E1 P2: Evil vs. Lewis

(Heroic Hamsters)

As the elevator opened and the bombs activated, the intercom went on and Chris' voice said, "Oh, and the team captains are for the individual groups. The last person called in each group will lead. For a reminder, the leaders for the heroes are Harold, Owen, B, and Tyler. Better hurry, you're going to blow up in under ten minutes."

After his announcement, the contestants split off into their smaller groups, ready to decide which path they would take.

(Team Harold)

"Thanks to my training in martial arts, I sense that this is the correct path to go down," Harold said, pointing to the down path.

"Wait, how can you be so sure? Wouldn't going up be more sufficient?" Cameron asked, although he truly didn't mind either way.

"Hey guys? Can we please not walk a lot? All we did was go to the elevator and I'm so tired. Can we rest a minute before we start going anywhere?" asked Lindsey, who was starting to sit down.

"No Lindsey, we must continue onward. If we do not, the villains will win, and our honor will dwindle," Harold said and started walking down.

Sierra was jumping up and down and picked up Cody. "As long as I have Cody, then it doesn't matter to me!" she said and jumped up and down after Harold.

"Oh well. Come on Lindsey, we don't want to get left behind," Cameron said, following his three teammates.

"Ah, but I hate walking!" she said, but reluctantly followed the rest of her teammates.

Confessional: You should be lucky. Some of us can't walk.

Cameron: Harold is one of my favorite original characters. I was sort of sad he was eliminated early in season three. I still don't know about his logic in going down, but I trust him enough to lead us.

Lindsey: Why couldn't we just take the elevator? That would be so much faster.

(Team Owen)

"Team, I say we go up. Not only would it challenge ourselves, but we can bond by doing vigorous exercise," Brick said while standing attention.

"But it'll take forever to get up there! I say we walk down, it'll be much faster," Owen said, looking wistfully downward.

"I hate to take sides and all, but Owen has a point. Going down would be a lot easier," DJ said.

"I'm not much good without Sadie… so I'll just follow either way," Katie said, a few tear exiting her eyes.

Everyone looked at Bridgette to see what she was thinking. But Bridgette looked a little lost herself, staring down. When she noticed everyone looking, she said, "Well… I say we go down. It's faster and we want to win," she said, looking a little anxious.

Brick and DJ exchanged looks and sighed in defeat. "Alright, lead on Sergeant Owen," Brick said. Owen grinned and started his way down. Brick ran after him, with DJ and Katie not far behind. Bridgette continued after them.

Confessional: DOWN! I'M MELTING DOWN!

Bridgette: Ever since World Tour, I've been kind of addicted to making out with guys. Any guy. Geoff understands, since he does a lot of things with other girls, but I just can't help but be close to guys. Especially already taken guys. Guess Courtney was kind of off on the boyfriend stealer thing, huh?

Brick: I would have rathered gone up. It would have helped our training as cadets. But, we can't have everything.

Katie: It feels so wrong without Sadie. (She sniffles) I wish she were here right now…

(Team B)

"Well B, seems like you're the man," Mike said as they exited the elevator, "Any idea which way we should go?"

B looked around for a moment. After a moment of looking he grinned and pointed down. Before anyone could ask his reasoning, Dawn said, "B seems to have noticed that the number of bombs decreases as you go down. I can see it in his aura," Dawn said.

Everyone looked at Dawn weird for a second, but didn't protest. They started jogging downward. After a few minutes of running, Larry spoke, "Hang on. If we go down, then that decreases my chances in getting my suit back. I hate sounding greedy, but that suit means a lot. B, I know it's the more dangerous way, but could we please go up?"

B pondered a moment. He knew they were already a few minutes behind and going down was the easier choice. But before he could answer, Zoey said, "Don't worry about it Larry. I'll run you up. The rest of you, go ahead and continue down. I'll catch up."

With that, Zoey took Larry and started going back up. The three looked at each other for a sec, shrugged, and continued down.

Confessional: Heads up!

Zoey: I know we may lose the challenge, but Larry seems like a nice enough guy. If his suit didn't mean that much, I'm sure he wouldn't have said anything.

Dawn: With B, it's so easy to know what he's thinking. I don't know why. Maybe it's because he is so shy and he's comfortable around others. I guess I may never know.

Larry: There was a reason I brought my suit up. Yes, my suit is very dear to me. But I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't have a double meaning. I was hoping Dawn would take me up, but Zoey is a kind girl. I'm sure she'll understand my reasoning.

As Zoey raced up the trail, Larry decided to tell Zoey his actual intentions. "Excuse me Zoey, but there was another reason I asked about my suit. I was wondering if we could discuss it."

Zoey was about to answer when a giant metal column started to fall. She quickly jumped away from it as in flattened where she was standing. She shook her head and then answered, "Sorry about that. So, if your suit wasn't your only intention, what was the other one?"

Larry answered, "Well, it's more of a question, but what are your thoughts on the other new contestant, Val, I think he is called."

Zoey kept running ahead as she thought. What did she think of him? She knew he was a puppet. And that he seemed friendly. But why would Larry ask if he wasn't thinking something himself?

"I know that he is a demon inside a sock puppet. He seemed nice when he talked to us. Why? Something bugging you about him?" Zoey asked.

Larry sighed for a moment and said, "Well, I'm not sure if you noticed, but for a split second, he looked… I don't know… evil. And don't forget he is on the villain's team. I just don't feel right about him."

Zoey smiled down at Larry. "I'm sure it's nothing Larry. Besides, we aren't even on the same team. If he is still here when the merge comes along, then try to get off on the right foot. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about."

Larry was silent after that. As Zoey kept running, he couldn't help but smile on how lucky Mike was.

Confessional: Lucky as a duckling!

Larry: Zoey may be right. Just the new contestant jitters. I'm just paranoid. Mike, my friend, you sure no how to pick a girl.

Zoey: Larry does have a point. Why would Chris put Val on the villain's team if Val wasn't a villain? But I bet it's nothing. On a side note, Chris really was cheap. After that first falling pillar I ran into four more. B was right to take the path leading down.

(Team Tyler)

"Hey Tyler, are we almost there? My feet are killing me," complained Sam. Tyler had chosen to take his team of three up. So far, Tyler and Beth were up in the lead while Sam was dragging behind.

"I'm sure it's not much farther. I think I see light up ahead," Tyler said when suddenly, a large piece of the helocarrier fell on top of him.

"Come on, don't let a little debris stop you," Beth mumbled. Tyler's head was spinning and he seemed a little out of it. Sam quickly caught up and looked at Tyler.

"He seems like he's KO'D. Looks like we'll have to carry him up," Sam said and lift Tyler's upper body. Beth grumbled something incoherent but lifted the lower half and both contestants kept running.

Confessional: I thought it was three strikes and you're out?
Sam: I don't think we would have had this problem going down. But Tyler insisted. Man, this feels just like a video game. With Tyler knocked out, it's like running through Mario holding a turtle shell the whole way.

Beth: I don't understand why Sam is so tired. We only started five minutes ago, and he is exhausted. Maybe going up will help him loose a little weight.

(Villainous Vultures)

Two minutes before the elevator doors opened, an announcement came on the intercom. "Oh, and I forgot to tell you the team captains for the individual groups. The last person called in each group will lead. For a reminder, the leaders for the villains are Duncan, Izzy, Geoff, and Courtney. The doors will open in two minutes so be ready to either fall to your doom or climb," Chris said.

(Team Duncan)

"Alright, team leader. I think I'll enjoy this," Duncan smirked. Heather rolled her eyes.

"There is no way you can possibly lead this team. I am way more qualified than you," Heather countered.

Duncan laughed, "Oh yeah? Watch me. I'm going to climb, if any of you want to follow me, be my guest." Heather growled at Duncan and turned away.

Confessional: Climb the Trees!

Duncan: I have dealt with Heather for three seasons. I know how to get under her skin. Just watch, this season, she'll be listening to me.

Heather: Duncan thinks he is so awesome for getting team leader. He only got it because his name was called last. In my opinion, I wish the first person called was leader. But I'll see where Duncan being leader goes.

Scott rode up and bumped Duncan. Duncan glared at Scott. "What do you want?"

Scott replied with a red beep. Duncan was about to reply when Zeke jumped on top of Scott and bared his teeth. Duncan backed away for a second, not sure what was going on. The Lightning said, "I don't want to sha-climb. I rather sha-zip line. I'll see you sha- idiots later, time for me to sha-zip!"

At that, the elevator doors opened and Lightning ran toward the line and hooked himself to it. He then jumped out of the elevator.

Duncan sighed and said, "Fine, we'll take the zip line. But if I fall, I am going to kill Lightning." With that, he hooked up Zeke and Scott and himself and they all jumped out of the elevator. Heather smirked, hooked herself to the line, and jumped.

Confessional: Jump, jump!

Heather: Already Duncan can't control Zeke and Lightning. He'll be coming to me for help in no time.

