Chapter Text
Ten: Hey, guys. How are you liking your new home?
Tae: It’s so cool! It’s so fun to play with the grass!
Toko: Wow! I never thought we’d join another competition to battle for this cool new guitar!
Rana: Grandma’s guitar will always be my favourite.
Anon: Well I think having a golden guitar would be perfect for ANON TOKYO! It’s a cool new style that captures my image well.
Haruka: Hey Anon? Shut up.
Hina: Well, I wonder when the competition is going to start! I’m so excited!
Sayo: Probably when the others arrive.
Anon: You haven’t told me about those “others”
Sayo: Oh yeah. Yuto, Kenta, Reon and Yamato, surely you know some of them, since they used to be a part of our franchise as well.
Anon: MyGO!!!!!’s a newbie! We’re only two years old.
Moca: Well, at least, have you heard of GYROAXIA?
Anon: Not really. Wait! That’s the band with Yukina’s boyfriend!
Hina: And Yuto is Chisato-san’s boyfriend. I think.
Kaoru: Ah yes. Goryo-san. I’m very aware of him.
Anon: You still haven’t explained who Yamato is.
Haruka: He’s a friend of mine.
Jun: (Receives a notification on his phone)
Jun: Hey, everyone. Check in the guitarist’s group chat.
(Everyone checked their phones with Jun helping Rana.)
Hina: Oh! The other guitarists are already at the airport! And Six is picking them up!
Rokka: Well then. The competition is gonna start soon. Who’s excited?
(Later, Six and Fourteen arrived with the other guitarists)
Six: Hello, everyone!
Sayo: Kenta! You’re here!
Kenta: Well, I kind of had to, since everyone was here.
Reon: I did not sign up for this.
Fourteen: If you didn’t sign up for this, why are you here?
Yamato: When I heard that there
Yuto: I’m just here to win it for Banri.
Rokka: He doesn’t even play guitar!
Yuto: I know. That’s why I decided to join.
Yamato: I guess I’m here too.
Six: Well now that we’re all here, let’s start picking teams!
Sayo: Hey, Haruka! Why don’t we form a team together?
Haruka: Of course!
Hina: Onee-chan! You asked him first and not me?!
Sayo: You can join in too.
Hina: Yay!
Rana: Jun. Let’s be together.
Jun: Of course. And Tomoru. Do you want to join in too?
Tomoru: I don’t see why not.
Anon: So, Toko. I guess we’ll be going on a team together?
Toko: Of course we are! Now we need two more people… How about we choose Kaoru for one of them!
Yuto: I’m joining my friend Kaoru.
Anon: Uh… okay? I wasn’t expecting a boy to be joining my team.
(Yamato walked up to Haruka)
Yamato: Hey. Mind if I join your team?
Haruka: Yeah. Sure.
Hina: Yay! We have a complete team!
Kenta, talking to Reon: So, we agree we’re staying together, right?
Reon: Yep.
Kenta: Oh, and how about we invite Rokka to our team.
Reon: Are you serious? The cousin of that idiot? Why on earth would you-
Kenta: I would love to get to know her more
Rokka: Same here, cousin’s band. Let’s be on the same team
(Tae and Moca are the only ones not chosen in a team)
Jun: We’re going with Tae and you’re picking Moca. Do we agree?
Kenta: Agreed.
Reon: I only really heard about Moca through Ryo, but sure.
Rokka: Wait! I want the member of Poppin’ Party on my team!
(Everyone looked at Rokka)
Tomoru: Fine then.
Six: So, now that we got our teams, let’s all come up with names!
Yamato: Well, Sayo and Haruka were the ones who brought this team together, so we should name it in honor of them.
Hina: If you say so.
Haruka: How about Team HRSY?
Sayo: I’m fine with that.
(Team Name: Team HRSY)
Jun: Rana. What are we gonna name our team?
Rana: Matcha.
Tomoru: Are you… sure?
(Rana nodded)
Tomoru: Okay then, Matcha it is.
(Team name: Matcha)
Moca: It’s a 7/10 name. Not a big fan of it.
Anon: Let’s be called ANON TOK(Y)O!
Toko: That’s an awesome idea!
Kaoru: What a wonderful name, my dear princesses.
Yuto: I’m fine with that.
(Team Name: ANON TOK(Y)O)
Tae: Can we just be R.A.B.B.I.T. again?
Rokka: No! We gotta be Poppin’ Party!
Reon: But half of us are in GYROAXIA. Surely our band takes precedence.
Kenta: Well, I suppose we can call ourselves “The Cool Colors”, since, you know, we all are cool colors.
Rokka: Actually yeah! I’m green, you’re teal, Tae’s blue and Reon’s grey!
Tae: I like that idea.
