A/N: This episode is split into 2 parts, as I'm gonna be very busy this summer. Hopefully this first part is good for a while, as I don't know when I'm gonna be able to update.

Episode 2- The Great Hunt

It was about 10 at night when Scizor dropped the last contestants at the campsite. The 3 hosts had left the 30 campers at a clearing with two cabins with no electricity. Luckily, Trevor knew how to make a fire, as one time he had to survive for 30 days on an island after he robbed a famous bank. Basically, he "borrowed" Allison's glasses, and tried to ignite a piece of wood with it. Most of the campers were watching Trevor try to set the fire.

"Have you noticed that its night?" asked Ace, a little tired of all the campers.

"Of course, I have. I'm trying to reflect the moonlight." Said Trevor.

"Yeah, that's like scientific and stuff!" said Linda.

"That's in no way scientific, or even remotely possible." Said Ace.

"Oh yeah? You wanna bet?" asked Trevor.

"Sure. If your fire somehow sets, I'll sleep in the woods tonight. If it doesn't in 10 minutes, you have to sleep in the woods." Said Ace.

"You're on. Let's shake on it." Said Trevor.

Ace and Trevor both shook on it.

Allison stumbled out of the cabin. "Hello? Has anyone seen my glasses?"

Allison clumsily walked to the other campers.

Trevor mouthed "Watch this", to Ace. As Allison arrived, he tripped her.

As her tail touched the wood, it instantly set fire.

"WE HAVE FIRE!" Shouted Trevor proudly as Ace's mouth hung open in disbelief. Trevor pointed to Ace. "And you sir, have to sleep in the woods!"

"No, no, no. That wasn't the bet. I shook on the bet that if you set the fire with the glasses, then I'd sleep in the woods." Said Ace.

"No, you didn't! You said if I somehow did! You know what, let's ask Allison."

Allison swiped her glasses out of Trevor's hands.

"Well… if you did shake on it, you have…uh… to do it. Please don't beat me up!" cowered Allison.

Ace actually laughed. "You know what… fine. Have your stupid fire. I'll sleep in the woods, away from you guys." He snapped.

He began to head into the woods.

"Ace! Are you seriously doing this?! Come back!" called Ashley after him.

Ace didn't turn back.

"You're a jerk, you know that?" said Ashley to Trevor, before she began to chase after Ace.

"Wow… some people are touchy. Anyways, who wants some smore's?!" shouted Trevor, taking out a bag of marshmallows from his bag.

OOO

"I hope Ace is Ok… I mean, I've never seen him so mad." Said Ashley.

OOO

"Ace! ACE!" shouted Ashley, dashing through the forest.

She found the Vaporeon by the line of where the forest turns into the beach.

"Ace *Pant*, you can't just run off like that!" said Ashley.

"Whatever. You think that I just ran off because of that stupid criminal? I'm almost 100 percent sure that there's an idol on this island." Said Ace.

"An immunity idol? Really? You made me run 5 miles for that?" asked Ashley.

"Ashley… it can make one of us immune to votes. We just need to find it." Said Ace.

Ashley sighed. "This better be worth it."

OOO

Junior was alone in the boy's cabin, which was perfect. He looked cautiously from side to side, before he pulled out his laptop.

Unfortunately, Mac randomly walked into the cabin.

Junior hissed and shoved his laptop into his bag.

"Dude! You've got a laptop? Tell me you've got internet!" said Mac.

Junior hissed again, showing his claws.

"Was that a threat? Do you wanna fight?" grunted Mac.

Both of them didn't move a muscle.

(Pokemon Battle theme starts playing)

"You asked for it, Cat-Face!" shouted Mac, diving towards Junior.

Junior rolled out of the way. He jumped up, slashing Mac across his face.

"Ahh! What the hell? You're dead!" growled Mac, tackling the cat.

Junior escaped his grasp easy, then slammed Mac to the floor.

Mac didn't move a muscle. He passed out, with a concussion.

OOO

Out by the campfire, it started to rain.

"Well, that was random. As long as it isn't storming, we should be fi_" Allison was interrupted by the surge of 10,000 volts of electricity coursing through her body.

The other 25 characters looked at her in horror.

"Izaya… is she dead?" asked Juvia.

