Episode 6: Leaf it all to me.
(Various scenes are played from the previous race.)
Discord VO: Last time on The Amazing Crossover Race, the teams took a surprise visit to the Crystal Empire. The challenge for the loners was a mad skills inducing obstacle course while carrying a heavy backpack with them for the whole obstacle course. Most players took it nice and easy, some had no trouble at all, and others cracked under pressure to say the least. Without any errors or do-overs, the Schoolgirls easily won the leg and tickets for first class with a team of their choice. It was a close play in the end for four teams, despite the Snobby Duo getting penalized, they still managed to make it, but instead the Mushroom Pals were the losing team. However, it was a non-elimination round, so they get spared for another leg. They won't be off the hook that easily because a penalty challenge awaits them in the next leg.
Discord appears.
Discord: So that leaves 21 teams today, but hopefully there will be another team leaving. Also, what horrible penalty awaits for the Mushroom Pals? Let's get started here on...The Amazing Crossover Race!
With a snap of fingers, the intro starts up.
(Intro over.)
Episode 6: Leaf it all to me.
Discord and Fluttershy appear.
Discord: It's time to say farewell to the Crystal Empire as we have yesterday's winners: the genius Schoolgirls get the first tip.
Ringo and Raffina step up to the cloudbox.
(Interview: Schoolgirls)
Raffina: Coming in first place gives us more confidence than ever.
Ringo: If we were able to pull off a flawless win like that, then let's hope we stay in the top 10.
Raffina: Or the top five at least.
Fluttershy: Wait girls, before you get your first tip, there's one more thing you need to do first.
Ringo: What's that?
Discord: Your reward from yesterday. Before you two begin, which team are you bringing with cointo first class?
Raffina: Well we've been doing some thinking and I guess we choose...
Ringo: The Pen Pals.
Discord: Okay, done and done. Now go get the first travel tip.
Raffina (presses the button and a tip comes out): Interesting, but we're heading to Maple Treeway.
An image of Maple Treeway is shown.
Discord: Maple Treeway: a very big forest which occurs around autumn, and home to many Wigglers and also filled with so much leaves and leaf piles. This is a lovely place that happens on treetops and the branches. Teams will take one flight to this location and find the cloudbox located at the outside of the airport.
Many hands and hooves press the button and the tips are received. Teams are already racing to the airport.
Before Twilight and Sunset receive their tip, Fluttershy comes up to them.
Fluttershy: Um Twilight, I just wanted to tell you both the Schoolgirls chose the two of you to join them in first class.
Sunset: They did?
Discord: Of course, so you two also get to fly first class with them.
Twilight: This is amazing!
(Interview: Pen Pals)
Sunset: This race just got interesting.
Twilight: I know, but why do you think they chose us?
Sunset: Maybe it was their choice. I mean they are pretty smart.
Cut back to the Snobby Duo as they are about to leave.
Diamond Tiara: Hurry up Silver Spoon.
Silver Spoon tries to catch up with her.
(Interview: Snobby Duo)
Diamond Tiara: Ugh, this so isn't fair. We started out in the bottom four and almost lost the race.
Silver Spoon: Well no one was eliminated.
Diamond Tiara: Nobody asked you, and the worst part is that pegasus has the nerve making me do the next TWO do it yourself challenges as a punishment.
Silver Spoon: Well you refused to do the last one.
Diamond Tiara: What was that?
Silver Spoon: Nothing.
All the teams are at the airport and a few are already on board and some are still in line. The Schoolgirls are at the front of the line.
Raffina: Two for Maple Treeway, and here's the tickets for first class. (Gives the clerk the tickets) Also, another team is joining us in first class. Can you also book the Pen Pals in first class too?
The clerk gives them a thumbs up and they both leave.
(Pan to airplane in the air and cut to the inside of first class.)
Raffina: This is the life.
Sunset: How can we ever repay for this.
Ringo(reading her book): No thanks is necessary. The cookies here are delicious. First class is the best.
Twilight: It's not the same as coach class, but I guess this better.
(Unknown to them, Bowser Jr was eavesdropping on the entire conversation.)
Bowser Jr: They've got everything good in there and we're stuck in this lame coach section.
