《Escape The Night - Season 3》Episode 3, Part 4 - Revolt

Callum and Zoe followed Alex and Lauren outside to the peasants.
"Well, we have some challengers. Your challenge is this, finish the gauntlet first, and you will live. The other is mine," the leader said with a sadistic grin.
We find out that this challenge is to run an obstacle course, and I'm feeling good about my chances.
I'm freaking out since I'm wearing a dress, and it I think it'll be hard to run in.
They took their places at the beginning of the race. They shared one last look, then focused on the course.
"On your marks, get set... go!"
They started running as fast as they could towards the first obstacle. They had to make their way through a cage filled with barbed wire. They both ran in, but Zoe's dress kept getting caught on everything. Soon, Callum had finished and was running to the next obstacle, but Zoe was only halfway through the maze.
I'm really struggling, and I can hear the peasants laughing at me.
Finally, Zoe made it through the maze, and was onto the next obstacle. There was a wall they had to climb over. Callum was nearly over it already, but Zoe managed to catch up with him.
I was really far in the lead, and then she caught up with me. I need to pick up the speed.
The final obstacle was a small bowling alley. Callum made it there first, but Zoe was hot on his heels. They both started trying to knock the five skittles down, to moderate success. Callum was trying to be as quick as possible, but it meant he kept missing. Zoe was more calculated in her approach, and she just managed to knock all the skittles down and run to the finishing line.
"Yes!" Zoe said. She looked back at Callum. He stared at her in fear and disbelief, and her smile faded. The peasant leader walked towards Callum, who stared stepping back.

"No! Don't do this! Stop!" he cried.
"No!" Zoe shouted. Callum backed himself into a corner. The leader grabbed him by the neck and lifted him into the air. Callum gasped for breath as the leader's grip around his neck tightened. Silent tears ran down Zoe's face as she watched him slowly die. Eventually, Callum went limp, and the leader dropped him, kicking him in the stomach to make sure he was dead.
He walked towards Zoe.
"Here's the totem. And stop crying over him. He isn't worth it," the leader and his band of peasants walked away. Zoe took one last look at Callum's dead body before following Alex and Lauren back to the house.
"They're coming," Phil said. Alex and Lauren walked through the door, followed by a tearful Zoe. Wordlessly, she put the totem on top of the other one and sat down.
"This is awful," Zoe said.
"Yeah, but we need to get through it. We can mourn when all this is over," Willow said.
"Who's the next lieutenant?" Dan asked.

Immutable
The world went to hell in a handbasket. Overnight, something called the Allworld downloaded itself into the universe and everything but the kitchen sink appeared to end the planet. Governments fell and chaos reigned. People were left to fend for themselves. Of course, that's not, like, a bad thing. Pollution is at an all time low which means no more global warming. And all that corrupt bureaucracy is gone now too. Which means all those evil people refusing to do something about our dying planet are gone. Plus, people got superpowers. Which is, you know, pretty sweet. Of course, they can't be normal superpowers, everything but the kitchen sink was thrown in after all. Caleb is immutable, unable to physically change in a world completely changed; Alex was granted a system that talks to her in cat puns, but also gives her power over all cats; Nathan met a god of impulse, who gave him powers because he felt like it; and June is given a power to make things lazy, something opposite to her personality. The four of them meet by chance while hunting monsters. They met by chance but must learn to work together when an empire from space lands on Earth with the intent to subjugate the surviving humans.
