple started off with on each episode! Of course, by the end of today, we will be eliminating two more contestants! One team will win, one team will lose. It's that simple! Of course, today's challenge may be ANYTHING but simple! Olmec, tell us what today's Legend is!" Olmec says: "Today's legend, is the Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll!" Buhdeuce asks: "WAIT! Can we LEGALLY reference that legend?" Po says: "Technically, we can! You see, Lewis Carroll's original book Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, was originally written in 1865! And since we're ONLY referencing the book, we can legally do that, given that the actual book has LONG since fallen into the public domain!" Marlene says: "Thank goodness for the public domain! It's not just for High School Book Reports anymore!" Sniz says: "In any case, we're going to re-enact a scene from the book! At one point, Alice grew SO tall, she LITERALLY cried a lake full of tears, which she later had to get out of, when she shrunk by down to size! Therefore, in crossing the Moat, you will ride in an over-sized bottle, from one of the Moat, to the other! Each team will be divided into groups of three, with the end result being that two bottles from each team gets across! Once every member of each team gets across, they will ring their Gong Pedestal, in order to win a Pendant of Life, that they will need for the Temple Run! Spongebob, Marlene, and Yakkity will be the first group for the Green Monkeys; Larry, Dudley, and Chameleon will be the first group for the Red Jaguars, and the other contestants will be in the second group! And since you'll be traveling in bottles, what better way to mark the occasion, than with The Police song, 'Message In A Bottle'?" Po asks: "Wait! How are WE able to AFFORD to use all of these songs, anyways?!"

Sniz says: "MERCHANDISING!" Wally asks: "Merchandising?" Sniz says: "Sure! I'll show you! Johnny Krill, open up the store!" Johnny opens up a HUGE merchandise store, and a BUNCH of "Total Cartoon" related merchandise appears in it! Sniz says: "Take a look! We put the series' name on EVERYTHING! Merchandising, merchandising! Where the REAL money from the series is made! Total Cartoon the lunch-box, Total Cartoon the breakfast cereal, Total Cartoon the coloring book, Total Cartoon the T-Shirt, Total Cartoon the FLAMETHROWER!!!! The kids really LOVE that one! And last but not least, Total Cartoon the Talking Toy, ME!" Sniz pushes a button on his action figure, and it says: "Don't forget to be a loyal viewer, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Sniz kisses it, and he says: "It's POPULAR with the ladies!" (Confessional) Po says: "Well, mystery solved!" / Marlene says: "FIGURES that most of these legends HAVE come from the Public Domain! How ELSE could Sniz AFFORD to give us some REWARD incentives after some of these challenges?!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "In any case, you know the drill, so I'll let you get right to it! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" / During the montage, the first group of contestants get across the moat just fine. But Sandy and Buhdeuce REALLY have to struggle, due to Po's immense MUSCLE weight, slowing their progress down! /

Sting sings: "Just a castaway, an island lost at sea! Another lonely day, with no one here but me! More loneliness, than any man could bear! Rescue me before I fall into despair! I'll send an SOS to the world! I'll send an SOS to the world! I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle! Message in a bottle! A year has passed since I wrote my note; but I should have known this right from the start! Only hope can keep me together! Love can mend your life, but love can break your heart! I'll send an SOS to the world! I'll send an SOS to the world! I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle! Message in a bottle. Oh, message in a bottle. Message in a bottle. Walked out this morning; don't believe what I saw! A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore! Seems I'm not alone at being alone! A hundred billion castaways, looking for a home! I'll send an SOS to the world! I'll send an SOS to the world! I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle! Message in a bottle. Message in a bottle. Message in a bottle. Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS! Sending out an SOS!" / And the song fades out, as the challenge ends as the Green Monkeys finish crossing first! Sniz says: "And the Green Monkeys have done it! They have finished crossing, and they win a Pendant of Life, that they will need for the Temple Run!" Spongebob says: "Good work, everybody! We all did it together!" Larry turns to Sandy, and he scoffs: "Hmph! It seems like Spongebob is doing perfectly FINE for himself in this challenge! Maybe YOU'RE worried over NOTHING!" Sandy says: "Super Saiyan 2 ISN'T nothing!" Spongebob says: "You're honestly WORRIED about that?! Sandy, you HAVE my promise! I am not, COULD not, and would NEVER turn into a Super Saiyan 2 against you! There are NO circumstances that could EVER--!" Marlene screams: "DON'T SAY IT!! I know, the possibility is a very, very, TINY possibility; but it STILL exists! If you FINISH that sentence the way you WANT to, you WILL inevitably be FACED with whether you will KEEP your word, or have to BREAK the promise that you made! And I guarantee you, Karma WILL find a way to test your resolve!"

Spongebob sighs, and he says: "LIKELY make me turn into a Super Saiyan 2 in this competition; but I would NEVER stop being who I am because of that! And THAT is a promise, that I CAN keep!" Marlene nods her head, and she says: "That's better!" Sniz says: "We've got to get everybody dried off, but don't go away! Because we'll be right back with MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / After the commercials end, the contestants have gathered at the Steps Of Knowledge! Buhdeuce asks: "Another SHORT commercial break?!" Po says: "That can only mean that Sniz is worried about the CONTENT of this challenge again!" Wally says: "Well, at least NONE of us are robots; and we ALL know better than to say ANYTHING that's NOT suitable for television!" Bubble Bass says: "Right! Bulma's elimination certainly took care of THAT problem!" Sniz arrives, and he says: "It's true! I want to keep this episode done as quickly as possible! No muss, no fuss, no asparagus, unless you happen to LIKE that sort of thing!" Chameleon says: "Sometimes with butter! I'm pretty sure it helps keep my skin green!" Sniz says: "Well, in any case, seeing as how there are only two teams; we'll have to do the Steps of Knowledge a bit differently! Four contestants from each team will answer questions. HOWEVER, only the two contestants from each team, that make it down to the bottom of the Steps of Knowledge, will get to compete in the Challenge Arena! So, it will take a good combination of knowledge AND skill to prevail in this challenge! With that being said, you shall decide, who will volunteer for the Steps of Knowledge!" Spongebob says: "Bubble Bass, even though we've had some differences in the past, I can think of nobody better to help me win the Steps of Knowledge, than you!" Bubble Bass says: "Well in that case, I will do the best I can to help you!" Future Rube says: "I'm not ready to face against my father just yet. Marlene, will you and Yakkity be the other group?" Marlene says: "Sure! I'll give it a shot! I've never worked with a yak before, but there's a first time for everything!" Yakkity says: "Awesome! I'm with Miss Congeniality herself!" Larry asks: "MISS Congeniality? Is THAT what they're calling her now? In any case, I'm partnering with BUHDEUCE!"

Sandy yells in shock: "WHAT?! You'd pick HIM, over ME?! After everything I've DONE for this team?!" Larry scoffs, and he says: "If you did HALF as much for this team as you SAID you did, our team numbers wouldn't have GOTTEN this LOW, at this point in the game! It's OBVIOUS you need a vacation! I think circumstances FORCE us to CHOOSE a new leader! And I pick, ME!!!!" Sandy growls, and she says: "Who does this invertebrate think he's DEALING with, ANYWAYS?!" Larry says: "The rock lobster, is TAKING over!" Sandy scowls, and she angrily yells: "NO one double crosses a squirrel from Texas, and walks away without a THRASHING! Po, partner up with ME! Larry, you just BOUGHT yourself a challenge THROW DOWN!" Larry scoffs, and he says: "Fine with me! It makes the challenge more interesting, for ME!!!!" Dudley turns to Chameleon, and Dudley says: "The Red Jaguars are about to TEAR themselves apart!" Chameleon nods in agreement, and he says: "I think you're right! And I don't know, if there's anything we can do, to STOP it!" Sniz says: "Well, in any case; it's time we get on with the Steps of Knowledge! If either group of Green Monkeys is the first one down, they will receive an Immunity Pendant! Otherwise, they'll have to find it in the Challenge Arena! Olmec, take it away please!"

Olmec says: "Although he was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27, 1832 in Daresbury, England; this man would gain literary fame under his pen name, Lewis Carroll! His works have been praised for their word play, and contrasts between logic and fantasy! Lewis Carroll was initially home schooled, and did not go to a proper school until he was 12, when he attended the Richmond Grammar School in Richmond, North Yorkshire. Although he grew to a height of six feet and was rather slender, Lewis Carroll had to struggle with health problems, such as being deaf in one ear, and Lewis Carroll struggled as he spoke with a stammer, and often had to stand up to bullies, who were bullying younger children. Even so, Lewis Carroll excelled scholastically, and in May 1850, he became matriculated at the University of Oxford! In 1852, he obtained first class honors in Mathematics Moderations, and eventually graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1854! Although Lewis Carroll started writing and publishing poetry and short stories for various magazines between 1854 through 1856, it wasn't until Lewis Carroll took a maritime trip with Henry Liddell, and his daughter, Alice Liddell; the later said to be the inspiration for the LITERARY Alice, did inspiration truly strike him! The legend says, that while Lewis Carroll was having a cup of tea in his teacup, that Lewis Carroll imagined the adventures of a girl in a fantasy land, who would grown and shrink in size, based on what she ate or drank! Although it initially had the title of Alice's Adventure's Under Ground, it was published in 1865, as Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland! Despite rumors by some, that the book contained hidden drug references, no serious evidence has even been uncovered to indicate that the actual book HAS any drug usage! Although Lewis Carroll published 29 other literary works, only the sequel to Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland, Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There, ever sold better than his first book! Lewis Carroll passed away due to Pneumonia, on January 14, 1898. His Teacup was nowhere to be found, until it found it's way to the Temple! Your job, is to retrieve the Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll, and bring it back here!" Sniz says: "Thanks, Olmec! Where can the Lost Teacup of Lewis Carroll be found?" Olmec says: "The Lost Teacup can be found in the Rose Hedge Maze!"

Sniz says: "All right! You know the drill, I will let you take it from here! Olmec, start your questions!" Olmec asks: "What was Lewis Carroll's birth name?" Spongebob rings in and Bubble Bass answers: "Charles Lutwidge Dodgson!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move DOWN a step! Larry asks: "WELL? Are you EVER going to make a MOVE, Sandy?" Sandy says: "That depends. When are YOU going to make one?!" Buhdeuce says: "Normally, I LIKE a good challenge, but you're BOTH getting a little TOO intense!" Larry asks: "INTENSE?! I'll show HER intense!" Olmec asks: "When and where was Lewis Carroll born?" Larry ring in and answers: "On January 27, 1832, in Daresbury, England!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Larry and Buhdeuce move down a step! Larry says: "SEE? I'm not AFRAID of Spongebob!" Sandy says: "Mark my words; if you TRY to beat Spongebob, you're GOING to have a bad time!" Buhdeuce says: "Even I know what THAT'S a reference to!" Olmec asks: "True or false, Lewis Carroll was home-schooled until he was 12?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene answers: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Yakkity and Marlene move down a step! Marlene says: "I know you're both REALLY interested in destroying each other! But don't forget, there ARE other players in this mix as well!" Po says: "I know that, YOU know that! But TRY telling Sandy and Larry THAT!" Olmec asks: "What was the first school that Lewis Carroll attended?" Po rings in and Sandy answers: "The Richmond Grammar School in Richmond, North Yorkshire!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Po and Sandy move down a step! Larry says: "Your answer proves NOTHING, Sandy! It's NOT going to get me to STOP! The only way to make sure that I DON'T beat Spongebob, is to beat him yourself! But are you WILLING to do that, is the question?!" Po says: "Sandy, there's no shame in walking away from a challenge that HAS no winners!" Sandy says: "There is NO one tougher than ME, remaining! I will show YOU what I'm made of!" Wally shakes his head, and he says: "This is SO going to end badly!" Olmec asks: "What were some of the various health problems that Lewis Carroll had?" Spongebob rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "He was deaf in one ear, and he spoke with a stammer!"

Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "Spongebob, I know you're NOT going to like this idea, but you've GOT to get the next question right, or VIOLENCE will break out between Sandy and Larry!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "You're right, Bubble Bass. It IS the lesser of two evils!" Olmec asks: "In what University did Lewis Carroll get matriculated at?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene answers: "The University of Oxford in 1850!" Olmec says: "That is correct! And Marlene and Yakkity move down a step! Marlene says: "Hope you don't mind that I join you!" Bubble Bass asks: "Are you CRAZY?! Larry and Sandy are on the VERGE of destroying each other, and they don't need any additional prodding from YOU to stoke their metaphorical fire!" Yakkity says: "Come on! She was JOKING! She does that!" Bubble Bass says: "There is a time and a PLACE for joking, and it is certainly NOT now!" Olmec asks: "What did Lewis Carroll graduate with?" Buhdeuce rings in and answers: "A Bachelor of Arts, in 1854!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Buhdeuce and Larry move down a step! Larry says: "The moment of TRUTH is upon you! What are YOU going to do?" Sandy seriously says: "Oh, you'll SEE what I'll do soon enough!" Po gulps nervously, and he says: "Why do I not like the sound of THAT?!" Wally says: "Probably, for the same reasons I don't!" Olmec asks: "Who was said to be inspiration, for the literary Alice?" Sandy rings in and answers: "Alice Liddell!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Sandy and Po move down a step! Larry says: "Last CHANCE, Sandy! Make a move, or I WILL!!!!" Chameleon says: "This is TOO intense! I can't WATCH this!" And Chameleon turns into a blindfold, and wraps himself around Dudley's eyes! Dudley says: "Look, I LIKE being next to you, but this is a little MUCH!" Olmec asks: "What was the original planned title, of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland?" And while EVERYONE darts for their buzzer, Spongebob ACTUALLY taps into Super Saiyan SPEED to reach his first, and he answers: "Alice's Adventure's Under Ground!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "Spongebob and Bubble Bass are in it for the Green Monkeys! And one of you gets the Immunity Pendant!" Bubble Bass says: "I think YOU better take it, Spongebob! I think you'll need it a LOT more than I will!"

Spongebob says: "Thank you; but this challenge is NOT over yet!" Sniz says: "Quite right! TWO Red Jaguars need to FINISH this challenge!" Sandy says: "And Larry, YOU failed! Spongebob is BETTER than you; just ADMIT it!" Larry says: "I'll admit to NOTHING, until I LITERALLY wipe the floor with him on the Challenge Arena! I'm NOT letting him BEAT me!" Sandy says: "Not if I BEAT you first!" Larry says: "You'll do no such thing, because THAN, you'd have to try to beat SPONGEBOB, and YOU would NEVER do that! Now, why don't you just RELAX while I WIN?!" Sandy yells: "Why don't YOU just talk to my FISTS?!!!" And before Larry realizes it, Larry and Sandy are in a "Big Ball Of Violence!" Wally yells: "Out of the WAY! A whirlwind of Tom & Jerry proportions are blowing through!" And everyone quickly GETS out of the way of Sandy's and Larry's melee, as they THRASH their way THROUGH the Challenge Arena, and through MOST of the rooms in Olmec's Temple! They come out of the Temple, and Sniz finally shouts: "ENOUGH!!" And Sandy's and Larry's melee finally dissipates! Sniz yells: "What's the idea of BUSTING up the Challenge Arena and Olmec's Temple?! Just LOOK at the damage you caused! It took Johnny Krill TWELVE hours to set up this entire challenge, now HALF of it's BROKEN!!!! This is UNACCEPTABLE behavior, for BOTH of you! You are BOTH receiving 4 penalty votes IMMEDIATELY at the Elimination Ceremony!" Larry yells: "WHAT?! You CAN'T tell us WE'RE attending the Elimination Ceremony! Our TEAM hasn't even LOST yet!" Sniz says: "Well, if you hadn't have BROKEN the Challenge Arena, you would BOTH still have a chance! But seeing as the Challenge Arena and Olmec's Temple are now in disrepair, we now CAN'T do those challenges, and we don't have the TIME in this episode to fix it up! Therefore, since your team LOST at the Steps of Knowledge, your TEAM loses by default!" Sandy growls at Larry, and she says: "You just HAD to try to take command away from me, DIDN'T you?!"

Larry rhetorically asks: "And WATCH as you just SURRENDERED yourself to LET Spongebob win? You WISH!" Sniz sighs, and he says: "Green Monkeys, go ahead and take the night off! The Red Jaguars have an APPOINTMENT with the Elimination Ceremony!" Bubble Bass rushes to Sandy, and Bubble Bass says: "Don't worry about a thing, Sandy! I'm not forgetting the promise that I made to you earlier! If you happen to get eliminated first, I will do what I can to keep Spongebob safe!" Sandy sighs in relief, and she says: "Thank you, I needed to hear that!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Sandy, you shouldn't have HESITATED against Larry! You should KNOW that I wouldn't have felt humiliated if you HAD beaten me in the Steps of Knowledge! I NEVER cared on previous occasions when you were smarter than me, before. You never HAD to hold back!" Sandy sighs, and she says: "I...was so WORRIED that Karma was going to target you, for YOUR role in Bulma's elimination, I guess I internalized YOUR problem, and tried to take care of it myself! I...didn't handle myself well! But Spongebob; you have to promise me that regardless of the outcome of tonight's elimination ceremony, you'll get through the rest of these challenges the best that you can!" Spongebob says: "Don't worry, Sandy. You HAVE my promise!" Sandy says: "Thank you! I'll be all right, ONE way or the other! And I KNOW the same will hold true for you!"

(Confessional) Sandy sighs, and she says: "That's the PROBLEM with being in a team full of ALPHA Wolves! Eventually, it gets to the point where every single member of your pack, wants to be the ONLY Alpha Wolf within it! At least, Spongebob didn't end up being demeaned to either Larry OR me, so at least I have a moral victory on my hands!" / Larry exclaims: "Wow! I KNEW Sandy was determined to NOT let Spongebob be humiliated, but I didn't think she would be THAT determined! She COMPLETELY threw away her OWN chance at winning, just so I WOULDN'T show up Spongebob! Although, it remains to be seen if her sacrifice will be WORTH it! After all, she's STILL leaving Spongebob at the potential mercy of nine other contestants! And there is now NOTHING she can do, to stop anything that might come Spongebob's way!" / Po sighs, and he says: "Tigress, WHY did you have to influence the ENTIRE Red Jaguar's team to be like THIS?! I mean, THIS is what happens when OTHERS try to emulate you! It does NOT end well!" / Dudley says: "The damage caused by Larry and Sandy was NOTHING short of AMAZING, in a destructive sort of way! Even so, I can't allow their animosity to run rampant on this team any longer! I HAVE to vote them OFF!" / Chameleon shudders and he says: "To think, I used to do villainous plots like THAT! It's REALLY ugly when you take a long, hard look at it! Regardless of who deserves the most blame, they both played a part in damaging our team's reputation, so they both HAVE to go!" / Buhdeuce sighs, and he says: "I didn't want to beat Sandy and Larry, NOT like this! They deserved a better END than this! But unless we vote them off now, we might not get another shot to do this! Sorry, Sandy and Larry; but the only contestants you have to blame for YOUR elimination, are YOURSELVES!" (End Confessional) The Red Jaguars are at the Elimination Ceremony! Sniz says: "It's REALLY disappointing that it's had to come to this! You started out as 11, highly skilled athletes, and you will soon be down to a paltry four contestants! You know the drill; BUT, Larry and Sandy, you WILL have four penalty votes tacked onto your tally! You would BOTH need every other member of your team to NOT vote you off, to stay here! And BUHDEUCE still has his Immunity Pendant! With that being said, VOTE!" And the Red Jaguars all make their voting choices quickly! Sniz says: "Voting over, so it's time--."

Buhdeuce says: "I'm not leaving ANYTHING to chance! I'm PLAYING my Immunity Pendant on myself!" And Buhdeuce slaps it down! And Sandy says: "Oh, MAN!!!!" Sniz says: "The Immunity Pendant is real. That means all votes cast for Buhdeuce will NOT count! Now, it's time to reveal who is safe! Obviously, Buhdeuce! Po! Dudley!" It gets down to Sandy, Larry, and Chameleon, who are the only contestants left! Sniz says: "One final Chocolate Pendant of Life left, and it goes to, CHAMELEON!!!!" Larry stares in disbelieving shock, and he says: "I've been ELIMINATED, by a DUCK?!!!" Buhdeuce says: "A Breadwinner duck!" Sandy shakes her head, and she says: "If we hadn't been so FOCUSED on destroying each other, we would STILL have a CHANCE against that guy!" Po shakes his head, and he says: "I WARNED you about competing in a challenge where NOBODY wins! I'm just sad that it took YOUR eliminations for you to learn it!" Dudley says: "If it's any consolation, the elimination was strategic, and NOT a personal agenda!" Larry says: "A rather SMALL consolation, as it doesn't keep US from having to leave!" Chameleon says: "Even so, I have a feeling that you WILL be missed!" Sandy and Larry put on helmets, and strap themselves into the Mine Cart of Shame. Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" And Sandy and Larry rocket down the rail-ways, and through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Sniz says: "And than, there were ten! One former champ, and nine other potential legends are still standing at this critical point in the game! One Double Elimination remains! We're off next time for a Performance Review, but be sure to tune in, for the next regular episode, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where it is ALWAYS the right time, to enjoy a good legend!" /

Stinger: Sandy and Larry exit out of a Mine Portal, and find themselves on a Hawaiian Beach! Sandy looks around, and she says: "That's weird! Given our recent spat, I thought the portal would take us somewhere that was a lot more VIOLENT!" Larry says: "I don't really care WHERE we have wound up, just so long as we're no longer in a competition that pitted the BOTH of us against each other!" A familiar voice says: "Well, long time, no see!" Sandy and Larry both say: "SUPER CHUM?!!!" Super Chum's ship pulls up, and he says: "You know it!" Super Chum weighs anchor, and he slowly descends to shore! Super Chum says: "It's a good thing you BOTH got here! I've got a TON of un-recycled plastic stuff and junk that I collected from the garbage patches in this ocean, and it would be a GREAT help to me if you would help me sort out the piles of recycling, and where they need to go to!" Larry asks: "Do we have to?" Sandy sighs, and she says: "I think we just better do it. After all, it's better that we PAY for our karmic debt to each other NOW, instead of later!" Larry says: "One thing you can say about Karma, it SURE is the Great Equalizer!" / Episode Notes: Featured Songs in this episode include Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit", and The Police's "Message In a Bottle". Sandy and Larry both wind up eliminated via Penalty Votes in this episode, which makes Bubble Bass the LAST former champ still in the game! Eliminated Contestants: 46. Kowalski. 45. Private. 44. Kaput. 43. Johnny Krill. 42. Haggis McHaggis. 41. Monster Krumholtz. 40. Aang. 39. Verminious J. Snaptrap. 38. Darwin. 37. Heffer Wolfe. 36. Judy Funny. 35. Sway-Sway. 34. Invader Zim. 33.

Chameleon, Red Jaguars. Bubble Bass, Green Monkeys. Yakkity Yak, Green Monkeys. (Future Adult) Rube Goldfish, Green Monkeys. /

Personal Note: It's one thing to SAY that you're going to play a nice, honorable game. It's quite another to actually stick BY it, especially when there's up to $44.44 Million on the line! The personalities of Sandy and Larry, simply ended up clashing together! Larry wanted to THOROUGHLY beat Spongebob in the competition, while Sandy WASN'T going to let him do it! And when push came to shove, they both ended up brawling against each other, pushing their brawl to the BREAKING point! Unfortunately, this resulted in a case of a "Surprisingly Realistic Outcome", as Sniz gave them BOTH Penalty Votes for breaking HALF of Olmec's Temple and Challenge Arena, and allowing Buhdeuce a rather easy, if unsatisfactory win against them. Now we are down to ten contestants, and ONE final team challenge to go, after another Performance Review! I hope you enjoyed reading this episode, as much as I did reading it! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

MAN! I've got to start writing shorter episodes, this re-run needs to be broken up into two parts, to! I hope you enjoy it, anyways! / Instead of the normal show open, a tropical jungle setting is shown, and the words: "Total Cartoon Legends: Performance Review" appear in solid gold, and clips from the previous six episodes are shown! / Wally says: "A lot can change in 20 years, but one thing that will NEVER change, is the love that I feel for Rube! And I don't want to jeopardize that future for anything!" / Stimpy asks: "Speaking of teaming up, don't you think it's high time to get into an alliance with me, Marlene, Wally, and Future Rube in order to vote the IRRITANT off?!" Marlene whispers to Spongebob, and she says: "And by 'Irritant', he MEANS Treeflower!" / Spongebob breathes a deep sigh, and he says: "Only IF Treeflower does anything bad to me, and ONLY than; than I WILL vote with Stimpy, Marlene, Wally, and Future Rube." / Treeflower gets MAD, and she SCREAMS: "I WAS BEING RUDE TO YOU!!!!" Keswick groans, and he sarcastically says: "GEE, that was a REALLY smart thing to say just now. And you WONDER why everyone else HATES you!" / Keswick mocks Treeflower, and he says: "Oh, Keswick; I'm so SMART and PRETTY! Everyone else is so UGLY and STUPID!! EVERYONE ought to listen to me and respect me, because I USED to be a C.I.T. at a REAL summer camp!" Keswick resumes his normal voice, and he says: "Does SHE even LISTEN to herself when she TALKS?!!! Someone PLEASE remind me to NEVER work with such a stuck-up snob EVER AGAIN!!" / Keswick says: "Hey! If she IS going to TRY to eliminate me anyways, I hardly think it matters WHAT I say! I just want to let HER know, SHE'S eliminating the ONLY contestant BESIDES Norbert who was EVER willing to TOLERATE her!" Stimpy says: "OOH, BURN!!!!" / Treeflower's demeanor changes, and dead-pan, she says: "Oh, look. It's Daggett; the Anti-Norbert. How YOU'VE managed to last THIS long is BEYOND me!" / Treeflower sputters, and she says: "ME?! APOLOGIZE?! As IF! What would I HAVE to apologize for?!" Pearl says: "Do you want the LONG list, or the SHORT version? And SPOILER alert; even the SHORT version goes on for 15 minutes!" /

Marlene incredulously asks: "Are you SERIOUSLY trying to get ME to help you?! Besides, I would HONESTLY rather have DAGGETT win than YOU!!!!" Treeflower YELLS: "Are you CRAZY?!!!" Marlene winces, and she says: "And in CASE you were WONDERING, WHICH I highly doubt; your SCREAM is just ONE of the many reasons WHY!" / Treeflower groans, and she screams: "I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!" And her voice echoes off the walls: "IDIOT! Idiot! Idiot..." Keswick pops his head in, and he says: "But I think you DO mean well!" Treeflower says: "Not now, I'm having a moment." Keswick says: "Got you!" / Bulma says: "It's about time SOMEONE realized who the MOST valuable member on this TEAM is! I mean, SERIOUSLY people!" / Treeflower sighs, and she says: "I TRIED playing it Tigress' way; it DOESN'T work, at ALL! At least THIS way, I get a little bit of respect back!" Spongebob's eyes well up, and he says: "You DO care!" / Treeflower sighs, and says: "I KNOW this is the right thing to do; doesn't make it FEEL any less AWFUL having to wait for the OTHER shoe to fall!" / Gerald nervously asks: "WHY isn't Treeflower freaking OUT?!!!" Buhdeuce rhetorically answers: "Maybe her INTENTION of LETTING Spongebob answer every question was GENUINE?!" Gerald says: "She's GOT to FREAK out! She ALWAYS freaks out!" Buhdeuce says: "That's STUPID!" Gerald says: "I'll PROVE it!" Buhdeuce says: "Oh, you don't HAVE to prove it; I believe you're being STUPID!" / Gerald scoffs, and he says: "No BEAVER is going to make ME look like a fool!" Daggett says: "Of course not! You're DOING a pretty good job of that, yourself!" / Gerald groans, and he nervously says: "Oh, that's it MAN! Game over, man! GAME OVER!" / Future Rube says: "Regardless of what happens, I feel like Wally is ALREADY a winner in MY books! He is AMAZING to me!" / Keswick asks: "You're REALLY willing to give me a second chance?!" Spongebob says: "I believe EVERYONE deserves a second chance, as long as they EARN it, first!" / Taotie asks: "A surprise? I don't like the SOUND of that!" / Yakety asks: "Has everyone REALLY been spelling my NAME wrong this WHOLE time?!" Johnny Krill is with him, and he sighs, and says: "Well, yes." Yakety yells: "FIX IT!!!!" Johnny groans: "FINE...Yakkity!" Yakkity says: "That's BETTER!" /

Pearl reaches into her purse, and she says: "I've got some bobby pins I can fire at DAGGETT! And believe me, if you STEP on a fire urchin, you're GONNA have a bad time!" / Daggett scoffs, and says: "Figures! As soon as I feel the SLIGHTEST bit GOOD about my own intelligence and confidence, some SPOOTY thing has to come around and kick me DOWN a peg! I mean, if somebody WAS going to have to do a 'NASTY' on my foot in order to save me, that's SOMETHING I should be WARNED about, TEN YEARS IN ADVANCE; MINIMUM!" / Daggett says: "At least MY show actually LASTED for five seasons; which is THREE more than YOURS did!" Fee sarcastically says: "Oh, ow. I'm SO hurt! By the way, IF you die; can I have your stuff?" Harvey says: "Fee, that's BAD!!!!" Fee says: "Oh, RIGHT! WHEN you die!" Harvey says: "FEE, that's even WORSE!!!!" / Daggett says: "If you flunk THIS one, Fee; you are SO going to have to repeat a grade!" Fee says: "I'm NOT being graded!" Yakkity says: "Except for a railroad GRADE!!!!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! / Fee says: "The one thing I would LIKE to know, is when am I EVER going to need to know THAT history in REAL life?!" / Fee says: "Ix-nay on the onspiracy-cay! Johnny is OBVIOUSLY going to team up with Bulma and HELP her dig MORE than me! Get out your RULE book, and RULE check already!" / Harvey face-palms himself, and yells: "Fee, we are STRUGGLING TOGETHER!!!!" / Fee THINKS about it, and she asks: "What's the AMENDMENT that prevents me from incriminating myself in a trial AGAIN?!" / Harvey gulps nervously, and he gets an Anime sweat drop, and he says: "Boy, did I EVER pick the wrong time to put MY foot down! I did NOT think that plan through WHATSOEVER!" / Bulma turns to Bubble Bass, and she asks: "So, Bubble Bass; now that you're on OUR team, how does it feel to FINALLY be able to have conversations WORTH talking about?!" Daggett yells: "What's THAT supposed to MEAN?!" Bulma mockingly says: "What's that supposed to mean?" Than Bulma SERIOUSLY says: "SERIOUSLY, that's what you SOUND like! Do you even LISTEN to yourself when you TALK?!" / Pearl says: "Bubble Bass and I could NEVER betray each other! It's kind of a common courtesy for family members to NOT betray each other!"

