Hello, guys! :) I have really nothing important to say this chapter, so let's just get on with it, shall we?

Chapter 6

The camera fades from black to the scenery of the island. Unlike the other times, the time of day is night. Multiple recordings are shown according to John's intro:

John: "Last time on Total Drama Royale!: I took the liberty of adding some tweaks to flag football: me being able to throw them at campers while they're trying to pull the flags off other players. Ella has been making some moves on Dave while Sky is trying to redeem herself with the same guy! Mike continues to hear voices in his head! And two couples are starting to brew it up (DuncanxSamey, CameronxGwen)… unless I have anything to say about it, which I guarantee I will! And finally, my spinner idea has finally displayed its potential, sending home not just Shawn, but also Lightning and Scott!"

The camera zooms around the burning campfire with John standing behind it. He is dressed up as a medieval knight in full steel body armor with a steel lance. The flames of the fire lightly illuminate John's front. John: "Tonight's challenge will be in my favorite time of day: night! Not only will this episode bring out the prince and princesses in our campers, but it is also a special challenge! Don't go anywhere cause this episode starts right now! On Total… Drama… Royale!"

(Total Drama Theme Song plays)

The camera shows an overview of the main island from the beach. The night is quiet as a cold breeze continuously flows, rustling the leaves of trees. The campfire has been put out and with dark clouds overhead, the mansion has a haunted aura.

The camera shows the mansion dining room. It is almost completely dark since the clouds block any moonlight. Tip-toeing across the room, there is a silhouette of a human with a round head with a very large bag.

The camera shows Zoey peacefully sleeping in her mansion bed. A black shadow appears over her and a silhouette of arms reaches over and puts duct tape on her mouth. Zoey instinctively wakes up and tries to scream, but her voice is muffled. In surprise of the situation, the silhouette takes her by the arms and pulls her into the bag.

The camera shows the same things happening with all the females on the island (Gwen, Samey, Beth, Sky, and Ella) and each have very similar reactions.

The scene changes to around the campfire circle way later then the kidnappings. The wind has slightly picked up, so now the breeze is even colder. On the shore of the beach are six canoes. There, John, dressed in his medieval armor, raises his bullhorn and sets it to the highest volume. After pressing a button, a horn sounds not only through the bullhorn, but also throughout the cabins and the mansion. The sound is the horns from 'The Purge'.

The camera simultaneously shows all the male campers (Owen, Duncan, Alejandro, Cameron, Mike, and Dave) wake up drastically and shoot out of their beds. As they are still shown simultaneously frightened out of their wits, the horn turns off and John's voice is heard: "All available campers report to the fire pit immediately! I repeat, immediately!"

The scene switches back to John at the fire pit once more. From the direction of the cabins, Mike and Alejandro come sprinting to the pit with Owen and Dave right behind them.

Mike, panicked and disoriented: "What's happening? Who's here?"

Alejandro, panicked and disoriented: "Where are the other weapons? How many are there?"

Owen, panicked and exhausted: "We're all going to die! Aaaauuuggh!"

Dave, hyperventilating and confused: "Where's Sky? *pant* *pant* Where's Ella?" Dave puts his hand to his knees, but winces and jerks his hands away. They are still in bad condition with heavy rashes.

John, pleased: "Hold your horses! We need to wait for the rest of us!"

Seconds later, Duncan comes sprinting from the mansion with Cameron lagging behind.

Duncan, on guard, looking around: "Where are they? Come on, I can take them!"

Soon, Cameron finally reaches the group of boys painting and coughing heavily. Cameron, exhausted: "Pl-please! Don't leave me here!"

John, laughing: "Ah, just what I wanted to see! I knew that horn was worth the price!"

Alejandro, skeptical: "Wait, what's going on exactly?"

John: "Our challenge! You guys like the night, right?"

Duncan, pissed: "Are you kidding me? If it wasn't for the night thing, I'd be beating you to a pulp right now."

Dave, louder: "Hey! Where's Sky and Ella?"

Cameron: "And Zoey?... Wait where's Gw- where are all of the girls?"

John: "They are each somewhere in the triangle. And for those of you who forgot what I meant by triangle, I mean all of the islands. That's why you are provided with canoes to get to different ones." John bends down a picks up a weaved basket with keys in them. Attached to the keys are notes. John: "Somewhere, your 'princess' awaits your rescuing! In my hands is a basket with keys and notes attached to them. Each note has a riddle to whereas the key's info. Your key either goes along with possibly handcuffs, a cage, a trapdoor, or some other object."

Cameron, agitated: "What?! You put Gwen underground?"

