Chapter 3 - The Keyblade
Playa de Losers - Pool Area
BOOM!
The thunder roared, bringing Cody back to reality.
"Whoa." he said quietly. "That was the loudest one yet."
He looked up and saw that the sky was now almost completely black. This storm was beginning to look really bad. The tech geek thought it was really strange that it hadn't started to pour down rain yet, considering the sky had been pretty dark for the last half hour almost. Cody decided that now was a good time to go inside.
As he got within feet of the door though, it opened from the other side. Someone was coming out into this? Cody got a closer look and saw that it was Duncan, he was wearing a black jacket.
"What are you still doing out here, dweeb?" Duncan asked Cody, rather rudely.
Brushing off the insult Cody replied "Well, there was this guy out here a second ago. He was wearing a robe with his hood over his head."
"A guy in a robe? You sure about that?"
"Yeah, and he was looking at that keyhole."
"Keyhole?" asked Duncan, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, it's right there behind you." Cody stated, pointing above the entrance. But then he saw that the keyhole was gone. Duncan turned to where he was pointing and saw nothing there, and turned back to the geek.
"What keyhole?"
"But, but. It was just there a second ago!"
Duncan laughed. "Dude, I think Heather was right. This show has cracked you."
Cody looked embarassed, and was now completely confused. He knew that he had seen a keyhole, and he knew that he saw a hooded man. But where had he gone? How did he disappear so quickly? And what about the keyhole? He knew that it had been there just a second before he pointed at it, but then it just vanished. Uggh! What was going on?
"Well, what are you doing out here?" he asked the TDA winner. Deciding to just change the subject.
"I'm gonna go look for Courtney." the punk answered. "This storm is looking real nasty. I gotta bring her back before it gets too bad."
"Do you want some help?"
"Nah. The wind from this storm might blow your small body away with it, then I'll have to look for two people." he replied jokingly.
the geek looked down, humiliated. Duncan started to walk toward the gate that led to the woods, but he stopped and added "Thanks though, I appreciate it."
Cody looked back at him, shocked. Duncan sounded serious. "No problem." It was all he could say.
The punk turned back around and started running toward the woods. The tech geek smiled. Duncan had never thanked him for anything before. It felt rather good.
Suddenly he began to hear something like howling wind. Cody looked up into the black-colored sky one more time, and he saw something, high above the hotel, that made his eyes go wide in fear.
Playa de Losers - Lounge
The blonde couple were still making out. Geoff and Bridgette weren't wearing their swimwear anymore, and had changed back into their clothes at some point in the last thirty minutes. Geoff was laying on one of the sofas while Bridgette was on top of him. The surfer girl took off her hoodie and threw it on the ground. She was wearing a sky blue haltertop that slightly showed off her belly.
Geoff looked around, while still kissing Bridgette, and saw that they were alone. So he went to take off her top. Bridgette immediately broke the kiss and looked at him.
"What are you doing?!" She asked him, getting off of him.
"Well," Geoff started. "I thought maybe we could, you know, go to the next level."
Bridgette was shocked, and rather angry. Surely her boyfriend knew better than that. Even though they did make out a lot, they had really only been dating for a couple of months. She had told him already that she wasn't ready for anything like sex yet, and he just tried to take her shirt off?
"Geoff, how many times do I have to tell you that it's to soon for that?!" said Bridgette angrily.
"Well? When is a good time?!" asked Geoff heatedly.
"I-" started Bridgette, looking away from him and crossing her arms. "I don't know, okay?"
"Oh, come on Bridge, I'm tired of waiting!"
"No Geoff! I told you, I'm not ready for sex yet! End of discussion!"
"Geez, none of the girls back home were as stubborn as you."
Bridgette looked back at Geoff in stunned disbelief. Like she couldn't believe that he'd say that. "What did you just say?" the surfer muttered.
"Umm.." Geoff choked, realizing what he just said. He could see that his girlfriend was livid, and she looked hurt. "I'm sorry, Bridge-"
Bridgette was indeed very hurt. In fact, she was on the verge of tears. She didn't give him time to finish what he was going to say as she picked up her hoodie and stomped out of the lounge. Bridgette was too disgusted to even look at the party dude right now.
Bridgette practically ran toward the room hallways and ran until she came to an empty corridor. The blonde then leaned her back against one of the walls before sliding herself down to a sitting position. She finally broke down and cried into her hoodie.
