Kitty: Welcome to the Masked Toon Singer, ladies and gentlemen, and it's time for the Battle of the Sixes! Our six finalists, which consists of Kraken, Hornet, Gazelle, Cactus, Panther, and Jester, will be battling it out for a spot in the finale! Now, before we start the battle, let's recap the score for the "Golden Toon Ear Trophy." Isabelle's still in first place with 6 points, but since Principal Cadence has guessed Joey Wheeler as the Rat, she now has 5 points, and is catching up to her. Terry Bogard is trailing behind with 4 points, and poor ol' Fred Flintstone's still in last place with only 1 point.

Fred: I know for a fact that I'm gonna get more right this time around! I just know it!

Cadence: Why don't you just admit defeat, Fred?

Terry: Yeah. You've got no shot at winning that trophy.

Fred: Oh, just you wait, you guys! Just you wait.

Isabelle: Oh, boy. :roll:

Kitty: Anyway, for this round, we have something interesting. Each of our contestants has a safe that holds something that could serve as a clue to their true identity. So, after they perform, the TUFF Troopers will bring their safe onto the stage, and I'm gonna put my safe-cracking skills to good use, and crack them open. Now, let's get this started, shall we? Let's kick it off with everyone's favorite tentacled, sea-dwelling creature who is actually quite a softy. That's right! Let's hear it for the Kraken!

Kraken: This is making my heart race faster than it ever has been! I'm in the final six, hoping to make it to the finals! It seems that my journey to overcome my stage fright is coming full circle, and I just need to make it to the finals in order to do so. I wouldn't have made it this far without the support of my dearest friends, both my actual friends as well as the ones that are furry and scaly. But, don't let my kind nature throw you off! This Kraken's looking to come out on top! And, there's no way I'm backing out right now. I'll show everyone out there that there's so much more to this shy wallflower. I'm so excited, I feel like shouting to the high heavens! Woo-hoo.
Song: "Listen To Your Heart" by Roxette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01VrpOfPdw4

Kitty: Oh my gosh! That was incredible! The Kraken's definitely getting better with each performance!

Cadence: I'll say she is! Although, I can't help but notice something. Her timid nature seems very familiar to me.

Terry: Remind you of anyone you know, Cadence?

Cadence: I guess.

Kitty: Well, maybe this can shed some light on the subject, Cadence. Let's crack open the Kraken's safe!

*The TUFF Troopers push out the Kraken's safe, and Kitty begins to crack it open. After figuring out the combination, she opens it, and inside the safe was a Nintendo Switch.*

Kitty: A Nintendo Switch, huh?

Isabelle: Could this character have a game on the Nintendo Switch? (thinks she knows who it could be) Could it be my friend Whitney?

Kitty: Well, you never know, Isabelle. ;) And, while our panel tries to piece together who the Kraken might be, let's bring in our next contestant. Another surprise favorite among the viewers, it's the antlered vocalist herself, the Gazelle!

Gazelle: Holy guacamole! Here I am, as part of the final six in this competition! I have a hunch that I might make it to the finale, and that's not joke I can tell you! It's hard to believe that this antlered angel got her start by bein' a part of the wrong crowd. I've done my fair share of bad stuff in the past, but I don't think I see myself as that bad of a gal. In fact, in recent years, I've tried to clean up my act a bit, especially after hanging out with a shark, a glob of clay, and a little guy with a big head. ;) But, there ARE days where I just wanna pound some poor sucker into the ground, and smack 'em 'till they're nothin' but paste! But, I'm feelin' generous today, and right now, I wanna share my gift of music with everyone, and hopefully it's enough to get me into the finals. ^^
Song: "Call Me" by Blondie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoRjm-8x8qE

Kitty: Wow! Gazelle's calling out to us right now! :O

Terry: Yeah, she's definitely getting better with each performance!

Isabelle: She certainly is. :nod:

Kitty: Alright! Now, let's crack open the Gazelle's safe, and see what's inside!

*The TUFF Troopers push out the Gazelle's safe, and Kitty begins to crack it open. After figuring out the combination, she opens it, and inside the safe was a Snack Pack of pudding.*

Kitty: Pudding? Could this character have a sweet tooth of some kind?

Fred: (coming onto the stage, and taking the pudding so he can eat it) What? I missed lunch. ^^;

Kitty: :shrug: Oh, well. While Fred's eating the Gazelle's clue, let's bring in our next contestant. She's been buzzing around this season, and putting the sting on every competitor she's come across. Let's hear it for the Hornet!

Hornet: I'm not gonna lie. Being in the Smackdown was kinda scary. And, given how formidable Polar Bear seemed to be, I thought I was gonna get squashed. But, I got loud, and stung him 'till he cried home to his mommy! I guess it was my "dumb blonde" charm that got me through it, but I guess I was just lucky that I won. After all, even though my family has absolutely no idea that I'm actually doing this show (heck, even I don't know I'm doing it), I know that they're supporting me no matter what, especially my little bro. He's considered the most sensible one of all of us, and yet, somehow, we actually take him for granted. A LOT, actually. ^^; So, I'm gonna dedicate this next song to him. I hope you guys and gals enjoy it! ;)
Song: "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKflQn-ieDU

Kitty: That was incredible, Hornet! And, the fact that you dedicated this to your brother just makes it even sweeter. :)

Cadence: I know! It's nice that the contestants decide to dedicate their performances to family.

