### Week 1 - Debut Posters

Twelve heroes enter the sky base and meet each other one by one in which they are soon joined by Celestia who reveals the main challenge. For the first ever ORG's main challenge, the heroes are tasked to create a poster that give off great first impressions and expresses who they are. When everyone finishes, the judges including Celestia, Dunkins, Saturn, and Savage deliberate. After deliberation, the names of Hora, Sora, Monica, Peachy, Yvette, and Persian are all declared safe which meant that Dynasty, Everest, Tiffany, Galaxy, Hamsterpants, and Broccoli were the tops and bottoms of the week.

During critiques, Dynasty is praised for the inclusion of personal life along with being the only one to have multiple "pages" to their poster. Everest and Tiffany also receives positive critiques for the visually pleasing and expressive posters. Galaxy, Hamsterpants, and Broccoli all receive negative critiques. Galaxy is praised for the written description about himself but critiqued for the poster looking a bit messy. Hamsterpants is critiqued for the poster being all over the place and not revealing anything about themselves besides interests. Broccoli is positively critiqued for the concept of their poster but negatively because of the lack of color and polish. Dynasty is declared the winner of the ORG's first ever main challenge with Everest and Tiffany placed as high. Galaxy is declared as low while Hamsterpants and Broccoli head into the extermination challenge. The extermination challenge was to create another poster that represents redemption. After both submitted, Hamsterpants is saved from elimination with a meme-like poster getting back up from crying, forcing the extermination of the first hero, Broccoli. After their elimination, the Gem of Design was revealed and cleansed of evil.

### Week 2 - Speed is Key!

After Broccoli's first elimination, the competition has gotten real and the heroes are nervous. However in Celestia's absence, Dunkins comes into the skybase to announce a mystery challenge that the heroes have to solve. The mystery challenge was to look at a Google Form and solve what the binary code means. The heroes had to decode the message and pair up the message with an E-mail on the form. After this mystery challenge ended, three heroes were able to solve what E-mail paired with the message and those were Dynasty, Hora, and Hamsterpants who all received an advantage for the main challenge and an extra point on their track record. In addition to their advantage, Dunkins gave a key to the three heroes and allowed them to open 1 of 3 doors. 2 of the doors will be empty but one of the doors will open to a Dunkins Lair which will allow for more mini challenges and more opportunities for advantages and extra points. Luckily, Dynasty unlocked the correct door to the lair, so more mini challenges can take place in the season.

When Celestia comes back she says that "Speed and smarts are crucial qualities for a winner" which is why the main challenge for that week was a mini speed gauntlet. In the gauntlet, there are a total of 10 questions that the heroes have to answer. The hero will start a timer in their hero room, complete all 10 questions, and end the timer. The goal is to have the most accurate answers in the speed gauntlet and have a faster time in case of any ties. Since Dynasty, Hora, and Hamsterpants won the mini challenge, they all had 15% of their original time taken away. However, it didn't make much of a difference.

When all heroes finished their gauntlets, scores were revealed in the skybase. Everest, Sora, and Peachy were the top 3 of the week fpr having the most accurate answers with Everest answering 10/10 questions correctly and winning the main challenge. The next names on the list were Dynasty, Hora, Monica, Yvette, and Persian who all had 8 or 7 questions answered correctly. However, this leaves a bottom 3 of Tiffany, Galaxy, and Hamsterpants who all had 5 questions or less answered correctly. Because of the division in overall scores, Tiffany, Galaxy, and Hamsterpants were all placed in the bottom and forced to take the extermination challenge.

The extermination challenge was a game of "Slash, Shield, Sidestep" which is similar to a game of Rock Paper Scissors. Each round, Celestia will say either Slash, Shield, or Sidestep and the objective is to say which out of the 3 beats Celestia's option, the quickest receiving a point for that round. Slash beats Sidestep, Sidestep beats Shield, and Shield beats Slash so if Celestia said "Slash" in chat, the hero that typed "Shield" the fastest would gain a point since Shield beats Sidestep. The first two heroes who reach 4 points first will be safe from extermination. After several rounds of "Slash, Shield, Sidestep" Tiffany and Galaxy both reached 4 points first leaving Hamsterpants with none. Hamsterpants was exterminated from the competition and the Gem of Speed was saved.
