Chapter 7
Episode 2, Part 1
Capture The Flags
"Last time on Total Drama Summer..." Chris announced as everything became visible, "We started a new season!"
"With new faces! And new challenges!"
"But we didn't get rid of the island! That's right, this show is going back to where it all started!"
"16 New Faces, 2 Teams and 1 Million dollars came in to play. A lot to put up! We started off with an awesome three part challenge. Some couldn't do it, others shocked people by doing it! But in the end it was Team Blue that won the reward, sending one of the Team Pink campers packing! It was pretty much decided that Jacob is going home until he was voted to get individual immunity, seperating the Team even further! A deadly alliance was made between Jenna and Jacob, and it was Rosie who was voted out. Will Team Pink avenge Rosie? Find out now!"
Early on in the morning, it was mostly silent. An awakward silence between Team Pink. They were such great team-mates that all worked together. But after the voting ceremony, nobody was sure about that; especially Jade. It was her friend that got voted off. Not Kero's, not Jamie's, but her's. It created a feeling of dissapointment that others felt, but nobody wanted to speak up about.
"Why did you guys vote out Rosie?" She finally stood up at the lunch table.
Jacob laughed, "She was useless. Also, it's because of her that we're called Team Pink."
"What's up, super-manly Team Pink!" Leon tapped on Andrews shoulders and walked over to his team's table.
"This is just like this moment in Who The Heck Cares?" Jacob retorted, mocking Jamie. Jamie turned around after talking to Lyric and glared at him, only for it to turn in to a smile.
"You read that too? Isn't Joseph so hot?"
"Why though? Why?" Jade asked.
"It wasn't anything personal." Andrew replied, "Me and Kero spoke about it for hours. It's tough, but we decided it was for the good of the team."
"Jacob deserved to be out." Jenna called out from the other table. Jacob frowned after hearing this, until he figured out what Jenna was doing.
"He was a jerk to all of you. The faster you get him out, the better. In fact... I'm pretty sure he's the reason you guys aren't winning challenges. You guys are so good at challenges, but Jacob ruins that."
"Thanks Jenna! Why can't you be on our team?" Kero whined until Andrew glared at Kero.
"No way, you should come to our team!" Jenna smiled back.
Syahman nervously twitched as he Shouted, "Sorry guys, I'm going to need to go!"
"What's his problem?" Jamie asked as Lyric shrugged.
"He said something about having evil spazzes or something like that..." Kero replied.
Confessional Cam (1 Trillion Rumors Busted And Still Going Strong!)
Syahman: "Now that I'm myself again I must act quickly. After complex mathematical formulas I have not only figured out that Jenna is manipulating us, but is also in an alliance with Jacob. If I can get 4 votes against either team, the alliance would break. After running the statistics several times I have figured out exactly who would be loyal to me and do whatever I say... Oh crap, I'm turning back in to my nice form! I really hope he doesn't forget-... Huh? What am I doing here?"
Andrew: "I just can't trust Jenna. She's acting so unrealistic. She's not acting overconfident over anything, she has great sportsmanship... Just too nice to be real..."
Jenna: "These idiots are eating out of the palm of my hands. I've already gotten pretty likeable to the other team- or at least I hope I did. Just can't seem to break through to Andrew. Why is he not falling for this stuff? Whatever, if seven out of eight of them like me, that's good. In fact, that's great! I can make their team turn on Andrew and he'll have nowhere to go except an alliance with me! I'm smarter than I thought!"
Team Blue was acting like this game was more of a vacation than anything, which made Briana nervous. She didn't do her best without competition making her push herself to become better. And after seeing Quinn baby-talk his Hamster and Avrey sitting back on a few chairs, pretending it's a couch, she sighed in regret. Kyle pulled on a few guitar strings and when Jamie asked to play it, he gladly gave it to her. She pulled a few random strings and after done, she smashed it with her knee, making Kyle twitch.
"You just can't get a break, huh?" Kaylynn asked.
Kyle shrugged in defeat, "I can't."
"I'm sure Hammy can cheer you up!" Quinn suggested, "Right?"
