Chapter 11: Trickiest Riddle Showdown
Recap: In the previous chapter, the remaining contestants get to compete in the 10th challenge where they have to give candies and other things to the kids. Pierce is trying to follow his own plan by making his own team lose the challenge to get rid of Marcel or Fallon. But in the end, Pierce got what he wanted by having his team up for elimination, since Striking Piledrivers got 44 candies/treats for the kids, while Demolition Legends had 32 given to the kids. Finally, karma got the best of him as he is eliminated with three votes and Molly proves herself worthy by hiding in the bush, which not only does it prove how worthwhile it is for her to rejoin the game.
That's what you missed.
Rosaria's POV
Man, Molly is lucky that she can rejoin the game since she is worthy without her realizing it.
That's her power that she didn't recognize which can help her by having a second chance.
Maybe I should spend time with Priya since she still remains in the game. I kinda miss her since it's been a long time since we spent time together.
I understand what hell is like for her since I was eliminated and I don't have a chance to rejoin since I don't have any numbers of votes.
Oh well, guess I can still hang out around the city for now.
Priya: Rosaria?
Rosaria: Yes?
Priya: Did you have a chance to go back to the game last time?
Rosaria: *sighs* No, I don't have a chance to rejoin since I don't have the votes to rejoin.
Priya: At least you tried. What matters is that you're still here to enjoy the vacation. I want you to be happy with no pressure. That's it.
Rosaria: Really?
Priya: Yes, I'm sure that you'll find your happiness instead, since it's important for everyone, that includes you.
Rosaria: Thanks...
Priya: Anytime. You can tell me if you have problems in your own life.
Rosaria: Sure.
Priya: Oh! I'm going now since I don't want to miss a challenge! See ya!
I saw Priya going to the competition set since she didn't want to miss the challenge, which I can understand.
I mean, I can wait for her for a while.
End of Rosaria's POV
Priya went to look for her remaining teammates and saw them with the other contestants on the other team, waiting for Penny.
Priya: Am I late?
Capri: I don't think you're late yet.
Adrian: We're waiting for Penny since we are not sure about the next challenge.
Priya: Oh...
Penny arrives at the setting, which is related to a gameshow.
Rayna: What are we going to do with those?
Penny: That's a good question. For the next challenge, you guys are playing a gameshow. For those who don't know the rules, it's simple. When I read the question, remember to think of the answer. If you have the answer, press the buzzer and say the answer.
Penny: If the answer is right, you earn the point. If the answer is wrong, one of the contestants from the other team will press the buzzer.
Penny: If both of the answers are wrong, I'll move on to the next question. Whoever gets the most correct questions wins the challenge for your team and the other will be up for elimination.
Adrian: How can we press the buzzer if me and Fallon are armless?
Fallon: That's a good point..
Penny: Don't sweat it, there's a buzzer that is for you two.
Penny points at the buzzer to the ground that can be stomped.
Adrian: Thank god...
Capri: So can we switch teammates in every question?
Penny: It depends on how you plan to switch teammates, depending on what they're good at. Now, who will be the first ones to participate in the first question from each team?
Capri: I think Adrian will do it, since he's the smartest in the team.
Rayna: I guess I can't say otherwise but go for it.
Marcel: Now, who do we choose?
Fallon: I'm not sure, since Gauri isn't here...
Cain: What about Bry? He can do this one since he used to be a student with straight A's.
Brynn: No need to mention it.
Marcel: Brynn, are you okay with this?
Cain: It's okay if you won't participate in the first round. We'll pick someone else.
Brynn: I'll go.
Cain: Bry, are you sure?
Brynn: I insist.
Cain: If you say so. *gives Brynn a hug* Good luck babe.
Brynn: Thanks my sunshine.
Brynn went to the right side of the buzzer while Adrian went to the left side of the buzzer.
Penny: Are you guys ready for the first question?
Brynn: I'm prepared.
Adrian: I'm ready to face hell!
Penny: What can be broken but never held?
Both of them thought for a moment before Brynn pressed the buzzer.
Brynn: The answer is a promise.
Penny: That's correct! One point for Demolition Legends!
Cain: I know you can do it babe!
Brynn smiles at Cain.