Lightning: Sha-Duncan is sha- dumb! Sha- Lightning would be the best leader. I would lead with my sha-muscles!

Scott: (His green light flashes.)

(Team Izzy)

Noah was reading his book when Izzy suddenly got in his view. "Hey Noah, aren't you supposed to be hooked up to the zip line?" Izzy asked. She was bouncing up and down for some reason.

"Yeah, like I would willingly hook myself onto that death trap. Say, where are Jo and Mr. Coconut?" he asked, although by the way he asked it didn't seem like he cared.

"They wanted to climb. What party-poopers. The zip line is way more fun! Come on Noah!" she said cheerfully.

Dakota, who was not too far away, rubbed her bracelet. Izzy noticed this, and temporarily dropped Noah. She walked up to Dakota and said, "Hey, it's alright to be nervous. If it makes you feel better, we can climb. May not be as fun, but I rather your safety than you being nervous."

Dakota gave Izzy a smile of thanks. Izzy grinned back and turned back to Noah. "Well Noah? Let's get you climbing!"

Noah looked up and frowned again. "Fine, if I must," he said and attached his cord to the tether. He reluctantly started climbing. Izzy gestured Dakota to do the same. Dakota nodded and strapped herself in. She started climbing as well. Izzy smiled to herself and started climbing.

Confessional: Noah needs to lighten up.

Noah: I don't understand why I always have to do dumb things. After two seasons, I am pretty much done with everything Chris has put us through.

Dakota: Izzy isn't as crazy as I thought she was. She seems… way more sane. I'm glad she's the leader and not someone like Jo or Mr. Coconut.

Izzy: Truth is, after season three, I went through some psychiatric help from my great-uncle. I'm still crazy and love fun, but now I know limits.

Meanwhile, much higher than Izzy, Noah, and Dakota, Jo and Mr. Coconut were looking for foot holds.

"This challenge is purposeless. I would much rather be tested in my knowledge of the contestants," Mr. Coconut grumbled as he walked upward.

Jo looked over at the coconut and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, whatever you say you big nut. At least one of us is smart. All we have are a complete psycho, a cynic, and a mutant. We actually have one smart person on this team, and it so happens to be a coconut," she said and jumped to the next foothold.

Mr. Coconut frowned. "Was that a compliment to me and an insult to yourself, or an insult to me. I already collected data on you. Your threat level was high," he said and slowly took another step.

Jo took this as an opportunity and said, "It was a compliment to you. I mean, if a coconut is superior to a group of three humans, it has to be something. And you know, I was thinking. Since I'm such a high threat level, why don't we team up? That way, we are a brain and brawn duo. What'ya say?"

Mr. Coconut pondered a moment and said, "A likely tactic, given your past performance. Fine, a temporary alliance. Only one quick condition. We both vote Lightning. I scanned him and, frankly, he is the highest threat I have found so far."

Jo laughed at that and took another jump. "Yeah, I can actually agree with that. Alright, I accept. One alliance for one vote for Lightning," she said to the nut. What neither contestant knew was that the other was playing them.

Confessional: Mutiny! Wait, how is that possible if both are plotting against the other?

Mr. Coconut: What I did not tell Jo was that she was the second highest threat. Actually, that is not true. The highest threat of everyone is the one I can't scan, that Mike/Chester/Svetlana/Manitoba fellow. But as we are on separate teams, I'll settle with voting out Jo and Lightning.

Jo: Easy as cake. That nut thinks I'm keeping him around. As if. He may be smarter and know more about contestants, but brawn is way more important than brains. I'll cut him after Lightning's gone. Hey, I may hate brains but the nut has a point.

(Team Geoff)

"Well team, I say we zip line. Not only is it fun, but we can get this challenge done fast!" said Geoff with his normal enthusiastic attitude. The rest of his team rolled their eyes but nodded.

As she was headed toward the zip line, Gwen suddenly tripped. She looked up to see Trent walk past, who didn't even give her a second glance. He strapped himself to the zip line and went for it.

Gwen sighed as Justin hooked himself up and jumped off himself. She hooked herself in and was about to jump when someone put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Do not fret Gwen. Not all of us are well liked," said Alejandro. Gwen blushed and then jumped.

Alejandro clipped himself onto the line and then heard Geoff say, "Hey, stay away from my girl. You may have fooled everyone last season but this season, we all know about you. Your manipulative ways won't work on us this time." Geoff gave Alejandro a smirk, knowing he had struck a nerve.

He frowned when Alejandro said, "Oh please. You really think I would make the same mistake twice? Besides, I know what you've been up to the past few months. You sicken me." With that, Alejandro jumped out of the elevator.

Geoff looked at the zip line for a second and chuckled. "Alejandro sure knows what he's doing. Too bad he is getting kicked out early this season." At that, Geoff jumped onto the zip line and sailed down.

Confessional: Kick the can!

Alejandro: I learned from my mistakes. I have been quite of a … well, a jerk, to put it lightly. I am hoping to fix my mistakes with Courtney and Harold and all the others I have hurt in World Tour. Including Geoff, even if not all his actions are moral.

Gwen: I know Alejandro's evil, but man, he sure knows how to make a girl feel better. Maybe instead of being such a schemer he should be giving advice. I know I would like him better than now.

(Team Courtney)

"You know Courtney, it would have been easier to take the zip line," Val said, taking a big jump up the helocarrier.

"Well, I figured that since we're a team of three, we could climb faster. Besides, as a leader, it doesn't matter what you think," she said and took a giant leap, covering a few feet of ground.

"I guess that does make sense," Val said, although inside he was seething with pure anger. He glanced to the side of him and noticed Sadie climbing sadly up the giant plane. Val grinned evilly and then said, "What's the matter Sadie? Still sad that you were separated from Katie?" The BFFL sighed and nodded. Val grinned and said, "Well, on the bright side, if we get to the merge, then you can be with her again."

"I don't know Val, I don't think the team will keep me around for very long. Not when I am acting like this," she said and sighed.

Val gave an evil smirk and said, "Well, how about a deal? Vote with me for a while, and I'll be sure you get to merge. What do you say?"

Sadie pondered a moment and finally said, "Anything to get me back with Sadie. Thanks Val." Val grinned back. What Sadie didn't know was that Val's cuffs were searing hot red.

Confessional: Hot red tamales!

Sadie: That's nice of Val. He may be a demon, but he has a heart of a panda! Maybe he can get me and Katie on the same team! But I doubt that he can do that.

Vallowsmeir: If I weren't wearing these #$% restraining bolts, Sadie would have been ashes right now. I only need her vote, I am not getting her back together with her annoying best friend! If I could I would get rid of all these losers tonight! But no, I must stick to my plan.

Soon after, Courtney, Val, and Sadie reached the top of the helocarrier along withTeam Izzy. Waiting for them was Chris, grinning ear to ear,

"So what diabolic second part of the challenge do you have for us this time?" Val asked dryly.

"Glad you know a proper adjective for what I am. The challenge is to get over to the other helocarrier. You guys choose the longer way. I suggest you start trying to find a helicopter on this thing that works," Chris smirked. Team Izzy and Team Courtney groaned and ran off to look for a helicopter.

Confessional: Helium!

Vallowsmeir: If this goes according to plan, the first thing I'll do is incinerate that #$% host! I will admit that this does work to my advantage. I can sway more people to vote with me. I like how I think.

Jo: You have got to be kidding me! We climb that huge plane only to have to go back down?! Chris, if I win this, I will hire assassins to kill you!

Chris: Not likely, as I am in prison, and I'm not even hosting this season.

As Izzy and Jo ran off to look for a helicopter, Val walked up to Dakota and smiled. "Well hey there Dakota. How you been doing?" he asked, although inside he wished he could rip her insides out.

Dakota looked at Val with a depressed look and said, "To be honest, I'm not doing so well. I mean, I just reunited with Sam again, and then we were separated due to teams. And the fact that I'm on the villains team reminds me of what I was last season…" she said, rubbing her bracelet.

Val took quick noticed of this and asked, "What's with your bracelet? I have noticed you rub it when you're nervous. Any reason why?"

At this, Dakota squeaked. Val smirked, knowing he had gained knowledge for something useful in the near future. He then said, "Oh… I see. Well, if you need a confidence booster, come find me. I'm sure we could get you happy again in no time."

Dakota smiled. "Thanks Val. I owe you." Val gave her an evil grin, not that she noticed the evil part.

Confessional: No one notices the evil part.

Dakota: Val seems pretty nice. Maybe I'll repay him by voting with him the first time we lose. However, he did seem a little curious about my bracelet. (She looked worried and rubbed her bracelet. She took a deep breath and gave a weak smile.) I'm just being paranoid. Val is just a new contestant. He is just being curious.

Vallowsmeir: She will be fun to crush and destroy. That bracelet could help my plan in the future. I just need to know what point it has. Now all I lack is enough votes to take out who I need out tonight. How do I know we'll lose? All part of the plan.