(Team Name: The Cool Colors)
Fourteen: Okay, are you all done naming your teams?
Everyone: Yeah!
Six: Okay! The first challenge is to get to the top of The Have Cots’ Tower. The first team to reach the top will receive a reward, while the last team to reach the top will be up for elimination.
Sayo: Are you gonna tell us… where it is first?
Fourteen: No, I don’t think we will.
Ten: On your marks! Get set! Go!
Haruka: Okay, first thing’s first. Where even is the Have Cot’s Tower?
Yamato: I don’t even know what it even looks like.
Hina: Oh! Just look for a dark blue tower!
Yamato: Oh, really? Well I think I’ve seen one on my way here. Follow me!
(Team HRSY ran off following Yamato)
Kenta: Okay, the tower must be somewhere around… here.
(The Cool Colors arrived at the tower)
Tae: How do you know about this place so much?
Kenta: Research. That involves bingeing BFDI on the plane.
Rokka: Well, now that we’re here. Let’s start climbing.
Reon: How about no.
Rokka: Reon. We need all our team members up there. You’re just gonna drag us down.
Reon: You’re starting to sound like your cousin, you know that.
Kenta: Just do what she says, Reon.
(The four of them started climbing the rocky bases that the tower rests upon)
(Cut to ANON TOK(Y)O, who finally arrived at the tower)
Anon: So we just have to climb to the top of that? Sounds easy enough.
Toko: Let me have a go!
(Toko ran over to the base and started to climb it.)
Toko: Ugh… Almost there…
(She looked up and saw that she wasn’t even a third of the way up)
Toko: Aw come on.
(She fell off, with Yuto and Kaoru catching her)
Toko: Thanks.
Yuto: I think we need a better strategy.
(Meanwhile, Matcha was running around)
Jun: We’ve been running around in circles.
Tomoru: Where is that tower?
Rana: Maybe we can look at a map?
Moca: Good idea.
(Moca opened the maps app on her phone and searched for the Have Cot’s Tower)
Moca: Looks like the tower is 700m northeast of us.
Jun: Let’s go! … Wait, which way is northeast?
(Rana points in one direction and they started running)
(They finally reached the actual tower)
Reon: Finally.
Rokka: Wait! We should probably check if someone’s inside.
(LOCK knocks on the door and a purple haired woman answered)
Lollipop: Oh, hello… people I don’t know.
Rokka: Oh hi… uh…
Kenta: Rori Caram, or Lollipop, how you would be preferred to be called.
Lollipop: Yes. That’s the one. I’m assuming that you’re fans of me?
Kenta: No, we just want to get to the top of your tower. For a contest.
Gelatin: Wait! Who gave permission to use our tower as part of a challenge?
Bubble: Sorry. That was me.
Lollipop: Bubble. I should’ve expected more from you.
Tae: (Exasperated) Can you PLEASE let us in.
Lollipop: (Sigh) Fine.
Rokka: Yes!
(The four of them ran inside)
Gelatin: Oh! And after the challenge, please stay a little while!
Lollipop: Gelatin? No.
(The Cool Colors reached the top of the tower. Six was there)
Six: Congratulations, Cool Colors. You guys are the first team safe!
Rokka: Yes!
Six: You can have some free time downstairs.
(They all walked down)
Rokka: This place is pretty cozy. I think I might live here.
Lollipop: Get your own place to stay.
(Yamato and his team finally reached the blue tower)
Yamato: Well, here we are. A blue tower.
Hina: That is not the Have Cot’s Tower.
Yamato: Why not? It’s a blue tower, like you said.
Hina: I should’ve been more specific in hindsight. You have led us to the Big Rotating Building. Well, it used to be. The actual spinny part has been possessed and transported to a new location.
Yamato: Oh. Weird.
(Haruka was busy looking up something on his phone)
Sayo: Looking for the actual location of the tower?
Haruka: Yep, and it’s… A MILE AWAY?
Hina: We need to make up for our lost time! Lead the way, Onee-chan’s boyfriend!
Sayo: Not my-
Haruka: On it! (The four of them ran off)
(Meanwhile, with ANON TOK(Y)O)
Anon: How about we launch ourselves with a catapult!
Kaoru: My, my! What a wonderful idea. Soaring through the air.
Yuto: Well first we need some materials.
Toko: Well I found this old stretchy thing (Spongy’s Friendship bracelet) lying on the ground a few ways off. I think it would be perfect for a slingshot!
Yuto: Okay. Let’s get to work.
(So they began a montage of constructing the slingshot)
Anon: Okay, who’s up first?
Yuto: Well, how about we start with the lightest one. How heavy are you guys?
Anon, Toko and Kaoru: A lady must never reveal her weight.
Yuto: Of course.
(Cut back to Team HRSY)
Hina: My legs are tired.