Penny: Before the second question, is there anyone you want to switch to?
Brynn: I'll switch with Marcel.
Marcel: Good choice pal.
Adrian: I will remain for the next one.
Penny: For the second question, what goes up but never ever comes down?
Adrian pressed the buzzer by stepping on it.
Adrian: The age?
Penny: Correct! One point for Striking Piledrivers!
Adrian: Yes!
Marcel: (Damn, this guy knows better than I do.)
Penny: Before moving to a third question, does anyone want to switch?
Adrian: I'll switch with Capri since she is better at these.
Capri: Are you really sure?
Adrian: I'm sure. Now do it for not only yourself but also for your team!
Capri: Alright, if you say so.
Marcel: I'll switch with Cain since I want to give him a chance.
Brynn: I know you can do this darling.
Cain: Thanks Bry...
Penny: That's sappy... anyway, for the third question, if you have one, you want to share it. But once you share it, you do not have it. What is it?
Capri finally found out the answer and pressed the buzzer.
Capri: I know the answer! The answer is secret.
Penny: I would make a joke to ask you but I'll take it. So it's correct! Another point for Team Striking Piledrivers!
Priya: Slay bestie!!!
Cain: Aw...
Brynn: It's okay, you can try again.
Penny: Before the fourth question, is anyone going to switch teammates?
Cain: I'll remain.
Capri: Rayna will switch with me.
Rayna: Huh!? Why me out of all of them!?
Capri: I don't want to feel bad for you for not taking a chance.
Rayna: Fine...
Penny: Alright. Now for the fourth question, I start out tall, but the longer I stand, the shorter I grow. What am I?
Cain thought for a moment while Rayna was struggling to think of an answer.
Cain pressed the buzzer.
Cain: A candle?
Penny: Correct! Another point for Team Demolition Legends!
Brynn: You did a great job my sunshine! I know you can do it.
Capri: It's okay Rayna, you can switch to one of us if you want.
2 hours have passed by, the 5 rounds of questions are done, Striking Piledrivers are in the lead and Demolition Legends are falling behind since they have a one-score difference.
Marcel: Dang it... Molly, you'll take care of the last round.
Cain: I don't want to lose again!
Brynn: Don't worry, it's not going to happen.
Molly: Why me?
Marcel: I want you to redeem yourself in the game since you just joined. You can't be eliminated again after you rejoin the game earlier.
Molly: Right...
Adrian: I'll take care of this one while you guys take a break. I'll win a score for you guys since Demolition Legends lack one point.
Capri: Alright, good luck!
Rayna: Win for the team!
Priya: I mean I can't stand it if their score is the same as ours if they earn a point.
Penny: Alright, for the last question, what has a thumb and four fingers but isn't actually alive?
Adrian: (This shit is easy..)
Molly: Uh...
Marcel: Molly, you know this one, I know you can do it...
Adrian + Molly: A glove!
Fallon: I heard that she said it first!!
Rayna: No! Adrian said it first, since he knew the riddles better!
Penny: Let's not fight over it. How about one more question? I'm pretty sure that none of you guys will say the answer at the same time.
Pax: You don't want to keep your teammates waiting while betting on which team will win this challenge.
Adrian + Molly: Oops...
Penny: Alright, for the final question, I have one head, one foot, and four legs. What am I?
Adrian: (Time to think.)
Molly: I don't know this one...
Adrian pressed a buzzer by stepping on it.
Adrian: The answer is bed.
Penny: The answer is correct!
Adrian: Yes!!!
Marcel: Oh come on! We're so close!
Brynn sighs, knowing that one of them will be eliminated.
Cain: Bry, it's okay... at least we tried..
Brynn didn't say anything before he went to the cabin.
Cain: Bry! What's wrong? (Did I say something wrong?)
Marcel: Just give him some time. Maybe he got stressed out about this challenge.
The mysterious figure was watching over everything that happened while standing on the rooftop.
???: Hmm... interesting... but not now.
The mysterious figure ran away by doing parkour on the rooftops before going to the forest.
Penny: Viewers vote for one of the members of Demolition Legends to be eliminated. The contestant with the most votes will leave the show.
Molly - A
Fallon - B
Brynn - C
Cain - D
Marcel - E
