Disclaimer- I do not own Total Drama or anything related except for this fanfic. All credit goes to the creators, Teletoon, and Cartoon Network. I also do not own the alphabet theme, that belongs to Frank15. The 27 OC's in this story DO belong to me, though, so please do not steal them or I will be very very angry face.
Author's Notes- Between midterms, science fair, more midterms, my approaching driving test, job hunting, house swapping, and recovering after being hit in the face by a door, it's easy to see why I don't have much time to update. So I devote most of my free time to writing.
A special thanks goes to American King, FrostPrince, and Ishi Bana-Bana for their kind reviews! I tried very hard to make my characters stand out, and it seems that I succeeded.
Warning! This chapter is pretty short, but gets weird at times. Ladies and gentlemen... fasten your seatbelts.
You know what? I'm going to write out the theme song, just this once. Because I feel like doing it.
Chris McLean and Chef Hatchet were both sitting in the cockpit of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. As Chef flew the plane, Chris flashed his signature smile for the camera.
"Last time on Total Drama World Tour Two! We introduced our audience to twenty-six alphabetically-named teenagers from all corners of Canada; from the mentally unstable like hyperactive Lemmy and mad scientist Xerxes, to the sweet ones like ultra-huggable Jessie and kind nurse Carmella, to the just plain creepy like cross-dressing Preston and emo boy Nate- just to name a few! We also let Chef's nephew Jar-Money join the competition to help even out the teams."
"If my boy gets hurt, then you're in for a world of serious ass-whoopin', McLean." growled Chef Hatchet.
"He'll be fine, Chef. So, like last season, the first destination on our world trip was Egypt! But this time they didn't have to cross the Nile River and guard barnyard animals or tree branches. Nope, instead they had to go over, under, or around a pyramid, then race camels and little red wagons to the finish line!"
Chef Hatchet grinned. "Remember when Apocalypse Boy destroyed your-"
"I'm getting to that! The twenty-seven teens were then split into three teams of nine: Team Sandstorm, Team Venom, and last but not least, Team Chef is Really Really Really Really Cute. Preston came up with that last one."
"I like it!" smiled Chef.
"You're a lot of things, Chef, but 'cute' isn't one of them. During the challenge some of the cast formed solid friendships, like dancer Ellen and parkour enthusiast Randall. Others made tons of enemies, like convict Seth and bossy bully Olivia. And Will just twitched and screamed a lot."
"That kid has issues. Seriously, why did you let a boy with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder compete in the first place?" asked Chef.
"I told you, the producers liked his freak-outs. But in the end, it was Team Venom who ended up losing due to Damien crashing my dune buggy and destroying over 100 gallons worth of hair gel. I'm really growing to hate that guy. But after he won a follow-up solo immunity challenge, it was rich snob Queeny who took the Drop of Shame since her team couldn't stand her condescending attitude, thus making her the first official boot of the game. They may be down a member, but Team Venom isn't done yet.
"Where do you think the next challenge is located? Who will be the second person voted off? How the heck did Lemmy get so popular with the viewers? Will we ever understand anything Felipe says? And will Helga teach Chef how to make a decent meal?"
Chef roared, "She'd darn well better!"
"Find out right now, on Total! Drama! World Tour Two!"
(Theme Song- I Wanna Be Famous)
(The usual spotlights and cameras come out of their hiding places.)
"Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine,"
(The camera rushes past Chris in the Drop of Shame room, out of the plane and into the ocean. The camera lens clears up to reveal Lemmy underwater, wearing swim trunks. A shark tries to sneak up on him, but Lemmy turns and roars, chasing it away. Air bubbles float to the surface, showing Brandi and Vance on a pirate ship while they battle each other with wooden swords.)
"You guys are on my mind."
(Cut to the airplane canteen, with Gail and Ivan tied up tight and looking frightened. Chef attemps to force feed them slop, but Helga smacks his serving ladel away and scolds him. Cuts briefly to the freezer, showing Ulilah staring in worry at Anthony, who's frozen in a block of ice.)
"You asked me what I wanted to be
And now I think the answer is plain to see."