The surfer girl couldn't believe that Geoff would say something like that. Sure he would say the wrong thing a lot, but what he said just now was something you shouldn't say to your girlfriend. What's worse is he had said it with such conviction, and so harshly, that it sounded like she was worse than the skanks he had relationships with back home. Well, if Geoff thought she was worse than them, then maybe he could go home without her, and make out and sleep with those hussies when he got back tomorrow, as a newly single man.
"You and Party Boy fight again?" someone asked suddenly. Shocked, Bridgette took her face out from her hoodie, looked up and saw Noah standing there with his arms crossed, looking down at her. She did her best to regain her composure.
"Oh, hey Noah." she muttered. "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for Cody." he answered, not really concerned with whatever was bothering Bridgette. "I just went to his and Tyler's room and he hasn't come back there yet."
"What?" Bridgette gasped. She left him outside almost half an hour ago and thought he'd of come back inside by now. "He was outside last time I saw him."
"Staying outside when the weather makes it look like the world's about to end? That's smart." said the prodigy sarcastically. Bridgette put Geoff out of her mind and focused all her worry on Cody now.
"Come on. Let's go find him." As she got off the floor, somebody ran into her, knocking her back down. She looked up and saw that it was Lindsay who had run into her.
"Owww." the dumb blonde moaned. "Sorry Brianna."
"It's okay, Lindsay." Bridgette told her, ignoring the fact that Lindsay got her name wrong and helping her fellow blonde up.
"Where's the fire?" Noah asked Lindsay.
"I totally forgot my lip gloss outside." she answered. "I was just going to get it, but the thunder scared me so much I started running."
"Well, we need to go outside too." said Bridgette, putting her hoodie back on. "Why don't you come with us?"
"Okay!" Lindsay said brightly.
The three of them walked down the hallway, turned into the main hallway and past the entrance to the lounge (Bridgette hurrying past it) before arriving in the front lobby. They got outside and saw Cody standing close to the door, he was looking up at the sky with a fearful look on his face.
Playa de Losers - Pool Area
Cody was still looking up, high into the sky. He didn't hear Bridgette, Noah and Lindsay come out of the hotel, but he did hear Bridgette as she got closer to them.
"There you are C-" the surfer started to say, but then she looked at the look of horror on his face. "Cody? What's wrong?"
He didn't answer. He just pointed up into the sky above Playa de Losers. The other three turned around to look where he was pointing, and each of them got scared too.
About a mile above them was a very large, swirling black vortex. They could hear what sounded like the strong winds from earlier coming from it. They could also hear loud cracks that sounded like thunder as the entire mass swirled menacingly above them.
Bridgette found her voice first.
"GUYS! GET OUT HERE, QUICK!"
Every Total Drama contestant had heard her and rushed out to see what was going on.
"Bridgette!" called Gwen. "What's wrong? What's going on?"
Everyone else already saw what was wrong. They looked up and saw the deadly looking vortex as well. What's more, It was getting bigger by the second.
"Great Gatsby! What is that?!" Owen hollared, looking up with fright.
"It's a huge, black vortex!" answered Harold unnecessarily, looking at the said vortex wide-eyed.
"No?! Really?!" Noah asked sarcastically. "Anything else you want to point out Captain Obvious?!"
"Yeah! It's getting bigger!" yelled Trent, pointing up at the vortex. Sure enough it had gotten bigger in the last minute.
Coming back to his senses. Cody realized something. "Oh no!" he screamed. "Duncan and Courtney are still out there!"
"What!" Gwen turned to him. "Why didn't you say something?!" she snapped. Cody wondered why she sounded so frustrated at him.
"He only just left a couple minutes ago." he answered defensively. "I'm gonna go look for them!"
"What!" Bridgette exclaimed. "No. Cody its dangerous right now, we should stay together!"
"I'm going to go find him too!" said Gwen. She immediately sprinted off into the woods. Cody looked back at Bridgette apologetically, then took off after Gwen.
Bridgette looked at their retreating backs. She knew that they had good intentions by going to look for Courtney and Duncan, but still. She didn't think it was a good idea to be separated from the group.
"They'll be alright girl." Leshawna told her.
"I hope your right." she replied back. She suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder, turning around she saw Geoff.
"It'll be ok, Bridge." he said quitely. "Leshawna's right."
Bridgette just looked at him with fear. She still hadn't forgotten what he said to her earlier, but with the situation they were in now, she couldn't really focus on being mad about it right now.
None of the teens saw the shadow crawling around on the concrete behind them, staring at them with it's empty yellow eyes.
The Forest
"Gwen! Wait up!" Cody yelled to the goth girl. "You're going too fast!"
"No time!" Gwen yelled back. "We've gotta find Duncan!"
"And Courtney?!"
