## Story

Leg 2 (Based off Leg 3 of The Amazing Race 18)

The race resumes at the Bund Observatory.

At pit stop hotel.

**Briana:** "We have the power to assign an automatic uturn to any team. This is a huge power cause we can go after a strong team and get them out early."

**Amy:** "I don't know who I want to use it on yet so we need to talk to the others. My first reaction would be to pick Alex & Wilted for how they talked to us on the mat but I want to explore every option."

**Alex:** "I don't like this. It feels like we will get that automatic uturn."

**Wilted:** "We might be the only team that knows it's coming up since we were right there with them."

**Alex:** "But your social game was way off. If we get uturned, that's where the blame is."

**Wilted:** "Who would've done the same thing if it was you!"

**Alex:** "I was right there and I didn't!"

**War:** "Someone's fighting in the other room."

**Coolguy:** "Yikes. Why can't we have peace?"

**Briana:** "They're actually fighting."

**Amy:** "Interesting. Maybe some weakness."

(cf) **Asia:** "On the last leg, Clara got on my last nerve so Imma go to her room and set her straight."

**Nemo:** "We love waking up early for this."

**Clara:** "I don't. I'm used to it but still. How can you like this?"

**Nemo:** "I don't. I get up super early everyday for my job."

**Clara:** "What job?"

**Nemo:** "I told you I am a lifeguard. Oh, someone's knocking."

**Clara:** "Let's get this over with."

Clara opens door.

**Asia:** "SURPRISE! YOU"RE NOT SLEEPING ANYMORE YOU FLOP!"

**Clara:** "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! THIS IS OUR ROOM!"

**Nemo:** "Don't tell me Clara didn't check to see who it was..."

**Alex:** "What was that?"

**Wilted:** "Someone's having worse problems than us."

**Alex:** "Good. Maybe they'll take the target off of us."

**Clara:** "I'M NOT HAVING ANY OF YOU! GET OUT NOW BEFORE I BEAT YOU DOWN!"

**Asia:** "WITH THOSE NOODLE ARMS?! YOU NEED A GYM!"

**Briana:** "Something's going on there."

**Amy:** "I don't think we should go over there but let's do it anyway."

**Asia:** "I'LL SLIT YOUR THROAT AND PUT YOU IN A BODY BAG!"

**Clara:** "YOU CAN'T EVEN BOOK FLIGHTS ON YOUR OWN! GET OUT OF HERE WITH THOSE UGLY SHOES!"

**Amy:** "What in the world?"

**Asia:** "YOU! STAY OUT OF THIS MRS. PINK HAIR BARBIE WANNA BE!"

**Amy:** "HEY! What's you doing coming for me for no reason?!"

**Asia:** "YOU'RE UGLY! WE'RE THE BETTER WINNERS!"

**Briana:** "Let's get out of here."

(cf) **Amy:** "I guess our curiosity got the better of us but I'm mad now. Asia really be trying me like that. Well little miss thing, we could easily use our power on you and knock you out. I don't care if you're weak, I'll be petty like that."

All other teams spectate.

**Mega:** "Of course. These two are ruining the flow."

**Nemo:** "Security please!"

**White:** "Why wouldn't they? That's how they get screen time."

**War:** "Anyone want a papaya?"

**Asia:** "NO!"

(cf) **Nemo:** "Every team came to our room to see that was going on. This is getting out of hand. We're only on the second leg and already Clara and Asia are at each other's throats. Wait, can I rephrase that?"

**Halcy:** "Let's all go out for drinks!"

**Abe:** "Not with these two. That's a terrible idea."

**Halcy:** "It would be funny though."

**Abe:** "I suppose you've got a point."

**Iconic:** "Where's Jojo?"

**Jojo:** "Has anyone seen Asia?"

All teams point to Clara & Nemo's room.

(cf) **Jojo:** "I saw Asia fighting the devil so I thought this would be a good time to spill some into."

**Jojo:** "Brittnee went through my fanny pack last night so we should uturn them."

**Abe:** "No one cares, Jojo!"

**Brittnee:** "You are a liar! Why would I go out of my way to go through your irrelevant self's bag?"

**Jojo:** "And Amy wants to bomb China."

**Amy:** "SHHHHHHH! YOU CAN'T SAY THAT HERE YOU IDIOT!!"

**Cloud:** "Wow, how insensitive."

**Micky:** "Let's go. I've had enough of this crap."

(cf) **Nemo:** "Our room cleared like magic after that. But everyone HATES Asia & Jojo even more than they did before. I didn't even know that was possible."

**Amy:** "It's almost time to start the leg. I can't deal with this!"

Briana & Amy will depart 1st.

**Route Info:** Teams must fly to Tokyo, Japan. Upon arrival, teams must find a marked rotating parking garage in Shibuya, where they would find their next clue.

