Author's Note: What's up guys? Merry Christmas, I'm back with another chapter in fact I didnt even plan on updating this for a while. But consider it an early Christmas present to those that read this. As I said this will take more of a superhero turn, based on real superheroes instead of made up ones. If you guys know of any that would fit the other characters I'd appreciate it. Happy Holidays and I hope you guys enjoy this next chapter. :D
Survival of the Sickest
Chapter 2
Legacies, Part 1
The next morning the trumpet sounded bright and early as several of the campers were stirred awake by the noise. Several of the guys groaned and turned over in their sleep a few seconds later Duncan was up doing pushups in his sleep. After showers and breakfast the gang met out by the flagpole to receive their next challenge from Chris.
"Folks I got a special treat for ya, Geoff and Bridgett step forward." He said.
The two did as were told and walked up to Chris. The host smiled as he addressed them.
"Today's the day we begin that superhero training I was talking about. What you guys are going to do is learn up on the history of the superhero that's been assigned to you. And then you will later team up with them or do battle against them Bridgett your up first." He said.
As she stood there an on screen display dropped down showing her name and stats with the Killer Bass logo beside her.
"Seeing as you're a surfer chick we've decided your best match is Aquagirl. Best known as the sidekick of Aquaman. Geoff we dug a little deeper into the online search engines and decided that your best match is the Peacemaker. A little known superhero from DC Comics, we've provided you some of the basic material on their back-stories courtesy of Wikipedia. Luckily for you it's the condensed version good luck to both of you. The rest of you will receive your superhero identities later on." smiled Chris.
Cut scene to the confession can.
"Yeeeahh! All right bro! We're going to be superheroes! Ha ha. I have to say I was never really that much into comic books though but this is awesome!" said Geoff.
"I have to say, I'm rather impressed with what Chris came up with. I can't wait to put on my wetsuit. This should be good." Said Bridgett.
An hour later Geoff was in his cabin reading about the history of the Peacemaker on his bed. The more he read the more disturbed about it he became.
"No way! Guys check this out!" he said calling them over.
"What's up?" Duncan asked.
"According to this the original Peacemaker was really messed up in the head. It says here that his peace-through-violence stance was due to his dad being a Nazi death camp commandant and that he believed the ghosts of the people he killed lived inside his glass helmet. I'm not sure I want to be this guy now." He said.
"Yeah I can't say I blame you." Duncan said.
"Dude that's seriously messed up!" DJ added.
"It turns out there were other people that used the name Peacemaker, one was a dude in a battle suit and the latest one is a black guy that rides a motorcycle. Unlike the original this guy is perfectly sane and goes by the name of Mitchell Black." He said.
"Correct." Said Chris. The gang looked up and saw him standing with a heavily tattooed man wearing a white t-shirt and jeans and had a baseball cap covering his eyes.
"This is the current Peacemaker." He said introducing him to the group.
The Peacemaker had to duck as he came into the cabin. Geoff got off his bed and went to meet him.
"It's a pleasure meeting you dude, so I guess that means we're going to be working together?" he asked.
"Likewise." He said.
"Yeah…see we've offered up a little twist. You will be working with the Peacemaker but…" the host trailed off.
"What?" he asked.
Back at the girls cabin Bridgett was reading up on the history of Aquagirl.
"Hey guys did you know that at least six different woman had used the name but they only consider two of them to be official?" she asked turning on her back in her bed.
"No, don't really read comics. Though my brothers do." said LaShawna.
"I never could see the point of reading them." said Gwen.
"Hey I wonder what superhero they'll make me." Izzy said as she started babbling about all the different heroes she could be.
"Or maybe I'll be like a villain. I think that'd be waaay cooler than being a hero because I can get away with a lot more things and wouldn't have to ever apologise! Ah ha ha ha ha!" she added the rest of the girls looked at her strangely.
"Girl you worry me sometimes." LaShawna told her.
"Comic books are so immature." Heather said painting her nails.
"Yeah you'd know a thing or two about that wouldn't you?" LaShawna asked.
"Shut it lard butt!" she told her.
"What?! Oooh girl you did not just call me that!" she said jumping up and marched right over to the girl in question.
"Hey! What are you—stop it! Put me down! Put me down now!" she yelled as LaShawna carried her outdoors and over to the public bathrooms.
"Hey! Nooo! You'll hear from my attorney about this!" she yelled as LaShawna chucked her head first into a toilet. The teen dusted off her hands as Heather glugged in the filthy commode and struggled to free herself.
"That bitch had it coming for a long time. Just try and insult me again, I can think of things a lot worse than that!" LaShawna said as she walked back to the cabin.
A while later Heather was seen in the confession booth her hair sopping wet with flies buzzing around her.
"She is so going to pay for that." she told the camera before cutting out.
"You want me to go up against the original Peacemaker?" Geoff asked.
"Yeah which is why I brought along Mitchell, I can't believe I'm going to say this. But I actually want you to be careful dude this guy is seriously messed up in the head." Chris warned pointing at his own head.
"Then why did you let him on here?!" he asked.
"This is the same guy that let an escaped psycho killer onto the island." Commented Duncan. The Peacemaker gave Chris a disapproving glare.
"Ok, for the record that was Chef under the mask. I didn't actually know a real psycho killer was on the island!" he told the Peacemaker.
"Honestly I'm surprised this guy isn't in prison for all the stuff he's pulled." Said Duncan.
"Who says I haven't? All right well I'll let you two get acquainted and we'll see you on the field of battle later. Good luck Geoff." Chris said before leaving.
Confession booth.
"I have to say I actually feel a little better now that the real Peacemaker is here. I just hope everything turns out all right." Geoff said while rubbing the back of his neck.
"I sure hope Geoff makes it through it ok. I'd hate to have anything happen to him." said Owen.
"Geoff? He should do just fine now that he's got that big guy on his side. Without him I'd say his chances were less than zero but then again after the way he battled those ninjas, who knows?" Commented Duncan.
An hour later Geoff and the third Peacemaker were called onto the battlefield.
"Geoff you ready dude?" Chris asked.
"As I'll ever be bro." he said slightly nervous.
On a ridge stood the original Peacemaker, Chris Smith. The first Peacemaker wore a blue t-shirt with a dove symbol on his chest, white pants with a red strip down the sides and wore a white mask with glass domed helmet and carried a blaster with a cord attached to a backpack-like device. The first Peacemaker pointed his blater at Geoff.
"Players on your mark...get set...go!" yelled Chris.
Author's Note: All right what did you think of that? I hate to leave it on a cliffhanger but I hope you guys like it. More to come later on. Let me know what you think of the story so far and if you have any ideas for heroes or villains some of the TDI cast may be paired up with.
Please review,
Happy Holidays