Hammy twitched in reply to that, "(I don't help people. I only kill humans.)"
"Sure you can Hammy! You're like a mascot for us!"
"Are you talking to your hamster?" Kaylynn asked.
"Umm... Yeah, and it talks back!"
"Are you okay?"
"What happened?" Kyle asked.
"Quinn's going crazy." Kaylynn replied.
"Am not!"
Kyle gathered some courage and went to talk to Jade. The moment he said hi, Chris bursted open the door.
"Hello campers!" Chris shouted. After a few minutes of silence, Chris frowned, "Fine... Be like that. Anyways we have another challenge."
"You just can't get a break, huh?" Avrey asked Kyle.
"Is it a reward challenge?" Syahman asked.
"It has to be a reward challenge. 16 players does not equal 26 episodes." Andrew said.
"Right, but because of budget restraints this season will be slightly shorter. We'll still have a few reward challenges but this won't be one of them. Meet me at the beach in fifteen minutes."
As the fifteen campers stood at the docks, Chris grinned as he spoke
"Alright then, let me get to today's challenge. It's a race to get four of your flags back here. They have been hidden throughout the island and it's your job to get them. There are three Pink flags and three Blue flags. If you touch the other team's flag, you are disqualified from this challenge."
"You said we're supposed to get four flags but there are only three for our team in the island?... You're an idiot." Briana commented.
"I was about to get to that, and cold. Just cold. There are two hidden white flags on the island. They are neutral and either team can pick them up and put them here for their team. And here's the twist... Three people in each team will get a laser gun."
Horrified gasps came from the contestants as Chris grinned, "The toy ones. All others must wear a vest over their clothes that detects if a laser hit them. If a laser did hit them, they must drop the flag, return to the beach and it will be hidden again. The flag carrier is out for the rest of the game. Those with the laser guns are not allowed to touch the flag or come within 100 meters from the capture zone. If somebody carrying a flag does appear 100 meters from the capture zone and get shot, they do not have to drop the flag. If somebody touches the gunner, the gunner can no longer use the laser gun. Any questions?"
"What's the prize?" Avrey asked.
"Good question. The winning team will get any car of their choice upon getting a driver's license! As long as it's under one-hundred grand."
"Fair enough." Jacob said.
Confessional Cam (IMO UR NOT FUNNY TROLOLOLOL)
Jacob: "As part of the alliance between me and Jenna, I will now screw my team over throughout this challenge."
"I'll give each Team five minutes to work out their strategy."
Team Blue had huddled around to discuss their strategy.
"So who should be the gunners?" Jenna asked, "We need people that are patient, accurate and above all, have common sense."
"I fit all of that." Leon stepped up, "Except common sense."
"I'll be the other gunner." Briana replied.
"Who's going to be the third? We're supposed to have three." Kaylynn asked. After no replies, she sighed and volunteered herself.
"Perfect, let's keep same strategy we used for the previous challenge." Avrey said.
"That's a terrible idea. We need a new strategy. It's obvious Chris is attempting to prevent us from using teamwork. We need to work around that." Briana retorted.
"Exactly. Let's figure out alternatives. We could have a lookout- like somebody climbing out on a tree and alerting others of the other's team presence." Jenna replied.
"Perfect idea. I'll climb the tallest tree I can find and stay there, telling you guys if I see somebody. Anybody have anything we can use to communicate? Walkie-Talkies?" Briana added.
Everybody glanced at Leon who ran out to get his pair.
"Awesome! So what else should we do?" Avrey asked.
"Flag carriers need to stay hidden, that's a must. Get to the return point as fast as possible by taking the route that's the thickest." Jenna added, causing Briana to glare.
Confessional Cam (Have You Seen 'Nyan Cat' Yet?)
Briana: "I'm honestly feel... threatened by Jenna's presence. She's brilliant at making strategies and pays little attention to me as a rival, which really is damaging my ego."
Team Pink was hopeless compared to Team Blue, and it was clearly visible to them.
"No way, I should be the last gunner!" Jamie argued.
"No, I should! I've played so many laser tag games! I'm perfect at this!" Kero retorted, causing Andrew to sigh.
