Chapter 2: Riding to New Hyrule
As the train carrying the contestants continued on its path, those in the train were amazed at the bright lights going by.
"Wow, it seems like we're heading toward another universe" said Jimmy as he gazed out the window.
"Looks very pretty" added Chum Chum.
"I almost forgot, I am also giving you team names" said Chris, "first team will be Team Underdogs, second Team Einstein, third will be Team Golden and final one will be Team Newbie."
"So when am I going to get a crack at these challenges?" asked Tak to Chris.
"We should be stopping any time soon" said Chris.
At the other end which was an obvious peaceful meadow in New Hyrule, a portal opened up thanks to the arch at the other end with the train tracks and the train itself making its way to the castle in New Hyrule.
"Whoa!" cried Fanboy with awe as he was amazed by the size of the castle, "Chum Chum, I say we make this our new headquarters."
"You two can't do that" protested Zelda, "that's where I live!"
"Bad move guys" said Tony.
As the train eventually stopped all the contestants except for Sperg who was going to sit this one out got out of the train and gazed upon the large castle that was in front of them.
"For the first challenge, each team will have to sneak into the castle and avoid getting caught by the guards, the member of any team that finds the conductor hat within the garden maze will be the conductor of one of the four trains parked at the tower nearby" said Chris.
"Don't you usually make the first challenge a bit easy for us?" asked Manny who felt it would be obviously a lot of work trying to hide from the guards.
"Aw, but you will need the conductor's hat for which ever member of your team to use for the duration that we are in New Hyrule" replied Chris, "so get to it!"
As the four teams were heading toward the area where the garden maze was, each of the members of each team were debating if whether who should be the train conductor for their team.
"I say since I am able to fly a spaceship, I should be able to be the conductor of the train" boasted Jimmy.
"No, I should be the one to do it, you'll do everything so slowly" said Zoe.
As members of Team Einstein except for Princess Jillian were arguing, the Vegandore Princess had no other choice but to step in.
"I will do it" sighed Princess Jillian.
"You?" cried both Jimmy and Zoe.
"If I can fly the spaceships that belong to my dad, being behind the train shouldn't be that hard" continued Princess Jillian.
"Of course, it's so logical, since you're older, you should be twice as much experience than me" added Jimmy.
"You never admit defeat" said Cindy who was puzzled by this out of character behavior from Jimmy.
"Er, maybe it's because her dad could get angry at Jimmy?" suggested Carl.
As for Team Underdogs, it was quite clear who was going to be the conductor, Wally who was quite the obvious playing the arrogant card.
"Why should you get to be the conductor?" asked Marc.
"Because I'm the one who gots most of the muscle around here" replied Wally, "and what I say goes! Does anyone object to it?"
The other team members simply capitulated to his demands by nodding, as for Team Golden, it came down to only Mandy and Karin who were arguing.
"You, a commoner like you?" roared Karin as she couldn't believe she was being challenged.
"Yes, I will be the conductor, and I am also a better fighter than you" added Mandy which everyone on the team gasp.
"Oh boy, I hope there's going to be a cat fight!" cried Billy.
"I guess I'm going to be the conductor" said Megan as she stepped in, "since you two can't obviously make up your minds."
"Zim, er, seconds the motion" said Zim.
"So do I" added Cleveland Jr.
"I don't mind" added Janet.
"Yeah, me neither" added Hiro.
And for the last time, Team Newbie, Fanny took the charge as not even Tak wanted to confront her, at least for now.
"Any objections that I will be the conductor?" asked Fanny to her teammates.
"No, we're good" said Sakura.
It was then finally time for the four teams to head on into the garden maze, as there were four separate paths, which had the train conductor hats waiting at the end, but with also several patrols of guards from the castle. Each team took its own path, yet as each of the teams were heading down their own paths, there were several other paths that the teams themselves had to split up, not knowing which path was going to be patrolled by the guards.
"You, you, you, and you go down that path" ordered Fanny to Tony, Fanboy, Chum Chum and Sakura.
"Why should we split up?" asked Sakura.
"Because it would be harder for the guards to spot us" said Fanny.