(Heroic Hamsters)

(Team Harold, Owen, BMike, Dawn, B)

As most of the Heroic Hamster teams reached the bottom of the helocarrier, they all noticed a big tube like container. By the container was a T.V. image of Chris' face. "Hello contestants who decided to go the easy way," Chris said and smirk, "You guys get to sit back and relax through most of this challenge, which is to get to the other ship. If all the heroes here would get inside this tube, you will all be transported at once. Thank you, that is all."

At that, the T.V. shut off. Everyone whooped for an easy victory. "Yay! Now we don't have to run anymore. Thank goodness, I was about to die," Lindsey said and she walked into the tube.

Cameron walked inside and said, "Well, actually Lindsey, that wasn't as bad as most challenges last season. I mean, I had to fight Lightning. I won, but I still could have died."

At that point, Bridgette walked in and overheard what Cameron had said. She asked, "So, if you won last season, why exactly are you back for the trillion?"

"Well, I actually came back because of Mike. After his MPD disaster last season, he asked me to come this season to watch over him. And since we're best friends, I couldn't have just said no. Besides, I'm working alongside my favorite contestants before I came along. There is no other such opportunity!" Cameron answered.

Confessional: Friendship is Magic after all. *Hint* *Hint*

Bridgette: Cameron seems like a nice guy and all, but I don't have that itchy feeling I normally have with guys now a days. Mike on the other hand… no! He's Zoey's! But mmmm… maybe Vito want's a make out session?

Cameron: You know, coming back will be a great way in catching up with my friends from last season, like Dawn, Mike, and Zoey. It was a shame Dawn was voted out as early as she was. But now, since Scott isn't evil anymore, maybe she can get farther.

As Dawn entered the container, she noticed a hot pink aura inside the tube. She quickly scanned the tube but the aura quickly vanished. She shook her head like she had seen something weird.

"Hey Dawn, you doing ok?" Mike asked as he strolled up next to her.

For a split second, she thought she saw the aura appear again. She looked all around, trying to see who had it, but had no luck. "It's nothing Mike. I wouldn't worry," Dawn said as calm as she could.

Mike smiled at her. "Ok, if something's troubling you, just come talk to me. Or Zoey. She is good at calming people's nerves." After he was done speaking, he went and stood next to Team Owen. Dawn walked over and stood by B, pondering the strange aura.

Confessional: I have those when I'm getting a migraine!

Mike: Lately, Dawn has been acting a little weird. I mean, yeah, she acts weird all the time, but this is a different weird, something not like Dawn at all. But, if she wants to talk, she'll come see me or Zoey. I won't push anything on her.

Dawn: I sense that the hot pink aura was activated when Mike was around or mentioned. It couldn't have been Zoey, as she wasn't there. For those of you who don't know, hot pink is desire. Even if Zoey was there, why would she want Mike that bad?

As the last hero filed in, another video monitor turned on with Chris' face. He was grinning ear to ear. "You guys really haven't learned anything have you? I'm Chris McLean! You really didn't expect something danger inducing? Wow, I thought you guys would have known better," he said and pushed a button on a yellow remote control.

The tube rose a few feet, and it was soon revealed to be a rocket. All the heroes panicked and banged on the glass. Chris laughed and pushed another button. The engines started to heat and smoke.

Chris gave the contestants one final grin and said, "Well, I guess this is goodbye. I won't be seeing you for a while. Well, I will by video screen. But not the point. See you guys." With that said, Chris pushed a third button on the remote. The rockets fired and the tube shot up and all the contestants screamed.

(Team BZoey, Larry, Tyler)

Zoey and Larry burst out of the basement doors. Not far behind, Beth and Sam came out. Zoey ran toward the elevator while Beth and Sam dragged Tyler over toward the starting point.

After a minute of running, Zoey reached Larry's robot suit. She lifted the metal protection and through the head inside. Larry's suit turned on and the suit stood up. Larry used one of his arms to take off his translator and reattached it to his suit.

Larry grinned and said, "Thank you Zoey, much appreciated. Now, let us see if we can still win this challenge. I believe our best bet is if we locate where Sam and Beth went." Zoey nodded and both of them ran to find Team Tyler.

It wasn't too hard to find them. They were standing where the heroes team had started, talking to Chris. Zoey and Larry walked over to them. Chris turned and groaned. "Now you guys showed up after I had already explained? Find a helicopter, get over to the other ship, stamp your picture lined up on the counter, and meet the mystery guest in the mess hall. First team with all their members get a special reward. Losers vote someone off tonight. Now get out of here so I can watch T.V.!" he said and stormed off back inside the helocarrier.

Sam and Zoey looked at each other and shrugged. Larry coughed in his hand and said, "Well, at this point, I believe we should team up together. Sooner we find a helicopter, the bigger the chance we have of winning the challenge." Everyone (minus Tyler, as he was still unconscious) looked at Larry and nodded. They scattered, trying to find a functioning helicopter.

Confessional: Scatter brained!

Sam: You know, Larry is like some super video game guy. That is totally awesome! I'm glad he's on our team. I wonder if he has any super skills.

Larry: Ah, my suit has returned to me. How marvelous. Now I can function at maximum power. I think I am the most powerful contestant here, except maybe Mr. Coconut. That could be used against me when and if I get to the merge. But I believe the others won't vote me off due to the fact I'm stronger. But I would understand if they did. It is a trillion dollars cash after all. I will see where the cards fall as they fall.

Tyler: It sucks to be the jock and be the only contestant get knocked unconscious. At least I got to see Lindsey again. I guess that got me somewhere today.

(Villainous Vultures)

(Team Duncan and Geoff)

As Geoff reached the end of the zip line, all of the Villainous Vultures huddled in a group, looking for the next part of their challenge. To answer where to look, a small screen popped up out of the ground. On it was Chris. "Well, you finally got here via zip line. To complete your challenge, walk around the tall engine thing next to this screen and stamp your name at the registration desk. Then, enter the door to the right to go to the mess hall. First team completely assembled inside wins. I'll see you later. Right now I am missing one of my favorite movies!" Chris said and the T.V. screen shut off.

As Scott moved forward inside the Trauma Chair, he soon ran over Geoff's foot. The party guy howled in pain and glared at Scott. Geoff's anger softened. "Oh, sorry Scott. I didn't see you there."

Scott beeped red and started to role away. Geoff shrugged and walked off as well. What Geoff did not noticed was Scott's smirk, one that wasn't on his face previous.

Confessional: TWIST!

Scott: (The Trauma Chair opens up, revealing Scott's body in perfect condition. Scott's dead look on his face is replaced with a smirk.) Like it? After getting an invite for this season, I fixed my Trauma Chair to hide the fact I was well. Only one person knows that I am well. I am black mailing her, so she won't be a problem. I can cause all the chaos I want and get away with it!

Geoff: I understand Scott's condition. I won't judge him for what he did last season. After all, I've done some not so socially acceptable things the last few years either.

As both teams of Villainous Vultures walked toward the registration stamps, Duncan walked up and hugged Gwen from behind. Gwen let out a startled shriek and turned around. When she noticed it was Duncan, she sighed in relief and gave her boyfriend a huge hug.

"Oh Duncan! You won't believe how bad today sucked! What could be worse is if one of us got booted today. Oh great, I probably jinxed it now," she groaned as she returned Duncan's hug.

Duncan just smiled and said, "Hey, its fine. After we win the challenge and we're assigned bunking arrangements, I'll be sure to sneak over to your cabin. Then you can tell me whose ass I'm kicking."

Gwen smiled and nodded into Duncan's chest. "I like the sound of that. Thanks Duncan. You're the best boyfriend ever."

After their little romantic moment, both of them walked toward registration. What neither of them knew was that a certain guitar player was watching them.

Confessional: For those of you sickos out there, the author does not do M or anything related to M at all.

Duncan: You know, acting like a good guy isn't so bad. I mean, yea, I still like being bad, but Gwen is going through a bad time on the show right now. I can't be bad, not to her. And I kind of like being this good boyfriend. Not that anyone will know.

Trent: To be completely honest, I'm over Gwen. I'm actually happy for her and Duncan. But if I pretend I'm still upset and avoid her, I'm sure no drama will come my way. I'm aware that sounds kind of selfish, but I'm sick of all the drama. I just want to be left alone, ya know?

Gwen: This is why I love Duncan. He may act tough and a bad guy, but when it comes to me, he is soft and sweet. I'm still very sorry for stealing him from Courtney. If there were a way to patch things up with her but still keep Duncan, I would. But I doubt that would happen. Why do I have to suffer when Heather has done much worse than me? You know, if we lose, I'll vote for Heather, just to prove my point.

As all the Villainous Vultures reached the registration counter, they noticed it was a bit like a restaurant, only it had thirty-six video screens on the back wall, all of which were blank.

