[The episode opens with a shot of Snowball on the floor, the rest of the TPOT eliminated contestants sitting or standing facing him, awake.]
Snowball: Well, which one of you is the second tallest?
[Silence]
Snowball: Fine, then I'll just pick one of you. Uh, Yellow Face, let me stand on you.
Yellow Face: I gotta warn you, I've become kinda stretchy after I lost my limbs.
Ice Cube: Your limbs? Those legs were mine!
Yellow Face: Yeah, and you got them back!
Snowball: Less talking, more being a pedestal!
Yellow Face: Fine…
[YF hops over and lets Snowball stand on him to hit the door. Snowball starts to sink and Yellow Face begins to be squished by Snowball's weight.]
Snowball: What the? Yellow Face, hold still!
Yellow Face: I can't! I'm too squishy!
Snowball: I don't care, become solid again! I need to be able to reach the door!
Yellow Face: Need an easy and secure way to get up h--
Snowball, exasperated: Yellow Face!
Yellow Face: Fine!
[He grunts and takes his usual shape again, flinging Snowball upwards, breaking the ceiling of the stairway. Everyone else is in shock.]
Nickel: Now two of the balls are gone.
Puffball: I'm still here!
[Cut to Snowball flying through the ceiling. Snowball flies past the top of it and is now in the air. He stays silent for a bit while the wind blows. He looks at his hands.]
Snowball: Wait a minute, don’t I still have some of Two's power?
[He snaps his fingers, turning himself into Yoyle-Snowball.]
Snowball: Nice! Now let's see if…
[He claps and is teleported to the ground.]
Snowball: Seems like I'm getting the hang of it pretty well.
Nickel: At least he’s not gone forever!
Eggy: Getting the hang of what?
Cake: Hey, Snowball, have your limbs always been kinda green?
Pin: Did he just teleport here?
Clock: Wait, guys! I think Snowball has… the power of Two!
[Snowball raises his hands in defense.]
Snowball: Hey, guys, back off!
[The rest of the object try and reach Snowball to get some of the power.]
Snowball: Enough!
[Snowball pushes the rest of the objects away, and his limbs glow slightly greener for a short period of time.]
Eraser: Is it really that big of a deal? Just give it to me and I’ll keep it safe.
Snowball: Sorry, bro, but I can’t trust you guys with the power. It's not safe to give utter weaklings such power. And plus, I have more important things to do.
[Snowball stares at Clock.]
Clock: What did I do?
Snowball: You told everyone about the power! Now everyone wants a taste!
[He hits Coiny's left arm, which was reaching towards his arm, similar to the scene in IDFB 1 with the Grotatoes.]
Snowball: Grr!
[He chases Clock.]
Clock: No! Wait! Leave me alone! Leave me alooooooone!
><><><><><><><><
[The TPOT intro plays, adapted to include the eliminated contestants, but because I’m lazy, and writing this on borrowed time, you’re just gonna have to imagine what that looks like]
><><><><><><><><
[Clock is running and finds Pie.]
Pie: Hi, Clock! Wanna stop and play chess?
Clock: What?
Pie: I've got a chessboard with me.
Clock: No, I get that, but why would I play chess?
Pie: Why not?
Clock: I'm kinda on the run from Snowball right now.
Pie: Oh, you should probably run then.
Clock: I was planning on doing thatBye, Pie!
Pie: Bye, Clock!
[Clock is running and runs into Foldy, who's trying to use a recovery center.]
Foldy: Hey!
Clock: Oh, sorry. Wait, are you still trying to recover Stapy?
Foldy: Yeah, there's nothing better to do.
Clock: Snowball just got out, maybe you two could talk!
[Pause]
Clock: Or maybe not. Sorry, I forgot you don't like his team.
Lightning: I think we're good now, actually.
Clock: What?
Lightning: To clarify, Foldy and I are friends now!
Foldy: Most of the time it's just us and Remote here so it was bound to happen.
Clock: Wait, so are you good with iance now?
Foldy: Kinda. Most of the team was still really annoying to be near, except Lightning, and I'll still never forgive Match for getting Stapy out, but my hate for her is nowhere near my hate for Liy.
Lightning: They’re both stuck in Four, so at least we won't be seeing either of them for a long time!
Clock: About that… Eraser told me that Liy joined the season before he got out.
[Awkward silence. Foldy makes an angry expression]
Clock: Why don't we talk about someone else?
Lightning: Snowball!
Clock: Oh, great idea! He's currently hunting me down, so could you guys recover me or something in case he actually does kill me?
[Clock looks at Lightning's arm, which is pointing behind him, to a Snowball with slightly greener limbs. Clock sighs.]
Clock: He's right behind me, isn't he?
><><><><><><><><
Bomby: How'd she vanish like that?
Six: One of us is gonna have to find her. Which one of you is the weakest?
[Needle and Bomby point to Bell.]
Bell: I can't really go by myself, can I?
Six: I'll take you around then.
Needle: Wait, but shouldn't you stay? You probably have a special power that can break the door!
