30 minutes ago, at The Chief’s suite.

Hecatom: "Oh man, this could be the final episode! The final three is going to be intense!"
WTF-AKUMA-HAX: "Bracing for epic."
Bious: "I hope we fucked Synonym over by destroying his Dual Raptors."
Combo_Knight: "I thought you said you respect him for being a smart person and knowing how to sway and take advantage of people."
Bious: "Just because I think he deserves to win doesn’t mean I want him to."
Cyntalan: "After all this time, I still don’t understand you."
WTF-AKUMA-HAX: "Are you talking to me?"
The Chief: “I don’t understand any of you.”

Present time, at Catacrom Four.

Dallas: "We are down to our final three! Who will live and who will die? Find out what our contestants do tonight on Dreadzone!"
Aidebit: "We’re already done."
Dallas: "What? What did you do?"
Synonym: "Scavenged the Leviathan Flail."
Aidebit: "Dodged some Zombie Robots."
DukeC: "Nothing."
Quasar-Turret: ZOMBIE ROBOT DESTROYED
Aidebit: "We done here?"
Juanita: "We still have a whole show to fill."
DukeC: "Not our problem."
Dallas: "Trust me buddy, we can make it your problem."
Juanita: "I’ve just gotten word from the producer, we’ve got a special task for you to complete!"
Synonym: "We refuse."
Juanita: "If you refuse, your deadlock collars will self-destruct."
Synonym: "We accept."
Dallas: “Good to hear.” Today, you will be honouring your fallen comrades by visiting their bodies one-by-one, collecting them and throwing them off the edge of the map."
DukeC: "The edge of the what?"
Dallas: "The edge of the cliff."
Aidebit: "We’re really doing this?"
Juanita: "Only if you want to live."
Synonym: “Fuck it, let’s just get it over with.”

orochizoolander
Synonym: "The first one dead."
DukeC: "The first victim to Turretius’ evil reign."
Aidebit: "Who was this guy again?"
orochizoolander: [details=Spoiler]“Haven’t read the thread yet. I’d like to scavenge Gold Bolts this phase.”[/details]

GodotsRevenge
Aidebit: "Ahhh, the inventor of the Homoshield."
DukeC: "The unluckiest man in this tournament."
Synonym: “I don’t know that feeling.“
GodotsRevenge: [details=Spoiler]”…”[/details]

XthAtGAm3RGuYX
DukeC: "The criminal."
Synonym: "He evaded too early."
Aidebit: "Not the first wrong thing he’s done."
XthAtGAm3RGuYX: [details=Spoiler]“It could’ve gone better had Pertho not stolen my fucking gun. Messed up my whole plan really. But hey it got me out of the brig for a little while.”[/details]

Sumazndude
Synonym: "Sumazndude died?"
Aidebit: "I didn’t know he left the ship."
DukeC: "That probably explains why he didn’t survive."
Sumazndude: [details=Spoiler]“Has the game started yet?”[/details]

Blindknagg
DukeC: "The Prophet of Tourettes himself."
Aidebit: "He’s in Turret heaven now."
Synonym: "Out of all the cults in the universe, I think his has killed the least people."
Blindknagg: [details=Spoiler]“Turretius will forgive me for my sins. All others will be sent to an eternal hell without turrets.”[/details]

Pimp Willy
Aidebit: "He was such a generous guy. Always donating Gold Bolts to the needy."
Synonym: "What a chump."
DukeC: "Wasn’t it implied that he was trading them for sexual favours?"
Pimp Willy: [details=Spoiler]“This tournament was too broken. It also wasn’t broken enough.”[/details]

Augustus
DukeC: "Ahhh, the man I exposed as a threat."
Synonym: "He started the game off strong, I’ll give him that."
Aidebit: "All it took was one Database to screw him over."
Augustus: [details=Spoiler]“I was too good for this tournament. These idiots just didn’t realise it.”[/details]

infrequent lurker
Synonym: "Didn’t this dude die to a Zombie Robot?"
DukeC: "Yeah, he didn’t exactly have the best reflexes."
Aidebit: "He showed enthusiasm though, and at the end… it got him killed."
infrequent lurker: [details=Spoiler]“I’m okay with losing, just as long as my body helps fuel the Zombie Robots to victory.”[/details]

Pertho
Aidebit: "Ahhhhh, my first kill."
DukeC: "It was a pretty impressive combo."
Synonym: "That what you get for attacking me, you bastard."
Pertho: [details=Spoiler]“So I’m trying to lynch all the Mafia members, right?”[/details]

jasonC
DukeC: "Another blindsided contestant."
Aidebit: "Not being able to see it coming is the worst part."
Synonym: "Having a partner sure helped him get that far though."
jasonC: [details=Spoiler]“I only wish I wasn’t wearing an exploding collar.”[/details]