/ Bulma says: "I will do the leading, if you don't mind! I WAS voted most LIKELY to lead at my high school graduation class WHEN I turned 14!" Daggett asks: "Leading WHAT?! A group of people TRYING to be most annoying?! Because I THINK you've already won BRONZE, Silver, AND Gold in doing THAT!" Yakkity asks: "Who WON the gold?!" / Bulma says: "You know, I WAS considering making Daggett PROVE himself in this competition! But NOPE!!!! He just HAD to open up his mouth! Bye-bye Daggett; HELLO Bubble Bass! At least HE knows knowledge when he SEES it!" / Yakkity asks: "WHAT?! 'Cryptic'? Is THAT what he's calling it now?" / Bulma opens up a bag of popcorn, and she says: "I am SO going to ENJOY this!" / Sandy says: "Showing up and potentially HUMILIATING Spongebob during a Steps of Knowledge Challenge? HARD PASS!!!!" / Daggett says: "Come ON; get the next one RIGHT already!" Taotie says: "Don't boss ME around; you're not the BOSS of me!" Daggett ruefully says: "Of COURSE I'm not; because Bulma is already doing that FOR you!" Taotie says: "In your DREAMS; you FREAKY little SHREW!" Daggett screams: "THAT DOES IT!!!!" And he engages Taotie in a "Big Ball of Violence!" Bulma laughs with glee, and she says: "I haven't had THIS much fun since I watched Barack Obama first take office on January 20, 2009!" / Taotie turns to Daggett, and Taotie angrily screams: "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!" Daggett sputters, and he replies: "MY FAULT?!" Bulma says: "Well, DUH; you idiotic, moronic, stupid, imbecilic, chuckle-headed DOPE! I TOLD you that you would BLOW that challenge for us! Now, how are we SUPPOSED to win two Pendants NOW?" Daggett says: "How about from your BIG, FAT, MOUTH?!!!" / Johnny says: "Well, folks; it seems as though we're experiencing some technical difficul--." (BOOM!!!!) / Yakkity says: "Even so; Bulma has ALWAYS been nice to me! I'm not SURE if I could just turn on her, like that!" Bubble Bass says: "Use your head! She's ONLY looking out for ONE person; and THAT'S herself! If she HAD to make a choice between YOU and herself to get to the Goddess Slot, she will ALWAYS pick herself first! And you can bet your button-up FUR on that!" / Bubble Bass says: "Thank you, Yakkity! I always KNEW you were one of the GOOD guys!" / Bulma scoffs, and she says: "I WOULD be actually WORRIED about being ELIMINATED, if I THOUGHT anyone had an ACTUAL chance of doing it! But since I WILL inevitably FIND the Immunity Pendant FIRST; that chance IMMEDIATELY drops to ZERO!" /

Bulma scoffs, and she says: "I've already lost ONCE! If I'm going to LOSE again; it's NOT going to be against a DUMB-BUTT like you!" / Buhdeuce says: "You know, I WAS going to go EASY on her on the Steps of Knowledge! But NOPE!! She HAD to use the 'D' word; so now the metaphorical kid gloves are OFF!!!!" / Taotie defiantly says: "NO!!!!" Bulma ANGRILY breaks her lip-stick in two, and she angrily says: "Like; WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!!" Taotie says: "Oh, I'm SORRY! Was THAT too complicated for you? I'll TRY dumbing it down to YOUR level! DUH!!!!" / Bulma screams: "I have WORKED my fingers to the BONE to GET this FAR; and SUCK up the WORST aspects of my PERSONALITY, just so you would be willing to GIVE me the TIME of DAY!!!! After everything I've DONE for this TEAM; I DESERVE to GET THE GODDESS SLOT; and I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!!!" / Bubble Bass leans in, and yells: "WELCOME TO REAL LIFE! You want the Goddess Slot so badly? EARN IT! And SHOW some FREAKING Empathy for once!" / Bulma says: "How DARE you; you INSOLENT PEASANT?! NOBODY talks to ME that way! Nobody! NOBODY!!!!" Her voice echoes: "NOBODY! Nobody! Nobody..." / Bulma groans, winces, and she says: "Today, is SO not going to get any better for me, is it?" Bubble Bass says: "Well, I would SAY that it WOULD; but realistically, probably NOT!" Bulma says: "I'll give you points for honesty!" / Bulma nervously says: "Okay! There's NO pressure, and NO obligation to give ME anything; but will you...PLEASE answer the next question? If you do, you can keep...the Immunity Pendant!" Yakkity says: "Promise, PROMISE?!!!" Bulma exclaims: "If I'm LYING, I hope to be struck by LIGHTNING!!!!" And she ACTUALLY braces herself, as if EXPECTING lightning to hit her REGARDLESS, but NOTHING happens! Bulma says: "SEE?!!!" / Bulma groans, and she says: "It's official! I've hit ROCK bottom!" Yakkity says: "Well, if it's any consolation; when you've hit rock bottom, the only place left to go is UP; but you've got to put down the SHOVEL, first!" Bulma asks: "You...KNOW about that metaphor? Why didn't you EVER tell me?" Yakkity says: "Well, you NEVER asked!" Bulma gasps, and she says: "I'm...practically SPEECHLESS!!!!" /

Keswick gasps, and he says: "Did Bulma ACTUALLY say she was practically SPEECHLESS?! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!" And Handel's "Hallellulah Chorus" plays in the background! A choir sings: "Hallellulah! Hallellulah! Halle-halle-halle, halle-halle-halle, halleluh-lulah! Hallellulah! Hallellulah! Hallellulah..." / Marlene says: "Let's just say the reason that I'm voting off Bulma, is PAYBACK for season three!" / Bubble Bass says: "Wow! I managed to beat the BRAINIAC herself! No EASY task, I might add! From now on, everything is a personal BEST for me!" / Stimpy says: "Bulma...WAS telling the truth!" Keswick says: "Even after ALL the visual evidence, we STILL didn't believe her!" Marlene says: "It...wasn't supposed to end like THIS!" Taotie sadly says: "This...is the WORST villainous thing I have EVER done, and I wasn't even TRYING be EVIL!" Po says: "How could WE have all gotten this...so WRONG?" / Bulma says: "One last thing! I KNOW you all think that I WAS a very bad girl! But you've GOT to admit; I was very, VERY good at it!" / Future Rube gives his father a hug, and he says: "Dad...a wise man once told me; 'You can never know for SURE which decisions you make, will end up being the right ones. But, you will ALWAYS miss 100% of the time on the chances you DON'T take in life'!" Bubble Bass's eyes widen up, and he says: "Me! I'm...going to say that someday, aren't I?" / Taotie says: "I don't think we've EVER been in a scenario, where NINE contestants were tied in the karma department. There's no telling WHO Karma might decide to strike first! And since I don't want to tempt fate, I can only safely say; it COULD be ANY of us!" / Stimpy says: "Oh, GREAT! A challenge about that CRAZY French guy! I'm in trouble!" / Taotie chuckles, and he says: "Hunch is actually a pretty funny word! I wonder who thought of that?" Bubble Bass snarks back and says: "Your MOM!!!!" Yakkity says: "BURN!!!!" / Larry says: "It's getting to the point, where BUHDEUCE is honestly looking like a BETTER partner to take to the Final Three than SANDY is!" / Sandy says: "You know, it's become INCREASINGLY apparent to me, that I could actually LOSE to Buhdeuce!" / Infant Rube suddenly squeals, and he says: "D...d...d...d...DADDY!!!!" Bubble Bass gasps, and he says: "NEPTUNE! He said his FIRST word! And it was ME!!!! And it was CAUGHT on camera! I wonder how BLONDA is going to feel about that?" /

Sandy says: "Well, if it's SO easy to beat Spongebob, why don't YOU do it?! Put your money where your MOUTH is, why don't you?!" / Sandy says: "I've got to say it; it SUCKS to be STUCK in the middle the way I am!" / Sniz says: "Take a look! We put the series' name on EVERYTHING! Merchandising, merchandising! Where the REAL money from the series is made! Total Cartoon the lunch-box, Total Cartoon the breakfast cereal, Total Cartoon the coloring book, Total Cartoon the T-Shirt, Total Cartoon the FLAMETHROWER!!!! The kids really LOVE that one! And last but not least, Total Cartoon the Talking Toy, ME!" / Larry says: "The rock lobster, is TAKING over!" Sandy scowls, and she angrily yells: "NO one double crosses a squirrel from Texas, and walks away without a THRASHING! Po, partner up with ME! Larry, you just BOUGHT yourself a challenge THROW DOWN!" Larry scoffs, and he says: "Fine with me! It makes the challenge more interesting, for ME!!!!" / Sandy says: "Mark my words; if you TRY to beat Spongebob, you're GOING to have a bad time!" Buhdeuce says: "Even I know what THAT'S a reference to!" / Sandy yells: "Why don't YOU just talk to my FISTS?!!!" / Larry stares in disbelieving shock, and he says: "I've been ELIMINATED, by a DUCK?!!!" Buhdeuce says: "A Breadwinner duck!" Sandy shakes her head, and she says: "If we hadn't been so FOCUSED on destroying each other, we would STILL have a CHANCE against that guy!" / The clips finally end, and the words "Total Cartoon Legends: Performance Review", flies right toward the screen to end the show open! / "Performance Review: The Legend Of The Brains!" /

The show opens up proper, focusing on Norbert and Eliza sitting on their host couches, but some of the panel has notably gone MISSING from the bleachers! Norbert says: "Welcome to another Performance Review, for Total Cartoon Legends!" Eliza says: "You might have noticed that some of the panelists who HAVE been with us on the bleachers, are not here anymore." Norbert says: "That's because unfortunately, due to events that took place in the last regular episode; namely, Larry and Sandy engaging in a 'Big Ball of Violence' which destroyed HALF of the challenge arena and the insides of Olmec's Temple; Sniz needed to find a way to get some money in the budget to FIX it all, and install a new steel gate to the entrance of Olmec's Temple, so that no one can wreck it AGAIN! So, Kowalski, Private, Judy, Zim, Otto, and Jenny, sadly had to be let go." Kaput says: "It serves Zim RIGHT, I should say! Acting like he's superior to everyone else! At least I'm actually SOMEWHAT competent and sane!" Gonard says: "That really isn't SAYING much when you're using ZIM as a measuring stick of what NOT to be like!" Dog says: "And I'm surprised to say this, but I think Gonard is RIGHT!" Eliza is stunned, and she says: "Well, THAT'S surprising!" Norbert says: "That's HARDLY the only surprising thing that has happened since the LAST time we've had a Performance Review! Not only have we lost 12 MORE contestants, some of the contestants we lost, were some real HEAVY hitters, that I thought we might NEVER get to interview!" Eliza says: "While some of them were physical threats, most of them were intellectual heavyweights!" Norbert says: "That's why we're naming tonight's Performance Review, The Legend Of The Brains!" Zarbon chuckles and he says: "No wonder Judy, Zim, and Otto aren't here than. They don't have the BRAINS to qualify for BEING here!" Darwin says: "Watch yourself! You BARELY qualified to remain on the panel yourself!" Norbert says: "Speaking of panel, it's time to reveal the list of eliminated contestants, that we'll be adding to the panel tonight!" Eliza says: "Some were Green Monkeys, some were Red Jaguars, some were Orange Iguanas, and some were Purple Parrots. But however you slice it, a good number of them lasted a LOT longer than anyone thought they would!"

Norbert says: "That is correct! And the list begins as follows. Someone who I REALLY wanted to make it all the way this season, TREEFLOWER!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "THAT'S hardly surprising!" Eliza says: "Gerald, Fee, and Harvey Beaks." Norbert says: "A contestant who actually impressed me in ways I NEVER thought possible, Daggett!" Monster says: "How come he's impressed by Daggett, and NOT me?!" Heffer says: "Probably because you were ONLY eliminated in the third episode of this half-season?!" Monster says: "It's a fair cop." Eliza says: "Pearl, and someone who I thought would NEVER be eliminated the way she WAS, Bulma!" Zarbon gasps, and he says: "Bulma was ELIMINATED?! And NOT by me?! Which BRAINIAC accomplished that?!" Norbert says: "We'll find out soon enough! Keswick was eliminated." Kitty says: "Although I must say, it's impressive that he managed to outlast 31 other contestants!" Eliza says: "Taotie was eliminated." Tigress scoffs, and she says: "TOOK him long enough!" Norbert says: "Stimpy was eliminated." Haggis says: "And by an automatic elimination, no less! Otherwise, I don't see any other scenario where he COULD'VE been eliminated!" Eliza says: "And sadly, Sandy and Larry were eliminated as well." Dog shakes his head, and he says: "Poor Spongebob. I can't imagine that such an elimination WON'T upset him!" Norbert says: "Well, in any case, we're going to start with a contestant that I'VE been wanting to talk to for quite a while! And to introduce her, I'll have The Real Breadwinners, play Jefferson Starship's 'Be My Lady' for your listening pleasure!" Sway-Sway says: "All right! You heard him boys, it is TIME to get PAID!!!!" / A montage of Treeflower's best moments from her own show, as well as some from the "Total Cartoon" seasons, play, as romantic flowers surround the scenes. /

Sway-Sway sings: "I just look at you and I'm hypnotized. Like I'm drowning now, drowning in your eyes. You are beautiful, past imagining. And I want you more, more than anything. And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight! All my senses gone, lost in you tonight! And I want your love! Be my lady, be my lady, be my lady tonight! All right! Be my lady! Do I ask too much, do I want too much? Want to know you now, want to feel your touch. You just look at me, feel the fire start! Want to make you burn, want to touch your heart! And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight! All my senses gone, lost in you tonight! And I want your love! Be my lady, be my lady, be my lady, lady; c'mon girl, be my lady tonight! All right! Be my lady! (Instrumental Break) Got a racing heart and my mind's a roar. Never felt like this, never loved before. And it's dangerous, I would willingly burn to ashes now, if you'll stay with me! And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight! All my senses gone, lost in you tonight! And I want your love! Be my lady, you know I love you now! Be my lady! Won't you be my lady; tonight?!" / And the montage ends as Treeflower walks onstage, and Norbert gives her a hug! Gerald walks onstage, and he says: "Hey! Where's MY song?! I was eliminated in the same episode SHE was!" Norbert says: "If it were UP to me, you WOULDN'T be interviewed at ALL! It's partially YOUR fault that Treeflower is here in the FIRST place!" Darwin scoffs, and he says: "Like she could have EVER actually won even WITHOUT the Gerald factor!" Eliza says: "Not now, Darwin! I REALLY had to STRUGGLE to convince Sniz and the executives to keep you ON! Don't give them a reason to RECONSIDER that decision!" Darwin sighs, and he says: "Oh, all right!" Norbert says: "On the one hand, Treeflower! I am GLAD to have you here! But another, I'm sad that you didn't last longer!" Gerald scoffs, and he says: "Well, we all KNOW why she DIDN'T last longer!" Eliza says: "GERALD!" Gerald says: "COME ON! Drop the charade already! We all know that the REAL reason Treeflower is here, is because she's a pretentious, snobbish, vain, conceited, narcissistic DIVA that has EVER graced a competitive show!" Sway-Sway says: "Except for DIVA, don't the OTHER words all mean EXACTLY the EXACT same thing?!" Gerald says: "Irrelevant, because it's STILL all true!" Norbert says: "You're LUCKY that I CAN'T eliminate you a SECOND time!"

Treeflower sighs, and she says: "No, he's right. It's all true!" Gerald says: "See?! I told you she would never--WHAT?!!" Super Chum flies in, and he says: "Stop the PRESSES! Did Treeflower just ADMIT that Gerald was RIGHT?!" Eliza says: "Not now, Super Chum! But I am glad to see you here! We'll be interviewing you a little later, okay?!" Super Chum says: "No problem, I can wait!" And he flies to the backstage area! Norbert says: "Now, why DID you say that Gerald was right, Treeflower?" Treeflower says: "Well, I THOUGHT it would be a good idea to emulate Tigress' game plan strategy!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "Don't know how she ever got it into her head that she could POSSIBLY pull THAT idea off! There's only ONE contestant who can play the TIGRESS way, and it's ME!" Kaput scoffs, and he says: "And even YOU couldn't do that forever! In fact, you were out just ONE episode after you beat ME up as a Temple Guard!" Tigress says: "If it WEREN'T for the fact that I'm currently pregnant, I'd RIP out ALL of your hair right now, and NOT quickly, EITHER!" And Kaput grabs hold of his hair, as if NOT wanting Tigress to even TRY to carry out her threat! Treeflower says: "Look, the fact of the matter is, while it's true that I DID outlast Aang, Snaptrap, Darwin, Zim, Blonda, Dora, SOMEHOW Tigress, Dog, SOMEHOW Zarbon, and Super Chum; I don't think there was EVER an elimination that I was personally proud of, mainly because I never played to have fun! And it kind of stings me a little, to know that a good number of contestants who outlasted me, and some who continue to remain in the competition, had the secret figured out so EASILY! Honestly, I don't think I could've gotten ANY respect back, if I hadn't have given my Immunity Pendant to Spongebob! It was the first completely decent move I made during that season! And for what it's worth, I hope Spongebob wins this half-season of Total Cartoon Legends!" Norbert says: "All I know is, now I have to give some serious THOUGHT as to who I want to win this season, Treeflower! Thank you for interviewing us!" Gerald says: "Wow! I...thought you were going to interview BOTH of us?" Eliza says: "Um, it's ONLY a half-hour show!" Norbert says: "And besides; what could YOU do if we DON'T interview you?" Gerald is ACTUALLY stumped, and he says: "I don't KNOW?!" (SPLAT!!!!) And green slime rains down on him, as the "You Can't Do That On Television" theme plays!

Eliza says: "And thank you, for revealing TODAY'S game that we're playing!" Norbert says: "This time, we're playing TRUTH, or SLIME!!!!" An Image of the Statue of Justice is shown, until it gets COVERED with green slime! Treeflower and Gerald take their seats, and Gerald cleans himself up, and he says: "Man! The SCHNOZBERRIES really DO taste like SCHNOZBERRIES!" Eliza says: "As Gerald has demonstrated, anytime someone tells a lie, OR; whenever WE need a good laugh after someone says; I.D.K., the slime will come down!" Norbert says: "In any case, it's time to bring out our next set of contestants!" Eliza says: "She was a girl, he was a boy. Can I make it ANYMORE obvious?" Kaput scoffs, and sarcastically says: "GEE, I DON'T Know!" (SPLAT!!!!) And green slime rains down on Kaput, to! Kaput says: "COME ON!!!! How is THAT even possible?!" Norbert says: "The slime tubes run pretty much EVERYWHERE in this building, so it can even SLIME the panel, if it wants to!" Zarbon shudders, and he says: "I'm so glad I DIDN'T say it! I'm too FOND of MY beauty!" Norbert says: "In any case, they both came from the show of Harvey Beaks! One is a sassy girl with a lot of attitude, the other is a pretty good boy with a little streak of adventure of him; give it up for Fee and Harvey Beaks!" Fee and Harvey walk onstage to thunderous applause! Haggis says: "They're only 12, and they're already THAT popular?! Usually, you have to pay EXTRA for THAT!" Eliza says: "So, it's nice to have you here, Harvey and Fee!" Harvey says: "It feels pretty good to be here, especially now that Fee is FINALLY taking history and reading SERIOUSLY!" Norbert says: "That's right! The last we heard, Sandy wouldn't rescue Fee until she answered a history question. How did THAT go?!" Fee groans, and she says: "Well, it took me FOREVER, but I FINALLY figured out the answer to the question Sandy asked me! Needless to say, I'm actually STARTING to take studying SERIOUSLY now, just so I NEVER have to be STUCK in a scenario like that again!" Eliza says: "Now, we will be interviewing Bulma later, but I want to get your thoughts right now. How do you feel about Bulma Briefs being eliminated?"

Harvey says: "Quite frankly, not a lot! I mean, Bulma really didn't DO much this season, in terms of targeting Fee and me! I don't HAVE a personal vendetta against her the way I did in season three?" Norbert asks: "So, do you HAVE any feelings about Bulma one way or the other?" Harvey says: "You want to know the honest truth? I DON'T KNOW!!!!" And for some reason, a (SPLAT!!!!) happens to Haggis McHaggis! Harvey says: "You IDIOTS!!!! That SLIME wasn't for him, it was for ME!!!!" Cosmo says: "Well, your names BOTH start with an 'H', and there's like, 46 different contestants to keep track of, I can't keep EVERYONE straight!" Wanda says: "ONE would be nice!" Cosmo says: "Oh, don't pretend you don't LOVE it when I make YOU be the smart one!" Wanda says: "Which is ALL the time!" Cosmo says: "Irrelevant!" Eliza groans, and she says: "Remind me, to remind Sniz to FIRE Cosmo, AGAIN!!!! And this time, maybe see if he can STAY fired!" Norbert says: "Well, I'll try, but Cosmo SURE has a lot of DUMB luck in NOT staying fired!" Cosmo says: "And PROUD of it, to!" Eliza says: "In any case, if you don't have any strong feelings about Bulma; is there anything you wish you had done differently during the competition?" Fee says: "Well, for starters, I would've studied BEFORE coming here, so that I wouldn't have been stumped by the questions!" Harvey says: "And I would've been more patient with Fee! Not everyone is as fast as a reader as I am!" Norbert says: "Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Fee says: "It's got to be Marlene! She's the only female left in the competition!" Harvey says: "Either Spongebob or Buhdeuce, depending on which one of them makes it to the Final Three!" Eliza says: "Thank you for your time, you may take your seats!" And Harvey and Fee take a low seat next to Tigress! Tigress says: "Do you two HAVE to sit next to me?!" Fee says: "Why not? You've GOT to get used to children being around YOU sooner or later, since you WILL be having them!" Tigress groans, and she says: "Now I know the TRUE drawbacks of being pregnant!" Norbert says: "Back from cleaning the Pacific Ocean as much as he could, he's a super-hero, and a paragon of virtue and justice, give it up for Super Chum!"

And Super Chum flies on-stage to loud applause! Treeflower says: "It's AMAZING how such a strong superhero, didn't manage to make his show last longer!" Harvey says: "I blame executive meddling!" Eliza says: "So, now that you're here, you have to tell us if there was something you WISH you could've done during the competition?" Super Chum says: "Well, if I had known that Jenny was going to malfunction and say a 'No-no' word, I would've stuck around to stop it! Such language is unacceptable in a world like ours, or any other for that matter!" Norbert says: "Very true! And I hear we have YOU to thank for bringing Sandy and Larry here!" Super Chum says: "It's true! It's the least I could do for them, after they helped me sort all of the recycling I collected!" Eliza says: "One last question; since you're out of the competition, who do you want to win it?" Super Chum says: "Either Spongebob or Po. They're the two most powerful contestants in the competition after me!" Norbert says: "Thank you for answering our questions, please take a seat!" And Super Chum takes a seat at the top! Darwin says: "So, you like heights, TO?!" Super Chum says: "Mostly, I want to be able to see everything AS it happens! That's why I have the best seat in the house!" Gerald says: "Good call!" Eliza says: "We've got to take a short break right now!" Norbert says: "But don't go away! Because we'll be back with some MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / I'll break here, and stop for now. Enough said, for now!

[4EverGreen]

It's time for the second, and final half of the re-run of the episode, "Performance Review: The Legend Of The Brains!" I hope you enjoy reading it, as much as I did writing it! / After the commercials end, the show opens up back on Norbert and Eliza in their host couches. Norbert says: "Welcome back to our Performance Review!" Eliza says: "Now, one of our next guests that we're going to be interviewing, displayed some RATHER impressive intellectual strategies!" Norbert says: "Which is ESPECIALLY impressive, considering that it's my brother DAGGETT that we're talking about!" Eliza: "So, it's to that end, The Real Breadwinners are now going to play the Jefferson Starship hit song, 'Stranger', to introduce him!" Kaput shakes his head, and he says: "SERIOUSLY?!" / A montage of all of Daggett's greatest moments, from his own show, and the "Total Cartoon" seasons, is played, as The Real Breadwinners perform their own version of Jefferson Starship's hit song, "Stranger"! / Sway-Sway sings: "Raindrops falling; summer feels so gloomy. Hear a knock upon my door! Stranger calling, eyes that look like mine! He said, 'You know I've called before!' What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown! Familiar stranger, should I know your name? Did we meet some time ago?! I feel uncertain, shadows whisper to me now! Sudden wind begins to blow! What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown; stranger! Darkened doorways, strangest things can happen! Don't know who you're talking to! Find yourself when lightning strikes you now! You could be looking back at you! What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown! What is veiled now, soon will be shown! Come walk with me through the unknown; stranger! Familiar stranger, should I know your name? Did we meet some time ago?! Are you someone I should know, did we meet some time ago? Did we meet some time ago?!" / And the epic montage and song ends! /

Daggett walks onstage to thunderous applause, as Norbert hugs him! Pearl walks onstage, as she says: "Hey! What about ME?! I was eliminated in the same episode Daggett was!" Gerald scoffs, and he says: "Join the club! I was eliminated in the SAME episode Treeflower was, and I BARELY got Squiddly Diddly!" Norbert says: "Lucky for you, Pearl; I bear no ill will against you, MOSTLY since it WAS his fellow Purple Parrots' fault that HE got eliminated!" Daggett says: "THANK YOU! It's so nice to hear from MY own brother, that he acknowledges the fact that not every SINGLE misfortune that happens to me is MY fault!" Haggis says: "To be fair, I'm not SURE if Norbert EVER said that every single misfortune that happened to you, WAS your fault!" Gonard says: "And I don't think anyone ELSE here, ever said that either!" Eliza says: "In any case, I think we need to talk about the 'Incident' that brought your sudden winning streak to a screeching halt!" Daggett groans, and he says: "Do we HAVE to TALK about that?! It took me FOREVER just to make the SMELL of it go away; let alone, having to LIVE through it and be REMINDED of it!" Zarbon says: "HEY! I LITERALLY got CRUSHED by a whale who weighs like, 8,000 POUNDS, yet you don't hear ME constantly WHINING about it!" Darwin says: "That's NOT even 'Apples and Oranges'!" Zarbon says: "Irrelevant!" Norbert says: "Noted! Can we move on?" Dog says: "I don't know?!" (SPLAT!!!!) And Green Slime falls on him! Daggett yells: "THAT?!!! THAT'S what you decided to try to DUMP on me if I LIE?!!!" Norbert says: "I didn't decide it, Eliza did! She wanted to bring back some old-school humor to this show!" Daggett says: "Well, it's hard to get MORE old-school than, 'You Can't Do That On Television'!" Eliza says: "What can I say? I'm a fan of old-school!" Daggett groans, and he says: "Well, if we MUST talk about the 'Incident', I consider it the most HUMILIATING and DEGRADING experience of MY whole life!" Norbert says: "Come on! WORSE than the time you KEPT getting knocked BACK a week into the past?!" Daggett says: "ESPECIALLY worse than the time I kept getting knocked back a week into the past!" Super Chum says: "SHEESH! And I thought KYLE had problems!" Daggett says: "Don't get me wrong, I am GLAD that Bubble Bass went out of his way to save me; just don't expect me to go anywhere NEAR a beach where Fire Urchins live EVER again!"

Eliza says: "Fair enough! In any case, how do you feel about the fact that Bulma's been eliminated?" Pearl asks: "Can I actually ANSWER this one?" Norbert says: "Of COURSE you can answer this one! We ENCOURAGE it!" Pearl says: "Well, I don't find it too surprising! While Bulma was smart, she didn't HAVE the necessary athletic streak to REALLY prevail in physical challenges the way I did! In fact, the only thing I DO find surprising, is the fact that Bulma managed to make herself STAY a relevant factor in the competition for as LONG as she did!" Daggett says: "You SAID it! And it serves Bulma RIGHT for her role in eliminating me! It didn't even DO much for her, except buy her ONE, lousy more episode!" Norbert says: "In any case, now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Daggett says: "Probably Marlene. She IS the closest to me, aquatic mammal wise!" Pearl says: "I have to go with Spongebob! Now that Sandy and Larry are ALSO out of the competition, he has the best chance for WINNING this season out of the remaining contestants!" Eliza says: "Thank you, you may take your seats!" Pearl WISELY takes a seat on the bottom, so as not to make the bleachers lop-sided, while Daggett takes a seat in the middle, above Tigress! Tigress asks: "Enjoying the VIEW, are we?!" Daggett says: "Well, SOMEBODY has to!" Pearl says: "BURN!!!!" Norbert says: "Now, the next pair of contestants is kind of hard to talk about; mostly because they were BOTH so smart, and we NEVER predicted that they would be here THIS soon!" Eliza says: "I mean, since we didn't PREPARE any questions for them in advance, we REALLY had to work HARD to get questions prepared for them!" Treeflower says: "And when she says 'We', she REALLY means WANDA!" Norbert says: "Semantics, Treeflower!" Eliza says: "Thank you! Moving on, it's time we introduced Bulma, and Keswick!" And Bulma and Keswick walk on-stage, to scattered applause. Keswick says: "Huh! I thought we would get a louder reception than that!" Bulma groans, and she says: "It's probably mostly MY fault! If I hadn't have been SO arrogant in season three, people might ACTUALLY be more willing to cheer for me!" Zarbon sarcastically says: "NO! REALLY, do you THINK?!" Norbert says: "IGNORE HIM!!!!"

Eliza says: "Right! Time for relevant matters! We are here to discuss, just WHY you two got eliminated!" Keswick says: "Well, for STARTERS, I had to start off with the HANDICAP that I was in an ALLIANCE with Treeflower for the BETTER part of this half-season, so that was ALREADY a factor against MY favor!" Treeflower says: "COME ON!!!! Who in the WORLD thought that I was a DETRIMENT to Keswick's ability to get through the game?!" And to her astonishment, everyone ELSE on the stage EXCEPT for Norbert and Bulma, raises their hands! Bulma says: "I had no stake in the outcome, I just enjoyed WATCHING your dumpster fire of an exercise in futility, go up in flames!" Treeflower scoffs, and she says: "At least not ALL of you are total SELL-OUTS!" Sway-Sway scoffs, and he says: "PLEASE!!!! If I WANTED to 'Sell-out', I would've done what the creators of 'Teen Titans Go!' did, and CONSTANTLY scream my favorite source of FOOD into MY personal network's head, just so they would cave in and play only MY show for 15 hours a day!" Monster says: "You have to admit, Breadwinners NEVER did THAT!" Bulma says: "Agreed! And, if I didn't realize the FULL ramifications of what my actions caused on season three before, I do NOW! Your mistakes, especially BIG ones like mine, can REALLY linger with you LONG after you've committed them! But, I never thought they might cause even the only friend I ever genuinely MADE in the competition, to doubt my word! I couldn't BEAR to go through the agonizing process of what happened in season THREE again; so I HAD to willingly make a fool of myself, and vote myself off, so Yakkity would realize I was telling the truth!" Norbert says: "Right! That move REALLY caught everyone off guard!" Bulma says: "Well, I expected there to be contestants who WEREN'T going to believe me at all, but I never expected TEN whole contestants, INCLUDING Yakkity, to vote me off! And...I feel really sorry for any contestants remaining, if they feel guilty for committing THAT action! I mean, I'm not sure if I would've felt the same way, if my position had been switched with someone else." Eliza says: "You didn't have any problem trying to get rid of Aang and Dora!" Bulma says: "That was DIFFERENT! I could CLEARLY tell that even by MY standards, those two contestants would be no good to ANYBODY in the long run! I wasn't so much trying to get rid of them because I enjoyed it, I was merely trying to make the game SAFER for everyone else, INCLUDING myself!"

Zarbon gasps, and he says: "So, Bulma CAN be altruistic! Who knew?!" Daggett says: "I don't know!" (SPLAT!!!!) And green slime falls on Daggett! Kaput says: "Yeah, that one got ME by surprise, to!" Bulma shudders, and she says: "I'm sure glad I learned MY lesson on season three! Hopefully, I hope that I have completely LEARNED from my mistakes once and for all, and that I've TRULY become a better person, who's a little more humble and WISER for the wear!" Keswick says: "And I learned, that if you PLAN on going onto a game show where athletic skills WILL be required, you SHOULD come prepared, and NOT try to learn your skills as you go along!" Norbert says: "Right! One last question. Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Keswick says: "Either Dudley, or Chameleon." Bulma says: "It's got to be Marlene! I think she's the SMARTEST remaining contestant out of all of them!" Eliza says: "Thank you both, you may take your seats!" Keswick sits next to Kitty, and Bulma sits next to Zarbon! Bulma flirts, and says: "Be HONEST, Zarbon! You SO missed having ME around!" Zarbon, dead-pan, says: "I can LITERALLY think of ten OTHER people I'd rather have NEXT to me than you, and they AREN'T members of the Ginyu Force!" Bulma says: "WORTH a shot!" Norbert says: "Now, one of our NEXT contestants is someone that Tigress has been looking FORWARD to seeing!" Tigress says: "I'm pregnant, so you'll have to IMAGINE me doing a victory dance to celebrate the occasion!" Eliza says: "Still a snark knight, the same as ever! And the other contestant, is a fellow feline, who in spite of missing Ren; still did his best to last as long as he could in the competition." Norbert says: "Please give it up for Taotie and Stimpy!" And Taotie and Stimpy walk out to thunderous applause! Taotie says: "They LIKE me! They REALLY like me!" Stimpy says: "Hi, Haggis! How have YOU been feeling?!" Haggis says: "Pretty good! Thanks for asking!" Tigress yells: "Hey, Taotie! What stupid move did YOU pull to get yourself eliminated THIS time?!" Taotie scoffs, and he says: "Oh, wouldn't YOU like to know?!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "Come on! We ALL know I'm just going to get slime on you, so you might as well save FIVE minutes of your life, and just SAY it!" Taotie says: "I'm NOT as predictable as you THINK I am! I am NOT going to say THOSE words!" Tigress asks: "WHAT words?!" Taotie groans, and he says: "I don't KNOW!"

(SPLAT!!!!) And he gets covered with Green Slime! Tigress laughs, and she says: "Ha, ha, ha! I TOLD you he'd FALL for THAT!" Taotie groans as he towels himself off, and he says: "Very funny! Let's all LAUGH at the Warthog!" Stimpy sighs, and he says: "Come on, Tigress! Don't you EVER get tired of being demeaning towards Taotie?" Tigress says: "Tell you what; I'll STOP being demeaning to Taotie, ONCE it stops being funny!" (Confessional) Tigress says: "As in, NEVER!!!!" (End Confessional) Eliza says: "In any case, now that YOU two are here, we have personal witnesses, and an outside look, on the whole Bulma ordeal. Is there anything, in retrospect, that would've made you reconsider voting Bulma Briefs off?" Taotie says: "Well, certainly the fact that even AFTER 11 opportunities to do so, Bulma NEVER voted me off! Probably because I was actually useful AND sane, but that should go without SAYING!" Tigress scoffs, and she says: "YOU?! Useful and SANE?! Don't make ME laugh! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Stimpy says: "Come on! I saw what he did after YOU left! Taotie REALLY composed himself, for the most part! I mean, he really ONLY slipped up when he let Bulma GOAD him into getting angry at Daggett, AND for voting Bulma off!" Taotie groans, and he says: "Oh, you had to bring THOSE two incidents up!" Stimpy says: "Hey! I was just as much of a part in that mistake as YOU were! Besides, the only reason WE even got eliminated, is that it just HAPPENED to be an Automatic Elimination we were faced with! It's not that we were the WORST; we just weren't the BEST!" Zarbon says: "You COULD say the complete ANTITHESIS of being the best!" Gonard says: "IGNORE HIM!" Norbert says: "Noted, moving on!" Stimpy says: "Well, even though she really only had two opportunities against me, she didn't take them; despite the fact that she KNEW I was a former champion! Clearly, she didn't target me just BECAUSE she could! She only targeted contestants, because it was the most pragmatic move she could make, at any given time!" Bulma says: "Well, let's just say I was 'Taught by Experience!' It was CERTAINLY a better plan than being vindictive, just for the sake of being so! If it didn't work ONCE, it certainly wasn't going to work a SECOND time, when MOST contestants already WITNESSED what I was capable of!" Kaput says: "I just want you to know, that if you had kept me ON, you would've AVOIDED most of YOUR team's eliminations, and the Purple Parrots would still BE a team!"

Heffer says: "Sheesh! And I thought that I sometimes had delusions of grandeur!" Sway-Sway says: "Yeah! Spoiler alert, Kaput! If even HEFFER can see through your delusions, you're REALLY not doing that well!" Eliza says: "Taotie, one of the most SURPRISING moves you made this season, is that you pulled a genuine 'Heel-Face Turn', and you became friends with Po!" Tigress, in dissonant serenity, gets up from her seat, walks to where Treeflower is sitting; Tigress whispers something into Treeflower's ear, and Treeflower screams: "Taotie did WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Norbert says: "SHEESH! Why did THAT make you scream?!" Treeflower says: "I was ONLY screaming, because Tigress didn't want to RISK hurting Po's children!" Tigress says: "Exactly. Taotie, I don't know WHAT you could've POSSIBLY been thinking, IF anything; would come to fruition, by PRETENDING to be friends with Po!" Stimpy says: "Taotie didn't DO anything! And that's ME saying that! If you can't trust me, who CAN you trust?!" Tigress, in dissonant serenity, gets up from her seat, walks to where Super Chum is sitting, whispers something into his ear, and Super Chum says: "I don't know?" (SPLAT!!!!) And Green Slime falls on Super Chum! Taotie slow-claps, and he says: "Well-played, Tigress. Well-played." Eliza says: "Last question. Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Taotie says: "I know it's a little biased, but I want Po to win." Stimpy says: "I want Marlene to win! I think now that she's wiser and more humble than she was in season two, she has a better chance to win!" Norbert says: "Thank you both, you may take your seats." Taotie sits on the opposite side that Pearl is sitting, to help balance the weight of the bleachers out, while Stimpy sits next to Haggis! Haggis says: "It's good to have you back, Stimpy!" Stimpy says: "It's good to be back, Haggis!" Eliza says: "Last, but certainly not least; we have two heavy-hitters from Spongebob Squarepants!" Norbert says: "One is a karate-chopping, scientist squirrel from Texas; the other is a REAL rock-hard rock lobster from Bikini Bottom! Give it up for Sandy and Larry!"

Sandy and Larry both make acrobatic flips coming in, and everyone applauds at their agility! Tigress says: "Yeah, I could STILL do that! I just choose NOT to!" Taotie says: "Don't write checks that your mouth CAN'T cash!" Zarbon says: "And I'm surprised that I AGREE with him!" Eliza says: "In any case, I have to wonder about something. After Tigress left, you both seemed pretty FINE with Sandy taking charge, and Larry being second-in-command. Yet near the end of your runs as contestants, you turned against each other. What happened?" Sandy sighs, and she says: "Well, I think the pressure of the competition eventually GOT to us, in different ways! I was SO concerned with trying to keep Spongebob safe, and NOT have him freak out and turn Super Saiyan 2, I was willing to sacrifice my OWN game, just so that Spongebob wouldn't DO that! I NEVER thought that Buhdeuce could actually beat ME and Larry at the same time; otherwise, I would've tried a DIFFERENT strategy!" Larry sighs, and he says: "It's so WEIRD! Earlier this season, I actually PREDICTED that the contestant, we would've thought the LEAST likely to eliminate us, WOULD be the one to eliminate us! It's...still a bit of a shock to me, that it turned out to be BUHDEUCE, who would've been the one to eliminate us! If I HAD lost to anyone, I would've thought that it would've been from Po!" Tigress says: "SEE?! Somebody else GETS it!" Taotie asks: "So what do YOU want, a prize for saying the most INANE thing EVER?!" Tigress says: "I'm not EVEN going to ANSWER that one!" Stimpy says: "Nobody was REALLY expecting you, to!" Norbert says: "In any case, is there anything that either of you wished that you had done differently in the competition?" Sandy says: "It's hard to say. On the one hand, I could fantasize about what would've happened if I had kept either Johnny Krill or Pearl on, instead of somebody else; but for all I know, that could've presented an entirely different set of problems of their own!" Larry says: "And if I had KNOWN that Buhdeuce would've been ABLE to convince Dudley, Chameleon, and Po to help vote AGAINST us, I would've taken at least Bubble Bass WHEN I had the chance!"