Pinkie Pie: This isn't lame, it's kinda cozy.
Cheese Sandwich: Yeah and it's also relaxing.
Waluigi: Well it would be more relaxing if WE were in there.
Apple Bloom: Guess somebody might be a sore loser.
Wario: You take that back little girl. Or else.
Applejack: You lay a finger on my sister, and it ain't gonna be pretty for y'all.
Pan to the Young Princesses in their seats.
Baby Daisy: Those are some fireworks going on.
Baby Peach: I know, but we need to start coming out from the back positions. We been falling behind lately and if we're not careful, we could be going home next.
Baby Daisy: I don't want that to happen.
Baby Peach: We just got to try hard and hopefully we won't finish near the bottom.
Discord VO: The plane lands in Maple Treeway and all the teams exit the plane and found the cloudbox by the exit.
Twilight: Make your way down the path...
Peach: ...and you'll find the next cloudbox where your next tip is located.
Spike: Only this time it says we need to get to the location of the cloudbox. On a Wiggler?
Rainbow Dash: What the hey is that?
Ringo: I believe it's those creatures over there. (Pointing to a bunch of yellow large caterpillars.
Rarity: We have to ride those things?
The teams hop on their Wigglers and began heading off.
Toad: Let's go.
Fluttershy: Excuse me, but can you two stop right there?
Toadette: What is it?
Fluttershy: I need you to come with me.
Both of them follow her.
Toadette: Where are we going? The race is back that way.
Toad(eyes widened): Oh right I forgot we have a penalty challenge.
Toadette: And where is this so called penalty challenge?
Fluttershy: Down this pipe.
Toad: Well if it'll get us back in the race, then here goes. (Goes down the pipe and Toadette follows him. When they exit the pipe, they found Discord waiting there.
Toadette: What's this all about?
Discord: Need I remind you, every time a team loses a non-elimination round, then it's time for them to partake in a penalty challenge. For this challenge, you two will have to go on a little scavenger hunt to find these three items.(gives them a list of items) You two will find a coin, a red mushroom, and a gold star. Once you find an item, put it inside the bucket until you have all three of them. When all three items are found, you can exit the challenge and resume the race. (He then disappears)
Toad looks at the list: It's just three items to find. How hard can it be? (Looks and sees a really massive field of leaves.)
Toadette: Stop saying: how hard can it be?
Discord VO: As the Mushroom Pals get searching for the items, the teams have rode a long way and finally reach the cloudbox.
Octavia pressed the button and a tip comes out.
Octavia: It's another do it yourself challenge: Rake itSureSure it.
Fluttershy is seen holding a rake: For this do it yourself challenge, it's time for them to do a little yard work. Whoever didn't run the obstacle course in the Crystal Empire, has to grab a rake and get to work. The loners will be raking leaves scattered across the field and when their section is cleared, this cute creature Wiggler will give them their next tip.
Rarity: Do they really expect me to get my hooves dirty doing yard work?
Spike: Technically, it is your turn.
Peach: I'm up again.
Baby Peach: My turn.
Lyra: I'm doing this.
The loners grab their rakes and get to work.
Baby Peach: This will be no problem-Whoa! This really heavy.
Raffina: You want some help?
Baby Peach: No thanks, I'm pretty sure I-I-I got this(she somehow loses control of the rake and she is getting unbalanced swinging it back and forth.
?: OW!
Baby Peach: I am so sorry.
Lyra: No No it's okay. I'm fine. It doesn't hurt that bad.
Lyra finally gets up and everyone either gasps, look away, or cringes at what they just witnessed.
Lyra: What? What's wrong? Is something wrong with my face?
(Sure enough, Lyra could barely see because both of her eyes were completely black leaving her blind.)
Bon Bon: (getting nervous) Uh no, nothing's wrong. Here, why don't I do the raking while you rest.
Lyra: Are you sure?
Bon Bon: Of course.
Lyra: Thanks. (Heads right to the field.)
Bon Bon: Uhh, it's the other way.
Baby Peach: Maybe I should use a smaller rake.
Doctor Whooves: So we each get a section, and we need to take all the leaves in our own section to move on.
Paratroopa starts right away: That wasn't so hard. How many sweeps was that?
