Vesta and the others stood hidden behind some boulders on the Jamaican beach, watching those on the beach.

"What's the plan?" Akari whispered.

"Hold on." Vesta had her eyes on two girls on the beach in particular.

They seemed to be arguing about something. One of them stormed away into the jet and the other flopped into a beach chair, laughing to herself.

Vesta held out the Star in their direction. It glowed green for a moment, then silver.

"Looks like only the Earth and Energy keepers are here..." Aideen observed.

"Then where are the other three?" Deanna asked, impatient.

"Patience, Deanna. We'll find them." Marissa said, putting a hand on her friend's shoulder.

"By the looks of it, those two don't seem to get along very well. How are they going to do the job if they can't even be civil to each other?" Akari asked.

"As I remember it, you and Deanna never got along at first, right?" Vesta replied.

The former Air Keeper smiled in response.

"Are we ready to do this?" Aideen asked the others.

"As ready as we'll ever be." Vesta took a deep breath.

"Time to perform the Time Freeze spell..."


Back on the beach, Gwen was reading a book in her beach chair, while Heather lay stretched out on a towel, trying to get a tan.

"Hello there, chica." Heather looked up to glare at the speaker.

"What do you want, jerk?" Heather snapped.

"I merely wanted to talk to you, Heather. Nothing more." Alejandro held up his hands in surrender and walked away. Heather couldn't help but stare at him as he walked away. As much as she'd hate to admit it, she was attracted to him; his smile, his muscles, his way of playing the game...

"Stop staring, Heather! Get a grip!" she scolded herself mentally. "You can't let a guy distract you from the game! You are here to win this thing!"

She got up, folded her towel and began to go towards the plane when she noticed something odd.

Alejandro had frozen in place, in mid step. When she looked around, she saw that everyone was frozen in the middle of what they were doing.

Chris and Chef were laughing about something, while Courtney stood in front of them, an angry expression on her face. Owen held a coconut to his head while a stream of its water froze just above his mouth. Tyler and Cody were playing volleyball while Sierra watched, cheering the latter on.

It was then that Heather noticed that only one person who wasn't frozen besides herself.

"GWEN WHAT DID YOU DO?"

Gwen looked up from her book to notice Heather storming towards her. She took a moment to look around and then replied.

"I didn't do a thing! You must be cause of all the strange things happening to me!"

"Happening to you? What about me?"

"You? What happened to the time that the plane's power went off? You did something to that light switch!"

"Me? How could I have done that! I was in First Class! What about you? You must've done something to that tree!"

"What tree? Was that your imagination?"

"No, no it was not."

The old Keepers stepped out from behind the rocks.

To Gwen and Heather, these people radiated pure power and on the inside, they felt a little intimidated by them. Yet, they felt as if they had some sort of connection...

"Those things that you are able to do; those were nor pranks or accidents." Vesta explained

"Who are you?" Heather asked.

"How do you know about 'those things'?" Gwen added.

"Simple, we used to do those things as well." Aideen answered.

"Oh yeah? Show us." Heather folded her arms.

Deanna held her arm behind her and a coconut tree behind them extended towards them. She flicked her hand and the tree flung back to its original position, not before a few coconuts fell off it.

Vesta put up a visible silver shield and the coconuts fell to the ground without harming them.

"Wow." Gwen mumbled in amazement.

"Who are you people anyway, and why should we trust you!" Heather asked sharply.

"Watch your tone!" Deanna replied, raising an eyebrow.

Heather raised an eyebrow right back at her.

"She has a right to know, Deanna! We will explain everything when we find three more of you. Now, are there any females that have left this show recently?" Vesta answered urgently.

"Yeah. Izzy left the most recently..." Gwen trailed off as the Star glowed red.

Aideen shuddered.

"What is that?" Heather asked puzzled.

"It is called the Silver Star. It helped us find you and apparently this Izzy is one of the others we are looking for..." Marissa answered.

"Why are you looking for us?" Gwen asked.

"That will be explained when we find all five of you." Vesta replied.

"Now, who are the others that have left?" Aideen asked.

"Lindsay..." the Star glowed white. Akari face-palmed and the others looked at her curiously.

"Bridgette..." the Star glowed light blue. Marissa raised an eyebrow.

"We know who you all are then!" Vesta exclaimed eagerly.

"Just be glad we found you before Radcliffe did..." Deanna muttered.

"Who's Radcliffe?" the two girls asked.

"One of the main reasons we have these powers." Akari answered.

"And he's someone you wouldn't like to meet alone..." Aideen shuddered.

"And now we have you, we must go to the others and we shall be able explain everything once you all are together. It's better than having to repeat the whole long story..." Marissa said.

