Total Drama: Zombie Apocalypse
Episode 9 - It's Your Funeral
Continuing where we've left off…
The Hideous Hawks started walking down the street south. Now that the main cabin blew up, and that one of their own has been killed in the explosion, along with another horde of zombies, where else will they go? It seemed like their only other option was to walk, find any roadside weapon (a stick at the very least) to kill any zombie that comes near them, and find anything to eat, at least until they find a civilization. But the problem is, everything that is ahead of them is nothing but a dense forest. Meanwhile, others are already worried about their loved ones…
"Oh man…" Jay said, distraught, "I really hope Mickey is okay."
"Why? What's wrong with him?" asked Dave.
"You see, we suffer through a series of misfortune throughout our lives. But the thing is, Mickey suffers more misfortune than I do. And with this zombie apocalypse going on, I'm scared for him. I don't think he'll be able to take care of himself…"
"I have the same feeling about Chet, man." said Lorenzo, "We may have spent a year arguing and fighting after my dad and his mom tied the knot, but after making up in the Ridonculous Race, he's become more of my brother. And I'm nervous to see what's gonna happen with him. If he dies, then…" Lorenzo sniffled, "I don't know what I'm gonna do…"
"Yeah, me neither…" said Jay, patting Lorenzo on the back, "I-I wonder how my brother's doing with his team right now…"
At the cabin where the Scary Squirrels were situated, Dwayne looked out of the cabin to see if there were any zombies nearby. But there weren't any… for now…
Dwayne shut the door and faced the rest of the team. "Well, we got rid of a couple of zombies… But there are more than what we've just killed!" he said.
"Exactly!" Kelly agreed, "We all need to be careful at all times!"
As Kelly and Dwayne were explaining to their team what to do, the camera pans upstairs, then fades to one of the bedrooms, where Mickey lied on one of the beds, depressed that he does not have the soul to fight and defend himself.
Mickey stood up and faced the window, overlooking the forest. He looks up to the sky to see it getting darker. Not wanting to spend another minute staring out a window, he went to explore his room. After a couple of minutes of wandering, looking into closets, and peaking into drawers, Mickey dove underneath the bed he was on before and found a box of Choco Oinkees, a can of soda, and a stuffed pig.
"Hmm…" he said to himself, "I must've laid on Spud's bed." Mickey was about to leave them alone, but then his stomach started to rumble. Mickey started thinking a bit more out loud, "Damn… I didn't have anything to eat today… Maybe I can eat a couple of Oinkees… Yet again, if I eat sugar, I may lose my mind. Mom always told me not to each too much sugar… Yet again, a no-thank-you bite won't hurt…"
Mickey looked at the box of Oinkees, opened it up, and picked up a piece. Observing the chocolate-covered bacon-flavored cereal piece, he took a sniff as if it were something he had never seen before. Mickey slowly moved his hand forward, slowly opening his mouth, nervous on what it was going to taste like. Mickey took a tiny bite from the piece. After what it seemed like 15 seconds, he swallowed the piece. Then he thought… it didn't taste that bad after all.
"Wow… that was the first time in a while I tried something new… and the end result was that it tasted good!" Mickey thought, happily.
Back downstairs, the team was getting assembled to leave the cabin.
"Alright! Now that we've packed up, let's get a move-on!" said Kelly.
Kelly and Dwayne signaled their fellow campers to follow them, unaware that they are missing one. As they left, they were also unaware of the fact they they left the door open.
While the Squirrels were leaving, Mickey laid on the bed, happily, while also cuddling with the plush pig. But then he became a bit tired. He, along with everyone else, hadn't had a good sleep in the main cabin. He yawned.
"I'm feeling kinda tired…" he said.
Mickey slowly closed his eyes. Eventually, he drifted to sleep, cuddling with the pig he had next to him.
While Mickey was asleep, the Squirrels sensed something warm. It was getting warmer, and warmer, hot.
"Uh, guys? Does anyone else feel like there's a fire or something near us?" asked Trent.
The Squirrels looked around a bit, but then Geoff sees the main cabin ablaze. He cried, "Woah, dudes! The main cabin's on fire!"
The fire seemed like it was burning at a nonstop pace. All the Squirrels could do was slowly back away from the burning cabin. "T-the Hawks were here. What happened to them?" asked Mike.
"I'm hoping they didn't burn to death!" said a worried Sanders.
MacArthur and Geoff gasped, fearing that their loved ones were in there. They fell to their knees, with both taking off their hats.
"Something wrong?" asked Zoey.
MacArthur and Geoff were still in shock, still looking at the burning cabin.
Mike went over to his girlfriend and whispered something about them, causing Zoey to go wide-eyed. "Oh no…" she said. Going down to their level, Zoey put her hands on their shoulders and said, "Don't worry… hopefully they'll be alright."
"How can you be so sure?" asked Geoff.
"Think about it… what do you do when there's a fire?"
"Stop, drop and roll?" Geoff asked.
"Evacuate?" MacArthur guessed.
Zoey and Mike nodded. "But maybe evacuate first." said Mike, "If they're on fire, then they should stop, drop and roll."