Eliza says: "One last question. Now that you're both out of the competition, who do you want to win?" Larry says: "I guess I got to go with Po. He's the strongest challenger LEFT in the competition!" Tigress says: "Go, Po!" Sandy says: "And I got to go with Spongebob! He's a LOT more capable than what SOME contestants think that he is!" Norbert says: "Thank you for your interviews, and thanks to YOU, our loyal viewers at home, for watching us!" Eliza says: "In the next regular episode of Total Cartoon Legends, it will be the FINAL Team Challenge episode of the season, as well as the FINAL Double Elimination!" Norbert says: "So be sure to tune in, as we say good-bye to the teams, and hello to the MERGED portion of this show, on the next episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Sway-Sway says: "All I know for sure, is that I won't miss it!" / Episode Notes: It's revealed in this episode that Kowalski, Private, Judy, Zim, Otto, and Jenny, had to be let go from the panelists list, due to Sniz needing to be able to afford the repairs needed for the Challenge Arena, Olmec's Temple, and installing a steel gate to the start of Olmec's Temple. Featured Songs in this episode: Jefferson Starship's "Be My Lady" and "Stranger", both performed by The Real Breadwinners! / Personal Notes: I think the biggest reason why I write these "Performance Reviews", is to demonstrate the fact, that no two contestants experience, and deal with the fall-out of their actions, good or otherwise, in the same way. Everyone copes with loss, failure, mistakes, and learning from them, in their own unique ways. And being able to learn and grow from any mistakes you make, is what makes you a better person in the long run. In any case, I hope that this episode served as a relaxing breath of fresh air, as we get set on tackling the fate of the final ten contestants, left on "Total Cartoon Legends"! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

It's a long re-run, so I'll just get right to it! / Sniz is standing in front of the NEWLY refurbished Temple, and he says: "Last time, on Total Cartoon Legends, we were down to a DOZEN contestants, vying to win up to $44.44 million in cold, hard cash! Larry, decided that he HAD enough of Sandy NOT keeping the Red Jaguars safe from elimination, and attempted to stage a COUP to take the leadership away from her! BAD idea, Larry! And NOT just for the OBVIOUS reasons! Sandy decided, that she wasn't going to LET Larry humiliate Spongebob in the competition, and a FIGHT broke out! It would've been a LOT more funny, if Sandy and Larry didn't TRASH half of the Challenge Arena, and Olmec's Temple in the process! I had to FIRE six of the panelists, in order to PAY for all the damages, as well as install a new, steel gate, to the entrance of Olmec's Temple! Anyways, because they inflicted all that property damage; Sandy and Larry each received four penalty votes, which ended up costing them a chance at winning $44.44 million dollars, when they BOTH got eliminated at the Elimination Ceremony! Now, we are down to ten contestants, and it's time for the FINAL team challenge, and the FINAL Double Elimination of this half-season! Which two contestants will take a ride together THIS time? Which ancient legend will we unearth and discover within Olmec's Temple? And, will I EVER get tired of FIRING Cosmo for every stupid thing he does?! I highly DOUBT that last one, but for all other questions, stay tuned to find out the answers on today's episode, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where historic stories, can always be found within!" / Instead of the normal show open, it shows the remaining contestants, dressed in the garb of archeologists, and carrying their gear, as they do an excavation of the ancient area of Mesopotamia, as The Real Breadwinners sing THEIR version of The B-52's hit song, "Mesopotamia"! /

Monster sings: "Turn your watch, turn your watch back; about a whole four thousand years. A whole four thousand years. I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat, I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat. Oh come on, that's what I want; we'll meet in Mesopotamia. Oh, oh, oh!" Heffer and Sway-Sway sing: "I ain't no student, (Feel those vibrations) of ancient culture! (I know a neat excavation)! Before I talk, I should read a book! But there's one thing I do know, there's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia!"  Heffer sings: "It was a whole four thousand years ago, they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! It was a whole four thousand years ago, they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa!" Sway-Sway sings: "I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat. I'll meet you by the third Ziggurat. Oh come on, that's what I want; we'll meet in Mesopotamia. Oh, oh, oh!" Heffer and Monster sing: "Now I ain't no student, (Feel those vibrations) of ancient culture! (I know a neat excavation)! Before I talk, I should read a book! (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)! But there's one thing that I do know, (Mesopotamia, that's where I wanna go)! There's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia!" Heffer sings: "It was a whole four thousand years ago they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! It was a whole four thousand years ago, they laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! In Mesopotamia! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! They laid down the law! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa! In Mesopotamia! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haa!" / And the epic song and montage ends! / "The Legend Of The Lost Code of Hammurabi!" / It is night-time, and the scene opens up in the hotel room of Wally and Future Adult Rube Goldfish. They're playing checkers together, but they're CLEARLY not in a competitive mode, and are just playing for fun! Future Rube says: "Wally, we might have been through some tough times in these challenges together, but I feel that having gone through them with you, it's made this experience much better, than I ever thought it could be!" Wally asks: "Don't they have experiences like THIS in your time?!" Future Rube says: "Well...that's something I'm not sure I should say. Besides, it won't be relevant to YOU for another 20 years anyways!" Wally says: "Fair enough!"

Future Rube sighs, and says: "As much as it pains me to say this, I have a feeling that we might be coming up to our LAST team challenge together! I'm not sure what's going to happen to the unity that everyone has established together! All I know is, I simply CAN'T endure the thought, of having to go through a challenge without you." Wally says: "Rube, you're a good man, and a REALLY good contestant! I mean, you have magic, and despite that; you've never used it ONCE while you have been a contestant! I'm not sure a lot of contestants, if they were in YOUR position; would've shown such self-restraint! Even Captain Retro had trouble figuring out when was the BEST time to use his abilities!" Future Rube says: "Well, I'm sure that's probably the reason WHY Captain Retro became a contestant when he did. He needed to figure THAT tricky problem out! And the fact that he didn't KNOW how to be humble, or let other contestants figure out problems on their own initially; is no indication that he wasn't smart, he simply didn't know HOW to be humble until he learned THAT lesson for himself! I mean, this might be a somewhat EXTREME example; but WE'RE learning how to be better, by discovering what is right for US!" Wally says: "You're probably right. But why would you THINK that this would be OUR last team challenge?" Future Rube sighs, and says: "I came back here, to spend time with my dad. And as I've found out, help HIM become the best version of himself. I feel like I've done all I can for my dad, here. Besides, I didn't START this challenge at the beginning, the way YOU did! It wouldn't be RIGHT for me to try to win this!" Wally sighs, and he says: "I guess I can understand that. I mean, you ALSO have to do; what you think is right for you!" Future Rube says: "When I get back to my time, only a few seconds will have passed from the perspective of my dad in the future. I know it won't be the same for you. Are you going to be all right without me?" Wally says: "Rube, the thought of someday being able to get back together with you, will power me through any and ALL of my adventures, until we meet again!" Future Rube sighs in relief, and he says: "Thank you! I certainly needed to hear that!"

(Confessional) Future Rube says: "If there's one thing I've learned from my experience on this show, is that MOST people have something they're really WILLING to fight for! It might be what they personally believe in, or in my case; it's someone I truly love! But more important than finding someone that YOU really love, is making sure that THEY really love you in return! Otherwise; the whole thing really doesn't work! After all, relationships can only TRULY work, if BOTH partner's are equally committed to the endeavor! And from what I've seen Wally would be willing to travel to the known edge of the universe and back, just to be with me! Now THAT; is a REALLY awesome guy!" / Wally says: "Before I met Future Rube, I never really felt like I could truly be the most honest VERSION of myself; if only because I didn't really know WHO the most honest version of myself WAS! But after being together with him all this time, I learned that I don't HAVE to act like a naive fool, the way I did on my own show! I AM capable of being smart, competent, and a very capable monkey capable of handling challenges that are both physical and mental! Even though it will take me 20 years to get back together with him, I know that I'll be able to handle ANY challenge that comes my way in the meantime!" (End Confessional) The sun rises up, and the action focuses on the remaining Red Jaguars, in the hotel lobby room. Po says: "Red Jaguars, we are in a REALLY tricky situation right now!" Dudley says: "No kidding! Not only have we lost our LEADER, we lost our second-in-command, to! We are a team without leadership!" Buhdeuce says: "To be honest, I have conflicting emotions about this whole thing. On the one hand, even though I felt like Sandy and Larry didn't respect ME as a contestant; mostly due to what I HAD to do on MY show, I still wish I had been able to HONESTLY show them what I was capable of!" Chameleon says: "Well, TECHNICALLY; you still CAN show them what you're capable of, they just can't see it in person!"

Buhdeuce says: "Good point!" Dudley says: "Regardless of how we feel, we still need a team leader for this team; even if we're only together for one more episode!" Po says: "Well, a team leader needs certain qualities! A team leader needs to be strong, smart, competent, capable, and have a high, moral character! I think under the circumstances, I think I'm the best candidate to be the new team leader!" Chameleon says: "I certainly can't argue with that! I wouldn't know HOW to!" Buhdeuce says: "And if YOU'RE the team leader, does that mean that you're going to listen to, and respect ALL of our opinions equally?!" Po says: "Of course! That's what being a GOOD leader is all about! Even if you don't AGREE with someone else's opinions; you should at LEAST listen to them! And if they are well-REASONED opinions based on FACTS, you should DEFINITELY respect them!" Buhdeuce says: "That's all the convincing that I need!" Dudley says: "And Po is DEFINITELY our best bet to help us through this last team challenge! So, congratulations Po! Our fate lies in your hands!" (Confessional) Dudley says: "The amazing thing about the TUFF agency, is that even though our Chief is only a cockroach, he's still a really tough, strong individual! There's practically NOTHING you can throw at him, that will slow him down! And he really let's everyone play to their own strengths! I think that's the reason why I'm able to work so well together with the rest of TUFF! It took me a while to catch up with everyone else, but I finally feel like I've mastered my OWN strengths, and can now use them when the right opportunities arise for me!" / Buhdeuce says: "When I started this season, I honestly never thought I could COME this far on my own! I always thought that I would need Sway-Sway to help me get through the TOUGH challenges! But after I beat Tigress, the possibilities of what I could do, really opened up for me! And now I've become a capable contestant in my own right! Don't get me wrong; I want to WORK with Sway-Sway for as long as I can! But at least, I now know that I can handle problems on my own; if that is what is required of me!" /

Chameleon says: "Before Dudley gave me the chance to work with TUFF, I never really HAD a direction, or a sense of purpose! But my experience of working together with Dudley and all his friends, have made me realize that THOSE guys, like and respect me MORE, than Snaptrap and the OTHER recurring villains of Petropolis EVER did! I mean, they NEVER gave ME my own parking space and personalized locker! I'm just saying that little things, can add up to a lot; when they are done with LOVE!" / Po says: "Look, I was NEVER going to come out, and just ASSUME that team leadership would EVER be mine! Tigress TRIED that, and NOBODY ever really respected her for HER decisions! Of course, no one was EVER going to argue with HER strength, but that's BESIDES the point! I wanted to be a team leader, only if everyone else WANTED me to be a team leader! And even if this position doesn't require me to protect the Valley of Peace, I'm still going to do the best job that I can, of keeping my fellow team-mates safe!" (End Confessional) It is breakfast time, and everyone is in the cafeteria, eating breakfast! Yakkity looks to Marlene, and he asks: "Are you worried?" Marlene says: "About being the only female left in the competition? Of COURSE not! This isn't the FIRST time that I've been a party of one! Although, I am a little worried about how Spongebob will fare! I...have a feeling that something might have happened to Sandy and Larry!" Bubble Bass asks: "You sensed it TO?! I'm glad I wasn't the only one! I mean, this is probably going to be our LAST team challenge together! And going into the Merge, we'll need to be at the best condition we can possibly be in; in order for ANY of us to have the best chance at winning this game!" Future Rube says: "I just want to let you know something right now, Dad." Bubble Bass asks: "What's that?" Future Rube says: "Regardless of the outcome today, I just want to let you know that coming back in time, to spend more time with you; was an AMAZING experience, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!" Bubble Bass says: "Well...it's going to be a little WEIRD, for ME; to know what you will eventually grow UP to be, and not being able to tell you!" Future Rube sighs, and he says: "I...can certainly understand THAT feeling! I had my OWN issues I had to struggle with! But, if it's any consolation, I think we BOTH helped each other figure out the BEST versions of ourselves!" Wally says: "I certainly think so!"

A gong rings, and Sniz's voice comes over the loud-speakers: "Attention Green Monkeys! Due to Penalty Votes, Sandy and Larry were eliminated at the last Elimination Ceremony! And everybody; today WILL be our last team challenge for this half-season, so let's end it on a high note! Please report to the Moat to find out about today's challenge! That is all!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Well, I can't pretend I didn't see THIS coming! I mean, I've been without Sandy BEFORE; but I was totally PREPARED for it in season three! But now; I've got to face it WITHOUT Larry to back me up! I'm in uncharted waters!" Future Rube says: "What are YOU worried about? You're a SPONGE! If anyone is equipped for uncharted waters, it's YOU!" Bubble Bass says: "And you don't need to worry about ANYTHING; Spongebob! I promised Sandy, that as long as I was here; that I would help you out in ANY way I could!" Spongebob's eyes brighten up, and he asks: "Do you REALLY mean that?!" Bubble Bass says: "Of course! It's the LEAST I can do for all the times you SELFLESSLY cooked Krabby Patties for me, even when I WASN'T being the most congenial!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "Thank you, Bubble Bass. I really needed to hear that! You're REALLY the BEST naked fish that a sponge could hope to have for a PRESENT friend!" Bubble Bass says: "Unusual compliment; but since I haven't really gotten many, I'll take what I can get! Thank you, Spongebob!" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "Bravery and honesty, as displayed by Bubble Bass; is a rare and precious gift. It's something that's definitely not seen THAT often during competition's of this nature! I hope someday, such bravery and honesty will be rewarded as a VIRTUE; and that NOBODY will try to hide behind LIES and deceit! Because in the end, lies can only hurt YOURSELF in the long run; and that's the TRUTH!" /

Spongebob says: "It always amazes me, how each of my season experiences in this show have been SO different from each other! That being said, I really feel that this season; I have NEVER been more competent than I am now! And...I learned that I am capable of being strong, of being smart; and also, that I've made mistakes. But, mistakes don't DEFINE who you are! It's the ability to LEARN from them, that TRULY makes all the difference in the world! Bubble Bass has DEFINITELY shown me, what can happen WHEN you learn from your mistakes, and make an honest effort to BECOME the best version of yourself! And, if I'm not the best version of myself YET; I feel like I definitely soon WILL be! Bubble Bass has SHOWN me what is possible! Now, it's my duty to live up to HIS example, the best way that I personally can!" (End Confessional) The contestants suit up into their team colors, and head for the Moat! Sniz says: "Welcome contestants, to the challenge most of you have been waiting for! You've beaten 36 other contestants so far, but those have all been team challenges! After today, you will all be on your own! And after eliminating two more contestants today, each contestant will have seven other contestants to compete against! This game is not over yet! It is still ANYONE'S game to win or lose! And to help us find out what kind of game we're going to play today; we'll be going to Olmec, who will tell us about today's legend!" Olmec says: "Today's Legend, is The Legend Of The Lost Code of Hammurabi!" Johnny Krill says: "THAT...is a PRETTY old legend!" General Barracuda chuckles, and he says: "It's even OLDER than Haggis McHaggis!"

And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! Sniz says: "Hyperbole jokes about OLD people besides, it's time to reveal how you'll be getting across the Moat! In ancient Sumerian times, back in the old civilizations of Ur, Assyria, and Babylon; the way to travel across water, was by building a make-shift boat raft; out of bundled thrush reeds! However, seeing that only MARLENE has the skills to actually MAKE such a boat raft; we decided to MERCIFULLY cut out THAT part of the challenge, so that you only have to row the boat raft across the moat! Each team will row across in groups of two! And since EVERYONE will have to participate in this challenge, that actually GIVES the Red Jaguars an advantage; since they only have TWO groups to get across, instead of three! Oh, and one more thing! This challenge will be ANOTHER point accumulation challenge! The two contestants with the LOWEST total scores, unless they have an Immunity Pendant; than regardless of team standings, those two contestants WILL be automatically eliminated! So, no Elimination Ceremony! Do not pass go! Do not pass go, do not get the chance to collect up to $44.44 million dollars!" Marlene says: "Another automatic elimination!" Yakkity asks: "What are we going to do?" Wally turns to Future Rube, and Wally says: "Rube, we're in this together. For better, or worse. And if we lose, at least we'll lose together." Future Rube says: "I can live with that." Bubble Bass says: "Well, I was hoping to team up with my son; but I guess I'll have to team up with Spongebob!" Yakkity says: "Which means I get to team up with 'Funny Otter', herself!" Marlene asks: "Funny Otter?!" Yakkity says: "If they ever remake 'Funny Girl', and they cast it with YOU as the lead star, that should TOTALLY be the name of YOUR movie!" Marlene says: "I'm going to have to remember that!" Dudley says: "I'm teaming up with Chameleon!" Po says: "So by default, that means that I'm with Buhdeuce!" Sniz says: "Okay! Everybody has a partner! The first group to get across will receive 30 points, the second group to get across will receive 25 points, and so on to the last group to get across, will receive only 10 points. And to help EVERY group cross, we'll be playing Fleetwood Mac's hit song, 'Hold Me'!" Wally says: "Now THERE'S a song, I don't mind listening to!" Sniz says: "Everyone get into positions! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

While every other group tries to go at their fastest to get to the other side of the Moat first, Wally and Future Rube seem more content with enjoying each other's company, and simply enjoying their boat ride. / Fleetwood Mac sings: "Can you understand me? Baby, don't you hand me a line. Although it doesn't matter, you and me got plenty of time! There's nobody in the future, so baby, let me hand you my love! There's no step for you to dance to, so slip your hand inside of my glove! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Me! I don't want no damage, but how'm I gonna manage with you? You hold the percentage, but I'm the fool payin' the dues! I live just around the corner, if you've got a minute to spare! I'll be waitin' for you, if you ever wanna be there! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Me! (Instrumental Break) Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me! Hold on me, hold on me, hold on me!" / And the song fades out as the challenge ends as Wally and Future Rube are the last group to finish crossing! / Sniz says: "Okay! The Moat Challenge is over! So, let's tally up the points! Po and Buhdeuce are first with 30 points, Spongebob and Bubble Bass are second with 25 points, Marlene and Yakkity are third with 20 points, Dudley and Chameleon are fourth with 15 points, and Wally and Future Rube are fifth with 10 points!" Bubble Bass asks: "Are you all right, son? I thought you'd be trying HARDER than this at THIS point of the game!" Future Rube says: "I'm fine, dad! I...guess I just really miss MY own time! And besides, the sooner I get back to MY time, the sooner I can be back together with Wally; even if it isn't SOON from his perspective!" Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "Well, I certainly understand it!" Sniz says: "Well, since the Green Monkeys scored five more points, they will receive a Pendant of Life that they will need for the Temple Run!"

Marlene says: "Awesome! Yakkity, you are a REAL fine rower!" Yakkity says: "I'm also a REAL fine FUR grower, but that's BESIDES the point!" And Johnny Krill plays a rim-shot! Sniz says: "We've got to get everyone dried off! But don't go away, because we'll be right back with MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / After the commercials end, the contestants are beginning to gather at The Steps of Knowledge. Marlene asks: "Yakkity, which side do you think is my BETTER looking side?" Yakkity looks at BOTH her left and her right side, and he says: "I honestly DON'T know! They book look EXACTLY the same to me! Why do you even WANT to know?" Marlene says: "Well, in case I actually WIN; I want to be PHOTOGRAPHED with MY best looking side as much as possible! Maybe I should photograph BOTH sides, and me facing forward, just for the sake of having complete coverage!" Po turns to Buhdeuce, and Po says: "Buhdeuce, in case you were wondering just WHY I loved Tigress enough to marry her, the fact that she DOESN'T obsess over which side is her best side, is just ONE of the many reasons why!" Buhdeuce says: "As far as I'm concerned, the fact that you even FOUND one reason is impressive to ME!" Po says: "Just don't let TIGRESS hear YOU saying that!" Buhdeuce says: "Fair enough!" Bubble Bass turns to Spongebob, and Bubble Bass asks: "Spongebob, you're not worried about TODAY'S challenge, are you?" Spongebob says: "Not really! I mean, it is an AUTOMATIC elimination this time, so I have no control over who is leaving or not! I'm just wondering if YOU'LL be all right if Future Rube has to leave!" Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "Well, I never expected that a future version of MY son would come from the future to be here in the first place. But, in a weird way, I've learned a lot from him. And...I thought that because I had learned so much from him, that he actually KNEW more than me! It...would be kind of awkward for me, if I happen to do better than him NOW, right before the Team Merge! I wish I knew if there was anything I could do or say, to find out if I what I THINK that I WANT to do, is the right thing to do for Rube!" Dudley says: "Well, you can take comfort in the fact that you're HARDLY the only one who's ever wondered about that, at some point in their lives! It took me a LONG time, just to figure out how to act around Kitty!"

Chameleon says: "Kind of the same way it took HER a long time, to figure out how to act around ME!" Wally says: "Well, I think the BIGGEST reason that we've all gotten as FAR as we have, is because we HAVE all taken the time to take all the lessons we've HAD to learn this season, to heart! We've learned from our mistakes! And regardless of what happens, I feel like even IF I have to leave after this challenge, I can leave knowing that I gave it my best effort!" Future Rube says: "And dad, I honestly had NO intentions of trying to win this season! The only reason I came back to this time, is because I felt it was the RIGHT thing to do! Well, THAT; and to ensure a Stable Time Loop!" Bubble Bass says: "Fair enough!" Sniz says: "Okay, contestants! That's enough chatting! It's time to get onto the Steps of Knowledge! I ASSUME everyone wants to stick with the partners that they already have!" Yakkity says: "Well, I'm pretty sure that the saying GOES; if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Bubble Bass asks: "Is 'Ain't' even considered proper ENGLISH anymore?!" Marlene says: "Who CARES?! You UNDERSTAND what he means!" Sniz says: "Precisely! And seeing as I have no takers for switching, we'll stay with the groups we have! Now, we have FIVE groups of two, but only EIGHT contestants can go down the Steps of Knowledge! One group of Green Monkeys will have to sit this challenge out." Future Rube says: "I think it's best if I sit this one out. Since I'm from the future, I don't know if I know any knowledge that Olmec hasn't found out yet!" Spongebob asks: "Rube! Are you SURE about that?!" Future Rube says: "Spongebob, you've come a LONG way since the beginning of this season, but you still NEED to accept the fact that OTHERS have wants and needs of their own. And sometimes, maybe THEIR wants and needs aren't the same as yours! And that's usually completely FINE! As long as you're not hurting anybody or oppressing them, everyone should have the freedom to have their own desires!" Spongebob sighs, and he says: "You're right! That...is one of the issues that I've had trouble dealing with. But...if it IS your decision, I accept it!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "That doesn't necessarily mean that it's easy for me to DO so!" / Bubble Bass says: "The truth is, I think I needed to learn THAT lesson to! I mean, Future Rube IS my son! But that doesn't mean he's exactly like me, and that's perfectly fine! I just want him to be happy with his OWN decisions!" (End Confessional)

Sniz says: "Okay! Well, hopefully Wally and Future Rube will be able to catch up in the refurbished Challenge Arena! As for everyone else, it's time to find out about Hammurabi's Code!" Olmec says: "Around 1810 B.C.E., a man known to historians simply as Hammurabi, was born into the First Babylonian dynasty of the Amorite Tribe! The Babylonians gained prominence, due to the fact, that many of their own, were of the literate class! Although Hammurabi was actually the SIXTH King of the dynasty, he is arguably one of the better known ones! This is due to the fact, that during the reign of Hammurabi, which lasted from about 1792 B.C.E., to 1750 B.C.E., Hammurabi managed to bring nearly the entire region of Mesopotamia, under his rule by 1763 B.C.E.! Unfortunately, not much is known about Hammurabi's early life, due to the fact that he grew up during peaceful times. What is known, is that sometime around 1790 B.C.E., Hammurabi claimed to receive a vision, from the Mesopotamian Sun God Shamash, a code of 282 laws; that would collectively be known as The Code of Hammurabi. While this code, was by no means the first rule of laws ever written; it is significant, as it was the first REAL prototype, for many of the modern laws used by many nations today! While some of the laws are harsh by today's standards, they set a precedent. While previous codes of laws would only compensate the victim of a crime if they lost something; the Code of Hammurabi detailed on 12 Cuneiform Stone tablets, the details of what crimes were against the law, and the punishment a person would receive for committing such a crime! It was also the first code of laws, that a person would always be presumed innocent, unless proven guilty. Because Hammurabi brought unity and stability to ancient Mesopotamia, he eventually began to be viewed as the equivalent of a God within his own life-time. Even after his death at the age of 60, from currently unknown causes, he was still revered as a great conqueror. While most of Hammurabi's Code of Laws was eventually rediscovered in modern day Iran in 1901, with a copy now residing in the Louvre, a tablet of the Code of Hammurabi was lost to the mists of time, until it found it's way to the Temple. Your job, is to retrieve the Cuneiform Stone tablet, of the Code of Hammurabi, and bring it back here!"

Sniz says: "Thanks, Olmec! Where can the Cuneiform Stone tablet, of the Code of Hammurabi be found?" Olmec says: "The lost Cuneiform Stone Tablet, can be found in the Chamber of the Sun!" Sniz says: "All right! You guys know the drill! Each correct answer will net you ten points, and the first group down will receive a Pendant of Life! Olmec, take it away!" Olmec asks: "True or false; as far as historians know, Hammurabi IS his only known name?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene says: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct! And Yakkity and Marlene move down a step! Marlene says: "Wow, Yakkity! You're quite the HUSTLER for a yak!...Uh, THAT came out wrong!" Olmec asks: "What is the estimated birth date for Hammurabi?" Chameleon rings in, and Dudley says: "1810 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Dudley and Chameleon move down a step! Dudley says: "All right! We are ONE step closer to a Temple Run!" Chameleon says: "I am SO excited!" Olmec asks: "What tribe was Hammurabi born into?" Spongebob rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "The Amorite Tribe of the first Babylonian Dynasty!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "We definitely compliment our skills together WELL in THIS challenge!" Spongebob says: "I'm a little CONFUSED by that statement, but I'm pretty sure that it's a GOOD thing!" Olmec asks: "Hammurabi became WHICH numbered King, of the First Babylonian Dynasty?" Buhdeuce rings in, and Po answers: "The SIXTH King!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Buhdeuce and Po move down a step! Marlene says: "Po and Buhdeuce are now AHEAD of us in points! We need to step up our game!" Yakkity says: "No kidding!" Olmec asks: "How long did Hammurabi's reign last?" Yakkity rings in, and Marlene answers: "From 1792 B.C.E., to 1750 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Marlene and Yakkity move down a step! Wally says: "All things considered, I'm not sure who I want to WIN the Steps of Knowledge!" Future Rube says: "I know I'm a little biased, but I REALLY want my DAD to win this challenge!" Wally says: "That's understandable!" Olmec asks: "How many laws, did the Code of Hammurabi have?" Spongebob rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "282 laws on 12 Cuneiform Stone Tablets!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "And to THINK, it won't be long before Spongebob Squarepants has 282 EPISODES, one episode for EACH of those laws!"

Olmec asks: "Which God did Hammurabi claim to receive his code of laws from?" Buhdeuce rings in, and Po answers: "The Mesopotamian Sun God, Shamash!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Po and Buhdeuce move down a step! Wally says: "This is DEFINITELY one of the closer Steps of Knowledge challenge that I've seen in quite a while!" Future Rube says: "Quite understandable! I mean, I figure we MUST be pretty smart if we've made it THIS far!" Olmec asks: "When did Hammurabi bring nearly the entire region of Mesopotamia, under his control?" Chameleon rings in, and Dudley answers: "1763 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" Sniz says: "All right! This question is FOR the Pendant!" Olmec asks: "True or False; The Code of Hammurabi was one of the FIRST code of laws, that presumed a person was innocent until proven guilty?" Buhdeuce rings in and answers: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Po and Buhdeuce move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "The Red Jaguars did it! They receive a Pendant of Life! Everything is tied up 1 to 1! That means we now move to the Challenge Arena to figure out who gets the Final Pendant! But first, let's tally up our scores! Po and Buhdeuce are first with 60 points, Spongebob and Bubble Bass are second with 45 points, Marlene and Yakkity are third with 40 points, Dudley and Chameleon are fourth with 35 points, and Wally and Future Rube are still in fifth with just 10 points! Hopefully, they'll be able to turn their luck around during the Challenge Arena!" Marlene looks to Yakkity, and she asks: "Yakkity, would YOU have ever guessed that Buhdeuce could be THIS good?!" Yakkity says: "Don't ask ME! How would I know?! For all intents and purposes, we're in the same BOAT together!" Marlene says: "Good thing we BOTH know how to SWIM!" (Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "One of the things that was HARDEST about being on my show, was having to hold BACK my true level of intelligence, for the sake of my show! But now that I don't have to WORRY about staying to the standards of JUST my show, I can finally show EVERYONE just how smart and capable I am!" / Po says: "I NEVER thought I would say this, but I think I've finally FOUND another challenger, who might be able to handle my FULL amount of physical prowess, the way Tigress can! It will be interesting to see what Buhdeuce can do, once we HAVE to go head to head against each other!" /

Marlene says: "Buhdeuce DEFINITELY needs to get a better agent, if he was THAT competent and capable of handling himself all ALONG! Just so long as it's not MY agent!" / Yakkity says: "While I've always fashioned myself as my OWN agent, I probably WOULD be able to discover MORE potential offers, if I found an ACTUAL agent of my own!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Okay! It's time to reveal what the plan for the Challenge Arena is! Hammurabi's reign lasted for 42 years! And during his reign, one of the things that the Babylonians were known for, is building Ziggurats! Therefore, your challenge, is that each group is to build up to five Ziggurats, EACH with seven levels of building; to total up to 42 levels, one for each year of Hammurabi's reign! Each level you complete will equal one point! And by the end of this challenge, the group that has the most points, will get to go on a Temple Run! Not only that, they will be competing for a reward! Johnny Krill, tell our challengers what the Reward is THIS time!" Johnny Krill says: "Well, our sponsors WOULDN'T okay a trip into the Middle East, but we've got what is probably the NEXT best thing! A trip into beautiful Death Valley, California! To see the late summer flowers bloom, with an all expenses paid trip to Barstow, California to cap it all off! Barstow, California; where the number one thing MOST people want to do when they get there, is to figure out how to get the HECK out of there!" Marlene says: "They expect ME; to work MY tail off just to visit some city that I've ALREADY seen back in season three of this show?! HARD PASS!!!!" Yakkity says: "Come on! I've never been there! We could at LEAST try to win it!" Marlene sighs, and she says: "Okay! I'll try to win it, but only because YOU'VE never been there!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "The things I do, to endear myself to potential friends!" / Yakkity says: "From Marlene's perspective, it HAS been over two years since she has LAST been there! For all SHE knows, Barstow might be a happening place, now!" (End Confessional)

Future Rube asks: "Wally, have YOU ever built a Ziggurat before?" Wally says: "No! As a matter of fact, I never even HEARD of such a building until this very EPISODE!" Future Rube says: "Well, it doesn't matter! Let's just try to do our best! You're not REALLY worried about this challenge, right?" Wally says: "No, of course not! Besides, as long as I get to have fun with you, that's the most important thing!" (Confessional) Wally says: "I always get a lot of satisfaction out of having as much fun with my friends, when I'm able to be with them. I think THAT'S the reason why a good number of former contestants like me so much! It's because I'm loyal to those who EARN my loyalty, and I try to be as honest as I possibly can, in any and ALL of my endeavors!" / Future Rube says: "Even though I won't be able to SEE this season for 20 years, I still feel that this season is something I can be proud of, because I've learned how to be the BEST version of myself, thanks to Wally and my dad!" (End Confessional) Spongebob turns to Bubble Bass, and Spongebob says: "Bubble Bass, you're not REALLY interested into going to Death Valley, are you?!" Bubble Bass scoffs, and he says: "PLEASE! Death Valley is like the complete ANTITHESIS of the ocean! There's not enough sun-screen in the WORLD that could get me to JUST go there!" Spongebob says: "Me, neither! But we should STILL try to score some points so we don't end up dead last!" Bubble Bass says: "It's STRANGE when you want to do well, but not THAT well!" (Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "Seeing as how this is a challenge where I don't NEED to tackle it at full throttle, it would be a GOOD opportunity to see just how PHYSICAL and capable the OTHER challengers are; if for no other reason except to help Spongebob out!" / Spongebob says: "I heard that LONG ago, Death Valley, and other places that are now desert; were once either temperate forests or inland seas. It really makes one stop and think, just how much can change; when given enough time." (End Confessional)

Po asks: "Buhdeuce, do you think we can win this challenge?" Buhdeuce says: "Po, building is ONE of my specialties! I mean, I HAVE helped Sway-Sway build AND maintain MILES of mine-cart rail tracks around Pondgea! I mean, building Ziggurat's might be a LITTLE different; but it's nothing I can't handle!" Po says: "Good! That's practically HALF of the battle won, right there!" Chameleon says: "It would be nice if WE could win, so I could go to Death Valley and visit some of my relatives!" Dudley says: "It won't be an EASY task! We'd have to finish building at LEAST 26 levels of Ziggurats, just to get ahead of Po and Buhdeuce; and there's no telling how much THEY'LL be able to build! Still, I'll help you win that reward if I possibly can!" Chameleon says: "Thank you, Dudley! You're the best!" Dudley says: "Well, I certainly TRY to be!" (Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "I have to be honest; even I'M amazed at just how competent and capable I've become! Now that I've come this far, I want to see if I can take it all the way! I think it would be AWESOME, if I could go back to Pondgea, as a TRUE legend!" / Dudley says: "Even if something is HARD to do, you should STILL try to make sure that you tackle any task that comes your way, as well as you possibly can! Besides, if I can win Chameleon something nice in the process; it would make my effort SO much more rewarding!" / Chameleon says: "That's one of the many things I LOVE about Dudley! Whatever is thrown his way, he ALWAYS tackles it with as much enthusiasm and energy as he possibly can!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right! Everyone is as ready as they possibly CAN be! And to make everyone feel as energetic as we possibly can, we'll be playing the Katrina and the Waves' hit song, 'Walking On Sunshine!' Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

While most of the other contestants, ESPECIALLY Buhdeuce and Po, work really well at building Ziggurat levels, Wally and Future Rube keep faltering due to not having the first CLUE as to how to put even a MOCK Ziggurat together! / Katrina And The Waves sing: "Ow! Mm, yeah! I used to think maybe you loved me; now, baby, I'm sure! And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door! Now every time I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down! 'Cause I just can't wait till you write me, you're coming around! And I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! And don't it feel good! Hey, all right now! And don't it feel good! Hey, yeah! I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it's true! And I don't want to spend my whole life just a-waiting for you! Now, I don't want you back for the weekend; not back for a day! No, no, no! I said; 'Baby, I just want you back, and I want you to stay'! Oh yeah; now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! And don't it feel good! Hey, all right now! And don't it feel good! Yeah; oh yeah, now! And don't it feel good! (Musical Break) Walking on sunshine! Walking on sunshine! I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that's really real! I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that's really real! I'm on sunshine baby, oh! Oh yeah, I'm on sunshine baby! Oh, I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! I'm walking on sunshine, whoa! And don't it feel good! Hey, all right now! And don't it feel good! I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll say it again now! And don't it feel good! Hey, yeah now! And don't it feel good! Now don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it; and don't it feel good! I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll say it again now! And don't it feel good! Now don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it, don't it; and don't it feel good! Now tell me, tell me, tell me again now; and don't it feel good! Oh yeah, now! And don't it feel good! Oh don't it feel good, don't it feel good! Now, don't it feel good! Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah! And don't it feel good! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah!" / And the song ends as the challenge ends!