"Sadly, yes." Said Izaya.

"Don't worry! This is a case for… Dr. Isaac!" Said Isaac, pulling out a bloodwork case.

"Ok, who wants to help the kid carry the body to the morgue?" asked Trevor.

"No… she still has a pulse. She's just not breathing. She needs C-R-P!" said Isaac.

"Does anyone know how to preform CRP?" shouted Trevor.

"Can we do this inside maybe? I can feel static on my back!" exclaimed Cimex.

The 25 rushed inside the boy's cabin, to find Mac on the floor, as Junior looked on in terror.

"We need Dr. Isaac! Right Now!" shouted Raiden.

"3-2-1" ZAP! Isaac dropped Myra, as Allison jolted awake.

"What the hell… Where am I?!" asked Allison, rubbing her head.

"Let's just say, that you'd be shocked." Said Jango.

Screams erupted from the room as Trevor punched Jango in the face.

OOO

"Ace… don't you think that we should get back to the cabins?" asked Ashley, shivering in the cold rain.

"I lost that deal! And no, we have to find that stupid idol!" shouted Ace.

"How do you even know that there's going to be an idol?!" screamed Ashley, rain pouring down her face.

"Because there has to be!" shouted Ace back.

Ashley frowned. "No one said there was! Maybe it's just not in the season!"

"It is!" exclaimed Ace.

Ashley shoved her brother in pure anger, and he fell into a tree.

"Ashley… I think I found something! Quick, under a tree!" shouted Ace, clutching a small leather bag.

OOO

The 28 campers in the cabins were awoken by a loud noise. An airhorn.

"Can someone cut that out! I need my beauty sleep!" said Linda.

"Get your asses out here!" shouted Taillow, ringing the airhorn again.

Slowly but surely, the 28 campers got out.

"How is everyone doing?"

"Fuckin' Wonderful!"

"I hate you."

"Terrible. I can't even get my damned beauty sleep!"

"That's great to hear!" said Taillow, a grin stretching across his face. "Anyway's today, we're going to be setting up teams, and having our first challenge!"

Several people booed, as most just stayed silent.

"Glad to hear the enthusiasm! Anyway, we're gonna sort you into teams! Each team has one host as a team leader. I'm the leader of Team Mystic, Scizor is the leader of Team Valor, and Nidoqueen is the leader of Team Instinct."

"Excuse me, but why don't the team leaders correspond with_"

"Junior!"

Junior turned to see Arlene walking towards him.

"Oh my gosh, I haven't seen you in like a year!" said Arlene.

"Actually, it's been… 9 months, 7 minutes, 6.78 seconds. And counting. I missed you." Said Junior.

"Same here." Said Arlene, although she meant it for a much, much, different meaning.

"Love this family reunion… but I have a show to host. Anyway, I'll read the list of teams." Said Taillow, holding out a piece of paper.

(Note: I couldn't really choose, so I randomized it.)

Team Mystic: Ace, Allison, Izaya, Jango, Laura, Linda, Junior, Isaac, Luis, Azure.

Team Instinct: Lee, Raiden, Juvia, Brooklyn, Shade, Mac, Ashley, Crescent, Maya, Emeruby.

Team Valor: Marina, Poppy, Wasabi, Trevor, Cimex, Nate, Myra, Aerial, Lloyd, Arlene.

OOO

"Alright. Let me say this as calmly as I can. I respectfully, mildly, dislike my team." Said Izaya.

OOO

After that brief meeting, Taillow let the contestants be, claiming the challenge would be later. Izaya took this time to talk to Juvia, who was on Team Instinct. They took a walk in the forest.

"So… that sucks." Said Izaya.

"It's Ok. We'll get to meet new people and stuff!" said Juvia.

"Yeah, but didn't we join so we could spend time together?" said Izaya. He flashed a devilish grin. "And kick ass together?"

"It's ok Izaya. I'm actually pretty excited!" said Juvia.

Izaya shrugged. "I mean, I guess. No one seems that crazy on my team."

Juvia smiled.

OOO

Jango had gathered Junior, Allison, Isaac, and Luis on the beach.

"Hello friends! I have something to propose to each of you!" said Jango.