"Alright look, I'll draw a coin. Tails, Jamie wins. Heads, Kero is gunner." Andrew offered. Both parties agreed to it as Andrew tossed the coin and caught it. He revealed the results in front of the team; heads.
"Awesome!" Kero cheered.
"So who's going to be our other two gunners?" Jacob chuckled, causing everybody to realise their stupid mistake.
"Fine. Me and Lyric will be the other gunners!" Jamie replied, causing Lyric to quake at the thought of having to hunt people down- even if it's just a game.
"No way." Jacob retorted, "How often do you hear Lyric giving suggestions? She doesn't deserve to be a gunner. I'll take her place."
The remark caused Lyric to look down on herself and stood on a rock, silent. Everybody glared at Jacob, who smiled back.
"Now you've upset Lyric! She's very fragile!" Jamie nagged Jacob, who sneered.
"She's not even you're friend! You've just taken her wherever you've gone like some backpack. I bet she was the one that voted for you." Jacob retorted.
"You're an idiot! Lyric's my best friend, and I'm Lyric's best friend! She would never vote me off, right?" Jamie looked at Lyric for support, who slowly turned her head away. Jamie crossed her arms in rage.
"Fine... Be like that." Jamie sighed and walked away.
Confessional Cam (coolstorybro... I felt really connected to the characters and the plot twist at the end was excellent!)
Jamie: "You think you know a person after you've been stalking them non-stop for 24 hours! I've been so nice to Lyric... And she votes me?"
Jacob: "This is so awesome!"
"Alright then, both teams have discussed their plan?" Chris asked.
"Chris- I'm sitting out on this challenge until I feel better about myself." Jamie said.
"You can't." Andrew replied, "We're already a person down. If we're 2 people down, we'll lose for sure."
"She should be disqualified from the competition if she refuses to do challenges!" Jacob shouted.
"We're not going to disqualify people on that term. If you guys lose and vote her off, that's your problem. But we can't afford to just disqualify people without a challenge."
"So what are we going to do?" Jade asked.
"Quit?" Kaylynn asked the other team.
"Tell you what, Alex will be on your team for this challenge!" Chris beamed.
"What?" Alex asked as Chris gripped his arm.
"Of course you will! A fine kid like you would do great in challenges! So go show the world how great you are and keep the ratings up!"
"So Alex is now on their team?" Kaylynn raised an eyebrow.
"Just for this challenge. Team Pink, if you lose you can't vote out Alex."
"Then what's the point of having him?" Jacob asked.
"They have eight people. We have seven, but one isn't competing in this challenge. At least with Alex, it's seven against eight." Andrew replied.
"We don't need him." Jacob huffed.
Confessional Cam (Deep Inside, Nobody Actually Cares)
Andrew: "It's not just Jenna anymore. Now Jacob's acting odd, Jamie, Leon, Quinn... I could totally see a pattern in the people Chris picked."
"So who's the gunners?"
"Me, Kero and... Lyric?" Jacob said on behalf of Team Pink.
"Leon, Briana and Kaylynn." Jacqueline replied.
"Alright then, you've chosen your gunners." Chris smiled, "Too bad I'll be choosing them!"
Many frusterated moans came from the contestants, "For Team Pink, Alex, Syahman and Jade! For Team Blue, Leon, Kyle and...Jacqueline!"
"What?" Briana asked, glaring at Jacqueline, "I'll replace her."
"My decision is final. So, in five minutes your guns will activate. Flag carriers, put on this vest." Chris said as everybody gathered supplies, "When I say go, Flag Carriers run. Two minutes after, gunners run... Go!"
By the time the gunners were allowed to hunt everybody was deep in the forest, looking for flags. Nobody found one, but that didn't stop people from looking everywhere... Up in trees, under rocks and in the water. It was Kaylynn that found a Blue flag under a rock, so all she needed to do was bring it back to the beach. Unfortunately, Alex and Jade were both very close by. When she heard footsteps she hid under a tree, attempting to hide. Both walked right past her. As soon as they were out of view, she made a mad run for the beach to gain her team a point. Right before she made it, Syahman ambushed her. She felt a small jolt and dropped the flag.