Yet as the four left leaving the others, no sooner did Fanny open up her big mouth, which a guard likely overheard, came running right behind her.
"You were saying?" asked the guard to Fanny.
"Run!" cried Libby.
As Fanny and the rest of her team made a dash from the guard, the other teams were also running into some trouble, Billy thought the guard was just a gardener, and raced up toward him.
"Is he always like this?" asked Hiro to Mandy.
"Usually, so I've heard you're also smarter than Billy, know anyway where we can ditch him?" asked Mandy.
"I can make a clear cut through the maze with some hi-tech tools in my backpack" replied Hiro.
"Wow, they don't call you the Japanese Toyman for nothing" said Mandy as she took a device that had scissors, "let's just cut right on through."
As Mandy was on good terms with Hiro, things were not looking well for the other contestants as they were being chased by the guards, Chris thought it was the right time as each of the contestants found themselves cornered by the guards, a chime was turned on.
"He's kidding, we have to sing to these guards?" cried Sissy as she along with Johnny and Irwin were just inches away from being grabbed by the guard.
"I'm afraid not!" laughed Chris as he used a megaphone to communicate, "Anyone who doesn't sing will not be saved from being voted off!"
Sissy obviously had no other choice but to start up the song.
"Oh Mr. Guard, we mean you no harm" said Sissy as she started the tone.
"We just wanted to go to the end of the maze, yo!" cried Irwin who wasn't panicking while singing.
"So if you please let us through we won't mean any harm" continued Johnny who was getting into the rhyme.
The guard couldn't believe the kind of music that was played and simply let them pass with ease, likewise the other contestants whom were cornered by the guards also sung similar lyrics as well.
"Oh please Mr. Guard just please, please, please let us through" said Fanboy to the guard.
"Yeah, all we want to do is go through" continued Chum Chum.
"And if you don't step aside, I'm going to give you a pounding!" said Fanny as she was shacking her fist which the guard allowed her and the members of her team that were with her to go through.
It was soon Jimmy and Cindy's turn, as the other members of the team were providing the rhyme to the song by humming it to the guards.s
"Oh please don't blame me, blame Nerdtron here" said Cindy as she sang to the tone.
"Hey look, it wasn't my fault, you told us to take this route" added Jimmy.
Obviously the guards were not buying the song and were about to apprehend Jimmy, Cindy and the members of the team whom were there, it was only just then that Mandy had just cut through the garden maze with the hi-tech scissors that Hiro had given to her.
"You can't do that!" cried Jimmy.
"Er, on second thought, you can go wherever you like" said one of the guards who didn't want to challenge Mandy.
"Come on, let's get that conductor hat" said Mandy.
Yet for Billy, who was an obvious terrible singer, the guard couldn't stand Billy's voice while singing loudly.
"OH MISTER GUARD, PLEASE LET ME THROUGH!" cried Billy really quite loudly.
"If I say yes, promise me you will not do that to me while I am in person with you?" asked the guard.
"Sure thing" replied Billy as he was allowed through.
It was just like that with all the other members of the team, each member of the team who slated themselves to be the train conductor had gotten the hat required, Team Golden had gotten the hat first, Team Underdogs second, Team Einstein third and Team Newbie in last. As all members of the four teams were running to the four parked trains, Chris along with Chef and also Draco were waiting for them there. Poor old Draco was carrying a large pitcher of lemonade with Lance and Illana coming into the scene having forty cups prepared.
"Good to see Team Golden living up to its name in coming first, you get the first ten cups of lemonade as a small reward" said Chris as he signaled poor Draco to pour the lemonade in the cups.
"This is humiliating!" cried Draco who obviously didn't want to do it.
"Team Golden, you also get the hi-tech train which was donated by another wealthy funder for the show" replied Chris, "Teams Underdogs and Einstein, you get, these two plain trains, and Team Newbie, sorry, you will have to work with this train which is in poor condition for coming in last."
"What, no fair!" cried Fanny as she couldn't believe what a crappy train she got, "There is no way that I am going to be the conductor of that piece of an excuse!"
"But you choose yourself to be the conductor" said Hoogie.
