《BFB Voting Thingy》Episode 9: I'm "Tie"rd
Advertisement
Blocky: Hey, Basketball. How are things going?
Basketball: Fine. Why do you ask?
Blocky: Well, I saw what happened last episode, with TV and all. I was wondering if we could try to sort things out.
Basketball: Trust me, I've tried. And he just never listens! At this point, I've done everything- but give up!
Robot Flower: Are you guys talking about TV?
Blocky: Yeah, why do you want to know?
Robot Flower: Me and TV have close ties, maybe I can try to talk to him?
Basketball: Knock yourself out I guess, just don't expect anything from him.
*POV switches to Team Ice Cube* Barf Bag: The announcer hasn't done anything... at all. Where do you think he could be?
Donut: Well, as my good, eh, acquaintance, Lollipop, was saying, he would normally just pop out in the middle of nowhere!
Bomby: That's stupid!
Naily: I agree, where is he already?
Gelatin: Geez guys, relax. We should cherish our time without having to see his face!
Naily: I'm anxious to see the results! I don't want to get eliminated!
Bracelety: I don't mind if I get eliminated, because if I do, I get to see Ice Cube again!
Naily: Where did Ice Cube even go?
Announcer: Do you want to find out?
Naily: AH!
Donut: Told you.
Announcer: Anyways, it's time to start cake at stake. Everyone, get into position.
Bomby: You don't need to say that! By now, we already know where to go.
Barf Bag: Wait, where's Spon-
* CAKE AT STAKE! *
Announcer: Hello Ice Cubers, to your second elimination! We got 10 votes this time, double of last time!
Gelatin: Ya never know who's gonna vote, so always stay alert!
Bomby: What is that supposed to mean?!
Announcer: The first person safe, was the only person with zero votes. Your prize for being safe is a pancake.
Bomby: Was it ME?
Announcer: No. It was Gelatin.
Gelatin: Aw, yeah.
Announcer: Bomby, no need to worry, as you, Barf Bag, and Spongy are all safe with just one vote!
Barf Bag: Oh, phew. But where is Spongy?
Bomby: How would I know!
Announcer: Bracelety and Donut both only got 2 votes. Good for them, as they are the last safe.
Bracelety: Oh, I like pancakes.
Donut: Ah, the viewers must not be a fan, huh.
Naily: But that means...
Announcer: Naily is eliminated, with 3 votes!
*Naily was incredibly anxious. She desperately tried to look for any exit, but inside, she knew trying to escape was just going to prolong her elimination. *
Naily: I guess I'm the one that was nailed today...
Bracelety: We're real sorry Naily...
Naily: It's ok! Just keep going for me guys... You too, Bomby.
Announcer: Ready to go?
Naily: Yeah. *Naily disappears, leaving Team Ice Cube with one less member, and low in morale. *
Bomby: I'm going to find Spongy! I need to talk to him!
*Bomby races out of the elimination area, with Barf Bag and Gelatin walking slowly behind. *
Donut: Agh, why did it have to be Naily!? She at least wanted to win. Couldn't it have been me?

*Bracelety paused for a second, stopping what she was doing. * Bracelety: I know how you feel, Donut. I've really wanted to go see Ice Cube, and I would much rather be eliminated than have to see any of my other team go.
Donut: Well, hey, we're still here, at least. It must mean we have some fans!
Bracelety: We don't really have fans. People just like Naily a little less than us. *Bracelety goes back to what she was doing. *
Donut: Oh. Yeah...
*The scene switches to the normal contest taking area*
Remote: Announcer, what's up?
Announcer: I'm thinking...
Marker: Thinking? Of what?
Announcer: What do you think?
Remote: Oh. The contest. Okay.
Marker: Come back when you have the "tie"me to tell us!
Announcer: Aha! Thank you, Marker.
Marker: What did I do?
Announcer: You gave me an idea for a challenge!
Needle: What is it?
Announcer: A tiebreaker!
Ruby: What are you talking about? The challenge hasn't even started!
Announcer: No, that is the challenge. To break a necktie!
Snowball: Oh. That sounds easy.
Announcer: Every necktie is made out of yoyle metal.
Snowball: Aw, c'mon!
Announcer: Go!
*Meanwhile, somewhere along the Goiky Canal...*
Spongy: Is someone there?
Bomby: Yeah! It's me!
Spongy: Oh, hey Bomby. Did I get eliminated?
Bomby: No... but Naily did...
Spongy: Naily!? *Spongy comes to the conclusion that he caused his team to lose, and for Naily to get eliminated, and worst of all, he wasn't even there to say goodbye to his fallen friend...*
Spongy: I'm a horrible friend... why couldn't it have been me?
Bomby: No, Spongy. I'm not here to say you're a bad friend. YOU AREN'T. But I did come here to say that you need to help us, so we don't lose anyone else.