Sniz says: "The challenge is over! It's time to reveal how many Ziggurat levels each group managed to build! Spongebob and Bubble Bass built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32 levels; so they now both have 77 points. Marlene and Yakkity built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 37 levels; so they now both have 77 points. Dudley and Chameleon built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 29 levels; so they now both have 64 points. Wally and Future Rube built 1, 2, 4, 6 levels; so they now both have 16 points. Po and Buhdeuce built 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 levels; so they now BOTH have 100 points! Po and Buhdeuce win a Pendant of Life, which means the Red Jaguars are going to the Temple! Wally and Future Rube, I'm very sorry; but since you both only scored 16 points, you will face the Mine Cart of Shame once the Temple Run is completed! For now, it's time to find out which order you will tackle the Temple in!" Po says: "I'll go first!" Sniz says: "Which means Buhdeuce will go second! Now listen closely, as Map's visual information will fill in, as Olmec reveals the way to get through the Temple!" Map says: "I'm on it!" / And Map's visual information fills in, as Olmec explains the Temple layout! / Olmec says: "First, you will pass through the Mummy's Crypt! Pull on the right book, but beware of a Temple Guard! Next, go onto the Ledge! Knock over the Column, and climb up into the Buddha's Temple! Light up the correct statue of Buddha, and climb down into Medusa's Lair! Place the snakes into Medusa's hair, than head into the Arid Desert! Fill up the Cactus with enough water, and head into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the Monkey in the correct order, and head into the Room of Tones! Find the right note within the room, that will allow you to slide down, into the Murky Bog! Break down the Stone Wall, and head into the Chamber of the Sun, where you can find the Lost Cuneiform Stone tablet, of the Code of Hammurabi! Spin the sun display until it shines, than head into the Snake Pit! Manuever your way through the maze, than head into the Room of Panels! Make sure all the panels surrounding the ladder match each other; than, head back through the Pit! Climb through the Cave of Sighs, and back to the Temple Entrance! The choices are yours, and yours alone! Good luck!" Sniz says: "All right! Remember, if you complete the Temple Run in three minutes; you'll get to go on the trip to Death Valley and Barstow, California! Olmec, lower the steel gate!"

Olmec groans as he lowers the steel gate! Sniz says: "Po, get ready, and let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!" / And Po takes off, and Sniz narrates the action as he goes along! / Sniz says: "Po enters the Mummy's Crypt, and a Temple Guard right off the bat! He gives up his pendant, and he's found the right tablet! Onto the ledge where...Po is clapping loudly! He's knocked down the column with his sound vibrations! Very clever! Now he climbs up into Buddha's Temple! He's got to light up the right statue, and he's found it! Down he climbs into Medusa's Lair! Another Temple Guard! Go, Buhdeuce, go! He's making up good time as he goes through the Mummy's Crypt! Across the Ledge! Up into Buddha's Temple, and down into Medusa's Lair! He's got to put the snakes into her hair, and he's done it! Into the Arid Desert! He's got to fill up the cactus with enough water! And he's done it! Into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! It's Johnny Krill as a Temple Guard! Buhdeuce gives up his Pendant! Now Buhdeuce has got the base, he's got the stomach and the head; he's putting them together, and it connects! Into the Room of Tones! He's got to find the right note, and he's done it! Down he slides into the Murky Bog! He's got to break down the Stone Wall, and he's done it! He's in the Chamber of the Sun! He's got the lost Cuneiform Stone Tablet! All the doors are open! Through the Snake Pit, moving pretty fast, there! Now through the Room of Panels, and back through the Pit! He's got to climb through the Cave of Sighs, and Buhdeuce has made it out with 20 seconds to spare! Buhdeuce, you've won the reward to Death Valley, and Barstow, California! With the exception of Wally and Future Rube, you can take anybody!" Buhdeuce says: "Is it all right if I take Chameleon?" Chameleon gasps, and he says: "Dudley, do you mind?" Dudley says: "Of course not! I WANT you to enjoy yourself! We don't have to do EVERYTHING together!" Chameleon says: "Thank you, Dudley!" Sniz says: "Very well, than! Buhdeuce and Chameleon, you two enjoy yourselves! As for Wally and Future Rube, it's time to send them off on the Mine Cart of Shame!"

(Confessional) Wally says: "I'm not upset. All in all, I had a good run." / Future Rube says: "I certainly did a lot better than I ever THOUGHT I could! Not BAD for a first timer!" / Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "It's going to feel a little weird only having the INFANT version of my son around! I mean, I KNOW he's going to BECOME Adult Rube EVENTUALLY; but still...it's the waiting AROUND for 20 years that will be the HARD part!" / Spongebob sighs, and he says: "So now, it's down to just Bubble Bass and me. Up until now, it's been the EASY part of the game! Now, comes the REALLY tricky part; dealing with the MERGED portion of the game!" / Buhdeuce says: "Well, I'm heading into uncharted territories; metaphorically speaking. I've never GOTTEN to the MERGED portion of this game before! It will be a little scary, but also kind of exciting; to see just how FAR my skills will take me!" / Marlene air-fist pumps, and she says: "Yes! I made it to the team merge AGAIN! It might have taken me a while to pick up speed, but now the Final Three is within my sight! And THIS time, I don't plan on tripping up a THIRD time!" / Yakkity says: "I was a little worried when Bulma got eliminated. I thought for SURE I lost my best chance at the team merge! But against all odds, I managed to survive the past few challenges all on my OWN merits! I have a chance to become a TRUE legend! Grandma, your Yakkity is going to make you proud! I mean, I already have by being HER grandson! I mean...she knows what I mean!" / Po says: "This is the first time I've ever made the team merge WITHOUT Tigress! Even though this hasn't been easy for me, I STILL got to persevere for HER sake as well, and try my best to make it as far as I possibly can! Hopefully, I'll also impress Taotie while I'm at it!" / Dudley says: "Well, I've officially made it further than I did in season three! I don't know what's going to happen now, but I know that Chameleon and I will face the remaining challenges together the same as we always have!" / Chameleon says: "Dudley and I have six other contestants to compete against! It will be hard without a team, but we'll do our best to persevere for as long as we can!" (End Confessional) It is night-time! All of the contestants except Wally and Future Rube, have received a chocolate Pendant of Life!

Bubble Bass hugs Wally and Future Rube. Bubble Bass says: "Thank you SO much for coming back to help ME become a better father, son! I appreciate what you've done for me, in more ways than I know how to express!" Future Rube says: "Trust me; with the ways that you'll eventually help ME out in life, this is just a SMALL token of MY appreciation for you!" Bubble Bass says: "Wally, when you eventually see Future Rube again; you make sure to take good care of him, okay?" Wally says: "Absolutely! Admiral Wally, his SMARTNESS, will not let you down!" Wally and Future Rube put their helmets on, and get themselves strapped into the Mine Cart of Shame! Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" And Wally and Future Rube rocket down the mine rails, and through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Sniz says: "And than there were eight! Spongebob, Marlene, Buhdeuce, Po, Dudley, Chameleon, Bubble Bass, and Yakkity Yak! Four Green Monkeys and four Red Jaguars are entering the team merge, but they will all exit as their OWN contestants! The team challenges may be over, but the game is NOT over yet! Stay tuned, and find out who emerges triumphant, in the next exciting challenge, of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where our legends, TRULY stand the test of time!" /

Stinger: Buhdeuce and Chameleon take a look around Barstow, trying to find something interesting, before eventually settling on eating at a Jack In the Box! Chameleon says: "Well, from what I personally saw on season three, Barstow has DEFINITELY been built up a little bit since Marlene has been here; but I personally don't see much in the way of fun!" Buhdeuce says: "I heard that there USED to be a Water Park not too far from here; but the COVID Pandemic pretty much brought an end to THEIR business, such as it was!" Chameleon says: "At least TUFF has figured out a way to survive these trying times! We've become pretty SKILLED at solving mysteries remotely! It's our way of keeping safe, and STILL getting paid!" Than who of ALL characters EXCEPT Gordon Quid should appear, and he says: "And guess who's getting paid to SERVE you?!" Buhdeuce says: "Gordon Quid?! We've REALLY got to STOP meeting like this!" Buhdeuce sighs, and says: "Look! I only have ONE solid joke on this show! Now, it is a STUPID and over-used joke, but I'M going to use it!" Chameleon says: "Of course, if Gordon Quid is now the Manager of THIS restaurant; than I'm pretty sure THAT means--." (CRASH!!!!) And who should break THROUGH a wall of the restaurant, except Wally, and Future Rube?! Gordon Quid yells: "COME ON!!!! One time? OKAY! Two times? FINE!!!! But WHY has this happened to ME a whole THREE times?!" Future Rube says: "Come on! Even I can't predict the future, and I actually COME from there!" Wally says: "Besides, if it's ANY consolation; Admiral Wally, his SMARTNESS, and his friends; will all work together to FIX the broken wall of your restaurant!" Buhdeuce says: "Chameleon, you think your relatives will be willing to help us out?!" Chameleon says: "I have the feeling that they've been waiting for an opportunity as exciting like this for LONGER than YOU'VE been a Breadwinner!" /

Dudley Puppy, Red Jaguars. Chameleon, Red Jaguars. Bubble Bass, Green Monkeys. Yakkity Yak, Green Monkeys. / Personal Notes: Even though I felt like I wrote Wally pretty good during season three, I do feel like I didn't give him that much to do, except for being friends to Marlene and Captain Retro. Not to mention, he didn't really go through that much angst and personal growth until near the end of his time as a contestant. I felt like having Wally develop, and eventually grow into an honest relationship with Future Rube, would not only help Wally become a much more compelling character, it would give them BOTH a reason to get through these challenges together! And the reason I introduced Future Rube, is to help Bubble Bass learn and grow, in order to become a better father! Once I took the character arc's of Wally and Future Rube as far as they could go, it was time for them to move on from the competition, which is why they ended up leaving this time! It will be interesting to see what happens during the merged portion of this competition! I hope you enjoyed reading this episode, as much as I did writing it! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

You know the drill; long re-run, so let's just get right to it! /

Sniz is standing in front of two giant emblems, of the Green Monkeys, and the Red Jaguars! Sniz says: "Previously on Total Cartoon Legends, the two teams that really dominated this season, more than any other, have been the Green Monkeys and the Red Jaguars! Of course, it eventually got to the point; where the only teams left in the competition, were THOSE two teams! In the last challenge, it was another point accumulation challenge; as well as the LAST team challenge for this season! Whether by lack of necessary skills, or a stroke of bad luck; Wally and Future Rube found themselves with the least amount of points at the end of the last challenge! Buhdeuce won the Temple Run and shared the reward with Chameleon, while Wally and Future Rube ended up taking one last Double Elimination ride, in the Mine Cart of Shame. Now, we are down to just eight contestants! Spongebob and Bubble Bass representing Spongebob Squarepants! Dudley and Chameleon representing TUFF Puppy! Buhdeuce representing Breadwinners! Marlene representing The Penguins of Madagascar! Yakkity Yak representing...well, Yakkity Yak! And Po representing Kung Fu Panda: Legends Of Awesomeness! Eight contestants are entering the team merge, but only two of them will make it to the Final Challenge! Find out what happens when the contestants have to depend on their own skills, on today's episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "It's not just a change, it's an EVOLUTION!" / Instead of the normal show open, it shows a montage of how Spongebob, Marlene, Buhdeuce, Po, Dudley, Chameleon, Bubble Bass, and Yakkity Yak have all changed from when they first arrived as contestants, to who they have become now, all set to the tune of David Bowie's "Changes"! /

David Bowie sings: "Oh, yeah! Mm...still don't know what I was waiting for! And my time was running wild, a million dead-end streets and; Every time I thought I'd got it made, it seemed the taste was not so sweet! So I turned myself to face me. But I've never caught a glimpse of how the others must see the faker! I'm much too fast to take that test! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, don't want to be a richer man! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, just gonna have to be a different man! Time may change me, but I can't trace time! Oh, yeah! I watch the ripples change their size, but never leave the stream of warm impermanence and; so the days float through my eyes, but still the days seem the same! And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds, are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they're going through! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, don't tell them to grow up and out of it! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, where's your shame? You've left us up to our necks in it! Time may change me, but you can't trace time! Strange fascination, fascinating me! Ah, changes are taking the pace I'm going through! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, oh, look out you rock 'n rollers! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange! Ch-ch-changes, pretty soon now, you're gonna get older! Time may change me, but I can't trace time! I said that time may change me, but I can't trace time!" (Musical Solo as the montage and song ends) / "The Legend Of The Lost Journal of Charles Darwin!" / It is night time, and the show opens up in a hotel room being shared by Bubble Bass and Yakkity Yak. Bubble Bass walks over to wake Yakkity, and Bubble Bass says: "Okay Yakkity. My shift is over. It's your turn to watch over Infant Rube now." Yakkity yawns, as he takes the ear-plugs out of his ears, and he says: "Okay." Bubble Bass yawns, as he starts climbing into bed, and he says: "It sure is amazing how quickly Infant Rube is getting a little bigger and smarter! It wasn't that long ago when he was so small and helpless!" Yakkity says: "Well, you can rest easy, knowing that as long as you're both here, I'll do my best to keep Infant Rube safe! I mean, I guess I kind of HAVE to, seeing what Infant Rube will eventually grow up to!"

Bubble Bass sighs, and says: "Even though it's still kind of weird, that I got to see what my son grows up to be LONG before I'm supposed to; it still feels WEIRD to know that he's out of the competition! It's going to be a LONG 20 years for ME to wait, to; before I finally see Rube in that same way again, the way that Wally did!" Yakkity says: "Look, I know you're going to miss having the Future Rube around. I'll miss him, to! But if you miss what you're LONGING for, you'll miss out on what you already have! You have a WHOLE 20 years to raise Rube, give or take, before he comes back to this competition! Just...try not to think TOO hard about the logic of that! In any case, you're going to want to use all that available time, to help Future Rube grow up to be the man he's GOING to become! And I'm PRETTY sure you're going to use that time wisely! I mean, why else would Future Rube go out of his way just to come back in time to spend more time with you?! I mean, BESIDES the fact that Future Rube has TECHNICALLY already done it!" Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "You're right, Yakkity! The future isn't going to come any faster, or slower; so I have to enjoy the time I have now! I mean, I'm NOT going to be one of those OBSESSIVE parents; but I will make sure Future Rube has the chance to enjoy everything HE wants to enjoy! It's the least I can do, to show MY appreciation for him coming to help me realize what I TRULY need to do as a parent!" Yakkity says: "Sounds good to me! Anyways, I'll let you go to sleep while I stay by stand-by; in case Infant Rube needs anything. Say good-night to your daddy, Rube!" Infant Rube says: "I...I love you, daddy!" Bubble Bass sighs in contentment, as he says: "I love you, to! It's the LITTLE things that really make this work all worthwhile!"

(Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "The team portion of this competition? That was actually the EASY part! Because we had our fellow team-mates to fall back on! Now, it's just going to be us, versus seven other contestants! And I'm the biggest target out of any of them, seeing as how I'm the only former champ left! But I'm not just going to 'Let' them eliminate me! If they want to PROVE they are more worthy to win this season than me, they'll have to EARN it! I think that's more than fair! After all, if someone CAN prove they are better than me; I'll be able to leave this competition with my head held high! After all, if I've gotten THIS far; it means that I'll ONLY lose to someone who honestly IS better than me! It's just that simple!" / Yakkity says: "To be honest, I never thought that my personality would've EVER allowed me to get this far! I mean, I made an alliance with BULMA of all contestants! Every other contestant who tried THAT in season three, ended up sealing their OWN fates! But somehow, I survived when every other contestant didn't! And...if I can outlast BULMA; I really have a chance to WIN this whole thing! And why not? I've come THIS far, and I didn't come this far, just to quit! So, I'll have to use all the skills I have within my fur and body; if I want to say that I'm a TRUE legend!" (End Confessional) It is early morning, and Po gathers the remaining Red Jaguars together in the Hotel lobby room. Po says: "First off, I'd like to say welcome back, Buhdeuce and Chameleon! Did you enjoy your trip out into the desert?" Chameleon says: "I certainly did! It was so GREAT to see all my relatives again!" Buhdeuce says: "Eh, it was a trip!" Po says: "In any case fellow Red Jaguars, this will probably be our last team meeting together. I just want to say, this competition has been nothing short of being surprising! I mean, together; we've outlasted NUMEROUS contestants that some of us thought that we would HAVE no chance of outlasting! Private, Aang, Darwin, Squidward, Dora, even Tigress, Dog, Zarbon, Jenny, Gerald, Fee, Bulma, Stimpy, Sandy, and Future Rube. Now, it's down to just eight of us. I won't pretend that the three of you won't try your hardest to try to eliminate me. I fully expect that, and I'd expect nothing less. You want to win this competition just as much; or possibly, more than I do! And if that HAPPENS to be the case, I expect NOTHING but your best from you!"

Buhdeuce says: "You don't have to worry about THAT! I ALWAYS give out MY best whenever possible!" Chameleon says: "I probably WON'T use my transformation skills; but I'll still use plenty of my OWN skills for as long as I can!" Dudley says: "And you can expect an honorable challenge from me! When it comes to honor, I am LITERALLY the top dog!" Po says: "Very well, than! Even if we face off against each other in the challenge arena, let's still display the same sense of honor, that we always have!" Everyone puts their hands, or wings together, and they simultaneously say: "Agreed!" (Confessional) Po says: "Even if that team meeting WAS a rather moot point, I still felt like I had to make it; if for no other reason than to let everyone else know, that I fully expect them to target me. After all, why should I expect any different? I know, and I think THEY all know, that I'm the strongest challenger left in the competition! And if any of them WANT a chance at getting to the Final Three, than they'll HAVE to eliminate me before they can get there! I think this might be Buhdeuce's BEST opportunity to show off the TRUE extant of his skills! I want to see just how good he's become, and how good he truly IS!" / Buhdeuce sighs, and he says: "I'm not going to lie. Up until now, I've had it pretty easy being a member of a team! I feel like I've always made sure that I've done good enough job, that other contestants would NOT consider me as a liability, and would vote off someone else! But now that the teams are ending, just being THAT good won't cut it anymore! I'll have to perform at 110% for the remainder of the competition, if I'm going to be WORTHY of being called a TRUE legend! I mean, I think it would be amazing, if I could bring home the gold! And be considered a TRUE Breadwinner, even in Sway-Sway's eyes!" / Chameleon says: "With Dudley's help, we have somehow BOTH made it to the Team Merge again! But now, comes the TOUGH part! How are the two of US going to make it to the Final Three?! It's hard enough just trying to protect myself; let alone, having to think about Dudley! Even so, I've already gotten fifth place LAST time! I feel like I've had my share of winning! So, if one of us has to be eliminated before everything is said and done; I'm okay if it ends up being me. If it gives Dudley a chance of getting to the Final Three, I'm perfectly okay with that!" /

Dudley says: "I obviously can't predict how this final portion of the competition is going to go; I've never GOTTEN this far in the competition before! I'll just have to take each challenge as they come, and do the best that I can! Of course, I'm NEVER going to vote off Chameleon just to get MYSELF further; I could NEVER do that! And that is NOT tempting fate, that's a GENUINE promise!" (End Confessional) It is breakfast time, and everyone is eating breakfast! Spongebob sighs, and says: "It still feels WEIRD to know, that Wally and Future Rube are really gone!" Marlene says: "I wish I could say the same about Wally; but it's HARD to just forgive someone who HELPED vote me off in season THREE!" Dudley says: "Hey! Chameleon and I were BOTH there, remember? He ONLY voted you OFF, because you LIED to Captain Retro about truly LOVING him, and thought you could use his powers to help you get an easy win in season three! I'm not saying Captain Retro was perfect by ANY means, but you didn't have to be THAT harsh to him!" Marlene groans, and she says: "And that move, is PRECISELY why I have REMOVED any and ALL flirtation based strategies OUT of my various sets of plans in THIS endeavor, as well as any other that I make!" Chameleon says: "At least for THAT much!" Than unexpectedly, Sniz personally comes INTO the cafeteria, brings the gong WITH him, and rings it! Sniz says: "Attention contestants! At the last challenge, Wally and Future Rube were automatically eliminated, due to having the least amount of points! Also, here is the IMPORTANT part of this announcement! As of right now, the two teams of the Green Monkeys and Red Jaguars, are NO more! From now on, it's EVERY contestant for themselves!" Yakkity says: "Not for US, Bubble Bass! I won't abandon helping YOU and your child! You can still count on me!" Bubble Bass says: "That's good to know!" Sniz says: "The team colors are no more! From now on, you're ultimately playing for yourself! That being said, the way the challenges will work, WILL change a little! Please head to the Moat to hear more details! That is all! Johnny Krill, this gong is ALL yours!"

Johnny says: "All right! I've been looking FORWARD to spicing up my rim shot a little!" Po sighs, and he says: "Well, I guess this is it; Buhdeuce! If you plan on eliminating me, it's now or never!" Buhdeuce says: "I STILL expect your best, Po! Don't let me win without giving it your all! Tigress would NEVER let you hear the END of it!" Po THINKS about it, and he says: "Thanks for reminding me of that, Buhdeuce! In that case, I'm going to go all out, to!" (Confessional) Po says: "It looks like Tigress DIDN'T rub off on Buhdeuce as much as I thought! He was willing to remind me that I still have a duty to do my best as will! After all, nothing is over until the Fat Lady sings!...Not that I personally KNOW of any! I'm just saying!" / Buhdeuce says: "It wouldn't feel as satisfying to win, unless I'm able to beat someone at their absolute best! I know it won't be easy, but I HAVE to beat Po first! After all, if I can't beat Po; how could I possibly EXPECT to win against anybody else?! Sure, it will be a difficult task; but no season of this show has ever been an easy win for ANYBODY, no matter WHO they might have been!" (End Confessional) The contestants all head for the Moat to find Sniz, but instead find General Barracuda! Bubble Bass says: "Hi, dad! I made it all the way to the Team Merge again!" General Barracuda says: "I would've expected no less from a son of mine! Even so, don't expect ANY of these challenges to be EASY!" Spongebob says: "Don't worry! The LAST thing we expect from YOU, is 'Easy'!" General Barracuda chuckles, and he says: "And I'm proud of that, to! In any case, this next challenge is going to be really FUN, for ME! Because this challenge combines cunning, determination, and intelligence!" Chameleon suspiciously asks: "YOU like intelligence?" General Barracuda says: "You don't know EVERYTHING about me!" Dudley scoffs, and he says: "Obviously!"

General Barracuda says: "Noted! Moving on, the way the Moat will work from now on; is that everyone will be competing to form a group of two, in order to take on the Steps of Knowledge, the Challenge Arena, and the Temple Run! Of course, only the group that wins two Pendants of Life; will get to compete in the Temple Run, and be safe from elimination! Everyone else, will have to vote against each other in an Elimination Ceremony! At least from now on, only ONE of you will be eliminated at a time! So at least, you won't have as MUCH pressure on you to do well; HOPEFULLY!" Yakkity says: "I still don't KNOW General Barracuda as well as YOU guys do; but when he said 'Hopefully' like that, it wasn't a GOOD sign! Am I right about that?" Marlene says: "You catch on fast, Yakkity!" General Barracuda says: "In any case, it's time to hear about today's Legend! Olmec, tell us what it is!" Sniz finally comes up, and says: "Hey! That's MY line! Olmec, tell us what today's legend is!" Olmec says: "Today's legend, is The Legend Of The Lost Journal of Charles Darwin!" General Barracuda asks: "And what was so wrong about ME saying that line?" Sniz says: "Nothing! It's just that you KNOW I'm supposed to say it!" General Barracuda says: "I just wanted to try it out, so SUE me!" Sniz says: "Well, I won't! In any case, for the Moat challenge today; you will re-enact Charles Darwin's voyage to the Galapagos Islands, aboard the Beagle! Of course, since a simple 'Ship' journey would be a little BORING; we've decided to turn it into a meatball cannon fight between all eight of you! Your job, is to fire at the other contestants, without getting hit yourself! If you are hit, you are OUT; and you can't fire anymore meatball cannon shots! You will continue firing until only two of you remain! The last two contestants left in a functional boat will be grouped together, and receive a Pendant of Life! And where you finish, such as 3rd place and 4th place; you two will be grouped together! Oh, and don't worry about what's going to happen to the meatballs! We'll scrape together whatever meat you've fired, clean it up, and use it to make DELICIOUS lasagna later! It's for THAT reason, we'll be playing Weird Al Yankovic's hit song, 'Lasagna', for your listening pleasure during this Moat Challenge!" Po says: "Good! A food song! That should DEFINITELY motivate me!" Sniz says: "Okay, everybody grab a boat and do your best! Go ahead, head out and get some distance from each other! Good! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

While everyone starts off firing as many meatballs as they can at the other contestants, the two contestants that do the BEST jobs, end up being Buhdeuce and Marlene! / Weird Al Yankovic sings: "La-la-la-la-lasagna! You want-a some-a lasagna, magnifico! Or a-maybe spaghetti! Ay, you supper's a-ready now, where you go? Mama mia, bambino! Mama mia bambino, 'samatta you? 'Samatta you? 'Samatta you? You should-a taste my lasagna! Ay, you no like-a lasagna? That's okay, too. How about-a Calzone? Some-a nice minestrone, its good for you. Have-a some marinara! Have-a some marinara; I know-a you like! I know-a you like, I know-a you like! La-lasagna! La-lasagna! La-lasagna! Would you like some-a zucchini? Or-a my homemade linguini, it's hard to beat! Have-a more Fettuccini. Ay, you getting too skinny, you gotta to eat! Ay, mange, mange! (Musical Break) (Gargling occurs, as some contestants lose their ships, and fall into the Moat) Ay, you-a pass the lasagna! A-don't you get any on ya, you sloppy pig! Have-a more ravioli! You will get roly poly, and nice and-a big, like your cousin Luigi! Luigi, Luigi! Capisce paisan? Capisce paisan? Capisce, paisan! La-lasagna! La-lasagna! La-lasagna! La-lasagna! Hey! Hey!" / And the music ends as Buhdeuce and Marlene end up being the LAST contestants left with functioning boats! Sniz says: "And the challenge is over! Marlene and Buhdeuce are the last contestants left with functioning boats, so they will be teamed up together, and they receive a Pendant of Life! Now, here's where everyone else stands! Po and Chameleon will team up together since they placed 8th and 7th, Yakkity and Dudley will team up together since they placed 6th and 5th, and Spongebob and Bubble Bass will team up together since they placed 4th and 3rd!" Marlene says: "Well, this is different and unexpected! Where was THAT hustle back in season three?"

Buhdeuce says: "I hadn't FOUND it back than, so sue me!" Marlene says: "Well, I won't! The important thing is, you have it NOW; when it will come in MOST handy!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "On the hand, I would rather NOT have to face off against somebody who has SUDDENLY discovered that they're really a GREAT contestant! But on the other hand, the LAST time I tried to go up against two 'Easy' goats, they ended up BOTH beating me for the Grand Prize! So, I'm NOT going to say anything about whether this is a bad thing or not! I mean, for all I know, this MIGHT actually work in MY favor!" / Buhdeuce says: "At this point, it's hard to say who would win, if the Final Two came down to being me and Marlene! I'm honestly not sure WHO would win! At least, I would certainly try my best!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Buhdeuce and Marlene are in the lead with a Pendant of Life, but everyone still has a chance to win! We've got to get some of our contestants dried up, but be sure to come back after the commercials, for more Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / After the commercials are over, the contestants head for the Steps of Knowledge! Bubble Bass asks: "I'm actually curious; does Sniz get paid EXTRA to BORE us to death?" Johnny Krill says: "First off, even I know; that it has NEVER been scientifically proven that someone has ever actually been BORED to death! Secondly, you're asking the WRONG prawn! I have no idea what Sniz's thought process is, regarding the Steps of Knowledge!"

Marlene says: "He's probably just doing it to be as faithful as possible to the ACTUAL Legends Of The Hidden Temple! Just deal with it, and muscle through it!" Bubble Bass says: "It's times like this where I WISH my Gluteus Maximus WASN'T the strongest muscle in my body BESIDES my brain! Of course, it DOES help me be surprisingly quick when I NEED to be; so it technically DOES come in quite handy!" (Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "It seems as if the universe, as if trying to make up for the fact that I'm nowhere NEAR as strong as my father, General Barracuda; the universe made me a LOT smarter than him, and helped me actually BE faster than him in order to compensate! All I know is, I've NEVER been ashamed of my own body; and I never INTEND on doing so!" / Marlene says: "If it were up to me, which it sadly isn't; we'd blow past the trivia, and get straight to the action! Of course, we'd than learn nothing ABOUT the legend we're trying to find; so I guess we got to take the boring, WITH the exciting!" / Johnny Krill says: "You know THIS show is rubbing off on me, when even I start learning about the facts of science and history in THIS show!" (End Confessional) Chameleon turns to Po, and Chameleon asks: "Po, what do you think our chances are? Do you think it's possible for us to win?" Po THINKS about it, and says: "I think that ANYTHING is possible, as long as you put your mind to it!" Chameleon says: "That's...TOTALLY not an answer at ALL!" Po says: "Well, I don't know why you asked ME anyways! How would I know?! Don't forget, we're in the same BOAT right now, Chameleon!" Chameleon says: "I just thought I'd ask!" (Confessional) Chameleon says: "I always figured that if ANYONE could help reassure me of MY chances for winning, it would be Po! But if even HE can't honestly tell me what MY chances are, than THIS could be trouble!" / Po says: "It's kind of the Dragon Warrior code, that the Dragon Warrior should NEVER lie, unless it's to protect someone else's feelings! It's kind of that whole 'Jumping Off The Slippery Slope' kind of thing!" (End Confessional)

Yakkity turns to Dudley, and Yakkity says: "It really surprises me that we HAVEN'T been teamed up together prior to now! I mean, as a duo! I mean, the fact that we're BOTH mammals, should mean we would get along together QUITE well!" Dudley says: "Don't get me wrong; I like MOST mammals and animals as much as anyone, being an animal and mammal myself! But Chameleon HAS to be my top pick! But, seeing as how we need to play together; I'm trusting YOU to play to the fullest extent of your abilities!" Yakkity says: "Don't worry, Dudley! I've WAITED for this opportunity for quite a while!" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "Due to this new structure, it will be a good opportunity for me, to see which contestants I work well with! Even if I do have the Final Three to think about, I want to make as many genuine friendships as I possibly can! Maybe they'll come to see MY comedy routines! I can always hope!" / Dudley says: "I know Yakkity means well, but I'm just so concerned about Chameleon! I mean, we've been together for this whole TIME up until now! But if I have to compete against him, that might put him in danger! Of course, Ren Hoek once tried to sacrifice his OWN game to save Stimpy's in season two, and all it did was cause Stimpy all SORTS of headaches! I can't afford to make THAT kind of mistake! I HAVE to compete against Chameleon with everything I've got! And hopefully, he'll understand the reason for doing so!" (End Confessional) Buhdeuce turns to Spongebob, and Buhdeuce says: "Hey! May the best contestant win!" Spongebob genuinely says: "Thank you, Buhdeuce! It's really nice of you to offer that!" Bubble Bass asks: "Spongebob, are you sure it's WISE to accept such a compliment? That REALLY doesn't equate to being a 'Winner' in MY experience!" Spongebob says: "You play the game your way, and I play the game in the way that I feel is the best!" Bubble Bass says: "All right! Just thought I'd chip in my ten cents!"

(Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "Of course, don't ask ME what ten cents can BUY these days, except MAYBE a jaw-breaker, IF you're lucky!" / Buhdeuce says: "I just want to start the team merge on good terms with Spongebob! After all, with things going the way they HAVE been, Spongebob is very LIKELY to be one of the contestants I'll have to face off against in the Final Three! I just want to know in advance, that if I happen to beat him in the Finals, it's nothing personal!" / Spongebob says: "I have no reason to believe Buhdeuce is being facetious! If I did, I wouldn't accept his comment! My policy is, that unless I have a genuine reason to believe otherwise; I always try to give others the benefit of the doubt! It's certainly better than the alternative; always being PARANOID of everyone! That's no way to live in MY books!" (End Confessional) Sniz finally arrives, and he says: "Okay, I'm READY to begin the Steps of Knowledge!" General Barracuda asks: "Where do THEY lead to? The Road of Ruin?!" Sniz dryly says: "Ho-ho, very funny. Ha-ha, it IS to laugh! I'm fully well AWARE this isn't your thing, but couldn't you at least PRETEND to be invested in this?" General Barracuda seriously says: "Look, I don't get PAID enough to pretend to be invested in something I'm naturally NOT invested in! That's Johnny Krill's department" Sniz says: "Fine! Since you're SO insistent on it, we'll SKIP the witty banter! Now, it's time for Olmec to tell us about the Legend of the Lost Journal of Charles Darwin! Take it, Olmec!"

Olmec says: "Charles Robert Darwin, born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, England; would grow up to be a Naturalist, Geologist, and Biologist. Although he would eventually become famous for coming up with the now widely accepted belief in Evolution and Natural Selection, his beliefs had root in his early childhood! As the fifth of six children, his grandfather Erasmus Darwin actually published a book in 1794 called Zoonomia, which talked about how all living animals on Planet Earth, came from a Last Universal Common Ancestor. Sometime, during 1827; Charles Darwin learned of Lamarck's earlier theories about evolution! The theory was, that a parent or set of parents; could pass on any traits they inherited within their life-time, to their descendants! He also learned about classification! Of course, the expedition that would help Charles Darwin cement his place in history, was during the second voyage of the HMS Beagle! Although the voyage lasted for nearly five years, between 1831 through 1836; Charles Darwin made good use of his time, by keeping a Journal, which would later form the basis of his book; The Voyage of The Beagle! During the voyage, he found fossils in Argentina, of animals that no longer lived there, but did in the past! Thanks to an earthquake in Chile in 1835, Charles Darwin discovered that land can actually grow in size; and that the Earth wasn't a static object! It wasn't until Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands, that the puzzle pieces finally fit together! Charles Darwin noted how the finches and tortoises, despite having similarities to mainland relatives on Chile, were genetically different from their mainland predecessors, and sometimes differed from island to island! Realizing it was highly improbable for many different species to all immigrate to the islands at the same time, Charles Darwin came up with the theory of Evolution, using fossils of extinct animals, and noting the similarities many of them had to their common descendants! This work of genealogy and selective breeding, would eventually be published on November 24, 1859; as On The Origin Of Species! Charles Darwin passed away on April 19, 1882, from Heart Failure; but his original journal was nowhere to be found, until it found its way to the Temple! Your job is to retrieve the lost journal, and bring it back here!" Sniz says: "Thanks, Olmec! Where can the Lost Journal of Charles Darwin be found?" Olmec says: "The Lost Journal can be found in the Dark Forest!"

Sniz says: "Okay contestants! You know the drill! The contestants that get down to the bottom of the Steps of Knowledge first, will receive a Pendant of Life! Olmec, take it away!" Olmec says: "True or false; Charles Darwin's Grandfather published a book in 1794 called Zoonomia, which talked about how all living animals on Earth came from a Last Universal Common Ancestor?" Dudley rings in, and Yakkity says: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Dudley and Yakkity move down a step. Marlene says: "We can't let THEM leave us behind! We've got to be on our 'A' game!" Buhdeuce says: "From MY perspective, everyone else has been playing their 'B' game so far, but I'm on it!" Olmec says: "When and where was Charles Darwin born?" Buhdeuce rings in and Marlene answers: "On February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, England!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Marlene and Buhdeuce move down a step! Marlene says: "You've become QUITE a good contestant! It will be INTERESTING to see if I can beat you, should we BOTH make it to the Final Three!" Buhdeuce, in a confused way, says: "Thank you?" Olmec says: "What were Charles Darwin's three main areas of expertise?" Spongebob rings in, and Bubble Bass answers: "As a Naturalist, Geologist, and Biologist!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down a step! Bubble Bass says: "You're doing fine, Spongebob! Just take one question at a time, and we'll have a Pendant of Life in no time!" Spongebob says: "And you're looking fine, to; Bubble Bass!" Bubble Bass says: "A little unrelated, but thank you for noticing! I HAVE cut back to just two donuts once a week, as opposed to two every other day!" Olmec says: "True or False, Charles Darwin was the fifth of six children." Chameleon rings in, and Po says: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Chameleon and Po move down a step! Chameleon says: "Don't count us out yet!" Bubble Bass says: "I wasn't GOING to!" Olmec says: "Before Charles Darwin, who came up with an EARLIER theory of evolution?" Dudley rings in, and Yakkity says: "Lamarck!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Dudley and Yakkity move down a step! Dudley says: "We're almost there, Yakkity! Just one more step, and a Pendant of Life will be ours!" Yakkity says: "I know! I'm excited, to!" Olmec says: "Complete the following statement! Charles Darwin came up with the theory of Evolution, and what?"

