Here's Chapter 2, this chapter will have the first challenge and the first elimination, enjoy!
"Your first challenge is simple, all you have to do is locate your cabins. But to make things more interesting, you'll be split up into pairs of two. Your partner has already been selected. One more thing, there WILL be an elimination tonight!" Chris announced, some of the contestants were admittedly surprised.
"As for the groups. Here's how it'll be, Johnny will go with Dorothy, Christine will be with Kevin, Dan will be with Eddy, Steven with Sarah, Lucy with Drake, Tina with Lacey, Shannon with Samantha, Isaac with Don, Rodrick with Lila, and Asuka with Mr. Floop!" Chris said, laughing at Chuck's last name again. Chef handcuffed the pairs together.
"Now, it's about 11:30 in the morning right now, so you all have until 5 p.m. to find your cabins. Keep your eyes peeled though, you might find, this!" Chris told them 'this' being a McLean invincibility Statue. "I'm sure you're all aware of what the McLean statue is for, but for those of you who don't, this statue based on yours truly, will save you from elimination leaving whoever has the second highest amount of votes as the one going home. However, this season, we're adding another surprise to the game!"
Chris took out a small wooden statue that had Chef's head on it.
"This is the Chef Hatchet Statue, it's very similar to the McLean statue, however it's effect in the game is different. With it, you can eliminate anybody else from the game, regardless is they have any votes against them or not. But you can only use it during an elimination ceremony." Chris explained. "Anyway, let's get the game started!" Chris then blew his air horn, signaling the start of the challenge, the 20 campers scattered in their groups.
Asuka and Chuck were walking together through the woods, strangely, they managed to be stepping in rhythm.
"Chuck, do you mind if I ask you something?" Asuka asked.
"Hm? Oh sure, what do you need?" Chuck answered.
"Why do you seem so uncomfortable with your last name?"
"Well, my last name is associated with failure and mistakes and I'm a pretty unlucky guy." Chuck answered.
"I see, well wouldn't the fact that you're on the show now be an achievement?" Asuka noted, leaving Chuck speechless.
*confessionals*
Chuck: So, first confessional of the season. Anyway, Asuka seems nice, she kind of pretty too! Hopefully I don't act like an idiot in front of her though.
Asuka: Chuck seems like a nice person, though he seems rather shy. I'm very sure Chris will probably haggle him about it. It's a shame that he has to deal with it though, he's kind of cute.
*end confessionals*
Dorothy and Johnny were searching for the cabins by the beaches. Johnny seemed to be getting a bit uncomfortable with the awkward silence and he wanted to break the ice.
"So Dorothy, is there anything you want to talk about?"
"I'd just like to get this challenge over with, hopefully I won't be the one leaving tonight." Dorothy answered in a monotonous tone.
"If hear you, it would stink to leave first!" Johnny stated, the two stayed silent for a bit longer. "You don't talk much, do you?" He stated.
"If only really speak if I am spoken to first, it's how my parents had raised me." Dorothy replied.
"Really? Well if it's alright I'd like to get to know you better." Johnny suggested, Dorothy turned to him and gave him a small smile.
*confessional*
Johnny: Dorothy seems like an interesting girl, hopefully I can get along with her.
*end confessional*
Rodrick and Lila were going approaching a cave in the side of a mountain. They seemed to be conversing pretty well with each other.
"Yeah, my parents bought me my first drum set when I was 10. My first real 'gig' I'd say was my kid sisters 7th birthday party." Rodrick explained.
"That's an ever-so nice thing to do for your sister!" Lila admired. "It must be nice having a sibling..."
Rodrick gave her a sympathetic look. The two entered the cave, it was incredibly dark, Lila clung to Rodrick's arm.
"Hehe, it's gonna be fine, from the looks, err... sound of things. It's pretty empty in here." Rodrick noted, Lila loosened her grip on Rodrick, she grinned, a light blush creeping up in her face.
*confessional*
Lila: I must admit, there's something about Rodrick that I find just ever-so enchanting!
*end confessional*
Kevin, Christine, Dan and Eddy were travelling in a group of 4 (though they were still technically still in groups of 2). They were talking about many miscellaneous things and they all seemed to be getting along rather well. Christine on the other hand, was awkwardly third-wheeling (or fourth-wheeling in this case), Kevin turned to her.
"Hey Christine, what do you think?" Kevin asked, the boys had been talking about football. Christine wasn't a sporty girl, she liked science and robotics better.
"Honestly, I'm not too fond of sports." She squeaked out. Surprisingly to her, the boys didn't seem too bothered by it.
"Well that's not bad, football isn't for everyone." Kevin answered.
"Yeah, I mean not everyone likes sports." Eddy added, Dan just shrugged as a response. "Anyway, we need to keep moving, I know I'm not going home!" He continued his search for the cabins, pulling Dan along a little bit.
*confessionals*
Christine: I might have a crush on Kevin. What can I say, I like jocks.