All the guys looked at him. John, shrugging: "I may have. I may have not. Don't know how you jumped to that conclusion, but only the key to her restraint will tell. Anywho, your objective is to save your princess, find a copy of the key to the gallery deck of the lighthouse, and meet me on the deck. Your 'princess' should have another clue with another riddle that tells where to find a key to the lighthouse. And just like with any princess, there will be a guardian."

Owen, on his knees: "Please tell me they're bunnies! Please tell me they're bunnies! Please, please!"

John: "Nope. But to give you a hint on what to expect, let's just say if you're lucky, your guardian won't be mutated."

Owen: "Bro, what did I just say?"

John: "Do whatever is necessary to win, as long as it's legal. And on a farewell note, a word of warning. At the beginning of this season, I swear there were a whole bunch of different animals on these islands. There were kangaroos on Prairie Island and some chickens on this one, but their gone now, and I don't know what happened to them. Plus, the weather has been acting up, so time your movement across the waters carefully. Any questions?"

Everyone shook their heads. John: "Then good luck and get outta here." John drops the basket to the floor and blows a horn. Quickly, the boys rush to get a key. Mike and Cameron huddle together as they get theirs.

Cameron: "Mine says 'She is the closest to her name right now'. How is that even a riddle?"

Mike: "'Under the centroid'. Centroid? What's a centroid again, Cam?"

Cameron: "It's where the 3 medians of a triangle meet." His eyes grow wide. "That's it for yours! The center of the triangle! That's the same island with the lighthouse!" His eyes grow even wider. "That's it again! The lighthouse! That's closest to the-"

Mike: "Sky! Sky's on the island with the lighthouse like mine! Thanks for the help, Cam! Come on, I can help you with you boat!"

As the two friends rush off two the beach, Duncan and Alejandro look over theirs. Duncan: "'Llorona, Llorona, the lady of white. In the colors of black, in the dead of night.' Seriously? Twenty bucks says he got lazy with these."

Alejandro: "'Merida, be brave! Thy mother has turned! Your arrow can save her! Bring back what was yourned!' I don't know about mine, but I know Llorona is a Latin American legend of a pale ghost."

Duncan stood there for a moment, then started to walk towards the canoes. Alejandro: "Wait! What did you figure out?"

Duncan, without turning around: "That this is a racist riddle. I have no clue with yours, bro! Good luck with that!"

Alejandro murmurs Spanish words under his breath. He notices that Dave and Owen are still around also in a huddle and walks toward them. Alejandro: "Hola amigos! A little help?"

Dave carefully places his key in his pocket, being sure not to trigger any pain on either hand. Dave: "Sure, if this is going to come back to me in the future. Let's see it."

Alejandro: "You've already deciphered yours, amigo? Most impressive."

Dave, shrugging: "It was the song that the seven dwarfs sung in 'Snow White.' I'm no Ella, but I can at least recognize a classic when I see one. Let me see yours." Alejandro gives his note to Dave, who reads it for himself. Dave: "Merida, Merida, Marida… hold on, I got this one…" Dave snaps his fingers. "Merida is the redhead from 'Brave'. If I remember correctly, her mother turned into a bear by a witch."

Alejandro, nodding: "Most likely Zoey, guarded by a bear, but that doesn't give me where."

Dave: "The setting is in a forest. I know that doesn't help too much, but that eliminates Prairie Island and the lighthouse."

Alejandro: "Which means she's here or on Volcano Island. Demonio! Well, gracias, amigo. And remember, I am also your friend. If you ever need me, just ask." Alejandro turns as he goes to the canoes as Dave watches him.

(Confessional)

[Dave]: "Ok, many things I want to say! One, I don't trust that guy and the only reason I helped him was because it seemed like something Zoey would do. I figured since she made so far in every other competition, she's doing something right. From what I can tell, she's just friendly to everyone, even to people who may trick you. Second, my hands are killing me so bad."

[Alejandro]: "I know he's coming to my side soon. It's only just a matter of opportunity before he turns. Just have to wait for the ripe moment."

(End)

Dave shakes his head as if he was daydreaming and looks at Owen's note. Dave: "'Home Island'. Wow, how can you ever figure that one out. Got an idea on where to search?"

Owen, panicked: "No! This island is big!" Owen's eyes light up. "Oh! I should start with the kitchen!"

Dave: "Your princess is goanna eat you if you guys lose for that."

Owen: "Yeah, but the kitchen is open! How can I miss out on this?"

Dave: "I'll be attending your funeral if you lose, big guy. Good luck." With that, Dave calmly walks to the boats while Owen bounces on to the mansion.

With that, see you guys next time! :D