Buhdeuce rings in, and Marlene answers: "Natural Selection!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Marlene and Buhdeuce move down a step! Marlene says: "Seriously, Buhdeuce! You're pretty good! Have you DONE this before, or WHAT?!" Buhdeuce says: "Surprisingly, no!" Olmec says: "What voyage did Charles Darwin take, that lasted for five years?" Spongebob rings in, and Bubble Bass says: "The voyage of the HMS Beagle from 1831 through 1836!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Bubble Bass move down a step! Spongebob turns to Bubble Bass, and Spongebob asks: "Have YOU ever thought about teaching PROFESSIONALLY?" Bubble Bass shakes his head, and he says: "Not enough money in it, sadly. And besides, I'm pretty sure I WOULDN'T have the patience for it!" Spongebob says: "Well, it is good to KNOW your limitations!" Olmec says: "What did Charles Darwin find when he was in Argentina?" Po rings in, and Chameleon answers: "Fossils of animals that no longer lived there!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Po and Chameleon move down a step! Sniz says: "Okay, contestants! This answer is for the Pendant!" Olmec says: "What animals did Charles Darwin observe, that caused him to develop the theory/belief of evolution?" Dudley rings in, and Yakkity answers: "Finches and tortoises!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Dudley and Yakkity move down to the bottom! Sniz says: "Yakkity and Dudley did it! They get a Pendant of Life! We'll need to go to the Challenge Arena, to see who gets the last Pendant!" Chameleon says: "I'm glad YOU got the Pendant of Life, Dudley!" Dudley says: "Well, thank you. But you're not out of this, yet. You could still win the Challenge Arena!" Chameleon says: "Well, I just want to let you know that if I lose in this episode, I'm okay with losing to you." Dudley says: "Well, I GUESS I'm glad to hear that admission! Hopefully, it won't have to COME to that!"

(Confessional) Marlene says: "If you had asked me, before coming onto this season, if I could beat Buhdeuce; I would've said 'Absolutely'! Now, I'm NOT as sure! But maybe that's a GOOD thing, because it means I will work HARDER to ensure a possible win!" / Buhdeuce says: "So, in addition to being a Breadwinner, my OTHER niche seems to be competing in game shows such as THIS one! Who knew?!" / Bubble Bass says: "Just because I have a VERY efficient stomach and digestive system, that doesn't mean that I want to take chances with it if I don't have to! After all, I DO have my son to think about; so any progress I can make, is good progress!" / Spongebob says: "Lucky for me, I still have an Immunity Pendant of Life! I might NEED it just in case I don't win!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Okay, it's time for the Challenge Arena! Just like Charles Darwin learned about how to classify and discover previously undiscovered animals, you will be classifying previously eliminated contestants! We have eliminated 33 different types of contestants! Penguins, Purple Aliens, Prawns, Male Humans, Monsters, Airbenders, Rats, Chimpanzees, Steers, Female Humans, Ducks, Irkens, Whatever GONARD is, Fairy Godparents, Octopus', Tigers, Dogs, Narcissians, Super Heroes, Female Cats, Robots, Female Beavers, African-American Humans, Whatever FEE is, Male Beavers, Whales, Mammalian Aliens, Warthogs, Male Cats, Squirrels, Lobsters, Monkeys, and Magical Fish From the Future! In this challenge, you will receive plush toys of the different types of contestants! Your job will be to throw as many of them into their correct slots as you can! And ONLY toys tossed into their CORRECT slots will count! Whoever wins this challenge will receive a Pendant of Life, and will have a chance to compete for a fabulous reward! Johnny Krill, tell us what the reward is THIS time!" Johnny Krill says: "Since the theme of this episode has been 'Changes', we thought we'd send our winners to beautiful Lone Pine, California! To see the Sierra Nevadas, a change over 25 million years in the making! Lone Pine, California; where the biggest change THESE days, is WHAT movie, commercial, or TV show they are filming there now!" Buhdeuce says: "Lone Pine, California? I'll either freeze my BUTT off from being near the mountains, or I'll scorch my tongue due to being so close to the desert! Hard PASS!!!!" Marlene says: "The reward could be for going to Winnemucca, Nevada for all I care; just so long as I get a BREAK from this show!"

Spongebob says: "Good attitude, Marlene! We didn't come all this way to NOT try to win at this show!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "Hopefully, if we win; we'll get to listen to some good music on the way to our destination!" / Marlene says: "Personally, I don't know WHO picks the reward prize trips for this show; and I don't really care! As long as I personally get to win one, that's all I care about!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Okay! Everybody get into their positions, and make sure you stay behind the throwing line when you throw! And to get everyone in the mood for classifying their contestants; we'll be playing Men At Work's, 'Who Can It Be Now?' Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!" / While everyone else does a pretty good job of throwing, Po with his superior muscles, keeps throwing the stuffed toys too HIGH or too far off course, while Chameleon can't figure out the best way to throw the toys at all! / Men At Work sing: "Who can it be knocking at my door? Go away, don't come around here no more! Can't you see that it's late at night? I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right! All I wish is to be alone. Stay away, don't you invade my home! Best off if you hang outside! Don't come in, I'll only run and hide! Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be knocking at my door? Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor! If he hears, he'll knock all day! I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay! I've done no harm, I keep to myself. There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health! I like it here with my childhood friend. Here they come, those feelings once again! Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Is it the men come to take me away? Why do they follow me? It's not the future that I can see. It's just my fantasy. Yeah! (Instrumental Break) Oh, who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Oh, whoa! Who can it, who can? Oh! Whoa! Who can it be now! Oh, yeah!" /

And the song ends as the challenge ends! Sniz says: "Okay! The challenge is over! It's time to see how many correct throws were made! Marlene and Buhdeuce made 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 correct throws! Po and Chameleon made 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 correct throws! Yakkity and Dudley made 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 correct throws! Spongebob and Bubble Bass made 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 31 correct throws! Bubble Bass and Spongebob win the Pendant of Life! That means we have a THREE way tie between Marlene and Buhdeuce! Yakkity and Dudley! And Spongebob and Bubble Bass! We'll have to go to the Tie Breaker Pedestal to determine which team gets a second Pendant of Life!" And Johnny Krill brings out the Tie-Breaker Pedestal! Sniz says: "I'm going to ask a question. And the team that gets it right, will receive the second Pendant of Life. When was Charles Darwin's book, On The Origin of Species published?" Dudley rings in first, and Yakkity answers: "On November 24, 1859!" Sniz says: "That is correct! Dudley and Yakkity win a second Pendant of Life! They're going to the Temple! As for everyone else, will find out which contestant will have to leave THIS time! Now, it's time to determine who will brave the Temple first!" Yakkity says: "I'll go first!" Sniz says: "That means Yakkity will go second! Now listen well, as Map will detail, on how best to get through the Temple!" Map says: "I'm on it!" / And Map's Visual Information fills in as Olmec narrates how to get through the Temple! / Olmec ships: "First, board the Pirate Ship! Spin the Ship's wheel, but watch out for a Temple Guard! Next, cross the Palm Trees! Step on the correct tree, and open the path to the Lost Library! Pull on the right book, than head down into the Museum! Push down on the correct statue head, and head into the Hall of Armor! Chose the correct suit of armor, than head into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the Monkey in the correct order, than head into the Emperor's Chamber! Smash the clay pots to find the key, and slide down into the Mountain Crevasse! Smash the Stone Wall, and head into the Dark Forest, where you can find The Lost Journal of Charles Darwin! Pull on the correct branch, than head into the Arid Desert! Fill up the cactus with enough water, than head into the Room of Panels! Make the panels on each side of the ladder match, than head back through the Pit! Than climb through the Sea Cave, and back to the Temple Entrance! The choices are yours, and yours alone! Good luck!"

Sniz says: "Okay, contestants! This is for immunity, and a reward! Olmec, lower your gate, please!" And Olmec groans as he lowers his steel gate! Sniz says: "Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" / And Yakkity takes off, and Sniz narrates the action as he goes along. / Sniz says: "Yakkity boards the Pirate Ship, and a Temple Guard, right off the bat! He gives up his pendant, and he spins the ship's wheel! The door is open! Across the Palm Trees! He's stepped on the right tree! Up into the Lost Library! He's got to find the right book, and he's found it! Down into the Museum! He's got to find the right statue head! He's found a shortcut to the Palm Trees! Now he's opened the right door! He's heading into the Hall of Armor, and he's got to pick the right suit of Armor! Another Temple Guard! Go Dudley, go! Across the Pirate Ship, across the Trees, through the short-cut through the Museum! Now he's got to find the right suit of Armor! He's found it! Into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! It's Johnny Krill as a Temple Guard! He gives up his Pendant! Now he's got the base and the stomach of the monkey! He puts them down, and now he has to connect the head! It connects! Into the Emperor's Chamber! He's got to smash the clay pots to find the key, and he's found it! Down he slides into the Mountain Crevasse! He's got to smash through the stone wall! And he's in the Dark Forest! He's got the Lost Journal! All the doors are open! Through the Arid Desert! Through the Room of Panels! Through the Pit! Now, he's got to climb through the Sea Cave, and Dudley's made it out with 24 seconds to spare! Dudley and Yakkity win immunity, and they get the reward to go to Lone Pine, California! But first, we've got to figure out, which contestant is going to be eliminated, before they get to go there!" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "Wow! I won the first MERGED challenge of this season! I really AM becoming a Legend! I'm sure my Grandma is pretty impressed with me...well, MORE than she was before!" / Dudley says: "At this point, I'm not sure WHO will be eliminated this time! Well, I guess we're just going to have to wing it, and hope for the best!" (End Confessional)

The eight contestants are at the Elimination Ceremony! Sniz says: "Contestants, the eight of you have persevered past 38 other contestants! But tonight, someone's ride will come to an end! We only have seven chocolate Pendants of Life! And Spongebob STILL has an Immunity Pendant! Otherwise, the contestant who receives the most votes will have their things packed into the Mine Cart of Shame! That means they will be eliminated, and they cannot return! EVER! That being said, vote!" And the contestants make their choice, as to which contestant they want eliminated! Sniz says: "Voting is over, so it's time--." Spongebob says: "Hold it! I just want to let you know that I'm playing my Immunity Pendant of Life on myself, to nullify my vote ON myself!" Bubble Bass says: "You got to admire his consistency!" Sniz says: "The Immunity Pendant is real, that means all votes cast for Spongebob will not count! Now, it's time to find out, who is safe! Obviously, Spongebob! Marlene, Buhdeuce, Dudley, Bubble Bass, Yakkity Yak!" And it comes down to Po, and Chameleon! Sniz says: "One final Chocolate Pendant of Life! And it was close, but with five votes against him, compared to the other contestant's two votes, the Pendant goes, to Po!" And Po breathes a sigh of relief! Chameleon says: "SHEESH! Just because I said I was OKAY with losing, that doesn't mean I WANTED to lose!" Marlene says: "It's nothing personal, it's just that you HAVE the potential to transform into anything you want! And due to THAT random factor, we can't really COMPETE with that! At least PO'S strength is consistent and predictable!" Dudley says: "I'm sorry I didn't have an Immunity Pendant! You know I would've used it on you!" Chameleon says: "Thank you, Dudley! I know you would've! At least I made it to the Team Merge again! You HAVE to be a REAL Legend to do THAT more than once!" Bubble Bass smiles, and he says: "Yeah, I guess you DO!" Yakkity says: "If you see Keswick, tell him we said, 'Hi'!" Chameleon says: "I'll be sure to do that!" Chameleon puts on a helmet, and straps himself into the Mine Cart of Shame. Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" And Chameleon rockets down the Mine Cart Rails, and through the Portal of the Mine Shaft of Losers!

Sniz says: "And than there were seven! While Dudley and Yakkity enjoy their break, we hope YOU won't take a break from watching us! Stay tuned for the next episode, to find out who will achieve that coveted GODDESS slot?! Find out if one former champ's run will come to an end! And most importantly, find out what our next Legend will be! Anything's possible, when it comes to Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where the only thing constant, IS change!" / Stinger: Chameleon EXITS out of the Portal, and lands RIGHT into the middle of a swimming pool, at a VERY familiar location! Chameleon says: "Now TELL me I didn't wind up back HERE, at the Dow Villa Hotel in Lone Pine, California; of ALL places?! What ARE the chances of that?!" Dudley says: "You tell me, WE just got here!" Chameleon says: "Dudley, you're staying here, TO?!" Yakkity says: "It's the best place in town! Air-conditioning, vending machines, swimming pool, comfortable beds, and access to 77 viewable cable channels! And it's a short walk or drive away to the restaurants in town!" Dudley says: "And don't worry! I had a FEELING you would wind up here, so I booked YOU to have a room with me, while Yakkity has his OWN separate room!" Chameleon smiles, and he says: "Dudley, you truly ARE the best!" Dudley says: "Well, I certainly try to be!" /

Episode Notes: The teams are officially dissolved in this episode! Yakkity and Dudley win the first merged challenge together. Featured songs in this episode include David Bowie's "Changes", Weird Al Yankovic's "Lasagna", and Men At Work's "Who Can It Be Now?" Chameleon becomes the first contestant eliminated in the merged portion of this competition! Eliminated Contestants: 46. Kowalski. 45. Private. 44. Kaput. 43. Johnny Krill. 42. Haggis McHaggis. 41. Monster Krumholtz. 40. Aang. 39. Verminious J. Snaptrap. 38. Darwin. 37. Heffer Wolfe. 36. Judy Funny. 35. Sway-Sway. 34. Invader Zim. 33. Gonard. 32. Blonda. 31. Squidward Tentacles. 30.

Po, ("Kung Fu Panda: Legends Of Awesomeness"). Dudley Puppy ("T.U.F.F. Puppy"). Bubble Bass ("Spongebob Squarepants"). Yakkity Yak, ("Yakkity Yak"). / Personal Notes: By now, I can definitely see why MOST cartoon series, as well as any works of any media, printed, visual, audible, or some combination of the above; tend to make sure that they have a visible antagonist for the other contestants to work against! Even though I made the tail-end of "Total Cartoon Action" work without a major antagonist, it's somehow a lot harder to pull off a second time, as you have to rely on the actions of each contestant, as opposed to most of them working together on a common goal! Of course, I guess I actually prefer a self-imposed challenge; because if I don't have such an EASY writing technique to fall back on, it makes me WORK harder on providing a good story, instead of going for such cheap thrills! And even if you can't see it, I definitely want to make you FEEL as if you're getting your money's worth for this series (such as it is)! Enough said, true believers!

[4EverGreen]

Here's MY birthday gift from me to you, the most recent re-run of the most recent episode of "Total Cartoon Legends!" Enjoy! / Sniz is standing on top of the Steps of Knowledge, and he says: "Last time, on Total Cartoon Legends, the teams of the Green Monkeys and the Red Jaguars were no more! It was every contestant for themselves, competing against each other for the chance to come out on top, and claim a $44.44 million grand prize! And when it came to knowledge and skill regarding a lost journal of Charles Darwin; there were winners, such as Dudley and Yakkity; and there was a loser, who ended up being Chameleon, due to his ability to change into anything! Now, there are only seven contestants left! One contestant, who has been with us for a LONG time, is about to play their last challenge as a contestant! Of course, it will be determined by the challenge and legend that the contestants have to face today! Who will rise like a Sphinx out of the hot Egyptian desert?! Who will swelter under the scorching heat?! And is there ANY show hotter than this one?! I highly doubt that LAST question, but for all others, please come celebrate us for our 150th episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "Where legends, are ALWAYS eternal!" / Instead of the normal show open, it shows a montage of the best moments between Spongebob and Sandy, Po and Tigress, Dudley and Kitty, and Bubble Bass and Blonda; from various episodes of the "Total Cartoon" seasons, set to the tune of The Beatles hit song, "Something". / George Harrison sings: "Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover. Something in the way she woos me. I don't want to leave her now. You know I believe, and how. Somewhere in her smile she knows, that I don't need no other lover. Something in her style that shows me. Don't want to leave her now. You know I believe, and how. You're asking me will my love grow? I don't know, I don't know! You stick around, now it may show! I don't know, oh, I don't know! (Musical Break) Something in the way she knows, and all I have to do is think of her. Something in the things she shows me! I don't want to leave her now. You know I believe, and how!" (Musical Finish, as the montage ends!) /

"The Legend Of The Lost Head Dress of Cleopatra!" / It is night time, and the camera shifts to the hotel room of Bubble Bass! Even though Yakkity Yak is still enjoying his trip reward, Bubble Bass is STILL excited, because Spongebob is helping him film something important! Bubble Bass says: "Look, Spongebob! I think Infant Rube is going to take his first steps!" Spongebob says: "Don't worry! I'm filming, I'm filming!" Infant Rube looks at his father, loving, but a little confused! Bubble Bass says: "Come on! Come to daddy, come on!" Spongebob says: "Come on, Rube! You can do it!" And Infant Rube slowly, but surely, stands on TWO legs, and slowly walks towards Bubble Bass, who proceeds to hug him! Bubble Bass says: "That was great! Did you catch that?!" Spongebob says: "I sure did, Bubble Bass!" Bubble Bass sighs in contentment, and he says: "It really means a lot to me, to know that I was THERE for MY sons' first words, and his first steps! Those are important things that General Barracuda never got to see ME do! I didn't want to repeat THAT mistake with MY son! I want to be there, as long as he needs me!" Spongebob says: "Well, to be fair; the only reason General Barracuda never got to see YOUR firsts, is because he wasn't made aware of your relation to him, until just last season! So, I think you can cut him a LITTLE slack for not being around!" Bubble Bass says: "True. And at least, he's married to my mother, now! Although, come to think of it; I've found myself in a weird position." Spongebob asks: "What do you mean?" Bubble Bass says: "I'm talking about Blonda! At the start of THIS season, she wanted to do ALL the work raising Infant Rube, and barely wanted ME to interact with him! But I've spent so much MORE time on this season than her, it's fair to say our positions have become pretty reversed! I've done MOST of the work raising Infant Rube, and Blonda hasn't really been around!" Spongebob says: "Well, that's only because SHE got eliminated! If you really WANT Blonda to help you raise Infant Rube, the only way YOU could accomplish that, is if YOU got eliminated yourself!" Bubble Bass sighs, and says: "I know, Spongebob! But...I promised Sandy that I would look after you! That I would keep you safe, and not let any harm come to you!"

Spongebob seriously says: "Look, Bubble Bass. I know you THINK you still owe me for the little stunts you pulled on me in the past. But the truth of the matter is, you've done so much for me SINCE than, I think you've MORE than repaid all your past misdeeds! If anything, I probably owe YOU! I don't think I ever REALLY needed anyone to protect me, I'm not sure if I ever did! I...know that I haven't always been the EASIEST guy to be around in Bikini Bottom. But for what it's worth, I'm at least glad that you've been around me for this long!" Bubble Bass says: "Thank you, Spongebob. That means a lot to me! And...you're probably right. I think you ARE capable of handling yourself! And truthfully? You're MORE worthy of winning this season than I am! Maybe it's not MY time to be a contestant anymore." Spongebob asks: "What are you saying?" Bubble Bass says: "Look, being a contestant HAS been fun; and helping you has felt really GRATIFYING! But my responsibility as a father and a husband needs to come first. I can't be a contestant FOREVER, and feel like I'm fulfilling my responsibilities to the best of my ability!" Spongebob says: "I'm just letting you know right now, there is no WAY I'm voting YOU off!" Bubble Bass says: "You probably don't HAVE to! I'm the only former champ left standing! In fact, I'm surprised I've lasted as long in this season as I HAVE! But the other contestants? There's no WAY they're going to let ME win again! If they want to win, this is their best chance to stop me!" Spongebob asks: "Are you...going to be all right about this?" Bubble Bass says: "Spongebob, you KNOW me! I have bounced back from FAR worse than this! My father is a survivor! My half-siblings are survivors! My mother is a survivor! And I'm a survivor! My son is living proof of that! One elimination isn't going to bring all of THAT to an end! Besides, my elimination should actually be beneficial to you!" Spongebob asks: "Why is that?" Bubble Bass says: "Think about it! You've lost all of your OTHER friends on this show! If you lose me, that should provide ALL of the incentive you need, to get to the Final Two!" Spongebob says: "Now that I think about it, you DO have a point! Sandy, Stimpy, Marlene, Larry, Skipper, Patrick, Reggie, and Private all used THAT motivation to get to the Finals in THEIR seasons! But regardless, I still WANT you to try your best!" Bubble Bass says: "My best, will be like a work of art! Beautiful, elegant, and FULL of color and grace!"

(Confessional) Bubble Bass is feeding Infant Rube a bottle of milk! Bubble Bass says: "I'll actually be GLAD to be out of this competition! Not that I haven't been ABLE to keep up with everyone else, I just know that it will be a LOT easier on my stamina, AND my sanity; if I don't have to keep spreading myself too THIN! And I used the word 'Thin' in a sentence, in a way that DOESN'T refer to my body! Now THAT is an impressive hat trick!" / Spongebob says: "Bubble Bass is one of the FEW contestants I've ever personally met, who seems to actually WANT to be eliminated! I suppose anyone else in MY situation on this show, would RELISH the opportunity! Of course, I'm NOT like anyone else! I could and WOULD miss Bubble Bass IF he gets eliminated! I mean, I WOULD use his elimination as incentive to get ME to the Final Two! It's just...I feel SO conflicted about whether or not I SHOULD let it happen! I guess...since it's what he HONESTLY wants, I should respect his wishes! It DEFINITELY won't make it any easier for me to DO that, DESPITE knowing that!" (End Confessional) It is early morning, and Marlene knocks on Buhdeuce's hotel room door. Buhdeuce asks: "Who is it?" Marlene says: "It's me, Marlene! Can I come in?" Buhdeuce says: "No! But give me a minute, and I'll come out!" Marlene says: "All right!" And Marlene checks her nails to see if there's any dirt underneath them, until Buhdeuce says: "Okay, I'm ready!" And Buhdeuce comes out, all dressed up! Buhdeuce says: "What did you want to talk about?" Marlene says: "It has come to my attention, that you are QUITE the competitor, Buhdeuce!" Buhdeuce says: "Surprisingly, yes! What's your point!" Marlene says: "Well, I'm quite the competitor myself! I was thinking, just how AWESOME this season finale would be, if the two of us ended up going head to head against each other in the Final Two?!" Buhdeuce asks: "You mean like an Alliance?!" Marlene says: "Look, I know it's NOT what you pictured; such as being together with Sway-Sway! But if you were with me, you WOULD be competing against the best!" Buhdeuce asks: "Well, how do I know that YOU'RE not going to try to pull something funny against me?!" Marlene scoffs, and she says: "Please! If I WANTED to TRY to play the 'Flirt Card' with YOU, I would've done it a LONG time ago! And I don't even DO that anymore, BESIDES! The difference is, I'm OFFERING you the opportunity to GET to the Final Two! Can you NAME any OTHER contestant who would HONESTLY offer you that opportunity; and don't say 'Spongebob'!"

Buhdeuce is about to say something, but coughs, clears his throat, and says: "That's...funny! Spongebob, was just what I was ABOUT to say!" Marlene says: "I figured as much! I'm just saying that if Spongebob was ABLE to, he'd take EVERYONE still in the competition right now, to the Final Two! And obviously, he can't do that! He'd have to break the hopes and dreams of five other contestants; something he's only ever done by ACCIDENT, against Bulma Briefs!" Buhdeuce says: "You voted against HER, to!" Marlene says: "Only because I HONESTLY thought she would NEVER keep her promise of voting herself off! It was an HONEST mistake! I admit that! But what would be an even BIGGER mistake, is if I didn't try to recruit the best REMAINING contestant on this show, to come with me to the Final Two! Buhdeuce, we're talking about YOU becoming a REAL Legend, and a TRUE Breadwinner in Sway-Sway's eyes! It's practically a once in a lifetime opportunity!" Buhdeuce's eyes lighten up, and he says: "Well, when you put it THAT way; how could I POSSIBLY pass such an opportunity up? All right, I'm in! Impress me! If you're HALF as good as you SAY you are, we should get to the Final Two in NO time!" Marlene says: "Trust me! I look forward to it!" (Confessional) Marlene looks at the camera, and she says: "Come on! YOU would've made a deal with Buhdeuce, to! A rare sentence, I'll admit! But that duck's ability to go from zero to a relative 60, with 60 being the fastest on my metaphorical scale; Buhdeuce's ability for getting better has been nothing short of PHENOMENAL! And I don't use that word lightly! Besides, the last time, I tried to take the easiest two contestants to compete against, and I got beat! So, by THAT train of logic; if I take the BEST contestant to compete against, I might actually win! I mean, I've never tried THAT out before, so it's WORTH a shot!" /

Buhdeuce says: "Up until now, I wasn't sure of WHO I would take to the Final Two with me! Now, I have a better idea! Only a few obstacles remain in my way! Bubble Bass, Po, and Dudley! Those three contestants all have awesome skills of their own! If Marlene and I are going to at LEAST get to the Final Four, than those three will NEED to be eliminated in order to make that happen! That's the FIRST step! By than, I should know more about the skills of Spongebob and Yakkity, before I make any decisions AFTER that! If there's one thing I've learned from being a Breadwinner, is that you should NEVER make your decisions unless you have all the knowledge you're able to gather, or unless you absolutely have to! Foresight! That's what will give me an edge against Bubble Bass, Po, and Dudley!" (End Confessional) It is breakfast time, and everyone is eating breakfast! Dudley and Yakkity walk into the cafeteria, and Dudley says: "Did you miss us? We're BACK!" Yakkity says: "From Lone Pine, California! And DESPITE the name, there's more than ONE tree visible there!" Po says: "Oh! He took the name LITERALLY! I get it!" Bubble Bass says: "To be fair, it's kind of hard NOT to!" Yakkity says: "Oh, I'm TERRIBLY sorry! And YOUR funny jokes are WHERE?!" Bubble Bass says: "I tend to get into situations that CAUSE a funny outcome; not so much as a result of saying things that are funny! It's a different type of humor, that happens to be situational!" Spongebob says: "And trust me, that type of humor, is NOT as easy as it looks!" Johnny Krill comes in, brings in the gong, and rings it! Johnny Krill says: "Okay everybody! Breakfast time is over! Chameleon was eliminated at the last elimination ceremony, and Sniz requests your appearance at the Moat, to find out about today's legend!" Dudley says: "I already KNOW Chameleon was eliminated! So did everybody else! You didn't NEED to remind us of that!" Johnny says: "I know that! But if I talk more, I get paid more!" Marlene says: "Oh! He is GOOD!" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "In spite of my name, I would NEVER talk just for the SAKE of talking! I would talk if I had something important to say, or if I had a really funny joke on my mind! (Beat) Apparently, this was an exception to the rule, because I thought I would have something MORE to say!" / Po says: "Tigress told me that before I came around to explain the concept to her, she took nearly ALL the jokes that Master Monkey said, at face value! She's a lot better now; but occasionally, there are STILL some metaphors that FLY right past her!" /

Bubble Bass says: "I like taking opportunities on Spongebob Squarepants, that result in unique outcomes! The more unique the outcome, the more interested I am in helping make that happen! I mean, it would REALLY take a LOT of money, to make ME interested in making SOME dumb episode that degrades Squidward's self-esteem and dignity! Otherwise, I won't even BOTHER!" / Spongebob says: "Bubble Bass is a TRUE professional! Not only does he stay in character for the entire filming of an episode, but he ALWAYS tips the valet! Usually, you have to pay EXTRA for that!" / Marlene says: "There are SOME advantages to being EMPLOYED for Sniz, as opposed to being a contestant; not enough to make me want to STOP! I'm just saying!" / Johnny says: "I'm only trying to justify MY need to remain on the show! I'm sure if Fondue were here, he would do the same! But you got to admit, I AM more interesting than Fondue; having actually BEEN a contestant this season!" (End Confessional) The contestants head to the Moat, and are SURPRISED to see Sniz dressed like an Egyptian Pharaoh, being carried on an Egyptian portable mattress by FOUR former contestants! Snaptrap, Blonda, Kitty, and Pearl! Bubble Bass says: "Blonda! Pearl! What are YOU two doing here?!" Blonda says: "I came back, because Squidward had a BREAK in his touring schedule, so I thought I would come back to help you raise Infant Rube! And instead, I get roped into helping Sniz with some INSANE and INANE stunt!" Sniz says: "Hey! My stunts AREN'T insane, compared to some OTHER people who I could, but WON'T mention!" Pearl says: "And I'm here because I won a contest among the other remaining contestants! I was voted the MOST popular ELIMINATED contestant!" Dudley says: "Well, that still doesn't explain Kitty and Snaptrap!" Kitty sighs, and she says: "I'm here, on account that it was MY bad behavior that caused Jenny to have her freak-out, so I'm doing this good deed for Sniz, to get back into his good graces!" Snaptrap says: "And I'm here, because I was ROBBED!!!! I was UNFAIRLY kicked OFF, AGAIN!" Buhdeuce groans, and says: "Just DROP it! You would've JUST been voted OFF in another episode! None of US really LIKED you! I'm not even sure if ANY of us TOLERATED you!"

Snaptrap says: "I didn't ask for YOUR opinion! I mean, if Sniz really WANTS to kick me off, he should at LEAST kick me off for something that I ACTUALLY do! Not something I get FRAMED for doing!" Yakkity says: "Come on! I may be a JOKER, but even I know that it's no joke that you had 'Early Boot' written all over your FACE, metaphorically speaking!" Po says: "You know you're not doing well if even Buhdeuce and Yakkity can TELL that you WEREN'T really a threat to ANY of us!" Snaptrap gets angry, and he says: "LIAR!! I am the BIGGEST threat in Total Cartoon HISTORY! This is the 150th episode, and I'm going to do something...BIG to celebrate the occasion!" Spongebob asks: "BIG? What did you do? Run out of OTHER evil metaphors?" Snaptrap says: "At least I have ONE!" Marlene says: "And ONE is ALL you will ever HAVE; namely, ANGELICA!!!!" Buhdeuce says: "BURN!!!!" (Confessional) Snaptrap says: "Sniz is going to be SORRY he tried to hire ME to do MENIAL labor! If ANYONE deserves to GET $44.44 million, it's going to be ME!!!!" / Blonda mockingly repeats Snaptrap, and she says: "If ANYONE deserves to GET $44.44 million, it's going to be ME!!!!" Than Blonda speaks seriously, and she says: "SERIOUSLY, that's what he SOUNDS like! Does he even LISTEN to himself when he TALKS?! I don't even NEED to use MAGIC to stop him; his plan is going to FAIL like it ALWAYS does!" / Kitty says: "I might be capable of doing CRAZY things, but I would NEVER do anything as INSANE as anything that SNAPTRAP plans to do!" / Pearl says: "What bugs me, is not wondering about whether or NOT Snaptrap WILL be stopped; it's figuring out WHO will be the one to do it!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right, you can put me down now!" And all FOUR of the former contestants instantly DROP the portable Egyptian mattress, and Sniz said: "I meant, GRADUALLY! This is why I mostly use General Barracuda for these kinds of stunts!" General Barracuda says: "I don't get PAID enough to CARRY you PHYSICALLY! I only carry you EMOTIONALLY, such as right now!" Sniz says: "Just so long as you carry me SOMEWAY, that's all I care about! In any case, there's a REALLY good reason as to why I'm dressed like an Egyptian Pharaoh this time!" Marlene asks: "It's related to the challenge and legend, isn't it?" Sniz says: "You know us SO well, Marlene! Olmec, tell us what today's legend is!"

Olmec says: "Today's legend, is The Legend Of the Lost Head Dress of Cleopatra!" Yakkity asks: "You mean THE Cleopatra?!" Sniz says: "I don't mean Elizabeth Taylor! Old reference, look it up! In any case, back in the days of the Pharaoh's of Egypt, they would often travel on the Nile in boats and rafts made of Bull Rush Weeds! Normally, we would have you MAKE your own boats! However, legal says that they highly FROWN upon slave labor; so they've been made FOR you! You will each take your own boat, and row it across the Moat! And be sure to avoid the FAKE Nile River Crocodiles within the Moat! Like last time, you will be paired up in groups of two, depending on where you finish!" Buhdeuce says: "One problem; we only HAVE seven contestants!" Sniz says: "Not to worry! The last contestant will be paired with Johnny Krill, as part of our 'Anti-Frustration Feature'!" Johnny says: "HOORAY! I've been called an official writing technique! It took me long enough!" Sniz says: "In Cleopatra's day, she was called a REAL beauty! Not QUITE the face that launched a 1,000 ships, but definitely in the same ball park! So, to help you get in the mood; we will play The Tubes' hit song, 'She's A Beauty'!" Bubble Bass says: "As far as I'm concerned, Blonda; you're the only beauty that I'LL ever need!" Blonda says: "Smart answer!" (Confessional) Blonda says: "You've definitely got to admire a man who keeps his priorities straight!" / General Barracuda says: "Sniz is definitely lucky to have ME around! I provide him with the security that my OWN father never did! Uh...THAT, came out wrong!" / Marlene sighs, and she says: "I REALLY hope I can get to the Final Two! My ability to predict things, is starting to become TOO good!" / Yakkity says: "I got the Elizabeth Taylor reference! I'm not sure if the target demographic would, but that's what Google is for!" / Buhdeuce says: "MAN! Sniz just thinks up of EVERYTHING, doesn't he?!" / Johnny says: "It's kind of sad that I've gotten more relevance WORKING for Sniz, as opposed to being a contestant! But at least I'm STILL more SANE than Snaptrap is!" / Snaptrap mockingly says: "Oh, ow! Rub SALT in my wound, why don't you?!" / Bubble Bass shakes his head, and he says: "Some people just CAN'T take criticism, no matter HOW true it is!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right! Everyone get into positions! The first two contestants across, will receive a Pendant of Life! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

While everyone else (including Po) does a pretty good job of rowing, Bubble Bass ends up being slowed down because of his heavier weight! / The Tubes sing: "Step right up, and don't be shy! Because you will not believe your eyes! She's right here, behind the glass! You're gonna like her, 'cause she's got class! You can look inside another world! You get to talk to a pretty girl! She's everything you dream about! But don't fall in love, she's a beauty! She's one in a million girls, she's a beauty! Why would I lie? Why would I lie? You can say anything you like! But you can't touch the merchandise! She'll give you every penny's worth! But it will cost you, a dollar first! You can step outside your little world! (Step outside) You can talk to a pretty girl! She's everything you dream about! But don't fall in love, she's a beauty! She's one in a million girls! One in a million girls! Why would I lie? Why would I lie? But don't fall in love! If you do, you'll find out, she don't love you! She's one in a million girls! One in a million girls! Why would I lie? Now, why would I lie? Oh! (Musical Break) Step outside your world! But don't fall in love, she's a beauty! She's one in a million girls! One in a million girls! Why would I lie? Now, why would I lie? But don't fall in love! If you do, you'll find out, she don't love you! She's one in a million girls! One in a million girls! Why would I lie? Why would I lie? But don't fall in love! She's one in a million girls!" / And the song ends as everyone finishes crossing! Sniz says: "All right! We've got our pairs of contestants! Marlene and Buhdeuce were the first ones across, so they get a Pendant of Life! And our other pairs of contestants, are Spongebob and Dudley for crossing 3rd and 4th! Yakkity and Po for crossing 5th and 6th! And Bubble Bass will automatically get paired with Johnny Krill!"

