Scramble World Trophy Episode 3 Part 1 (Abridged)

Otohime: Allow me to handfeed you, MC.
Lunch time!

MC: um / okay! / but why tho!?
---
(AC) Otohime: Classic date activity. Wait, Aegir, no!
---
Aegir steals the bite!

Otohime: You could have just asked.
Aegir: Where's the fun in that?
Chibi Gargoyle: Good lord, Otohime you really can cook!
Happy Gargoyle.

Otohime: I'm glad you like the sweet and sour chicken.
Aegir: Hey, MC. How about you handfeed me? You know, for team morale reasons.
MC: you big baby / Hey Girimekhala, I'mma feed you! / Chernobog, I'll feed you
(A) Aegir: Haha, I'm glad I joined the team. I'll win this! ...wait, really? O-oh, okay.
(B) Girimekhala: WAIT WHAT?
Girimekhala actually rolls backwards in shock, pulls MC along, and ends up on top of them!

Girimekhala: AAAA--(swallows something)--oh. Uhh...thanks?
Aegir: Where'd you learn to be such a bitch like that, MC? Well fine, I'll just kick ass later and make you serve me!
(C) Chernobog: N-no, we can't! We're in public...
Aegir: Did you just side-eye me, MC? Petty little bitch. Well fine, I'll just kick ass later and make you serve me!

Carbuncle: D:
MC: what? You want me to feed you?
Carbuncle: NO! Aren't you worried about getting drugged since half of Tokyo wants your ass?
MC: Oh. Never. / pffft / depends
Chibi Gargoyle: Hmm, jealous Carbuncle? I can feed you then!
Carbuncle: Psh, it's you who'd be fed here. I can put protein in a baby bottle if you want.
Chibi Gargoyle: How DARE you tr--(suck suck)--oh. Not bad actually?
Ahura Mazda: Hello MC, my designated rival.
Carbuncle: Pope Ahura Mazda!
MC: You! / he's your boss? / OH NO

Ahura Mazda: Several World Reps including myself made lunch for you. Here you are.
Restaurant quality food! Carbuncle wants.

MC: I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO (digs through food)
Ahura Mazda: Ah, how correct of you Ahriman. I indeed spiked my food. With protein.
Ahura Mazda changes into a swimsuit and dramatically poses on a sheet!

Ahura Mazda: Healthy body, healthy mind! I for one am glad you are participating.
Carbuncle: Oh my god now that I've met you, no wonder you get along with Gargoyle!
Tezcatlipoca: BRRRROTHERRRR!
Tezcatlipoca pops up in smoke in front of the party!

Carbuncle: OH NO THE FOOD
Tezcatlipoca: haha oh you, MC
Tezcatlipoca is talking to Carbuncle.

MC: I'm over here.

Tezcatlipoca: Oh! Well, I made lunch for you too.
Totally normal rice balls.

Tezcatlipoca: I made it so that one of them explodes!
Carbuncle: BUT WHY THO
Somewhere, some peepers.

Amaterasu: I feel shown up by everyone else's lunches now, I don't think I can give MC my honey lemon.
Tsukuyomi: Aww, it'll be fine.
Amaterasu: Oh, okay then. Will you take it if he says no?
Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi walk over. Carbuncle seems to be thinking about something.

Girimekhala: What's up?
Carbuncle: Am I the weird one for being worried about getting drugged?
Chernobog: (stares)
Carbuncle: Man I wish I had amnesia. So much lying and backstabbing in my life just to survive. How'd we end up on such different paths?
Chernobog: I wish I had your life, Carbuncle.
Carbuncle: WHAT? I always needed someone to protect me or else--
Chernobog: You were still free. I always thought I wasn't. And only MC knows how MC feels about their life.
Carbuncle: S-shut up, not like you know anything!
Ding dong, almost time to get back to the sports fest!

Later
Chernobog: So. Next up is boxing, and I have been randomly drawn to go out.
MC: You good? / I'm cheering for you! / nervous?
Chernobog: A little nervous, to be honest.
Girimekhala: No worries, Chernobog! You're an overlord and demon king. Mara and Gorozaemon were too, and they're awesome.
Chernobog: (stares)
Carbuncle: Group cheer!
Rest of Party: YEEEAAAHHH
Later
Barong: Hi, first new commentator for the next bit! Raise the roooof!
Amduscias: And second commentator speaking! Let's explain the next game, Ultimate Boxing!
The random players for this round are Wakan Tanka, Onyankopon, Kengo, Perun, Tiger Man, Shiva, Chernobog, and...
Cthugha: IS IT FINALLY MY TIME? I can blow up all I want, right?
Chernobog: This does not look good.
Perun: Scared, Demon Lord of the West, slaughterer of many?
Chernobog: ...not that I plan to keep being someone thought as such.
Perun: You won't win if you don't make up your mind.
Barong: Actually explaining now! This isn't your regular boxing, so--
Amduscias: Maybe we should hold another minute for the arena to change first.
Barong: oh okay

Boop! Arena VR settings updated!
Amduscias: Okay so we said this is a boxing match, but actually we're playing that one sandbag arcade machine!
Barong: Yep! Punch it good and get your score, which we'll compare to decide rankings! Apparently you're real strong if you hit the top five. I don't think I'd make it, but what about you Amduscias?
Amduscias: (GASP!) How dare you ask an aspiring idol that!?
Barong: But your fans and I would be stoked if you got 10 out of 10 here.
Amduscias: Oh my god???
Kengo: I could do without clowns for color commentary, but nice and simple game this go around.
Onyankopon: Too bad Ahura Mazda wasn't randomly picked this time. But I'll still do well.
Onyankopon uses Bullet Punch! The machine scores him 5/10.

