"Last time on Total Drama Demigods, you know what? I don't even remember what happened last time. It's been like a month since then. Why did it take so long? Because David is extremely lazy. So, after bribes and threats from the gods, he has finally gotten off his butt and written another chapter. Will it be worth the wait? Probably not. But you'll find out for sure right now on Total Drama Demigods!"
Percy POV
There had been no challenges for weeks, and honestly, without those, the island was petty ni- oh, who am I kidding? It still sucked. The cabins were old and creaky, the showers were dirty, the ocean was full of- well, you don't want to know what the ocean was full of. Still, it beat the challenges Chris made us do.
I went to the mess hall to once again give my breakfast to Tyson after taking one look at it. Honestly, I think the food we were given violated about ten health laws. I watched Tyson eat it wondering how he didn't get food poisoning, when Nico and Thalia came and sat down.
"You guys always seem to be hanging out together a lot." I said. "Is there something you aren't telling everyone?"
"Only that you're an idiot" said Thalia.
"No, I'm pretty sure we say that all the time" replied Nico with a smirk.
"Ya, but it's so much fun reminding him he's an idiot that I kind of have to take every opportunity I can get."
I glared at them, which just made them burst out laughing. They kept it up until I blasted them with water. Then I laughed until I got zapped with lightning. So when Annabeth came to sit down next to me, I was smoking, and Nico and Thalia were drenched.
So when Annabeth came to sit down next to me, I was smoking, and Nico and Thalia were drenched.
"Honestly guys, why is it whenever you spend more than three seconds together this happens?"
Thalia shrugged. "I don't know, why is the god of poetry terrible at writing poems?"
I'm sure Annabeth would have gone into some long winded speech at that point, but suddenly Chris walked into the mess hall.
"Good morning campers! Guess what you get to do today!"
"I swear if you make us watch The Last Airbender movie again I am going to kill you" Clarisse snarled.
" I already told you, that was for science" Chris replied. "Anyway, today we are finally doing another challenge!"
Everyone groaned until Chris held up a DVD case for The Last Airbender.
"So, as I was saying. Todays challenge will put one camper from each team up against a savage monster. But you will not be able to bring any weapons with you. You can only use your hands, your powers, and anything you find lying around there. So, pick someone to compete from your team and have him or her sign this waver saying that we can not be held responsible for any horrible maiming or deaths."
Thunder rumbled outside. Chris flinched. "Okay! Geeze!" He held out two rings. "Courtesy of Hades. If you die while wearing these, you'll come back to life back here. So just pick a camper. My favorite show comes on in an hour and I want to have this done by then."
We split up into our teams. Almost immediately Annabeth said. "I vote Percy does the challenge, considering he's invincible."
I groaned as everyone nodded in agreement. I walked up to Chris to get my ring, and saw that the other team had chosen Mark. He was a son of Ares, so I figured he would probably be able to take down whatever monster they put him up against.
"Alright campers, get ready to see Percy get his butt kicked, because he's going first!"
Yep, just my luck. We walked outside and were suddenly teleported outside of a flower shop. I looked through the window and didn't see any people or monsters. Just a giant plant that I was pretty sure was a Venus fly trap.
"Um…so where's this monster I'm supposed to fight?"
Chris opened the door and pointed at the plant before shoving me inside. I walked up to the plant. "Um, okay, I'm just gonna destroy you now…."
Then the plant started moving and talking, and I could swear I could hear music playing in the background. Oh crap…..
Better wait a minute.
Ya better hold the phone.
Ya better mind your manners.
Better change your tone.
Seriously? Was there something in the water at camp? Because I was pretty sure that plant was talking and singing.
Don't you threaten me son.
You got a lot of gall.
We gonna do things my way.
Or we won't do things at all.
At that, it suddenly broke free of the flower pot it was in, revealing a whole lot of vines that moved all over the place. Wheres a weedwhacker when you need it?
Ya don't know what you're messin' with.
