Note: This is another repost of this chapter. Sorry guys, but some of the things I had in here… weren't good for the betterment of the story. Everything I've changed majorly will be mentioned in a Deviantart journal. I finally managed to get that thing running. I won't be posting much art (unless I can learn to do art on a computer) but I'll be posting journal entires as often as I can, so you can check there if I want to talk about something. (Also, since this account name couldn't fit, I go by The-Nameless-Ben on Deviantart.) Ok, enough rambling, let's do this repost!
People will be murdered! (In Chris' mind.)
E1 P1: Good verses Lewis!
Chris McLean walked onto the Dock of Shame wearing an orange set of clothing and in hand cuffs. Despite his appearance, he had a grin on his face. "Welcome to the brand new season of Total Drama! As you can see, the RCMP sort of don't trust me. But they allowed me time to introduce the season. So please, get your bag of popcorn and some soda and prepare for some brand new drama in Total Drama All-Stars!"
(Theme Song; I wanna be famous)
Chris's face pops back on the screen. "We're back! As you all know from past seasons, a total of thirty-nine, yes, thirty-nine contestants have competed on this show! However, only thirty-four will compete this season, plus two new contestants who have already been pre-decided. One set will be the all mighty heroes! The others will be the devious villains! So, let's get the cast on here, shall we?"
"But first, I have one little surprise," Chris said and all of the sudden, the Dock of Shame disappeared. It turned out Chris was standing in front of a scene hand drawn to look like he was at Wawanakwa. In all truth, Chris was standing on a flying helo-pad. It was completely flat on top except for three structures. One was a small building where the stairs were, while the other was a small wooden shack closest to the edge, while the third was a tiny outhouse.
"This season's challenges will be decided by a humble creature found somewhere in the universe! But that won't be revealed until after the contestants are here. So first returnee happens to be a personal favorite of mine… Heather!" Chris announced
As Chris was talking, a giant plane landed on the helo-pad. From it emerged the Queen Bee herself. "What is going on Chris? One moment I am at home in Canada, the next, I am being kidnapped! So, give me three good reasons I shouldn't beat you to a pulp!" she yelled at the host.
Chris grinned and said, "One, I am the most handsome host I know, two, you have a chance at winning one trillion dollars, and three, you will only be seeing me for a little more time. Now don't ask questions and stand over there." The host pointed to an empty area where Heather unhappily walked to.
"Our second returned contestant is the craziest out of all thirty-nine of them combined! All welcome Izzy!" Chris pointed to the plane to find it coming in a weird zigzag pattern. When it landed, it threw Chris off his feet. Izzy popped out grinning like an idiot.
"Hey Chris! Some random ninjas came to my house last night, but they didn't know I was stalking them until I knocked them all out! Then, I hijacked their plane and came here! Why I came here, I have no clue, but who cares! Hey Izzy fans, I'm back for season five!" the red head said in a crazy like manner. Chris shook his head and pointed over to Heather. Izzy grinned and ran over to the raven haired girl.
"Our third returned is one that was thought to be dead in season one. But you guys were wrong. Mr. Coconut, come on out now. Time to play," Chris said, clapping his hands. Suddenly, a giant metal suit came out of the carrier. It was a thick metal suit, plated with extra iron and titanium plating. It had arms and legs and seemed to function on it's own accord. On top was a big glass visor covering an empty space below it. And inside that space rested Mr. Coconut himself.
Izzy went ballistic and ran toward the fruit. Before she got there, however, Mr. Coconut swung one of his robotic arms and knocked the red head back into her place. Then a deep voice said, "I had to deal with countless annoyances since I was last here. I had to deal with Owen in season one. Since then, I have been strategizing to compensate for any contestant who thinks they can stop me. I am unstoppable!"
Heather and Chris took a few steps back. Chris then smiled and said, "Returnee number four was a contestant from last season. Welcome back B!" The plane landed and the gentle giant came out from the jet. He smiled and waved at the three contestants and walked silently to them.
Chris only shrugged and said, "Number five should be more talkative. Welcome back Mike!" The MPD guy walked out of the plane rubbing his head.
"Hey guys. I'm back. Hey B, what's up man!" he said as he fist bumped B. Chris just shrugged when Coconut walked up to Mike.
"I do not recognize you. I will scan you so I may be able to defeat you," the nut said and a green beam scanned Mike. Mike frowned and suddenly took a deep breath and hunched over and shut one eye.
