The camera shows the aerial view of the Forgotten Island in midday, before panning down until it showed the docks where the two hosts waited. Valnoir and Blaineley gave their smiles to the camera as they started off the show. "Welcome back to Total Drama Forgotten Island!" The male host started.
"Last episode, our twenty campers have been introduced." Blaineley said. "We've got a cast of diverse and very weird personalities." She rolled her eyes.
"But that's what will make this show a lively one," Valnoir interjected. "because the campers who were in the same yacht became instant teammates. The black yacht campers are known as the Black Knights while the ones in the white yacht are the White Stallions."
"And with that, the first challenge was given." Blaineley chimed in. "Find the cabin before the other team. Get some teamwork going. Simple as that."
"But though it is simple, the stakes are high." Valnoir gave a sadistic grin. "Because the losing team will face elimination tonight!" He cackled.
"Jeez, you laugh like that?" Blaineley cringed.
"Get used to it, Mildred." Valnoir chuckled.
"Whatever." Blaineley rolled her eyes. "Anyway, which team will win this challenge and which one will face elimination?"
"Will teamwork see them through or will individual skills do it for them?" Valnoir added.
"Find out now on Total..." Blaineley started.
"Drama..." Valnoir chimed in with a grin.
"Forgotten Island!" They finished together.
(White Stallions)
The team moved quickly through the woods with Quincey, Abby, and Gabriella in the lead. Everyone else trailed behind with Jeanette and Alysson bringing up the rear.
"We should find a clearing and scan the area from there." Jeanette called out to the front. "We do not know how far these woods go."
"By the looks of it, we are already at the thick of it." Quincey called out to her. "The cabin should be further ahead."
"So why did you wear a dress for this show?" Alysson asked Jeanette.
"It's to represent my high social status of course." Jeanette scoffed. "Not to mention my taste in fashion."
"Oh, really?" Alysson tilted his head.
"And as for you, are you supposed to be a cartoon character?" Jeanette looked him up and down. "However, those clothes do seem functional."
"I like wearing it." Alysson shrugged. "Pokemon is kinda my thing. Guys like girls who dress up as a character from their favorite game." He winked after saying that.
"The appeal is fine, but you do not look that physically fit." Jeanette said bluntly.
"I'll make it work." Alysson pouted.
"And I may find a use for you, yet." Jeanette said dismissively as she ran on ahead of him. Alysson glared after her but said nothing else.
~Confessional~
Alysson: She thinks she can just size up my worth just like that? Is that how rich and snobby girls are like? Well, we'll see just how powerful and mighty she'll be after I woo all the guys in my team! *he smirks confidently*
Jeanette: Alysson is the kind of girl that wants to get the boys' attention so that she'll make it far. But as a challenge strategist, I refuse to allow such a freeloader on my team. If she cannot prove her worth in challenges then I have no use for her. And did I mention that pokemon fashion is so last year ago?
~End Confessional~
Daniel ran alongside Nymeria and Keith, with his crow soaring high above him to scout ahead. Nymeria curiously looked up at the black bird.
"So what's its name?" Nymeria asked Daniel while pointing up at the bird. The latter did not respond nor look her way. Keith noticed this and narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"What if he's a government spy?" He suddenly blurted out so they can both hear him. This got Daniel's attention as he looked back with a raised eyebrow but still said nothing. Nymeria gasped.
"A teenage boy!? How can they do this!?" The girl frowned deeply.
"The government does a lot of inhumane acts." Keith shook his head solemnly. "They probably subjected him to an experiment where his soul is bind to that crow." He guessed.
Daniel looked at both of them as if they were crazy and ran ahead, his crow making a sound before dropping down to perch on his shoulder again.
"What should we do?" Nymeria whispered to Keith.
"Normally I'd subdue him and run like hell afterwards while wearing this tin foil hat, but the only way to get him off our case is to vote him out." Keith decided.
"Then we'll do that! For his sake too." Nymeria grinned.
"Not so loud! He might hear and call the CIA on us." Keith widened his eyes at her anxiously. Nymeria nodded quickly while making a zipped up lips motion.
~Confessional~
Keith: *is adjusting his tin foil hat* I swear that Daniel is a government spy! He's here to spy on me because I'm close to uncovering their secrets and expose them for what they really are! But he won't get me, and hopefully Nymeria will be smart enough to vote him out at elimination too. Maybe I can try to throw this challenge so we can lose.
Nymeria: I wonder what it's like to be experimented upon by the government. I watch movies that show what they do to you but it's all from different perspectives. Maybe I could ask Daniel what it feels like.
~End Confessional~
Beatrice tried to keep up with Jackie, who ran ahead of her to see where they were headed.
"Jackie? Could you slow down?" Beatrice asked softly but the jester gave no response. Beatrice tried to see his face and she saw him being completely serious, a side she has not seen before. "Jackie?"
"Beatrice, hurry up." Jackie called out to her as he glanced back. "We must not lose on our first challenge." He urged.
"I'll try." She said as she ran a bit faster. Jackie sighed in annoyance and slowed down so she could catch up to him.
"Can't you run any faster? We're going to lose." The jester said. "Look, I'll just carry you." Without waiting for an answer, he swooped her off her feet and began running again with her in his arms.
"Waahh!" Beatrice exclaimed as she looked up and saw Jackie carrying her bridal style. "What are you doing!?"
"We need to hurry up." Jackie said simply and seriously, completely unlike his attitude back on the yacht. "If you fall behind, they'll blame you for it and vote you off."
"Well that's true." Beatrice conceded. "But only this one time." She stated.
"We'll see." Jackie answered before focusing on the path ahead.
Quincey stopped the moment he reached a clearing in the woods. Abby and Gabriella, the two close behind him, stopped as well and looked around.
"This is a problem." Gabriella frowned. "There's no sign of it anywhere."
"Do we risk splitting the team?" Abby asked. "It could help us cover more ground."
"I can agree to that." Quincey nodded. Soon, everyone on the team had caught up.
"Why did we stop?" Jackie asked. "The other team are still on the move!"
"I believe we need to come up with a strategy." Jeanette placed a hand on her chin in thought.
"We already did." Abby interjected. "We're going to split the team into smaller groups."
"Oh?" Jeanette narrowed her eyes at Abby, clearly irritated by her.
"I will go alone along this path." Quincey decided as he pointed down a path that looked jagged and unsafe.
"Really? Abby and I can accompany you." Gabriella offered.