You got no idea.
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at
When you're lookin' here.
"So, I'm not looking at a plant then?"
Ya don't know what you're up against,
No, no way, no how.
You don't know what you're messin' with,
But I'm gonna tell you now!
I looked around the room for something to fight it with. I looked in a desk drawer and found…a pistol? Okay, why would anyone keep a pistol in a flower shop? I turned and pointed it at the plant, who was still singing.
Get this straight!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And I'm bad.
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And it looks like you been had.
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space,
So get off my back, 'n get out my face,
'Cause I'm mean and green
And I am bad.
I shot at the plant, but I seemed to have forgotten what a lousy shot I was until just that moment. I hit pretty much everything besides the plant. I just hope whoever owned the shop had good ensurance. Suddenly, one of the vines wrapped around the pistol, pulling it from my hand. The plant started shooting at me, and despite the fact that the bullets couldn't hurt me, I still backed up. Can you really blame me though. A freaking singing plant was shooting a gun at me! And I gotta say, it was kind of embarrassing that a plant was a better shooter than me.
Wanna save your skin boy?
You wanna save your hide?
You wanna see tomorrow? (Ha-Ha!)
You better step aside.
Better take a tip boy.
Want some good advice?
Ya better take it easy,
'Cause you're walkin' on thin ice.
I ducked as he threw a crate at me. Okay, since when is fighting a plant more dangerous than fighting half the monsters from the Greek myths?
Ya don't know what you're dealin' with.
No, you never did.
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at,
But that's tough titty, kid!
The Lion don't sleep tonight,
And if you pull his tail, he roars.
Ya say, "That ain't fair?"
Ya say, "That ain't nice?"
Ya know what I say? "Up yours!"
The stupid plant was really starting to get on my nerves. I noticed an axe on the floor across the room. Again, what is with all the lethal weapons in a flower shop? I started running towards it when two vines shot out and pulled my pants down, showing everyone watching me from outside my underwear. Yeah, I really did not need them knowing I wear little mermaid underwear.
Watch me now!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And I'm bad.
I'm just a mean green mother, a real disgrace,
And you've got me violent and mad.
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space,
Gonna trash your ass! Gonna rock this place!
I'm mean and green,
And I am bad.
I tried to run to get the axe but forgot to pull my pants back up…so long story short I fell on my face. The plant laughed at me and sang some more.
Don't talk to me about old King-Kong.
You think he's the worst? Well, you're thinkin' wrong.
Don't talk to me about Frankenstein.
He got a temper? -HA!- He ain't got mine.
I pulled my pants back up and got to my feet. I started running for the axe again. This time the plant didn't stop me, he just kept singing.
You know I don't come from no black lagoon.
I'm from past the stars and beyond the moon.
You can keep the thing,
Keep the it,
Keep the creature, they don't mean shit!
Wow, the worlds' first potty mouthed plant. I was just about to reach the axe when vines pinned me to the wall. I cursed under my breath and struggled to get free.
I got garden style, major moves.
I got the stuff, and I think that proves,
You better move it out! Nature calls!
You got the point? I'm gonna bust your balls!
Oh crap….I managed to get free and barely dodged a vine that was going to hit me in my…happy place. So basically I just kept running around and dodging vines for about ten minutes after that.
Here it comes!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And I'm bad.
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
A real hard case. You can't beat this trouble, man.
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
So just give it up. It's all over, ace.
I'm mean and green.
A bunch of vines grabbed me. I turned my head to see the plant laughing.
And I...am...bad!
The vines pulled me up and put me in the plants mouth, where I was swallowed. Trust me, you would not enjoy being swallowed by a plant. As I sat in its….stomach I guess, I had an idea. I let out a yell and filled the plants stomach with more and more water until it couldn't take any more and just burst.