Koopa: One.
Discord VO: The loners began raking in the leaves. In The meantime, it's time to check in on the last place team.
Pan to the Mushroom Pals searching in the massive leaf pile for the items. However, they still haven't found any items yet.
Toadette: Ugh, this is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Toad: Maybe we should try a different approach, and I know just the way to do it.
He then jumps up and dove right into the leaf pile.
Toadette: This is no time for fun. We are in a race.
Toad(coming back up holds up a star): Got one!
Toadette (stunned): B-but how did you-
Toad: Simple you just jump into it like so, and feel around until you touch something other than leaves.
Toadette hearing this uses his strategy and did the same thing until she comes back up with a coin in her hand.
Toadette: Sweet, free money!
Toad: It is the second item though. Only one more to go.
(Cut back to the other challenge. Some of the teams already finish up.)
Bon Bon: All done.
Lyra: Okay let's go. (Heads in the opposite direction.)
Bon Bon: Uh it's this way.
Lyra: I knew that!
Gilda: Done!
Twilight: Finished!
Peach: Nice and done.
Applejack: That's about it.
Doctor Whooves: All done.
Bowser: Let's go!
Wario is climbing on the Wiggler.
Waluigi: All right just nice and easy and you'll be done.
Wario: Yeah and maybe we can-Aaahhh!
Wario gets bumped by one of the Wigglers, lost his balance, and dangles off the edge holding on with one hand.
Apple Bloom: Oops! Sorry bout that!
Waluigi: You did that on purpose!
Apple Bloom sticks her tongue out back at those two and leaves with her sister.
(Interview: Apple Bloom)
Apple Bloom: Ah can guess what yet thinkin', but those two totally deserve it for messing with us in Sweet Sweet Canyon. So ah'll gonna give those two what's comin' to them.
(Paratroopa is still raking.)
Koopa: Hurry up, more teams just finished.
Sure enough, he was right because the Musicians, Wonderbolts, Pegasisters, Schoolgirls, Royal Sisters, and Mario Bros. finish the challenge and leave.
Paratroopa: Well can some things please go right today? (After he said that, his rake slipped out of his hands and hits one of the Wigglers on the head.
(The Wiggler turns around and found the team that threw it. It turned angry and red and charged at the duo.)
Paratroopa: Shall we run for our lives?
Koopa: Oh yes let's!
Both of the scream and run off from the angry beast.
Back with the penalty challenge, 30 minutes have passed and the mushroom is not found yet.
Toadette: We've been here for almost an our and the star is impossible to find. We're so going to lose.
Toad: We can't maybe we still have a chance. What are the chances we could- (He paused as soon as he felt something. He pulls it out and it's revealed to be the mushroom they were looking for.) Found it!
Toadette: Well how bout that?
Toad: That's the last one.
Toadette: So um, where's the exit?
Toad: Probably at the warp pipe over there. (Points to a warp pipe nearby.) Both of them jump inside it.
Discord VO: The Mushroom Pals are finished with the penalty challenge, and they'll need to make an epic comeback in order to catch up with the competition.
Pan to the teams that are way ahead and riding either fast or slow.
Lyra: Not too fast, or slow.
Bon Bon: Okay, but please stop touching your black eyes?
(Interview: Besties)
Lyra: OW! They still hurt a little bit.
Bon Bon: Touching them is not going to make them feel better.
Lyra: I know, but that rake hit me so hard.
Bon Bon: I'm sure they'll be better by tomorrow.
Pan to the Apple Siblings riding on their Wiggler.
Waluigi: Hey, Pipsqueak!
The Sneaky twins were charging at them at full speed with angry looks on their faces.
Apple Bloom: Uh oh, we've got trouble. (Sees a wild Wiggler sleeping by and gets an idea.)
Wario(having a bomb in his hand): Here comes the pain. Ha ha.
To their surprise they, the Siblings head in the opposite direction and pass the twins.
Apple Bloom: Y'all don't even know the half of it.
The twins didn't see where they were going and bumped into something. It was revealed the Wiggler that was sleeping earlier and it head charges both of them into the ground. It charges at the duo again and knocks Waluigi into the air and knocks Wario into a wall.