(Cut to the streets of Mexico, with Damien standing on a crate and preaching the apocalypse to uninterested passerby. Felipe is next to him, translating. Jar-Money then approaches and rolls his eyes at the two.)
"'Cause I wanna be famous!"
(Cut to an arena in Japan. Seth is wrestling with Olivia, both of them trying to push the other back, while Preston cheers from the sidelines and Queeny boos loudly.)
"I wanna live close to the sun"
(Cut to Yuka and Will walking through the Egyptian desert. The Jumbo Jet passes by overhead, causing Will to freak out and scream. Yuka whistles, and Jessie rushes in from off-screen to give him a comforting death squeeze.)
"Well, pack your bags 'cause I've already won"
(Cut to Kendra and Carmella sitting on some Easter Island heads and looking out at the view. Shifts to Trixie and Ellen in France, performing a mime/dance act to a cheering crowd.)
"Everything to prove, nothing in my way"
(Cut to Xerxes using his metal arm to hack through some thick vegetation in a Louisiana swampland.)
"I'll get there one day"
(As Xerxes continues his trek, Nate suddenly drops down in front of him from the treetops, with his limbs suspended by vines to keep him airborne. Xerxes screams in shock and runs away.)
"'Cause I wanna be famous!"
(Cut to Randall "surfing" the top of the Jumbo Jet in glee. The camera switches view to show Malcolm hanging onto the plane's tail for dear life.)
"Na, na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na na"
(The camera pans up to the sun, then back down to show all twenty-seven contestants arranged in a human pyramid on top of the plane. They sing the lyrics of the theme song and dance just like in the original World Tour.)
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
(As they sing and dance, a now-thawed Anthony and Helga are shown on top of the human pyramid with their arms linked. Near the middle right, Nate is hit in the face/mask by a flying newspaper headlined "TDWT2". Beneath him, Gail laughs heartily.)
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
(Inside the cockpit, an annoyed Chef tilts the plane sharply, causing all of the contestants to fall off. They safely land at an airport runway with parachutes, though Seth's doesn't open and he falls flat on his face. The Jumbo Jet, bearing the show's logo, parks behind them. As the whistling tune starts, the camera turns around to show a smiling Zillah, revealing that she had been responsible for filming most of the intro. She winks as the theme song ends.)
Day 2, Part 1: Greatest Freak-Out Ever
(First Class)
Flying over for a visit.
Panic erupts as control is lost.
Held hostage at gunpoint.
Beating fists, struggling to escape.
An ominous ticking sound.
Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.
Thrown to the ground, crawling to safety-
BOOM!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH HHHHHHH!" Will screamed, sitting up in his chair with a face of pure terror.
His shriek instantly woke up everybody else in First Class, and they all looked around in panic before their eyes settled on Will. The poor boy's skin was deathly pale and his eyes were wider than dinner plates. He was also beginning to hyperventilate.
"Will, buddy, are you okay? What happened?" asked Jar-Money in concern. The rapper sat in a chair next to his teammate, patting him firmly on the back to help steady his breathing. Will twitched violently before letting out another scream.
"NO! PULL UP! PULL UP! OH MY GOD, WE'RE ALL GOING TO FREAKING DIE!" he yelled, burying his face into his hands and sobbing loudly.
Gail left the group to head to the Economy Class section. "I'm going to find Carmella; keep him restrained until I come back!"
Jar-Money nodded as Gail departed, scooping up Will in his arms and locking him in a tight embrace so he couldn't escape. It wasn't like he didn't try, though.
"Will, snap out of it! You're safe!" pleaded Ellen. "Can you hear me? Nobody is in danger!"
"That isn't going to help," said Xerxes, shaking his head. "He's in his own little world."
"Way to be nice about it." muttered Randall.
"I hope that Gail gets back soon; he's also starting to scare me a bit!" Preston gulped nervously.
As if on cue, Carmella burst through the doors of First Class with Gail following close behind. Noticing the squirming Will, she commanded, "Jar-Money! Set him down on a seat, but keep him restrained!"
"Sure thing, Carmella." said Jar-Money, plopping himself down on a massage chair with a still-frightened Will in his arms. The nurse kneeled down in front of them and looked the traumatized boy right in the eyes. He didn't seem to notice that she was even there, instead continuing to babble and whimper randomly.