He said, "Gosh dang it! I hate stupid technology! Making coconut's talk was not looked upon in my day! You should turn that stupid thing off!" Mr. Coconut frowned at his data scans.
"My scanner says you aren't only one person. This is illogical," the nut said as he clutched his helmet. Suddenly, the plane that was hauling contestants exploded. Out of the explosion came out Courtney, who looked raging mad.
"Chris! How dare you?! I sued you! You are not allowed to bring me back to this stupid piece of crap show!" the CIT yelled at the host.
The host merely grinned and said, "You are actually right. I am not allowed to bring you back. Now moving on to contestant number seven, we have Alejandro! Who, by the way, has fully recovered. Physically, that is." The Latino walked out from a brand new plane, clearly upset he was there. But one glance at Heather made him give a solem grin. Heather huffed, and looked away angrily.
"Well now, I see some of the tension is still there," Chris smirked. At that, a red head walked straight pass Chris and up to Mike, who kissed him on the lips.
After a few seconds, she stopped and looked at Chris. "Oh, so you expected there to be tension between all of us? You wish that would happen, since you'd get paid more," Zoey said, rolling her eyes playfully. All of the other contestants laughed except for Coconut, who was trying to scan Mike over and over.
Chris smirked at Zoey. "I'm not actually getting paid this time around. But none of that now. Welcome back… Oh no, not that nut job!" Suddenly, I plane crashed onto the helo-pad, barely missing Chris. Out of it appeared a green, sick little, mutated human. Everyone shrieked except Mr. Coconut, who walked up and slammed his fists onto the human, knocking him out.
"Chris, according to past knowledge, that is past contestant Ezekiel. He is one of the more deadly contestants, due to your mutations with him. He should not be allowed to compete," Coconut stated to Chris. Chris himself straightened himself.
"Hey, don't go pointing fingers, I didn't invite him back! Now, welcome back fan favorite Owen!" Chris said and gestured to the next plane, which landed safely on the helo-pad. Then the door burst from the plane, scattering the contestants.
Owen ran out of the plane yelled, "Sweet Scott! I almost died in that stupid plane! Oh the agony!" he yelled than passed out exhausted. Izzy glared at the unconscious Owen and rolled her eyes, clearly angry.
"Oh come on, did you have to bring him back?" Izzy snarled, clearly very upset that Owen was alive. Chris shrugged at Izzy then grinned.
"Hey, this season, I'm not calling the shots. Since Owen mentioned Scott, let's give a warm welcome to Scott himself and another warm welcome to Dawn, who is, ah, monitoring Scott's critical condition," Chris said and gestured to the next plane, which landed with absolutely no hassle. Out of it exited a girl pale as the moon in a blue button up shirt and purple skin tight pants. She was pushing a chair which had a red head inside who had a frozen confused look on his face. Around his neck was a green jacket.
"Hey Dawn, it's been a while," Mike said, offering his hand to the moon child. She smiled and kindly accepted it.
"Greetings friends. I am back. I hope that we don't get betrayed by a villainous monster like Scott again," Dawn said, starting out angry, then sighed and smiled again.
Zoey noticed this and said, "Hey Dawn? Since you were the one Scott hurt the most last season, why are you the one pushing him around in the Trauma Chair?"
Dawn's smile faltered a little, a tear exiting her eye. No one caught it, due to Dawn wiping it away quickly. She said, "Well, someone should at least try to be nice to Scott. I know he hurt me, but we should all give second chances right?" Everyone nodded and smiled at Dawn. After Dawn finished talking she pushed Scott a little ways away from the others, which everyone was okay with. If anyone had bothered to notice, they would have seen her trying to hold back tears.
"Well, I'm glad we all had that wonderful catch up moment," Chris said sarcastically, "but we have a show to get on the road! Next contestant is everyone's favorite cynic Noah!" After the plane landed, Noah walked out of the plane reading a book.
He looked up for a few seconds to say, "Oh yay, I'm back to this death trap known as a game show. I am so excited," and went back to reading. Everyone looked at Noah, waiting for him to talk to them, but Noah continued reading.
Chris interrupted the silence by saying, "And my number one fan is back this season, along with her pesky boyfriend!" The next plane hovered over the helo-pad and a purple haired girl holding a brunet guy jumped off the plane and landed safely on the pad.
"Yay! Another season! Codykins and I will win this time for sure! Come on Cody-wody!" said Sierra who dragged Cody over to the other contestants. Cody looked paniced and mouthed 'help me' as she dragged him away from the others.