"Yeah," said Emma, chiming in, "I mean, Chris McLean would never leave the team he's leading to die in a fire, right?"
Mike and Zoey frowned, looking at each other, nervously, thinking about all the shit Chris has done to them in Revenge of the Island and All-Stars.
Emma sighed, "I wonder how Kitty and Noah are doing on the Ugly Urchins. I'm hoping to god they're okay themselves…"
"And I wonder how my son's doing too!" Dwayne remarked.
Further up north of the Squirrels, the Ugly Urchins were taking the road, heading north to find any civilization they could find. Most of the Urchins, however, were starting to get tired from walking such a long distance.
"Alright." said Chef, "We should probably camp out for the night."
"But, what if there are zombies?" asked Kitty.
"Don't worry…" said Chef, "If they're coming, they're coming for this…" he held up an axe.
Shawn climbed up a tree, hoping to avoid getting his brains gnawed off by a horde. Jasmine followed him up, but turned to the others.
"Well don't just stand there." she said, "If anyone else wants to come up, come. None of us want to be killed, right?"
A couple of others looked at each other, then climbed up a couple of trees themselves.
Junior looked at a star, which had suddenly appeared, and then whispered something nobody can understand.
"Alright!" announced Chef, "I need some of y'all to help me detect some zombies!"
Alejandro jumped down from a tree. "No worries, Chef." he said, confidently, "I can help out!"
"Good."
Up on the same tree Alejandro climbed off, Justin rolled his eyes in disbelief. "Unbelievable…" he said, "He would really sacrifice himself?"
"Well, no shit." said Eva, "If there are zombies, he'd be willing to sacrifice himself for our sake! And what have YOU done? Nothing!"
"There was also last night when you forced Alejandro to break up a fight between Stephanie and Anne Maria." Noah pointed out.
Stephanie and Anne Maria looked at each other, then glared at each other, remembering their fight.
"Yeah, all because one of them hit you in the face." said Sam.
"I don't want any bodily harm to my face!" argued Justin.
"Well, whatever." said Noah, "If you feel like you want to go down and join Al, then be our guest."
Down below them, Alejandro flinched at being called 'Al'.
"I choose to stay up here, and that's final." Justin confirmed.
"Suit yourself…" said Noah.
Everyone else looked at each other, then shrugged their shoulders. As the Urchins watched the sun go down, they could not help but worry about their own friends.
Elsewhere, the Squirrels were walking across a dense forest. They were setting up camp themselves.
"Are you sure we have to camp out here tonight? Shouldn't we just find some shelter in case some zombies come here?" asked Gwen.
"Well we can't find any shelter, dumbass…" Duncan retorted.
A couple of glares were sent to Duncan's way. Duncan just brushed them off like they were just little maggots.
"C'mon, dude, knock it off." Trent warned Duncan.
"Or what?"
"Duncan, are you still upset over Mickey's inability to fight?" asked Harold.
Duncan rolled his eyes and folded his arms, "Psshh, yeah… 'cause he's really gonna end up dead in a zombie apocalypse…"
Gwen threw a rock at Duncan, who just sidestepped away from it.
"Duncan, you're an asshole!" snapped Gwen, before getting a couple of shushes down from a couple of peers, forcing her to whisper, "What if Mickey hears you?!"
"Mickey'll hear me? I doubt it…"
"By the way, where is Mickey?" asked Kelly.
The Squirrels looked around to see where Mickey was. However, Mickey was nowhere in sight. A couple of people wanted to call out Mickey's name, but they couldn't if it means attracting zombies.
"Uhh… Dwayne? You don't think Mickey's back at that cabin, right?" asked a worried Kelly.
Dwayne's eyes popped up. The last time they saw Mickey was at the cabin, on the second floor, where Duncan caused Mickey to cry for not being a worthy fighter or a defender.
"I can find him." Rock raised his hand.
Everyone looked at him as if they were to tell him that he is crazy.
"Why you?" asked Kelly.
"Because, I remember something: Spud had his Choco Oinkees over there, and everyone knows how much he loves Choco Oinkees, right?"
Some people nodded.
"So Spud and I are gonna go back to the cabin and find Mickey."
"Are you sure?" asked Dwayne. When Rock nodded his head, he said, "Okay, but you should be armed with these…" Dwayne threw Rock a pistol and a baton. "In case there are zombies that come about, use these at all cost!" Rock nodded. "You need to find Mickey at all costs! If you find him alive, bring him back here! If you find him dead… just let us know…"
"Doesn't he need some kind of radio or walkie-talkie to talk to you or something?" asked Zoey.
"I'll be alright, dude." Rock said, "Besides, Spud is a good detector of chocolates… it's kinda weird if you think about it, but that may be part of his little system."
Spud was sniffing around inside a tree stump.
"Errr, Spud? What are you sniffing in there for?"
Spud reaches inside the stump and finds a sticky, brownish-yellow substance. It was dripping down. Inside the substance were prismatic cells made of wax, with a couple of yellow-striped insects sleeping inside.
"Guys, look! I found this weird sticky thing in this stump!" Spud told everyone else.