Carmella sighed. "I should've seen this coming. He's re-living his past trauma; the event that gave him PTSD in the first place. It's unfortunately a rather common occurance."
"So what can we do to help?" asked Brandi in worry.
"We have a couple of options, but I'd rather take the easy way out." Carmella smiled, reaching over to Will and pinching a nerve on his neck. Almost instantly, he stopped struggling and slumped over, unconscious.
"Whoa, he's out cold." noted Randall.
Preston grinned. "Ooh, you'll have to show me how to do that! I can use it on a handsome guy and drag him to the Cargo Hold so we can-"
"Lalalalalalala, I can't hear you!" Ellen shouted, covering her ears.
(Confessional- Great way to start the day, huh?)
Gail- "Well, that was one of the more eventful mornings I've ever had."
Brandi- "The worst part of it is that he couldn't even help it! I feel so bad for Will; hopefully nobody makes fun of his condition back home. I reckon that would just be plain old mean!"
Randall- "Thank goodness we have Carmella; she may be on a different team, but her medical knowledge is a benefit to every one of us. And I hate to say this, but if Will's panic attacks become a regular occurance, then we might have to vote him off out of sympathy."
Carmella- "All the more reason to keep me around, I guess. Just for the record, I probably could've snapped him out of it by slapping him silly... but it'd be awkward explaining that to him if he questioned where the red marks on his cheeks came from."
After Carmella left to head back to Second Class, Seth entered from a different door adjacent to Chris' private quarters. The thug yawned loudly before noticing Will slumped over in an uncomfortable position on his seat.
"What the #bleep# happened to the squirt?" Seth asked, curious.
"Oh, honey, it was absolutely terrible!" wailed Preston, rushing over to cling onto Seth's arm. "He woke the rest of us up with all this horrible screaming, and didn't recognize us! So we got that wonderful nurse lady to help calm him down!"
The prisoner shook Preston off of his arm before grinning dangerously. "Well good! After what that little runt put me through yesterday, I'd say his pain is well-deserved!"
"What did he do to you?" Ellen asked him.
Brandi decided to speak up. "Well, y'see, Seth was tryin' to hit on me during the camel race yesterday... and Will kinda kicked him off of his camel while he wasn't lookin'." she explained.
"And then Preston came back to pick me up," Seth grunted in conclusion. "I couldn't wait until the stupid challenge ended after that!"
"Heh, if Will was awake, I'd high-five him right now." chuckled Xerxes.
Seth scowled and headed back to Chris' room. "I'll see you failed abortions later. Right now I'm gonna go and watch some more pornos with Chris."
There was a long and incredibly awkward moment of silence.
"... Anyone up for a game of Wii Sports?" asked Jar-Money in a desperate attempt to change the subject. Almost everyone nodded in agreement to his suggestion.
Brandi tilted her hat to the side and scratched her head in confusion. "I don't get it. What's the difference between regular sports and Wii sports? And isn't this plane a little small to be playin' sports in?"
(Confessional- The author is a pain magnet when it comes to sports.)
Jar-Money- "I find it adorable how Brandi's so oblivious to the world outside her home. Signing up for this show will probably end up being a good experience for her, both socially and culturally."
Xerxes- "So Chris and Seth spent all of last night watching... those kinds of movies? You know what, forget it; I'm not even surprised anymore. But in the meantime, I'm inventing a little something that's certain to help us win more challenges... let's just say I know a thing or two about botany." (Xerxes rubs his hands together and cackles dementedly.)
Ellen- "Umm... for some reason, I no longer feel motivated to be the MVP winner in challenges... but that's just me."
(Second Class)
Team Sandstorm had chosen to abandon sleeping on the uncomfortable metal seats and instead opted to lay around the Second Class lounge in whatever positions they were happy with. Carmella had returned and sat against a wall, watching her teammates in their peaceful slumbers. Vance simply laid on the floor, snoring. Ulilah and Lemmy had found a small rug in a storage closet and decided to share it together, while Kendra was laying against another wall peacefully. Yuka was sleeping using her hair as a pillow of sorts.