Onyankopon: Eh, good enough.

Tiger Man: Whoa! Wanna be a luchador?
Onyankopon: Noncommital response. But maybe you'll fall into my web where I can remodel you.
Tiger Man: Cool! Anyways, my turn.
Onyankopon: Good luck!
Pow!

Onyankopon: You got 7/10!? Wow.
Tiger Man: I could do even better with a ring to jump off of, but works for me.
Cheers from the fans!

Wakan Tanka: Okay, me next. I'll just copy what you did!
Wakan Tanka Charge!

Tiger Man: ¡Ayy! You copied us and still got 6/10!?
Wakan Tanka: It's because you have a great lariat!

Kengo: Okay, me next. Watch me go 100%, partner!
Kengo charges up!

Kengo: Oh, is this my current cap? Eh, good enough!
Kengo Punch!

Barong: OH MY GOD HE GOT 8/10!
Kengo: HELL YEAH MAN
Perun: Hmph. Not bad...for a pleb.
Perun also uses Mana Burst (Lightning) to charge up!

Perun: Behold my power!
Pow! 9/10!

Perun: HA! And you dare believe yourself to be HIS equal?
Kengo: Pffft, you only got one point higher. You didn't even get the full 10/10.
Cthugha: Ooh, it's still not broken. Does this mean I can really go all out?
Perun: What, you believe you can outdo me?
Cthugha: I mean it won't count as zero if I break it, right? I don't wanna be a Super High School Level Bag Boy if that happens! But anyways, stand back?

People step back. Cthugha winds up...!
Cthugha: They told me not to go TOO hard so... Mini-Modded Formalhaut Flare Punch!
BOOM
Contestants: (cough)
Punch Machine: Beep boop ERRORRRRRRR (blip)
Cthugha: OH NO are they gonna kick me out and sell me off!?
Chernobog: Oh my, you just melted my instant Ice Wall as quickly as it came up.
Ding! 15/10!
Kengo: BULLSHIT
Shiva: Meh. Is there another machine?
Amduscias: Uhhhh, referee meeting over an EX rating in the meantime!
New machine!

Shiva: Hmph. What is a mere gadget when I have destroyed the universe!
Hindu Punch! ...Shiva just blew a hole in the stadium!

Barong: WHAT? Already!? You blew up the machine too! Referees will hash out your score, and we still have one more person to go this round!
Perun: ...are you not using your scythe, Demon King of the West?
Chernobog: No. I choose to leave it behind.
Chernobog goes! Chernobog swings! ...Chernobog stops short!

Chernobog: ...oh, a butterfly. 
Chernobog gets 0... The butterfly flies away.

Party Waiting Room
Carbuncle: What was that about!? I thought I'd be on the winning team for once!
Chernobog: ...forgive me.
Gargoyle: Hmm...
Aegir: Welp, there goes our lead.
Rankings update! 1. Team Southern Tokyo, 36 pts. 2. Team Carbuncle, 35 pts. 3 Team Bukuro, 34 pts. 4. Team Kudan, 32 pts. 5. Team Yoyogi, 31 pts. 6. Team Eastern Tokyo, 28 pts. 7. Team Shinjuku, 26 pts. 8. Team Army Prison, 24 pts.
Girimekhala: Okay yeah it's tight now, but who'd expect someone to win 15 points in one round?
Aegir: Nah, I ain't mad about that. But what the hell was that pussing out for? I don't care about Carbuncle or winning, I just ain't about losing.
Carbuncle: BUT MY FUTURE'S AT STAKE HERE
MC: It was just bad luck, Aegir. Giving up?
Aegir: The fuck you say Freyr actually, never mind. Dammit all.
Girimekhala: ?
Aegir: Alright alright, I'll stop bitching. It still sucks tho.
Otohime: We haven't lost yet. We just need to do our best.
Chernobog: ...you are correct, Aegir. My apologies.
...

Carbuncle: ...oh, I'll go next round.
Round 8 announcement time!

Team Southern Tokyo Waiting Room
Q'ursha: Basketball. Finally my time's come.
Fuxi: Hmm. My fortune telling says danger is in your future, apparently because of who the military school is sending. Nothing personal, but you will lose if you go.
Q'ursha: Pffft.
Fuxi: I highly recommend that you don't go.
Arena
So, power usage is okay in the basketball round! But...

Tezcatlipoca: Literally break a leg.
Loki: Sure, I'm only totally hogtied in a straitjacket. No biggie. Clearly I am the intelligent choice to send into a sports festival.
Later

Q'ursha: How the hell did I not get a single basket!?
Loki: Skill issue, haha. You mad I said you should have stayed chained with your old master?
Q'ursha: Shut the fuck up!
Team Southern Tokyo Waiting Room

Tu'er Shen: What!?
Fuxi: Loki's Human(oid) Observation must have gotten to him and made him choke.
And it's not just him...
Arena

Loki: Hey Carbuncle. Interesting shine you got there.
Sus Loki...