"And the now albino jock from last season, Sha- Idiotic Dork, Lightning!" Chris said. After nothing happened, Chris turned around, only to be tackled by Lightning.
"Sha-No one calls Lightning an idiot! This time Sha-Lightning's gonna win!" he said and ran over to the other contestants. Lightning stood close to Dawn and Scott, which made Dawn move away a little bit.
Chris rubbed his head and said, "Ow! Lightning, you better be glad I'm not legally able to do anything painful to you this season! But let's start a rivalry to make me happier. Welcome back Gwen!" Gwen peered out of the next plane, carefully looking out for Courtney. Gwen walked out, making her movements as slow and careful as possible.
"Hey guys," Gwen said, rubbing the back of her head. Courtney surprisingly remained calm, looking at Gwen carefully. Heather glared at Gwen and huffed. Gwen sighed in relief that no drama happened and went to stand with the others.
"Next up, our nine guy, Trent!" Chris announced. The black haired musician just out of the next plane and walked toward Chris.
"Hey man, nice to see you again," Trent greeted. "Promise no major drama this time?"
"No promises," Chris smirked. "After all, you caused a lot of it in Total Drama Action. You have to face Gwen and several others again in future episodes."
"Don't remind me," he muttered and went to stand with the others, as far away from Gwen as possible.
"Now it's time to introduce one of my least favorite contestants, Harold!" Chris gestured toward the next plane, where Harold exited out of the plane. He had a faint smile and walked to stand over by Izzy, who greeted him happily.
"Hiya Harold! How's it going? Is it going absolutely cheesy!?" Izzy asked cheerfully.
"It' been cool. Went to some crazy Kung Fu classes, you know? I learned a bunch of brand new skills I can't wait to try out."
"Sounds fun!" Izzy said. "Maybe I should show you some of my crazy ninja killer moves!"
""Next up, let's all welcome back Beth!" Chris announced. Beth exited the next plane, looking thoughtful and a bit irritated.
"Hey Chris. Let's keep this short, alright? I need to think," she said, glaring at most of the contestants. Most were taken aback, but mostly unfazed.
After Beth walked over to stand with B, another person practically fell out of a plane flying overhead. Actually, three people, two of them making out. The first one was a guy in a red jump suit. He was screaming, as if he did that every day. The two making out were both blonde, the male wearing a cowboy hat, the girl wearing a blue jacket. Chris quickly got out of the way when the red jump suit guy landed, very, very painfully. The couple landed, they landed softly on the red guy.
"Welcome back Tyler, Geoff, and Bridgette!" The three contestants, Geoff and Bridgette making out, walked over to the other contestants, standing around the unconscious Owen. Tyler groaned and got up to stand near Noah.
Chris readjusted his hand cuffs a little then said, "Welcome back fan favorites Katie and Sadie!" The plane swooped down, dropping off two girls, both squealing with absolute joy. Chris covered his ears and yelled, "Quit your squealing and go stand over with the other contestants!"
The girls shrugged and stood over next to Ezekiel and Coconut. At this point, Coconut went crazy overload trying to scan Mike, continuing to fail. When the two girls went and stood over with him, Coconut quickly scanned the girls. "BFFFL's, Katie and Sadie, only competed in one season, not a threat," he concluded and continued scanning Mike. Both girls glared at Coconut and turned away from him.
Chris then said, "Welcome back power house Jo!" The next plane slightly hovered over the helocarrier and Jo jumped off the plane straight onto Lightning.
"We gonna have a problem this season sha-idiot?" Jo asked him in a very angry tone. Lightning tried struggling but Jo had to strong a grip. He finally admitted defeat and nodded his head. Satisfied, Jo stood and went to stand next to Heather.
"Nice work, you are a true villain," Heather said to her, hiding an evil smirk. Jo was taken aback by the compliment then grinned.
"Hey, thanks. Not every day I get complimented for the things I would like to get complimented on," Jo said, standing a little taller than before.
"Our next returnee competed last season and had a problem with radiation. But, thanks to some technology from our research department, she is now back to normal. Welcome back Dakota!" Out of the next plane fell a girl with blonde hair wearing very bright pink cloths. Her skin was a light shade of orange.
"Hello guys. Thanks for letting me back for another season, since I'm back to normal and all…." Dakota said, a little shy since everyone last season hated her guts. Then someone very fat landed in front of her, letting out a grunt of pain. Dakota yelped and jumped back a little, until she realized who fell.