The team members who weren't present were Anthony, Helga, and Nate. Helga was awake and in the kitchen, tutoring Chef on how to cook. The nurse was pretty sure that Nate was in the Cargo Hold, while Anthony was nowhere to be found.
She was so lost in her thoughts that a loud banging noise nearby caused her to jump up in fright. The noise also woke up the rest of the contestants in Second Class.
"Huh? What? Batten down the hatches! Man the poop deck! Get Chuck Norris!" cried Lemmy as he sat up quickly. "We're being attacked by airplane pirates!"
"You know, that would be an interesting idea for a movie." pondered Zillah, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Unlike Team Sandstorm, Team Venom decided to sleep on the seats. "I'll have to keep that in mind in case we visit Hollywood."
Ulilah got to her feet and stretched. "Make the pregnant girl sleep on the cold metal floor; that'll do my back wonders." she said sarcastically.
"I had a dream about talking ponies!" Ivan announced to no one specifically.
(Confessional- If you dream that you're in a dream, you probably watch too much TV.)
Kendra- "Somehow, I doubt that Ivan has reached high school yet."
Malcolm- "I have this nagging suspicion that Ivan's a Brony. My little sister watches that show, but I never got the appeal."
Trixie- (She raises a brow and shrugs.)
"I wonder where that banging sound came from," said Vance with a yawn. "I mean, I normally get up pretty early for some excercise, but that was rediculous."
"I know what you mean; I'm a light sleeper myself." Jessie added.
"Buenos días a todos!" called a familiar cheerful voice nearby.
Thirteen heads turned in the direction of the voice. Crouching on his knees away from everyone else was Felipe, holding thin sheets of metal against the plane's rusty walls and hammering them firmly into place. The loud bangs the hammer was making seemed to be the source of the noise.
"Felipe, what are you doing?" frowned Olivia, still annoyed at having been woken up.
The Mexican boy simply smiled. "Estoy arreglando esta trampa mortal increíblemente inestable," he explained. "Si la pared se rompe de nuevo, entonces no tenemos ningún gordos como Owen para tapar este momento."
"... What?" asked Kendra in bewilderment.
"I think he mentioned how Owen blocked the collapsing wall last season. So I'm guessing he's fixing it up so it doesn't happen again." Yuka suggested.
Felipe nodded eagerly and gave her a thumbs-up before continuing to work.
"If you don't mind me asking, who'd you guys vote off last night?" Vance asked the other team. "Only that I'm not very familiar with your names yet."
"We voted off Queeny, that rich snob. I was half tempted to throw her back into the quicksand when we were still in Egypt." Olivia answered with a chuckle.
"We would have voted for Damien since he cost us the challenge, but he was immune." said Zillah, jerking her thumb toward the doomsayer.
Damien grinned. "Wasn't entirely my fault. Besides, I'm not planning on going anywhere anytime soon."
He then turned to Jessie. "I bet you wouldn't like it if I left, would you, toots?"
"Please don't call me toots," mumbled Jessie in slight discomfort.
"Oh, I gotcha. How about 'sexy'?" Damien persisted.
"No..."
"Sweet cheeks?"
"No..."
"Eye candy?"
"NO!"
Ulilah had seen enough. "Why are you antagonizing her? You're going to be voted off for sexual harassment if you keep this up!" she sternly warned him.
"Hey, the world's going to end soon, so why not have a little fun before it does?" the doomsayer shrugged. He stood up and picked up his scythe. "I'm heading to the canteen. I hope there's flapjacks!"
And with that, he left.
"You guys should throw the next challenge, just to vote his ass off!" laughed Kendra.
"As much as I would like to, it isn't worth the risk. Especially if he wins solo immunity again." pointed out Malcolm. Trixie nodded in support but said nothing as usual.
"Who cares? Quick, to the flapjack room!" yelled Lemmy as he ran off to follow Damien.
(Confessional- Now I see why Lemmy is so popular.)
Olivia- "I'm surrounded by idiots. They'd better pray they don't piss me off!"