"There's about a 99% chance that he's going to pull a bad joke right now." Said Allison, as the others nodded in agreement.

Jango tapped her nose, sending an electric shock through her body (Allison still had electricity inside of her from yesterday) and she collapsed on the beach. "Well that was shoc- Nevermind. I wanted to ask if you guys wanted to make an alliance."

"Well, Allison, how much would that improve our chances? Allison? ALLISON?" asked Isaac, shaking his friend.

"Sure." Said Luis.

Junior shrugged.

"Alright, I'm gonna take that as a yes from all of you." Said Jango.

OOO

Lee, having absolutely no one who wanted to talk to him, walked down to the dock where everyone first met.

Taillow felt a little bad for the kid. As much as Taillow hated to admit it, he did have a heart, and took a liking for Lee. Taillow also had enjoyed his smoothies last night, but didn't do the best at expressing it.

OOO

FLASHBACK:

It was about 9 o'clock yesterday, and Taillow was watching Pokemon: The First Movie! Taillow was greatly annoyed when there was a knock on the door.

It was Lee. If it was anyone else besides Azure, he probably would've instantly eliminated them. However, he was still happy that he kicked someone off of the dock, so he let him in.

"I'm watching something, so make it quick." Said Taillow.

"Hi Taillow! I made you a smoothie!" said Lee, holding out a pink liquid.

"This is poison, isn't it?" asked Taillow awkwardly, looking nervously at the pink liquid.

"You should try it!" said Lee.

"Fine. But I'll sue if I drop dead." Said Taillow, sipping the pink liquid.

Lee looked on excitedly.

Taillow spit. "EW! This tastes terrible! Get out of here!"

Lee sighed, and left Taillows cabin.

As soon as Lee couldn't see him, Taillow finished the smoothie as a look of pure joy spread across his face.

END FLASHBACK

OOO

"Hey man." Said Lee, as Taillow sat next to him.

"Hello. Hey, why aren't you talking with your team?" asked Taillow.

Lee shrugged. "I don't know. When we broke off, everyone just generally walked away from me."

Taillow sighed. "You definitely should be talking to people, man. I'll give you a tip. You never want to make any enemies."

Lee nodded. "Hey, thanks man!"

Taillow nodded, as his phone rang. "Yeah, whatever. I got to take this call."

As someone spoke to him on the phone, Taillow's jaw dropped.

OOO

Azure was speaking to Laura, for some reason, she believed was the "leader" of the team.

"Hello miss! May you shed some words of wisdom?" asked Azure.

Laura glanced at her. "Uh… what?"

"You're the leader! Shower me with wisdom!" exclaimed Azure.

Laura sighed. "I'm really not the 'leader', but I'll give you some wisdom."

Azure pulled out a pen excitedly.

"Alright. On a show like this, you have to be smart. You have to be strategic. I would say that you should try to get at least one man to fall for you." Said Laura.

"Alright! I'll try it soon! Thanks!" said Azure, walking away.

OOO

Linda was annoying Junior to his limits.

"So… should I try purple nail polish, or pink? I mean, I'm already the greatest, but I want to try a new nail color." Said Linda.

"OH MY GOD! I DON'T CARE!" Shouted Junior.

Linda shrugged. "Your just jealous that you don't look as good as me."

She walked away.

As Junior enjoyed his solitary, he was interrupted by a pair of footsteps behind him.

He turned around to see Arlene and Mac walking towards him. Junior knew that it must be something secret. Junior had a somewhat curious nature. He snuck under the cabin stairs to hear what they would talk about.

"Alright. So… how much are you willing to pay for this ring?" asked Arlene.

"I've got 50 bucks." Said Mac.

"I have a deal. I'll give it for free if you vote with me a couple times." Said Arlene.

"Definitely!" said Mac, happily.

Junior silently gasped. So, this is what it was all about! His 'mom' just wanted people to vote with her?!

OOO

Brooklyn was trying to talk with Maya and Raiden.

"Alright folks! We're all on the same team! And were all united by the same thing! Bushes!" said Brooklyn.

Raiden raised his hand nervously.

"Yes, Raiden?" asked Brooklyn.

"U-uh… how d-do I or Maya have anything to do with bushes?" asked Raiden quietly.