Yamato: Just keep going. We’re almost there. Haruka, how far are we now?
Haruka: Only about 500 meters or so.
Sayo: Good! We’re almost there.
Yamato: We can’t stop now. The other teams are so far ahead of us now)
(Yuto was pulling Kaoru on the slingshot)
Kaoru: Um… I’m not so sure about this.
Yuto: Relax. I just have to aim for the base of the tower. I just have to… I think it’s here.
(Yuto let the slingshot shot and Kaoru started flying)
Kaoru: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
(She flew PAST the tower and into the distance)
Yuto: Too far?
(Anon and Toko nodded)
Toko: I’ll go get her.
(Matcha finally made it to the tower)
Moca: Finally. We’re here. Now all we have to do is to climb this pillar and-
(Moca sees that Rana was already on the top of the base)
Moca: How on earth did you get up there?
Rana: I dunno.
Tomoru: Well don’t just stand there. Find a rope and give it to us!
Rana: Okay.
(Rana went in)
Lollipop: Oh. Another one. I’m assuming your team is still ways away.
Rana: (nods) I need rope.
(Ruby walked over to Rana and gave her some rope)
Rana: Thank you.
Ruby: You know, I think we would be great friends. What's your name, cute girl?
Rana: Rana... Rana Kaname.
Ruby: What a lovely name! My name's Ruby!
Rana: Nice to meet you too, Ruby.
(Rana ran outside)
Rana: (Thinking) What an interesting girl
(She threw one end of the rope down)
(Her team started climbing it, but Rana started slipping. Luckily, Ruby was there to keep her steady)
(Her team finally reached the top, and they were free to climb the stairs to the top of the tower)
Six: Matcha is safe! Good work.
Rana: I think Ruby deserves some credit.
Six: Of course. Thanks for helping them out, Ruby.
Ruby: No problem
Six: So now it’s down to Team HRSY and ANON TOK(Y)O.
(ANON TOK(Y)O were still flinging members and missing)
Toko: Can we stop? My bones hurt.
Kaoru: So this was how Ako-chan felt during the twinkle challenge.
Yuto: Well we can’t stop now.
(Team HRSY arrived)
Kaoru: Great! The other team arrived.
Sayo: How are we gonna get to the top of that?
????????: Oh! Is that Sayo from Roselia?
(They turned around to see Balloony)
Balloony: You want to enter our Tower, huh? Well we built a secret set of stairs just for us. It gets tiring having to climb up the pillar.
Toko: There were stairs? This whole time?!
Anon: After them!
(They all ran over to Team HRSY)
Balloony: Anyways, the secret passcode is 27…
Sayo: ..63?
Balloony: Of course not! That would be too obvious. It’s (Enters the numbers) 2725584.
(The door opened)
Anon: Okay! That’s good to know.
Balloony: What?! When did you guys get here! (Runs inside) Have Cots! Intruders!
(Team HRSY and ANON TOK(Y)O started racing each other up the stairs)
(They reached the actual tower and ran in)
Sayo: You’re going down, Anon.
Anon: It’s on…
(Six of the eight people made it to the top)
Yuto: Phew. We’re here.
Toko: Wait! Where’s Kaoru!
Sayo: And Hina!
(Both of them jumped off the stairs. Hina landed a mere millisecond before Kaoru.
Six: And Hina wins for her team! Only barely!
Kaoru: I’m sorry, my kittens.
(Six teleported everyone to the floor)
Kenta: Hey, you said we’ll get a special prize. What is it?
Six: Oh, I’ll explain how elimination works. During the voting period, voters will vote 2 people off the losing team. Afterward, the winning team chooses one of the 2 onto their team. Nothing happens to the two middle teams.
Rokka: Cool! So we’ll be getting one of you?
Anon: I mean, we’re fine with that.
Six: Okay!
Six: Viewers! Vote for the people in ANON TOK(Y)O who you want to stay! Use the poll in the description! You can vote as many as you want! The two people with the least votes will leave the team, with one of them joining The Cool Colors
Lollipop: Okay, Team HRSY. You are officially residents of the Have Cots Tower. The boy's can go stay in Leafy's old bedroom and the girls go in Teardrop's old bedroom.
Yamato: Cool.
Hina: Yippee! I finally get to sleep in the same room as onee-chan!
(The Hikawa sisters opened the door to see Balloony has prepared a makeshift bunkbed)
Balloony: We had a few extra mattresses lying around so I have prepared this! I didn't want either of you sleeping on the floor
Hina: Yay! Dibs on the top bunk!
(They both of them ran in)
(Meanwhile, in the other room)
Yamato: A shame you aren't sleeping in Sayo's bedroom. Isn't she your girlfriend?
Haruka: She's not my girlfriend!
