"Time: Unknown. Location: Unknown. Crime: Destruction of an Incan Monument. Culprit: To be determined." A narrator's voice spoke out, the sound of a typewriter clicking in the background.
The screen fades to show the cast of the show surrounded. Incan warriors pointed their spears at the outsiders. The steady beating of war drums echoes throughout the stone temple. Zac hid behind Mana while Rhonda was discussing terms with the larger Inca who had a feathered headdress. The co-host turned back to Zac with a gloomy face. "They require a sacrifice. Someone needs to be given up in order for the rest of us to be let go."
"Ok!" Zac bounced back up, his hair magically springing to attention with him. "Hannah you go!"
"WHAT!?" She jumped into Colin's arms. "I'm not ready to die yet! I haven't gotten to play the new Pokemon yet!" She turned to Sam. "Take him instead!"
The Incan leader nodded approvingly, "We like!"
"COLIN! SAVE ME!" Sam screamed, and jumped into Colin's other arm. The american stared at the two in his arms.
"I'm not this strong," He groaned as the three crashed to the floor. The Incan warriors laughed and threw fruit at Colin.
Fleur stepped in front of her team. "Stick together! We refuse to be, uh, err" she pulled out a knife and pretended to stab her chest."
"Sacrificed?" Viola said flatly. "Actually… That sounds like a great idea, I'd finally get out of being on this soap opera." She turned to the trio on the floor, both Hannah and Sam had wrapped themselves around Colin who desperately tried to get back up.
"Fine with me!" Zac grinned. "You guys lost the challenge anyways."
"Might I suggest…" Mana pulled out a detective's hat and magnifying glass, "We find the team responsible and then offer a sacrifice based off of that?"
Rhonda nodded, "Their leader agrees. We have until the Moon starts to set to figure out exactly what happened." She walked closer to both Mana and Zac, and whispered "We need to get everyone off of this island." The pair nodded. The warriors rested their weapons, and just stood in a circle around the sailors.
Mana walked over to Pillaging Pirates. "Where were you before this whole thing started?" He looked at Zaina. The team captain sighed, before she started to recount her story.
The scene fades to purple, a chibi version of Zaina appears in the bottom left corner. The purple fades to black and white, revealing the Pillaging Pirates, pirate ship. Zaina is shown to wake up in her cabin, beside her is a picture of Lexi she turned to it, whispered she was sorry before she got out of bed. She walked towards the door of her cabin and waited, hearing voices.
"What were you doing in lady Sarah's room?" Tameron asked, as he scrubbed the cabin floor, and watched Elyar as exited the singers room and stretched.
The secret agent put his shades onto his face, "She had night terrors. I did what any man would do and helped her sleep."
The butler nodded, "Was it him again?" Elyar nodded back. The door opened and Sarah walked out, "Good morning, lady Sarah."
"Gooooood morning," she sang softly. She turned to Elyar and gave him a hug before she walked back up the stairs.
Zaina walked out of her bedroom and strutted past the two boys towards Sarah. She wrapped her arms around the girl. "Don't worry. The nightmares go away. Believe me." She looked into Sarah's dim eyes who smiled back.
"Thank you… But I think it's just beginning." She whimpered and continued her ascend to the deck of the ship.
Wing hung from the sail ropes, and yelled at their captain. "ARR! Zaina me captain, I be thinking!" She dropped down, driving her knife straight through the floor. "Ooops." She muttered before turning back to Zaina. "Ye should join me crew!" Wing pulled out a Captain's Hat from her jacket and placed it on the flower girls head. "It fits!"
Zaina blinked. "Arrr!" She grinned and gave her friend a giant hug.
"Aye! Let us begin the sacred ritual to Cthulhu!" Wing pulled out two bananas from her hat and smushed them in her hands. She rubbed the mush across Zaina's face with two fingers creating two stripes. She whispered words into the wind before she grabbed Zaina and threw her overboard.
(CONF): Zaina stood behind the wheel, her pirate hat sitting proudly on her head. "I will sail the seven seas, and I will find a treasure worthy of Lexi's heart."
The screen faded back to the present, as Zaina's chibi icon vanished. "Is that what you were doing in the water" Yasmin questioned.
"Yes?" Zaina replied.
"I had to get up from my book to go help you out of the water because captain crazy threw you overboard? This is illogical. There is no documentation that, THAT is how you appease Cthulhu anyways."
Wing growled. "For the ocean we please. They," She pointed at the Sirens, "Made not an offering, and now we be here!"
"Like it wasn't our fault!" Cherry burst out. "We were totally trapped!"
Mana turned back to Yasmin, "Continue explaining how your team got here."