"Right, whatever. Her too!"
Cody was a little confused. Gwen didn't sound like she was really concerned about Courtney. It sounded like she was only worried about Duncan. Why? Was it because she was still angry at the brunette for earlier? While he was thinking about it, he failed to notice where he was running, and he tripped over a rock. Gwen didn't stop to check on him, she just kept running, calling out for Duncan and Courtney. By the time Cody got back to his feet, Gwen was nowhere to be seen.
"Gwen?" he called out. "Gwen!"
No one answered. He mentally swore to himself. He couldn't believe Gwen didn't stop to help him up. They were friends weren't they? Was she that concerned about the other two that she wouldn't help him?
"Wait?" thought Cody. "Does she?"
Gwen did seem a little too worried about Duncan earlier for it to be just casual. Just the thought of that broke his heart. But then he realized the situation he was in, and looked around. He didn't recognize where he was at.
"Great!" he said aloud "Now what?!"
Unbeknownst to the geek, he was being watched. Followed, by a group of shadows scurrying around in the darkness of the woods.
Playa de Losers - Pool Area
The contestants were now running around, panicking. Some of them were hiding under the tables or behind the fake trees. The spinning vortex in the sky was getting ever so slightly bigger by the second.
"I"m scared." said Lindsay, holding onto Tyler. "I wish Tyler was here?" Tyler's face fell.
Beth suddenly tripped over the net used for cleaning the pool and fell over. Lindsay went over to help her BFF up.
"Are you alright Beth?"
"Yeah," answered Beth. "I'm al-" she didn't finish though, as the tiny teen saw something materialize from the ground behind Lindsay. It was black in color and had yellow eyes and two antenna on its head.
"Lindsay! Behind you!"
Lindsay turned around and saw the creature. She screamed like a banshee as the monster pounced, but Tyler intervened and punched it straight in the face, sending the creature flying into the pool, where it burst into a dark mist.
"Oh my gosh! You totally saved me!" Lindsay cried in joy, hugging Tyler tightly. "Thanks Tyson!"
"It's me! Tyler!"
Lindsay looked Tyler up and down, taking in his appearence. Then she screamed excitedly.
"Tyler! Where have you been this whole time?" She immediately crashed her lips into his, shocking the jock before he eased into the kiss too.
"Umm." said Beth in disbelief. "Is this the time for that?"
There were more of these monsters popping up and now everybody saw them. They each grabbed something to use as a weapon and started to fight them off. Leshawna, Bridgette, DJ, Geoff and Noah were fighting a pair or these things together. DJ was hiding behind Bridgette. One of them was about to jump onto her when Geoff swung his folding chair and destroyed it, saving Bridgette.
"Oh Geoff," she said, putting a hand to his face. "You're so brave." She immediately forgave him for what he said earlier. They were about to start kissing when Leshawna stopped them.
"Ain't no time for that you two!" she yelled at them. "We gotta kick some monster booty!" She swung her folding chair and took out three at the same time.
"Whooo! Who's bad? Who's bad?" Leshawna started to do a victory dance when another one of the monsters hit her from behind, knocking her to the ground. "Oh, so its like that now is it?! Then bring it on shorty!"
Izzy and Eva were taking care of some more of the creatures. They were punching and kicking at them. One of them was about to pounce on Izzy when Owen rammed into it, making the creature fly over the fence, out of sight and crash into the rocky cliff below.
"Alright Big O!" Izzy cheered, giving him a kiss on the cheek as thanks.
Owen chuckled and blushed. "Oh, it was nothing."
Trent and Harold were dealing with another group of monsters by the hotel entrance. Harold had his nunchucks and Trent used his guitar.
"Dude, have you noticed?" Trent asked Harold, while hitting one of them with his guitar.
"That when we defeat one, another one spawns in it's place?" Harold replied, seeing that as well. "Yeah, I did."
"Nerdling is right." said Heather, beating two of the monsters with a pool noodle. "These things just keep coming."
"Oh, I hope Cody and the others are all right." Bridgette said.
Suddenly the ground beneath them was starting to come apart and the wind had picked up speed considerably. Everybody looked up and saw that the dark vortex had doubled in size while they fought off the strange monsters
"Well! We're all screwed!" yelled Noah.
"UGH! How can this get any worse?!" snapped Heather furiously.
Suddenly the cracked ground started to come apart, and pieces of the debris rose into the air. Playa de Losers was coming apart as well as the pieces were also rising toward the vortex. The debris disappeared into nothing when they made contact with the mass of destruction. Everyone glared at Heather.