AKI
Synonym: "On the other hand, having a partner sure helped him die."
Aidebit: "Yeah, he really got screwed over after looking out for himself."
DukeC: "He played a hell of a social game though."
AKI: [details=Spoiler]“Friendship is for suckers, but forming alliances with everyone didn’t work out either.”[/details]

3rdSTRikeLOVE
Aidebit: "Another one of my victims. How fitting."
Synonym: "Proof that you can only dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge for so long."
DukeC: "Shields are a way more effective way of not getting hit."
3rdSTRikeLOVE: [details=Spoiler]“Do you think I would’ve lived longer if I’d role-claimed Vigi?”[/details]

RadicalFuzz
Aidebit: "Number 3. My Versa-Wrench still isn’t clean after that."
DukeC: "The special little guy that just didn’t have enough sugar to keep going."
Synonym: "I don’t want to know what you mean by sugar."
RadicalFuzz: [details=Spoiler]“hUrR dUrR i LiKe tO gArGlE cUm My sole regret is not being able to rename my bots Nipple and Nipple. That is all.”[/details]

Vynce (?)
DukeC: "Our fearless commander."
Aidebit: "This tournament really did show off his true colours."
Synonym: "He got way too much attention in the story though."
Vynce (?): [details=Spoiler]“B)”[/details]

DarkGeneral
Synonym: "This creepy motherfucker."
DukeC: "He always did have a certain… style to him, didn’t he?"
Aidebit: "I heard that he had four testicles."
DarkGeneral: [details=Spoiler]“Lynch: RadicalFuzz. Oh, not yet?”[/details]

Exodus.
Aidebit: "I think he was the real master of the turrets in this tournament."
Synonym: "The second richest man in this game."
DukeC: "The fact that he managed to upgrade his weapon from beyond the grave was truly impressive."
Exodus.: [details=Spoiler]“Those Zombie Robots really were a waste of ammo.”[/details]

ForgeDigger
DukeC: "The most powerful woman in this tournament."
Synonym: "The only woman in this tournament."
Aidebit: "I thought it was a sea star?“
ForgeDigger: [details=Spoiler]”

"[/details]

Skizzz
Aidebit: "He activated the wrong trap card."
DukeC: "Turretius really wasn’t on his side that day."
Synonym: "I’m counting this guy as my kill."
Skizzz: [details=Spoiler]“Courage, compassion, dashing good looks. IRON, HARD, ABS!”[/details]

Missing Person
Synonym: "The most pissed off contestant in this tournament."
Aidebit: "Did we ever find out what he was pissed off about?"
DukeC: "I dunno, I wasn’t listening."
Missing Person: [details=Spoiler]“If I could do it all over again, I’d kill more people.”[/details]

Synonym: "And now, we must respectfully send them off the cliff."
DukeC: "I dunno, these guys are kind of heavy. Can we just kick them off instead?"
Aidebit: "Yeah, that works for me."
Dallas: “And so ends our memorial episode to remember the brave, unwilling competitors that lost their lives for your entertainment. Tune in next time to see if any or all of these three join them, right here on Dreadzone!”

Combo_Knight: "Are you fucking kidding me?"

I still have my wrench, right? It’s an important artefact, it was used to kill Fuzz, after all.

Nah, pretty sure you only have 24 hours to decide what to do with multiple items.

How could I leave such an important piece of history embedded in Fuzz out of the write-up?

Oh lol, you gave me your launcher.

So are we gonna play hot potato with it or something?

So…I survived despite not putting an action in? Thought I was dead when I woke up.

Synonym: "I’ve got a present for you two."
Aidebit: "I swear to god, if you give us some shit weapons right before we start, I’m gonna drop it on your head."
DukeC: "I’ll take that Leviathan Flail off your hands if you’re done with it though."
Synonym: “Actually, my present was that I destroyed both of the weapons I had spare. Protocol 617V.83 is dead. For now.”

Bious: "Should we even bother watching this episode? It’s probably gonna suck."
Cyntalan: "Ehhh, someone might do something interesting."
Combo_Knight: "I’m just waiting for the advertisements at this point."
WTF-AKUMA-HAX: "MSPaint pls."
Hecatom: "If we’re lucky, we might even be able to see some story progression!"
The Chief: "Yeah, pretty much watching it just in case it’s interesting. With the new timeslot it’s been pushed to, I doubt it though."
Bious: “I’ll risk it. I’m going to watch ‘Phoenix Wright: Judge, Jury and Executioner’ instead.”