Malcolm- "Actually, I plan to keep Damien around for a while. Under that cocky exterior lies a very strong competitor... and that scythe is nothing to be laughed at either. I wonder where he got it?"
Damien- "Internet."
Vance- "Out of all the teams, I'd say Team Vemon seems the most disfunctional. Which is too bad, because some of them seem like pretty nice people. But leading my own team is my primary concern for now."
Yuka- "I feel sorry for Jessie; she deserves to have good friends and not some creep's perverted affections. On a sepatate note, I wonder what today's challenge is... hopefully something that isn't too violent for my tastes."
Ulilah- "You know, I can't help but feel that our team was missing a few people..."
Ivan- "If I win the money, I'm gonna buy a whole lot of socks! Socks are comfy on my hands and feet and head!"
(Airplane Canteen)
The teens were sitting around in the Airplane Canteen, eating the breakfast that Helga and Chef Hatchet cooked. They were given a choice of toast, bacon and eggs, a ham and cheese omelette, or (much to Lemmy's delight) flapjacks. They immediately knew who had cooked what since the ham in the omelettes and the eggs were both a little green.
"Figures Chef would make green eggs and ham." sighed Yuka, taking a bite of toast.
"I'm fine with it," smiled Vance. "Beats what they served at boot camp, that's for sure!"
"Not to mention I pretty much grew up with this stuff. At least it's edible." added Jar-Money from Team Chef's table.
Carmella looked around. "Has anyone seen Anthony and Nate?"
Helga was walking to the freezer in the kitchen to find some ice cream for dessert. Humming to herself, she opened the freezer door only to find a most unusual sight in front of her.
Anthony was standing in the middle of the room in some dark blue snowflake-patterned swim trunks, pouring buckets of what was obviously ice cold water over his head. His clothes were neatly folded on a small cot laying in a corner where he had slept.
"Ahh, nothing like a cold refreshing bath to start the day!" the cryomaniac exclaimed.
"What the-? Anthony, what are you doing in here?" Helga asked in shock.
Startled, Anthony spun around to face her. "Oh! Helga! I can explain; you see, I sorta... spent the night here?" he explained sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.
Helga nodded slowly. "Okay... well, breakfast is ready, just to give you a heads up, ja."
"Got any cold cereal?" asked Anthony eagerly.
"Probably." shrugged Helga.
"Alright. Just give me a minute to change and I'll be right out, okay?" Anthony smiled.
"Okay." Helga nodded again. She shut the freezer door and turned around to see Chef Hatchet watching her in confusion.
"What the heck happened in there?" the large cook questioned, looking up at the door.
The Swiss girl brushed past him, response toneless. "Nothing you need to see, ja."
(Confessional- Don't try any of this at home, kids.)
Helga- "... Holy crap. And he spent the night in there? Why?"
Anthony- (He shrugs.) "What can I say? I'm a cryo; I prefer cold places."
"This is a *twitch* pretty good breakfast." said Will, now wide awake. He apparently didn't remember anything about what had happened earlier that morning, and his teammates decided not to remind him in fear of triggering a relapse.
"Speaking of good things..." Xerxes snickered.
Gail gave him a quizzical look. "What are you talking about? Are you making some kind of illegal invention behind our backs?"
"You'll see soon enough!" the mad scientist replied cryptically.
Most of Team Sandstorm sat at another table, now joined by Anthony.
"So, where do you guys think we're heading next?" said Carmella to start some conversation. "I myself would like to visit Alaska. I heard it's a beautiful place."
"When they're not blowing up mountains looking for specks of gold." grumbled Kendra.
"... You're not very social, are you, Kendra?" blinked Anthony.
The cranky girl scoffed. "People slow you down. I always work solo."
"Like it or not, it's going to be a team effort until the merge," Yuka pointed out. "And that's a long way away. Don't you like any of us?"
Kendra was silent for a moment before speaking again. "Here's what I think. You're God's little helper, Vance is a G.I. Joe wannabe, Anthony's just weird, Carmella cares too much about every stinking creature on the planet, nobody cares about Nate, Lemmy's insane, Helga's too cheerful, and Ulilah will be useless in challenges. It shouldn't be any wonder why I don't want to hang out with you people."