"Sam! I didn't know you were coming back this season!" she yelled in joy and ran up to huge the very much in pain gamer. Sam groaned a little. Once he had woken up completely, he quickly kissed Dakota, who kissed him back.
Once they stopped, Sam said, "I thought you weren't ever talking to me again! I came back so you could at least notice me again!" Dakota gave Sam a smile.
"That's what I was doing! Ever since Daddy took me away to turn me back I thought you would hate me. When I went back to look for you, I couldn't find you. I thought if I came back on the show, you would understand I only left to make myself beautiful again so you could like me better than when I was a mutated freak…" she said, rubbing a bracelet she had on.
Sam grinned. "Hey, I like you in any form you're in. Your mutated form is way cool, but normal Dakota is just as awesome!" Dakota smiled and kissed Sam again. Both had to stop and cover their ears when they heard a loud shriek come from the next plane. They turned to see a blonde jump out and run away in panic.
"Help! That fat guy kissing that really well dressed model is ugly!" she yelled, running over to hide behind Beth.
Dakota growled at the newcomer when Chris said, "Welcome back Lindsey, our number one idiot on this show! And also, let's say hi to Cameron!" With that, a really small black kid fell out of the oncoming plane. He landed flat on his face.
Mike walked up with Coconut following him and said, "Hey Cam, thanks for coming back."
Cameron looked up and smiled. "Anything for my best pal. I'd help you win no matter what!"
"Next, let's welcome back DJ!" As the next plane landed, DJ walked out of it, waving to all the other contestants.
He walked up to Chris and asked, "Hey, we aren't going anywhere where there are a lot of animals this season are we? I don't want to hurt anymore of them like I did back in season three and all."
Chris shrugged. "I actually don't have a clue, I didn't plan anything this season. Go stand over with the others, maybe you'll find out from now till the first challenge." DJ did as he was asked and stood next to Geoff and Bridgette.
"Let's welcome one of the hottest contestants ever, Justin!" Before Chris even finished, the hottest guy any of the contestants have ever seen, minus Alejandro, walked past Chris. He was topless and he winked over at Katie and Sadie, who fainted. Justin walked over to the two unconscious girls and stood there.
"Ok then, let's bring back Brick!" Chris called.
The cadet, after hearing his name, jumped out of the plane, readying himself for a perfect landing. However, at the last second, he tilted just a slight bit and he landed in the splits. He moaned in extreme pain and landed on his back.
Dawn was about to run forward to help him when Scott's trauma chair's red light beeped. Dawn stopped moving and sighed, going back behind Scott's chair. It ended up being Zoey and Mike who helped Brick to his feet and walked him over to the now crowded contestants.
Chris then said, "Now, for the final old contestant competing this season, one of the most popular and the one who has caused the most drama on the show ever, Duncan!"
Up to this point, Courtney was very calm about Gwen being around. But the second she heard Duncan's name, she hissed. "Boyfriend stealer," she scoffed at Gwen, which made Gwen sigh. The delinquent himself walked up to Gwen and gave her a quick kiss. Gwen gave Duncan a small smile, then sighed when he turned around. As soon as his back was turned, Courtney shot daggers at her.
"Now, this season, there are two brand new contestants joining us this season! Let's start out with the guy in a similar suit as Coconut, and a similar name to certain plant from last season, it's Larry!" Chris said and a giant suit walked forward.
The suit itself looked exactly like Coconut's. What was inside, however, was nothing like Coconut. It was green, with black hair in a ponytail. His eyes and mouth were both sewn shut. Larry was a shrunken head.
"Hello," the head said cheerfully, "I hope to become acquainted with all of you. I know I may just be a head, but I promise you, I am pretty smart and quite friendly once you get around the fact I am only a head." He carefully walked over and stood next to Mike. As soon as he did this however, Mr. Coconut got behind him and started scanning the shrunken head.
"Unknown origin. Same metal alloy used in suit as mine. New contestant. Possible threat," he said and continued scanning Mike. Larry raised an eyebrow and Mike just shrugged.
Chris grinned and said, "Finally, for our last competitor this season, my absolute most favorite contestant I have chosen this far, all welcome the most evil creation alive, Vallowsmeir!" The next plane landed onto the helo-pad and everyone shivered, wondering what the new super villain looked like. And then, he walked out.
He wasn't at all human. In fact, his head was a sock puppet. So were his arms, and legs. His body was made of the same material, a brown type of wool. Around his shoulders he wore two gray restraining cuffs. His painted on face was a red devilish grin and to read eyes. His arm were giant puppets, only shaped more like mittens and were not painted on. His legs were stocky and he seemed to have perfect balance.