Rock went over to examine the substance. "Spud, that's honey…"
Taylor walked over to see it herself. "If we're supposed to eat food from nature, then I'll pass…"
"Well it's better than you eating food from out of a can." Gwen joked. A couple of people laughed at her joke. Taylor just groaned and rolled her eyes.
"And what are those things inside those…" Taylor began, before realizing something, "Oh. My. God… You're holding a part of a beehive!"
Spud looked at the chunk of beehive as if there was nothing wrong with it. The bees woke up from their little slumber, saw Spud, and crawled onto his hand.
A couple buzzed off his hand back to their tree stump, while one remained on Spud's wrist, stinging it.
"Woah, did it just sting you?" Taylor asked, surprised.
Spud looked at his stung wrist, but did nothing. "What's going on with potato sack?" Taylor asked Rock.
"He has delayed reaction. It's a long story to tell you."
Everyone else stared at them, as Rock took the beehive chunk and placed it back into the stump.
"Alright, Spud and I are gonna go find Mickey. Wish us all the best of luck, dudes!" Rock said, as he and Spud walked off.
A couple people waved them off, but Duncan, still folding his arms, called out, "It's your funeral if you go, Rockhead…"
Rock flipped Duncan off upon hearing it.
"Do you think they're all gonna make it back?" asked Trent.
Kelly and Dwayne look at each other, confused. They don't know what will happen with the duo, or if they'll find Mickey or not.
As dusk turned to night, Rock and Spud kept on walking.
"Urrrgh… you know what I forgot?" asked Rock, "A flashlight…"
"Oh… that's… spooky…" Spud said.
"Well, at least I have some weapons on me, so if we hear zombies…" Rock turned to see that the main lodge has already been burnt to the ground. "Jeez… that burnt down fast…" The duo still continued on.
Suddenly, Spud started sniffing vigorously.
"What is it, Spud?" Rock asked his friend.
"I smell Oinkees… and they're…" he took a big whiff, and it was coming from not afar. "OINKEEEEEEEE!" Spud cried, as he sprinted in the direction of where the scent was coming from.
"No, Spud! You're gonna attract some zombies!" Rock ran after Spud, but Spud was running much faster than him, faster than his, or Rock's, legs could carry them.
Eventually, Spud reached the cabin with the door still open, running inside, and taking a huge amount of whiffs around each corridor.
Rock ran inside, but then his eyes widened when he saw that the door was open, thinking that a zombie could've came in and devoured on Mickey.
Spud sprinted up the stairs. His thundering foot sounds climbing up the stairs scared Mickey awake. Mickey ran to the door, tripping along the way, and tried pushing the door shut.
"Give me Oinkees!" cried Spud.
"Get away from me, you beasts!" yelled Mickey, "I don't taste good!"
Spud got confused, "What? Do Oinkees talk to me now?"
Rock followed his friend up the stairs and said, "No, dude. That's Mickey! He's in that room."
"Then why do I smell Oinkees in there?"
Mickey looks shocked, realizing that the Oinkees were meant for Spud. "Oh… uh, Spud?"
"Yes that's me!"
"Um… were those your Oinkees that I had?" Mickey gulped upon asking that question.
Rock opened the door before Spud could say something. "Mickey, what were you doing here, man? We were worried about you…"
"Sorry, Rock." Mickey said, glumly, "I thought no one would find me. After Duncan said that I was better off being a zombie's side dish or whatever the heck he said to me."
"Dude, don't listen to Duncan, man." Rock reassured, "He may be having a bad day or something. It's just that he-"
"I'm bad at defending myself!" Mickey interrupted.
Rock looked at Mickey, upset for the helmet-wearing adversity twin. He realized that Mickey had his spirits broken by Duncan, which was what caused the zombie horde to attack the Squirrels.
"Listen, man. We can talk about this or something."
Mickey shook his head.
"Yeah we can. I can help you train myself. In fact, Spud can help me, right Spud?" Rock turned to see his big friend, who had his eyes widened. "Spud?"
Spud looked down to see his wrist that was still in pain from the bee sting. It was that moment that the reaction to the sting has kicked in. Spud started moaning in pain.
"Spud, whatever you're gonna do, don't do it!" Rock tried to calm Spud down.
Mickey became confused, "What's wrong with him?" he asked.
"He has delayed reaction. And he-"
Rock was cut off by Spud, who started screaming in pain. He held out his wrist and started banging it against the wall. Mickey and Rock looked at each other, fearfully.
Outside, a couple of zombies attracted to the screaming started walking in the cabin. Slowly, they started climbing up the stairs.
"SHUT UP, DUDE!" Rock yelled at Spud. Spud's screaming came back to a moan again.
But then, they started hearing hisses. The trio looked outside of the room to hear the zombies hissing and tripping from the stairs.
Mickey turned to Rock and asked him, frantically, "What are we going to do?"
Rock looked at Mickey, then looked back at the stairs. Things were getting dangerous, and Rock was the only one to figure out a plan to survive an incoming zombie attack. Mickey was shivering in fear, while Spud was nursing his wrist. And this left Rock. All the skinny rocker could do was think.