Johnny says: "Awesome! It's going to be just like old times again!" Bubble Bass sarcastically says: "If you mean like the times we experienced on Total Cartoon Island Strikes Back, than I can HARDLY wait!" Johnny says: "And while even I could tell that you were being sarcastic, I'd have to agree that; YES, it WILL be just like the times we experienced on Total Cartoon Island Strikes Back! Maybe even better!" (Confessional) Bubble Bass says: "SHEESH! Even SARCASM doesn't get Johnny Krill down!" / Johnny says: "I'm just ignoring Bubble Bass' sarcasm JUST to be funny with him! Who SAYS Yakkity Yak is the only comedian on this show?" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "We've got to get everyone dried off, but don't go away, because we'll be right back with MORE Total Cartoon Legends!" (Commercial Break) / After the commercials finish, the contestants gather at the Steps of Knowledge. Marlene turns to Buhdeuce, and she asks: "Buhdeuce, what do you think our chances are of beating Bubble Bass?" Buhduece says: "Before today, I would've said; 'Not very good!' But now, I actually think we have a pretty GREAT chance, especially since Bubble Bass is paired with Johnny Krill! I mean, Johnny LITERALLY has no INCENTIVE to help Bubble Bass WIN this challenge!" Johnny says: "Wrong! Sniz says I get paid EXTRA if I HAPPEN to help a contestant win a challenge!" Marlene looks shocked, but she composes herself, and she says: "It HARDLY matters how much YOU try to help! I don't think a contestant who got ELIMINATED in the second episode of this half-season, will be TOO much to worry about!" Johnny says: "We shall see!" (Confessional) Marlene says: "How come I was never offered an opportunity to help any contestants win when I was a paid intern?!" / Buhdeuce says: "Note to self; never assume ANYTHING unless you have ALL the facts!" / Johnny says: "The real reason I found a way to get paid more? I HAD more time than Marlene did to study over the Intern Contract BEFORE I actually signed it! And that's only ONE of the examples, of how I am SMARTER than I look!" (End Confessional)

Dudley turns to Spongebob, and Dudley says: "You know, I believe this is the first time in a LONG time that we've EVER worked on a common goal together! Do you think that you're READY to handle the quiz that's going to come our way?!" Spongebob says: "With the exception of Opposite Day, I don't think there ever HAS been, or ever WILL be a time when I WASN'T ready!" Dudley says: "Good! That makes me feel SO much better!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "Winning challenges is EASY, compared to trying to AVOID voting anyone I like OFF! That's why it would be a real HELP for me to WIN this challenge, so I can have IMMUNITY from voting myself OFF!" / Dudley says: "Spongebob is definitely nice, but he always tries to carry his niceness for FAR longer than he REALLY should! After all, in my line of work; I don't always have TIME to solve problems the NICEST way! I LITERALLY work for T.U.F.F.! If I CAN solve a problem the nicest way, I'd CERTAINLY do that! But I'm aware that ISN'T always the right solution, especially if there's some kind of crisis going on! But regardless of the crisis, my fellow T.U.F.F. Agents and I can ALWAYS solve a crisis!" / Snaptrap says: "Dudley thinks he can ALWAYS solve a crisis, HUH?! I'll GIVE him a crisis even HE can't solve!" (End Confessional) Po turns to Yakkity, and Po says: "You know, it occurs to me that I STILL don't really know what you're competing for! I mean, you probably already KNOW that I'm competing to avenge Tigress! But how about you? What's YOUR big story?" Yakkity says: "Well, unlike Angelica who told a lie about one of HER grandmothers; I love my grandma VERY much! She's worked hard to raise me for most of my life, and I've always wanted to do something to make her PROUD of the grandson she has raised! I figure that if I can get at least to the Final Four of this competition, I'll finally have enough money to help my Grandma live out her golden years in the comfort and luxury she deserves; and I can safely pursue my comedy career!" Po says: "Wow! That's a truly noble goal! I sure hope you are successful in your endeavors!"

(Confessional) Po breathes a sigh of exasperation, and he says: "MAN!!!! Compared to Yakkity's goal, my goal of trying to avenge Tigress sounds so SHALLOW! I can't compete with THAT! I know Tigress won't like it, but I think I have to adjust my plan, so that Yakkity can achieve his dreams! Tigress and I weren't even competing for the money ANYWAYS; since we didn't really NEED the extra money! But since Yakkity has a need FAR more noble than mine, I should do what I can to make his dreams, become a reality!" / Yakkity says: "I'm not sure WHICH of my parents decided to name me, or if they simply lost a bet, and honored it. Either way, I've never actually felt ashamed of my name! And I know my Grandma will always love me! But I want to do something that's MORE than just impressing my Grandma; I want to be a successful comedian, whose jokes will potentially inspire GENERATIONS to be the best versions of themselves! THAT, is my ultimate goal!" (End Confessional) General Barracuda asks Bubble Bass: "Son; are you feeling all right about yourself?!" Bubble Bass says: "I've only got...well, FIVE other contestants since Spongebob WON'T vote me off no matter what; who want to vote me off, and I'm STUCK with a Prawn who failed the Fifth Grade FIVE times!" Johnny says: "HEY! I'm right HERE! And I ONLY failed the Fifth Grade FOUR times!" Bubble Bass face-palms himself, and he says: "That's...TOTALLY not helping your case!" Johnny says: "All I'm SAYING is, if you're going to INSULT me, at LEAST have the decency to make your INSULTS factually CORRECT!" Bubble Bass sarcastically says: "I'm SO sorry! My SYMPATHIES!!!!" Johnny groans, and he asks: "General Barracuda! Can't YOU do something about your son?!" General Barracuda asks: "Why would I do THAT?! I AGREE with him!" (Confessional)

Johnny scoffs, and he says: "And it wasn't even really MY fault that I failed Fifth Grade FOUR times! My academic reports were ALWAYS taken away by the Tattletale Strangler, so he could boost his OWN grades! The JERK!" / Bubble Bass says: "Johnny is the first guy I've ever met who's more upset about INACCURACIES, than he is about being insulted! Talk about your 'Skewed Priorities'!" / General Barracuda says: "And Johnny wonders why I NEVER promoted his past BUCK Private!" (End Confessional) Sniz finally arrives, and he says: "Can you guess what TIME it is?!" Kitty says: "I don't KNOW!!!!" (SPLAT!!!!) And Green Slime falls on her! Kitty says: "WHAT?!!!" Pearl says: "Sorry! The Performance Review had some SLIME left over! They didn't want it to go to waste!" Kitty sarcastically says: "Lucky me! How in the WORLD do you get rid of stains caused by SCHNOZBERRY slime?!" Yakkity reaches into his fur, and he pulls out a bottle of STAIN Remover! Yakkity says: "Try this! It's my Grandmother's own brand of STAIN Remover; Beat It: The Bad, Dangerous Stain Remover that makes stains History! It's a name that's a work in progress, but STILL..." Kitty says: "I'll take it! Yakkity, you ROCK!!!! Cosmo, you DON'T!!!!" Cosmo scoffs, and he says: "I was only HIRED to build the slime pipes! Don't blame ME for your own mistake!" Sniz says: "Well, mistakes are neither here, nor there! It's time for Olmec to tell us MORE about the legend of Cleopatra's lost head dress!"

Olmec says: "Born Cleopatra Philopator VII early in the year of 69 B.C.E., Cleopatra would end up being the last major Pharaoh, during Egypt's Ptolemaic rule. Although Cleopatra had four other siblings attempt to rule as Pharaoh either during her life OR with her; Cleopatra ended up getting the most credit for the events that took place during her life! Among Cleopatra's possessions, was a regal head dress known as a Diadem! The Diadem was Cleopatra's sign as chief Pharaoh of Egypt, and a symbol of her royal divinity, and connection to the Egyptian Gods! Cleopatra's reign as a Pharaoh, began in 51 B.C.E., after the death of her father, Ptolemy XII. However, her reign as Pharaoh was not stable. The Roman Republic, transitioning into an Empire during Cleopatra's life, manipulated Cleopatra's siblings against her; until eventually only Cleopatra and her son Ptolemy XV were left by 44 B.C.E. It wasn't long after that, during the Liberator's Civil War taking place between 43 B.C.E. through 42 B.C.E., to avenge Julius Caesar's assassination, that Cleopatra met and fell in love with Marcus Antonius; better known as Marc Antony! Cleopatra would have three children with Marc Antony; two sons and one daughter. With donations from Cleopatra, she helped fund Marc Antony's military campaigns against the Parthian Empire, and the Kingdom of Armenia. They gave his conquests, to their children. What Cleopatra wasn't aware of, is that Marc Antony divorced his fourth wife, Octavia the Younger, the sister of Octavian or Caesar Augustus, to be with Cleopatra! Octavian, angered by this slight, engaged in a propaganda war against Marc Antony! He forced Marc's allies in the Roman Senate to flee Rome in 32 B.C.E., and on September 2, 31 B.C.E., Octavian soundly beat Marc Antony's forces at the Battle Of Actium! After Marc Antony was beaten again at The Battle of Alexandria, between July 1 through July 30 of 30 B.C.E., Marc Antony committed suicide on August 1, 30 B.C.E.! Learning that Octavian planned to bring Cleopatra to a Roman Triumph procession to humiliate her, Cleopatra decided to spitefully poison herself on August 10, 30 B.C.E., forever denying Octavian his crowning moment of glory! Cleopatra's Head Dress, or Diadem, became lost to the mists of time, until it found it's way to the temple! Your job is to retrieve Cleopatra's Head Dress, and bring it back here!"

Sniz says: "Thanks Olmec! Where can Cleopatra's lost Head Dress, or Diadem be found?" Olmec says: "The Lost Diadem can be found in the Pharaoh's Tomb!" Sniz says: "Okay, you have all the knowledge you need! So all you need to do is--!" But Sniz is interrupted by a LOUD air horn, and through a megaphone, Snaptrap screams: "SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME!!!! You think you're SO smart belittling ME for all this time, but I am FINALLY going to get the RESPECT that I DESERVE! I have STOLEN the briefcase containing the $44.44 million in COLD HARD CASH, and unless there's a soul BRAVE enough to storm my elaborate Pyramid DEATH Trap in the Challenge Arena to TRY to beat me, than you will never SEE a CENT from the $44.44 million AGAIN!!!! Consider it my SEVERANCE pay from my time as a Temple Guard!" Bubble Bass says: "As of August 27, 2022; I have seen EVERY single aired episode of Kamp Koral, The Patrick Star Show, and Spongebob Squarepants at LEAST once; so I know what I'm talking about when I'm SAYING...you are COMPLETELY out of your MIND! Don't you know that what you're DOING, is stealing from a contestant who deserves the money FAR more than YOU do?!" Snaptrap asks: "So what if I AM stealing?! Big WHOOP! The American Treasury can ALWAYS just PRINT more money!" Bubble Bass says: "Yeah! And all THAT will do is further DEVALUE the actual VALUE of money, which will make things more EXPENSIVE for EVERYONE, INCLUDING yourself!" Snaptrap screams: "STOP RUINING THINGS FOR ME!!!! This is MY money! I've EARNED it! And it's TIME for all YOU morons to PAY the rent, and PAY your SHARE! See you in the Pyramid, if you're BRAVE enough!" Sniz turns to General Barracuda, and Sniz TENSELY says: "HORATIO; PLEASE tell me that Snaptrap DOESN'T have the ACTUAL case of $44.44 million on him!" General Barracuda angrily yells: "Now, how would I possibly know THAT?! Paragraph 6, Subsection C, of my Employee contract STRICTLY states, that NO Employee of Sniz can, may, or shall EVER know in FULL or in part, the combination to the Safe containing the briefcase that holds $44.44 million in cold hard cash!"

Sniz yells: "CURSE my OWN fine PRINT! Why have you BETRAYED me?! Okay, NEW plan! Whoever STOPS Snaptrap from getting away with what MIGHT be the $44.44 million in cold hard cash, will receive IMMUNITY, and the FREEDOM to eliminate ANY contestant they want; no questions asked!" Buhdeuce says: "Well, when you put it THAT way; what are we WAITING for?! We've got a pyramid to storm!" / And the contestants run to the pyramid, and quickly enter inside! As soon as they enter, The Real Breadwinners start singing THEIR own version of Midnight Oil's hit song "Beds Are Burning", which plays while the contestants avoid all the various death traps of the Pyramid! / Sway-Sway sings: "Way out where the river broke; the blood-wood, and the desert oak! Old boat wrecks and boiling trains, let off steam in ninety-five degrees! The time has come, to say fair's fair! To pay the rent! To pay our share! The time has come! A fact's a fact! It belongs to them! Let's give it back! How can we dance when our Earth is turning? How do we sleep while our beds are burning?! How can we dance when our Earth is turning? How do we sleep while our beds are burning?! The time has come, to say fair's fair! To pay the rent! Now, to pay our share! Four wheels scare the cockatoos, from the Nile Delta; to Cairo, to! The eastern desert lives and breathes, even In ninety-five degrees! The time has come, to say fair's fair! To pay the rent, to pay our share! The time has come! A fact's a fact! It belongs to them! Let's give it back! How can we dance when our earth is turning? How do we sleep while our beds are burning?! How can we dance when our earth is turning? How do we sleep while our beds are burning?! The time has come, to say fair's fair! To pay the rent now, to pay our share! The time has come! A fact's a fact! It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back! The time has come, to say fair's fair! To pay the rent now, to pay our share! The time has come! A fact's a fact! It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back! The time has come, to say fair's fair! To pay the rent now, to pay our share! The time has come! A fact's a fact! It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back! The time has come, to say fair's fair! To pay the rent now, to pay our share! The time has come! A fact's a fact! It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back!" / And the song fades out as the contestants finally make it to Snaptrap's inner-most chamber!

Snaptrap sputters and he says: "WHAT?! The poisonous snakes, scorpions, arrows, javelins, huge boulders, spike traps, and flame-thrower traps didn't scare you OFF?!!!" Buhdeuce scoffs, and he says: "You're kidding, RIGHT?!!! Do you have ANY idea of the kinds of monsters and threats I had to deal with on MY show?! That was a PICNIC!" Marlene says: "Why don't you just give it UP, Snaptrap?! Even against only SEVEN of us, we're STILL too much for you to HANDLE!!!!" Snaptrap angrily says: "Look, I promised Angelica on the DARKEST, blackest part of my soul that I WOULD return with the $44.44 million the way she was NEVER able to; and I'm going to KEEP that promise, no matter WHAT it takes!" Spongebob asks: "But is this the way you REALLY want to do it?! As a big, FAT crook?! If you have to STEAL something just to say you CAN, does that really fulfill you in the END?! Besides, even if you COULD get away from us, you and Angelica would have to live on the run for the REST of your LIVES! Do you think Angelica could POSSIBLY live with you like THAT?!" Snaptrap yells: "LIVE?!!! I'll tell YOU what it's like to live as a RAT!!!! I've spent EIGHTEEN years, as a single DIME worth orphan in an ORPHANAGE filled with around 3,102 orphans, and I watched EVERY other SICK and UNATTRACTIVE orphan GET adopted EXCEPT me! Well, FINALLY; all my WAITING has paid off, and no MISERABLE excuse for a yellow sponge, is going to TALK me out of this NOW!!!!" Bubble Bass yells: "Hey! Talking SMACK against Spongebob and ACTUALLY meaning it?! That's going TOO far!" Snaptrap mockingly says: "OOH, I'm SO scared! What you gonna do; use your BUBBLES against ME?!" Bubble Bass smiles, and he says: "That's PRECISELY what I was going to do! You want to see what bubbles can REALLY do?! I'd be glad to SHOW you!!!!"

And using the FULL extent of his bubble powers for perhaps the first time ever, to the tune of "Ride of The Valkyries", Bubble bass creates Bubble versions of Kowalski, Private, Kaput, Johnny Krill, Haggis McHaggis, Monster Krumholtz, Darwin, Heffer Wolfe, Judy Funny, Sway-Sway, Invader Zim, Gonard, Blonda, Squidward Tentacles, Tigress, Otto Rocket, Dog, Zarbon, Super Chum, Kitty Katswell, Jenny Wakeman, Treeflower Fields, Gerald, Fee, Harvey Beaks, Daggett Beaver, Pearl Krabs Barracuda, Bulma Briefs, Keswick, Taotie, Stimpy J. Cat, Sandy Cheeks, Larry The Lobster, Wally, Future Adult Rube Goldfish, and Chameleon! Bubble Bass says: "Since MOST of the contestants that have been eliminated CAN'T be here in PERSON, I thought I'd do the NEXT best thing, and summon Bubble versions of MANY of the OTHER former contestants, to fight against YOU! Bubble contestants, SHOW Snaptrap what you're MADE of!"

And the bubble creations SURPRISINGLY use all the skills of their real life-counterparts to fight against Snaptrap! Bubble Kowalski and Bubble Private use their penguin spy skills to electrify and burn Snaptrap! Bubble Kaput fires his alien lasers, and Bubble Johnny Krill shreds a skateboard all over Snaptrap! Bubble Haggis McHaggis whacks Snaptrap with his shellaighlee, and Bubble Monster Krumholtz RAMS Snaptrap with his horns! Bubble Darwin throws coconuts at Snaptrap, while Bubble Heffer Wolfe SLAMS against Snaptrap with his weight! Bubble Sway-Sway uses his power punches to pummel Snaptrap, and Bubble Invader Zim accompanies Bubble Kaput with alien lasers! Bubble Squidward Tentacles plays his clarinet as LOUDLY as he can to HURT Snaptrap's ears, and Bubble Otto Rocket accompanies Bubble Johnny Krill on skateboard shredding! Bubble Dog actually BITES Snaptrap as hard as he can, while Bubble Zarbon fires very BEAUTIFUL Arrows of Light! Bubble Super Chum accompanies Bubble Sway-Sway with power punch pummeling, while Bubble Kitty Katswell uses her claws! Bubble Jenny Wakeman uses HER bubble robot laser eyes, while Bubble Treeflower and Bubble Daggett accompany Bubble Dog with biting! Bubble Pearl Krabs Barracuda accompanies Bubble Heffer Wolfe with slamming against Snaptrap with his weight, while Bubble Taotie rams Snaptrap with his tusks! Bubble Stimpy J. Cat accompanies Bubble Kitty with claw swiping, while Bubble Sandy Cheeks uses her karate skills against Snaptrap! Bubble Larry the Lobster uses his claw pincers to squeeze Snaptrap in a matter MOST uncomfortably, while Bubble Wally uses HIS telekinesis to keep THROWING various food items at Snaptrap! Bubble Chameleon keeps taking turns transforming into bubble versions of the other former contestants and using THEIR skills, and Bubble Tigress saves HER skills for last, as she winds up the most POWERFUL punch she can, and KNOCKS Snaptrap all the way to near the TOP of the inside of the Pyramid, where his CLOTHES get caught on the Statue of Anubis! Snaptrap yells: "HELP!!!! I can't get DOWN!!!!" Yakkity says: "After trying to steal the $44.44 million, you DESERVE to be left up THERE!" (RIP!!!!) And the contestants suddenly become HORRIFIED, as Snaptrap's clothes are slowly being RIPPED away, due to being caught in the sharp teeth of a stone Anubis statue!

Snaptrap actually PANICS, and he says: "I don't think my clothes will hold out for much LONGER! Help me and I'll...give, BACK the case!" Buhdeuce asks: "Should we help?" Dudley asks: "Is it the right thing to do?" Bubble Bass sighs, and says: "Well, probably NOT; but I WILL anyways! Bubble Creations, slow down and re-direct his fall!" Po asks: "Can't you just catch him?!" Bubble Bass says: "That's NOT how breaking a fall, WORKS! If you try to just catch them WHILE they're falling, you RISK breaking their back or neck, because you're zooming at a velocity that doesn't GRADUALLY slow down their fall!" Spongebob says: "Even I know THAT one!" Bubble Bass says: "That's why you have to slow down, and re-direct their fall, FIRST!!!!" And the Bubble Creations manage to fly up to Snaptrap, just as his lab-coat and pants FINALLY rip away completely, and the Bubble Creations SAFELY slow down Snaptrap's descent, and gradually re-direct his fall, until both he and the case, make it SAFELY to the ground floor! Snaptrap, utterly confused, says: "You beat me up! But...you saved me! Why?" Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "For one simple reason, I was once LIKE you! Patrick, Spongebob, and Larry, helped point out the error of my behavior, and how it wouldn't help me out in life. Johnny Krill, and Tigress helped me become even better after that, and I became a genuine good guy! And...even if you physically ARE a rat, even someone like you, deserves someone to love you; with or without $44.44 million dollars! And that's something that you SHOULD feel good about! Do you feel good about it?" Snaptrap STOPS and thinks about it, and he says: "I...actually feel good. Something's strange! I don't feel MAD or CRAZY anymore! It's like, all the angry thoughts that were in MY head, have vanished without a trace!" Than the Bubble Creations suddenly point at Snaptrap's clothes! Po says: "I think your bubble creations are trying to tell you something!" Bubble Bass says: "Bubble creations, magnify the chemical make-up of Snaptrap's clothes!" And the bubble creations become a giant MAGNIFYING bubble, and show EVERYONE, that tiny, sinister, purple magical parasites were swarming all OVER Snaptrap's clothes!

Blonda finally comes in, and she says: "I recognize THAT magic! That's Anti-Fairy magic! No WONDER Snaptrap was acting so crazy and EVIL! Those purple parasites were AGITATING him to practically FORCE him to act that way! There's only ONE logical explanation! ANTI-COSMO!!!!" Anti-Cosmo suddenly poofs in, and he says: "So, you FINALLY figured it out! I was WONDERING how long it would take you!" Po says: "Anti-Cosmo, you pulled a LOT of stunts against us in the past, but THIS is the LOWEST! Where do you GET OFF, making even SNAPTRAP bend to YOUR wicked whims?!" Dudley says: "You've made ME fight against Snaptrap for the wrong reasons! If I had known that microscopic parasites were causing the problem, I could've had Keswick medically HELP him!" Anti-Cosmo says: "Let's just say I finally got TIRED of you goody-good doers always mucking about, RUINING my plans! I thought that if I had Snaptrap create the most DIABOLIC death trap ever, I could FINALLY stop you once and for all! All you HAD to do, was to get MANGLED to death in a HORRIFYING way, but NO!!!! Nevertheless, YOU persisted!" Marlene says: "Because that's what we DO?! Don't you GET IT?!!! No matter HOW often you fight, or HOW hard you try; the more you TRY to bring us DOWN, the more we'll KEEP rising up against you!" Yakkity says: "Face the facts! No matter HOW often you try to stop ANYONE from doing what is right, you will INEVITABLY fail in your pursuits! Just like you ALWAYS have, and you ALWAYS will!" Anti-Cosmo angrily says: "FINE!!!! If SNAPTRAP can't have the $44.44 million dollars, NOBODY CAN!!!! But first, I'm going to open up the case, and show ALL of you the money that you will NEVER have! And do you KNOW who can stop me THIS time?!!!" Spongebob asks: "Who?!" Anti-Cosmo gets a grin JUST like Chuck Jones' version of The Grinch, and he SCREAMS as he begins to unlock the briefcase, "I DON'T KNOW!!!!" (SPLAT!!!!) And green slime spews OUT of the case as the theme for "You Can't Do That On Television" plays! Blonda says: "I guess he got the DECOY briefcase!" Anti-Cosmo cries, and he says: "Boo-hoo-hoo, MY MONEY!!!!" Anti-Cosmo angrily says: "YOU--!!!!" And the Bubble Creations QUICKLY surround Anti-Cosmo, and completely BLOCK his voice from making any audible sound to the contestants, AND the audience!

The bubble lets up a little, and Anti-Cosmo angrily says: "Just WAIT until I get out of here, and bring the WHOLE squadron of Anti-Fairies on you! You're going to be in SO much pain, you'll be eating out of STRAWS for the REST of your LIVES!!!!" Sniz finally arrives, and he says: "You can GUESS again! Do you know the kind of magical power I've endowed Blonda with?" Anti-Cosmo asks: "What?!" Sniz says: "The ULTIMATE safeguard, in case you EVER tried to go THAT far, or threaten anybody with THAT much!" Blonda poofs up a pink sheet of paper and she says: "Read it, and WEEP Anti-Cosmo!" Anti-Cosmo reads it aloud, and says: "Effective immediately, all Anti-Fairies and Pixies are FIRED and COMPLETELY stripped of their MAGIC?!!!" And just like that, Anti-Cosmo loses his wand, his bat wings, and his crown no longer FLOATS over him! Anti-Cosmo screams: "NO!!!! I just wanted to make everybody else's lives more MISERABLE than mine! Was THAT so WRONG?!!!" Everyone else screams: "YES!!!!" Bubble Bass says: "I don't care WHAT kind of excuse you might have for DOING all of the evil that you've done! NO excuse is good enough to explain you FREAKING out like a JERK and TRYING to make everyone else's lives MISERABLE! Anti-Cosmo screams: "And I would've gotten AWAY with it, too! If it weren't for you meddling, SONS of--!!!!" And the bubble COMPLETELY muffles Anti-Cosmo again, and Sniz says: "And more importantly, you're going to jail with the attempted death of Snaptrap, attempted theft and destruction of money OVER $5 dollars, and for all the STUPID stunts you pulled against Bubble Bass during Total Cartoon Island Strikes Back!" Johnny says: "I added THAT one myself!" Anti-Cosmo says: "You can't send me to jail! I'm too PRETTY to do HARD time!" Marlene says: "Tell it to someone who cares! I have a FEELING you WON'T be alone for LONG!!!!" And Blonda poofs up a police car, and Anti-Cosmo screams: "No! NO! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And Anti-Cosmo gets thrown into the police car, and it drives away! Po says: "YES!!!! Anti-Cosmo is FINALLY out of the picture for good!"

Snaptrap sighs, and he says: "And for once, I FINALLY feel a sense of peace, and happiness! Bubble Bass, you SAVED me! Even after ALL the terrible things I did under Anti-Cosmo's influence!" Bubble Bass says: "I wanted to give you the chance that no one else ever gave you; the chance to live your life in happiness and peace." Snaptrap says: "Well, I think I can do that, now. Sniz, NOW you can kick me off, for something that I've actually done; even if it WASN'T completely my fault!" Sniz says: "Well, first things first; since our $44.44 million IS still locked up in the safe, that means the money was NEVER in danger! So, we still need to figure out who wins this challenge!" Bubble Bass sighs, and says: "Well, how about I make it easier on everybody else? I feel like I've done all I can do on this show." Spongebob asks: "What are you saying?" Bubble Bass says: "Spongebob, I know you would NEVER choose to eliminate me; so I won't even try to MAKE you choose to do that! Sniz, I QUIT!!!!" Marlene is actually SHOCKED, and says: "WOW! I...never saw THAT coming!" Buhdeuce says: "I'm shocked to, and that's by Breadwinners standards!" Yakkity says: "It...won't be the same without you, Bubble Bass." Po says: "Bubble Bass, you were truly a worthy opponent, and strong of both heart and mind. I will definitely miss having YOU around here!" Dudley says: "If you ever want to take a job at T.U.F.F., you're ALWAYS welcome to do so!" Spongebob says: "Bubble Bass, you know I'm going to miss you." Bubble Bass sighs, and he says: "I'll miss you, to. Just remember, no matter what happens; you'll ALWAYS be a legend, when it comes to being a bubble blower, a jellyfisher, and a fry cook. And those three abilities, you learned ALL by yourself!" Spongebob says: "Thank you, Bubble Bass; for everything!" General Barracuda says: "One thing! Bubble Bass can't leave on the Mine Cart of Shame! He's got Infant Rube! And we can't safely let Infant Rube ride on a vehicle of THAT speed and velocity!" Johnny Krill asks: "Can't we let Bubble Bass and Infant Rube leave on the Limo of Shame?" Sniz says: "Of COURSE we can! I'm more than reasonable enough to put the safety of Infant Rube and Bubble Bass first!" Bubble Bass sighs in relief, and he says: "Thank you, Sniz! I'll get ready!"

(Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "So, since Bubble Bass quit the game, Sniz felt there was no need to due the Steps of Knowledge, the Challenge Arena, or the Temple Run this time! At least he didn't have a reward planned, so it's not like we're missing anything!" / Marlene says: "Well, it finally happened. It took longer than I expected, but it happened. All of the former champs are FINALLY out of the game! Now, the REAL challenge begins!" / Po sighs, and he says: "With Bubble Bass out of the game, it won't be much longer before I'M targeted next! It's...really not much of a comfort to HAVE that knowledge, especially since there isn't much I can really DO about it!" / Spongebob says: "Bubble Bass helped me get THIS far! Now, it's up to me to go the rest of the way! Sandy, Larry, Squidward, Pearl, Future Rube, and even Johnny Krill are all counting on ME know! I won't let them down!" / Dudley says: "Truly, it is ANYBODY'S game now! I just hope it can be MINE!" / Yakkity says: "Grandma, I am one step closer, to making you proud!" (End Confessional) It is night-time, and all the contestants have a chocolate pendant of life, except for Bubble Bass! Bubble Bass packs everything he brought with him into the Limo of Shame, once again being driven by Gordon Quid! Gordon says: "I figured I'd take THIS job again! I'm less likely to be hit by a stray mine-cart! Bubble Bass says: "Well, guys and Marlene; it's been really fun! Infant Rube and I hope you enjoyed the show!" And Infant Rube, sitting on Bubble Bass' right shoulder, claps his fins in agreement! Bubble Bass says: "We're sorry, but we have to go! Don't take any wooden nickles, and don't take ANY rides from strangers!" Buhdeuce says: "We weren't PLANNING to!" Bubble Bass says: "Say good-bye, Infant Rube!" Infant Rube says: "Bye-bye!" And Bubble Bass and Infant Rube get into the Limo of Shame. Bubble Bass says: "Gordon, take us away." And the Limo of Shame drives off. Sniz says: "That leaves one matter left to resolve, in Snaptrap!" Snaptrap puts a helmet on and he says: "No need to worry THIS time! I know that I couldn't POSSIBLY stay, so I'm perfectly willing to go!" Dudley scoffs, and he says: "Oh, sure! NOW he has a pleasant personality!" Snaptrap gets himself strapped into the Mine Cart of Shame! Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!"

And Snaptrap rockets down the Mine Cart Rails, through the portal of the Mine Shaft of Shame! Sniz says: "And just like that, the last former champ has been eliminated, and in the GODDESS slot, no less! Bulma is going to be pretty MAD about that, probably! We now have six contestants left! Who's going to win? It's anybody's guess NOW! But we'll get one step closer to answering it, on the next episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "An exciting experience in THIS life, or ANY life!" / Stinger: Snaptrap exits out of the Mine Shaft desert, and into an area RIGHT in the middle of Nevada! Snaptrap says: "I don't understand WHY I ended up here THIS time! In Winnemucca, Nevada! I don't even KNOW anybody here!" And a familiar female voice says: "Oh, DON'T you?!" Snaptrap asks: "Dora the Explorer?! What are YOU doing here?!" Dora says: "Don't BLOW my cover! Look! That BULMA unfairly cheated ME off! I am going BACK to Total Cartoon Legends, and get the MONEY that is OWED of me!" Snaptrap says: "Dora, I LITERALLY just TRIED that plan! It didn't work!" Dora says: "Ah, CRUD!!!! What am I supposed to do NOW?!" Snaptrap says: "I don't know, but I know what I'm GOING to do! I am GOING to call your PARENTS to tell them you're SKIPPING out on YOUR punishment!" Dora panicks, and she says: "But YOU'RE supposed to be EVIL and ACCEPTING of this type of behavior! You can't turn ME back in!" Snaptrap seriously says: "If you really WANT to keep your freedom, you better RUN while you still have a chance!" Dora groans, and she says: "Oh, I hope the snacks and spare shoes in my Backpack can hold me out until I at LEAST get to Reno, Nevada!" And Dora runs off without looking back! And sure enough, Snaptrap calls on his cell phone, and he says: "Hello, is this the mother and/or father of Dora The Explorer? I'd like to inform you that Dora's trying to skip out on her punishment, and is trying to make a break for Reno, Nevada! If you hurry, you can catch her before she makes it out of Winnemucca, Nevada!" And Snaptrap hangs up, and he says: "It feels SO good, when the shoe is FINALLY on the other foot!" /

Personal Notes: In some seasons, there are occasions where characters that I would've never EXPECTED to be compelling to me, end up doing so! Not counting season one (my "Early Installment Weirdness"), there was Dog in season two; Patrick in season three; and starting in season four, Bubble Bass! Bubble Bass surprisingly ended up as one of the most complex and interesting characters I ever had the opportunity to write for! His thought process, and examining an evolution from a relative amoral, self-centered jerk; to a caring, compassionate father who really appreciated his friends, was nothing short of fascinating! Needless to say, I wanted to carry Bubble Bass' story for as long as I felt it would help move the story forward! Now that Bubble Bass' part in the story is over, it's time for someone else to shine! I hope you enjoyed reading this story, as much as I did writing it! Enough said, true believers!