"Well you have a bush on your back! And Maya is… uh… green, like bushes!" said Brooklyn, proud that she was able to think that up. Hey, it was good enough for Raiden.

Maya made a peace sign, still on her 3DS.

"Ok, I think we should make an alliance!" said Brooklyn.

Raiden nodded nervously.

Maya nodded certainly, although it seemed like she was nodding to her game.

OOO

Shade was thinking. Being in quite a few situations where he didn't really know anybody was usual to him, and he knew that the first thing to do was to find out someone suspicious. One rule from the essential book of TPI's (Buy it from HomelessHyena's profile for 30$! It helps fund for a house!) was that there is always trying to break the game.

As he sat on the beach, he was interrupted by a large rustling sound. He looked behind him to see Crescent, who tripped.

"Uh… Sorry." Said Crescent sheepishly.

"It's ok. Actually, I could use some help with something." Said Shade.

"You wouldn't really want my he_"

"Ah, that's nonsense! I want another opininon." Argued Shade.

Crescent shrugged, and walked over.

"Alright, who do you think is the biggest threat on our team?" Asked Shade.

"I'm going to have to say Lee. He seems…uh…to be lacking certain mental capacity, but he seems to be strong." Said Crescent.

Shade nodded. "It's a good point. But I had someone else in mind…"

OOO

Emeruby was talking to Nate. "So… everyone knows how you totally pranked Taillow." Said Emeruby.

Nate shrugged. "Eh… it would've been better if he actually had shoelaces."

Emeruby grinned. "You know… I bet the two of us could make an even better prank!"

Nate smiled. "Hey, that would be a good idea!"

Emeruby flashed a despicable smile. "Let's start plotting, friend."

OOO

Poppy was watching Trevor bury something in the sand (Most likely drugs or weapons), and taking notes in her notebook.

"Hey, what are you doing?" asked Aerial, who was rescued from the sinkhole yesterday.

"Uh…" said Poppy, fumbling her notebook.

"Oh my god! Are you spying on us?!" exclaimed Aerial.

"N-NO! I'm j-just_"

Aerial had run off to tell other people. Poppy sighed in relief. No one would believe him. He was incredibly annoying, and if anyone should be worrying, it would be him.

OOO

Wasabi was playing rock-paper-scissors with Cimex, both not really knowing what to do.

"So…uh… what's up?" asked Wasabi.

"Dude, you sound like Luis. He always randomly ends conversations." Said Cimex.

"Well, I really have no idea what to talk about. Do you want to pray with me to Lord Helix?" asked Wasabi.

"I'm good." Said Cimex, leaving Wasabi to pray. Huh. Cimex never really took Wasabi as the religious type.

OOO

Myra and Marina were watching Lloyd cement a brick wall.

Marina generally was keeping to herself, staying at least 3 feet away from Myra.

"So…uh… does anyone want to talk?" asked Myra.

No answers.

"Hey, Marina, isn't it?" asked Myra.

Marina nodded. "Yeah… that's my name."

Myra gave her a big smile. "My name is Myra!"

"Would you guys stop talking?!" grunted Lloyd.

Lloyd actually talking surprised Myra. Unfortunately, when Myra gets excited, she randomly generates electricity. Even more unfortunate, it shocked Marina, thus ending their short conversation.

OOO

"Ok, Taillow. I'm gonna repeat this for the last time. You're show spent too much money for the transport of the contestants."

"How is that possible?! And more importantly, how am I going to pay for it?!" exclaimed Taillow, yelling into the phone.

"Um… remember when you said that you were going to make a youtube channel? Just make a few videos and get money. Isn't that how youtube works?"

"That's a great idea!" said Taillow.

"Good! I already got someone to let you do one of their TPI challenges!"

"Wait-WHAT?!"

"You're going to do challenges from other people's TPI! Here, I'll even make a portal for you!"

"That's really not necessary- HOLY SH_"

Taillow disappeared through a random portal, unknowing of to where the other side was.

OOO

Ok. This is the pre- challenge content for the second episode. I'm going to be really busy this summer, so I have no idea how often I'll be able to update.

Also, RACE won! So that will be the next challenge.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and it would be well-appreciated if you could review!