Ulilah stood up in mounting rage. "Hey! I am not useless, sister!"
"What makes you think you can talk to your team like that, soldier?!" barked Vance.
"Shoot, I'm out of flapjacks." sighed Lemmy.
Any further arguments were silenced when Nate approached his team holding a tray of food and sat down with them. The eight teenagers watched him intently to see if he would take off his mask to eat.
"... What?" asked Nate, noticing their stares.
"Nothing, nothing." Yuka quickly assured.
Ulilah then noticed that the emo's bandaged hands were stained with red. She looked at him in alarm. "Nate, what happened to your hands? And where were you last night?"
Nate just stared back at her and didn't respond. He then got up, took his tray, and left in the direction of the Cargo Hold.
"Attention all passengers!" Chris' voice rang out over the jet's intercom. "We're going to be arriving at our second destination in just a few minutes. So finish up your breakfast and prepare for today's challenge!"
(Confessional- They have NO IDEA what's in store for them.)
Vance- "Kendra's attitude is unacceptable! She has to learn to either shape up, or ship out! In the military, you NEVER insult your brothers and sisters in arms."
Kendra- (Scowling.) "I meant every word that I said. Everyone might boss me around back home, but not here! Not #bleep# again!"
Anthony- "Kendra needs to take a chill pill."
Will- "All my teammates were *twitch* looking at me funny during breakfast. Why? Do I have *twitch* something on my face?"
Jessie- "I think it would be best if I avoided Damien from now on..."
Nate- "What happened to me last night is nobody's business! Not like they really care about my well-being anyway. I would've taken my own life a long time ago, but... suicide is a sin. That's why I'm hoping something in these challenges will kill me."
The Jumbo Jet soon landed on an airstrip on the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan. A small crowd of nearby civilians gathered around the plane, curious as to what was going on.
The boarding ramp lowered and Chris McLean stepped off to bask in the few scattered cheers the crowd gave to him- it seemed at least a couple of people were familiar with the show.
Damien then bolted off the plane and shoved Chris aside before pointing his scythe at the civilians.
"Take heed, all ye mortals! The end of the world is upon us!" he ranted. "No shelter will keep you safe from the pounding floods and gale force winds! The fires of the stars shall rain down upon our earth, incinerating all who stand defiant!"
The crowd just looked at him, confused.
"Oh come on!" Damien fumed. "You people are so lucky I don't know how to speak Japanese!"
"How'd you know we were in Japan?" asked Chris, brushing himself off as the other contestants departed. "I never told you that!"
The doomsayer shrugged. "I just made an assumption. Mostly 'cause that one guy there is wearing a Nintendo T-shirt."
"I could go for some sushi." smiled Jar-Money.
(Confessional- Japan, home of the Ninja Dodge!)
Yuka- (She looks really excited.) "Yay, we're visiting Japan! It might be hard to tell at first glance, but I'm actually part Japanese on my dad's side. It's why I have a Japanese-sounding name. I've even mastered the language!"
Randall- "Man, I'd give anything to jump around on the rooftops of Tokyo!"
A little while later, the teens were riding on a bus that had picked them up at the airstrip. As the bus weaved through the busy city streets of Tokyo, Chris stood up front to explain why they were there.
"Welcome to Japan, everyone! Like last season, our second challenge is going to take place here."
Ellen raised her hand. "Are we going to visit all of the locations from last season? Because that's pretty unoriginal."
"No, we're not!" Chris snapped. "From here on out our destinations will be entirely random. Now are there any more questions, or can I get a move on?"
"Does this challenge involve ice in any way, shape or form?" asked Anthony.
"No, it doesn't."
"Can I try some sushi? I've never had any before." asked Brandi.
"No, we're not stopping for sushi."
"Can I go to the bathroom?" asked Lemmy.
"There's no bathroom on this bus. Hold it in."
"Why did your old boy band suck so much?" asked Jessie.
"I refuse to answer that!"
"What's the square root of 1337?" asked Xerxes.
"How the heck should I know?!"
(Confessional- What color is my underwear?)
Zillah- (Laughing.) "We managed to bug him with stupid questions for the whole ride! I got so much good footage outta that!"
