(CS) Confession Stall
"Welcome to Total Drama Terra! (Narrated by Chris)
"Last week, after enjoying a nice relaxing breakfast two of the campers had their past come back to haunt them in the form of demented former babysitters. We got to see Kai learning to ride with training wheels, and Lark in a puffy pink dress. The two left and consoled each other in their mutual embarrassment before returning for the days challenge."
"A high school bully favorite, War ball."
"It started out with the Flying Squirrels making hamburger meat out of the Koloa's. Dark Ace took the lead in stomping them flat with his mad skills, but met resistance in the form of his current employer Lark, who turned out to be a living legend of the sport."
"Dark Ace and Shadow were able to turn the tides of the battle, but it was Shadow's fall that ultimately nearly cost the Koloa's the game, as well as some pretty hefty medical bills."
"Ouch" (Shows scene where Lark was hit by "Rasengan" ball)
"Victory was within the Squirrels grasp, but in the end it was Fate that turned out to be against them."
"Literally, I mean, come on people. It's her name, get it?"
"Anyways, Fate struck out all seven members of the Flying Squirrels in one totally awesome display of pure PWNAGE!"
"We then witnessed our most dramatic campfire ceremony yet when Repton turned out to be the biggest loser."
"What will happen this week when the campers face their most terrifying challenge yet? Will they be able to survive though another one of my challenges? I hope so, because I've still got plenty more left in store for them. Find out now on."
"Total! Drama! Terra!"
Silence
It was such a beautiful thing Lark thought to herself. The past few weeks the young ruler had experienced more emotions than she had in her entire life thus far. Never before had she been so embarrassed and humiliated, while at the same time she had never had so much fun.
Growing up as a noble, her every day followed a ridged narrow path. But here, she realized that despite being powerless politically, and at the mercy of a game show host crueler than the last five generations of her family put together, she was enjoying herself. If, for no other reason than she could sleep in and get up whenever she felt like doing so. Yes there were the challenges, but those were only held once every three days. The other two days the campers had off to do as they pleased.
It was surprising really. The two sides maintained a peaceful coexistence, playing on the same side in some cases.
Never would she have ever thought that the day would come that she and Aerrow would be able to have a peaceful conversation outside of battle. The thought of ever seeing Dark Ace and his daughter get along like a normal family was something she had only thought of as a joke to pass time. And by the Oracle stone, she would have thought herself dead before finding common ground with Kai.
But none of that mattered right now. Right now everything was quiet, peaceful, and tranquil. The young ruler allowed a content smile to spread across her face.
Submarine dive horn!
"Attention campers! Wakkie wakkie! It's six a.m. Time to get up for today's totally awesome challenge!" Chris's voice was called out over the intercom system.
Lark groaned knowing that the last vestiges of sleep she had been clinging to were now completely out of her reach.
(CS)
"When this is over, I will see to it personally that Chris MacClean takes a long walk of a short plank into the wastelands." Lark said while trying to hold back a massive yawn.
(CS) End
"Suzi. I thought you said you were going to take care of him." Kai mumbled from underneath his pillow.
"I did. But he apparently can pick locks." Suzi said rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"What did you do?" Piper asked from her top bunk.
(CS)
"Last night, or was it early this morning? Doesn't really matter, anyways, I swapped out all the locks on Chris's trailer, and installed a few new ones. My intention was to force him to eat the same slop he forces us to eat, but it looks like that didn't work out eh?" Suzi smiled sleepily to the camera.
(CS) End
"Come on slowpokes! Time to go go go go!" Shadow shouted from the doorway before zipping out again.
Groan
"Who gave Shadow coffee?" Piper asked banging her head on the beds wooden post.
"I did!" Tigger laughed from outside. "Payback for Junko's snoring!" She called out before running to catch up to her friend.
"I'm going to kill her." Dark Ace mumbled as he woke from the depths of slumber. His normally red eyes were now doing a grand impression of Oblivion crystals.
"Careful, that might be your future niece in law." Rondana joked.
A few minutes later the two teams were seated in two sets of bleachers before a stage with a single microphone in the center. Chris then walked up wearing his usual smile, so the campers all shared the same basic thought.
"Were screwed..."
"Morning campers, and welcome to our one of a kind, extreme outdoors amphitheater!" Chris's voice echoed. "Today you will be participating in a summer camp favorite, the talent show."