"Where would they be?" Akari asked.

"Probably the Aftermath studio or Playa De Losers 2 otherwise known as the townhouse that was rented for us in Total Drama Action..." Heather answered. "That's where we all stay until the show is over when we're eliminated..."

"Then that is our next destination. Stand back please." Vesta said calmly.

Gwen and Heather slowly backed away.

Vesta once again made a portal and gestured for them to enter.

"After you, future Keepers!"

"Future what?" Heather exclaimed.

"Just get in the portal Heather, dammit!" Gwen yelled.

"How do you know we can trust these people?" Heather asked.

"I just know, alright!" Gwen shouted, pushing her through.

Akari and Deanna chuckled, watching this in amusement as they followed. "Energy Instinct activated, huh?" Aideen whispered to them. They all smiled knowingly.


Back at PDL2, Bridgette, Izzy and Lindsay were all freaking out at seeing everything all around them frozen in mid-motion.

Bridgette had been making out with Geoff when suddenly he froze on top of her.

"Mmph! Geoff! Geoff!" she mumbled.

He fell off her, as still as a statue in the same position he was before.

"GEOFF!" Bridgette jumped up and started shaking him.

When it didn't work Bridgette did something very out of character for her.

She swore.

Long and loudly.


Izzy meanwhile was watching a movie with Katie, Sadie, Eva and DJ when she noticed that the movie had suddenly stopped. No one had touched the remote (because she hid it!); no one had gone near the T.V. so the only cause was...

"The ALIENS ARE COMING BACK FOR ME!" she shrieked, running around the room, grabbing various implements she could use as weapons such as legs off a table, a bucket for a helmet, a scimitar (now where did she possibly find that?), etc.

It was then she noticed that it was not only the television that was frozen, but also her friends.

"Katie?" she shook her. No results.

"Sadie?" Same result.

"DJ?" she shook him harder. Still nothing.

She then proceeded carefully over to Eva.

"EVA? EVA? EVVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" she shook her so violently that her still body fell off the couch.

"Oh no! IRON WOMAN HAS FALLEN! WE'RE ALL DOOMED!" Izzy shrieked as she ran out of the room.


Lindsay, in the meantime was getting a manicure in the hotel salon with Beth and Leshawna. She was getting her nails painted in Royal Purple, Beth had chosen Princess Pink and Leshawna had picked Lushalicious Lemon. She and the others were having a conversation about the contest so far.

"I'm so rooting for Tyler to win! I mean, he'd totally deserve it!" she had squealed.

"Girl, that's all fine and dandy for you, but all I care is that neither Heather nor Alejandro wins that thing!" Leshawna said. "They're both horrible!"

"That's so true. Neither of them deserves to have that million bucks!" Beth exclaimed.

Their manicures had now been finished and Lindsay got up and began to walk away, expecting Beth and Leshawna to follow.

However, she saw them both frozen in position as they got up from the manicuring stations, as well as the nail technicians.

Being as, well-slow as she was, you'd have expected her not to notice anything out of the ordinary here, but even she knew something was wrong with this situation.

"Betty?" she went up to Beth and waved her newly-manicured hand in front of her face in an effort to get her attention. It didn't work.

"Lefonda? ?" she yelled, shaking Leshawna. Nothing happened.

She did the same to the nail technicians and got no response from them either.

"Oh my gosh! We're being turned into statues! I don't want to be a statue! Statues are ugly!" she screamed in fright and ran from the room in a panic.


After all that had occurred, Bridgette had ran to the pool to see if there was anyone else frozen there. Everyone on the pool deck was frozen in the middle of whatever they were doing.

"No, no, no, no, NO!" she yelled in frustration, tearing at her hair. "What's happening!" she shrieked.

"Izzy wants to know the same thing!" Izzy shrieked into the surfer girl's ear, suddenly appearing behind her.

"Hey! Izzy, what was that for!" Bridgette yelled, rubbing her ear in pain.

"Never mind that! We must search for survivors! Leave no man or woman behind, for this war against aliens shall be an epic one, and we shall need as many soldiers as possible!" Izzy yelled, scampering around the pool deck checking each and every person there, getting no reactions from them.

"Survivors? What do you mean survivors? No one has died... right?" Bridgette asked nervously.

"Not that Izzy knows..."

"That's good at least..." Bridgette sank into a nearby chair.

"What do we do now?" a voice called from the doorway. Izzy and Bridgette looked up to see Lindsay walking towards them, looking worried.

"Another survivor!" Izzy yelled, getting up to glomp Lindsay in happiness.