Kevin: Christine seems alright, she's kind of quiet but she'll probably get past it after enough time.
Eddy: The others aren't too bad, but i'm not gonna go easy on them!
Dan: This search is gonna take a while, I guess it's alright to talk to Christine and the guys, they're cool.
*end confessionals*
Isaac and Don were searching through a mountainous path.
"So uh, what do you think of the others?" Isaac asked.
"Hm? Oh they're alright, the chicks are total babes though." Don answered.
"I guess you don't care for the guys?" Isaac questioned.
"Unless they know how to PARTYYY!" Don cheered, Isaac rolled his eyes, smiling a bit.
"Honestly I'm not much of a party person, I'm not good around people." Isaac explained.
"Don't worry dude, I'll help you out!" Don replied, giving Isaac a hard pat on the back.
"Hehe, thanks."
"Hm, I wonder if Lila likes parties." Don pondered.
*confessional*
Don: I'm a little miffed that Lila got paired with drummer boy. I'll win her over, just you wait! *he flexes his muscles*
*end confessional*
Steven and Sarah were going through the forest. They seemed to be working well together, Sarah was telling Steven about her martial arts when she suddenly tripped and twisted her ankle.
"Ow! Crap!" She cursed.
"Are you alright?' Steven asked, clearly worried.
"After a while I'll be fine, but I don't think I can walk like this." Sarah replied. Thinking quickly, Steven put her on his shoulders, since they were still handcuffed, Steven had to awkwardly have his hand raised to make sure she didn't fall.
"Aww Steven that's so sweet of you!" Sarah said with a noticeable blush on her face. Steven tried to hide a blush that was forming forming on his face.
*confessionals*
Sarah: Steven is a really nice guy and his idea was super sweet!
Steven: I think I've really gotten along with Sarah and it's only our first day here! I just hope I don't get too attached to her...
*end confessionals*
Lucy and Drake were in an empty field, Lucy was telling jokes to Drake who had an Emotionless look on his face, more emotionless than Dorothy (which is surprising).
"Please stop talking." Drake said.
"S-sorry..." Lucy replied. "I guess you don't like jokes."
"This is neither the time nor the place for jokes. We are playing for one million dollars, so we must play seriously." Drake hissed, a noticeable scowl on his face. He wasn't facing Lucy when he said this, so she didn't see his face.
"Come on, that doesn't mean you can't try to make some friends while you're here!" Lucy stated.
"We're not here to make friends!" Drake remarked.
"Ok Mr. Grumpy..." Lucy said, pouting a bit.
*confessional*
Lucy: Why can't Drake just take it easy and smile? Even if we're all competing for the money, we can still be friends!
*end confessional*
Tina, Lacey, Shannon and Samantha had decided to go as a group, just like Dan, Kevin, Christine, and Eddy. Samantha and Shannon were busy chatting away cheerfully about fashion. Lacey was completely bored out of her mind, she didn't care about fashion in the slightest. Tina just smirked at the girls, she didn't care about their conversation, she just smiled and them.
"Oh my gosh, your shirt is so cute!" Samantha complemented.
"Aww thanks, where did you get your jacket by the way? It tres magnifique!' Shannon replied, Lacey just rolled her eyes. "What do you think of everyone else by the way?"
"Well I haven't had much time to interact with them so I can't really say much. What about you sis?" Samantha asked Lacey.
"Same here, I haven't really talked with anybody except for you two yet." Lacey answered, 'you two' referring to Tina and Shannon. "What about you Tina?"
"Well, I've only really been with the three of you so far. But I already like you three!" Tian answered, she had a bit of a seductive purr in her voice that none of the others had caught on to.
*confessionals*
Shannon: Samantha and I get along so well! I can tell we're going to be fast friends.
Samantha: I'm glad I found a friend so quickly! I just hope my sister can get along with someone, she tends to be a bit of a troublemaker...
Lacey: It's a bit annoying seeing someone who likes fashion and makeup as much as she does, but that's none of my business. As for me, I don't really care for fashion.
Tina: I got lucky and I mean REALLY lucky with everyone here. They're all hot!
*end confessionals*
Several hours later, everyone gathered in front of the dock. Nobody had found the cabins, Asuka took out her cell phone to check the time, it was 4:45 p.m. Chris and Chef drove to the contestants, the two of them seemed to be laughing about something.
"Well, it looks like times almost up!" Chris taunted.
"We looked all over the island! The cabins aren't even here!" Dan noted. Lacey and Tina went to go take a seat under a nearby tree (Tina told her that she needed to talk to her), right when Tina sat down, something seemed to fall down behind her. Everyone turned to see what fell, Chris and Chef looked a bit disappointed, it turns out that the object that fell was a mirror. This mirror was actually part of a group of mirrors that were blocking the cabins!
"What the hell?!" Kevin said in shock, everyone gave Chris a nasty look, the host just chuckled sheepishly.