Fred: Yeah, I know I'd do the same to my little Pebbly-Poo. <: )

Kitty: Okay, enough of the mushy stuff. Let's get down to business. Bring in the Hornet's safe so we can crack it open!

*The TUFF Troopers push out the Hornet's safe, and Kitty begins to crack it open. After figuring out the combination, she opens it, and sees a picture of Abraham Lincoln inside the safe.*

Kitty: Abraham Lincoln? Well, let's noodle on it a bit. And, while we're doing that, let's move onto our next contestant. He's a surprise favorite that's been sticking to the competition for quite some time. So, give it up for the Cactus!

Cactus: I never thought I'd get this far in the competition, but here I am! Since I'm surrounded by five other talented individuals, I've got to give it my best shot if I'm gonna survive! I'm ready to slug it out with the best of them, and I plan on breaking down my opponents until they spill the beans! And, while my boss may be a self-centered doofus, and would probably destroy my chances of victory like he did that one time, I never give up, and I kept creeping forward. Now, the song I chose may sound a bit campy, but if it brings me to the finale, my boss will be weeping on his knees, and who knows? He might be forced to resign, and hand his position over to me. You never know. ;P
Song: "The Coast" by Paul Simon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCXbjx2eDxU

Kitty: That was really good, Cactus! You certainly are gifted at singing. ^^

Cadence: I must admit, he actually sounds kinda cute. :)

Terry: Oh, really?

Kitty: Okay, everyone! Let's crack open the Cactus' safe, and see what's inside. ;)

*The TUFF Troopers push out the Cactus' safe, and Kitty begins to crack it open. After figuring out the combination, she opens it, and inside the safe was a garden gnome.*

Kitty: A garden gnome? :-? Well, while the panel tries to piece the clues together, let's bring in our next contestant. It's another fan-favorite, and a strong contender for the finale. It's the shadowy feline with the grace and elegance of an angel. That's right! It's the Panther!

Panther: It's hard to believe that I'm in the final six in this competition! And, to think that if I hadn't survived what could've been my ultimate fate, I wouldn't be standing here right now. I mean, yeah I'm a tough as nails girl, but I can always count on my friends to get me out of trouble. Let me tell you, I've been stepped on and mistreated almost my entire life, even being believed that I was evil. I mean, look at this face! Do I look evil to you? I guess you can say that it was because in my world, most people are scared of what they don't understand. I can't control how I was born, so this song I chose pretty much conveys that. Not only will it get me to the finals, but it'll show that jerk that just because we're different, it doesn't mean we're evil.
Song: "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BsLd4Y060Q

Kitty: Wow! Talk about making a statement! Panther surely isn't holding back with the finals around the corner!

Isabelle: I imagine what that jerk she keeps referring to would think if he ever saw this.

Cadence: Um, Isabelle. I think he might be dead at this point. ^^;

Isabelle: But, what if he rises from the dead, and haunts us? O_O

Fred: (not buying it) Sheesh. And, they call me the dumb one.

Kitty: Let's not worry about that, Isabelle. Right now, let's see what's inside the Panther's safe, shall we?

*The TUFF Troopers pull out the Panther's safe, and Kitty begins to crack it. After figuring out the combination, she opens it, and inside the safe was a big bell.*

Kitty: A bell, huh? (picks the bell up, and rings it) Pardon the expression, but I'm sure this will ring a few bells in the panelists' heads. And, while they do that, let's bring in our final contestant. His outfit is colorful, and he's got a few tricks left up his sleeve. So, please welcome the Jester!

Jester: Boy, I never thought I'd make it past the Smackdown with Rat! But, here I am, one of the six finalists looking to become the next King of the Masked Toon Singer! It's too soon to start partying, though, 'cause I'm not holding anything back in the coming trials. I've been pushed to the sidelines all my life, just showing up to play sports, but this is my time to shine! And, maybe one day, I'll get my chance to smash with the best of them, rather than just offering some assistance when need be. Well, maybe with this performance, I'll let off some steam, and maybe showcase some moves that will revolutionize your brains! 'Cause this fool is no fool when it comes to winning!
Song: "Space Cowboy (Yippie-Yi-Yay)" by *NSYNC ft. Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS-cymQhbzk

Kitty: Holy smokes! The Jester's taking us to outer space!

Fred: Yeah! And, we didn't need a slingshot to do so!

Terry: You sayin' that 'cause there's no space program in Bedrock?

Fred: Oh, you're a real comedian, Mr. Bogard!

Kitty: At any rate, let's crack open the Jester's safe, and see what's inside!

*The TUFF Troopers push out the Jester's vault, and Kitty tries to crack it open. After figuring out the combination, she opens it, and inside the safe was a tennis racket.*

Kitty: A tennis racket, huh? Well, let's see what we can make from it. And, that's it for the performances in the Battle of the Sixes. Now, it's up to the viewers!