Present time, at Catacrom Four

Dallas: "Robot Zombies. Deadly weapons. Contestants. We have it all here, on Dreadzone!"
Juanita: "Today marks the tenth day that our contestants have been on Dreadzone, fighting for their lives!"
Dallas: "Nineteen have fallen. Three remain. Who will be the final remaining contestant?"
Juanita: "Will it be Aidebit, the player that took out Pertho, 3rdSTRikeLOVE and RadicalFuzz?"
Dallas: "Will it be DukeC, the player that took the defensive route, shielding himself from every attack that came his way?"
Juanita: "Or will it be Synonym, the player that has collected the most Gold Bolts in the history of Dreadzone? Find out tonight!"
Dallas: "…Maybe."
Juanita: "Maybe?"
Dallas: "Hey guys, are you planning to kill each other today?"
Aidebit: "Uhhhh… no. I just picked up these Dual Raptors to add to my collection. No violence today."
DukeC: "Yeah, think I’m gonna sit this phase out too."
Juanita: "Where’s Synonym?"
Aidebit: "Think he said he went to attack some Zombie Robots."
Dallas: "Huh."
Juanita: "Well, guess we’re filling the show with some slow-mo’s and action replays of Synonym attacking the Zombie Robots today then.
Dallas: “Cut and print. We’re done here.”

Juanita: "What the hell was that?"
Synonym: "Oi you blokes, ya know the chemical element for gold?"
DukeC: "Huh?"
Synonym: "Au."
Aidebit: "Did you seriously spend the majority of your time collecting Gold Bolts so that you could make that pun?"
Synonym: "No. I spent the majority of my time collecting Gold Bolts so that I could do this."
DukeC: "Did you kill all the Zombie Robots?"
Synonym: “Nah, they’re right here.”

Dallas: "UNBELIEVABLE, JUANITA! Synonym has equipped the Leviathan Flail with the Morph Mod, turning ALL the Zombie Robots into Australian animals!"
Juanita: "I thought they were meant to be farm animals, Dallas."
Dallas: "Not when wielded by an Australian, Juanita."
Synonym: "Wanna know a fun fact?"
Aidebit: "I have a feeling I don’t."
Synonym: "Australian animals are more dangerous than Zombie Robots."
DukeC: "Those animals don’t look particularly dangerous. Some of them are kinda cute."
Synonym: "There’s no such thing as a harmless Aussie animal, mate. As you’re about to find out. On ya Bruce, on ya Barry, on ya Kevin, on ya Steve, on ya Wayne, on ya Tony!"
DukeC: "Oh god. The birds. They’re coming at me. I don’t like birds. OH GOD THEIR BEAKS."
Juanita: "Yes. YES. PECK AT DUKEC UNTIL YOU CAN PECK NO MORE, THEN SELF-DESTRUCT INTO A MUSHROOM CLOUD OF SMOKE, BLOOD AND FEATHERS. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
Dallas: "Woah there, Juanita. You’re getting a little too excited watching DukeC’s life slowly drain as the Australian birds reach his innards and WHO AM I KIDDING, THIS IS AMAZING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!"
Juanita: "And it looks like Aidebit is about to befall the same fate, Dallas."
Aidebit: "Bitch please, I can take a few animals. Come on and fight me like a ma-OOOOOOOOOOF."
Dallas: "Oooooooh, and a sucker punch from the kangaroo leaves Aidebit winded and on the ground, defenceless from the predators ravaging his body with their terrifying claws!"
Synonym: "Alright you beautiful bastards. It’s time for you to finish your work and go visit our good mate the Crocodile Hunter."
Juanita: "Ooooooh, too soon."
Synonym: "Nah mate, perfect timing. AUSTRALIAN FAUNA, EXPLODE!"
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
Synonym: "Six white boomers."
Dallas: “An entirely unnecessary spectacle, as the other two contestants were already dead, but the bright explosions made for a fantastic finish to this season of Dreadzone!”

Juanita: "Congratulations, Synonym! You are the official winner of Dreadzone!"
Synonym: "Fuckin’ oath!"
Dallas: "With this victory, you have won the opportunity of a lifetime by becoming our fifth Exterminator! Fame, riches and all the women you could ever desire are now yours, as you join the elites in Dreadzone, forever!"
Synonym: "Forever?"
AlphaCommando: "S.S. Nigga, report in! Are you here?"
Synonym: "AlphaCommando? Is that you?"
Juanita: "What? I thought we disabled their communications!"
AlphaCommando: "Synonym! I’ve been searching for days! Where are you?"
Synonym: "I’m on Catacrom Four."
AlphaCommando: "Alright, I’m heading to your location now. Are the others with you?"
Synonym: "The other crew members are dead, sir."
AlphaCommando: "All of them?"
Synonym: "All victims of the Dreadzone."
AlphaCommando: "Shit, I was afraid of that. Shame too, I actually liked… a couple of those guys."
Dallas: "What the HELL is that ship doing here? Somebody destroy that thing before we get fired!"
AlphaCommando: "Quick Synonym, get in! We don’t have much time to escape!"
Juanita: "Wait, Synonym! Stay with us and become the most powerful Exterminator in Dreadzone history!"
AlphaCommando: "Don’t listen to them, Synonym. They kill innocent people. You have to be a hero!"
Synonym: “Hmmm…”
