Unfortunately, I do not own the Total drama series at all. It is owned by Teletoon in Canada. The only thing I own is my original character Marik. I want to thank paulinaghost and Mo for my first two reviews on this story. And Mo Duncan and Gwen are not dead all will be explained in the next chapter. Any who, in the last chapter, Marik and Leshawna officially became a couple. However, there are some obstacles that need to be tackled along the way including the VIPERS… Enjoy chapter 7…

Chapter 7: The Truth and a Plan

The next day, Marik and Leshawna decided to stay in the bed enjoying each other's company when his cell phone began to ring.

"Who is this and what do you want?" he questioned irritated.

"Well, nice to see you're awake, sunshine…" Marik grimaced while raking his hand through his dreadlocked hair.

"Shut it! Do you have any idea what time it is, Duncan?"

"Um… 1:36pm Eastern time." The delinquent laughed. "By the way, where are you? Didn't see you at the apartment when Gwen and I woke up."

" I'm at Leshawna's place…"

"Ah, enough said. So you like them thick huh?" Duncan joked only to hear a low growl on the other end… "Sorry man, guess I struck a nerve."

"That aside, what was the purpose of this call, Duncan?"

"Come to the apartment, we'll explain…" he said in a much more serious tone.

"Okay, we'll be there Asap."

He hung up the phone just as Leshawna woke up. Stretching she looked over at her boyfriend who now had a look of concern and focus on it.

"What's wrong, sugar?" she asked.

"Duncan called saying to meet him and the others at my apartment. He says it's urgent…"

"Well let's get over there…" she playfully pushed him off the bed, him off guard.

[The Guys Apartment]

After half an hour later, the couple arrived at the apartment where everyone was waiting. The atmosphere around the place was that of shock and disdain.

"Guy's what's wrong?" They said nothing, the only reaction was Dj flipping the TV on showing a current newscast.

Marik slowly walked to the nearest chair, Leshawna sitting on his lap as they watched what seemed to be the source of the uncomfortable silence.

"In the latest news, a secret organization was exposed today by an elite group of former agents who, in a video feed, revealed themselves as VIPER." Marik's head drooped a little as the reporter continued. "This small group, used to work for a covert government organization called C.R.O.W whose leader is U.S. military general, Chris McClean. The rouge agent's leader, Alejandro Burromuerto shares his authority with a female agent named Courtney Dominguez—" Marik had had enough…

"Turn the TV off… It's about time you all knew the truth about the 'reason' Courtney defected to the U.T.A." he took a deep breath and continued.

"I was only 14 years old given orders to retrieve Courtney from her parents-"

Flashback (5 years ago)

A young Marik stood in front of the Dominguez residence. He looked around, scanning the neighborhood for any witnesses to the deed given to him. Nobody around. That made his job so much easier. He kept his gun behind him as he scaled the side of the house ending up near two windows one he suspected to be the parents. This meant that he would have a 50-50 chance of finding the girl without added complications. He decided to check the one to the left, which was the right one to make. But when he looked through the window he saw her, that beautiful mocha skin, those innocent eyes, that cute smile that seemed to melt his once cold heart. He felt for the first time, hesitation to do this job. He turned to leave when a crash was heard. He turned around to see a tall man slapping her around.

"You stupid, little retarded bitch! How many times have I told you not to interrupt your mother and I?" he spat out.

He slapped the little girl and left slamming the door behind him. Marik looking on saw that the girl was knocked unconscious. Slowly he opened the window and crept in ready to comfort the little girl should she wake up. Holding her he heard footsteps again this time multiple. He hid in the closet, ,leaving the girl in the same position he found her when the man stormed back in with a sawed off shotgun.

"Honey what are you doing? She's our daughter..."

"Shut up! I have no daughter... Not anymore!" He held up the gun to the young unconscious girls head when the mother ran in front of her.

BAM!

The next moment was that of Marik rampaging out of the closet gun held out and the man who only stared in a creepy manner at the sight of his wife half naked with a giant hole blown into her; blood pooling around the obviously cold and lifeless body.

"Drop the gun... Please sir... There's enough blood spilled today, just walk away and nobody else has to get hurt."

Reluctant at first, the man back away slowly; eventually leaving the room. Marik rushed over to pull the young girl now covered in blood up to the window just as she started to wake up, her eyes fluttering trying to adjust to the lighting.

"H-huh? What's going on?" she muttered before going limp in his arms again. He smiled and pulled her through the window and lowered her down with ease.

As he piggybacked her down the street, the sounds of a speeding car alerted him. Looking back he could the very man who, just second before had shot his wife in cold blood... Marik knew that somebody was going to die...