Wario (calling out to the yellow filly): You little squirt, you'll get what's coming to you!
Apple Bloom waves good bye to them as they continue getting pummeled by the angry Wiggler and chuckles softly.
(Interview: Apple Siblings)
Applejack: Ya mind telling me what we're you were thinking?
Apple Bloom: Ah simply wanted to get those jerks back for what they did to us two legs ago.
Applejack: Well that was dirty, but they did kinda deserve it.
The Mushroom Pals arrive at the first challenge and get their tip.
Toadette: Another do it yourself challenge, and it's your turn.
Toad: What's the challenge?
Toadette: Raking leaves.
Toad: Better get a rake.
Baby Daisy: I might suggest taking a small rake.
Toad: What for?
Baby Peach: Don't ask!
Three more teams finish as well.
Diamond Tiara: Done!
Rarity: Finished!
Button: All done!
Toad: Better get started.
Meanwhile, the next cloudbox is in range and the Princesses are the first team who reach it. They hop off their Wiggler and receive their next travel tip.
Daisy: It a duo challenge: let it glide.
Peach: I don't know what that means.
Discord appears: Well allow me to explain it for you princess. For this little arts and crafts duo challenge, teams will work together to build themselves a hang-glider made out of leaves, branches, and glue. It must be big and strong enough to hold you and your partner that you will need to fly over this massive gap to the other side. They'll either reach the other safely, or plummet like turkeys because they didn't hold on tight. If the teams make it to the other side, then it'll be a straight path down the hill and a trek uphill to where today's finish line is located. Last team to get here, will end up like some of the leaves: blown away for good.
Peach: Make a hang glider out of leaves and branches?
Daisy: Don't forget the glue.
More teams arrive at the next challenge, receive their tips as well, and get started working.
(Cut back to the first challenge. Where the last four teams finish raking and leave.)
Koopa: Think we lost it?
Paratroopa: Probably, there's no sign of it anywhere, so we're good to-
He paused as he heard something breathing down his back.
Paratroopa: It's right behind me isn't it?
Koopa: Yep, and there's only one thing to do.
Paratroopa: What?
Koopa: RUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!
Both of them scream as it continues chasing them down the path.
(Interview: Koopas)
Paratroopa: Seriously, why does nature hate us?
Koopa: There are many ways, but I do not want to say it.
Pan back to the second challenge where teams continue working.
Lyra: Need anything?
Bon Bon: No, I'm fine. Just stay right there and I'll work on the other side.
(Interview: Besties)
Bon Bon: I had to make sure our hang glider comes out perfect. I couldn't take the risk of having my partner get another injury.
Lyra: That and I can barely see at all, but thanks for caring.
Both hug each other.
Just then, the Sneaky twins were just hurled right at the edge by the angry Wiggler who just leaves.
Waluigi(groaning): So much pain.
Wario: Maybe it wants some more. (Gets back up.) You come back here for another round bucko. I didn't even hear a bell.
The Wiggler quickly came back and gave Wario a kick to the face which makes a bell sound. This got a laugh from the Apple Siblings, Pegasisters, Princesses, and the Mario Bros. Wario fell right over after that.
20 minutes pass by and most of the teams are nearly done. The last few teams arrive and get started on their hang gliders.
Koopa: Finally lost it.
Paratroopa: That solve one problem, but now we gotta avoid coming in last.
Koopa: Then let's get to work.
Pan to the Sneaky Twins at their workstation.
Waluigi: That little one has become a real thorn in our side.
Wario: She wants to get the drop on us, then I say it's time we return the favor.
Waluigi: How so?
Wario: We have alliance buddies, don't we? (Goes over to the Bowsers).
Bowser: What do you want now?
Waluigi: There's a little issue we have with a certain enemy.
Bowser Jr: Who would that be? Those pesky Mario Bros.? The Princesses? Who?
Wario: That little one over there. (Points to Apple Bloom).
Bowser: That little pony over there? Why her?
Waluigi: She was the one who kept on targeting us ever since this leg.
Wario: She purposely made me lose my balance.
Waluigi: And got us both pummeled by an angry Wiggler.
Bowser: Not to worry, I'm sure she'll get what's coming to her.