"I prefer working alone." Quincey said firmly.
"Hey, this is still a team effort-" Abby tried to say but Quincey had already took off down the path on his own. "Fine. Whatever." She rolled her eyes. "Gabriella and Nymeria, you're both with me." She said as she pointed at the two girls before heading down another path.
"Yay! Adventure!" Nymeria cheered as she followed them.
"I cannot believe they just did that without my consent." Jeanette huffed.
"Beatrice and I will go down this path." Jackie said then started sprinting down a much clearer path, still carrying Beatrice in his arms.
"Then that leaves me with the rest of you." Jeanette turned around to see only Keith and Alysson there. "Hold on, where is Daniel?"
"I saw him sneak away deeper into the woods." Keith answered while giving an anxious glance at the trees. "Maybe to report in our situation to his superior."
"Can we just move on already?" Alysson sighed as he went down the last path away from the clearing.
"Yes but I'll be leading us through." Jeanette insisted as she hurriedly went in front of Alysson and took the lead.
~End Confessional~
Jackie: I really don't like losing. Not that I'm a bad loser or anything but I just get this urge that I have to try to win no matter what. I gotta push my body to its limits in order to win challenges, even though Beatrice's weight is starting to take a toll on me. *he sighs*
Jeanette: Did Abby just tell the team what to do without my consent? How dare she!? And to think that Quincey isn't willing to become a team player shows just how he acts in challenges. Although, I could still use that to my advantage someday. I just need to exert control over the team. I'll start by winning over Alysson and Keith, though by the looks of it it might take some work. Not to mention I'm not very fond of Alysson.
Abby: As the head team manager I'm used to barking out orders like that. That doesn't mean I'm lazy though so don't get the wrong idea! I just had to step in like that so we wouldn't fall behind. Oh shoot, I forgot to tell them what our signal will be when one group finds the cabin! Darn it!
~End Confessional~
(Black Knights)
The team were currently running through a rocky terrain that leads up to the tall hills on the island. Caitlyn and Jamie took the lead while Kazuo and Eliza brought up the rear, with Kazuo still clearly still tipsy from the liquor he just drank.
"I still can't believe he drank alcohol back at the yacht." Jamie frowned as she glanced back at Kazuo and Eliza. "He's making a bad example for the younger audience. I hope Eliza can keep him focused."
"I don't think morals amount to much in this show." Caitlyn shrugged as she paused for a bit to take pictures of the scenery. "Chris is pretty sadistic you know."
"Yeah but we have a new host." Jamie pointed out. "Sure Blaineley is still here but she isn't the main host of the season."
"You're talking about Valnoir, right?" Caitlyn clarified. "To be honest, there isn't much information about him. At least, nothing interesting shows up in the database."
"You have access to a database? I thought you were just a photographer." Jamie tilted her head. Caitlyn smiled innocently.
"I've got friends in the force." The journalist simply said.
"Well I'm from the force and we can be friends." Jamie giggled.
"That would be nice. Having allies is a good thing." Caitlyn smiled.
"I'm also friends with Tom and Silvia so we're a pretty big group now." Jamie added.
"Not bad. I think I'll stick with you guys." Caitlyn said as they heard the sounds of a riverbank. "Let's follow the river. Maybe the cabin is along the riverbank." She suggested. Jamie nodded and they started to go along the riverbank.
~Confessional~
Caitlyn: I can have as many allies as I want just so long as I don't get found out. If I can have multiple alliances, then I'm basically safe for the entire first half of the season. I think I can get the others to be in an alliance with me because of my great persuasion skills. *she smirks proudly*
~End Confessional~
Antoine ran faster to keep up with Gabriel who was running alongside Tom. Gabriel saw this and rolled his eyes.
"Trivia maniac incoming..." He sighed.
"Hey guys! Wanna know a cool fact about rivers?" Antoine smirked at them.
"No so go away..." Gabriel grumbled.
"I'm not really interested either." Tom answered. "I'm more interested in finding out why a newbie host is the main host and now the glorious Blaineley." He clenched his fist and scowled.
"Come on, someone has to inject knowledge into your dumb brains." Antoine insisted.
"Hey, I'm not dumb." Tom protested.
"Don't bother with him..." Gabriel told him. "Just ignore him and keep running..." He said as he ran ahead of them.
"You're just avoiding me because you're not as smart as I am!" Antoine called out arrogantly. "Can you believe that guy?" He turned towards Tom.
"I can't even believe you." Tom rolled his eyes as he ran ahead as well. Antoine grumbled in annoyance and just trailed behind them.
Silvia saw all this happen and thought to herself while holding her helmet in her hands. Her train of thought was interrupted when Winona came up to her with a smile.
"Hey there." The fashionista greeted.
"Oh, hi there." Silvia greeted back with a smile.
"I heard you made quite the entrance back there, huh?" Winona giggled as she held out her hand. "I'm Winona, but I think you already know that since I was introduced third to the last. I can tell we're gonna be fast friends!" Silvia reached out and shook her hand.
"I'm Silvia. I'm a cosplayer and resident nerd." The stormtrooper introduced. "And yeah, I can see us become friends. We did leave them breathless with our entrances."
"So what do you think of our teammates right now?" Winona asked her as she motioned towards their team.
"I can tell that boy back there doesn't care much about the challenge." Silvia glanced back at Eliza and Kazuo, where Eliza was struggling to keep Kazuo in line to follow the team. "And nobody seems to like Antoine very much."
"I noticed that too." Winona chirped. "Do you think we should vote either one of them out?"
"Well Kazuo may be tipsy but he can surprisingly keep up. And Antoine is at least trying to get ahead and prove himself." Silvia shrugged. "We'll just have to see."
~Confessional~
Silvia: Even though Antoine basically drew himself a big target on his back for his attitude, I don't like letting my emotions judge my decisions too much. I want to be the team player that will vote out the weakest links only. That way, our team can get stronger and stronger. Winona doesn't seem weak despite the fact she's wearing a cocktail dress outdoors so I believe she'll be a good investment.
Winona: It's only day one and I've made two friends already! This is so amazing! I was kinda hoping to befriend everyone on my team but some others may take a little more effort and understanding. I'm talking about Antoine, Kazuo, and Eliza of course.
~End Confessional~
Bringing up the rear were Kazuo, Eliza, and Caleb. Caleb was busy looking around the rocks for something, ignoring the other two.