The screen fades back to purple. A chibi version of Yasmin appeared in the corner. It fades to black and white and the Zaina is shown drenched in water on the ship's deck. "Welcome to me crew." Wing grinned and walked away from Zaina who was coughing up water.
Yasmin looked down at her leader and sighed, "If you are attempting to kill yourself I know of much faster ways."
Zaina's eyes glossed over as she looked up at Yasmin, "It's not that." She sighed and walked off.
"Finally," Yasmin smiled. "Peace and quiet. She crawled to the floor, and put her back up against the mast and pulled out her book. She placed her cup of coffee to her side.
"Is it story time already!?" Sarah chimed out as she plopped herself down beside Yasmin.
Elyar sat on the other side. "I love a good story. Great for the battle field."
The scholar looked up at the pair. "You're not going to leave until I read this to you are you?" The pair shook their heads. "Fine." Elyar pulled out a white blanket and pulled Sarah in to snuggle. "The kingdom was always a peaceful place. It was off of the maps, and any explorer who found it kept the kingdom a secret in order to keep the peace. The people were kind and beautiful. But this new ship, it wasn't much like the others. There was a lone pirate who sailed it. He was brave and courageous. His maroon clothes were slightly tattered but his captain's hat was intact, it bore his crest a set…." Yasmin gasped and closed the book. She picked herself up, "That's all for today!" She muttered and rushed off.
"Arrrr!" Wing cheered out, "We be here!" She announced as the ship pulled onto the sandy beach of their destination.
Sarah turned to Elyar and shrugged, "I wonder what happened?"
Elyar nodded. "I'm sure we'll find out sometime! Come on, let's go!" The teen smiled and pulled on Sarah's hand as he rushed to the beach to meet the hosts.
"It's about time you got here!" Zac groaned as he got up from his towel where he was tanning. "We've been waiting! I almost got a sunburn!" As the host got up, Mana stopped waving a giant leaf to cool him off.
"You know you really don't have to do that, right?" Rhonda whispered, as she raised an eyebrow. "It's not like Zac's going to abandon you on some island if you don't as some strange sacrifice to Cthululululu or whatever."
"Anyways," Zac announced. "Our best experts," Zac pointed to Rhonda and Mana who both pulled out glasses, "believe that this used to be an island that was settled by the Inca. Today, your challenge will be to bring back an ancient treasure, whoever brings back the worst treasure- or doesn't will lose the challenge." The host started to walk off.
Once he was out of earshot, Rhonda spoke up, "If you guys can't find anything, then I hope you're good at crafting stuff! We tried our best, but the Inca have been lost for centuries." She gave a shy smile before she followed Zac. Mana stared at the contestants, and then ran after the hosts.
The pirates all stared at Zaina who was observing one of the flowers on the ground. "This one is so pretty," She picked up the fragile purple flower.
Tameron walked up behind her, "Fragile, but resistant, and ever-so beautiful. Reminds me of someone," he smiled gave her a pat on the back.
She turned back to the rest of the team, and noticed that the other teams were already gone. "Today, we win!
Wing jumped in front of the others, "Follow me! I know my treasures well!" She announced and sent a wink towards Tameron.
As Wing led the group, Yasmin rushed up beside her, breathing heavily. "Wing? May I ask a question, for my research?" The pirate simply nodded. "Your crest, the wings? What do they mean? Why did you choose it?"
The pirate stopped. "Do ye hear that?" She whispered, and pulled Yasmin into a brush, the rest of the team was only a few feet behind them.
"You didn't answer my question!" Yasmin groaned as she tumbled into the foliage.
Out of nowhere, darts flew at the rest of the team, knocking Elyar, Sarah, Tameron and Zaina out. "Shhh!" Wing growled and moved her hand over Yasmin's mouth. The pair waited in silence as they watched their teammates get dragged off by buff men in feathered outfits.
"Were those…" Yasmin asked as she flipped through the pages of a book. "The Inca?"
Wing growled. "It's because they didn't offer a sacrifice to Cthulhu. We can still live. Just don't be touching ANYTHING."
"But this could be the find of the century!" Yasmin argued.
"Finders keepers? No. Be found and be kept. SHHH!" Wing muttered as she dragged Yasmin behind her. "We be rescuing me crew!"
The scene fades back to the present, Yasmin's chibi icon disappeared. "See? We didn't touch anything." Yasmin said flatly, while glaring at Wing.
Mana stepped closer. "OBJECTION! Your story proves nothing." The intern stepped towards Sarah who cowered as the man approached. "Your turn."
