Now since the last chapter of TAI went up, it's now time for the last chapter of SFTS!

Wow, with this, it will be the final time that will take place before TAI2 Total Alternate Action Tour.

Anyway, ENJOY!


As we broke up and I left to my room to pack, I was contemplating the next season already. Now I knew for a while there would be a next season due to a little 'persuasion' of the staff here at the hotel. But I had no idea we were having 12 new campers or should I say contestants and going around the world. That would be difficult as I had no idea what the new blood would be like, but it would be a decent challenge to let me think on my feet.

As I walked to my room, I saw Beth storming down with Noah in pursuit. Seeing the farm girl's face, I suspected that Beth ran into Heather.

Noah was saying flatly "um, Beth, that could have been handled better."

Beth whipped around "are you sthaying I sthould LISTTHEN to her! ?"

"No, I mean that you shouldn't go off like a volcano. I'm surprised lava isn't coming out of your ears." Noah shook his head "I mean you should leave it alone."

At that, I walked up "problems Beth?"

Beth sighed, calming down "nothing Justhin." Her eyes narrowed "I justh told Heather where she can go."

"So Heather tried to talk to you?"

Noah scowled "Beth told her to go back to hell."

I couldn't restrain a smirk at that while Beth shrugged "it'sth where sthes from."

Noah fell silent at that.

I knew we didn't have much time so I decided to say "so anyway, just want to say good luck in advance for the next season."

Beth smiled at that "thank you Justhin. Come on Noah, we sthould go."

She walked ahead with Noah staying behind, staring at me for a few seconds, then smirking "make sure you don't punch anymore mirrors pretty boy. I'm sure your health insurance does cover self mutilation." With that the bookworm walked off.

I felt my eyes narrow at that.

Deciding that it was best to let it go, I soon entered my room and began to pack. I wondered about the others and how they would be a year time. I had retrieved a few numbers, such as from Owen, Katie, Sadie, which would be useful in the long run. Hopefully in the year break, I would pick up some more info on the new 12 and keep myself updated on what the vet's such as myself will be up to.

But there were still a few problems, of others such as Noah, Gwen, and especially Jessie. I wondered about what they could cause and already was trying to decide how they could be handled. With luck, maybe some of the newbie's could provide some assistance. I walked to the small table set up near the windows with some of the others already gathered on the Dock. On that table was a favorite game of mine with it fully set up. I smirked as I set in the final piece in place on the board, hoping to find the one I wanted to play before we could leave in...hmm, about 45 minutes.

With hope she would listen to the deal that I had for her. If she was as intelligent as she was shown, she would accept. If not...well, then the consequences would be on her head.

"WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Hearing that cheer going down the hall, I looked up and heard a rush go past. I opened the door in time to see Marcus and Jake running down with Wolfo following close behind. I stared at this for a few moments until I decided it was better off not knowing what was happening. I then heard nearby voices from down the hall with Harold heard saying to the one I wanted to meet "...she really that obsessed with payback?"

"Humans all have ways of coping with anger. Except Courtney's way is thru violence and deceit. Don't worry about it, it all worked out for the best." I heard the one I was looking for say.

I proceeded to walk down the hall back into the room where I had set up, hoping that she had heard me walking away. I walked to the table and patiently waited, casually moving some pieces.

Hearing a cough, I saw Jessie standing at the door, staring at me "I don't know who raised you, but I was raised to understand that eavesdropping is quite rude."

I shrugged "oh my apologies."

Jessie then saw the board and raised an eyebrow "what's all this? You want to play chess?"

I gestured "I never really was able to play when I was here. The others...well, they wouldn't be too much of a challenge. I want to ask if you wish to play?"

Jessie nodded politely "very well, if you insist."

She moved towards the table and sat at the table across from me, with the white pieces "ladies first."

Jessie nodded and made her first move, with me asking "so what do you think of next year?"

"Surprising, yet it's Chris, so I shouldn't be. Quite curious about the new people."

I chuckled "yeah, can't wait to see how they are."

Jessie just "hmmm" and continued "so what about you? For next year?"

I was about to move a knight and stopped to stare flatly "I don't see how that is your concern."

She continued "if it affects my friends, it is my concern. Must admit, that talk you had with Sadie really ignited some sparks."