"You just had to say something, didn't you?!" snapped Noah.
The Forest
"Gwen! Duncan! Courtney!" Cody was calling out to the others.
He wasn't getting any response. He sighed then turned around to look at the vortex he looked back and saw the was growing in size every second. He then turned back around and jumped when he saw a little black creature standing there.
"No!" he gasped. "It can't be!"
It was the same little monster that he had seen in his dream last night. It had the same little arms and legs, the same yellow eyes and the same pair of antenna. What's more, was that there were more coming up from the ground all around him. Cody was surrounded.
"This can't be happening." Cody started backing away from the horde of monsters. He was having flashbacks to his dream. He remembered that these things weren't that hard to defeat when he had a sword. But now he was unarmed. He had nothing to defend himself with.
The creatures were closing in. "Uhh, n-nice monsters." stuttered Cody fearfully. "You don't wanna eat me. See?" he lifted up his shirt to show them is skinny body. "Just skin and bones." Then he backed up into a tree. Now he was trapped.
The monsters were now in jumping range. They pounced toward the tech geek. Cody held his arms up to his face in defense. As they got closer, there was a bright flash of light.
Cody opened his eyes and saw that the creatures were gone. "What the heck?" he then looked into his right arm and saw that he was holding something. "What! What is this thing?!"
The thing in his hand looked exactly like a sword. It had a yellow guard, and a handle. The only difference was that it had teeth, like that of a key, coming from the top of the shaft. There was a chain attached to the end, which ended with three circles in the shape of something like a triangle. Two of the circles were smaller, and on top of the larger third circle. It was then that Cody noticed that this weapon, whatever it was, was in fact a giant key. A giant key that was shaped like a weapon.
He didn't have time to admire it when a new group of the monsters appeared. Cody, with newly-acquired weapon in hand, got into a fighting stance. The creatures came at him, and Cody slashed at them. They would burst into a dark mist when he killed one. He easily dispatched of all them within a couple minutes
"Man, this thing rocks!" The tech geek said, praising this key-like sword he now had.
Then he turned around and saw that the Vortex had now doubled in size as he was fighting. Scared out of his mind about the others, he started to run back toward the hotel. But then he saw his path being blocked by someone.
It was the same strange, hooded man he had seen earlier.
"It's you." exclaimed Cody.
The man didn't say anything this time. There was a dark aura coming from his body. Then he unleashed a powerful gust of wind that sent Cody flying into the air.
Cody fell on top of something sandy. He opened his eyes and saw that he was on large piece of landmass. He was still holding the weird key sword. Looking around he saw that there were dark streaks of wind blowing all around the area. Then he looked up and saw that the place was very close to the black vortex. He crawled over to the edge and saw that he was so high that he couldn't see the ground.
"Oh no!" Cody got back to his feet. Then he heard something behind him. What he saw behind him almost made his heart stop.
"No, not again..."
It was a massive monster. It had large yellow eyes, tentacle-like hair with some of them wrapped around its mouth, and a large heart-shaped hole in it's stomach. The geek recognized it immediately as the same huge beast that he fought in his dream.
Cody was trying hard not to panic now. All of the monsters from his dream were here, at Total Drama Island. They were real. Then it clicked. So was his dream. This was all real.
He just noticed that the monster had gotten down on both knees and had stretched its arms out, sticking out it's chest. All of a sudden dark blasts of light came out of it's stomach and were aiming for him. Cody started dodging all of them. He remembered from his dream that the huge beast's arms were it's weak points. So while it was kneeled down he ran up and started attacking the arms.
Then the monster stood back up and brought it's fist down onto the ground. Keeping it there and spawning a group of the smaller creatures from earlier. Cody also remembered this part from his dream, and repeated the process of attacking the arm and the creatures when they appeared.
After a while, the huge beast looked like it was getting weaker. Suddenly it began to float into the air and it headed straight for the vortex. Then next second it had disappeared into it.
Cody, realizing that the vortex was what sucked it up into the air, ran and grabbed hold of a large rock. He held on as the force from the swirling blackhole got stronger and stronger. He felt his body lift into the air. Cody held on for dear life. He could feel his grip on the rock start to slip away. Now he was holding on by one arm.
"NOOO!" he screamed. "I'M NOT READY TO DIE YET!"
His grip gave way. He screamed as he was pulled into the air, heading toward the dark void. And soon, the entire world was destroyed. Consumed by this vortex.
Post Note:
Well, this sucks for the contestants doesn't it? Where will they end up? Find out next time.
So how was it? Did I tell the serious situations well enough? Leave a review to let me know how this chapter was.