"Hey Caleb!" Eliza called out to him a bit too loudly. "Eyes on the prize!" She laughed.
"I'm looking for something here." Caleb grunted as he kept searching.
"Can't that wait? We have a challenge to do!" Eliza scoffed. "If we lose then we're voting you out."
"Don't be too harsh on him, we don't know his story." Kazuo said as he lightly shoved Eliza playfully like a drunk. "What if we vote...vote out someone who is strong on our team? Isn't that much more fun?"
"It kinda is." Eliza laughed and so did Kazuo. "But that's also just dumb." Caleb frowned as he overheard their conversation and tried to go on ahead but Kazuo wrapped one arm around his shoulder to make him stay.
"Don't leave us, Caleb. What if an alien abducts us?" Kazuo said as he looked up at the sky.
"Aliens aren't real." Caleb said bluntly.
"Maybe in another timeline, sure." Kazuo laughed.
"Can I go now?" Caleb sighed. "I'm trying to find more things I can use in the future. Both of you are distracting me."
"But you look like a hobo doing it." Eliza laughed as she walked on ahead.
"But it's none of your business." Caleb rolled his eyes.
"Hey, hurry up!" Antoine called out to the three of them. "We found the cabin."
~Confessional~
Eliza: The cabin? Yeah right. Surely this won't be that easy. *she rolls her eyes*
Kazuo: So far the results are good. I brought up the rear and got to bond with Caleb. I wonder what would have happened if I didn't get tipsy and ran alongside those in front. I say that Caleb would be all alone and maybe even side track and go the wrong way. My choice made sure the team stayed together.
Caleb: I'm just here minding my own business and these two just had to ruin it like that? I'm seriously going to get bored in here if I don't find something to work on.
~End Confessional~
Jamie pointed down the riverbank where the cabin can be seen. It was located further down and across where they are, though the only means to get there is through hopping over the small rocks that formed a path towards it. The river current is especially strong in that area, making it dangerous to traverse.
"Only a little bit further, everyone!" Jamie exclaimed to her teammates.
"And if any of us falls in...back to square one..." Gabriel sighed with a shake of his head.
"Don't be so pessimistic." Winona frowned. "We can do it!"
"Says the person wearing stilettos..." Gabriel droned.
"Are you people that dumb to stall here or are we gonna do this?" Antoine crossed his arms impatiently.
"How about you go first then?" Caitlyn retorted. Antoine scoffed and went on ahead of them.
"I will." He said defiantly.
"Will this be alright?" Jamie asked. "Antoine isn't a very good leader by the looks of it."
"Just look at it this way." Eliza said with a dark chuckle as she and Kazuo caught up. "If he fails then we can vote him off. Then everyone is happy." She giggles.
"I...can get behind that." Jamie nodded with uncertainty but shrugged and continued on walking. Silvia looked beside her and saw Tom muttering to himself.
"What's up?" The stormtrooper asked him.
"I'm seriously bothered that Blaineley isn't leading this season." Tom sighed. "How can I compete properly knowing that?"
"Hey, you need to get your game face on." Silvia urged. "Don't let the team see this or else they'll vote you out."
"That wouldn't be so bad. Lost motivation." Tom sighed. "Let's just get this over with." He went on ahead of her. Silvia frowned as she watched him go before Caleb went up to her.
"Did he break up with you? I'm so sorry." Caleb said to her solemnly.
"What? No!" Silvia protested. "I'm taken already. It's just that he's not trying hard to win like the rest of us."
"Well so am I." Caleb shrugged. "Without something to tinker, I get bored easily. Like right now, for instance."
"But we're in the middle of the challenge." Silvia reasoned. "We should be taking this seriously so we can win and not vote someone out."
"I don't know. I feel like voting out either Eliza or Kazuo tonight." Caleb shrugged with a sigh.
"Why are you even thinking like this? Focus on the challenge!" Silvia encouraged. Kazuo heard their conversation and sped down a bit to match their pace.
"I know you don't like me but ever thought of what would happen if you voted off someone you like rather than someone you hate for a change?" Kazuo suggested.
"Look, if you need me, I'll be minding my own business. Don't worry, I'll cross the rocks too." Caleb said dismissively as he went away from the group and began searching around the rocks again. Silvia just shook her head in disappointment and wore her helmet again.
~Confessional~
Silvia: The team isn't banding together and it sucks! Don't they see that this has to be a team effort? Kazuo is drunk, Tom is depressed because of the host thing, and Caleb is just minding his own business. And to think it's all happening on day one. *she sighs and taps her fake blaster gun* I can't wait to see what the coming days have for us.
Antoine: I'll show my team just how superior I am by being the first to cross those platform of rocks. You'll see, they'll be in shock and awe after this and maybe they'll even bow down. *he laughs loudly*

(White Stallions)
Abby, Nymeria, and Gabriella wandered down a path that had few trees. They could hear a few birds chirping around them which caught Gabriella's attention for the most part.
"I take it you like birds?" Abby asked her teammate.
"Only some kinds of birds." Gabriella answered. "Usually the ones only found in tropical rain forests."
"So you don't like Daniel's crow?" Nymeria tilted her head.
"Not one bit." Gabriella laughed. "What a weird choice for a pet."
"I wonder why he brought it though." Abby said as she looked down in thought.
"Keith said he might be a government spy." Nymeria said in almost a whisper.
"What was that? A government spy?" Gabriella gave an amused scoff. "I kinda suspected Keith to be a little nuts, but this takes it to a whole new level."
"Yeah, we shouldn't really judge him like that without talking to him first." Abby said. "I learned that when I was in charge of training new recruits for the soccer team. Appearances can be deceiving and so can their personality. You never know when they could be a beast when it comes to playing."
"You look like you're talking about a specific person." Gabriella smirked.
"Oooh, is it a boy? I bet it's a boy!" Nymeria exclaimed giddily. This made Abby blush a bit.
"Um, it's nothing! Can we change the topic now?" Abby said quickly.
"Aw, come on. Tell us." Gabriella insisted. "Is he a beast in bed too?" She laughed.
"Hey we still have a challenge to do." Abby said as she hurried down the path, her face flushed from embarrassment. Gabriella laughed more and Nymeria went to catch up.
~Confessional~
Abby: I didn't want to indulge them in my personal life that quickly. Trust is something that is earned after all. But otherwise, they're both really good people and I'm glad I got to be in the same team as them.