Since they got there first, Zeke picked up a stamp on the counter and stamped his and Scott's pictures laying on the counter top. Both video screens turned on, reveling both Zeke and Scott. After Zeke jumped off the counter, Justin stamped his photo and stepped to the side.

After Gwen and Duncan stamped there photos, Lightning jogged up and stamped his. Trent and Geoff were right behind Lightning and they both stamped their individual photos. This left Alejandro and Heather.

"Well Heather, ladies first," Alejandro said, gesturing to the photos.

"No way am I falling for your tricks this season, Al. You stamp your photo first," Heather said to the former schemer. Alejandro shrugged and stamped his photo, revealing his picture on one of the screens. Heather quickly stamped her photo afterwards and huffed at Al. He rolled his eyes and both went to stand with their individual groups.

Confessional: Believe it or not, that part was really important.

Heather: Ugh, Alejandro is up to his old tricks again I see. Well, after he disappeared last season, I've been destroying his reputation one website at a time. I never cared for Al, that was all an act. Looks like he fell victim to… me. (Heather laughs evilly.)

Alejandro: (Enters the Confessional with a somewhat depressed look on his face.) I just heard what Heather said in her Confessional. You know, maybe she has the right idea. I never had anything to begin with. Now? I'm just some washed up idiot looking for redemption. (He sighs.) I know I'm wanting redemption, but I don't think I have a shot at getting it from Heather. Maybe voting her off would help me gain peace?

After the cards were stamped, Justin walked over and tried to open a green door to the right of the counter. The door wouldn't budge an inch. Justin tried again with no more luck. Soon, everyone was trying to pull open the door.

Finally, after about fifteen minutes of trying, all of the villains in the area heard a noise. It was a hissing noise, like a fire was nearby. They all turned to find a giant tube headed straight toward the helo-pad. It crash landed not too far away from the counter. Out of it spilled most of the Heroic Hamsters.

As most of the Hamsters situated themselves in standing up, Harold managed to be the first one to get a grip and walked over to the counter. Noticing the stamps, he quickly stamped all of his roommate's pictures, causing all their video screens to turn on.

Soon after, Mike walked over and stamped his, B's, and Dawn's pictures. He quickly walked over to Dawn and B when he heard someone way, "Hey, where's your girlfriend?"

He turned around to find it was Bridgette who had asked. He grinned and said, "Well, Larry left his suit behind, so we had to split up. I'm sure she'll be here any minute now."

"Okay, just wondering. We don't want to loose on the first day, now do we," she said and gave Mike a grin. She continued, "Well, I better stamp my picture. Nice talking to you Mike." With that, she left Mike, who was very confused.

Confessional: That is the girl's reason of life, to confuse us dudes. Or, in my case, confessionals.

Bridgette: I should have gone farther. Maybe he'd want to make out right then? No, who am I kidding! He's too loyal! But… he sooooooo hot…

Mike: Bridgette seemed nice and all, but it was kind of weird she asked me about Zoey. I mean, I may be clueless when it comes to girls, but I think Bridgette may like me. Well, if she does, I'll have to turn her down. I belong only to one person, and that's my favorite red head fashion designer. (After saying that, Mike gave a romantic sigh.) I am the luckiest guy I know to have such a perfect girl.

(Villainous Vultures: Team Izzy and Courtney)

As everyone else searched for a working helicopter, Courtney walked up to Noah, who was sitting alone reading. When he noticed her coming, he groaned and said, "Oh joy, you going to use your CIT knowledge to lecture me into helping?"

Courtney rolled her eyes and said, "No, actually. I was wondering if you could help me vote off Gwen tonight. I know you don't owe me, but since your sort of a neutral person, I thought ask you."

Noah pondered a moment then said, "Who's voting with you? Two votes isn't going to be enough. If you really want her gone, you'll need at the least eleven votes. And that's not even counting everyone else voting for someone else either."

"I did the math. I think we'll have enough. Val said he would try rounding people up. I just thought I ask you before anyone else did," Courtney said.

Noah sighed and said, "Fine, I'll vote Gwen if we lose. But then you owe me." Courtney grinned and walked off. Noah rolled his eyes and said, "No thank you. Well, not like I'm doing it because I want to."

Confessional: I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want! A cheeseburger!

Noah: I find Courtney very annoying. Actually, I find everyone on this show annoying. I don't even want to be here. Chris had a bunch of ninjas come and kidnap me. I don't know why, I have kept a low profile the two seasons I was in. Oh well. (Noah picks up his book and starts to read.)

Izzy was inside a red helicopter messing around with a bunch of wires. She accidently shocked herself and she cursed. Val heard the curse and walked over. He looked inside and noticed Izzy sitting inside. He grinned.

"Hey Izzy, trying to hot wire one of the helicopters?" Val asked, while inside he was laughing at her pain.

Izzy sighed and answered, "Yes. Sadly, I'm losing my touch at crazy things like this. You need something?"

Val gave Izzy an evil grin and hopped into the helicopter. He picked up both wires and fiddled with them. After a minute of fiddling, both Villains heard someone yell from outside. While Izzy's head was turned, Val looked at his hand. Small sparks came out of them. He touched the wires and then engine started.

Izzy turned back around at looked at Val in awe. "How did you… Never mind, that's awesome! Thank you so much for helping me! I know I'm not the most reliable girl, but if you need anything, let me know!"

Val gave her a smirk and said, "Actually Izzy, if you don't mind, I would like you to vote Gwen first time we lose. I lost a bet with Courtney, and it would help if you voted with us."

Izzy gave Val a look, debating it. "Well… okay, if that's what you want from me. Why don't you get your team and I'll give you guys a ride over to the other helocarrier? You started the engine, it's the least I can do."

Val gave Izzy a nod and exited the helicopter. After he left, Izzy put on a pondering face. "What's Operation Burning Puppet?" she asked herself.

Confessional: Burn puppet burn!

Vallowsmeir: These humans are #$%! This is way too easy! I already have four people doing me bidding and Courtney is trying to convince Noah to vote with us. I rather not Gwen though, my plan would work better if Gwen stays longer, but the only way for this alliance to go down us to vote Gwen. Stupid #$%!

Izzy: Ok, this'll sound really weird… but my family originates from people with psychic abilities. My uncle can get glimpses of the future and his fiancé has something she calls her 'Pinkie Sense'. I sort of have one too, but it works in a strange way. I can smell brain waves. Yeah, weird, I know. But I smelled one from Val the said Operation Burning Puppet. I'll have to ask him what that is.

(Heroic Hamsters: Teams BZoey and Larry and Tyler)

All the Heroes ran around the deck, trying to find a functioning helicopter. As they looked, Tyler woke up, glancing around to figure out where he was. Once he registered where he was, he got up and started to walk over to find Sam and Beth, when he ran into Zoey. He raised an eyebrow and Zoey grinned.

"Hey Tyler, glad to see your awake. We're looking for a helicopter that works. Sam and Larry are looking over on the west end, Beth on the north. I just finished south so you can check the east with me," she said.

"Ok, sounds good to me. You know, since I'm the jock, maybe I can run around and check all of them and you can wait here," Tyler offered.

Zoey laughed and said, "Thanks for the offer Tyler, but I'm pretty fast too. I did get to the final three last season, after all. I'll take the right side, you take the left." Zoey started walking off to the east side helicopters. Tyler chuckled and followed her.

Confessional: The author thinks the winner should be me every season since I am in every single episode of every season!

Tyler: Zoey's pretty cool. She lasted longer than I have in both seasons I've been in put together. I'm sure we will get along perfectly.

Zoey: Tyler needs to work on his jock skills. I don't really like jocks, but Tyler is different than the Jock stereo type. But I'm sure with a little work, he'll improve a lot.

In the west end, Sam and Larry were both scanning for a functioning helicopter. As Sam hoped into one, Larry cleared his throat. "Excuse me Sam, I hate to interrupt you from your thoughts, but I thought I bring up a concern."

Sam peeked out of his helicopter to look at Larry. "What do you mean? This helicopter isn't going to explode is it?" Sam asked.

Larry laughed and said, "Oh no, of course not. I just thought I warn you that if we lose, you might be a target. You are, after all, one of the weakest players. I will not vote for you unless you are the cause of making us loose. I just thought I let you know so you aren't too bummed."

Sam gave Larry a wide grin. "Don't sweat it Larry. I only came back to get Dakota's attention. And that worked. So you can vote me out whenever you see the need. But if you could, keep me in the game as long as you can. I would appreciate it."

Larry gave the game guy a nod and jumped into another helicopter. He noticed the keys in the ignition and turned them. The helicopter turned on and the propellers started to wer. "Perfect," Larry said and poked his head out to Sam. "Go find the others. I'll bring you all over inside this one." Sam gave a nod and walked off to find the other Heroes.

Confessional: This challenge is going to be close!