"Hmph, humans. If I were to choose, I would have obliterated this planet already," the puppet mumbled so the other contestants wouldn't hear. He then said aloud, "Hello contestants! I am Vallowsmeir, king of… well, demons really. But since we are friends, call me Val." Every looked at the puppet curiously. Then, since someone had to, Courtney laughed.
"Oh, right, king of demons," she said, laughing like crazy, "all you are is a very weird looking sock puppet!"
Val, for a split second, seemed to have changed his painted on smile to a look of pure death and hatred. No one noticed minus Larry, who frowned for a moment. But as soon as it changed evil, it switched right back to his devilish grin.
"Ah yes, you noticed that I am, well, a puppet. Since I am a demon, all humans think of me as bad. But just because my people are does not mean I am. I, however, being the king, was captured and taken prisoner inside this puppet form. These cuffs you see hold me inside. But please, I am friendly, and intend not to harm any of you," Val said, hiding a small smirk. Most of the contestants seemed to agree with this. The only one who truly didn't believe him was Larry, who continued to frown at Vallowsmeir.
Chris then said to the contestants, "Well, welcome to Total Drama All Stars. This year, because of last season, I am stuck in prison. Since we have a five year use of you guys, we figured to do one last season before we have to cut you lose. However, since I got these charges, I am unable to host this season and forced to co-host via video screen."
At this, all of the contestants cheered. Chris scowled and said, "You don't have to be that excited. Why don't a few of you express your thoughts? A temporary confessional shaped like previous seasons has been set up over there." He pointed to the outhouse. "We have more civilized confessionals throughout this ship, so feel free to use those. They are small one man bathrooms like in World Tour, but they still work. If any of you have some returning thoughts, feel free to express them now."
Outhouse Confessional: First this season!
Vallowsmeir: Pfft, I hate these vermin. Me like them? HA! BURN IN HELL HUMANS! Enjoy the heat of eternal pain! Nice demons? That's a bunch of #$%. I have a plan. I know what I need, who has it, and what I need to do to get it. If what I assume is correct, the new host is precisely who I expect.
Mike: So, back another season. Yeah, I know Chester is back. So is Manitoba and Svetlana. I decided to be a little fairer to them and let them out more. Zoey is off limits though, and they know it. I think this might be a good season for me this time.
Dawn: Hello friends. This season I wish to help the environment and not be betrayed by the same evil Scott used against me last season. (She sighs, another tear exiting her eye.) Yea, exactly like last season.
Izzy: Alright! Explosivo is ready to go boom boom! Hahahaha, nah, I'm over him. So, another season. I hope it doesn't go like season three. (She holds up his fist revealing a not so friendly finger.) That's for you Owen! That's for dumping me when I was unconscious! This season, I am taking you out the hard way! (She then smiles and laughs.) Nah, just kidding! I do hope he gets out early though.
Gwen: Great, not only is Courtney on this season, Duncan seems to miss all the glaring she does at me! (She sighs and puts her face in her hands.) Why do I always end up with the bad things happening to me?
Mr. Coconut: These contestants are weak. I shall crush them in no time flat! But I will need an ally. Perferably one who can pull their own weight and me as well, since I'm mostly the schemer.
Sierra: Eee! I'm so excited! With Cody by my side, I don't think this show will get any better than it already has! Plus, with these new contestants, I can update my blog more than I ever have before!
Scott: (His red light flashes.)
Alejandro: (He looks forlorn.) In World Tour, I was a jerk. I preyed on those who needed the money more than I did. And for what? A year in a robot suit? I hope that, this time around, I can redeem myself for all my wrongs.
B: (Gives thumbs up to the camera.)
Zoey: This season, I hope me and Mike get to the finale this time. It was mean of Scott to take him out, and for what? Because he had allies and Scott didn't? It was stupid! Although, it doesn't compare to Dawn, she was hurt the most. I do have to wonder why she forgave Scott so easy. But, that's her business, not mine.
Lightning: This time, Sha-Lightning's gonna win! No one's gonna be able to stop me! Sha- yea!
Noah: Ugh, Chris is really getting annoying. I only agreed to come back because I literally had nothing better to do.
Jo: Lightning, Scott, this season, you will lose and I will win! But to do that, I need an ally. And I know who.
