Day 2

Black and Blue stand on mats of their colors. The rest of the contestants stand before them. Viking announces, "Okay guys, it's time to pick the teams." Kitty says, "Can Blue pick first? I prefer him to Black." Viking agrees.

"Okay Blue, pick someone to be on your team." "I choose Red because he's my friend." Red walks onto Blue's mat. "Black, it's your turn." "I choose Green, I think he has a lot of evil potential." "Blue, your go." "Lime, he's also my friend."

"Black, you-" "STOP IT! YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL US EVERY TIME!" "Okay, okay, just pick." "Purple, since she doesn't talk, she's kind of interesting and mysterious." Blue picks Cyan. Cyan walks over looking kind of shy. Black then chooses Sky. Sky takes a while to come since he's currently reading a book.

"I choose Yellow, her positivity is good." Black looks around at the remaining choices; Orange, Magenta and White. "So it's the coward, the weirdo and the one who's ridiculously kind and calm. Whatever, I'll take White." Blue is now choosing. "I'd say Magenta is the better of the two." Orange then goes over to Black's team. "Great, we get the wimp."

As Viking is announcing the challenge, Kitty runs in crying. Viking turns around to look at her. "Huh? What's wrong?" Kitty holds up her cat teddy. Or rather, what WAS her cat teddy. It's in two parts, the head has been torn from the body. "Oh yeah, that was me." calls Green. "Funny, right?"

After Kitty beats Green over the head with a stick, Eric announces the challenge. "The challenge is to get Kitty a new teddy. The team that fails will be losing one of their members. Also, since Green is responsible for this, he will sit this challenge out."

Blue sits down drawing. After a few minutes have passed, he shows the others what he has made. "This is a completely accurate drawing of Genevieve's teddy. We will have to recreate it." "Yeah, it's a shame we can't buy those since our universe is different to theirs." says Red.

Black adds in the final screw. "I feel like teddies shouldn't have screws." says Sky. "Whatever." responds Black. "Some compromises have to be made to get things the way you want."

Cyan sticks on the last eye. Blue looks at her creation. "Wow Cyan, you're really good." Cyan blushes and smiles. Blue picks up the teddy. "This is perfect."

"Okay everyone, it's time for the judging! Bring your teddies back to me!" Blue's and Black's team bring in their teddies. "Let's look at Blue's first." Blue holds up the teddy. Kitty grabs it and cuddles it. "How did you get her back?" Blue responds, "It's not the same one, it's an identical replica." Kitty smiles and says, "I'm keeping this one! I'll name you cat teddy, after the original!"

It's time for Black's team to go. Black brings it in. "W-...what the heck is that!?" Kitty examines the thing. It's like a teddy bear, except it's made of metal. Its eyes glow red and it has sharp teeth. It starts to say, "Exterminate!" repeatedly, and chases after Kitty. Viking pours a bucket of water over it and it dies.

Team Black sit at the elimination ceremony. "Yeah, this was a really obvious outcome. Anyway, you've all cast your votes, so let's see who's safe." Viking holds out a plate of donuts. "I have here five donuts. There were originally eleven, I gave one to each member of the other team. If I call your name, you are safe and you get a donut."

Everyone looks around nervously. "The first donut goes to... White." Viking tosses the donut over to her. "Purple. Orange. Sky." After those three have collected their donuts, Viking looks at the bottom 2. "Green. Black. One of you will be eliminated. I mean, this was kinda obvious. Green ripped up little teddy, and Black made that robot demon bear thingy. Anyway, the contestant leaving is..."

Black and Green look at each other. Everyone else doesn't care. They're fine with either leaving. "...Black." Green sighs in relief and goes to collect a donut. Black stands up. His eyes glow with anger. He sighs. "Well, if it happened, it happened. But I'll return, and when I do, you will all fall one by one."

Viking directs Black to a giant catapult. "Really? I have to go in that?" "Yes." responds Viking. "This catapult will send you home." Black climbs inside. Viking pulls a lever and Black is launched away.

Black lands face down on something. Something hard. As he stands back up, he looks around. "This isn't my home! Where am I?" There is a screen on the wall. It turns on to reveal Viking and Kitty.

"Hello eliminated contestant. You're probably wondering where you are..." "Where am I? What are you doing?" Viking continues, "Oh, by the way, this is a pre-recorded message, so don't bother trying to talk to me."

"So anyway, this place is called the giant black box. We call it that because it's a giant black box." "The name was my idea!" interrupts Kitty. "We have to lie to the eliminated contestants about where they're going or they'll refuse to go in the catapult."

As the screen switches off, Black looks at it in shock. "That idiot of a host! He thinks he can just trap me in here? Well, he succeeded, but I will escape!"