Larry: I have no intention of scarring Sam. I just thought I warn him. He lasted longer than he was supposed to last season, and that was because of Scott. But since this is an all Heroes team, no one may see him as a keeper. Then again, this is an all Heroes team, meaning every vote off will be hard. Oh well. I'll stick to my word and vote for the person who costs us the challenge. Only question is, who do I vote if I cost the challenge? I rather not let it come to that.

Sam: I know Larry meant well. It's pretty hard competing with people you don't know. But I'm sure most of the team will keep him, he seems pretty nice, even if he is just a head.

On the other helo-pad, the rest of the contestants sat waiting for the rest of the team mates to arrive. They had soon figured out that the door was locked until the last of the contestants had arrived.

As they sat there waiting, Cameron walked up to Mike. "Hey Mike, I thought maybe I should ask how your MPD has been doing. You haven't swapped since last season, so I thought I ask."

Mike gave Cameron a smile and said, "Well, it's better now. I give everyone some time to unwind. I should be in control most of the time unless a hat randomly falls on my head or I get frustrated. Oh, and there is one other thing I thought I ask."

Cameron was about to ask what when the sound of a helicopter came into hearing range. Cameron then said, "We'll have to talk about it later. I'm glad to hear it's mostly figured out. If you need me, I'll help in any way I can."

Mike gave Cameron an appreciative nod. Cameron then turned and rolled back over to Team Harold.

Confessional: I wonder what Mike wanted to ask.

Cameron: I'm glad Mike has most of his disorder solved. Having a mental disorder must be tough. I wouldn't know, but sometimes, you have to wonder how hard it must be.

Mike: I may have solved things with my other personalities, but I still talk in my sleep. Well, not me, but the others. They say it's the only time they have to talk alone amongst each other. I am ok with it and all, but since we are coed this season and I'll be sleeping in the same room as Zoey, I don't want to bother her with their talking. Maybe Cameron can figure out how they can talk, but make sure it doesn't bother anyone.

(Villainous Vultures: Teams Izzy and Courtney)

Izzy was driving the helicopter with Courtney in the co-pilot seat. Val was sitting in the very back, along with Noah and Sadie. Dakota sat on the floor in the middle and Jo and Mr. Coconut were up near the front talking to Izzy and Courtney.

"You sure you know how to drive this thing? Cause if you don't I rather take over now instead of when we are in the middle of a crash landing," Jo said to Izzy.

Izzy just laughed and said, "Oh please, I have flown dozens of helicopters before back when I was running from the RCMP. I can drive this thing with my eyes closed." To prove her point, Izzy quickly shut her eyes.

She did well for about five seconds when suddenly they hit turbulence. The helicopter spun out of control, sending Mr. Coconut and Jo tumbling into Val. Courtney pulled some lever and knobs, trying to pull the plane up.

Izzy just laughed and said, "Am I doing good?" To answer her question, Courtney quickly grabbed the wheel and turned. The helicopter turned back the way it should.

Izzy frowned and opened her eyes. "Hey, I told you I could do it. Why did you stop me?" Izzy didn't get an answer as they suddenly crashed into a large tower on the other helo-pad. The helicopter fell down and landed precisely thirty meters from the counter.

Everyone carefully climbed out of the damaged helicopter. Jo, Courtney, and Mr. Coconut glared at Izzy and ran to stamp their pictures. Izzy sighed. Then she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Dakota smiling at her.

"Hey, it's alright Izzy. Some people don't except you because you're different. That's ok. The only one that matters is you. Now come on and let's stamp our pictures," she said. Izzy gave Dakota a small smile and started walking toward the counter, Dakota not far behind her.

Confessional: Classic Izzy.

Dakota: It feels nice to help someone. Too bad I didn't realize that last season. Well, that's in the past. Now I just need to get to the merge so I can be with Sam.

Vallowsmeir: I watched Izzy and Dakota from a distance. I was not planning for them getting close. But due to the quick calculations I made, it won't be a problem. If only I knew what Dakota's secret was with her bracelet. Then I could use it for blackmail, or even against her without her knowledge. But I do not need that information now. So far, the plan is working perfectly.

(Heroic Hamsters: Teams BZoey and Larry and Tyler)

Inside the helicopter of the Heroic Hamsters, Sam and Beth were sitting in the back seats. Larry was standing next to the pilot's seat, which contained Zoey. Tyler was in the co-pilots seat next to her.

"Hey Zoey, we almost there?" Sam asked from the back seat, "Because I would like to see Dakota again before the vote off. You know, just in case we lose and I get voted out."

Zoey turned around and gave Sam a sympathetic look. "Hey, don't worry Sam. If it makes you feel better, I won't vote for you," she said to him.

"Yeah Sam, me neither. You may lack physical capabilities, but video games are just as fun as sports," Tyler said.

"I will vote out the person who loses the challenge, whether that be you, or someone else. It will how I work all season. Sorry, but that is the best way to take out opponents, whether I like them or not," Larry said apologetically.

"Aw, thanks guys. And don't worry Larry, I'm sure a lot of people use that strategy. If I cause the loss of the team then I'm okay if you vote me out. No hard feelings in the end, right?" Sam asked the head.

Larry nodded. The helicopter shook a little, sending Larry off balance. He quickly managed to straighten himself. Zoey then said, "Hey guys, I'm starting to land. You may want to brace yourselves." Everyone nodded up to Zoey as she started flipping buttons and starting the decent.

Confessional: Don't you dare push my buttons!

Larry: I think I am pushing my strategy on Sam way too much. I guess I'm just telling him not to blow the challenge. I understand mistakes, I am a very forgiving head. But if we lose, it's the best way from hurting someone else. It's the only way I see that's fair.

Beth: I listened to the whole conversation. I rather vote Sam out. I mean, he really slowed us down. Tyler did too, but I guess I can let it slide because he was unconscious. Sam has no excuse since he's slow. As for Larry's strategy, it may back fire if he is the cause of our downfall. If so, I'm voting him off. Who needs a head when you have a complete body?

As soon as Zoey had landed and everyone had exited the helicopter, they soon noticed the remaining Villainous Vultures running toward the counter. Zoey, Tyler, and Beth ran for it, Sam and Larry close behind.

It was noticed from the hero's point of view that Izzy and Dakota had stamped their pictures. Zoey got an extra boost and managed to activate her video screen. Right behind her, Jo stamped her picture, lighting up her screen.

After a half a minute later, Beth got to the counter next and stamped her picture. Sadie and Courtney managed to get there next and stamped their pictures. Tyler zoomed forward in one last stride and stamped his photo, leaving two contestants left for each team.

Sam managed to summon every single last bit of energy he had left and stamped his picture at the exact same time, leaving both new contestants to race to the win.

Larry was quite a ways away still. Val then darted from around the corner, headed straight to his picture. Larry summoned all the power from his suit and ran as fast as he could to try and beat Val. It was soon proved impossible as Val reached the counter and picked up a stamper while Larry was still a school bus away.

Larry, knowing it was impossible, stopped running and quickly started pushing buttons on his arm. As Val started to lower his stamper, Larry's arm suddenly produced a stamp of its own. He then gave a quick jerk of the head forward, bringing down a red screen over his protective metal one. After taking exactly one second to aim, he threw the stamp toward the counter. Val, being closer, was exactly two inches above his picture. He was lowering quite slowly, since he knew Larry was quite a ways away.

When Val heard something sail toward him, Val quickly quickened his pace. Both stampers were getting close to their marks. Then, the first stamper to hit the picture was…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

Larry's. The head's picture turned on exactly 0.00000000001 seconds before Val's did. The heroes cheered for Larry while all the villains and glared at Val. Val acted angry by smashing his stamper onto the counter with brute strength, basically destroying it. But, inside, Val was giving off a very wicked smile.

Confessional: Beat him by a hair!

Sam: Yes! I don't have to worry about elimination. It's a good thing Larry pulled through with that last minute save. I know I most likely would have been safe, but it's good to feel relieved. Now all I have to worry about is Dakota getting voted off. But she did ok, so I expect her to be ok.

Vallowsmeir: All is according to plan.

Larry: To be completely honest, I now feel really guilty for pestering Sam. I almost lost the challenge. I must have forgotten to shut off my suit when I left it. I must have drained my power before I even used it. The good thing is that I won.

After all the excitement ended, the door finally clicked unlocked. The Villains walked in first, the Heroes happily followed behind. When the emerged from the small hallway, they were greeted with the mess hall. The bottom part of the wall was painted green while the top half was white. On one side of the cafeteria were a bunch of windows. On the farthest side there was a heavy metal door, with a seven lock bolt. On the other was the all you could eat salad bar with the kitchen right behind it. Upon seeing the salad bar, Owen quickly ran over to it drooling.

The other contestants shrugged and walked inside. Seeing that no one was here yet, they decided they would eat up. As Zeke walked over with his tray to get his food, Val walked up to him with a big devilish grin. "Hey Zeke, I just thought I let you know we're voting for Gwen tonight," Val said to him. Zeke gave Val a nod as if he understood. What Val didn't realize is that Duncan heard him.