**Amy:** "So before we start, we have to write down the team we want to uturn."

**Briana:** "So we were already talking about doing Alex & Wilted."

**Amy:** "After what went down in the hotel, I want Asia & Jojo out."

**Briana:** "But so does everyone else. Why not take out a strong team?"

**Amy:** "I guess we do need to think about this."

(cf) **Briana:** "We talked about it and we decided who would be the best option."

**Amy:** "Done. Let's go!"

**Briana:** "We need to get the fastest flight possible."

Alex & Wilted depart 2nd.

**Wilted:** "Warning: the winners of the first leg have secretly selected one team to receive an Automatic U-turn, forcing that team to perform both sides of the detour."

**Alex:** "I'm expecting it to be us. Let's get going."

At the airport.

**Amy:** "We found a flight getting us in Tokyo at 3:20pm. We believe that‘s the earliest one."

**Briana:** "So far we have five teams with us. Alex & Wilted, Micky & Abe, War & Coolguy, Halcy & Ashley, and Getsome & Sarah."

**Getsome:** "Are those the last tickets?"

**Booking agent:** "Yes."

**Sarah:** "Nice!"

**Brittnee:** "Can we get on the 3:20 flight?"

**Booking agent:** "The flight is full."

**Iconic:** "Crap! When's the next one?"

**Booking agent:** "3:40."

**Brittnee:** "We'll take it."

**War:** "Is there something even earlier than this flight?"

**Booking agent:** "There's a flight connecting through Taiwan that arrives at 2:20."

**War:** "That would give us a two hour lead. What's the layover time?"

**Booking agent:** "Four hours."

**War:** "That's not bad. That would give us an hour lead on the other teams."

**Coolguy:** "I don't like it. If something goes wrong, we're the only team on this flight."

**War:** "Wait, who's that?"

**Wilted:** "That's the earliest?"

**Booking agent:** "Yes."

**Wilted:** "Book it, please."

**Coolguy:** "Ok, if they did it, we can do it."

**Mega:** "We should look for a different flight. All of the back teams are on this flight but we need to get ahead."

**War:** "Go in there. There's a 2:20 flight."

**Mega:** "Thanks!"

**Coolguy:** "Was that smart?"

**War:** "I have no idea. I just wanted to make up for evicting her in BB2."

**Cloud:** "We'll take them."

**Asia:** "There's really nothing earlier. What a joke!"

**Halcy:** "Right now, we're all on the same flight that goes into South Korea, but they're on the later connection."

**Micky:** "A few teams are missing which is strange. Maybe they pulled a fast one on us?"

**Alex:** "I feel good. We have an hour lead once we get there."

**Nemo:** "We're sitting as far away from them as possible."

**Clara:** "We need to beat them."

(cf) **Nemo:** "I still talk to Asia but her and Jojo hate Clara which is bad because I'm stuck on a team with her. I need to keep her away from them at all costs."

Flights leave.

Flight to South Korea lands.

**White:** "We just got to South Korea and we've noticed a few missing teams. We might be able to get on that other flight if we hurry."

**Jojo:** "We need on the better flight!"

**Getsome:** "If they got off our flight, that means there are now seats open."

**White:** "Hey friends, are there any seats?"

**Nemo:** "Shut up! What a suck up!"

**Candy:** "Let's find out."

**Brittnee:** "Go go go!"

**White:** "Are there any seats on the 3:20 flight?"

**Booking agent:** "Yes."

**Candy:** "We got on! Yes!"

**Abe:** "Candy & White just got on. Let's see if we can find some people to book those seats so they can't get on."

**Amy:** "Excuse me? Are you going to Tokyo?"

**Woman:** "Go away."

**Amy:** "RUDE!"

(cf) **Briana:** "We were all trying to fill those seats so those other teams got left behind. But not much luck."

(cf) **Halcy:** "We saw what they were doing but we saw this as a chance to get back in the clear with Iconic & Brittnee."

**Halcy:** "Yo."

**Brittnee:** "Oh great...what do you want?"

**Halcy:** "Go over to that counter there. We have open seats."

**Iconic:** "The one we were literally just going to before you stopped us?"

**Brittnee:** "The one Asia & Jojo are at?"

**Asia:** "YASS!"

**Jojo:** "TAKE THAT!"

**Brittnee:** "Forget them! Let's go!"

**Abe:** "Are you going to Tokyo?"

**Couple:** "Yes."

**Abe:** "There's a better flight at 3:20. We can take you there."

**Couple:** "Thank you!"

**Brittnee:** "Are there any seats left on the 3:20?"

**Booking agent:** "No."

**Iconic:** "SHOOT! COME ON!"

**Couple:** "Thank you guys!"

**Micky:** "You're welcome!"

**Amy:** "Well, we stopped one team from potentially getting on."

**Brittnee:** "Did they just help that couple get on?"

**Iconic:** "Dang it! We would've been on if not for that!"

**Halcy:** "That's why I was trying to hel-"

**Brittnee:** "YOU WERE IN ON IT! YOU DID THAT TO HELP ASIA & JOJO! AGAIN! YOU'RE WORKING WITH THEM TO DRAG THEM TO THE END!"