"Who cares, I say Mr. Tony boy here is going to be the conductor from now on!" said Fanny as she placed it right on Tony's head.
"What, why me?" cried Tony.
"You don't want to get into an argument with her, believe me" said Abigail.
As the conductors got into their positions, there was also another two cars that were able to house the other teammates of each team.
"In the second part of this challenge, all four of you will have to race to our next destination" said Chris, "each member of the team can be helpful in storing coal into the train. The first team that makes it to Link's home town wins the challenge."
As the four trains went off, for Team Newbie, things looked quite grim for them, as they were already running low on coal as a fuel source.
"Oh that's just great, this hunk of junk will probably need more coal!" cried Fanny as she obviously hated the train very much.
"Well, complaining isn't going to make this train go any faster" said Tak who was going to challenge Fanny.
"Oh, so you think you know a way to make this stupid train go faster?" roared Fanny, "Well, I would like to know what this magical source really is, is it a source which is literally magic?"
"Actually, I can help" said Sakura who knew one way on how to make the train have more fuel.
"Good luck with that" sighed Gaz to Sakura as she was heading toward the engine where poor Tony was the obvious conductor trying to keep up with the other three trains.
As for Teams Einstein and Underdogs, they were obviously neck, and neck likely not going to catch up to Team Golden.
"Wow, look at how far behind they are!" laughed Zak.
"Now this is indeed first class" said Karin as she wasn't interested in shoveling coal.
"Darn it, we're not going to catch up with them!" cried Johnny as he gazed out of the window and only noticed the train they were in were going the same speed as Team Einstein's.
Back with Team Newbie's train, Sakura was preparing herself to send off a fireball that she had took from Ryu right into the engine to make it go faster.
"Are you crazy, you're going to destroy the train!" cried Tony who was quite afraid.
"I know what I am doing!" replied Sakura as she fired her fireball right into the engines.
The train for Team Newbie instantly picked up speed, back in Link's home town, Chris was waiting for the first train to arrive on the scene, when he noticed Team Newbie's train was somehow coming in way fast.
"Everyone, hit the deck, the train's coming and I don't think it's got any breaks!" cried Chris.
But Tony was indeed doing everything he can to put the break on the train which came to a halt at the station, and Team Golden coming in second, Team Underdogs in third and Team Einstein in last place.
"Last place?" cried Cindy as she couldn't believe herself just a few inches away from being in third.
"Wow, Team Einstein, it seems like you didn't have the brain power to get through the first challenge, hope you got a good mind of who'll be voted off for the first time" laughed Chris.
It was only about a few hours that every member of Team Einstein voted for who will not be coming back, for Season 3, Chris was going to hand out a bag of jelly beans to symbolize the contestants who will be staying for another day.
"Here is a bag of nine jelly beans for the campers who will be staying for another day" said Chris as he tossed the bags of jelly beans to Cindy, Carl, Sally, Zak, Danielle, Princess Jillian, Mindy, Lee and Timmy.
The only two members of the team who didn't get the bag of jelly beans yet were Zoe and Jimmy.
"Wow, this is a pretty tough one even for the first one who'll get voted off, Zoe, you did your best all the other Seasons, and so did you Jimmy, but thankfully, you Jimmy will be staying on for another day" said Chris as he threw the bag toward Jimmy.
"What?" cried Zoe, "I get voted off first?"
As Zoe wanted to strangle Jimmy, Chef grabbed Zoe and took her to a special hatch which was really the surprise Shame Prize which was really a powerful cannon built into the train itself. Poor Zoe was then fired out of the Cannon of Shame to which Ferb came into the scene forgetting to give Zoe her helmet.
"Opps, looks like we forgot to give her the helmet!" laughed Chris to which Sperg was brought in by Baltog and the helmet was placed on his head instead.
"Hey, when the heck do I get off?" cried Sperg.
"This is your stop!" laughed Chris as he grabbed Sperg and shoved him into the hatch and fired the Cannon of Shame, to which the camera then turns toward Chris after poor Sperg was fired out of it, "That's right, the Cannon of Shame! Until next time on Camp Drama World of Fantasies!"