"Nice try. I'm way smarter than that though." Syahman replied, "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll continue using guerrila tactics and solving complex computational equations in my head to pass the time."
Kaylynn sighed until she heard what Syahman said, "Pardon?"
"I'm sorry if you can't perform complex mathematical problems in your head. I'm just simply a genius. Now if you would excuse me I must strategize my plan for this game. You will be of no use to me so I will refrain from talking to you."
"What?"
"Do you really insist on continuing this silly chatter? Let me be on my way please." Syahman repeated as he walked away. A couple of seconds later, he started to shake and scratch his head. He looked around, only to find Kaylynn.
"Hey, what's up?" Syahman asked Kaylynn.
"Umm... Nothing?" She nervously replied.
"Cool." He said as he walked away.
"Attention, Gabriella. Please pick up flag from section 21 please. Repeat, Gabriella, please pick up flag from section 21 and hide it again." Chef's voice came from a megaphone. Kaylynn sighed and walked to the beach. To her surprise, Quinn was already there.
"What happened?" Kaylynn asked.
"So I grabbed one of our team's flag when Hammy bit me. I screamed and then Alex caught me.
"It's just us?"
"Yeah. Jenna, Avrey and Briana are still in this."
Confessional Cam (Because I'm Worth It)
Kaylynn: "Syahman is acting really weird. Yesterday he was acting completely different... It doesn't affect me, so I'm not going to worry too much."
Just as things were looking up for Team Pink, disaster struck. Lyric managed to find both of the neutral flags, pretty much ensuring victory for her team, until Leon managed to catch her just before she captured the flags. Leon exploded laughing when he saw her carrying two flags. Lyric quietly walked to the beach and sat down. Jamie quickly shifted to sit beside her.
"This is just like that time in-... No, that's nothing like this." Jamie commented to Lyric, "Why did you want to vote me out? I thought we were friends?"
"She's not your friend. You've just been harassing her for the past twenty-four hours." Jacob said, returning to the beach, "I got caught recently."
"Lyric can speak for herself!" Jamie stood up.
Over on the Team Blue bench, both Quinn and Kaylynn stood watching.
Confessional Cam (If everybody is crazy, then is nobody crazy?)
Jacob: "I got caught on purpose. I told Team Blue everything about our plan for this challenge. Seeing that only Andrew and Kero are left, we'll lose and slowly, my team-mates will be voted out."
Kaylynn: "So Jacob is speaking up for Lyric against Jamie? I don't know who to feel sorry for."
After almost twenty minutes, somebody finally came with a flag; upon closer inspection, everybody saw that it was Briana holding a Blue Flag back to the beach. All of the Team Blue members cheered as they scored their first point. Briana gave them all high-fives as she continued for a second run towards a flag. A few moments later, Kero and Andrew came carrying a flag each, but with different results. Both Jamie and Lyric stayed quiet while Jacob actually shook his head in regret.
"So Team Pink has two flags, while Team Blue has one." Chef announced.
"They're winning?" Jenna asked, carrying a flag back. She smiled, "Pity, I was hoping that we are."
"At least we're tied." Avrey said, right behind Jenna.
"Where are our gunners?" Jamie asked.
"We tagged all three of them." She said as Alex, Syahman and Jade all came to sit down.
"Come on Avrey, let's find some more flags." Jenna said as they ran off, "Good luck, Team Pink!"
"Alright Kero, let's try to find the neutral flags. As soon as you find one, check your surroundings for any gunners." Andrew told Kero.
"Found one!" Kero said, holding up a white flag. Andrew looked around, and noticed a gun pointing out of a bush at Kero.
"Duck!" Andrew shouted as Kero did as told. Jacqueline took the shot, and narrowly missed. Kero made a run for the beach while Andrew tapped Jacqueline on the shoulder, forcing her to drop her gun.
"How did you find me so easily?" She asked.
"You didn't implement guerilla tactics properly. You needed to hold your breath while hiding and stay hidden. Hidding within leaves or in the shade also really helps. So far, you buried your head in a bush and the rest of your body in sunlight and poked your gun through the same bush."