After everyone used the Confessional, all the contestants walked back to Chris to find two platforms, one red, and one yellow. After a minute, Chris said, "This season, we decided we would go heroes vs. villains! Based on your past actions, we will place you into the two groups. Also, in the order we call you off, make four groups of five, one of which is only three members. Now, Heather, Lightning, Scott, Ezekiel, Duncan, Mr. Coconut, Jo, Noah, Dakota, Izzy, Trent, Gwen, Justin, Alejandro, Geoff, Sadie, Vallowsmeir, and Courtney, go stand on the red spot. I hereby dub thee the Villainous Vultures!"
Confessional: Might as well group them all in one place.
Gwen: What?! Why am I on the villain's team?! I have done plenty of good on this #$% show! Oh gosh, swearing wasn't good. What's wrong with me?!
Vallowsmeir: Putting me on the villain's team doesn't help me at all Chris! Although, I could lie my way through it. Also, with Gwen, Sadie, and Dakota on this team, I do have some allies so I don't look suspicious. Ugh, why are humans so #$% annoying?!
"Now, in the order I called you, stand in the numbers. Remember, five per number. Now, let's contin…" Chris said before he was interrupted.
"Why is Sadie a villain?! If she's a villain, I have to be a villain! Make me a villain!" Katie said.
Chris glared at her and said, "No, this season, no freaking team swaps! Well, under my command anyway. But anyway, continuing before I was rudely interrupted, I will announce the heroes. Remember to stand in groups of five in the orer announced. Lindsey, Cody, Sierra, Cameron, Harold, Brick, Katie, DJ, Bridgette, Owen, Mr. Larry, Dawn, Mike, Zoey, B, Beth, Sam, and Tyler, your now the Heroic Hamsters," he said and they all walked over to their directed spots.
Confessional: Now this is a full out battle for Good vs. Evil!
Larry: Interesting. I was called in to stand with four of my favorite characters from last season. I wonder why Chris paired us off
Zoey: Oh my gosh! I got paired up with Mike, my most favorite person on this show! Can today get any better?
Once everyone was in their spots, Harold asked, "Hey Chris? Is there a reason you had us paired off in groups of five? Wouldn't it have been easier to pair us into groups of six?"
Chris scowled a second and said, "The other guy can't do math. But the reason we separated you like we did was because your bunk mates have been pre-chosen, and the people you're standing with are the ones you're bunking with. Oh, and you will all be sleeping in the same room, so have fun with that."
Confessional: Co-ed is Code Red!
Heather: Chris paired me with four guys, none of which I am attracted to. They better stay away from me or they will get painfully removed from the game!
Vallowsmeir: Hmmm… This could work well to my advantage. With Courtney and Sadie bunking with me, I can play on Courtney's emotions, and Sadie's depression. Chris, despite being human, you would make a great demon.
While the fact of the co-ed cabins sunk in, most of the people were quite happy with their bunk mates.
"Well friends, it looks like it's us five in a cabin," Dawn said to her fellow cabin/teammates. B gave her a thumbs up. Dawn slightly blushed at this fact.
"Yeah, I'm glad it's us five instead of a villain perv," Zoey said, looking at disgust at the villains.
"Much agreed, although I do wish an older contestant were with us. One of them could help us learn who and who not to trust," Larry said.
Mike was about to say something when suddenly someone bumped him from behind. Turning, he noticed Scott trying to get past him. "Oh, hey Scott. Sorry, here, let me move out of the way," Mike said and allowed Scott to pass him. While passing, Scott's green button beeped. Mike nodded toward Scott.
Confessional- Dawn is my favorite contestant!
Mike: Huh, maybe Dawn is right. Yea, I know Scott didn't say thank you, but I'm sure that green beep meant thank you. I guess you really can change.
Zoey: I am so glad that the only guys bunking with us are B and Mike, because I know they won't go peeking where they're not supposed to. I don't know about Larry, but he seems nice enough.
Not too far away, a villain group was talking. "Ok, listen up, since I'm the best one for the job, I'll lead our team. The rest of you are too crazy, too boring, or too non-human to lead," Jo said, puffing up her chest.
Suddenly, Izzy tackled her to the ground and said, "Well, I don't know about you, but I feel a little non-human myself! Hey Mr. Coconut! Can I toss you around for no reason at all?!"
Mr. Coconut quickly scanned Izzy and read over her file. "Contestant Name: Izzy. Competed in: Seasons 1, 2, and 3. Possible threat: High," he stated and went to scan Noah.
"Oh great, a fruit thinks I'm dangerous. What's next, a hockey puck?" Noah complained and continued reading his book.