Gabriella: I like Abby and Nymeria. They both like outdoors and are fun to be with! I hope nobody in the team votes them off, or me for that matter. I don't know what Nymeria can do yet but if that little display of parkour back at the yacht proved anything, it's that she can probably do much more when it comes to physical challenges.
~End Confessional~
Jeanette, Keith, and Alysson all walked down the same path that led out of the woods. They could already see much more sunlight in the distance, making them increase their pace a bit.
"You think Daniel told them of my position?" Keith said a bit anxiously.
"I keep telling you that Daniel is not a spy." Jeanette sighed.
"You don't know that!" Keith insisted, looking around in a paranoid state.
"You're cute when you're paranoid." Alysson flirted.
"No I'm not." Keith glared at Alysson. "You're just trying to get close to me because you're in cahoots with Daniel too!" He accused.
"But I'm not!" Alysson said in shock.
"You're putting on this flirtatious facade so you can learn my secrets and then create an 'accident' afterwards. Too bad though because I know all your ways!" Keith exclaimed as he moved away from Alysson.
"Will you both please cease this nonsense this instant!?" Jeanette raised her voice angrily. "We are in the middle of a challenge. If we lose, I am blaming this on both of you." Jeanette sighed.
"I just want to vote out Daniel." Keith grumbled.
"No we're not doing that, because we are going to win and I will lead us to that victory." Jeanette said confidently. "So hurry up you two."
Alysson sighed to himself as he watched Keith continue to ignore him and move ahead.
~Confessional~
Alysson: Keith is going to be a but hard to win over. Should I just give up on him and move on to Daniel? Actually, the jester seems nice too. I'll go try my chances with him later on after this.
~End Confessional~
Jackie jogged alongside Beatrice now, panting a bit due to the pain he felt after carrying her that far.
"Are you alright? Sorry to be such a burden." Beatrice apologized shyly. "I'll try to run faster."
"Alright." Was all Jackie said as he stared ahead of him, searching for the cabin. "Just keep your eyes peeled and focus. We might overlook it." He ordered.
"Got it." Beatrice hastily said, still surprised about Jackie's change of behavior.
"It has to be around here somewhere. We're almost at the edge of the forest." Jackie muttered.
"Do you think the others found it already?" Beatrice asked.
"I'm not sure. We should find a way to contact them if we do find it." Jackie looked up at the sky. "Remember, everyone on the team must be present."
"Oh, right." Beatrice realized.
"That Abby thought too quickly. It's dangerous." Jackie shook his head. "But I'll deal with her later. For now, winning is our priority."
"Y-Yes." Beatrice stammered a bit.
After weaving through the forest a bit more, they found themselves at the end of the forest. It was a clear grassy meadow with a single large oak tree towering high. In its shade is a medium sized wooden cabin, and a sign beside it.
"We did it!" Jackie cheered as he rushed over to the cabin with a victorious smile. "This is really it."
"Hmm?" Beatrice went over to the sign and looked at the only symbol embedded on it. It is a men's sign. "But what does this mean?"
"A men's sign?" Jackie also looked confused. "I don't really know. But I do have one guess." Just then, Jeanette, Keith, and Alysson appeared from another side of the forest exit.
"It looks like you guys found it first. Well done." Jeanette complimented.
"And no sign of Daniel anywhere." Keith looked around suspiciously. "I knew it." Alysson just rolled his eyes at that remark.
"Now how do we get the others' attentions?" Alysson asked his team.
"Maybe if someone screams loud enough." Beatrice suggested.
Jackie nodded and let out a loud ear splitting shriek that sounded all throughout the forest, causing all the birds to fly up and away in fright.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The jester yelled at the top of his lungs for a few seconds. The others with him covered their ears and closed their eyes, trying their best to resist the sound. When the was done, they tentatively took their hands off their ears.
"By the stars." Jeanette looked on in surprise and blinked. "That was terrifying."
"Maybe you're the government screamer!" Keith accused as his body shook in anxiety.
"Okay that's just weird." Alysson deadpanned.
"It's a thing! I swear!" Keith insisted adamantly.
"They better be here soon." Jackie mumbled. He looked towards Beatrice, who gasped and looked away. "What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing." Beatrice answered. Jackie just shrugged and continued looking at the forest, hoping their teammates make it there quickly.
~Confessional~
Beatrice: Jackie is scary when he's that serious. And that shriek, oh God I don't think I can talk to him normally after that. *she frowns*
~End Confessional~
(Black Knights)
The team reached the part of the river where the current was stronger and the platform of rocks can be seen.
"We're here." Caitlyn announced.
"Now we have to cross it." Silvia looked at the path. "Who wants to go first?"
"Me!" Kazuo volunteered.
"Are you sure? Maybe I should help you." Jamie offered.
"Why thank you. I do wanna find out what happens when such a pretty police officer like you helps me out." Kazuo winked at her, making Jamie blush a bit at the comment.
"L-Let's just go." The police officer said. Kazuo nodded and leaped over to the first rock. Everyone gasped as he did, but he surprisingly kept his balance. He leaped over the other one without breaking rhythm. "Hey you're not so bad at this." She leaped at the rock he was previously in and followed him, ready to help him out if ever.
"This is almost too easy." Kazuo thought aloud. "I wonder what would happen if I deliberately fell in."
"Wait, what?" Jamie blinked. She could only stare in shock as Kazuo purposely fell into the river. "Hey!" She leaped to another rock then reached out to grab his arm.
"What is that guy doing?" Caitlyn exclaimed. Luckily, Jamie was able to latched unto Kazuo's arm and used all her strength to make sure he didn't get carried away by the current.
"Don't worry, I got this." Eliza called out as she went to catch up to the two and grabbed Kazuo's other arm. "I swear we are voting you out if we lose because of you."
"Aw how sweet. Such great consequences for my experimental actions." Kazuo laughed.
"Why do the tipsy ones always go first?..." Gabriel sighed.
"And there!" Eliza said as both she and Jamie managed to pull Kazuo back on the rocks.
"Thanks guys. You're the best." Kazuo said gratefully as he continued on to the other side.
"But what was that all about?" Jamie wondered as she followed him. Eliza was the third person to make it through. "Alright, who's next?" She called out.
"Looks unsafe if Kazuo slipped in." Antoine remarked.
"It looked like he was deliberately doing it." Silvia noticed. "But we can question him later." She carefully made her way across, making sure her armor didn't make her slip.