"Well, it's not exactly my specialty."
"I can tell."
Alex, Syahman and Jade all found themselves on the bench. It seemed hopeless, since all odds were against them in numbers. But it shocked them to see Kero carrying a flag back to the beach- and a neutral one!
"Yeah, nice job!" Syahman cheered.
"I'm going back for another run." Kero panted as he ran off again.
Just then, Avrey brought back a neutral flag, scoring three for Team Blue.
"So it's three flags for both teams." Chris announced.
"Wait! I have our fourth flag!" Andrew called out. He came in carrying it, but got shot by Leon, who was hiding in a bush, "Why?"
"Camping is for pros. Remember that." Leon replied.
"Gabriella, please relocate flag to sector 14!" Chef hollered.
"Alright Kero, it's all up to you. No pressure or anything. But if you fail this challenge, it'll be entirely your fault." Jacob grinned.
"I can do this." Kero retorted as he ran off to find the flag.
"He'll never make it." Jacob shook his head, "They have two gunners, we have none. They have three people looking for flags, we only have one. Let's give up and just go to the voting ceremony."
"Where's the fun in that?" Quinn asked.
"Where is our flag?" Briana gritted her teeth.
"Briana, Avrey... Look over there." Jenna said, pointing at Kero holding what looks like a Pink flag.
"They've got the flag... Call Leon!" Avrey shouted in Briana's ear.
"Alright! Attention, Leon. This is Briana. Kero is coming back with the flag." She said in to the walkie-talkie.
"Kero's got the flag? Why is it that there are three of you and only one of him but he can find the flag way faster!" Leon shouted.
"He probably followed Gabriella as she hid the flag. What's important is you can't mess this up."
"I don't do very good on pressure..."
"Just do it!"
Kero was careful about coming back to the beach; he knew Leon was heading somewhere. He quickly saw a gun near him and hid so he would be seen. He looked for anything that could allow him to get to the beach without getting seen. He looked at the water and how close he was to the beach. He quickly formulated a plan to build a snorkel.
Back at the Beach, tension was rising. Both teams were anxiously waiting to see which team would win. Everybody's attention shifted to the vague figures in the background carrying a Blue flag to beach. All of the Blue Team members started to cheer as their teammates brought the final flag, slowly, but they were going to be at the beach within a minute.
"We're gonna win!" Kaylynn cheered.
"Nope!" Kero came out of the water and on to the beach, dropping the final flag. Silence fell short for a minute, as everybody tried to figure out what happened.
"How did you get over there?" Leon asked.
"I knew that if I got to the beach by land, you would hunt me down. So I built a snorkel and swam here."
"Why isn't anybody celebrating?" Avrey came, holding the last flag.
"Because... Team Pink won! Kero, thanks to your ingenious concept, you get to choose who gets single immunity! And the other random person is... Lyric!"
"So, who do you think?" Kero asked Lyric. Lyric simply shrugged.
"Come on, isn't there anybody that you want to have immunity? Spit it out!"
"...You decide."
"Alright then... How about Jenna?" Kero suggested, causing Andrew to glare at Kero. Kero simply shrugged back, clueless. He gripped Kero's arm and whispered.
"We shouldn't be giving her immunity. There's something so wrong about her."
"Are you kidding me? Jenna's awesome!" Kero replied.
"Alright then, Jenna gets immunity!" Chris announced.
"What's the reward?" Jade asked.
"You guys will be rewarded fifty-grand when you buy a car!"
"But for me that's like- two years minimum!" Kero complained.
"Life isn't fair!" Chef hollered, "It wasn't fair when Chris decided to run over my puppy!"
"It was an accident!" Chris retorted, "He was going to die soon anyways."
"He was only two weeks old! And you haven't even said sorry!"
"Are we really going to have this discussion now?"
Confessional (We Figured Out The Mysteries To The Universe! Still Working On The Answers Though...)
Andrew: "Jenna, I don't know what you're doing, but consider this... I'll figure it out, so watch your back."