"Lindsay, what happened with you?" Bridgette asked, urgently.

"I was getting manicures with Betty and Lefonda in the salon, when suddenly they froze like statues!" Lindsay said, shaking. "I tried and tried to snap them out of it, but it wouldn't work!" Lindsay wailed.

Bridgette rested a comforting hand on Lindsay's shoulder. "Don't worry, Lindsay, we'll figure out what's behind this!"

"Thanks Bethany!" Lindsay sniffled.

"It's Bridgette." Bridgette corrected her.

"Enough with the small talk! We must solve- the case of the frozen statue people!" Izzy exclaimed, suddenly wearing a Sherlock-like hat and carrying a magnifying glass.


While all of that was going on, Gwen, Heather and the former Keepers had appeared in the lobby in a flash of silver light.

"This is the 'Playa De Losers 2' of which you spoke, correct?" Vesta asked, turning to Heather.

Heather just stood there stunned at the fact that just minutes ago she was standing on a Jamaican beach, but was now standing in the lobby of a Canadian hotel.

She blinked twice. "Oh, uh, yeah. It is." She stammered.

"You have GOT to teach me how to do that!" Gwen pleaded with Vesta.

She and the other Old Keepers laughed.

"Don't worry. It's one of your powers! You will learn all about it in time. But for now we must find the other..." Vesta trailed off as Izzy came running down the stairs shrieking, Bridgette and Lindsay close behind.

Izzy screeched to a halt and tumbled down the rest of the staircase as soon as she caught sight of Gwen, Heather and the Old Keepers.

Bridgette saw this too late and tripped over Izzy.

Lindsay saw Bridgette trip too late and fell over on top of Bridgette and Izzy, who all eventually fell to the bottom of the staircase screaming.

"Oww... Izzy what was that... Oh, wow..." Bridgette trailed off as she looked up to see the new arrivals, who were all looking at them incredulously. Gwen raised an eyebrow.

"Now I see what they mean by you being a klutz!" Gwen chuckled. Izzy got up, brushed herself off and helped up the two blondes.

"That wasn't my fault! It was Izzy's!" Bridgette complained, rubbing her arm. She stopped in the middle of what she was doing as soon as she realized who she was she was talking to and gaped at her.

"Gw-Gw-Gwen?" she stammered. "How-how-d-d-did you get here? And Heather?" Bridgette continued.

Lindsay looked up and her jaw fell open. "Who are those people behind you, Greta? And how'd you get there? Aren't you supposed to be stuck in Jamaica?" Lindsay asked, confused.

"Oh sure. Ignore me! Heather huffed, turning her back to them. "Same as usual!"

Izzy waved her off. "Who are you?" Izzy asked, surprisingly calm, eyeing the people behind her suspiciously.

"Us? We are the Keepers of the Elements. Or at least soon to be former Keepers anyway." Vesta answered.

"Keepers of the Elements?" Bridgette asked, skeptical.

"Yes. We all have powers over the elements, which were granted to us to help maintain the balance of good and evil in all realms."Akari answered.

"That balance is going to tip soon, and we must be ready to combat it." Vesta added.

"Your powers have been activated, meaning that this can occur at any time. This is why we come to you now." Marissa stepped forward, adding her piece to the conversation.

"Haven't you been able to do, well, strange things lately?" Aideen asked.

"Wait, wait, wait. We have powers over the elements?" Izzy laughed. "And I thought I was crazy!"

"You ARE crazy, Izzy!" Heather snapped.

"How is that even possible?" Bridgette asked.

"I swore I heard you say something about realms. But I thought... Huh?" Lindsay was even more confused.

"What she means was that how can there be more than one realm of existence? Is it really true? Is it even possible?" Gwen interpreted.

"You want proof? We'll give you proof!" Akari noticed Izzy's broken magnifying glass on the floor. She held out her hand toward it and it floated to her.

Lindsay stood there, mystified.

"I can do that!" she exclaimed. She pointed towards a pen on the check-in desk that the clerk had been using before she herself had been frozen; it floated towards her and landed perfectly in her hand.

"See?" Deanna asked proudly.

"Which one of you can control water?" Bridgette asked.

"I can." Marissa stepped forward. She pointed her hand toward a nearby bucket of water. The water it contained soon started to swirl around in the air.

Bridgette just stared, before she pointed a finger to it and it froze in mid-air. She clenched her hand and the water unfroze and fell back into place. Marissa nodded approvingly.

"So this must mean it's my turn!" Aideen exclaimed. She stepped forward and made a ball of fire, tossing it between her hands as if it were an ordinary ball.