"I should remove these first." Winona took off her stilettos and began crossing while barefoot.
"Let's get this over with..." Gabriel grunted as he followed suit. They both carefully crossed the path and managed to make it to the other side. They joined Jamie, Kazuo, Silvia, and Eliza there.
"I wonder if there are any interesting things in the water." Caleb said as he began to cross.
"Don't even think about it." Silvia called out. "Just cross and we can win this thing."
"Sheesh. Fine then." Caleb sighed as he kept his focus on where he was going.
~Confessional~
Caleb: Does anyone even care about what I want? I'm leaving them alone so it's only natural they do the same, right?
Jamie: That little stunt Kazuo pulled could have costed us the challenge and put him in danger! What was he thinking? Although, I admit he is kinda cute. *she giggles* But that's beside the point! I'll go confront him about this later. Maybe that will teach him to stray from the goal.
~Confessional~
Meanwhile, over at the cabin where some of the White Stallion members are gathered, they all saw Quincey emerge from the forest.
"There he is! The spy!" Keith exclaimed. "Oh wait no it's just Quincey." He said after finding out who it was that came out to the clearing.
"Excellent timing." Jeanette nodded in approval. "Come on over and join us." She called out to him. Quincey nodded and walked over to where they are.
"Who else are we waiting for?" Quincey asked them.
"Nymeria, Abby, Daniel, and Gabriella." Beatrice listed. "I hope they make it here soon."
"For someone who's just been to the forest, you still look fresh." Alysson flirted as he winked at Quincey. The latter smiled politely.
"Thank you for saying so. It took some training to make sure nature does as little damage as possible to my outfit."
"Training, huh." Jeanette muttered to herself. "Interesting."
Just then, some leaves rustled in another part of the clearing and out emerged Abby, Gabriella, and Nymeria.
"Sorry for the wait you guys!" Gabriella waved to the team.
"Did someone bring a megaphone? That was one loud shriek." Abby asked.
"Nope. Just me." Jackie told her simply. Abby blinked at the jester in utter shock.
"Hey look, the team is almost here. Where's Daniel?" Nymeria looked around. Keith pulled her aside.
"Don't go find him. He might suddenly ambush and brainwash you and get all the information I just told you." Keith warned.
"Oh no! That's gonna end up badly." Nymeria covered her mouth.
"Exactly, so just stay away from him until we can find a proper countermeasure." Keith told her. Nymeria nodded with conviction. Jeanette saw all this and just rolled her eyes.
"Where is that crow boy?" Jeanette wondered impatiently as she looked up at the sky.
~Confessional~
Nymeria: Is Daniel really that dangerous? Guess I better prepare for him just in case he does something weird. *she does a few air karate chops*
Abby: Wait, are you serious? Jackie screamed that loudly? Like for real? That's amazing! He could totally be a cheerleader for our soccer team! I gotta go ask him that later.
~End Confessional~
More than half of the Black Knights had crossed the river. Caleb was halfway across and Caitlyn was right behind him.
"Can you hurry up?" Caitlyn urged the boy.
"Don't rush me. I might fall." Caleb said as he carefully went on to the next rock.
"But you're taking forever." Caitlyn groaned as she went to the rock he was previously in.
"Antoine, Tom, get a move on!" Eliza urged irritably as she saw the last two of their teammates still standing there on the other side.
"You go first." Antoine insisted. "The smartest people are always last."
"I don't wanna go first." Tom grumbled. "I wanna see Blaineley come here and tell me to do it." He huffed.
"What?" Antoine looked dumbfounded by that statement.
"You heard me." Tom grumbled again.
"Hey everyone! Tom doesn't wanna do the challenge!" Antoine called out to the rest of the team. By this time, both Caleb and Caitlyn had made it across.
"Don't be ridiculous. Tom is determined to win, right?" Jamie looked at the chubby boy.
"I want Blaineley to come encourage me first." Tom said adamantly.
"We don't have time for that! Just get moving! You too, Antoine!" Silvia said in an angry tone. "You guys are going to cost us the challenge."
"Fine. I'll go first. Smart people always go first." Antoine said haughtily as he started going on the platform.
Silvia rolled her eyes at that remark. The moment Antoine got on the next platform, his foot slipped and fell off it.
"Ahh! Help me!" He screamed as most of his body was in the water, his hands barely holding on to the rocks. "Someone! Please!" He pleaded.
"How pathetic." Eliza commented before turning away.
"We should help him." Winona frowned. Caitlyn sighed to herself.
"I got it." The journalist said as she went back to go help Antoine.
~Confessional~
Caitlyn: Can we please just vote out these two people? Is that possible? I heard double elimination is a thing.
~End Confessional~
Daniel weaved through the forest as fast as he can with his pet crow trying to guide him from overhead. His face was that of worry as he feared he might already be lost and going further and further away from the goal. Just when he was about to make another turn at another path, the crow caw'ed and went in the other direction. Daniel noticed this and immediately tried to follow it.
Meanwhile, the team were still anxiously waiting for Daniel to return.
"What if he got lost?" Gabriella wondered out loud. "Should I go look for him?"
"No, that will not be necessary." Jeanette told her. "If you leave and then Daniel comes back on his own, then we would have to wait for you. It is not worth the risk."
"I guess." Gabriella shrugged but frowned as she glanced back at the forest.
"Maybe the government is trying to give him orders and it's just taking a while." Keith muttered conspiratorially. Nymeria overheard this and gasped a bit in shock.
"Should we be worried?" She asked him.
"We should always be worried when the government is involved." Keith gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes as every part around the clearing, obviously being cautious of wherever Daniel might pop out. Alysson saw this and crossed his arms with a sigh.
"What are you two talking about?" Beatrice went over to Keith and Nymeria with curiosity.
"Nothing you need to know about. The less that others know, the better." Keith said adamantly and motioned for Nymeria to keep quiet as well.
"Got it!" Nymeria nodded vigorously.
"O...kay?" Beatrice tilted her head in confusion.
~Confessional~
Keith: They don't understand! The government probably made this reality tv show to see if the winners of the show could potentially be their elite lapdogs or something! And maybe Daniel is trained to especially compete in this show, like those Careers in the Hunger Games you know. *he wears his tin foil hat again*
Beatrice: I may have a vague idea of what those two were talking about so approaching them wasn't really necessary. Just...I'm just trying to make sure I got a good social game. I know how cutthroat this game can be and so I need friends and allies. I think...or maybe fate has other things in store for me.