I just shrugged "just mentioned some possibilities. Not my fault she overreacted. Oh before I forget, nice job with your boyfriend winning." I then sighed "too bad that some might view him a problem seeing as he won this season and is competing again."

Her framed eyes narrowed as she moved her Queen to take one of my pawns "is that a threat?"

"Now here me out." Hopefully she would listen...if she knew what was good for her "Jessie, I honestly don't have anything against you. Your intelligent, perceptive, not to mention very lovely." I tossed in my winning smile.

"Get to the point."

I grinned "here's my deal on the table. I help you out in challenges for next season and you help me out."

Jessie paused at that and just looked at me.

"Come on, we can perceive how they can react. With your notes on them and my physical athleticism, we can control the game and understand how they will react, causing them to slip and make mistakes."

"Like manipulation?" Jessie said dryly as she moved a knight to the end of the board.

I put in "like you manipulating me. Poor Sadie was in tears after your little mention of the confessional."

She fell silent.

I moved a rook to take one of her knights "now, listen to reason. This is a game, much like this board. They all have their symbolism. We can be the Kings and Queens among the rooks, knights, and especially the pawns."

"What about my friends?" Jessie asked heatedly.

"You can keep them." I waved dismissively "what they don't know what hurt them."

Jessie then smirked "tell me, do you know what dating Harold has made me understand?"

"What's that?"

"It made me understand that there is honor amongst this show. Sure, we've done thing's we're not proud of and we all have dark sides, sides that Cody, Laura, and Leshawna figured out the hard way. Heather even overcame her's and understood her actions."

I just stared at her, unsure where she was going with this.

"Harold never went down that path. He never pranked Duncan once, even after the Dock incident. It showed me that there is decency within these shows and people don't always have to backstab others to get ahead in the world."

I scowled "um...that's just human nature."

Jessie smirked and moved her king back from my knight " You believe that because you have an ego. You think your above them due to your intelligence and looks thus believing that your never wrong. Did you really think because you offered it I would accept?"

"So...that's a no then?" I looked at the board. While we were talking, many pieces had already been taken and each of our kings were...

Stuck.

"It's a draw." I blinked in surprise. This...this never happened before.

Jessie stood up "well, to answer your question, yes I refuse. Thank you for the game, it was quite riveting."

I chuckled "how about this? I stay out of your business and you keep out of mine?"

Jessie paused at the door and glanced over her shoulder, looking straight in my eyes "will your business hurt some of the others?"

"Maybe some collateral damage, but that's just the way the world works. Hopefully after a year, you'll understand that to win in a game, pieces must be sacrificed." I grinned at her as threateningly as I could "so unless you wake up and understand, keep out of my way and don't drag some people with you."

Jessie just looked over at me "then, understand this. If you try to start something." She narrowed her eyes in a promise "I will finish it. Have a nice summer." She finished with some sarcasm and walked out the door.

Staring at this, I shook my head and grabbed my bag, heading out the door.

After meeting the Wonder Twins and telling them to call later, I walked to the Dock and got into the Boat with my back up plan.

I admit it was a regret not having Jessie with me, her intelligence and foresight would have been very helpful in studying the newbies and the others even more. Specifically the one's I do not know. But then, I saw something and a new idea came to me.

Another one was seen, one whom could still be valuable despite alienating the others as a distraction, she still could use some guidance after the massive pounding her ego took.

I went into one of the Boats with this one, to her mild surprise and as it started up, I looked at her "hello Courtney."

Courtney scowled "what do you want?"

"Just want to say good luck for the next season."

Courtney snarled "I don't need it. I have a year to prepare to get revenge on the others!"

I put a hand on her shoulder "oh come now Courtney relax, maybe you can use...some help."

Courtney stood still for a second and looked at me with obvious suspicion.

"You see Courtney Abigail Mann...I wish to make a deal with you."

I grinned at her interested face.

Just a year long to wait.

To understand.

To learn.

It would then be time to mow them all down in an inferno.

All 39 of them.

For my name is Justin Brayson.

The next season winner.

Count on it.


WOO!

Now it's time to start FINALLY AT LONG LAST Deadly Obsession (which will be an AU verse BTW) and Blood Moon.

Justin will be a threat.

How much who knows?

Anyway, hope you read TAI2 and like all the new OC's.

Hopefully I can get some more reviews, but whatever.

SAYONARA!