Dakota felt a little nervous, fiddling with her bracelet. Izzy took notice and grinned at her. "Hey, I'm sure you'll do great this season," Izzy said to her and bounced off. Dakota gave a small smile in Izzy's direction.
Confessional: Dakota has no friends except Izzy!
Dakota: Izzy's right. Just last season I was such a brat… and this season I'm even more a freak… but Izzy's right. I still have Sam, despite being on separate teams. I just hope we both merge this time.
Jo: These losers need to have some respect to me. I'm the one who is going to have to drag their butts to the finale. But if we have to cut someone, I have to say the shrimp. He's useless, all he does is whine and it wears down my nerves faster than I can run.
Izzy: For those of you thinking it, I'm a bit more sane than the last few seasons, but I'm still crazy! You have been warned! Mwhahahaha!
After everyone was mostly settled with their new groups, Chris coughed to get their attention. When none of the contestants answered, Chris scowled and picked up and air horn. He pushed the button and all of the contestants covered their ears in pain.
Seeing he had their attention, he announced, "So, since you all are introduced to your new teams and groups, I say it's time for your first challenge and to introduce you to someone new this season. Follow me to the elevators and we'll get started." Chris started walking toward the elevators and the two teams followed.
(Villainous Vultures)
As they walked, Val decided to try to work his magic. He walked up to Courtney and walked next to her. After a few moments, Courtney sighed and said, "What do you want? I'm not taking what I said back, I still think your some trick Chris is playing on us."
Inside Val's head he most likely had some violent images to take out Courtney, but physically he smiled and said, "Well, you're entitled to your opinion of me. I just wanted to talk to you about your past performance. To be honest, you by far are one of the better contestants, despite what the fans think."
Courtney looked flattered by what Val had said, but then asked, "What do you mean, what the fans think?"
"Oh, you haven't heard? Well, the fans say that Gwen is a better competitor than you. I think this is pure rubbish. You are the best competitor by far," Val said, hiding a smirk.
Courtney pondered a minute then looked confident. "Your right! I am better than Gwen! She is just a piece of #$%! The first time we lose, I am going to take her out in one swing!" she said, looking irritated. Val couldn't help but giving a big devilish grin at her.
"I agree. How about a proposal? If I help you take out Gwen, down the road, you have to help me take out someone else," Val said, holding out his hand.
Courtney thought five seconds a smiled. "It's a deal!" she said and shook Val's hand.
Confessional: Achievement Unlocked: First Alliance!
Courtney: I know I'm getting played by Chris, but Val has a point. I am better than Gwen. And you fans who think otherwise are going to pay!
Vallowsmeir: Pfft, child's play. No one will suspect a thing. Courtney is a bigger threat; that I was not lying about. The only reason I choose to turn Courtney on Gwen was that with Gwen gone, Duncan has no protection. And when Duncan realizes that, I'll form an alliance with him and double cross Courtney. I'll play the same thing on the others when the need arises.
As they approached the elevator, Chris stopped and turned back to the contestants. "Now there are two elevators going down. One is for the villains, the other is for the heroes. Go to your respected elevator and wait for further instructions on the video screen when you reach the bottom," Chris said and walked over to a door. The contestants shrugged and went to their respectful elevators.

As the heroes crammed inside the elevator, Katie sniffled trying to keep from crying. Being away from Sadie was beginning to be too much for the BFFL, and she just wanted to curl up and do nothing. She sniffled again. This time, DJ heard her, and he walked over to her.
"Hey, you doing alright? I noticed you've been sad since the team assignments, and I was wondering if I could do anything," the animal lover said.
Katie shook her head, but gave DJ a weak smile. "No, there isn't anything you can do. But thanks anyway DJ, I appreciate it." DJ nodded toward her and walked to the elevator, Katie silently following him.
Confessional: I'm not doing ok, I can't do anything!
Katie: That was nice of DJ to ask if I was alright. I guess someone on the hero's team notices me.
DJ: What? Can I not ask women if they're ok? I was only being polite, like how my momma taught me to be.
After almost everyone had entered the Heroes elevator, the last two left were Owen and Larry. "Please, after you Owen," Larry said politely, gesturing to the elevator. Owen grinned and jumped inside. The elevator, however, slowly started lowering after Owen got inside. Being cautious, Larry tried to squeeze inside, but at the rate the elevator was lowering, his suit wouldn't fit.