The screen faded back to purple, a chibi version of Sarah appeared in the bottom corner. The screen jumps to black and white. Sarah shook Elyar who was asleep beside her. "Wake up! Elyar? Please? I can't do this alone right now." The singer sighed as she watched from inside a giant cage. The Incans were preparing a giant bonfire.
Zaina turned to Sarah, "It will be ok. I promise." She gave the girl a hug, and offered her a flowery bracelet. "It brings peace." Sarah nodded.
"Would that be sir Sam?" Tameron questioned as he looked through the cage, at a teen who seemed to be in close quarters with the head chief.
"He looks like he's in trouble!" Sarah groaned. "We're going to die here!" She moved her hand to cover her mouth.
Elyar woke up, and instantly jumped to his feet. "Fear not. They can do nothing to us here." The secret agent pulled out a badge and called for one of the Incas to come over. He revealed the badge, and the Incan nodded and ran off. The cage was shortly lifted off of the four. Elyar walked over to Sarah and offered his hand. "I won't let anything happen to you."
"I'm sorry, but what just happened?" Tameron questioned and stared at Elyar.
"I am part of an elusive group of agents." He started, "I'm afraid that is all I can tell you without killing you." He flashed a charming smile before he started to walk off with Sarah. "Come on, I want to show you something."
Tameron sighed, "I hear you've joined the pirates. May I ask why?" He turned to Zaina who shrugged.
"Wing makes me feel like I belong. I have a purpose with her."
The screen switched back to follow Elyar and Sarah. "This island is one of the islands under my protection," he whispered softly. "A number of islands throughout the world are home to a wide range of tribes and kingdoms that have either been… forgotten or never discovered. This one is where the Incas were relocated." The pair arrived at a giant wood port. "Many years ago, agents brought them here to preserve them." He pointed up at a giant statue of man in tattered clothes. "Aile."
Sarah stared at the statue it was at least four times bigger than either of them. "Was that his name? Was he the one who brought them here?"
Elyar nodded, "Yes. The Inca look up to him like a god now. He saved them, and now, it is part of my job to keep them safe."
"You're not going to kill me, right?" She giggled and hugged her friend.
He shook his head. "No, but I do need to go explain what has happened. Stay here, ok?" She nodded as he walked away.
Sarah sat as she watched the waves crash against the wooden dock. She heard sounds and turned, "Youri?" She asked as a petite person raced across the dock, they stopped and looked at her briefly before they ran off again. When she turned back around, a hooded man was there.
The screen fades back to the present. "Enough!" Zac growled. "This isn't getting us anywhere move on to the next team." Sarah looked up at Zac briefly before she returned her gaze to the ground.
"Fine!" Mana turned to The Killer Sharks. "Start your story, Trixie."
"I mean… if you insist." She shrugged.
The screen fades to blue, and then fades into black and white as chibi version of Trixie appeared in the corner. Angel, Malia and Trixie are in a cabin together. "Finally some girl talk!" Angel grinned as the three girls sat on their beds.
"What is girl talk?" Malia questioned as she stared at the other two.
"You know? Where we talk about things that we don't want the guys to hear." Trixie smiled. Malia still looked confused, so Trixie started. "Like how I think that Alfie is really, really adorable and hot!" Malia giggled.
"Oh yes, yes! I understand!"
"We already know that Angel doesn't have place in heart for anyone besides Cody Simpson…" Trixie started.
"Hey now! I can make it room if I really wanted to! But I don't because he loves me!"
"Yeah, ok." Trixie forced a smile, "but what about you Malia? Is there a guy here that you like?"
Malia blushed. "Well… My parents would NEVER approve but…"
"GIRLS? Where are you? We're almost there." Emmett shouted out as the three giggled.
"We'll continue this later!" Trixie smiled and ran out of the room.
Emmett stared at Trixie, "You missed our morning training!"
"Sorry!" Trixie sighed, "It was just nice to hang with the girls."
"We need to make sure the team is performing the best…." The muscular leader sighed, "Alfie was looking for you." She lit up slightly before wandering over to wear the blond boy was.
"Trixie!" Alfie beamed and gave his friend a hug. "You weren't there for boot camp! Were you sick? Do you want candy? It always makes me feel better!? I don't want you to be sad!" He quickly said, handing her a candy bracelet. "Smile Trixie!"
Trixie giggled. "I'm feeling better already." She attached the bracelet to her wrist. "Where do you even keep all of this?" She asked.
"All of my candy?" He replied and looked around to make sure that nobody was looking. He leaned in close to Trixie and whispered, "The treasure chests!"
"Clever!"
A barrel crashed against the deck. "You need to drop your attitude Youri. You're going to drag the whole team down." Emmett stated between his teeth.