Bowser Jr: But let's do it in the next leg.
Wario: Why not now?
Bowser: She and her teammate finished already.
Bowser Jr: So have we. See ya!
Wario: We gotta catch up with the competition.
Waluigi: Already one step ahead you.
Wario: We'll catch those backstabbers in no time. They will pay for what they've done!
The Besties are preparing to jump the massive gorge.
Bon Bon: On the count of three, we jump okay?
Lyra nodded in agreement.
Bon Bon: 1, 2, 3!
(Interview: Besties)
Bon Bon: I had to take charge if we have any chance of staying in the race. Even though Lyra is blind as a bat.
Lyra: I may be blind temporarily, but I can still do this with my best friend. Even though they still hurt.
Bon Bon: Did you have to keep bothering them every minute?
Lyra: I thought what happens in the past, stays in the past.
(This left the light yellow earth pony confused by that.)
Button: We finished.
Sweetie Belle: Are you sure that will fly?
Button: Of course it will. We have a good chance of making it to the other side.
Sweetie Belle: Hope you're right.
Toad: See? We just made a great comeback, and you thought we were going to lose.
Toadette: Well we are going to lose if you don't stop talking and keep working.
Scootaloo was watching them nearby.
Rainbow Dash: Hey kid! We gotta keep focusing on the glider.
Scootaloo: Oh right I kinda got distracted.
Pan to the Bolts' at their workstation.
Soarin: So do you think we should make an alliance with Rainbow Dash and her little friend there.
Spitfire: Can't be too careful Soarin, we only make allies with people that we trust.
Rainbow Dash: Hey, I can hear you! And you know you can trust us.
Scootaloo: Besides, you all are practically Wonderbolts. Maybe you can reach an agreement or something.
Spitfire: Fine! A test alliance run will be my only offer.
Rainbow Dash: That's it?
Spitfire: Take it or leave it. (Goes back to work.)
Soarin: She's mostly like this.
Scootaloo: I can see why.
Pan to some of the teams gliding over the gorge as they race for first place. Some of the other teams have tang gliders finished and ready to go.
Spitfire: All done! Let's fly!
Soarin: Hope you mean the glider instead of us.
Rainbow Dash: Ready to go kid?
Scootaloo: Yes! Let's go!
Cut to the other side of the platform where the Besties get off their glider and run over to the finish line. It was not a long run until they finally reach it.
Lyra: Yes! We finally won after a few rough positions.
Bon Bon: I know right? We actually deserve this.
Discord and Fluttershy appear.
Discord: No, you deserve a 40 minute penalty; which you're getting right now.
(A clock with 40 minutes appears.)
Bon Bon: I don't get it, how are we getting penalized?
Discord: Two things, one: you were the one who did the do it yourself challenge that Lyra was supposed to do which was 20 minutes
Fluttershy: Second, both of you were supposed to do build the hang glider together, but Bon Bon did all the work which is another 20 minutes.
Discord: Put it all together and it's a 40 minute penalty.
Lyra: So close...
Bon Bon: Awww.
The Besties stand aside as they wait for their penalty to end. Another team flies in and steps on the finish line.
Discord: Well ladies, I would say you're in second, but since the Besties are penalized for 40 minutes, you're in first place.
Gilda: YES!
Trixie: Huzzah! Tough break for you Best-AAAHHHH!
Gilda: What are you screaming about- HOLY HORSEFEATHERS!
Both of them were freaked out when they saw the black eyes Lyra had.
Lyra: It's really that bad isn't it?
Bon Bon: Yep.
Cut back to the Schoolgirls about to jump.
Raffina: So we figured out the wind speed.
Ringo: Don't forget the direction.
Raffina: The condition of this glider and the weight.
Ringo: We'll be across in no time.
Both of them jump off the edge but get pulled back by a gust of wind.
Raffina: Whoa, that's not right.
Ringo: Yeah, who would've guessed the wind speeds are unpredictable?
Raffina: No idea.
Another team flies in and steps on the finish line.
Discord: Well impressive flying you two. The Bowsers take second place.
Bowser Jr: So close yet so far.
Bowser: Well we obviously have a shot at getting first next time.