~End Confessional~
Over at the Black Knight's side, Caitlyn had already helped up Antoine and both of them are making their way back to where most of the others are.
"That costed us some time..." Gabriel grumbled.
"Shut up. I'm still far more superior than you." Antoine huffed arrogantly as he went over to inspect the cabin. To his surprise, it had the women's sign on it. "Wait, why does this have the women's sign on it?"
"My bet is that only women can sleep here." Jamie deduced.
"So what...the guys sleep outside?" Gabriel sighed and glared at the sign. "How sexist..."
"Then what if the cabin the White Stallions are finding is the men's cabin?" Winona asked.
"Then I'm moving over there, no questions asked." Antoine declared.
"Are we even allowed to do that?" Kazuo wondered as he rocked his head back and forth.
"I personally think they shouldn't sleep outside. They could become creeps at night." Eliza rolled her eyes.
"Don't talk like that to the boys on our team." Jamie shook her head disapprovingly. "And even if they do turn out to be creeps, I can handle it."
"It is reassuring to have a police officer on our side." Winona grinned.
"We're over here you dumb bit-" Antoine protested when suddenly they heard Tom squeal like a fanboy from the other side of the river.
"Ohmygod it's Blaineley!" Tom squealed again as he pointed at the distance towards the side the rest of the team is on. "I'm cominggg!"
"That sounded wrong in my head." Caleb sighed and scratched the back of his head.
"What the-?" Blaineley looked on in shock as Tom suddenly leaped atop rock after rock trying to get to the other side.
"I'm almost there!" Tom exclaimed with renewed vigor and after a moment, was able to join up with the others. He panted a bit in front of the co-host before holding out his hand. "I...made it."
"Well that's a surprise." Blaineley blinked then moved away from him as she saw he had sweaty palms. "I was gonna check in on you losers to see how close you are to winning since both teams are almost complete."
"Does that mean...we win?" Gabriel looked at her. "Tom sped here like a bullet...that has to count for something.."
"You're right on that, weirdly enough." Blaineley said while still glancing at Tom as if he's crazy.
"Come on, at least sound more enthusiastic." Silvia pointed out.
"Fine fine." The co-host sighed and shook her head before putting on a flashy smile for the cameras. "Congratulations, Black Knights! You have won the first challenge of the season and are therefore safe from elimination! Barely cutting it close there, huh losers?"
"Good enough for someone as dumb as her." Antoine muttered under his breath which earned a slap on the back of his head by Eliza who apparently heard him.
"Quiet, you." She scolded with a scowl his way.
"I already told Valnoir the news." Blaineley told the team. "So the next order of business are your sleeping arrangements."
"Yeah I wonder why the women's sign is on here." Caleb pointed at the sign that hangs by the entrance of the cabin.
"I already deduced that." Jamie pouted. "I said that this is why the girls will sleep."
"You're right on that." Blaineley nodded. "The White Stallions' cabin is in the forest. That's where the boys will sleep. So get to it!"
"Sheesh, what a dumb host to tell us to go without giving us rest." Antoine rolled his eyes.
"You barely did anything." Caitlyn said through gritted teeth.
"Hey you can't call Blaineley dumb you imbecile!" Tom yelled as he stomped up towards the trivia guru. Both Jamie and Silvia had to hold him back. "You better be thankful that we're not in elimination." He seethed. "And that Jamie is surprisingly stronger than I thought." He added.
"Oh thanks." Jamie giggled.
"Tsk. Takes some girls to stop you huh." Antoine smirked.
"Now now, let's all relax." Silvia tried to calm him down.
"Yeah I can take it from here." Kazuo wobbled up to them and did a sloppy salute. "I'll make sure they both stay faaarrr away from each other on the trip."
"I can help sure." Caleb shrugged. "No promises though, since I'm pretty sure I wanna explore the forest before it gets too dark."
"I'm not dealing with that..." Gabriel stated firmly and went on ahead without the other boys.
"Guess that's my cue to leave you dumbasses in the dust." Antoine laughed and went on as well. Winona frowned deeply and shook her head at Antoine's remark, while Caitlyn's eye twitched.
"Look Tom you can't let him get to you." Silvia told him.
"He didn't even apologize." Tom sighed angrily. "I'm sorry I failed you Blaineley!" He immediately bowed down at the co-host's feet.
"Yeahhhh...I'm outta here." Blaineley said, clearly weirded out now and hurriedly went away.
~Confessional~
Kazuo: Antoine can be a good candidate for this butterfly effect experiment I have going on. I just need to find out how to make it worthwhile. Oh and Tom can be a great candidate too! This is really starting to get *hic* interesting.
Tom: If Antoine keeps this up, then I swear there will be hell to pay! No one trash talks one of my favorite hosts like that and gets away with it!
Eliza: This team is gonna be a handful I can tell. I didn't expect that officer to be strong but hey, I could use the personal challenge. *she winks at the camera*
~End Confessional~
The scene changed to a few minutes in the past at the time when the White Stallions were declared the losers. They were gathered around Valnoir to wait for what he has to say. Daniel had joined them just after Tom crossed the river.
"White Stallions." Valnoir addressed them. "You have lost the first challenge of the season. Such a disappointment." He cackled.
"No need to rub it in." Abby frowned.
"But it's fun." Valnoir cackled again. "That means you all are facing elimination tonight. And while you think you have time to plan your strategy, you don't! I'm sure you've seen the sign by this cabin yes?"
"Uhuh." Nymeria nodded vigorously.
"I think we all know why these signs exist." Quincey interrupted.
"Yeah, it's so the government knows which experiments go on which cabin. Take this men's cabin, for example. I bet it's here to experiment on guys' small di-" Keith tried to say.
"These cabins cater to the sex indicated to the sign." Valnoir interjected before Keith finished his sentence. "In this case, it's the men's cabin so all girls here, get the hell out!" He cackled at the end as he pointed at the forest again, which is starting to get dark as sunset passed. "Your cabin is by the river where the Black Knights are."
"Wait, do we really have to go right now?" Beatrice frowned. "It looks scary out there."
"I got you so don't worry. I go night strolling all the time." Gabriella bragged. "Mountaintops, forests, even a desert once. We'll be fine."
"Can't the guys accompany us at least?" Abby raised her hand. Quincey stepped forward.
"I would like to accompany them. The night looks unsafe to those unaware of the surrounding area." Quincey said. Valnoir shook his head with a malicious grin.