"You need to stop thinking you're in control here!"
Emmett sighed. "I am doing what's best for the team. I don't want any of us to go home."
"No. YOU don't want to go home. Stop trying to make this seem like it's about us as a team! You just want to prove your blood-sucking thing of a girlfriend that you're not a total farm-boy loser!"
Malia whimpered as she arrived onto the deck. "Guys? Please stop, fighting is not the answer. Think of what your families would think. This is not how we do things."
Angel jumped behind her, "Agreed! Let's just go down there and win this challenge, and forget this ever happened ok?"
"Who asked you?" Emmett and Youri both growled out and stared at the two girls.
The screen returned to the present. "I hope we make it out of here alive," Zac muttered to Rhonda.
"Me too! I don't know what Toby or Jenny would do without me!"
Zac groaned at the names, "Don't tell me those two are going to be your co-hosts? Are you trying to ruin the Total Drama brand?"
Rhonda stuck her tongue out at Zac, "Don't treat me like a child!"
"Don't act like one then." He pulled out a mirror and adjusted his hair, "Do I look ok?" Rhonda rolled her eyes.
The screen fades back to blue, and then to black and white. A chibi version of Emmett appeared in the bottom of the screen. "I like can not believe that like he just passed out!" Angel gasped dramatically.
"At Least you won't fight anymore," Malia shrugged.
"It's not my fault. He started it!" Emmett chuckled.
Trixie nodded, "It doesn't matter I'll carry Youri, let's just get going. I don't want to lose this challenge!"
Alfie's nose perked up, "Do you smell that?"
"Smell what?" Angel asked confused.
"SUGAR!" He cheered out and raced through the forest. His team chasing after him.
"Alfie! Come back, this isn't a good idea!" Emmett shouted.
"My nose never lies!"
Angel piped up, "I believe him! It's like that one time I lost Cody in the West-Ed mall, and I had to spend forever trying to find him. But then I remembered I had a gps tracker in his shoe!"
Malia whispered to her friend, "What does that have to do with smelling?"
"Cody smelt sooooo good!" Angel giggled and hugged her friend.
"Are those two even for real?" Trixie giggled as she and Emmett chased after Alfie.
Emmett shrugged. "Angel at least has wits about her, Malia… I don't know she just seems so out of place."
The cowgirl nodded, "She is a little off…. Isn't she." She sighed.
"MY NOSE LIED TO ME!" Alfie gasped stuck a lollipop into his mouth. "Oh…. It was prolly just my lollipop." He turned back to his team. "Sorry guys, all that's here is a giant temple of some sorts." He started to walk back towards his team.
"Way to go Alfie! You might have just won us the challenge!" Emmett grinned and gave the boy a giant hug. "Come on!"
Alfie whispered, "But there's no candy in there! And I'm almost out!" He pulled on his pockets to reveal all he had left was a few pieces of licorice. "I won't make it man!"
Trixie handed Alfie his candy bracelet, "Here."
Alfie's face lit up. "Are you sure? Do you really mean it?" She nodded. Alfie wrapped his arms around Trixie. "Thank you!" He started to munch on the bracelet.
"Let's go!" Emmett announced.
The screen fades back to the present. "You mean, you knew we weren't alone on the island, and you still chose to go into the scary temple of death?" Mana questioned, shocked.
"Yeppers! That's exactly what we did!" Youri rolled his eyes, and Emmett elbowed him.
"Is that where you found this?" Rhonda pointed to her head dress. And the Killer Sharks all nodded.
Zac grinned, "Now that's a story I want to hear!"
A chibi version of Malia appeared on the screen as it faded to blue, and then to black and white. "It's really dark in here," Malia whispered as she clung to Angel.
Angel pulled out a lighter and lit it, giving the team some light. Her team turned to her questionly, "What? How else am I supposed to get past Cody's security?" She turned to a torch on the wall and lit it aflame and handed it to Emmett.
"My parents would never approve of our friendship," Malia giggled and she intertwined her arm with Angel's. "You're far too adventurous."
"I just like having fun is all," Angel shrugged. She handed Malia a lit torch, and marveled at the way the light reflected off of her hijab. "That's really beautiful," she commented.
Malia blushed. "Thank you, I made it myself."
"AHH!" Alfie shouted as the ground beneath him shattered. Trixie quickly lassoed him, and Emmett helped pull him back up.
"Is this… safe?" Malia asked.
"We'll be fine. You can wait outside if you want." Emmett offered. "It shouldn't be too much farther."
"I'm sorry team… It's just I can't." She whimpered and made her way out of the temple.