Preston- "Some of those questions were so immature! If I could put those rowdy children in time out, then I would!"
Trixie- (She laughs silently, and falls off the toilet.)
About half an hour and hundreds of pointless questions later, the bus parked in front of the entrance to an enormous stadium with brightly lit neon decorations. The twenty-six contestants looked up at it in awe.
"Wow. Bastante elegante." noted Felipe.
"No Felipe; we're not playing baseball. But we will be playing a kind of sport!" Chris chuckled as he led them inside the stadium. After a few minutes of walking and sightseeing, they emerged in a large circular room with a blue ring painted around the floor.
"This doesn't look like any sporting arena I've ever seen." Malcolm observed.
Chris smirked deviously. "It probably doesn't, Malcolm! Because for today's challenge, you're going to be participating in an old Japanese favorite... I'm talking about sumo wrestling!"
"Awesome!" cheered Olivia. "I get to tackle these losers!"
"You cannot imagine the joy that fills my soul." said Nate flatly.
(Confessional- I'm sure this will be a relatively painless challenge... not!)
Will- "For once I'm *twitch* thankful that Seth and I are on the *twitch* same team... otherwise he would kill me! I just hope that I *twitch* don't go up against that Olivia girl..."
Carmella- "I'm a nurse, not a fighter! And I'm probably going to have my hands full when this challenge is over with."
"So here's how it's going to work!" Chris announced. "I'll call up two random people from different teams. When I hit the gong, then the two wrestlers will have to try to push each other out of the ring using any means necessary. I added that part in for drama purposes! If you get pushed out, then you're eliminated and your team loses a member. The first team to lose all of their members are the overall losers of the challenge, and have to vote someone off. The next team to lose stays in Second Class, and the team that beats everyone else stays in First Class. Are there any questions before we begin?"
Everyone raised their hands.
"Are there any questions that aren't stupid?"
All but a few hands dropped.
"Will gender determine who fights who?" asked Yuka.
"Nope; we can have boy versus boy, boy versus girl, or girl versus girl." explained Chris.
Damien grew very excited at the thought of witnessing a catfight.
"How will you pick *twitch* who goes up against *twitch* who?" asked Will.
"Again, randomly. Sometimes you might be up multiple times in a row if I feel like torturing you! Haha!" the host laughed.
"Can I use the bathroom now?" asked Lemmy, crossing his legs.
Chris sighed. "Sure, but make sure you're back here soon."
Lemmy nodded and ran off to find the lavatory.
"Ya que estamos por un miembro, podemos elegir a alguien para ir dos veces si estás fuera la primera vez?" asked Felipe.
"No Felipe; there will be no panda cubs involved in the challenge this time. I'm sorry if you wanted to hold one." Chris answered in mistranslation.
Felipe sighed heavily and smacked his forehead in frustration.
Chris faced the camera and grinned. "So that's our challenge for the day; the ever-popular sumo wrestling! Who will stand voctorious and who will fall hard? Will Seth and Olivia destroy everyone, or will a hero rise? Will Nate die like he wants to? And how long does it take Lemmy to pee, seriously? Find out all this and more... after the break!"
(Confessional- Let's get ready to rummmmmmblllllllleee!)
Vance- "Since I'm the strongest one on my team, then I have the most responsibility in this challenge. I won't let my comrades down!" (Vance salutes.)
Felipe- "Es realmente tan difícil de entender lo que estoy diciendo?"
Malcolm- "Since Olivia is the only physically strong person on the team, combined with a quick observation of our opposition and the fact that we're short a member, I have reached a logical conclusion: We're screwed."
Ulilah- "So, Kendra thinks I'm useless, does she? Well I'll show her! I'm giving this challenge my all!"
Oh boy, Ulilah's pissed. This should be good. :D
This chapter is shorter than the others, but I think the sheer amount of drama, humor, and overall absurdity makes up for it. And the theme song segment was very fun to write; you guys should try it sometime!
For once, I really don't have much else to say, other than... REVIEW! Honestly, what's the point in writing this if nobody tells me if they like it or not?
Next time- The campers wrestle for glory! Well, most of them do. Some of them just don't care.