Confessional: The walls have ears!

Duncan: Why Gwen? I mean, what did she ever do to Val? He's new, for crying out loud! You want to make a strategic move? Vote Heather! Or Alejandro! They are the biggest threats in the game! I'll let Gwen know, maybe we can scrape enough votes to boot out Heather or Alejandro to prove my point.

Vallowsmeir: I believe Duncan overheard what I said to Zeke. This is good. It wasn't in my plan, but maybe I can keep Gwen in the game longer after all.

Trent had stocked his tray up with food and was walking down to sit with Justin when he noticed Jo wave him over. Having no idea why, he walked up and sat down with her. After sitting down, he noticed Mr. Coconut sitting across the table.

Trent gulped and then asked, "Hey guys, any reason why you waved me over?"

Jo gave out a laugh. Mr. Coconut however got straight to the point and said, "We were planning to vote out Lightning tonight. We would like another vote to help it along."

Jo gave Mr. Coconut a glare then said, "What Mr. Coconut means is that Lightning is the biggest physical threat in the game. We figured if we can take him out early on, the better off we'll be when the merge comes. We need more than just two votes, so we were wondering if you would join us."

Trent just looked at them for a minute and laughed. "You guys only competed one season, so that explains it. You see, most people here take out the most devious player. Since we're all villains, it adds up to vote out the most evil villain. Which, by the way, is either Heather or Alejandro. So, in all honesty, I'm voting for Alejandro tonight. Sorry, but that's just how I play the game." With that, Trent picked up his tray and left.

"You know, Trent has a point. Why don't we take out a smarter contestant, like Noah? Or perhaps a social threat like Gwen? Or maybe even eye candy, such as Justin? Why take a stronger opponent out early in the game? Maybe it would be best if we took out the schemers first, then right before the merge cut Lightning," Mr. Coconut suggested.

Jo thought this over a moment and nodded her head. "I can actually see your logic in that. How about Scott? He is crippled, therefore, of least use. It'll keep Lightning in for a few more rounds, but it will dispose of a weakness," Jo offered.

Mr. Coconut pondered and nodded slowly. "Yes, I do believe that will be positive on our alliance. I'll try to convince Trent again, you see if you can round up some others to vote Scott." With that being said, both alliance members got up from the table and went to find voters.

Confessional: I find strategy boring.

Mr. Coconut: Logic dictates that by voting Scott, Dawn may go bonkers. If this happens, I will be sure to use it at the merge.

Trent: Mr. Coconut came up to me again and suggested Scott. I don't know the guy, only that he is in the trauma chair. He is a weak player, despite finishing pretty early in the challenge. I'll go along this time, even though voting Alejandro would be a better option.

Over at the buffet table, Owen was pigging out straight off it. DJ and Dawn both gave it a look of disgust. "I love food and all, but Owen sure can make me lose my appetite pretty fast," DJ said to Dawn.

"I do agree, but it is mostly the meat that I find disgusting. I'm vegetarian you see, so I don't like seeing other people eat meat," she said to DJ. He nodded his understanding and went back to grimacing at Owen and the food. Dawn gave him a small giggle and went to sit over with the rest of Team B.

"That one was a close one guys. I would like to humbly apologize for almost losing the challenge. If we hadn't got back to get my suit, that most likely would have not been so close," Larry said apologetically.

"Hey, don't sweat it Larry. We all have close ones here and there," Mike said to the head, "Besides, I wouldn't have voted for you anyway. You four are most likely the best friends I have, except Cameron, who is above all the best friend I have. I wouldn't want any of you gone."

"I agree. Everyone on this team is nice. It'll make vote offs hard," Zoey said with a little worry. B gave Zoey a smile and a thumbs up. Zoey returned it.

As the five talked, a certain blonde walked up to them. B noticed first and coughed into his hand, nodding toward the person behind them. Mike, Zoey, and Dawn turned to find Bridgette behind them wearing a smile.

"Hey guys, just wanted to come back and meet the two I haven't before," Bridgette said with a smile.

"Oh yeah. Bridgette, this is my girlfriend Zoey. The head over there is Larry," Mike said to the blonde surfer chick.

"How nice to meet you," she said, her tone deflating slightly. "I'm sure you must be lucky to have Mike as your boyfriend. I watched last season and I absolutely adored you two."

"Oh, well, thanks. I am pretty lucky to have him. But I'm sure that your pretty lucky to have Geoff, he seems pretty nice," Zoey said with a smile.

Bridgette gave Zoey a grin and said, "Yes, he is. He's really nice. Well, I have to go. Maybe I'll see you guys around. It'll be nice to swap experiences on this show."

As she left, everyone waved good-bye to her. Everyone that is, except Dawn, who had a very confused look on her face.

Confessional: I would have that kind of face when I look at spicy food if I had a face.

Zoey: Bridgette seems really nice. It's kind of nice to see someone give recognition to a newbie like me. And she thought me and Mike are cute together! It just proves that we are meant for each other.

Dawn: (Still has a confused look.) It was Bridgette's aura I saw earlier. This time I managed to get a good look. She's confused about love and feelings she has. Hopefully she doesn't think she can just waltz in and take Mike from Zoey.

After everyone had eaten, they sat waiting and talking amongst themselves. Suddenly, the door of the back of the kitchen opened. They all turned to find Chef Hatchet walk toward them. He wore his usual scowl. He was holding a cleaver, which made most of the contestants unnerved.

He then spoke, "As you know, Chris has been arrested for putting the season four contestants to compete on an island full of toxic waste. As a result, we have been looking for a brand new host. Well, we found one off the coast of Florida. He agreed to the terms, but he only accepted if his fiancé could be hostess. Since we needed a host we accepted. So, without further ado, here is our new host."

The seven bolt lock door suddenly unlocked. All the contestants glanced worriedly at the door as the knob turned downwards. Lindsey bit her nails as the door creaked open. And when the host stepped out, everyone gasped.

The host was about five feet and nine inches tall and had a skinny body shape. He wore a very huge grin. He also looked to be in his early twenties.

He had purple hair and deep blue eyes. He was wearing a purple button up shirt, purple pants, pink suspenders, a pink bow-tie, purple socks, and purple shoes. His skin was a light shade of purple. He had a ring on his index finger on his right hand with a purple gem on it.

Before anyone else could say anything, two particular girls yelled, "Uncle Lewis?!"

Confessional: Host reveal!

Izzy: No way…

Dawn: I know that Lewis is Chris' nephew, but…

Vallowsmeir: Perfect. Lewis is a well-known demon hunter, amongst other things he's known to do. I doubt he knows of me personally, so he won't connect me to past deeds I've done. I can easily get what I need. In time, of course.

Everyone gaped at either the host or one of the two girls. The new host laughed and said, "Well, good to see my fav nieces. As to the rest of you, welcome. I am sure you guys are glad that my uncle is no longer hosting. I am glad to be able to host you guys this season. And I humbly welcome you to my ship, The Death Wing."

"Is this even legal?" Heather asked, "You're related to the host and two contestants claim to be your nieces. Doesn't that show favoritism?"

Lewis scowled at Heather and said, "To be honest, it is. But, as Chris has disowned me as family, and, believe it or not, Dawn isn't technically my niece anymore. Er… sorry for mentioning that. But, point being, I contacted the producers and they said it was fine as long as they see know favoritism form me or Pinkie, my fiancé and hostess."

As if she were waiting to be mentioned, a pink haired girl came bouncing out of the kitchen. She was a tanned girl with big blue eyes. She was wearing a white top with blue sleeves, a purple color and a pink heart in the middle. She was wearing a purple belt. She wore a lavender dress with three balloons, two blue and one yellow, patterned into it. She also wore a small blue bracelet on her right hand.

She bounced up the host and planted a kiss on his cheek. Lewis smiled lovingly. A lot of people made disgusted faces while others 'awed'. The pink haired girl then said, "Well, I better get back to making the celebratory pie! Oh, and beware the scarecrows!" With that, she quickly bounced happily off.

Lewis straightened himself and grinned. "Well, as most of you may have guessed, that was the hostess and my fiancé Pinkie Diane Pie."

"Hey! I thought we agreed not to say my middle name!" came Pinkie's voice from the kitchen. Lewis chuckled.

"Anyway, before I was so very rudely interrupted by Heather, I was about to explain how the rest of your day is going to work out. If you would all please file out of the mess hall through the kitchen, we will begin our tour."

Everyone started to file out. Soon, only Dawn was left. Lewis quickly caught sight of this. Since everyone else had left, he gave Dawn a grin. "I think this is the moment where you give your uncle a hug," Lewis said to her. Dawn burst into tears and ran up and gave her uncle a very tight squeeze.

Confessional: Yep, the most beloved contestant ever is actually the author's niece.

Dawn: I can't believe it. I thought all season I would have to deal with Scott alone. But Lewis… somehow… remarkably… is now the new host. This is probably the best thing that has happened to me all year!