"That wasn't part of the plan!" A voice argued.
"What plan? This is MY plan. MY idea, you're just part of it!"
"But he was actually totally nice! He so didn't deserve that!" Malia listened carefully, trying to match the voices to the other contestants, but she couldn't.
"Why are you even doing this to yourself?"
"I have my reasons, and you have yours! Just stick to the plan."
"Do you really think he's going to fall for it?"
"I know he will."
"RUN MALIA RUN!" Trixie shouted, as she grabbed onto the small girl. The rest of the Sharks racing behind her. "It's going to crash!" She quickly added, as they rushed down the stairs.
On Angel's head was a feathered headdress. "Do I look amazing or what?" She giggled once they made it out of range of the crumbling temple.
The screen returned to the present. The blue sky had started to make way for the orange of dusk. "So you destroyed an entire temple?" Mana questioned.
"Yes," Emmett replied, "But not the statue! My entire team was with us. We had nothing to do with it."
Zac spoke up, "He was a point. They," he looked over to where the Inca were sharpening their spears, "Want us to offer up whoever destroyed the statue. They either don't care about the temple… or don't know. Let's not remind them."
Mana turned to the Hotties. "Your turn. Speak up now, or forever be guilty."
"Oh boy… You may as well slaughter us all know." Viola started. The screen turned to a golden yellow, and a chibi Viola appeared in the corner of the screen. The colour faded to black and white as Viola sat on the stairs that led up to the deck where the wheel was.
"Day three. My teammates are insane. I am now certain I am on the new season of Degrassi. With great and emotionally deep characters, such as Fleur. The girl from Paris who unknowingly accepted to go on a date with Colin. May her soul find peace after Hannah and Sam are done with her. Sam and Hannah, thirsty gay and thirsty psycho. Colin. The American who is seemingly attractive, but oblivious to everything around him." Viola stared at the camera before biting into her apple. "And me, Viola. Only normal member of the team." A loud scream was pierced the air, and Viola turned to the sound. "It looks like Hannah and Sam just found out that Fleur and Colin are on a date. Good luck Fleur."
The screen followed Viola as she walked down the stairs and into the cabins below. Hannah and Sam were yelling at one another. "WHAT! Do you mean he's on a date with HER?" Hannah huffed.
Sam groaned as he did a quick rep of pushups, trying to get his muscles to glisten in his sweat. "I just woke up, and Colin wasn't there! There I saw him with FLOWERS going to HER room! She must be stopped, we can't let this happen!" He jumped to his feet. "He loves me!"
The gamer slapped Sam. "Don't you dare! My hotness level is WAY higher than yours ever will be! Besides, you're a guy! He's totally straight!"
The gay teen stared at her. "Just you watch little missy." Sam grabbed his shirt and wiped the sweat off of himself, and then tossed the dirty laundry at his team captain. "I have a plan."
"Same here!" Hannah growled as she raced past Viola. "Shouldn't you be steering the ship?"
Viola's face turned white as the ship rocked back and forth, "Ooops."
"Oww!" Voices called out from one of the cabins nearby. Viola walked towards the room, and opened the door. In front of her, Colin, Fleur, Hannah, and Sam who was still shirtless were in a dog pile in the centre of the room. A small table, flowers and steak was spread across the floor.
"Why wasn't I invited to the team orgy." Viola sighed, and went to help Fleur up.
Fleur was blushing, "We were in the eating of breakfast, when Sam and Hannah joined us. I asked them if you would be in the joining of us, but they said died." Fleur blinked. "And then," she motioned around the room, "caput." She sighed and wrapped her arms around Viola who groaned and stared into the camera.
Colin was blushing as he tried to get out from beneath both Sam and Hannah but they weren't budging. "Hello? Are you alive?"
Sam groaned, "I think my mouth is injured, can you feel it for me?"
"If I could move." Colin muttered back, and Sam jumped to his feet. "That's what I thought," He winked at Sam who blushed. Hannah still didn't move.
"I think she died. We're finally free!" Viola said cheerfully.
"Does anyone know CPR?" Colin gasped as he shoved the girl off of him. The contestants stared at each other before Sam begrudgingly stepped forward.
"I hate my life." He groaned as he got down onto his knees and performed the kiss of life. Hannah's eyes lit up as their lips touched, she slapped the teen and ran away. "You're welcome." He rolled his eyes and turned to Colin. "How was your date?"
Fleur's eyes went wide. "D-date? Is what?"
Colin winced, "You mean… you didn't know this whole time?" The american's face went red as he slapped himself.
Viola stared into the camera. "See? Such a diverse and deep team."