You know the drill; long re-run, so I'll just get right to it! / Sniz is standing with some props from the Emperor's Chamber and the Hall of Armor, drinking a large Diet Pepsi, and he says: "Last time, on Total Cartoon Legends, the Final Seven were competing against each other, to figure out who knew the most about the legendary Egyptian Pharaoh Cleopatra! Unfortunately, before any of them could put their knowledge to the test, Snaptrap came back to look for REVENGE, and tried to steal away the $44.44 million! The contestants, not wanting all of their hard work to be for nothing, went after him! After braving the death traps of Snaptrap's pyramid, Bubble Bass utilized the full extent of his bubble powers, and beat the living daylights out of Snaptrap! As it turns out, Snaptrap's clothes had been infected with magical purple parasites, which FORCED him to be evil! And they had been put there by none other than Anti-Cosmo! For Anti-Cosmo's role in attempting to steal the $44.44 million, I fired him AND the rest of the Pixies and Anti-Fairies, stripped them of ALL of their magic, and put Anti-Cosmo in jail! Bubble Bass, deciding that he didn't want to have to force Spongebob to try to vote him off, Bubble Bass decided to willingly quit the challenge instead, and took Infant Rube with him on the Limo of Shame. Snaptrap ended up being the one, who had to take the Mine Cart of Shame home, for the second and LAST time; HOPEFULLY! Now, we are down to just six contestants! One contestant from each show remaining! While none of them has ever won a season before, they're all hoping to do so now! Who has the knowledge to make it down the Steps of Knowledge? Who has the skills to persevere in the Challenge Arena? And WHO will get me another Diet Pepsi?!" Johnny Krill rushes in with another large Diet Pepsi, and he says: "Here you go, sir!" Sniz says: "Well, for all the other questions, find out the answers on today's episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "An enduring part, of the Nickelodeon Dynasty!" / Instead of the normal show open, it instead shows live-action clips taken from various media sources, about average Chinese life, taken between 1990 through 2019, all set to Billy Joel's song, "The Great Wall Of China"! /

Billy Joel sings: "Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah,ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah, Hey! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Hey! Advice is cheap, you can take it from me! It's yours to keep, 'cause opinions are free! Nobody knows about the trouble I've seen! Nobody's perfect, mister, nobody's clean! It cost too much, and takes too long to find out, too late! Some words are not heard 'til after they're spoken! Your role was protective, your soul was too defective! Some people just don't have a heart to be broken! We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China, if you'd only had a little more faith in me! In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright! Now all the king's men and all the king's horses, can't put you together the way you used to be! We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China! Hey! You take a piece of whatever you touch! Too many pieces means, you're touching too much! You never win if you can't play it straight! You only beat me if you get me to hate! It must be so lonely to think that you have only somebody else's life to live if they let you! I ain't too selective, but it don't take no detective, to find out how fast your friends will forget you! We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China! Now all you're going to be is history! Help yourself, it's all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonight! You coulda had class, you coulda have been a contender! Charlie, you shoulda looked out for me! You could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China! Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah,ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah, Hey! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Ah! (Instrumental Break) This was not your calling, just look how far you've fallen! I heard your story, man, you've got to be joking! Keep things in perspective, this is my true objective! Why tear this heart out if it's only been broken? We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China, if you'd only had a little more faith in me! In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright! Now, all the king's men and all the king's horses, can't put you together the way you used to be! We could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China! Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Ah!" (Scats until the song and montage ends). /

"The Legend Of The Lost Terra Cotta Statue of Emperor Qin (Pronounced Chin) Shi Huang!" / It's late at night, and Yakkity is facing his first night alone without Bubble Bass or Infant Rube in the same room with him. Yakkity sighs, and he says: "It feels so WEIRD how much bigger, and emptier this room feels, without Bubble Bass and Infant Rube around. I should be happier, because now I'll get my normal sleep rhythm back! But now, I feel as if I can't sleep the way I used to! I guess, you really don't know WHAT you have, until you don't have it anymore!" And than he hears a knocking on his door. Yakkity asks: "Who is it?" Spongebob says: "It's me, Spongebob! Can I come in?" Yakkity says: "Of course!" And Yakkity opens up the door, seeing Spongebob standing there with what looks like ALL of the belongings Spongebob brought with him! Yakkity asks: "You can't sleep on your own, either; can you?" Spongebob asks: "Is it THAT obvious?" Yakkity says: "Well, kind of! But, come on in, anyways!" Spongebob comes in, and he says: "I know, it should be silly to be so hung up over losing Bubble Bass, but he was the last real friend that I HAD in this competition! And now...I have to face the rest of this competition alone! I know that I have the ability to do it, it's not the first time I've ever been alone. It just...makes me realize, that the hopes that all of my friends who started this half-season WITH me, they're now all depending on me! So, I have to try to win for THEM, as well as myself! And...I'm not sure if I can handle this kind of pressure on my own!" Yakkity says: "Well...maybe, you don't have to really BE alone!" Spongebob asks: "What are you saying?" Yakkity sighs, and he says: "All season long, I've had to represent MY show all on my own! My grandma, and my friends, are all counting on me to make them proud! And...I never thought I could get this far! In fact, if it weren't for Bulma's support, I'm not sure I would've gotten this far!" Spongebob says: "That's not true! You're a funny comedian, and you're a really nice guy! And the truth of the matter is, I'm ALWAYS hurt when Nickelodeon promotes mostly MY show at the expense of all others, such as your own! For the longest time, I've wanted to make it up to you, because I've always felt like you never really got the opportunity that you REALLY deserve! Maybe...it would be a good idea for the two of us to team up together!" Yakkity excitedly asks: "You mean, like a REAL alliance?!"

Spongebob says: "Sure. I don't really want to be alone, and you could use someone to help you get to the Final Four! And if we both work together, we could help make BOTH of our dreams come true! Even if you only FINISHED in fourth place, you'd STILL get to go home with $40 million in cold hard cash! MORE than enough to give your Grandma what she deserves, and enough to help support you while you get your comedy career started!" Yakkity says: "That would be one of the nicest things anyone has EVER offered me! All right! I'll take it! Besides, if I get to be with you, I'll be partnering with one of the most well-liked contestants on this show!" Spongebob asks: "You think I'm well-liked?!" Yakkity says: "To be honest, it would be pretty hard for anyone to NOT like you!" (Confessional) Spongebob says: "Honestly? Going to Yakkity felt like the right thing to do. Po...seems to be on his LAST legs! There's no WAY everyone else will want to keep him on this show! Dudley seems to be a little too serious for MY tastes, and Buhdeuce and Marlene are already IN an alliance, as strange as THAT seems! If either Yakkity and I are going to have the best chance of getting to the Final Four, we need to be in an alliance together! That way, if I win challenges, I can use my OWN immunity to vote myself off, so I don't have to vote anyone else off! All I need to do is to help Yakkity win two more challenges! Granted, it won't be as easy as it sounds; but I'm willing to do it, because Yakkity is SUCH a good guy, he DESERVES my best!" / Yakkity says: "In my last partnership with Bulma, I always felt like Bulma saw me as sub-ordinate to her at BEST, and just a vote to help HER vote off whoever SHE wanted at WORST! But with Spongebob? I feel as though he treats me like an EQUAL! He doesn't think he's superior to me, or to anyone else; even if he somehow actually IS! I feel like making a partnership with Spongebob, regardless of how long it lasts; will be a good move for me! Not only is it my best chance of making it to the Final Four, but I might even get some comedy tips, from a REAL master of funny laughs himself! Grandma; one way or another, your Yakkity is going to come home a winner, and a TRUE legend!" (End Confessional) It is early morning, and Buhdeuce and Marlene are having a meeting together in the hotel lobby room. Marlene says: "Well Buhdeuce, we did it! Somehow or another, we did it! Bubble Bass is gone, which means we're one small step to one GIANT leap to getting to the Final Three!"

Buhdeuce says: "Technically speaking, Bubble Bass is gone ONLY because he eliminated himself!" Marlene says: "Potato, tomato, semantics! The point is, we need to keep our game up! If we want to get to the Final Three, our best bet is for eliminating the next strongest contestant! And do you know who THAT would be?!" Buhdeuce says: "Of course! It's got to be Po! Even with all of MY video game skills, even I would have difficulty of taking Po in a one on one fight!" Marlene says: "Well, we're LUCKY Yakkity told Po about why Yakkity is competing! Po...just hasn't seemed really invested in competing since than!" Buhdeuce says: "Doesn't that seem WEIRD to you? Po managed to propel himself for so long just TRYING to compete on Tigress' behalf! Why would he stop after Yakkity talked to him?" Marlene says: "Well, when it comes right down to it, Po is the Dragon Warrior! As such, he is HIGHLY invested in doing the most honorable and RIGHT thing by EVERYONE, even if such a thing doesn't get HIM the grand prize money in the end! Po must have felt that Yakkity's desires were FAR more honorable than Po's own desires! And THAT, is just the kind of break that we need!" Buhdeuce asks: "What are you talking about?" Marlene says: "Well, if Po had his FULL sense of composure and wits about him, he would use all his strength and athletic skills AGAINST us! But if is mind ISN'T completely focused on winning, we can USE that to our advantage; beat him, and vote him out of the competition!" Buhdeuce says: "Look; I want to make Sway-Sway proud of me, just as much as you...want to prove whatever point YOU'RE trying to make! But wouldn't eliminating Po be a DISHONORABLE move in itself?!" Marlene asks: "Well, what else can I suggest?! In a show of this nature, SOMEONE has to lose! And I don't intend on it being ME again! Do you really want to lose THIS close to the Final Three?!" Buhdeuce says: "Well, no." Marlene says: "Than we HAVE to make this tough decision! Besides, you know that if the situation were REVERSED, Tigress wouldn't hesitate for a SECOND to avenge Po against us!" Buhdeuce sighs, and he says: "Yeah, you're probably right!"

(Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "Up until now, I've been just FINE riding the Tigress train of beating other contestants; mostly because, most of them ignored and ridiculed me! But now that it's just the six of us, it feels harder to do! Po, Dudley, Yakkity, Marlene, and Spongebob all have THEIR reasons for competing just as much as I do! Ideally, I WOULD play Spongebob's tactic, of voting for myself when I won Immunity Challenges, but I think realistically, that boat has LONG set sail for me! And fortune doesn't really favor those who hesitate to take action! So, if Po ISN'T going to try to keep himself in the game, than he only has himself to blame, and I personally wash my wings of ANY fault he thinks that I might have for his OWN decision not to take any initiative!" / Marlene says: "I feel that the reason I faltered in my first two seasons, is that I spent FAR too much time trying to focus the game on ME! I was SO narcissistic, it's no WONDER I didn't get the grand prize in EITHER of those seasons! That's why I purposely held back this season, I needed to FEEL out the other contestants, and see if any of THEIR needs was greater than my own! And even though the other contestants DO have pretty good needs, I can't stop my game now! I need to carry on my strategy to the very end! And with Buhdeuce's passion and development of his skills, along with my OWN knowledge; I have just about everything I need, to get the BOTH of us to the Final Three!" (End Confessional) It is breakfast time, and everyone is eating breakfast; EXCEPT for Po, who really isn't touching his food! Dudley says: "Po, what's up with you?! Usually, you can't WAIT to get your hands on breakfast; and you've barely taken MORE than a few bites of your food!" Po asks: "How could I POSSIBLY enjoy breakfast, due to two IMPORTANT factors?! First off, everyone ELSE besides Spongebob is going to target ME for elimination BECAUSE I'm the strongest! Secondly, if I win; I'd possibly be depriving Yakkity of HIS desires to help make his Grandma proud of him, and I can't see myself doing that! Not to mention, Tigress won't be happy if I just quit! So, I have found myself in a Lose-Lose-LOSE situation!" Buhdeuce winces, and he says: "Oh, that is going to make eliminating Po SO much harder for me!"

Marlene says: "He KNEW what he was signing up for when he GOT into this thing! If he REALLY didn't want to disappoint Tigress so much, he would've quit soon after SHE did!" Johnny Krill comes in, rings a gong, and he says: "Attention contestants! At the last challenge, we lost our last former champ, Bubble Bass! The time for eating breakfast, is over! Please come to the Moat, to find out about today's challenge, that is all!" Dudley asks: "Just one question, do you HAVE to ring that gong EVERY time?!" Johnny says: "Especially THIS time! You'll find out why when you go to the Moat!" Po looks at the rest of his food, and he says: "Well, no sense letting this food go to waste!" And he devours the rest of it as fast as he possibly can! (Confessional) Dudley says: "Well, the mystery of the gong is solved!" / Po says: "Normally, losing a challenge should be EASY! It's making the loss look CONVINCING, that's going to be the HARD part to sell to Tigress!" / Buhdeuce winces, and he says: "Why do I suddenly have the SINKING feeling that today's challenge, the challenge where we SHOULD eliminate Po, is going to be FAR much harder than it should be?" / Marlene says: "Look; by all rights, Tigress really SHOULD be the one to be here right now! She was by FAR the strongest out of all of us! But since she's not, I have to do what I need to do, just as much as everyone else! And that's a prospect, that I definitely don't take too lightly!" (End Confessional) The contestants head to the Moat, only to find Sniz once AGAIN dressed up like a Chinese Emperor, and Sniz says: "Welcome to the mystical moat, where floats the most delicate Cherry Blossom flowers, and where a stone pebble can create a ripple that eventually touches every other connected body of water on Earth!" General Barracuda asks: "Care to tell me WHY you're talking like that?" Sniz says: "I was trying to channel Confucious and Buddha! Technically speaking, I should've tried to say it in an Oriental accent, but they're is no WAY I'm going to risk insulting around 2 billion people, give or take!" Spongebob says: "Good call!" Sniz says: "In any case, there's a good reason why I'm dressed like this today! We're going to be dealing with a Chinese related Legend! Olmec, tell us what today's legend is!"

Olmec says: "Today's legend, is the Legend of The Lost Terra Cotta Statue of Emperor Qin (Chin) Shi Huang!" Yakkity asks: "Hey! What was with the parentheses?!" Sniz says: "That's for the benefit of our viewing audience, to know how to actually SAY his first name!" Marlene says: "Now THAT'S what I call 'Anti-Frustration Features'!" And Po gulps in nervousness! (Confessional) Po says: "Oh, MAN!!!! It was already going to be hard ENOUGH as it was, trying to lose in a challenge; but since this is going to be a challenge completely REVOLVING around China where I LIVE, it's going to be practically IMPOSSIBLE for me to lose! I have to wonder WHOSE bright idea it WAS to SCHEDULE this challenge RIGHT now?!" / Johnny Krill says: "Come ON!!!! It's not MY fault! I had to help Sniz schedule these challenges in ADVANCE!!!! I had no way of knowing if Po was STILL going to be here, or that he would WANT to lose! He's still perfectly able to DO so! He's just going to have to try HARDER!" / Marlene says: "It really is AMAZING just how META this show has gotten!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "In any case, one of the long time food staples of the Chinese, especially over 2,000 years ago, was rice! So for today's Moat Crossing challenge, you will each be rowing a Chinese River Boat across the Moat! And each Chinese River Boat contains a full sack of rice! It's your job to make sure the Sack of Rice gets across with you to the other side of the Moat intact! Once you have finished crossing, you will ring your Gong pedestal to indicate that you have finished! Once again, where you finish, will help determine who you get paired up with! And, since rice is often grown in a China Grove, we will play The Doobie Brother's hit song 'China Grove', sung by The Real Breadwinners, to help motivate you in this challenge!" Johnny Krill says: "Uh, that's NOT what the hit song 'China Grove' was originally about!" General Barracuda says: "And I'M surprised you're even smart enough to KNOW that!" Sniz says: "Look, if you don't like it, go on the Internet and COMPLAIN; like all the TROLLS do!" Buhdeuce says: "I HATE trolls! Totally tore down MY show without even really giving it a chance!" Sniz says: "All right, everybody get into your positions! You are competing for a Pendant of Life! On your marks, get set, GO!" / Everybody takes off across the Moat, and while everyone else is focused on rowing, Po keeps getting distracted and actually EATING the (surprisingly) cooked rice in his sack of rice! /

The Real Breadwinners (Sway-Sway) sings: "When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town down around The Yangtze, and the folks are risin' for another day, 'round about their homes. The people of the town are strange, and they're proud of where they came! Well, you're talkin' 'bout China Grove! Oh, China Grove! Well, the preacher and the teacher; man, they're a caution! They are the talk of the town! When the gossip gets to flyin', and they ain't lyin' when the sun goes fallin' down! They say that the father's insane, And dear Mrs. Tigress loves a game! We're talkin' 'bout the China Grove! Oh, China Grove! But every day, there's a new thing comin'; the ways of an Oriental view! The police and their buddies with their Katana swords, you can even hear the music at night! And though it's a part of their history, some people don't seem to care! They just keep on lookin' to the East! Talkin' 'bout the China Grove! Oh, China Grove! Woah! China Grove!" / And the song ends as the challenge ends! Sniz says: "Okay, everybody has finished crossing! I just need to check your sacks of rice to make sure that your placing is legitimate!" Spongebob shows a full sack of rice, Marlene shows a full sack of rice, Buhdeuce shows a full sack of rice, Dudley shows a full sack of rice, Yakkity shows a full sack of rice; Po opens his sack up, and doesn't FIND any rice left! Po says: "Uh, I guess, I ate it!" Johnny looks exasperated, as if even HE can't believe THAT flimsy excuse, and Johnny says: "You GUESS you ate it?! You LITERALLY have rice grains all over your FACE!!!!" And as Po brushes the rice grains off of his face, Sniz says: "Well, in any case, Marlene and Buhdeuce have won a Pendant of Life by finishing in first place! Spongebob and Yakkity are competing together by placing 3rd and 4th! And Dudley will be placed with Po since they finished in 5th and 6th! And Po? I am sorry, but since you DIDN'T finish the challenge with a full sack of rice, I'm AFRAID I'm going to have to hit you with a Penalty Vote! I'm sorry but, rules are rules!" Po says: "Oh! That's...something I can live with!" (Confessional) Dudley says: "Po, doesn't seem to concerned about the news! What is UP with that?!" / Po says: "I wasn't even THINKING about how the Penalty Vote Rule is still in play! I still have a realistic chance to LOSE this!" Than Po winces, and says: "Please...delete THAT comment BEFORE Tigress has a chance to see it!" (End Confessional)

Sniz says: "We've got to get everybody cleaned up and tidied up! But be sure to come back to see some MORE of Total Cartoon Legends!" / (Commercial Break) / The contestants gather at the Steps of Knowledge. Dudley turns to Po, and Dudley says: "Honestly Po, what were you THINKING; eating a sack of rice like that?!" Po says: "Well, it smelled so good! And it was delicious! Besides, do I LOOK like the type of Panda who would let a perfectly cooked meal of food go to waste?!" Yakkity looks at Po, and Yakkity says: "Not from MY perspective, you don't! And I mean that in the NICEST way possible!" Po, confused, says: "Thank you?" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "Mostly, I like my jokes to be based on the TRUTH whenever possible! And honestly, I'm not afraid if it's mostly at my OWN expense! I'm probably more comfortable of making fun of my button-up fur and impossibly skinny frame of my body, than anything else! After all, if you can't OCCASIONALLY laugh at yourself, what CAN you laugh it?!" / Po says: "Eating a sack of rice ISN'T what bothers me at all! What bothers me is, I wonder who in their right mind COOKED my sack of rice in the first place?!" / Johnny Krill sighs, and he says: "Look! I made a simple MISTAKE, all right?! When Sniz told me he needed SIX sacks of rice for the Moat Challenge, I realized that I had already cooked ONE sack of rice, intending it for breakfast! I didn't want to BOTHER Sniz, so I also used the one I already cooked, and I hoped nobody would notice! I should have KNOWN that I could NEVER sneak any COOKED food past Po's nose! And I mean that in the NICEST way possible!" (End Confessional) Spongebob turns to Yakkity, and Spongebob says: "Yakkity, do you think we have a chance to beat Po in the Steps Of Knowledge?" Yakkity says: "I would think we actually have MORE of a chance, because we both WANT it more than Po! Besides, I know that you don't want to actually vote Po OFF, so winning is your best INCENTIVE for making that happen!" Spongebob says: "Good point!"

(Confessional) Yakkity says: "Another thing I've noticed about jokes, is about where you are in relation to where such an event takes place! For example, if you're far enough away from an event; you don't feel such an attachment to it, so it's probably easier for you to make a joke! However, I HIGHLY doubt I could make fun of MOST of the contestants I've met on this show! I'm on friendly terms with WAY too many of them! Maybe there are some OTHER comedians who wouldn't have a problem with that, but I don't think that I am one of them!" / Spongebob says: "Look, I admit that I messed up when it came to Bulma's elimination! I thought she would NEVER vote herself off and keep her word, so I thought I was honestly doing the right thing! But the truth of the matter is, I did what would be called 'The Wrong Thing For the Right Reasons'. I eliminated Bulma on the basis that it's what I SHOULD have done back in season three, if I KNEW everything there was to know about Bulma BEFORE season three occurred! And...it never occurred to me that Bulma had the same capacity to change as I did! I...guess sometimes, even I can act like Squidward has when I don't really MEAN to! But I don't have to let that mistake define who I truly AM! I think I can let that mistake be a reminder, that I always have ROOM for improvement, and strive to be all the better BECAUSE of it!" (End Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "Marlene, what do you think our chances are of winning the Steps Of Knowledge?" Marlene says: "Ordinarily, I WOULD say, 'Pretty good', given that I've actually BEEN to China back in season three! However, I REFUSE to jinx myself and get us BOTH into 'Tempting Fate'! So, we'll just have to deal with this challenge WITHOUT any preconceived notions of winning!" (Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "I guess it's a good thing Marlene decided to team up with me! Without her, I might have muddled up the whole deal with misplaced optimism!" / Marlene says: "Don't get me wrong! A little optimism never hurt ANYBODY! But too much of it could be outright suicidal, when it comes to facing some of the HARSH realities of life! I think it's a good rule of thumb, to prepare for the worst, but ALWAYS hope for the best!" (End Confessional)

Sniz finally arrives in all his Chinese Emperor regalia, and Dudley asks: "Are you going to wear that through the WHOLE episode?!" Sniz says: "Maybe. Is that a CRIME?!" Dudley says: "Of course not! Just wondering!" (Confessional) Dudley says: "Sheesh! Can't even ask a simple QUESTION anymore without rattling someone's nerves! I wonder if this is how Chameleon felt prior to becoming friends with me? I should ask him once I see him again!" / Sniz says: "It took me FOUR hours to get this look! Of COURSE I'm going to parade in it for as long as I can! After all, when ELSE am I going to get a chance to look like this again?! There's not EXACTLY a lot of opportunities for ME to do something like that!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "In any case, it's time to listen to Olmec, as he tells about the Legend of the Lost Terra Cotta Statue of Emperor Qin (Chin) Shi Huang!" Johnny Krill says: "He will START at the beginning! And when he gets to the end, he'll stop! See how that works?!" General Barracuda sarcastically says: "HOW obvious!"

Olmec says: "Shi Huangdi, otherwise known in English as Qin (Chin) Shi Huang, was born on January 21, 259 B.C.E., in the Ancient Chinese State of Zhao, in its capital of Handan. Initially born as Ying Zheng to the King and Queen of the Ancient Chinese State/Kingdom of Qin, Qin Shi Huang ascended to the throne of the kingdom, after the death of his father in 246 B.C.E., at just 13 years of age! Nine years later, Qin Shi Huang gained full power of his Kingdom in 235 B.C.E.! Not content with having just control over his own Kingdom, Qin waged war against the other warring states of Ancient China! Despite only living for 49 years, there were many coup and/or assassination attempts on him during his life! Regardless of the attempts, one by one, the other states of Ancient China fell to Qin's military might! The State of Han in 230 B.C.E., the State of Zhao in 228 B.C.E., the state of Yan in 226 B.C.E., the state of Wei in 225 B.C.E., the state of Chu in 223 B.C.E., and the state of Qi in 221 B.C.E.! Upon uniting all of Ancient China under one rule, Qin (Chin) Shi Huang gave himself a new title; Shi Huangdi! Literally, 'First Emperor'! The rule of Emperors would continue on through future dynasties, up until 1911 A.C.E.! Despite the military campaigns, Emperor Qin did introduce many improvements in Chinese life! First, he completely did aware with Feudalism, and made all future job employments be based on merit, not family lineage! He standardized the Chinese units of measurements, such as weight, currency, and the length of axles for carts! He also developed an extensive road and canal system between his provinces, to improve trade relations between them! More importantly, he standardized the Chinese script of the Chinese people, which is still in use today! But perhaps Emperor Qin's most enduring legacy, is that he commissioned a precursor to The Great Wall of China, to protect it's people from nomadic invaders, although little of the Qin section of the wall remains today! In 215 B.C.E., Emperor Qin ordered an exotic tomb, to be built in the event of his death! 6,000 Terra Cotta Statues, including one of Emperor Qin, were built into the tomb! Emperor Qin died sometime during August of 210 B.C.E., and his Terra Cotta Statue, vanished to the mists of time, until it found it's way to the Temple! Your job is to retrieve the Statue, and bring it back here!"

Sniz says: "Thanks, Olmec! Where can the Lost Terra Cotta Statue of Emperor Qin (Chin) Shi Huang be found?" Olmec says: "The Lost Terra Cotta Statue can be found, in the Snake Maze!" Sniz says: "All right! You all know what to do, you're competing for a Pendant of Life! Olmec, take it away!" Olmec asks: "What was the birth name, of Emperor Qin (Chin) Shi Huang?" Buhdeuce rings in, and Marlene answers: "Ying Zheng!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" Buhdeuce and Marlene move down a step, and he says: "Who KNEW that one guy could have so MANY different names?!" Marlene says: "Try asking Sean 'Puffy' Combs or WHATEVER name he's currently going by that question!" Olmec asks: "When was Emperor Qin (Chin) Shi Huang believed to be born?" Spongebob rings in, and Yakkity answers: "On January 21, 259 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" Spongebob and Yakkity move down a step! Yakkity says: "I can't BELIEVE they don't know the EXACT date for that!" Spongebob says: "Well, hindsight is always 20/20, as they like to say!" Olmec asks: "Where was Emperor Qin (Chin) Shi Huang born?" Dudley rings in, and answers: "In the Ancient Chinese State of Zhao, in its capital of Handan!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Dudley and Po move down a step! Dudley says: "Come on! Partnered with YOU, we should ALREADY be at the bottom of the Steps by now!" Po says: "Come on! You know how STRONG I am! I just don't want to take the chance of accidentally BREAKING a buzzer, and racking up penalty votes!" Johnny Krill says: "Technically speaking, he's NOT wrong! Destruction of Studio Property on these premises WOULD result in a penalty vote!" Dudley groans, and says: "FINE! I'll answer the questions myself!" And Po actually SWEATS nervously! Olmec asks: "When did Qin (Chin) Shi Huang ascend to the throne of the Kingdom of Qin?" Buhdeuce rings in, and Marlene answers: "In 246 B.C.E., at 13 years of age!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Marlene and Buhdeuce move down a step! Buhdeuce says: "I sure hope HISTORY buffs are getting MORE from Olmec's knowledge than PO is!" Marlene says: "Are you kidding?! Most of the history BEHIND these legends practically made up the bulk of MY Elementary School history education!"

Olmec asks: "When did Qin (Chin) Shi Huang fully gain control of his Kingdom?" Spongebob rings in, and Yakkity answers: "In 235 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Yakkity move down a step! Spongebob says: "I'm SURPRISED that you're GOOD at this!" Yakkity says: "Well, to be fair, yaks WERE originally native to Asia!" Olmec asks: "True or False, there were many assassination attempts on Qin (Chin) Shi Huang's life?" Dudley rings in and says: "True!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Dudley and Po move down a step! Dudley asks: "You're REALLY going to make ME do ALL the work?!" Po says: "Come ON! When you say it like that, you sound as though you're trying to make me a BAD guy!" Dudley says: "Than prove that you're NOT, and actually DO something!" Than Po feels a RUMBLE in his tummy and Po says: "Uh-oh! I gotta DO something pretty quick!" Dudley says: "Po, you are NOT leaving until we finish this challenge! Can't you HOLD it?!" Po nervously says: "Well, not for LONG!!!!" Dudley groans, and he says: "Fine, make it QUICK!!!!" Po says: "Thank you!" And Po HURRIES to the restroom, and Sniz says: "HEY!!!! You can't LEAVE during the middle of a challenge; that counts as a PENALTY vote!" Johnny sighs, and he says: "It's all that STUPID rice he ate earlier! That Panda needs to learn some self-control for his eating habits! Even Bubble Bass did SOME of that!" Sniz says: "Well, we got to finish this! Next correct answer is for a Pendant of Life!" Olmec says: "When was China finally united under Qin Shi Huang's rule?" Spongebob rings in and answers: "221 B.C.E.!" Olmec says: "That is correct!" And Spongebob and Yakkity move to the bottom of the Steps! Sniz says: "Spongebob and Yakkity made it down the Steps of Knowledge! They get a Pendant of Life!" Yakkity says: "Awesome! I KNEW acing all of those history lessons would ONE day pay off!" Spongebob says: "Don't count your eggs JUST yet, Yakkity! We've got to win the Challenge Arena BEFORE we can even THINK about celebrating!" Yakkity says: "Good call!" Po runs back in, and he says: "What did I miss?!" Dudley face-palms himself, and he says: "Helping me WIN!!!! If YOU had helped, we'd be sitting pretty in the Elimination Ceremony, COMPLAINING about having nothing to do!" Po says: "Well, I CAN'T control when my body NEEDS to go to the restroom! I mean, when you got to, you GOT to!"

Dudley groans, and he says: "You are SO lucky that I am NOT able to argue with THAT!" (Confessional) Dudley says: "You would THINK that as SMART as we are, we would've figured out a way to evolve BEYOND needing to go to the bathroom by now!" / Po says: "To my knowledge, the only one I know of who has COMPLETE control over HER body, is Tigress! And even I don't know HOW she does it!" / Johnny shakes his head, and he says: "It's kind of sad to know that Bubble Bass has MORE self-control than Po does, however LITTLE it might be!" / Yakkity says: "My grandma always told me that learning history would pay off SOME day! It's certainly starting to, now!" / Spongebob says: "I've competed on this show long enough to know that you don't celebrate a victory, until AFTER you've actually won it! I'm not jinxing ANYTHING this time!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "Okay, it's time to move on to the Challenge Arena! From as early as the Seventh Century B.C.E. to 1644 A.C.E., various Dynasties under various rulers, built what would become the Great Wall of China! Collectively, the Wall stretches for a total distance of 13,170.7 miles in length! Luckily, your task won't be quite as hard! Each group will work together, to build a scaled down replica of the Great Wall of China! You all have up to 13,170 bricks, one for each FULL mile of the wall, to work with! Your job is to build a wall of up to 1.317 miles in length! And NO, the wall CAN'T be just one brick high; the wall has to be at least five bricks high in order to count as a wall! So, whichever group builds the most complete scaled-down replica of the Great Wall of China, will receive a Pendant of Life! If it's Dudley and Po, we WILL have to resort to a tie-breaker question! Hopefully, it won't have to come to that! And, whoever gets to go to the Temple AND complete the Temple Run, will receive a reward! While we don't have the budget or the resources to send you to China, we went with the NEXT best thing! Johnny, tell them what it is!" Johnny Krill says: "You'll be going to a place that inspired a 1971 movie, as well as a line that we can't repeat or else we'd LOSE our PG rating! It's China Town, located in scenic downtown, Los Angeles! China Town, it's not just for Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway anymore!"

Buhdeuce nervously asks: "Marlene, they wouldn't try to eat a DUCK in the China Town of Los Angeles, would they?" Marlene says: "I couldn't honestly say. But either way, I'd protect YOU from getting eaten!" Buhdeuce says: "Thank you, I feel SO much better!" (Confessional) Buhdeuce says: "Listen! Potentially getting eaten by monsters on Pondgea is ONE thing! Getting eaten by potentially amoral humans? TOTALLY different ball park!" / Marlene says: "One thing's for sure; if anybody TRIED to eat me, Skipper would be on them SO fast, it might LITERALLY make their heads spin!" (End Confessional) Yakkity excitedly says: "Ooh, China Town! My Grandma often likes to shop and eat there! Do you think we can win it, Spongebob?! It would be SO great to get to see HER again!" Spongebob says: "Of course! You don't even really HAVE to ask! I would be honored to help you win the reward!" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "Hopefully, Gordon Quid WON'T be running whichever restaurant we end up going to!" / Spongebob says: "While the reward is a nice incentive, I would help Yakkity even WITHOUT the promise of a reward; mostly because I consider him a good friend!" (End Confessional) Po scoffs, and he says: "That reward is probably over-rated anyways! You can't beat REAL Chinese food cuisine!" Dudley says: "I could care LESS about the authenticity of the menus! A reward is a reward! And IF the reward doesn't seem up to par, I'm SURE we can get a cash equivalent instead so we can go on our OWN trip later!" Po says: "Yes, you ARE correct on THAT account!" (Confessional) Po says: "Lucky for me, I was born a NOODLE Maker, NOT a brick layer! Building is NOT one of my strength's!" / Dudley sighs, and he says: "What's the POINT of BEING with the Dragon Warrior if he DOESN'T use the full extent of his abilities?! I bet TIGRESS never has THIS type of trouble!" (End Confessional) Sniz says: "All right! Everybody get into positions, and to inspire you; we'll play Paul Simon's hit song, 'Something So Right'. If you're wondering why, you'll find out soon enough! Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

While everybody else manages to lay their bricks just fine, Po keeps accidentally BREAKING the bricks with his immense strength, making Dudley's wall be FAR shorter than it SHOULD be! / Paul Simon sings: "You've got the cool water, when the fever runs high. You've got the look of love light in your eyes. And I was in a crazy motion, til you calmed me down. It took a little time, but you calmed me down. When something goes wrong, I'm the first to admit it. I'm the first to admit it, but the last one to know. When something goes right, well it's likely to lose me. It's apt to confuse me, because it's such an unusual sight. I can't get used to something so right. Something so right. They've got a wall in China, it's a thousand miles long. To keep out the foreigners, they made it strong. And I've got a wall around me, that you can't even see. It took a little time, to get next to me. When something goes wrong, I'm the first to admit it. I'm the first to admit it, but the last one to know. When something goes right, well it's likely to lose me. It's apt to confuse me, because it's such an unusual sight. I can't get used to something so right. Something so right. Some people never say the words, 'I love you', it's not their style to be so bold. Some people never say those words, 'I love you'. But like a child, they're longing to be told. When something goes wrong, I'm the first to admit it. I'm the first to admit it, but the last one to know. When something goes right, well it's likely to lose me. It's apt to confuse me, because it's such an unusual sight. I can't get used to something so right. Something so right." / And the song ends as the challenge ends! Sniz says: "Okay! The challenge is over, it's time to reveal how much of a wall each group built! Marlene and Buhdeuce built a wall that's .656 miles in length! Spongebob and Yakkity built a wall that's .971 miles in length! And SOMEHOW, Dudley and Po ONLY built a wall that's .439 miles in length!" Dudley groans, and says: "Blame SUPER Strength Po! He kept BREAKING most of the bricks!" Po says: "It's not MY fault they don't make bricks the way they USED to!" Sniz says: "Well, for breaking challenge material; even IF it was accidental, results in ANOTHER penalty vote! And, it looks like Spongebob and Yakkity built the most complete wall, so they're going to the Temple! Everyone else's fates will be decided once they've finished their Temple Run! Now, it's time to decide who gets to go first!"

Yakkity says: "I'll go first!" Sniz says: "In that case, Spongebob will go second! Now, Map will detail how to get through the Temple as Olmec tells us about what's inside of him THIS time!" Map says: "I'm on it!" / And Map's visual information fills in, as Olmec tells about the contents of the Temple! Olmec says: "First, you will start by entering the Mummy's Crypt! Pull on the right tablet, but beware of the Temple Guard! Next, go on the Ledge, and knock over the Column, which will allow you to enter the Observatory! Spin the Sundial, than head into the Secret Chamber! Push on the right statue head, than head into the Hall of Armor! Place yourself into the correct suit of armor, than head into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the Monkey in the correct order, and head into the Emperor's Chamber! Smash the Clay Pots to find the key, and slide down into the Mountain Crevasse! Smash the Stone Wall, and find yourself in the Snake Maze, where you can grab the Lost Terra Cotta Statue of Emperor Qin (Chin) Shi Huang! Make your way through the Maze, than head into the Room of Paintings! Place yourself against the right painting, than head into the Room of Panels! Match the panels of each side of the ladder, than head back through the Pit! Climb through the Cave of Sighs, and back to the Temple Entrance! The choices are yours, and yours alone! Good luck!" Sniz says: "Okay! This is for a reward and IMMUNITY! Yakkity, get into your position! Olmec, lower the gate!" And Olmec groans as he lowers his steel gate! Sniz says: "Let's put three minutes on the clock! On your marks, get set, GO!!!!" /

And as Yakkity takes off, Sniz narrates the action as he goes along! / Sniz says: "Yakkity is in the Mummy's Crypt, and a Temple Guard, right off the bat! He gives up his pendant, and he's on the Ledge!" And Yakkity makes a burp SO loud, he causes the column to FALL down with just his sound! Sniz says: "Unusual, but we'll allow it! Saves some time! Up to the Observatory! He's got to spin the Sundial, and he's done it! Down into the Secret Chamber! He's got to find the right statue! Found a shortcut to the Ledge, and he's found it! Into the Hall of Armor! Got to put on the right suit of armor! Another Temple Guard! Go, Spongebob, go! Through the Mummy's Crypt! Across the Ledge! Through the short-cut that Yakkity found into the Secret Chamber! Now Spongebob's in the Hall of Armor! And he's found the right suit! Into the Shrine of The Silver Monkey! It's Johnny Krill as a Temple Guard! Spongebob gives up his Pendant, and now he's got to assemble the Monkey! He's got the base, he's got the stomach, and he has the head! It connects! Into the Emperor's Chamber! He's got to smash the clay pots to find the key, and he's found it! Down he slides into the Mountain Crevasse! He's got to break through the Stone Wall, and he's done it! He's in the Snake Maze! He's making his way, and he's got the Terra Cotta Statue! All the doors are open! He's making it through the Room of Paintings, through the Room of Panels, back through the Pit! Now, he's got to climb through the Cave of Sighs, and Spongebob has made it, with 24 seconds to spare! Spongebob and Yakkity win the reward to China Town in Los Angeles, and Immunity! They will get to go on their trip, as soon as we find out who will be eliminated tonight!" (Confessional) Yakkity says: "I always knew I could count on Spongebob in a pinch! That guy can really come through for you when it matters the most!" / Spongebob says: "Mostly, I feel good knowing that Po's elimination won't be MY fault at all! Honestly, he kind of brought it on himself; however intentional or UNINTENTIONAL it was!" (End Confessional) It is night-time, and everyone is at the Elimination Ceremony.