Lewis: Hello viewers at home. So you know, I was picked as host since the show is in Chris' family name. Since I'm his only heir within calling distance, I automatically got the job. So I am here for an entire season with two of my favorite people ever competing! I love this show.

Pinkie: Ahem, since this is Confessional and he can break the forth wall too, I thought I mention something. Due to this being an update, the author would like you all to know that the Ben in this story has been changed to Lewis. It'll be less confusing for when I actually talk about the author. Thought I warn you.

After a moment a crying, Dawn calmed down and started walking with her uncle toward the kitchen. As they walked, Lewis asked, "So, just to check, are you doing alright? Your health is fine, no problems?"

"I'm fine Lewis," Dawn said, glancing around just in case anyone heard. "There haven't been any problems since last time. Me and you-know-who are just fine."

Lewis nodded, still looking slightly concerned. But he dropped it and both he and Dawn walked to catch up to the other contestants. Once they caught up, Dawn went back to Zoey and her other bunk members and Lewis went to the front of the group. The hallway they were in looked very clean. The walls were shining white and had a gold streak down the middle. Along the hallway there were doors, each labeled differently.

"This is the Gold Hall," Lewis explained, "The winning team gets to be up here. It has several rooms, each one having some fun activity. For instance, we have a game room built specifically for Sam, we have a track for the more physical contestants, a spa for most of the girls, a library for mostly Noah, a pool, a basketball court, and with our latest technology, I installed a holodeck. You can explore its different functions as we go throughout the competition. However, be warned The Death Wing is temporary, some nights we'll be on the ground. I'll explain the cabin system when we get there though."

Owen raised his hand and Lewis pointed at him. Owen then asked, "Is there a snack room? Only it's that I get rather hungry at night."

Lewis sighed and gave Owen a smile. "Yes Owen, we even a snack bar, which is installed with replicators I managed to buy from some people from the future. You can program in basically anything you want and it'll replicate it. Knock yourself out in trying everything."

Owen opened his mouth and drooled a little. Everyone gave Owen a disgusted look, but then focused their attention back on Lewis.

"There are four rooms on this floor specifically made for bedrooms. As Chris said before, this will be co-ed this season. However, I hoped to have paired you guys with people you wouldn't mind sleeping with. Sorry if the pairing make you uncomfortable, but I couldn't really do anything about that. Now, if you would follow me farther down the hallway, I'll show you section two of the tour," Lewis said and continued down the long hallway.

Confessional: That is some very nice looking quarters. And just my luck, there are four of them! I get a dollar!

Owen: Sweet! All you can eat buffet whenever you want! I am defiantly going to be in the snack room all night.

Mr. Coconut: I have scanned the new host. He seems to have a good spirited heart and not as cruel as Chris. I do have to wonder about the living conditions for the losers though.

Larry: I wonder if Lewis installed a personalized battery designed specifically for my suit. If so, I can recharge my suit the old fashioned way.

Soon, the contestants came to a flight of stairs. Lewis walked down the stairs, all of the contestants soon following behind. When they got to the next floor, they noticed it was a bit different. Instead of one long hallway with lots of doors, it was a short hallway with exactly four doors, two on either side. The hall was painted a sky blue color with a silver streak running down the middle.

"This is the Silver Hall. It is not as nice as the Gold Hall, but the bedrooms are the exact same. I was even nice enough to give you electricity and internet access in this hallway. The loosing team will sleep here," Lewis explained.

Larry raised his hand and Lewis nodded for him to speak. "I hate to be a bother, but does one of these rooms have a large plug in for me to power my suit?"

Lewis gave Larry a grin and said, "Actually, yes. The Gold and Silver Halls both have a room specifically for Larry and Mr. Coconut. Now, let's continue downward, we still have three more stories to go."

Lewis went to the back of the pack, which soon became the front, and started walked down. For a minute, Harold seemed to ponder something. "Something on your mind Harold," Izzy asked him, holding back for the others to pass.

"Yeah. It's just that… Lewis said that there were three stories left correct?" Harold asked Izzy.

Izzy pondered a moment then gave a slow nod. "Yeah, he did. But if he already covered the winning and losing team, then why are their three stories?"

Harold shook his head. "I am at a loss. Oh well, better to keep walking and find out then just sit here and think about it." With that Harold started walking a little faster. Izzy shrugged and followed after him.

Confessional: What comes after Silver?

Izzy: People always have trouble with people who interact wit the opposing team. I see no issue with it. So if I want to talk to someone on the other side, by cheese I'll do it!

Harold: I did some calculations and I realized two possibilities for what is on the other three stories. Since there is a Gold and Silver Hall, the next one may be a Bronze Hall, though its purpose is unclear to me. Then, possibly the bottom one is the elimination room. But what could the other one be?

When the contestants reached the third basement level, they immediately felt hot. And it was reasonable since the hallway was painted a fiery color and it glowed in heat as if it were burning. Black roots were clumped together all around the hallway. There was a bronze streak across the middle of the hall. And there were two doors down it.

"This hallway was actually Chris' idea. This was one of the few I actually liked so I threw it in. And since it goes along with this hall, I'll announce the results from the challenge," Lewis said to the contestants.

Noah rolled his eyes and said, "We already know who won. We have to vote someone out tonight. Can we move on?"

Lewis sighed, but nodded. "Noah is correct, the Heroic Hamsters won and the Villainous Vultures won. BUT there are two twists this season. I'll explain the least shocking first. You all noticed the two doors at the back of the hall right?" All of the contestants nodded. "Well, this season, the team of bunk mates that finish the challenge last or the weakest on both teams will send them down to the Bronze Hall. So, today, for the Heroic Hamsters Team B will be sleeping here tonight, and for the Villainous Vultures Team Courtney. Any questions before we move on?"

Courtney raised her hand but Lewis quickly answered, "No Courtney you can't switch who sleeps where, no matter how important you are to the team. Any relevant question?" No one else raised their hand and Lewis nodded with a small grin.

Confessional: If there is silver and gold, how about bronze?

Larry: Now I feel like I failed. Not only did I almost blow it for my team, but now my bunk mates will now have to suffer with bad sleep. I do hope they can forgive me.

Courtney: Great. Thanks to Val, not only did we lose, but now we have to sleep in heat central. He's lucky he got everyone to vote for Gwen tonight.

"Now for the second half of news. To be fair, after every challenge, the bunk team that finishes the challenge on the loosing team first gets automatic immunity. Which means Team Geoff gets it, making Trent, Gwen, Justin, Alejandro, and Geoff are immune tonight. Oh, and also, since we are already going down there, quickly decide who you want to vote for. I'll allow you five minutes to discuss with your teammates then we will go down to the next hall." Lewis said and took a seat on some of the roots.

Courtney immediately walked up to Val and kicked him. Inside, Val wanted to do some really nasty things to her, including some things from the famous story known as Cupcakes. But on the outside, Val gave a small pout and asked, "What was that for?"

"That was for making us stay here on this rotten floor and losing the challenge! Plus, Gwen is immune! Give me one good reason I shouldn't vote for you!" she said, balling up her fists.

Val wanted to give her several, including removing her spine by pulling it out her throat. But he said instead, "Well, why not Heather? After all, she is no better than Gwen. Gwen may be the new Heather, but Heather is still old Heather. Why not vote her out?"

Courtney sighed for a moment then said, "Well… okay. But we better vote Gwen off soon! I can't bear to think about her anymore, let alone look at her."

Val gave a nod and said, "Well, why don't you tell the others who were voting Gwen to vote Heather. I'll see if I can find more people to vote with us." Courtney nodded and went off to find the others.

Confessional: Cupcakes is the only M rated story the author has read.

Vallowsmeir: So Gwen managed to survive. It helps my plan along. Too bad the backup person I wanted to vote for was immune too. Well, at least voting Heather will cripple him.

Team Duncan was talking about who to vote off, and Heather was suggesting almost everyone in the group but herself.

"I say we vote out Zeke or Scott. Both creep me out and Scott is completely useless," she said glaring at Scott. Scott gave her a red beep, which made her roll her eyes.

Duncan thought a moment and then realized something. "Wait a second. Wasn't the last one to stamp the picture you? And wasn't it because you didn't want to do anything before Alejandro, who was the last person to stamp his on Team Geoff?"

Heather gave Duncan a look as if to say he were pathetic. "Of course I did. I do not trust Alejandro. I mean, what if he made a fool out of me?"

"It was stamping a picture Heather! He couldn't possibly made a fool out of you! You know what? I say we vote you off. What do you say guys?"

Lightning said, "Sha-yeah! Heather was Sha-dumb!" Scott beeped his green light and Zeke gave out a growl.

"Well then, problem solved," Duncan said and walked away to go find Gwen.

"You can't vote me off! You guys need me!" Heather yelled, but the rest of the guys had already left Heather standing completely alone.

Confessional: I told you that part was important!