The screen returned to colour as Zac groaned. "Ok. We get it, you don't like your team."
Fleur frowned and gave Viola a giant hug, "This can not be in the truth!" With her touch, Viola's eye twitched.
"Friendship is futile. We will all leave sooner or later. In your case," she glanced over at both Hannah and Sam, "It will likely be sooner."
Mana turned her focus to the french girl. "Your turn! Please, tell me you saw who destroyed the statue!"
The screen switched to a golden colour, with a chibi version of Fleur appearing in the bottom of the screen. It fades to black and white, and the Zactastic Hotties are seen cowering in the bushes. Hannah spoke up, "See! I said stalking the pirates would be greatest option! Wing really knows how to sniff out treasure." She whispered as the Incans captured the majority of the other team.
Fleur whispered, "Shouldn't we help them?"
"I am in agreeing with her. They might get hurt!" Colin turned to Fleur and smiled.
"Same!" Sam cheered out.
Viola sighed as she turned to her other team members. "The coast is clear, we should be in the following of them." Fleur turned to Viola and nodded.
"Lead the way!" She cheered. Hannah glared at the pretty blonde and back at Sam, she ran her finger across her neck, and Sam nodded. The captain made her way to the front, as she followed the tracks left by the Inca.
"So… Fleur. Why are you on the show?" Sam asked as he walked beside the french girl.
Her eyes lit up, "I thought this was Britain's Next Top Model!" She frowned, "I was mistaken."
"You would be a true beautiful model." Colin smiled and wrapped his arm around her.
"You should be in the showing us of your model walk!" Hannah suggested and winked at Sam.
"Ok!" Fleur giggled as she left Colin's embrace and walked in front of the others. As she began to strut Hannah turned to Sam and nodded.
"LOOK OUT!" They both shouted as they threw fruits at the girl. Before the fruit could reach the girl, Viola jumped into the way, wielding a large stick and swung at the fruit sending them flying. "Wow! Where did the monkeys appear from?"
Viola glared at the pair before turning back to Fleur. "I used to be in the playing of basketball before I discovered my teammates were useless." Fleur ran up and jumped to hug Viola who reluctantly opened her arms.
"You're amazing!" She kissed Viola's cheek in thanks.
"We are here!" Colin announced as he peered over the cliff, and down at the Incan village. He pointed to the cages where the Pirates were held. "We need a plan."
Hannah stared down, "If my years of gaming experience have taught me anything," She paused, "It's that there will be only one way we can do this and still be making it out in all pieces." She turned to Sam. "You, will be the wench and will flirt with him." She pointed at the leader of the Inca. "While we, rescue the others."
The screen returned to the present. Rhonda sighed as she looked up at the sky, "We're running out of time."
Fleur frowned. "I am sorry I was not in the mode of helping."
Mana frowned, "Don't worry! I think I almost figured it out! You were great!" He smiled and turned to Colin. "What happened next?"
The screen returned to the golden colour, as a chibi version of Colin appeared. It faded into black and white, showing Colin, Hannah, Fleur and Viola running away from a hoard of Inca. "I don't think that the plan worked!" Colin shouted as he carried Fleur who had hurt her ankle.
Hannah groaned, "Sam must of insulted him or something! I knew I should have sent you! You're hotness and charisma skill are way higher!" The american blushed.
"You're really… kinda handsome." A girl's voice flirted.
"It's not the time to state your affection, Hannah!" Viola growled.
"You're kinda hot too, I guess." A voice replied.
Fleur turned to Colin, but he didn't say anything. "Who is in the speaking?" She called out to no reply.
As the group raced towards the shore, stone came crashing down behind them. The team looked up, and saw what remained of the statue, and two figures who ran away. The Inca surrounded the team. The leader walked towards them, attached to a chain was Sam, who was now shirtless and being walked. "I think I'm his pet now." Sam groaned as the leader petted his hair.
The screen returned to the present. "We're finally getting somewhere!" Mana cheered out. "Now for the last team so i can finally put all of the pieces together!" The intern turned to Sirens.
The screen turned to a light red, as a chibi version of Kimmi appeared in the corner. The screen faded to black and white. The girl is shown waking up from her bed, "Grayson?" She whispered out. When no one replied, she turned to her side, and saw that he was missing. "Oh…." She whispered to herself. She crawled out of the bed and pulled on one of his shirts, and put on her own jeans.
The door opened, as Grayson cheerfully walked in, with two plates with fruit and bacon. "Breakfast is served," He smiled and crawled into the bed with Kimmi, wrapping an arm around her.
"I missed you," She whispered.
"I know," He smiled back and stuffed an orange slice into his mouth and smiled, revealing orange teeth. Kimmi giggled and kissed him on the cheek.