Spongy: Alright. *Spongy jumps back onto land* What's the challenge?
Bomby: It's to burn a tie made out of yoyle metal.
Spongy: Hmmm... I think I might have an idea...
*Free Food POV* Eraser: Guys, what do we do?
Puffball: Well, I'm not going to say anything, since no one cares about MY opinion.
Eraser: Who said anything about that?
Stapy: Wait, what if we use my staples to loosen the metal?
Marker: That could work!
Bell: Seriously?
Foldy: What's wrong?
Bell: There's no way this idea will possibly work.
*Foldy's face turns annoyed.* Foldy: Do YOU have any better ideas?
Bell:
*Bleh POV* Taco: Okay guys, any ideas?
Lollipop: We could use Saw to cut the metal!
Gaty: Seriously?
*Taco looks over at Saw* Taco: Are you fine with this?
Saw: I guess so!
*Teardrop quickly grabs Saw, and starts moving her back and forth across the metal*
Saw: Huh!?
Lollipop: Unrelated question, but has anyone seen Dora?
*Team Ice Cube POV* Gelatin: Do you think Bomby would be back by now?
Donut: I guess so?
Bomby: Hey guys! I'm back, and so is Spongy!
Spongy: Hey guys. I'm really sorry about last challenge, and hopefully you guys don't stay mad at me.
Barf Bag: We could never stay mad at you! But now we need to focus on the challenge.

Spongy: Luckily, I have an idea. *Spongy pulls out a flamethrower.*
Donut: Woah, where did you get that?
Spongy: I stole it from Yellow Face awhile back. But it needs fuel to run.
Bracelety: How do we get fuel?
*Spongy grabs Bracelety's pancake, and throws it in the flamethrower's fuel section*
Bracelety: My pancake! :(
Spongy: Ok, that should be enough fuel.
*Spongy burns up the metal necktie with the flamethrower*
Announcer: Wow. What a sizzling way to win the challenge. Team Ice Cube is safe. You win a rope.
Bomby: Yay!
*BEEP POV* Balloony: What if we use Rocky to-
Leafy: Actually, I think Rocky has done a lot for us. Why don't we leave the challenge up to someone like... Roboty?
Rocky: Mhm!
Woody: Where is Woboty?
Nickel: Yeah... I don't see him anywhere.
*Iance POV* Fanny: What is our plan?
Lightning: I don't have one, and plus, even if I had, Pencil would-
Pencil: Ok, I don't have a plan.
Lighting: See!
*Bubble looks over to an angry Snowball punching the metal tie*
Bubble: Is this working?
Snowball: NO!
*Bubble then turns over to see Ruby, holding a strange gadget*
Ruby: Hey guys, look what I found!
Bubble: Is that a bubble transformer?
Ruby: You sure know it!
*Ruby uses the transformer on the metal, turning it into a bubble*
Snowball: GRR! *He punches the bubble, popping it*
Announcer: Iance is safe!
Flower: Good job everyone!
*ABNTT POV* Golf Ball: Everyone, to my secret factory, now!
Blocky: Secret factory? Yeah, no. I need to sort things out with someone.
8-Ball: I can go to your factory, Golf Ball.
Tennis Ball: Me too!
*GB, TB, Robot Flower and 8-Ball go to the underground factory, while Blocky, Basketball, and TV stay behind*
Basketball: Are you going to talk to him?
Blocky: I will try to.
Basketball: Thanks.
*Death P.A.C.T. POV* Liy: Can't you just suck up the tie, Black Hole?
Black Hole: When I suck up yoyle metal, it has... weird effects. I'd rather not.
Tree: Since when was this?
Bottle: Why haven't you told us sooner?
Black Hole: Look, do we have any other ideas?
Pen: Luckily, I have this pizza cutter! It can cut right through the metal!
Pillow: Ooh! Sharp.
*The pizza cutter barely makes a scratch.*
Pen: This may take longer than I thought.
Tree: You don't think?
*The Losers POV* Pin: So, how do we destroy the metal?
Cake: I don't know, plus, I'm kinda tired. I might go to sleep.
Clock: Cake, you can't just- ugh. Now what?
Pin: Firey, can't you just burn the metal?
Firey: Ugh...Fine.
*Firey burns the metal*
Coiny: Good job, Firey!
Needle: Yeah!
Announcer: The Losers are safe.
Clock: Why do those 4 never seem to care about our ideas?
Eggy: I mean, I didn't have an idea, but I get what you mean. Cake shows us some respect, though.
Cake: Wha...?
*Bleh POV* Saw: Is it over?
Gaty: Yeah, I guess so.
Announcer: BLEH is safe!
Taco: Okay, now that the challenge is over, who wants to help me look for Dora?
Lollipop: I don't mind!
*Teardrop nods*
*Waterfall POV* Roboty: ..-. .. -. .- .-.. .-.. -.-- --..-- / .--. . .- -.-. . (FINALLY, PEACE.)