"Nope. None of you are accompanying them. Those who dare try it will be eliminated right on the spot." The host declared. The other boys didn't speak up after that. Quincey still looked a bit conflicted before Gabriella gave him an assuring smile.
"Like I said, I got this." She gave a thumbs up. "You go on ahead with your beauty sleep."
"I'm not sleeping with this spy!" Keith pointed a finger at Daniel, who simply ignored him and looked at the girls who were about to leave. "He costed us the challenge too!"
"You don't have a choice." Valnoir smirked.
"We could have had that challenge, we should do better next time!" Jackie exclaimed, using his cheery tone again. "We have to win tomorrow!" His gaze had a flicker of annoyance but his cheery side overturned it.
"Heck yeah!" Abby cheered. Jeanette saw that Alysson has yet to move and decided to grab his wrist.
"What are you still doing? We have to get to our cabin." Jeanette said as she began taking him away with them.
"What but I'm-" Alysson soon caught himself before he said anything else. "-just looking at the clearing one last time before we go. It is a nice place after all."
"But I have a feeling the cabin by the river will be nice too." Beatrice smiled as they began walking.
"Stay safe, girls!" Jackie waved to them. "See you tomorrow!"
"Try your best to talk strategy amongst yourselves. If you can." Valnoir encouraged with a sadistic grin. "Maybe you might surprise me during the ceremony."
"I think I'll pass." Keith glared sideways at Daniel. "I need some time alone and away from this spy." With that, he stalked off back into the forest. Daniel just rolled his eyes and went inside the cabin to check out what's inside.
"This might not be a difficult vote." Quincey muttered to himself as he watched Daniel go.
"Really?" Jackie tilted his head at him.
After some time of walking, the girls of the White Stallions crossed paths with the boys of the Black Knights. They stopped walking and looked at each other.
"Hello girls. Good evening." Kazuo greeted with a smile and bowed sloppily as he was still tipsy.
"Good evening as well, good sir." Jeanette greeted back with a slight yet unnerved smile.
"Congrats on a good challenge I guess..." Gabriel said as he scratched his head.
"Don't congratulate them! Taunt them!" Antoine urged. "Hey, girls! Better get used to elimination ceremonies because the Black Knights will steamroll over you in the next challenge! All because of my master genius of course." He bragged.
"Look, we're all tired so can we please just skip this?" Abby asked as she yawned.
"Yeah since it's a long walk ahead." Gabriella added.
"Good point." Tom nodded. "You guys still have to talk strategy."
"Yeah, something you can't do." Antoine scoffed. "Sucking up to Blaineley won't win you the million."
"You wanna say that again?" Tom leered as he clenched his fist.
"Now nowww." Kazuo interjected as he went in between the two. "No violence. Not until the hosts are here to see this. Then go do violence. Could be fun." He chuckled."
"We should probably get going now." Beatrice said softly as she hurried along and away from the boys.
"Good idea. It's their issues." Nymeria said to her and they both went ahead. Jeanette saw them go and decided to follow.
"Nice team you guys got here." Gabriella smirked to Gabriel.
"Shut up..." Gabriel grunted before brushing past her. Caleb followed close behind while looking at some sort of old clockwork gear.
"I guess we'll see you tomorrow then, ladies." Kazuo winked at the remaining girls of the White Stallions before following his teammates.
"He's pretty cute." Gabriella commented. She looked at Alysson, whose eyes stared after Kazuo as he left. "Don't you think so?"
"Oh! Um, yeah he is." Alysson immediately said as he snapped back to reality.
~Confessional~
Antoine: Seriously, is Tom that stupid and inferior? He keeps fawning over a stupid co-host. Valnoir clearly has more power and doesn't look really stupid so why doesn't he just drop that dead weight of a woman?
Tom: Antoine is so toxic. Like who would dare disrespect the great Blaineley? He definitely won't get a spot in Celebrity Manhunt with that attitude.
Alysson: There is something, well, unique about Kazuo. Maybe I should try my luck at seducing him. He didn't seem to realize that I'm a guy after all. *he giggles* This should be fun. Really fun.
Jeanette: As I walked, I realized something important. Considering the distance between the two cabins, it will be very difficult for us to create alliances with the opposite sex. There might not even be enough time to plan the votes or who their potentials targets may be. I hope I'm wrong here.
Kazuo: That pokemon trainer cosplayer, Alysson was it? How intriguing. I think I found another source of fun.
~End Confessional~
(Elimination Ceremony)
The White Stallions met up in the dock area where they had initially started from. A single small yacht lay parked beside it, and the two hosts stood before the docks with grins on their faces. The losing team sat at tree stumps that were laid out before them and a large campfire lit up the place as well as gave them warmth.
"Welcome White Stallions, to your first elimination ceremony." Valnoir greeted as he spread out his arms dramatically. "This is also the first elimination in the game, so the person going home tonight has the highest shame!" He cackled like a madman and in that moment, lightning crackled and thunder roared above.
"Cool special effects. I love it!" Nymeria exclaimed while clapping.
"They aren't. It was just a coincidence." Valnoir shrugged.
"Let's just get on with it already." Blaineley rolled her eyes. "I still have a massage to get to."
"And I still need to draft an escape plan in case the government will attack us here." Keith declared. "You'll thank me later."
"Sure we will, darling." Jeanette just sighed.
"We should start now if we are to get some decent sleep." Quincey stated. "We need to be in top form tomorrow."
"Agreed." Jackie nodded with a yawn.
"Then let's not waste time anymore." Valnoir interjected. "There are pieces of paper on the stump where you are sitting on. Write the name of the person you want gone and give the papers to me." He explained. "You cannot show your paper to each other. If we catch you doing so then we'll eliminate the offenders on the spot. Afterwards, you can go to the confessional area to tell the audience about your votes."
Everyone did as they were told and began writing the name of who they're voting for on the paper they were given. They all made sure nobody was looking at their votes as they did so. One by one, they gave it to Valnoir. He looked at each of the votes then handed it to Blaineley.
"This is how it's going to work." Blaineley got everyone's attention. "I'll read out the votes one by one. If you got the most votes then that means your team eliminated you. Got that?" Everyone nodded. "Then let's get this over with." She said in a bored tone. "First vote goes to Keith."
"Your superiors won't get me!" Keith scowled at Daniel, who rolled his eyes at him and just glared at him silently.
