This section contains spoilers for the storyline of Turtle Man and DaPhantom, proceed with caution!

At The City of Nexus Arena, the Vice President speaks on the mic and welcomes everyone in the audience to the annual Nexus Olympics, revealing it to be the seventh one to have happened so far. Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. are within the audience, excited to see the event since they have never physically attended one before and debate over which snacks they should have. The Vice President reveals that the challenges that will be happening this year include jousting, trampolining, boxing (which he came up with) and arcade gaming; the contestants are Barry the Boulder, Ellie, Victor, a tall guy in a trenchcoat who probably isn’t three kids stacked on top of eachother, Boss and Officer Jones. As the trio continue to argue in the audience about snacks and Turtle Man thinking MrBeast Burgers are actually made of MrBeast, the Devourer and Sentinels are watching the arena from above, with the Devourer planning to sabotage the event in any ways he possibly can. Storm does not want to take part in any sabotaging and just wanted to relax and watch the event whilst Veiled reluctantly agrees to it, them moving quickly as the first challenge is about to begin.

The Vice President blows the horn and begins the jousting round, with Barry the Boulder going first who manages to joust surprisingly well despite being a literal boulder. Meanwhile the Devourer and Sentinels are brainstorming ideas that they could sabotage the first challenge: Veiled suggests that they could throw a rock onto the path so that the competitors would trip over whilst jousting, and this leads into an argument between the Sentinels about their names having changed recently which goes on for so long that the first round is over. During the first round, the tall man in the trenchcoat fell over whilst jousting, revealing that he really was 3 kids stacked on top of eachother and as a result was disqualified from the competition. This frees up some spots in the contest for anybody else who might wanna join in on the Olympics, and DaPhantom immediately signs the three of them up to join for the next challenge: trampolining. The three of them have done trampolining before so think that this should be a bit of fun and decide to join in, with Barry the Boulder going on the trampoline first and getting disqualified after he broke it thanks to being a boulder. After a new trampoline is brought in, the Devourer decides to unscrew some screws from underneath it whilst nobody is looking which should cause it to break for the next person who comes on and possibly injure them. The next person on the trampolines is Ellie, who does cause the trampoline to collapse a bit whilst jumping on it but instead uses this to her advantage and manages to pull off some cool tricks, to the Devourer’s annoyance. Victor, the trio, Boss and Officer Jones manage some cool tricks on it too and manage to progress to the next round, with Storm praising the Devourer for actually managing to help some people out. The next challenge is boxing, but instead of regular boxing it is the Vice President’s special Bear Boxing™ where the contestants have to box against a bear. The Devourer next decides to set the bear’s paws on fire so that anybody who boxes against it will be set aflame, which actually does work as Ellie is burnt whilst fighting against the bear and runs out of the arena screaming, thus disqualifying her from the olympics. Victor throws some pies onto the bear’s paws before boxing, thus putting out the flames and allowing everyone else to box it normally. As another attempt of sabotage, the Devourer got the Riftspace to spit out some flowers which had spikes all over them in an attempt to deter the competitors, but this failed too since all the spikey flowers hit the bears instead.

The trio, Victor and Boss manage to make it to the final round, but Officer Jones was disqualified too since he passed out after the bear roared at him. In the final round, the competitors can choose 1 of 10 arcade games to play and Victor chooses Bake to the Beat, which he manages to reach level 30 on. As Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. get on, Storm reluctantly suggests the idea that they could cut the power to stop the games, and the Devourer is very proud of him for suggesting a truly evil idea. He gets Veiled to sneak into the Arena’s power room and slash all the wires with his sword, thus shutting off all the power and turning off the arcade machines. As the Devourer loudly gloats about his success over having finally sabotaged the olympics, the Vice President offers pitchforks and torches to everyone for a cheap price which the entire audience uses to chase the Devourer and Sentinels away the Vice President decides to randomly choose the trio to give the trophy to, thus deeming them the winners of the Nexus Olympics even though they didn’t really earn it. The trio and Victor decide to go play some games at the Nexus Arcade alongside cats Cloud and Rainbow, whilst the Devourer and Sentinels could be seen still running away from the angry mob in the background.