"Alright, I'll explain, Chef and I wanted to stall you until time ran out so we could reveal the cabins and make you all look dumb." Chris explained. Some of the contestants gasped while others intensified their glares.
"Chris, that's just an-" Lila began.
"An ever-so rude thing for me to do, I know. Anyway, get yourselves settles in, and get ready for the elimination tonight!" Chris finished.
"Wait, so who wins immunity?" Tina asked.
"And what about the teams?" Rodrick added.
"No immunity and no teams, at least not yet. For tonight, you're ALL on the chopping block."
Some time later, Tina was watching Steven and Sarah, they were sitting under a tree with Rodrick and Johnny, having lunch and just getting to know each other. Tina did not look happy at all. From behind a nearby tree, Don seemed to be giving Steven a particularly nasty look.
*confessionals*
Tina: That girl is making it really hard for me to get to that big guy, if they get together then that's two less people I can get to do what I want, and that's no fun!
Don: That dude is messing with my chances to score with that girl, I need him gone A.S.A.P!
Steven: It feels awesome making friends here! I've never really had friends back home, it's going to stink having to vote someone off...
*end confessionals*
On one of the cabin porches, Lucy walked walked up to Drake, despite the challenge being over, he still liked uneasy. Lucy looked a bit guilty.
"Hey Drake, sorry about what happened happened during the challenge." Lucy said apologetically, her apology sounded rather genuine.
"It's a little too late for apologies Lucille, but it doesn't matter." Drake answered monotonously.
"Oh um.. ok. Well, do you know who you're voting for?" She asked.
"I've made my decision. Hopefully everyone else will vote for the same person. The sooner we can get this person gone, the easier everyone's lives here will be." Drake announced.
"Well, I guess we'll see what happens." Lucy said rather upset, she walked away with a rather disappointed look on her face.
At sundown, everyone had gathered to a campfire pit, it looked similar to the one at Camp Wawanakwa, but this one was set on the beach. The contestants were sitting on flat rocks, Chef handed Chris a plate of marshmallows that had a light brown swirl through them.
"Welcome to the elimination ceremony! This is where you will potentially vote out one of your fellow contestants. If you receive a marshmallow, then you are safe, for now... and speaking of marshmallows, we've gotten these brand new, Chocolate Swirl Marshmallows! Available at any retail store near you!" Chris announced, smiling at the camera when he mentioned the new marshmallows.
*confessional*
Chuck: Please not me, please not me please not me! ... Sorry I just really don't want be voted off first and end up like that guy Ezekiel!
*end confessional*
"Get on with it!" Rodrick called out.
"Alright, alright! Anyway, if I call your name then you're safe. The first one safe for tonight is... Lacey!"
"Sweet!" Lacey said cheerfully.
"Next is Asuka! And third is Isaac!" The two contestants caught their marshmallows, Isaac quickly ate his while Asuka handed hers to Lacey since Asuka didn't like sugary sweets.
"Next is Mr. Floop!" Chris chuckled again, tossing the fourth marshmallow to Chuck, who was crossing his fingers. Chuck breathed a sigh of relief when h found out that he was safe.
"Samantha, Dan, and... Rodrick!" The three campers caught their marshmallows.
"Up next is Don, Tina, Shannon, Drake and Kevin!"
.
.
.
"Lila and Dorothy!"
.
.
.
"Christine and Eddy!"
.
.
.
"And Johnny! As for you three, you each received at least one vote." Chris said, Lucy was biting her nails while Steven and Sarah looked at each other anxiously. "The second to last marshmallow is for... Lucy!" Lucy sighed, thankful for her safety while Drake silently grunted.
"This is it, the final marshmallow of the evening. Such a shame that the first elimination of the season will split up such a happy couple!" Chris teased. "Anyway, the final marshmallow goes too..."

"Steven!"
Steven caught the marshmallow, but he didn't look happy at all. His first friend would be the first to go!
"What?! Come on, that's not fair!" Steven argued.
"It's ok Stevie! You don't need me to do well in this game, good luck ok!" Sarah responded, hugging Steven and even giving him a sweet kiss on the cheek! "Ok Chris, I'm ready to take the boat ride or be shot out of the cannon or whatever crazy contraption you have this time."
"Glad to see that you're ready. Step this way." Chris told her. Chef strapped Sarah into a seat that was connected to a giant slingshot. "Ready? ... FIRE!" Chris shouted, pressing a button on a remote control that launched Sarah into the sky.
"And with that, we're down to 19! When will the teams be formed? Will Don get a girl? Will Isaac come out of his shell? And will Mr. Floop end up like that freakshow Ezekiel? I guess we'll have to wait and see! This has been Total Drama Rankor Island!"
So that's the chapter! Is there anything you want to see in the story? Cameos from the main cast, campers returning from elimination, etc.? Just let me know! Hope you enojoyed!