Six: Oh, I don't have any powers. Well, not anything useful.
Needle: Oh.
[Six starts to walk away.]
Bomby: Wait!
Six, slightly annoyed: What?
[Bomby picks up Bell and throws her at the door]
Bell: What was that for?
Bomby: I thought it'd work. You guys can go now.
[Six picks up Bell and starts walking.]
Bell: Wait!
Six, more annoyed: What now?
Bell: Can't you take Purple Face? I'm solid brass, so I might be able to make a dent if Bomby throws me again!
Six: Yeah, but does he even know who Barf Bag is?
Purple Face: Who?
Six: You know what, I'll just go by myself.
Purple Face: WAIT!
Six, very annoyed: WHAT?
Purple Face: Be safe!
><><><><><><><><
[Clock is still running away from Snowball, and runs into the mechanical minds.]
Remote: Woah, woah! Slow down! You could die at speeds like that.
Robot Flower: What are you even running from?
Clock: Snowball's trying to kill me!
Remote: Oh, dear! That's no good!
Clock: Can you guys recover me if he succeeds?
Robot Flower: Fear not, Clock! I'll stop him!
Remote: Me, too! You'll be safe and sound, Clock!
Clock: Wait, but that's not what I asked for!
[Clock watches the chaos happen and he hears the sound of metal being destroyed. He decides to run away again.]
[Clock runs past Eggy and Teardrop having a picnic.]
Clock: Sorry, guys!
[Pause]
Eggy: What the egg was that?
[Teardrop shrugs. They return to their picnic before Snowball runs through Eggy, cracking her shell into pieces. Teardrop’s face turns angry.]
[Cut to Clock, who is, once again, running. He trips over Rocky, and is found by Fries and Pin.]
Pin: Clock, run slower next time! You could’ve hurt Rocky!
[Clock jolts up and starts muttering and pacing around Rocky, who is sitting on a grassier patch of land.]
Pin: Uh, what’s this about?
Fries: Is Snowball still chasing him?
Pin: Oh, Clock, is that your problem?
[Clock stops moving and nods.]
Fries: Have you been running from him for ten minutes straight?
Pin: Not to worry, Clock! Back in the day, me and Fries were killing machines! We’ll be able to stop Snowball!
Clock: No, I just need somewhere to hide until he forgets about this.
Pin: There’s probably some space in Fries!
Fries: There’s probably some space in your brain if you think I’m letting him in there!
[Rocky bites a plant.]
Pin: He needs somewhere to hide, and you’re his only hope!
Clock: Uh, guys, he’s getting closer!
Fries: Ooh, I have an idea for a hiding spot!
Clock: Awesome, where is it?
[Clock walks toward Fries and is hit in the face with a shovel. He stares at Fries, who dryly stares back.]
Clock: I’m not digging my own grave.
Pin: I think Snowball’s carrying someone!
[The ground begins to rumble]
Clock: That can’t be good.
[The plant that Rocky bit grows to a large beanstalk, similar to the scene in BFDIA 21 and the TPOT intro. Clock and Rocky are flung high into the sky. Snowball hits the massive plant with Saw and Naily.]
Naily: You did not nail it.
Saw: I hATE this plan! Can you let me go now?
Snowball: If you’re just gonna complain all day, then just go!
[He throws them behind him.]
Clock: Okay, I’ve gotta be safe here. There’s no way he knows I’m on top of this!
[Snowball uses Two’s power to fly up to the top of the plant. His limbs are a basil green. Clock starts backing up.]
Clock: Come on, man, just let me go! I promise I’ll be more quiet! Why are you even so angry at me?
Snowball: Now everyone wants some of the power, there’s not enough to share! Even if there was, most of you are too weak to deserve it!
Clock: I don’t need power, I’m fine being normal old me!
[Snowball punches Clock off.]
[Pillow stands next to the plant.]
Pillow: Three, two, one!
[She catches Clock]
Clock: Thanks, Pillow!
Pillow: You’re welcome!
[She doesn’t let go of him, and a faint slide whistle can be heard as a shadow approaches the two.]
Clock: I dunno if you know, but I’d appreciate it if you let me go. I’m stuck in some sort of… clock and ball torture!
[Pillow drops him on the floor and raises her arms.]
Clock: Woohoo, I’m free!
[A large metallic sphere drops on top of Clock, but only seconds later, he’s seen walking away from behind it.]
Clock: I sure am glad that didn’t hit me.
[Clock is crushed by a second metal ball. Snowball descends from above, staring at Clock’s remains.]
Snowball: Alright, time to bring them all back. [He claps twice.]
><><><><><><><><
[Six walks out of a shadow with a large smile on her face.]
Six: Okay guys, I’m back, and I found someone who I think can help us.
Needle: Who are they?
Bomby: Where are they?
Bell: What are they?
Purple Face: Why are they?
[Silence.]
Purple Face: I thought we were just saying questions. But seriously, who are they?
[Three steps out of a shadow.]
Three: I… am Three.