"Second vote is for Daniel." Blaineley read. Daniel shook his head and narrowed his eyes at his team.
"Third vote goes to Daniel again." She continued. "So says the fourth vote too."
"Looks like it's gonna be a landslide vote." Gabriella guessed.
"Yikes." Nymeria frowned and looked at Daniel, who was frowning and taking nervous glances at his pet crow.
"Fifth vote goes to Keith." Blaineley read. "Sixth and seventh votes go to Daniel." She sighed then read the other votes. "Okay what's the point of this now? They're all for Daniel!"
"Really?" Abby blinked.
"As I feared." Beatrice muttered to which no one heard her.
"That was totally not dramatic." Alysson pointed out. Gabriella frowned at her.
"That's your first reaction to a teammate getting voted out?" Gabriella shook her head.
"Oh please you act like you didn't vote for him too." Alysson called her out. Gabriella just looked the other way.
"That's the way of the game." She sadly responded.
Daniel stood up quietly and looked at each of them one last time, his crow caw'ing at them in anger.
"Take him away, Valnoir!" Keith exclaimed as he smirked. "No government spy will ruin this team now!"
"Gladly. Though I do hope you're right about your other claim." Valnoir chuckled as he turned to Daniel. "Daniel, your team has eliminated you and you are deemed the first boot of the season. Any last words?" He asked. Daniel made no response. "Fine. Keep your secrets." He mocked with a chuckle and the other boy just stared angrily at him before storming off towards the yacht.
"At least he knows what to do." Blaineley shrugged.
"Why won't he say anything to us?" Nymeria looked sad.
"Don't pity him." Keith warned her. "He's staying quiet to keep anonymous."
"He is mute." Jeanette suddenly said. "He will not talk because he simply cannot talk." She gave one short nod towards Daniel. I wish I could say it was pleasant working with you, but you did nothing to make up for your flaws."
"That's kinda mean, don't you think?" Abby said. "He was trying at least."
"Him trying did not give us a win." Jeanette said matter-of-factly. "That is all there is to it. The unanimous votes backs up my claim."
"Enough of this. You should all go back." Valnoir ordered.
"Yeah. Shoo-shoo already so we can wrap this up." Blaineley added.
"But I wish to see him go. To show my respect still." Quincey said to them.
"Same here." Jackie nodded.
"I said go or I'll eliminate you two as well." Valnoir growled. "Do not try to test my patience."
Beatrice tugged at Jackie's sleeve. "We should just listen to him."
"That's sad but alright." Jackie shrugged and went to leave along with his other teammates.
Daniel just silently boarded the yacht as Valnoir went to see him off. "You're stained with the title of 20th place. Your crow is that useless huh." He cackled. The crow caw'ed at him but the host paid it no mind. "Doesn't matter. Have a safe trip." He said just as the yacht took off from the dock.
As the White Stallions were about to leave the elimination site, they heard an explosion in the distance. They turned back and saw that the yacht Daniel was in was on fire and was sinking.
"What the-" Quincey started to say.
"Aaahh! The ship just blew up!" Nymeria exclaimed in shock and fear.
"Did the government punish him and made sure he'll become silent forever?" Keith looked around in a paranoid state as he adjusted his tin foil hat.
"Hey this is serious. What happened?" Abby started to go back to the elimination site when Valnoir appeared with a sadistic grin on his face.
"Don't bother going back. Daniel is fine." The host said with a chuckle.
"You call that fine!?" Jackie gasped.
"And I mean it when I say that you shouldn't go back." Valnoir narrowed his eyes darkly at all of them. "I'll eliminate you on the spot if you do."
"That kind of threat again?" Jeanette raised her eyebrow.
"Daniel is in safe hands." Valnoir waved her off.
"Still not reassuring." Gabriella shook her head.
"I think, I think he really is safe." Beatrice said after a while.
"How can you tell?" Alysson tilted his head.
"Just a feeling." Beatrice said firmly. "But a good feeling."
"See? The girl says he's safe. Won't you trust your teammate? Maybe it'll help you win more." Valnoir cackled before heading back to the elimination site. The White Stallions glanced at each other uneasily but continued on back to their respective cabins.
Valnoir and Blaineley stood at the docks with the burning yacht over at the distance acting as their background. They didn't seem bothered by it and were grinning.
"And our first elimination went down with a blast!" Valnoir cackled.
"This is sure to get the authorities' attentions." Blaineley smirked at him.
"Then it's a good thing this island isn't owned by any country." Valnoir smirked back.
"Anyway, with the first elimination all said and done, will the White Stallions make a comeback?" Blaineley asked.
"Will Kazuo get his act together and take this game seriously?" Valnoir rolled his eyes as he asked.
"Can Alysson successfully seduce a guy and keep his secret hidden from the girls?" Blaineley added.
"Find out next time on Total..." Valnoir started.
"Drama..." Blaineley chimed in.
"Forgotten Island!" They both finished.
~Votes~
Alysson: Gonna have to vote for Keith here. He's so hard to seduce that it's getting annoying!
Keith: Voting for that government spy Daniel. He thinks his superiors can keep him safe but I say that they don't!
Jeanette: Pardon me Daniel but I am afraid that you just do not make the cut in order to stay in the team. I must vote for you.
Quincey: Daniel was the last to arrive and costed us the challenge. Making him stay any longer might become more of a liability than an asset.
Daniel: *he holds up his paper with Keith's name written on it*
Abby: Really sorry to do this Daniel, but I have to vote you out. You aren't even talking to the team so how can you join in the teamwork and effort?
Gabriella: Abby talked to me earlier and said we should vote Daniel out. I don't see why not considering he costed us the challenge earlier.
Jackie: I must drop the weak link in order for the team to get stronger. Sorry Daniel, but I hope the resort is fun at least.
Beatrice: My vote goes to Daniel. I wish I had the chance to talk to him more. *she sighs sadly*
Nymeria: I'll stand by what Keith said and vote out Daniel! Take that government!
~Eliminated~
20th place: Daniel - The Crow Whisperer
Surprise surprise. The reboot extended its reach until the elimination order. Now let's talk about the mute crow whisperer, aye? Sure he looks mysterious and sure having a crow around to help him might make for good storyline, but it just wouldn't seem right with the plot I have planned. So this is where his story ends. Sorry to all who expected he would have character development that might have come with the reboot, but he was always meant to be an early boot no matter what angle I view this story in. See you all next time! XBloodLegendX