"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! MY TURN! MY TURN!" Izzy shrieked, scooping the fire out of Aideen's hands and twirling it around into different shapes. As she was doing it slipped out of her hands and set the floor on fire.

"Izzy!" Gwen said, exasperatedly. "Must you set everything on fire?" she groaned as Marissa stepped forward to put it out.

"Only if it belongs to the RCMP..." Heather muttered under her breath.

"RCMP! WHERE!" Izzy shrieked.

"What does the RCMP have to do with anything?" Deanna asked.

"Oh. Isa is number eight on their most wanted list!" Lindsay exclaimed.

"Oh no. She's wanted!" Aideen shrieked.

Vesta face-palmed while Deanna shook her head.

"What did she do that was so bad?" Marissa asked out of curiosity.

"Oh. I only went A.W.O.L. following an explosive accident while serving in the reserves..." Izzy said, nonchalantly.

"Oh yeah. Give the psycho hose beast the element of fire. Great idea! NOT..." Heather declared. "If she's supposed to save the world with that, we're all going to be doomed!" she moaned.

"So if they all have powers of the elements, that doesn't quite explain what I am..." Gwen said confused.

"Water, fire, earth and air aren't the only elements that exist, you know. There is also a fifth; that of energy. This is the element that we both share." Vesta explained to the Goth.

"It is also the most powerful of the five; for without energy, how can the other elements exist?" Vesta continued.

"Wait, wait, wait. You're saying that not only do I have power over an element, but that I got the most powerful one?" Gwen said, disbelieving.

"I'm still confused," Lindsay interrupted them. "You still haven't told us who you are!" Lindsay declared.

"You know, Lindsay's right! Who are you really?" Bridgette asked.

"She's right you know." Marissa said.

"Oh right! How rude of us!" Vesta apologized. "I am Vesta, the former Keeper of Energy."

"Marissa, former Keeper of Water." Marissa said.

"I am Aideen, former Keeper of Fire." Aideen said.

"My name is Deanna, and I was the Keeper of Earth." Deanna declared.

"I'm Akari, the past Keeper of Air." Akari finished.

"So, now that we know your names, can we please get a proper explanation of this whole Keeper thing? I mean, I still don't quite understand this thing. I mean, were there Keepers before you? Who were they? How did Keepers come into being?" Bridgette asked.

"Bridgette's right. Why us?" Izzy asked.

"I agree with Isa." Lindsay declared.

"And for once, I agree with them all!" Heather exclaimed.

"Is there a place where we can talk? For the story of Keepers is a long and interesting one." Vesta asked.

"Yeah, sure. There's the lounge..." Bridgette trailed off.

"I left DJ, Katie, Sadie and Eva in there though..." Izzy said.

"It does not matter; they will not be able to hear us. We shall go there!" Marissa declared.

"Agreed. Now hold on for a sec while I go get Nasira and Hasim..." Vesta trailed off as a familiar flash of purple appeared in the lobby.

"I hate it when they do that!" Aideen shrieked.

"Get used to it, because we're going to be doing it a lot more that you've found them..." Nasira said, suddenly appearing behind her husband.

"She scares me!" Lindsay whispered to Izzy, who nodded fervently. Bridgette, Gwen and Heather also looked intimidated.

"So these are the new Keepers, huh?" Hasim smiled.

"Okay, I'm not scared of him!" Lindsay declared.

"I'm Hasim, and this is my lovely wife, Nasira." Hasim introduced them.

"Strange how such a cheerful-looking man like Hasim ever fell in love with such a scary-looking woman..." Heather whispered to Gwen, who for once agreed with the queen bee, nodding.

"Nasira here is the Mistress of Time." Deanna explained. "Both she and her husband are Immortals; they have seen many things!" Aideen said.

"Including having met all of the past Keepers, as you might have guessed." Marissa added.

"So they will help us tell you everything about how you got your powers..."

"I have a question." Heather said, raising her hand.

"Can't it wait?" Deanna asked, annoyed.

"No, not really, Deanna." Heather said.

"Your question is important, Heather, I agree, but we will answer that later. Now let's go to this 'lounge' that you spoke of!" Nasira said.

Bridgette led the way and everyone else followed.

"How did she know what I wanted to ask?" Heather whispered to Gwen, both at the back of the group.

Gwen thought for a moment. "She saw it. I'm guessing since she's the Mistress of Time, she can see the past, present and future, including what you were going to ask..."

Heather blinked. "Okay... This whole thing is so weird..."

"You said it, sister!" Izzy shrieked from behind them, startling the two.

"IZZY!" Gwen and Heather yelled, chasing her towards the lounge, as she ran off screaming and cackling madly.