*Roboty notices a sound.*
Roboty: .-- .... --- / .. ... / - .... . .-. . (WHO IS THERE.)
*A figure comes out of the shadows.*
Dora: DADADA (Fool.)
*Dora kicks Roboty off of the waterfall, sending him plunging down the sky.*
Dora: Adios.
*BEEP POV* Cloudy: So when do you think Roboty is-
*A big CRASH noise is heard, with Roboty hitting the metal at full speed, destroying the metal tie*
Leafy: See, I told you he would be back!
Nickel: Oh my gosh, Roboty are you OK?!
Roboty: --- .-- .-- --..-- / .. / -.. --- -. - - / - .... .... .. -. -.- / ... ... --- (OWW, I DONTT THHINK SSO)
Announcer: Beep is safe.
*ABNTT- 8-Ball, Robot Flower, GB, TB POV* 8-Ball: So, do we just... throw the tie in the incinerator?
Robot Flower: I think so!
*Robot Flower throw's the tie in the incinerator*
Golf Ball: There we go!
*Announcer teleports to the factory* Another Name than that is safe!
Tennis Ball: That's not our name...
Golf Ball: How did YOU get here!?
Announcer: Now it's down to Free Food and Death P.A.C.T!
*Free Food POV* Yellow Face: Stapy, execute your plan, and fast!
Puffball: Or else we'll lose again!
Stapy: I'm almost done... just a few more staples!
Bell: Ugh, why can't I lead the challenges from now on? My plans don't fail!
Marker: I've...never seen you with a plan.
Bell: Exactly! Because they don't let me have any!
Foldy: Just calm down, guys. We have this in the bag.
Eraser: Look at Death P.A.C.T, I don't think so.
*Death P.A.C.T. POV* Pie: You got this, Pen.
Remote: Yeah!
Pen: Alright, I'm almost done. Just a few more cuts and-
Bell: WAIT!
Tree: What do you want, Bell?
Bell: If you cut that thing, you'll kill it!
Liy: It... isn't alive. It's an object.
Bell: YOU ARE TOO! Why do you want to kill this thing so bad?
Black Hole: We don't. It's just that-
Bell: I don't care! For a Death Prevention Team, you guys sure love to kill!
Pen: Huh???
Announcer: Free Food is safe!
Pen: HUH!?!?!?
Bell: Ha! While I distracted you all, my team finished destroying their tie!
Stapy: See, I told you this would work.
Eraser: Good job.
Foldy: Yeah!
Pie: Aw, shucks.
Pillow: Okay, goodbye everyone! *Pillow wanders off*

Primordial Evolutions
The High Heaven Realm, a realm that has experts as numerous as trees in a forest. At this place, there lives an 8-year-old boy. This boy is called Jing Guanyu, a physically crippled boy who cannot has a crippled body and no energy system, preventing him from embarking on the paths of Essence and Energy Cultivation. The only path left to him is the path of Divine Cultivation, a mystical cultivation path that focuses on the soul and forming contracts with the Spirits of powerful Spirit Beasts that have taken human form. However, when he spends over 4 years trying to sense the spirit force of his first Spirit Beasts Spirit Realm, the rest of the clan deem him as a complete waste. One day, when the young man was 13, he met his first spirit contract, and his Legend begun there. The Legend of the creator of the ultimate cultivation Scripture in history. The creator of the Primordial Evolution Scripture, Jing Guanyu! The Primordial Emperor! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The inspiration for Book (brackets say roughly what I got inspiration from) Do note: I do completely copy anything from any books. All of this book is original and all the books mentioned below are simply inspiration that gave me the ideas in regards to whats in the brackets. It may seem similar (like with MW I also use the E-E-D cultivation but my definitions and cultivation realms are different from the inspirations) > Martial World (Cultivation Paths) > Lord Xue Ying (Non-Generic Plot) > Stellar Transformations (Unique Cultivation Technique) > Consuming Earth, Devouring Skies (Character Development) > Ancient Godly Monarch + Invincible (Martial Spirits + Own touch to this idea) > The Storm King + Lament of the Fallen (The Soul Realm/Soul Domain) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Final words: Ok, I will just say that there are several reasons why the MC's cultivation speed is so mediocre despite how "talented" he is. There are logical reasons and they will be explained when necessary. Just remember that cultivation speed isn't everything. Hope you enjoy. I will take constructive feedback and logical criticism. However, I will not even reply to illogical criticism, rants or salty people who got pissed off because the main character didn't get "that divine medicine" or "this divine sword" or whatever. Note: I have marked all 4 of the content warning boxes due to a uncertainty in how dark, gory, descriptive or traumatizing my story will get. Btw, the cover isn't my property but was gotten from a website on mythology (greek I think). IF they ask me to take it down, then I shall. IF NOT, then IDGAF. LOL