Sniz has finally changed out of his Chinese Emperor regalia! Sniz says: "Comfortable, it might have been! But MAN! There is just no AIR flow in those ancient clothes! Anyways, you know why you're here! You are the Final Six, but soon you will be the Final Five! You will cast your votes! Po, you already HAVE three penalty votes, so you will need at LEAST three other contestants AND you to not vote for you in order to be safe! Whichever contestant has the most votes, will be eliminated from the contest! And they cannot return, EVER! With that being said, VOTE!!!!" And the contestants quickly make their choices! Sniz says: "Voting is over, it's time to reveal who is safe! Spongebob, Marlene, Buhdeuce, Yakkity!" And it comes down to Dudley and Po, who are the only two contestants left! Sniz says: "Only one chocolate Pendant of Life left! And since he has the magical gift to actually ENJOY it, the chocolate Pendant goes to...Dudley!" And Po actually breathes a sigh of relief! Dudley asks: "Are you...actually HAPPY that you're eliminated?!" Po says: "Honestly? Yes! You might not know, but it takes real SKILL for me to hold back the FULL extent of my strength! I'll actually be HAPPY to not hold back so much, now that I'm out of the competition, and everything!" Marlene says: "I'd be more worried about how you're going to explain THIS to Tigress! I don't think she's going to be all too happy, if your elimination LAST time was any indication!" Po groans, and he says: "Well, I'll deal with it with the time comes, and take all the blame that inevitably comes MY way!" Buhdeuce says: "Thank you, I feel SO much better!" Spongebob says: "And if it's any consolation, we WILL see you at the Finale in not too long!" Yakkity says: "So, at least you have THAT to look forward to!" General Barracuda asks: "Just one question; HOW are we supposed to MOVE Po on the Mine Cart of Shame?! He WEIGHS like 800 POUNDS!!!!" Po groans, and he says: "How many times does it have to be SAID?! I only weigh 776 pounds, and most of it is muscle, anyways!" General Barracuda says: "Still too much for the Mine Cart of Shame!" Johnny Krill says: "Not if you use the Afterburners! If they can power a Saturn V Rocket to the Moon, it can DEFINITELY move a panda!" Sniz says: "Than it will be YOUR job to make the 'Launch' go smoothly!" Po puts on his helmet, and straps himself into the Mine Cart of Shame!

Sniz says: "Are you ready, Olmec?" Olmec says: "Ready, Sniz!" Sniz says: "Than 3, 2, 1, BLAST-OFF!!!!" And the Mine Cart fires up, only to SPUTTER and stop only a few inches after moving! Johnny Krill groans and says: "Come on! AGAIN?!!! I thought I fixed that issue the LAST time!!!!" And Johnny goes to check the afterburners from the back, only for the camera to pan over to General Barracuda, who's standing by a SUSPICIOUSLY removed power cord! He plugs it back in, and says: "OOPS!!!!" (BOOM!!!!) And the afterburners kick back in and burn OFF all of Johnny Krill's clothes AGAIN, leaving him a charred mess as Po rockets down the Mine Cart Rails, and through the Mine Shaft of Losers! Johnny Krill groans, and says: "Was THAT take-off REALLY necessary?! I really lose MORE clothes that way!" General Barracuda says: "Don't hate the player, hate the game!" Sniz says: "And speaking of game, our game is really winding down, now! We are down to the Final Five! Spongebob, Marlene, Buhdeuce, Dudley, and Yakkity! Anyone of them have the potential to become the ultimate legend of this season, but only ONE will get to win up to $44.44 million! We will be one step closer to finding out the answer, on the next episode of Total Cartoon Legends!" Olmec says: "And remember, the journey of 1,000 miles, begins with a single step!" /

Stinger: Spongebob and Yakkity are enjoying their reward at a Chinese, China Town Restaurant Buffet, and they are joined by Yakkity's Grandma! Yakkity joyfully hugs her, and he says: "Grandma, you CAME!!!!" Yakkity's Grandma says: "Of course I did! I couldn't resist getting the chance to see my BOUBALA come here on a reward trip, so close to the Final Three!" Spongebob asks: "Boubala?" Yakkity says: "It's a term of endearment from her HOME country, so she says!" Yakkity's Grandma says: "And I understand you've made some GREAT friends like...Sponge Boy!" Spongebob says: "It's Spongebob; still a common mistake for SOME people! But yes, I do intend to help Yakkity as best as I can!" Gordon Quid comes in, and he says: "And I'll be excited to see how you do!" Yakkity groans, and he says: "PLEASE tell me you don't RUN this restaurant!" Gordon says: "Relax! For once, I'm not working! I'm OFF the job, and I'm GOING to enjoy a fine meal! I wonder what MY Fortune Cookie has in store for me today?!" Gordon opens up his Fortune Cookie, and he reads it out loud, and says: "Your car will be crushed by a random Mine Cart?" (CRASH!!!!) Spongebob groans, and he says: "That BETTER not be what I think it is!" And Spongebob, Yakkity, Yakkity's Grandma, and Gordon all run out ONLY to find that Gordon's Limo has been CRUSHED by the Mine Cart that Po has been riding in! Gordon groans, and he yells: "COME ON!!!! I didn't even OWN the restaurant THIS time!" Po says: "Cut me some SLACK! At least I didn't actually BREAK something of a restaurant that you OWNED! I THINK that's making progress!" Yakkity says: "Gordon, you have my word that if I win SOME amount of prize money, I will use it to reimburse you, so you can get a brand new limo!" Gordon says: "Thank you, I feel SO much better!" Spongebob says: "MAN! Those Chinese Fortunes these days are starting to get WAY too accurate for their own good!" Yakkity's Grandma says: "You said it, Spongebob!" /

While in seasons 3 and 4A, he worked well with Tigress due to the both of them getting eliminated rather close together. But since Po's role this season involved him lasting significantly longer than Tigress, Po thankfully had Taotie to bounce off of, to help Taotie on his road to redemption, and becoming a real friend to them! Try as I did, Po didn't really have much going for him once Taotie got eliminated! So, by Po discovering that Yakkity had a legitimate reason for being there, as opposed to Po's goal of avenging Tigress; Po decided that Yakkity's need was greater than Po's, and Po decided to leave the competition, in order to help Yakkity try to achieve his need. I hope you enjoyed reading this episode, as much as I did writing it. Enough said, true believers!

6. Ohana (Family)

 

After a long night of slaying lava creatures alongside his partner, SpongeBob, Koamalu was in another deep slumber. Each night his dreaming was becoming more lucid, although he’s been experiencing the same dream as before where he saw himself in a vibrant background with a variety of different flashing colors and the sound of a voice unfamiliar to him, but with different fragments of his memories being revealed to him. Things still appeared to be a blur to the sleeping sea dragon. While we can now remember the voice calling to him, he still couldn’t make out the face of this character that he’s been communicating with.

“It’s so nice to be speaking with you again, Koamalu.” The voice spoke, feminine in tone.

“But I still don’t know who you are and why I’ve been hearing your voice…” Koamalu said.

“I’ve been telling you, this will all make more sense the more that we meet,” the voice continued. “I only have the power to enter your dreams and provide you more lost memories about yourself a few at a time. Now tell me, Koamalu, what do you see?”

Mental images of Enakai began to fill Koamalu’s mind and so he responded to the voice after a brief silence, “I see Enakai again. He’s been in my life for the longest time, but I’ve been thinking that’s been hiding something from me as well, and I need to know what it is that he’s hiding from me.”

 

“I wouldn’t get your head wrapped too much around that. I do have one question to ask, though. What does Enakai mean to you?” The voice inquired.

“He’s the one person that I know that I’ve considered as family. I trust him because there’s no else that I know to trust until I met other people like SpongeBob. Although, after regaining memories about myself, and they all had little to do with Enakai…my mind’s been in a blur.”

 

“I understand how you feel. Have ever thought about where you really came from.”

Koamalu thought hard on that question for a moment and responded with a firm “No.”

 

“Have you ever thought about where Enakai came from?”

“I’ve been realizing that he’s from a world that’s different from my own. Where I come from is something that I’d really want to know, and why we became family.”

 

“I’m sure you’ll find out those answers by talking to him if you can reach the pocket dimension that he houses in. I won’t be able to lend some more information to you there since time doesn’t move in those realms, and I should warn you about how Enakai’s dimension disregards the passage of time since time can still move freely where you are now.”

 

“Can you at least tell me more about Enakai now before I enter his dimension?”

 

“You and your friend are pursuing the Lava King, who came from the past, correct? Enakai exists from the future. These two are connected to you because-“

 

Before Koamalu could be able to hear the rest of the explanation, he reappeared inside Sandy’s lodging with SpongeBob after a rude awakening from Mr. Krabs, who was outside the hut, yelling for him, SpongeBob, and Sandy to step out.

 

“Come on out and get to work, all of you slackers!” Mr. Krabs exclaimed. “SpongeBob, Sandy, and…the other feller, whatshisname, the Lava King needs ye!”

 

“What’s going on? It must be very important,” the half-asleep SpongeBob said.

 

Sandy walked out of her hut to approach Mr. Krabs with cracks in her eyes, and fired back at him, saying, “Well, I’m not coming out! I’m in the middle of reaching a scientific breakthrough!”

 

“I don’t care, the Lava King needs ye to help build this island in his image,” Mr. Krabs replied. “It’s his orders, so you’ll have to do what he says.”

 

“Since when did you care about that good-for-nothing tyrant?” Sandy asked. “I ain’t postponing my work to follow his rules!”

 

“You don’t want to turn into stone do ye? Well, neither would I, so get your captain’s quarters out of here and quit worrying about your fancy science project!”

 

“Oh, I know how it is, huh. The Lava King suddenly decided to make you the boss of all of us, but I’m more worried about not being able to find a solution to this problem than I am about turning into stone!” As Sandy continued to protest, Mr. Krabs dragged away from the hut by the tail with his pinchers. “Hey, let me go! Don’t forget, I know karate!”

 

SpongeBob and Koamalu saw the commotion between the two creatures as they stepped out of the hut.

 

“Golly, Mr. Krabs isn’t acting like himself,” SpongeBob remarked.

 

“What about Sandy?” Koamalu asked.

 

“I know Sandy can get aggressive sometimes, but it’s clear that she’s been overworking herself, so she could use some time away from her science,” SpongeBob replied.

 

It wasn’t long until Sandy used her karate skills to flip Mr. Krabs over before he touched down onto the ground. While the crustacean was too stunned to get up, Sandy walked over to SpongeBob and said, “SpongeBob, the Lava King is pushing us to do his dirty work, but somehow, Mr. Krabs is involved with this scheme of his, so now I’m unable to continue inventing a solution to this space-time disruption! King Neptune gave you and that other critter some sort of powers, so surely you can use that to do something about all this!”

 

“We’re trying Sandy, but we aren’t quite at the point where we can fix this problem,” SpongeBob responded. “It’s that we just need some more time is all.”

 

“Well, can’t you see that we’re running out of time!?” Sandy argued. “That hole in the sky is going to keep expanding until it wipes us out!”

 

“I must go back…to sleep…I need to know more….about Enakai…” Koamalu said drowsily, his head slumping against SpongeBob’s.

 

“We’ll have to talk about this later, Sandy,” SpongeBob finished before pulling Koamalu straight towards the cafeteria hut. “Just give us a few days and we might be able to bring Bikini Bottom back to the way it was.”

 

SpongeBob and Koamalu started their usual daily shift in serving soup to the other inhabitants. However, Koamalu was dozing off more and more during these work shifts, so SpongeBob had to push a little effort into making him look like he’s working whenever the Lava King was around to survey them. Taking notice of the news about the Lava King tightening up his rules, the Bikini Bottom citizens looked unhappier when SpongeBob gave each of them their helpings for the day, Sandy especially.

 

“I know you’re mad, but you need a break from the science for once,” said SpongeBob. When he presented the squirrel with her bowl of soup, she chugged it down her throat in less than 10 seconds.

 

“How can I relax when the darn Lava King is going to even prevent me from continuing my work?” Sandy responded. “I’ve been committed to figuring out a solution, and so far, I haven’t gotten close!”

 

“That’s why you got to trust me and Koamalu, Sandy Squirrel,” SpongeBob replied.

“It’s ‘Cheeks’,” the squirrel corrected with a stern tone.

 

“Yes, right, my apologies. I’ve been hard at work too, so I haven’t been thinking certain things straight. Look, I know you may not take a liking towards him, but Koamalu is going to be the key towards bringing us back to Bikini Bottom.” When SpongeBob saw the ground beneath him get warm, he stood on the counter until the lava subsided, signaling the end of his and Koamalu’s shift. The burning hot sensation of the floor beneath the sleeping sea dragon woke him up. “You can go back to your work now that the Lava King is off the clock for now.” As he returned to the kitchen, he said to Koamalu, “Our shift is done, good work there, buddy!”

 

“Don’t mention it, lad,” Mr. Krabs chimed in. “I’ve been dealing with this for a while now.”

 

“I was referring to Koamalu, Mr. Krabs,” SpongeBob clarified.

 

“Don’t think I didn’t notice that feller sleeping on the job,” Mr. Krabs replied. “I could’ve notified the Lava King about him if it weren’t for the two of ye sticking together, being fated to save Bikini Bottom and all.”

 

“I wouldn’t allow for Koamalu to become a statue when he’s important to this mission that I’ve been trusted with. Besides, you’ve been behaving differently, from when I saw you yelling at Sandy and the others to do some work for the Lava King. I sure hope he hasn’t done anything to Patrick.”

 

“Oh no, I haven’t noticed anybody else turning into statues. This is all part of me own job in ensuring that everyone is safe.” Mr. Krabs lied, as he abstained from mentioning what happened to Plankton earlier.

 

SpongeBob and Koamalu both gave Mr. Krabs a look of skepticism. SpongeBob breaks the awkward silence by then saying to Mr. Krabs, “Okay, I trust you. We’ll see you later, okay? Koamalu and I will be off to do some more Totem God stuff.”

 

As SpongeBob and Koamalu exited the cafeteria hut, they were confronted by Patrick, who wore a frantic and exasperated look on his face.

 

“Oh Patrick, it’s good to see that you’re still alive and well,” said SpongeBob.

 

“How come you don’t you want to play with me anymore, SpongeBob!?” Patrick exclaimed. “Come on! Let’s do something together right now! You can’t just replace me as your best friend with this…weird guy.”

 

“I would never replace you as a best friend,” SpongeBob reassured. “I’m just really tied up right now, so I was just leaving with Koamalu to go and-“

 

“Why is it you always want to hang around with him all of a sudden?” Patrick inquired. He turned around to look at Koamalu in the eye. He began to speak directly towards the sea dragon while his anger built up. “You, this is your fault, all of it! If you hadn’t showed up, I wouldn’t be losing my best friend and be told to do something that I can’t do by some giant volcano! I may not understand a lot of things, and I may not understand you or know who you are, but I think I understand that you don’t belong here! So why don’t you just get out of here…you….you big dummy!?”

 

Patrick’s harsh words stunned both Koamalu and as well as SpongeBob, Patrick’s own self-proclaimed best friend.

 

SpongeBob broke the silence and said to Koamalu, “I’m so sorry about Patrick. I can try to reason with him-“

 

“No, it’s fine,” Koamalu interrupted in a quiet yet sincere tone. “Patrick is right. I don’t belong in this world, since I’m not from here.” Before he continued to speak, he turned his head for a moment to view the cave in the distance that he recognized as the dimension where Enakai resided in. He looked back and then said, “I take responsibility for what happen to your own world. Enakai is my responsibility too, so…I think I’m better off facing him by myself.”

 

Without warning, SpongeBob saw as Koamalu tapped over to the cave and went through it.

 

“No, wait!” SpongeBob called out. “...Thanks a lot Patrick. I have to go and get him out now.”

 

“So? He most likely would’ve been lost there anyway,” Patrick heckled. “Now that he’s not here, I do can whatever I want with you now, right?”

 

“Our world is in peril and all you care about is yourself!” SpongeBob snapped, as he was about to unleash a part of the powers against him. “Do you realize what you just did to Koamalu? If you could just let us help, then maybe we can have fun together like we usually do, but now is not the time!” When he finished speaking, he used his powers without restraint to freeze Patrick, covering him in a wall of ice. Some of the Bikini Bottom citizens who have observed this quarrel crowded up and looked at SpongeBob with discontent. SpongeBob realized his mistake and immediately conjured heat to thaw out Patrick from his state and ran up to the cave entrance housing Enakai’s dimension before Patrick could say something.

 

 When SpongeBob entered Enakai’s cove, it was like a labyrinth inside, so in a cosmic sort of sense, he figured that Patrick was right in assuming that Koamalu would get lost in place like this, much like he is now. Small serpent-like creatures that resembled Enakai’s image, akin to the Lava King’s creatures, emerged in front of SpongeBob, prompting for the sea sponge to conjure whirlwind magic to ward them off every few times they showed up to guard the domain. After what felt like hours having passed to him, SpongeBob would find Koamalu, who was curled up and sitting around idly half-asleep.

 

“I found you, Koamalu, and you’re unharmed! Do you have any idea how much of a relief it was for me to find you?”

 

“But what if Enakai found you already?” Koamalu questioned.

 

“No, I thought you went looking for him.” SpongeBob replied.

 

“Of course I did, I was just resting.” Koamalu replied.

 

“I’m still sorry about Patrick. I rushed over to you here because I had a squabble with him, and I ended up using the powers lend to me without control, so…I guess we’re even. We’re both fugitives for the time being, huh?”

 

Though Koamalu was too tired to be conversing with SpongeBob, talking to him had made him feel better about himself.

 

“I know this is a weird question to ask, but since we’ve known each other for a while, I’ve been wondering if you have any family, if you remember having any family.”

 

“I don’t think so. I would’ve called Enakai family if I still didn’t know much of him, but now that I am learning more about him, I’m trying to not to think about it. He’s keeping some things from me, I can tell. ”

 

“That’s a shame. Maybe you’ll remember sooner than later.”

 

Both Koamalu and SpongeBob began to sleep within in their little cubicle. Koamalu remember the voice’s warnings about the rules of Enakai’s dimension as he hasn’t been able to see himself return to his realm of dreams while keeping his eyes shut. He couldn’t forget his very previous meeting with the said voice, from when he napped during his shift, although it was very brief.

 

“You do have family, Koamalu, though you were taken from it. I could tell you more, but I don’t think you’d be able to handle the truth hidden about yourself just yet. From what I can tell you, the Lava King and Enakai are connected to you because they both wanted to raise you in their own way and of course, Enakai was able to take custody of you. While the Lava King is an entity from the past and Enakai from the future, you could say that I’m in-between those lanes. I am a Totem God just like you, whereas I categorize myself as a dream weaver. I’ve talked with you before, but it seems that Enakai had wiped out most of it and I was blocked off from accessing your dreamscape until the worlds collided. Before you return to the real world, I needed to let you know that I would’ve taken you in as my family and raised you with love and care if neither Enakai nor the Lava King interfered…”

 

Back outside the cave entrance, the island was close to going dusk. Patrick was still beside the cave waiting for SpongeBob to come back, and he stood there until he was confronted by the Lava King.

 

“I couldn’t help but notice that you may be…missing someone who is important to you,” the Lava King spoke.

“How do you know?” Patrick questioned.

 

“Just a guess,” the Lava King replied, although lying. “Say, I could be turning you into a statue right now, but I figured I could spare you if you agree to do one…very easy job for me.”

“What kind of job are you talking about?”

 

“Bring me Koamalu and only Koamalu. I’ll be willing to return the favor by bringing your sponge friend back from Enakai’s dimension as well.”

 

Patrick wasn’t smart enough to understand anything that the Lava King was saying, but he agreed to the offer without much hesitation.

7. Huina (Crossroads)

 

To Koamalu’s own surprise, he was back in the dreamscape with the familiar voice yet unfamiliar being. While most of the blurs still haven’t faded out, Koamalu was beginning to make out an image of the individual beside him.

 

“Hello again, I have something more to share with you,” the voice spoke.

 

“But why am I back here...when Enakai’s dimension is supposed to interfere with it?” Koamalu asked.

 

“It seems that you have stepped out of the dimension,” the voice responded. “I don’t see any other reason than that.”

 

“Well, if I’m back outside of that cave, then I need to wake up right now and regroup with SpongeBob before the Lava King notices me and I’m made into a statue!” Koamalu said in a panicked tone.

“Can you at least talk with me like you’re not made of stone? Unless you’re awakened or an interloper enters into our connection, nothing is stopping us from communicating.”

 

Listening to the advice from the voice, Koamalu keeps his composure before hearing what she needed to say.

 

“I can’t survey what happens in the conscious world while in the world of dreams, so I can’t tell you where you are or how you are, but I can at least tell you that our connection would be lost if your life gave out.”

 

“So, even though I’m not in Enakai’s dimension right now…I’m not dead?” As the body was still blurred to Koamalu when he asked the question, the voice answered him with a reassuring tone in its voice. “Is this all you needed to tell me?”

“No. You may not believe me now, but Enakai truly is not your real family as he’s taken you under his care for his own personal needs. He’s secluded you in his own material world where our powers couldn’t intersect because of a foretelling about you in which he believed that the multiverse would plunge into chaos because of your curiosity.”

 

“What does that mean?”

 

“If you haven’t noticed yet Koamalu, this journey of self-discovery that you’ve been paving and as well as your own personality have both been defined by your strong sense of curiosity. It’s because of a vision of the future that Enakai saw that discouraged your curious mind.”

 

“But what if the dreadful future that he saw is happening right now? His world, the Lava King’s world, SpongeBob’s world – all of them have merged because I was brought to the very world that…Enakai himself transported me to. Oh, none of this is making sense!”

 

“Who knows? Enakai could be wrong. You’d never know until you face him head-on.”

 

“What about my family, then? I still need to know whether or not I did have one.”

 

“That’s why I’ve been telling you to ask Enakai these questions since he very much knows, and you’re better off knowing about the truth he’s been hiding from him, and not from me, since I don’t want to take any responsibility for how you may feel.”

 

“If what you’re saying is that the truth will hurt more than I could ever think it could, then I should thank you for warning me. Whatever it may be, I think I can handle what Enakai will say, even if I had trusted him for so long.”

 

“Life is not without crossroads, Koamalu. The decisions you make will always be yours and yours alone. If you worry about the future, you’re falling into Enakai’s own trap.”

 

“Yeah, I guess I understand that. I need to wake back up, go back to Enakai’s dimension, and return to SpongeBob before he gets himself into serious trouble. He must be looking all over the cave right now for me and doesn’t realize that I somehow left. Although, there’s one more thing I need to ask you – your name, and what kind of person you are.”

 

“If you wish to know, despite that the lives of you and your friend may be in grave danger, I’ll be blunt. I am-“

 

Just like that, Koamalu was cut off from his connection once again as he was awakened. What he saw in front of him, when looking around, was the star-coated sky with the still-growing blackhole in the center, some more Bikini Bottom citizens turned to statues, Bikini Bottom citizens with torches, with Mr. Krabs, Sandy, and Larry being amongst the crowd, and then of course there was Patrick. He looked neither angry nor satisfied, but he had the expression that told him that he’s been waiting for him to get up…and that he somehow was involved in dragging him out of Enakai’s cave. Koamalu could also make the assumption that a day had passed during the merged worlds from when he was in Enakai’s dimension.

 

“Oh good, you’re awake now,” Patrick spoke.

 

“What’s going on?” Koamalu asked with bewilderment. “How did I even get back here?”

 

“We’ve tried to trust ye, but we have no choice but to use you as a sacrifice for the Lava King,” Mr. Krabs explained.

 

“It was my idea!” Patrick added.

 

Koamalu, who was lying down on the sand, pulled his body upwards and picked himself up. He was trying to shuffle away while the Bikini Bottomites citizens crowded closer to him.

 

“Ever since you and SpongeBob have gone away, I’ve been piled up with extra work around the kitchen!” Mr. Krabs said. “You’ve brought us bad luck since you stepped foot on our world!”

 

“I’m sorry dude, and I know that we’ve sparked a little bit of a friendship,” Larry was saying, “but it’s for your own good. We’ve collectively decided on this.”

 

“I didn’t agree to this,” Sandy chimed in. “This critter is still a valuable asset to fixing Bikini Bottom back to the way it was, so I would’ve done things rationally…and scientifically, even if he’s part of the reason why I was forced to cease my research .”

 

“How did you even find me and drag me out of such a dangerous place?” Koamalu asked directly towards Patrick, “and why didn’t you take SpongeBob? If you were there, you’d know that I was with him the whole time!”

 

“Dangerous? I saw no danger,” Patrick responded. “Besides, the Lava King only told me to bring you to him. He promised me he would also bring me back SpongeBob right here once I did.”

 

“That is right, he’s brought me what I’ve asked,” the Lava King uttered as he slid straight towards Koamalu, prompting for the island inhabitants to step back from his direction. He turned to Patrick and then said, “As for the pink starfish, I could reward you, but I’m afraid that I’ve…changed my mind. This is still the territory that I have claimed for myself, so I still make the rules here.”

 

“What?” Patrick said in an astonished tone. “That’s not fair!”

 

“I knew I was right to ask someone as dumb as you for this request,” Lava King jeered. “You were so disobedient with me before, but I’m surprised I managed to talk you into bringing me this scrawny fellow who’s supposed to suppress what I’ve worked to build. While I’ll deal with the sponge later, I might as well put him to the rest right now and make him into another one of my statues, since he has been rejecting me from the first day that I’ve conquered.”

 

The Lava King then shot magma from his otherwise molten arms. Koamalu countered the attack by using his powers to conjure a metal shield large enough to repel it.

 

“Oh, so you have been learning,” the Lava King remarked towards Koamalu.

 

While he still had the chance, he retreated back inside Enakai’s cavern and therefore avoiding the Lava King’s punishment. Before he knew Koamalu had escaped, the Lava King tried to stop him by releasing more spurts of magma. The internal anger that he felt from losing his target made him flare up and release more molten lava from his body until he tried to calm himself down.

 

“So, is there anyone else who’d like to be another one of my statues, or are you all now convinced in pledging your loyalty to me?” the Lava King demanded, but all the island inhabitants who’ve watched the frenzy were motionless and gave no response. “Is nobody going to answer? Fine, if that’s how it’s going to be, then you’ll all receive your punishment tomorrow since the dragon has burned me out. You can either show your loyalty to me before then, or you can send your last prayers.”

 

The Lava King made his usual exit by sinking into the floor and giving the unaffected island inhabitants hot feet before he dissolved completely. A day has passed and more of the Bikini Bottomites who defied the Lava King have met their fate by being turned to stone. Patrick, Sandy, Mr. Krabs, and Larry, saw themselves congregated together, having accepted their imminent outcomes.

 

“You know Patrick, I’ve always thought that you were stupid, but this is your dang fault,” Sandy spoke. “Because of your selfishness, things have escalated further.”

 

“Well, SpongeBob couldn’t spare any time to hang out with me because he’s always with that guy…whatever his name is!” Patrick responded. “I knew I should’ve gone in that cave for SpongeBob instead.”

 

“Is this what this is all about?” Sandy asked. “You were around when Neptune and Amphitrite showed up to entrust SpongeBob and the little critter into using their powers to try and restore Bikini Bottom, so it’s not his fault that SpongeBob got hog-tied into this.”

 

“Why should I understand what SpongeBob sees in that guy whose name my head can’t even pronounce?” Patrick argued. “He just came here out of nowhere and messed things up!”

 

“Let’s not hold this all against the little guy,” Larry chimed in. “If Sally Acorn’s invention hadn’t brought the Lava King and that other eel dude into our world, we wouldn’t be in this terrible situation.”

 

“Oh, so now y’all are blaming this on me?” Sandy shot back. “I never suspected that my invention would cause any of this, but I still took responsibility into my own two tinkering hands. That’s why I’ve been trying to fix this mess myself! Also, I don’t know how many more times I have to remind y’all about this, my name is Sandy Cheeks!”

 

“You’ve been spending time all your time alone doing all this confusing science stuff, so what do you know about what I’ve had to go through?” Patrick continued towards Sandy.

 

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Sandy asked. “Did y’all think that I had nothing better to do than hang around with you…Preston?”

 

“Who’s Preston? At least I know my own name!”

As Sandy, Patrick, and Larry continued to bicker, Mr. Krabs exclaimed, “Silence! All this fighting is getting us nowhere!”

 

“Well, what can we do now?” Sandy responded. “You’re the one that forced me to stop doing my work!”

 

“Yes, and that’s why I think you should all pin this down on me,” Mr. Krabs continued. “I got roped into doing contract work with the Lava King so I wouldn’t end up a statue like Squidward, and I had to keep that as me own little, burdened secret up until now. It’s also because I tried to maintain me trust with him that I became his enforcer. I’m really the most selfish person here.”

 

“That explains everything,” Sandy replied, “so why don’t we all agree that this Lava King ruined everything for us?”

 

“What about SpongeBob replacing me as his best friend?” Patrick argued.

 

“What about your invention?” Larry argued.

 

“What about me?” Mr. Krabs argued.

 

At that moment, the row of heads of the Mirage Tiki People emitted a white glow to indicate their sentience.

 

“No, one of you said it right before,” one of the voices of the Tikis spoke. “It is unwise to deflect blame on someone else and to put every ounce of pity on yourself. It does appear that you’ve all made some mistakes since the dimensions merged and it’s best to admit to those mistakes, what they may be.”

 

“What did I do?” Larry asked. “I’ve been supporting SpongeBob and the other guy for their quest and didn’t do anything wrong the past several days.”

 

“That sounds exactly like the tone someone would have when they did something they regretted,” Sandy remarked.

 

“Okay, so I admit that maybe I’ve been trying to make myself seem cooler when SpongeBob and that sea dragon got lent powers by Neptune and Amphitrite to be in-charge of such an important job,” Larry confessed, “so I’ve tried to put myself in this position where I could be able to be viewed just as rewarding, since I was being nice enough to help the two of them out. I was also trying to impress you, Sadie- I mean Sandy, because it’s been a long time since we’ve done anything together and I thought that you stopped caring about me when I realized how much more focused you were on doing all this science stuff.”

 

“Sandy Cheeks,” another voice from the Tikis spoke, “is there something you have to say?”

 

“I have to admit, I’ve been so darn worked up, that I’ve been secluding myself from everyone, including SpongeBob,” Sandy confessed. “I know I’ve been spending most of my time in Bikini Bottom doing all kinds of sports, but that was when I wasn’t so worried about having to make a successful invention each year. Science has always been another passion of mine, and I thought that people would appreciate and remember me more if I shared my brilliant inventions with them, but now I realize that because I’ve been spending so much time by myself, it feels like even everyone’s forgotten my name. When the worlds collided, I gave myself the golden opportunity to try and be this savior that Bikini Bottom needed in these hardships, so I pushed myself into inventing a solution. I didn’t believe in hope or faith while I have tried to prove that science could work such a miracle. I didn’t want to have to put all my trust in SpongeBob and that critter from another world, but now I have no other choice than to trust them.”

 

“I might as well be the next to confess,” said Mr. Krabs. “I’ve been caring more about keeping meself alive than helping everyone else when I made that deal with the Lava King. I may have been able to admit that I was wrong for that all I did while I was still trying to keep me secret, but the hardest thing for me to admit is that I’ve acted like a real tightwad before towards SpongeBob and Squidward. They are me employees after all, and as a boss, I have to treat them like so, and I’ve used me experience from managing the Krusty Krab to earn the Lava King’s trust, and I failed to help others in the process. SpongeBob is the most selfless soul in Bikini Bottom, so I guess it is no wonder our highnesses trusted him with their powers, so I owe that yellow feller a lot. We should all just admit we were all selfish in our own ways and wait until the Lava King gives us our punishment. All we can do now is hope for the best from SpongeBob and his other shipmate.”

 

Patrick was still reluctant to speak of his wrongs.

 

“Patrick, would you now be willing to confess to your own mistakes?” One of the voices of the Mirage Tiki People uttered.

 

“No way, that guy who’s been following SpongeBob around is the one who should be apologizing,” Patrick contended.

 

“We’re not asking for you to understand, but you should at least listen when we tell you that Koamalu has been taking responsibility for the crisis,” one of the Tikis said. “It so also happens that Koamalu is one of SpongeBob’s biggest priorities right now. If Koamalu was to suddenly have his life taken away, how do you think your friend SpongeBob would feel, and how would that make you feel?”

 

For once during his time on the merged world, based on the question provided to him, Patrick thought hard.

 

“So, what you’re saying is…I was being a bad friend to SpongeBob?” Patrick questioned. “I guess I’ll admit that I was so mean to him and to um…um…Koala Lou? It’s just…I never thought that I should’ve listened to SpongeBob because I’ve always been used to him listening to everything that I say. You know what, whoever that voice is in my head, you’re right, I should go and apologize to SpongeBob and Cocoa Malleus right now!”

 

In act of confidence, Patrick went through the entrance to Enakai’s dimension, leaving the other three alone.

 

“Patrick!” Sandy, Mr. Krabs, and Larry called out.

 

“He’s a goner,” Mr. Krabs remarked.

 

“So are we, though,” Larry added. “Koamalu…so that’s his name, huh? I’ll remember that for when he and SpongeBob restore Bikini Bottom.”

 

“Just like you’ll remember my name next time,” Sandy quipped towards the lobster.

 

Larry chuckled and replied, “I won’t forget about you, Sandy.”

 

“You’re right though, I’m putting a lot of my faith in SpongeBob and Koamalu,” Sandy replied.

 

“I hope SpongeBob and that Koamalu kid can put up a good fight against that no-good Lava King,” Mr. Krabs remarked.

 

Back inside Enakai’s dimension, Koamalu was looking all around the labyrinth for SpongeBob and vice versa. They used their respective powers to ward off the creatures lurking in the caverns until the duo were eventually together again after bumping into one another.

 

“SpongeBob, are you okay?” Koamalu asked.

 

“Of course I am!” SpongeBob responded in his most reassuring tone. “Where have you been? The one moment I take my eyes off you, you just disappeared!”

 

Koamalu, not wanting to bring up Patrick to him, replied to the sea sponge while scratching the back of his head, “I think I just came back outside while…sleepwalking, but I have some important news to share with you.”

 

“What’s that?”

 

“It’s not good news though. More people on the island are turning into statues, the blackhole in the sky is growing more in size, and…I just escaped from the Lava King when he was about to make me into another one of his stone statues.”

 

“Is that all?”

 

“I’ve also been learning more about Enakai, and how he’s been controlling my life because of some vision of the future that he saw, in which it involved me, and I’m going to get to the bottom of things right now! If I could defend myself from the Lava King, then I’m sure I’ll be okay talking to Enakai.”

 

Suddenly, the structure of the cave shifted all around SpongeBob and Koamalu, preceded by a strong magnitude. The tremor warped the two immense power-bearers right in front of the unagi himself. Koamalu faced Enakai with a sense of pride and courage. Having seen the unagi up close for the first time, SpongeBob was too intimidated to move as close as his sea dragon friend already had.

 

“I sensed your presence for a while, Koamalu,” Enakai spoke. “Before I could start answering these burning questions you have, I insist you reiterate to me what you’ve been told about our bond.”