**Halcy:** "That is not what I was doing! I was trying to get you in ahead of them!"

**Iconic:** "Then why stop us when we were literally steps away and then stall us long enough for them to get on? Make that make sense."

**Halcy:** "It...it doesn't. Forget it, let's go Ashley."

**Iconic:** "They need to go. Twice they've done that to us!"

(cf) **Halcy:** "What crappy luck! We'll just have to run it without them cause they REALLY don't trust us now."

**Nemo:** "UGH! We were too late. It looks like we only have Iconic & Brittnee with us. We're not in good shape right now."

Meanwhile in Taiwan.

**Wilted:** "You're kidding me."

**War:** "We've been on the ground for an hour now.."

(cf) **Coolguy:** "We found out that our flight had an issue on the ground and got delayed for over an hour."

**Cloud:** "We're finally moving but that delay just ate up all of our lead."

**Mega:** "We just turned into the third flight so we're fighting for last. But we'll make it happen somehow."

**Micky:** "I see it."

**Asia:** "Over there!"

Halcy & Ashley find the clue currently in 1st place.

**Mega:** "I just saw Iconic & Brittnee. We're still in this!"

**Abe:** "This is getting old. Go by them."

**Ashley:** "Ghost Town passed us."

**Halcy:** "Who cares. We need directions."

**Asia:** "GO!"

**Ashley:** "They're all honking now. Let's just go to that hotel and ask."

**Amy:** "Finally! About time they moved!"

**Getsome:** "I wonder how much time we lost on that?"

**Sarah:** "Who knows"

**Briana:** "Where are we on the map?"

**Abe:** "I'm not sure where we're at. This is making no sense to me."

**Micky:** "We need to ask someone."

**Candy:** "Where are we?"

**White:** "I don't know! This is way too confusing!"

**Sarah:** "White! Is it up here?!"

**White:** "We don't know!"

**Halcy:** "I think I see the shrine right there."

**Asia:** "UGH! What did I do wrong this time?!"

**Clara:** "This is so frustrating. I can't even talk to this guy cause of the language barrier and all he wants to do is keep us here."

**Nemo:** "So it's handled?"

**Police man:** "Yes."

**Nemo:** "Ok, thank you."

**Clara:** "Ugh! It took so long."

**Detour:** Prayer of Purity or Frog of Luck?

**Choice A:** *Prayer of Purity*
Teams must put on *keikogi* and travel to the woods near Yuhi Falls, where they would take part in a Shinto cleansing ritual. First, they must learn a prayer that consists of a chant, lighting incense, and then shouting while thrusting a walking stick out in front of them. Once they have completed the prayers, they must stand under the Yuhi Falls and endure being drenched in 45 °F water cascading down onto them for one minute to receive their next clue.

**Choice B:** *Frog of Luck*
Teams must strip down to their undergarments and put on *fundoshi* over them before walking out to a mud pit and searching for a toy frog in the mud while having mud thrown at them by locals. Once they find a frog, they may trade it with the nearby frog master for their next clue.

Briana & Amy are doing Frog of Luck.

**Micky:** "What the heck!"

**Abe:** "This is not our car!"

**Micky:** "How is that possible?!"

**Abe:** "It was stolen! I know where we parked it and the fact that it's gone missing means another team has our car."

**Alex:** "Who's up here?"

**Wilted:** "Asia & Jojo! Our shortcut worked!"

**Halcy:** "There's the box."

Halcy & Ashley are doing Frog of Luck.

**Alex:** "Please don't be us. Please don't be us!"

**Coolguy:** "Let me know if you find anything."

**Candy:** "Are we almost there?"

**White:** "Yes. WHOA! LOOK OUT!"

**Candy:** "AHH!"

**White:** "We just lost our tire."

(cf) **Candy:** "What happened was there was a giant hole in the road that blended in and I couldn't stop in time and we shredded our front tire and almost destroyed the whole front."

**Candy:** "We need to fix this somehow."

**White:** "Maybe search that square. They have something."

**Candy:** "We were lucky. It only took out the tire and we're not hurt. But we still took a pretty big hit. We're stuck here until we fix this."

**White:** "We'll figure it out. This is how we got here. We fought the odds."

**Candy:** "And we can do it again. We're still ahead of some teams."

**Alex:** "I can't see anything!"

**War:** "Asia can't shut up about that stupid uturn."

Alex & Wilted, Asia & Jojo, Briana & Amy, Candy & White, Clara & Nemo, Halcy & Ashley, Micky & Abe, and War & Coolguy chose this task. Briana & Amy won the ability to assign an **Automatic U-Turn** to a team. They used it on Asia & Jojo. At Daiyūzan Station, Asia & Jojo found their penalty.
