**Not Dodgeball** is the 14th and overall episode of Research of the Cyro-Battle! series. It was released on January 2th, 2022.

## Plot

The episodes begin with Gray and Cobalt arguing while Green and Lime watches, with Gray killing Cobalt with a head-smash and is seen in the background dancing while Green wishes for them to stop fighting, with Lime in a panicked state about Cobalt's death. Meanwhile, Olive is seen at his remodeled coffee shop with Cyan asking him about the wheels. Brown and Dandelion and behind the coffee shop, with the former being angry about the shop, saying it should be destroyed before asking if anyone brought coffee from it. With Dandelion saying he does but before Brown could be angry, he makes a plan to throw Olive out and steal the coffee. Olive throws the cup of coffee into the air and Cyan catches it perfectly, with Brown interrupting and calling his coffee "expired milk". Only for Cyan to throw the coffee at him, making him run away. Dandelion attempts to steal the coffee afterwards but it explodes him and Olive.

### Elimination

The two losing teams, A Better **Gamers** Than ***THAT!*** and Magic of Cinder, are seen at the elimination with RST getting to the votes before being interrupted by Red about the pink soldiers maskes behind him. Only for RST to swear to god that he did not steal this from amazon before going right into the votes, with everyone having atleast one vote, making Gold angry. Lavender is the first safe with one vote, receiving a mask while Ice is the next one safe with two votes, only to die from the mask crashing through her head. Dandelion and Red are safe with three votes while Helium, Licorice, and Teal are safe with four votes. Leading to the bottom four: Gold and Turquoise in A Better **Gamers** Than ***THAT!***, and Purple and Stone in Magic of Cinder. Gold askes why he was voted while Turquoise tells him to shut up, only for the votes to show that Turquoise is eliminated with seven votes while Gold survives with five votes, much to Turquoise's confusion and Gold's relieveness. Turquoise argues about the votes being unfair before falling into the eliminated place while Stone and Purple talks about what they did of being in the bottom, only for RST to tell them to look at the votes. Both Purple and Stone are shocked after seeing they were tied with 9 votes, leading to a tie-breaker challenge.

### Tie-breaker Challenge (Elimination)

Both Purple and Stone are to complete the challenge from "Chaotic Throwing", throw the ball into the basket and let it hit the buzzer and first one to do so is safe. Purple thinks of a plan before pushing Stone with the ball and runs to the basket, much to Stone's dismay. Purple successfully throws her ball in the first try and is safe, with Stone asking about the betrayal before in return, saying that she had to do so. Stone is teleported above the eliminated place and falls into the eliminated place afterwards.

### Challenge

The remaining twenty-one contestants are placed into three teams for the episode's challenge. The teams for dodgeball are listed in this table:

When the challenge began, Lime and Olive devise a plan but is interrupted when Gray eats half of Licorice's head and kills her while also knocking Olive into the dodgeballs by accident. Meanwhile, Purple insults Red only for him to grow and stomp on the ground, sending Team 2 (but him) flying into the air and dying from fall damage. Cobalt is seen choking Gray, asking him why hes always causing his team to lose, before throwing him to the ground while knockbacking himself to the ground aswell. Cobalt begans having a mental breakdown while Gold tries to calm him down, only to be called "stupid" in return. But both are interrupted and bombarded by dodgeballs from Red and all of Team 3 is up for elimination. Meanwhile, Cyan askes him a question and insults Brown at the same time and gets killed by him using a dodgeball. Only for Dandelion to panic before all of Team 1 gets ran over and killed by a large dodgeball Red made. Declaring Team 2 the victor.

### After Challenge

RST explains about the rejoin with Bronze explains why he should rejoin, only to be punched away by Chartreuse's card, which the card breaks in return. Diamond campaigns herself to rejoin after losing the rejoin to Lime in "Beaming Heights?" and Glass advocates of needing another chance after losing to Green in "Don't Race To The Bowl". But due to it being late at night, RST cancels the rest of the interview as to not deplete their energy.

## Votes

26 votes were casted, **splitting up between the two teams.** Making the total count 51 votes.

## Trivia

* This episode was suppose to be completed earlier in December. But due to a lack of motivation, it wasn't really in production until the days near New Years Eve.
* This episode is the first ROTC-B episode to be released in 2022.

## References

* Glass referring to the tie-breaker is a reference to "Don't Race To The Bowl", when he lost against Green after being tied with 58 points. Leading to his elimination.

## Goofs

* The rejoin was suppoes to be finished, but due to Algodoo crashing during the production, it wasn't finished. So it was replaced with RST saying its very late at the place.
* In the **elimination part**, it says that Turquoise is safe alongside Helium and Licorice with four votes. Thats **a mistake** as it was suppose to say Teal.