More teams arrive at the finish line, and their placements are said as their pictures are shown.
Discord VO: 3rd. (Apple Siblings), 4th. (Pen Pals), 5th. (Schoolgirls), 6th. (Gamers).
(Interview: Gamers)
Sweetie Belle: Wow! Sixth place is actually the best placement we've got so far.
Button: Yeah, we were near the bottom in the last few legs, but now we've got a chance.
Sweetie Belle: You're right! Maybe well even win one leg for sure. Soon!
Fluttershy VO: 7th. (Scientists), 8th. (Princesses), 9th. (Gem Collectors), 10th. (Royal Sisters), 11th. (Snobby Duo).
The Besties wait anxiously as the clock is at 19:24, 19:23, 19:22, 19:21.
Discord VO: As time continues counting down and the pressure intensifies, more and more teams finish up the last challenge.
Pan back to the last few teams that finish building their gliders and prepare to jump the massive gorge.
Soarin: We've got each other's flanks right?
Rainbow Dash: Got that right.
The Wonderbolts jump and the Pegasisters follow them.
Scootaloo: Uh Rainbow Dash, I have a little-(*sneezes*)
That sneeze sent the Pegasisters' glider smacking into the Wonderbolts as they both fly out of control.
Discord VO: Oh it seems those pegasi up there have taken a little trip to the air show.
The gliders now begin to plummet down and both of them crashed on the finish line.
Spitfire: Test run over, alliance is not happening.
Soarin: Sorry Dash, I gotta go with my partner on this.
Rainbow Dash: Fair enough.
Discord: And it looks like a painful multi-limb tie for 12th place. Less than half of the teams are left, and maybe one is about to be left behind.
This makes the Besties even more nervous than usual.
The Musicians land on the finish line.
Fluttershy: 14th.
Screaming was heard in the distance and it was coming from Cheese Sandwich as he and Pinkie were gliding through pretty fast.
Pinkie: INCOMING!
They crashed directly into the ground just mere seconds away from the finish line as three more teams pass them.
Discord: 15th. (Young Princesses), 16th. (Mushroom Pals), and the twins are in 17th.
The clock is now at 3:45, 3::44, 3:43, 3:42.
Mario(from a distance): LOOK OUT!
They couldn't turn away in time and knocked the Party Ponies onto the finish line.
Discord: 18th, and the bros take 19th.
The Koopas land on the opposite platform.
Koopa: Made it baby!
The Besties are still waiting as the clock is now at 1:00, 0:59, 0:58.
Paratroopa: Almost there.
Koopa: We need to hurry up now. There is no doubt that- (paused as he noticed something breathing from behind him. Looks up and realized that it's...) AWWWW COME ON!
The very same Wiggler chasing them found them again.
Paratroopa: Don't talk, just RUUUUNNNN! AGAIN!
(The chase goes on again as they run to the finish line being pursued by the Wiggler again.)
Fluttershy: Well girls, your penalty is over in 3, 2, 1!
(A buzzer is heard. Right when the Besties were about to run, they paused as the Koopas ran right past them being chased again and stepped on the rug before the chase kept on going.)
Discord: Assuming that thing doesn't kill them, they are in 20th and still in the race.
Fluttershy: I better go help them. (She flies off after them.)
Discord turns to the Besties: Well, tough break ladies. You've been cut from the race. Hopefully, you can see a doctor about those eyes Lyra. Until then, it's time to leave.
Bon Bon: So much for visiting more exciting places. (She and her friend leave.)
Discord: Two teams from two worlds are already gone and only 20 remain, but for how long exactly? There's more of this intense mayhem here on... The Amazing Crossover Race!
The best of Lyra and Bon Bon: Besties.
(Scenes of this team's great moments are played.)
Bon Bon: I'm kinda sad we're going to miss out on exploring the world.
Lyra: Me too, and we even got penalized from an incident.
Bon Bon: I know but I did what had to do.
Lyra: You're too kind to help me out. You're heart was in the right place.
(The replay scene ends and the Besties are walking off in the Sunset.)
Bon Bon: Aww thanks Lyra.
Lyra: Best-
Bon Bon: Friends-
Together: Forever!
(END)