Once the pair were eating Kimmi got up. "I'll see you later, right?" She asked as she headed for the door. Grayson nodded. The girl kissed her heart locket as she left the cabin.
"Kimmi!" Andre sang out and waved at the girl.
"Andre! Hey!" She smiled as she approached her captain who sat on the steps playing his guitar. "What are you doing?" She asked as she sat beside him.
"Just working on a song for Dania," he blushed. "I like to think she's at home right now, watching me."
Kimmi giggled and wrapped her arms around him. "That's so cute! She's a very lucky girl!"
"Or unlucky," he sighed dropping his pick.
"Don't say that!" Kimmi frowned and moved her fingers to Andre's face and made him smile. "Be happy!"
Andre flashed a smile. "It's just hard knowing that if I don't go far here than her dad will never let us date. Why did she have to like me, of all people." He groaned.
"Then we will just have to make sure we don't lose!" She cheered.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE A STARBUCKS COFFEE!" Cherry shouted at Damien who raced out of the kitchen in an apron.
"She's nuts. Save me!" He shouted as he cowered behind the pair.
Cherry stormed out of the kitchen. "I require my tall triple frappe mocha-mellow pumpkin spice latte EVERY Friday!"
"Well I'm sorry that this isn't Starbucks!" Damien groaned.
Cherry put her sunglasses on, "If I don't get my mocha-mellow you can like totally forget about us winning today." She crossed her arms and turned away from team.
"One tall triple frappe mocha-mellow pumpkin spice latte, cooled to the right temperature," Grayson announced as he walked out of the kitchen and handed the girl her coffee.
"How did you know how to make this." She questioned, staring at the fluid and sniffing it. "It smells divine!"
"Gray-bear used to work at the Starbucks at his school," Kimmi giggled.
The taller, white girl stared at Kimmi. "Like, who asked you?"
"She's just trying to be nice, someone Cherry." Grayson said. "This is our peace offering." He winked as he pointed to the message he had written on the cup.
Cherry lipped her lips. "Cherrylicious."
The screen returned to the present. "Your team is low-key insane," Zac sighed as he turned to the sky. "And if you don't finish telling your story we're all going to die." Mana nodded and turned to Damien.
Kimmi raised her hand, "Can I pee?" Rhonda nodded and led Kimmi away from the group
The screen turned to the dim pink, and then to black and white. The Sirens were walking through the forest. "I think that we should split up," Grayson announced.
Cherry nodded, "Yeah… like we're not really getting anything done here." She scoffed as a plant touched her skin.
Andre nodded, "That seems like a good plan, "Damien and I will keep going, you three should head back and see if we missed anything."
"No!" Cherry, Grayson and Kimmi all said in unison.
"I think I should come with you two," Kimmi suggested, "I really feel like I haven't gotten a chance to get to know my new BFF's" She smiled and wrapped an arm around both Andre and Damien.
"Yea, and I think Cherry and me should be able to figure this out… quickly." Grayson added.
"Like yeah!"
Andre and Damien turned to each other and then at Cherry and Grayson, and then at Kimmi. "I mean if you're ok with it broski," Damien shrugged.
As the trio walked away Kimmi turned to Damien. "So why did you audition for the show!"
Damien shrugged, "I don't know. My sister was on it awhile ago, and I just thought it would be a good idea. To get out there and stuff? I was supposed to be on last season, but Lindsay thought it wouldn't be a good idea…Zac didn't seem to think so though!"
Andre frowned. "Last season would have been the bomb if you were there! Maybe I wouldn't have left first!" He chuckled and lightly punched Damien in the arm.
Kimmi smiled, "Aww, last season looked like so much fun! I'm jealous that you got to be on it for even an episode!" She frowned.
"Why did you join the show Kimmi? You see like you already have it all? You know, with Grayson." Andre asked.
She blushed and then lightly giggled. "Graybear is such a cutie, isn't he? I'm so lucky that I found him… But I made a promise," she grabbed onto her locket. "And I can't break it. Not now… Was that Youri?" Kimmi gasped as a figure raced through the woods. Before the guys could say anything she had already raced after him.
Once she was out of earshot Andre turned to Damien, "How can she be so oblivious to Cherry?"
Damien shrugged, "I don't even know, it's so obvious." He groaned, "Let's climb up the tree so that we can get a better view." Andre nodded as they climbed up.
"Do you see that?" Andre gasped and pointed to where two figures, Cherry and Grayson were basically on top of each other. "We can't let Kimmi find out."