After a moment of ponder, Larry quickly lifted his protective glass, took out his head, removed the universal translator, installed it to himself, and threw his head into the sinking elevator. The unfortunate person who got hit with Larry was Tyler, who fell over after Larry hit his head. After bouncing off, Dawn caught him before he hit the ground.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry Tyler. My head wasn't intended on hurting you," Larry said to the hurt teen. Tyler just gave a thumbs up, signaling he was alright.
Confessional- Use your head!
Owen: Oops. This is why I should never get on elevators before shrunken heads. All I do is make them lower. I wonder what would have happened if we were supposed to go up?
Tyler: Ouch, that head sure can hit hard! But I'm sure he didn't mean too. He is, after all, only a head.
Larry: I am so very sorry, I wasn't really aiming. When you're under pressure and you're only a head you don't tend to think straight at all. I do hope I can retrieve my suit at one point or another, I feel quite underdressed without it. I'm so glad Dawn was there to catch me.
As their elevator reached the bottom, the T.V screen flipped on. Chris was there holding a remote control. "Hello heroes. At this point in time you are nearing the bottom of the elevator. As a treat, I decided to have one last challenge as me as host. So, you have two options. Return to the top of the helo-pad and await further instructions, or, you can go downward and try to find another way. Either way, your challenge is longer than the villains so I'm giving you a five minute head start," Chris said and pushed the top button on his remote control. The elevator doors swung open, showing a maze of paths through a bunch of junk.
Chris continued, "So you know, it will be easier to split off in your bunking arrangements. There is a special twist this season, so it may be better in doing so. There are several ways to the top or bottom. I suggest you hurry though," he said and hit the bottom button on the remote control. All of the sudden, all over the maze were a bunch of red numbers. And they all seemed to be counting down. Chris finished, "Cause this plane is about to blow in twenty minutes."

"Let's Sha-do this!" Lightning said and jumped into the elevator. Close behind him were Ezekiel and Val. Val rolled his eyes at Lightning, feeling very annoyed he was near the front. But, after two or three more steps, he looked at Ezekiel and had a thought.
"You know Zeke, I can understand why you turned all mutated," Val started, looking at the sad looking the contestant. Zeke looked up in surprise, as no one has ever talked to him on the show with a polite tone.
Val hid a smirk and continued, "I mean, no one ever gave you a chance. Always voted off first. As I'm a newer contestant, I can understand the worry to get voted off first. It's someone no one wants."
At this, Zeke nodded and bared his teeth. Val, knowing he was succeeding, sealed the deal by saying, "You know, I can guarantee you not getting the boot first, if of course, you vote with me tonight." Zeke pounded his chest and held out his hand. Val gave Zeke an evil smile and shook the mutant's hand.
Confessional: Achievement Unlocked! Double Power!
Vallowsmeir: Ezekiel is the one and only contestant I would want in the finals. After his mutation, he can't think. But he is the only human that isn't human. If I can, I rather rip the shrunken head in half in the finale, but I'll keep Zeke around just in case.
After all the villains were inside the elevator and was progressing downwards, the T.V. screen popped on. It was on Chris who was crying a little bit. "Well guys, this is good bye. You guys have been the most fun people to torture, blow up, and make you do dumb things. I'll really miss you," he said and picked up a tissue to dab his eye. He set it down then continued, "But since this is the last time I can actually intervene with you guys, I have one last surprise."
At this point, both elevators had reached the bottom. They had not opened yet. On the screen, Chris was handed a red looking button. "Villains, this is your fair well gift from me. You may notice in the back of your elevator, there is some safety climbing gear. I suggest you get that on," he said and pushed the button. Around the elevator, all of the metal fell off, revealing that they were in a glass elevator. They also noticed a wire leading from the elevator all the way to another plane not far from their location.
"Your challenge is to do one of two things. One is to climb up the side of this helo-pad and receive futher instructions, or option two, go down the zip line. Your challenge is shorter than the heroes, and since I have to be fair, the elevator doors will not open for five minutes. But make you decision soon," Chris said and pushed the button again. At the top of the elevator, a red number flashed. And it was counting down. "Because as soon as the doors open, you have five minutes to get out of there before you're blown to pieces."
And done! I do have to say that this chapter is a lot longer than any other chapter I've written. And it's a cliff hanger. Suck it! I'll update soon. I figured I do this long a chapter but in parts. That way, you can enjoy the characters longer and I can get more of a learning experience out of it. Love it? Hate it? Leave a review. Or not. Till next time, Benjamin Ellimist, out.