I went outside, and after about ten minutes of listening to people make fun of my underwear, we were teleported to some woods. Mark walked forward when a rabbit suddenly jumped in front of him. It suddenly started doing flips and ninja moves then jumped at Mark, trying to kick him in the face. Mark grabbed it by the ears and threw it. The rabbit landed…well we're not really sure where it landed. He threw it too far away for us to see.
Chris walked in front of all us. He was smiling, which pretty much told me nothing good was about to happen. "Alright campers, seeing as Percy and Mark both defeated their monsters, the only way to settle this is to have them fight each other."
There was a flash of light and I found myself standing in a ring that looked just like the coliseum. One odd thing I noticed was that the edge of the ring had a pool of water. This was going to be easy then. I looked to see Mark smirking at me.
"You really think you can beat me Jackson? Your little powers won't help you against me."
I must admit,
Your water tricks are amusing
But you will need to do better than that.
Now here's your chance
To get the best of me,
Hope your hand is hot!
C'mon, clown,
Let's see what you've got!
I smirked at him. "Alright then." I pulled water from the pools around the ring and shot it at Mark. But he just laughed as it hit him. It was having no affect!
You try to slam me
With your hardest stuff
But your double whammy
Isn't up to snuff
I'll set the record straight
You're simply out of date
You're only second rate!
"Oh, you are dead." I ran at him, punching at him, but he blocked every hit.
You think that I'm a meanine,
But you're just lame
You've got a lot to learn
About the hero game
So for your information,
I'll reiterate
You're only second rate!
He pushed me back a few feet, then slowly walked towards me, showing me his open hand.
Men cower at the power
In my pinky
My thumb is number one
On every list
I was about to tell him how stupid that sounded, but he cut me off with a punch to the face. I fell backwards and looked up to see him grinning.
But if you're not convinced
That I'm invincible,
Put me to the test!
I'd love to lay this rivalry to rest!
I got to my feet and called more water from the pools. It encased him in a ball of water and crashed him against the wall of the ring. But he emerged unharmed. I was beginning to suspect that he was part cockroach.
Go ahead and zap me
With the big surprise
Snap me in a trap,
Cut me down to size
I'll make a big escape
It's just a piece of cake
You're only second rate!
I kept throwing water blasts at him, but of course, it wasn't working. This guy was harder to beat than Popeye after a can of spinach.
You know, your hocus-pocus
Isn't tough enough
And your mumbo-jumbo
Doesn't measure up
Let me pontificate
Upon your sorry state
You're only second rate!
I ran and punched at him but he caught my hand.
Zaba-caba-dabra!
I turned and started running the other way, trying to get to the water. That's right, I wasn't scared or anything. But he grabbed me by the leg and I fell.
Marky's gonna grab ya!
Alakazam-da-mus
And this thing's bigger than the both of us!
So spare me your tremendous scare!
He suddenly pulled my pants down and everyone watching laughed at my underpants AGAIN. Seriously, I picked the wrong day to wear that pair.
You look horrendous in your underwear!
And I can hardly wait
To discombobulate
I'll send ya back and packing
In a shipping crate
You'll make a better living
With a spinning plate
You're only second rate!
He picked me up and spun me over his head, then threw me across the ring. He started laughing then frowned as I landed in the water. I got up and sent water at him, trapping him in a ball of water again. But this time I made the water cool, freezing him solid.
"Well, it looks like Percy wins" said Chris. "Marks' team has to vote someone off. Or they would if this wasn't a reward challenge!"
I got a little angry because I was hoping Mark would be voted off, but then I asked "What's our reward?"
"A new team member" said a voice behind me. I turned around to see….Bianca Diangelo.
Dock Chris POV
"Percy has finally been useful in a challenge and got his team a new member. How will Bianca being here affect the team? Who will win the next challenge? Will David stop being lazy and get the next chapter done in less than a month? Find out next time on Total Drama Demigods!"
Hey guys, sorry this took so long. It's the end of the school year which has meant tests, tests, and more tests. I'll do everything in my power to make sure the next chapter takes less time. Anyway, please review! And thanks for reading!