The screen returned to the present, Kimmi and Rhonda were still away. Mana turned to Grayson and Cherry, "You're lucky this challenge wasn't about finding the biggest cheaters. But you may as well explain yourselves."
The screen faded back to the light pink, and then into black and white. Cherry and Grayson were a mere centimetres apart as they stood in front of a giant rock statue. "You're kinda, like so, handsome." Cherry winked as she leaned in a little bit further.
Grayson blushed, "And you're kinda hot… If only I knew what two attractive people are supposed to do when they're alone… together." He grabbed Cherry's shoulders and moved around her, and pressed her against the stone.
Cherry's breathing got deeper. "Like, I don't know either…. Maybe you should teach me." Grayson leaned in to kiss Cherry, and she kissed back. Leaving a trail of cherry-red lip marks across his cheek and neck. "I should go!" She gasped and raced into the forest behind them.
Grayson wiped his face and neck off before he raced after the girl. "Cherry wait!"
The screen flashed back to the present. Cherry glared at Grayson, Andre was busy wiping off what lipstick was still on Grayson's body. "I have everything I need." Mana announced. He walked towards the Sharks, "Your team was the only team to actually do the challenge, and also the only team I know for a fact had nothing to do with the destruction of the statue. You guys were never anywhere near it."The sharks cheered out and shared a group hug, asides from Youri who groaned.
Mana turned to the Pirates next, "And you… Well you were the obvious choice at first. No one seems to know what happened to Wing and Yasmin after they were separated from the rest of the team. Plus your team had the opportunity to destroy it, while Sarah was alone with it…" Zac growled out. "But she had no reason to… So you are also safe." The pirates cheered.
The intern turned to face both the Sirens and the Hotties. "I think the answer is obvious." He turned to Grayson and Cherry. "Cherry ran off after you kissed her because the force was so much that it crashed the statue, sending it falling onto the Hotties who were being chased by the Inca."
Everybody gasped. "And we would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you, and your meddling manatee!" Grayson said light-heartedly.
Kimmi skipped back after using the restroom, "So what did I miss?" She asked.
Zac finished reviewing the footage and turned to Mana, "Mana is correct. The Sirens caused the statue to collapse and will now need to vote one of their own to be offered as a tribute to the Inca."
"You had footage of this the entire time?" Youri groaned.
Rhonda shrugged, "This was way more fun!"
"We don't have time to have an actual elimination ceremony," Zac pointed to the sky above, so if you guys could all just announce who you want to eliminate, that would be perf."
Andre stepped up, "Cherry."
Kimmi cast her vote next, "Damien, like I'm sorry! You're really like nice, but yeah." She frowned at her friend.
Damien turned to Cherry, "Cherry. You know why."
Cherry rolled her eyes. "Damien."
"Cherry." Grayson announced last.
Cherry gasped. "This wasn't according to the plan either! I didn't want to be on this like stupid show anyways! But I totally don't want to be offered up as a tribute to the Inca gods!" The girl tried to run away but tripped over her Starbucks lip balm and fell into the Inca leaders open arms.
"Me likey." He announced and dragged Cherry away. The Inca army vanished into the forest, leaving the remaining contestants shocked.
"That was… just a challenge right?" Yasmin asked, "If there was actually an Inca city here, someone would have found it already…"
Zac and Rhonda frowned. "Sadly not. And Cherry was one of our biggest rating boosters." The hosts sighed as they walked back to the ships. "Tune in next time when the teams deal with the aftermath of almost being sacrificed to the Incan god! And will Kimmi finally discover the truth about Grayson? All of this and more… next time on Total Drama… TIDES"
The screen fades back to black and white. Sarah is shown in front of the statue. "What are you doing here?" She whispered, backing away from the figure. "I didn't tell anyone! I swear! I won't!"
The figure approached Sarah. "They better not. I can not afford for this to get leaked." Sarah took another step backwards, and knocking the statue over. She gasped.
The screen fades back to the present.
(CONF): Sarah is shown in the dark, staring at the camera. "Thank you Zac… I don't know why, or how you did it… but thank you."
A/N Ok so I know there was a large delay between this and the last chapter. There's no excuse considering chapters 1-9 are available else where. I'm going to make a mental note to ensure I update on this site from now on. So expect more chapters over the next few days.
I hope that you all enjoyed a variation on the chapter format, it's something I'm going to be doing a few times this season. Not this exact variation, but a number of chapters will have some unique aspects to them.
Cherry had to leave this time around. There was no way around it. But I do want to thank Suicideblonde99 for submitting Cherry once again! She was an amazing character and it was my pleasure to write for her. I had a very specific story planned for Cherry and I kinda botched it up but I do always like having people return...