Heather: The guys obviously don't see that I am an asset to the team. Well, it's just four votes. I'm sure a lot more people will vote for Scott as he's crippled.

Zeke: (Growls at the camera then attacks it, sending it to static.)

Lewis glanced at his watch and then whistled for everyone's attention. "Alright, it's been five minutes. Now when we go down, Heroic Hamsters, wait by the stairs. The Villainous Vultures will follow me down the hall way. Now, you may walk down the stairs."

Everyone started to file down the stairs. As they got lower, the light bulbs were replaced by candles. When they reached the next landing, the contestants noticed it was completely painted black. Lewis finally reached the landing and the Villainous Vultures followed the new host.

As they walked, they all noticed that a ring of torches had been set up. Inside the ring were a bunch of chairs. The Villains took their seats. In front of the seats was a podium with two torches on top. The front of it read, 'World's Greatest Lewis.'

Once everyone was seated, Lewis walked up behind the podium "Welcome to your first elimination ceremony guys in the Hall of Death. As you may know, each season, Chris usually hands out marshmallows or something to represent life. Well, this season, I'll be doing it a tad different. Inside the voting confessional right down the marked path are eighteen pictures, each one of one a contestant on this team. Also inside is a marker. X out the picture of the contestant you want to leave. After the voting. I will hold in my hand exactly eighteen pictures and a tray of bags of popcorn. I will tally the votes and if you are safe, you will receive the Corn of Life. However, the person I do not call out must immediately take our new mode of elimination which will be reveal shortly. Now any questions?"

As no one raised their hand, Lewis said, "Alright, let's begin voting. I have the order from which you were called into teams earlier today, so we will go in that order. So that means Heather, you're up first."

Voting Confessional: First time this season!

Heather: He is crippled, and therefore, completely useless. (Crosses out Scott's picture.)

Jo: It's your own fault for ending up the way you are now. Therefore, I must vote you off. (Crosses out Scott's picture.)

Justin: (Looks at himself in a mirror. He then realizes he has to vote and crosses out Ezekiel's picture.)

Vallowsmeir: For my plan to work, I must vote you off. To be honest you are a true demon and I would seriously enjoy watching you eat your own insides if I could keep you around. But I am more important than being amused by watching humans in extreme torture, therefore, I will vote you off. (Crosses out Heather's picture.)

As the last person (Courtney) had voted, Lewis had collected the pictures and tallied them up. He nodded in satisfaction and pulled out seventeen more picture. He put the Xed one at the back of the pile and looked up at the other contestants.

"You have all cast your votes. Some of them I approve of. Others not as much. But since I am not a contestant, I will leave the voting up to you. As I reveal your picture, I will call out your name and throw you a bag of popcorn," Lewis said as he placed a tray of popcorn on his podium.

"Let us start with the immune shall we?" Lewis said and held up a bag of popcorn. "Safe are Justin, Geoff, Gwen, Trent and Alejandro," Lewis said and revealed their individual pictures, tossing them each a bag of popcorn. "And for those not immune, first one safe is… Dakota."

Dakota sighed in relief as she received her popcorn. Izzy gave her a small happy grin.

"Next are Sadie."

"Noah."

"Duncan."

"Courtney."

"Izzy."

"Mr. Coconut."

"Vallowsmeir."

"Lightning."

"Jo."

"Ezekiel, who, surprisingly, was not voted off first." Lewis said and tossed Zeke a bag of popcorn. Lewis then turned two the last two without a bag of popcorn.

"So, Heather and Scott, the main antagonists of season one and four. You two are without some really good popcorn. One of you I hate with a burning passion of extreme hatred. The other I can tolerate. Since I can't pick favorites, I'll show the one actually voted off. So, it's Heather the Queen Bee, or Scott the Schemer. I can officially say the last bag of amazing popcorn goes to…

…

Scott," Lewis said and tossed Scott the last bag of popcorn and revealed Heather's crossed out picture.

Heather glared at everyone and said, "Fine. Whatever. You guys are hopeless without me anyway. So, dumb host guy, where is this new whatever of shame?"

Lewis gave Heather a cold, dead filled stare. "Thing about me Heather, before you go. I. HATE. WHATEVERS!" With that being said, a pull cord fell down from the ceiling. Lewis pulled it and the floor next to where the contestants stood opened.

As soon as it completely opened, it was noticed that there was a thin metal slide winding down all the way to the ground, which could not be seen from the height they were at. "For Heather, I much rather kick her off the plane and bring back the Drop of Shame, but since I'm merciful, I'll let her use this. Say hello to the Slide of Shame. Heather, this is you. Now leave," Lewis said to her with a glare.

Heather rolled her eyes and started walking down them. "You'll regret this. You know you can't win without me. You guys are a bunch of #$%." With that being said, Heather sat down on her butt and slid, screaming as she slid all the way down into the abyss. The floor shut over the slide once she was out of view.

Lewis turned and gave a weak smile. "Well, the rest of you guys are safe. Well, for tonight at least. You may go back to the Silver Hall. Team Courtney, Bronze Hall for you guys. I have one more stop with the Heroic Hamsters. I shall see you tomorrow." With that, the Villains dispersed, going to their individual halls.

Confessional: What fate awaits the Heroes?

Vallowsmeir: Perfect. I would have rathered keep her two more rounds, but my plan will still work. The next step is getting an inner team fight going. And I know who to use.

The Heroic Hamsters started walking down when Lewis had returned. When they reached the bottom, they noticed the hall was completely painted green. It wasn't very long. The only thing noticeable was a circular metal tube. The opening however was closed.

"Welcome to the Hall of Banishment. Everyone remembers the immunity statue from last season right?" When everyone nodded, Lewis continued, "Well, I decided to bring that back. Only this time, I decided to make it a little more difficult. Remember the seven bolt lock door back in the mess hall?" When everyone yet again nodded, Lewis continued, "Well, each bolt requires a key. I have locked the immunity statue behind that door. The keys have also been hidden to make it difficult."

Lewis was interrupted by Lindsey when she asked, "Hey Lewis? What's the weird tube thing for?"

Lewis answered by saying, "That is the twist this season. Instead of the keys being hidden on this ship, we have hidden them on the one you have just come from, The Devil's Bargain, the one with Chris on board. And, to make it difficult, he has set up obstacles all around his ship. I do not know what he has in store, but I know it isn't going to be much fun. Point being, the winning team of each challenge must choose one contestant to go over to The Devil's Bargain. It isn't really a vote, more of a volunteer thing. The person who goes over will be stuck on the other side until the next morning. To assure you stay on the other side, the tube on both sides will shut. The buttons unlocking the tubes are held by both me and Chris. We are set to unlock them at seven in the morning. Any questions?"

Nobody had anything to say. Right before Lewis could speak however, Larry raised his hand. "I would like to volunteer myself to go over to The Devil's Bargain. I was the reason we almost lost the challenge, therefore, I am the most logical choice."

Lewis raised an eyebrow but didn't question it. He quickly pulled out a remote and pushed a red button. The tube opened up. Larry took a breath and crawled into the tube. As soon he was all the way in, he turned so his head could face his teammates. "I am sorry to Team B for having to sleep in the Bronze Hall. I do hope you can forgive me. The rest of you, enjoy the Gold Hall." With that being said, Lewis pressed the same button and the tube closed, leaving Larry trapped on the other side till tomorrow morning.

"Well, I do hope you enjoy the Gold Hall. Team B, you're in the Bronze Hall. One of you should come down to retrieve Larry in the morning, I'll meet you down here. Till then, you're free to do as you wish," Lewis said and the Heroes walked up to their appropriate rooms.

Lewis turned to the camera and gave grin. "Well, this is my first outro. How exciting! So, Heather was the first one gone and Larry decided to be the first one banished. What will happen next time? Will Izzy do anything insane? Can Larry find forgiveness? Has Alejandro really changed for the good? And what is up with Val? Well, I'll ponder later. Find out next time on Total Drama All Stars!"

AN: And done! This is above all my longest chapter I have ever written in my life. I think I out did myself. I hope you liked it. Before I close, let me explain a few things.

I'm sorry for those of you who had expectations of a different host. But to be honest, I have been planning to use Lewis as host for about six months now. Also, Pinkie offers plot purpose. I like her as a character and I think she has a lot to offer, whether you agree or not.

And lastly, the reason I took out Heather first. I felt that, as a villain, she came off really forced. The entire time, she was purposely doing wrong and for what? The money? The enjoyment? You never really get a reason of why she acted the way she did. So, I figured since I didn't have anything to work with, she was the perfect first boot. Plus, I feel she shone to much over past seasons to really count as anything more than a first boot. (I also wanted this thing with Zeke always going first to end.)

Well, that's all I have to say. Hopefully you enjoyed it. Tell me how I did and what you liked. Or you can tell me how bad I did and what you hated. Or nothing at all. Just be sure there is no swearing, just block it out if you must swear. Until next chapter, peace on! Benjamin Ellimist.