Everyone looked around nervously.
"Sing, dance, juggle, do whatever you want, so long as it's legal." When he said this, Chris pointed at the spot where Suzi-Lu, Kai and Dark Ace were sitting.
Kai shrugged his shoulders, Dark Ace snorted and Suzi kicked the bleacher in front of her out of disappointment.
"You will have eight hours to choose the three campers that you feel will best represent your team. You can have more than one person up at a time, but it will count against your total of three. So, say if Piper and Starling were to sing a duet, that would count as two of your total three."
At this point Tigger raised her hand.
"Yes Pooh?"
Several days ago, Chris gave up picking on Rondana since she apparently no longer cared about his calling her Rodan. Since then he decided to pick on Tigerlily by calling her names from various children's storybooks.
Tigger didn't mind it so much; Aladd on the other hand had to be restrained.
"How will we be judged?" Tigger asked not even noticing the fact that it was taking both Aerrow and Snipe to hold back the ravenous Aladd, who was currently foaming at the mouth.
"A very good question, It would be unfair to have you judged by the nonparticipants, since I'm pretty sure they wouldn't give the opposing team a fair score. Originally Chef Hatchet was going to judge you guys via Chef-o-meter." Chris pointed at the sign with a series of lights that made a bar graph.
"Why isn't he now?" Piper asked, trying not to sound nosey, but failing miserably.
"Weeellllll… apparently someone put marbles under the welcome mat of my trailer. Fortunately for me, my alarm didn't go off this morning, and he came to wake me. So he's kind of out of it at the moment." Chris explained.
Nobody noticed Rondana snapping her fingers in disappointment.
(CS)
"Dang, I thought I had him. Oh well, there's always next time right?" At this point Rondana's grin grew slightly more menacing.
(CS) End
Someplace… far far away…
"Master Yoda, is something troubling you?"
"Great pain, and suffering I sense. Awakened a great darkness has. Not seen in many generations has it been." The small green alien's voice was full of grief, and just a touch of sorrow for whatever poor soul was responsible for bringing this upon themselves.
Back to TDT
"So, since Master Chef is currently eating through a straw, I called in a few favors, pulled a few strings and got you some replacement judges." Chris grinned when he saw that the campers look slightly relieved, which in turn made them even more nervous than before.
"Who are they?" Ravess asked eyeing the man wearily.
"Oh, I'm sure that a few of you might recognize them. I'll give you a few hints. One of them is royalty." Chris grinned at Marina.
Marina's face paled. "No, he wouldn't bring Zelda into this would he?...He would."
"One of them is the nearly undefeated champion of extreme gameage." As Chris said this he was looking at Suzi-Lu.
Suzi blanched. "NOOOO! I came here to get away from Billy!"
"And the last one is the single most evil and malevolent being to ever walk the face of this world….or any other world."
Everyone stared at Chris.
Cricket chip
Chris's smile slipped into a frown. "Dude's, it's not me."
Kai, Starling, and Suzi turned white as ghosts. "They got Kai's mom!"
Aladd and Tgger shared the same, but slightly different thought. "They got Tigger's mom!"
Shadow and Rondana's thoughts were completely different. "Gasp! They got Bingles?! RUN!"
"I don't see anyone here. Where are they?" Aerrow asked calmly. He was pretty sure that all of this was just a bluff, and he had just called it.
"Oh, you want to meet them?" Chris asked genuinely surprised. He had thought that they would go about their business and choose who was going to represent their teams.
Everyone nodded Yes.
"Alright." Chris took a few steps back. After biting his thumb, he performed a quick series of hand signs that ended with him slamming his open palm on the stage. "Summoning jutsu! Darkness, Emo, Evil trio!"
A plum of purplish smoke filled the area. When it cleared three dark figures emerged.
The first one looked like an average teenage girl. That is until she lowered the hood of her dark blue cloak. Her hair was a dark purple color, which was not so odd around Atmos. Her skin however was a light ash grey color, which was unheard of. She looked mildly surprised, but upon seeing Chris her eyes narrowed in annoyance.
The second to emerge was….bazaar, even by Atmosian standards. Though it was not all that uncommon for people the have, spiky, brightly colored hair, it was unheard of for anyone to have spiky, multi-colored hair that was twice the size of their head. The second was a teen male dressed in what appeared to be a leather battle suite, complete with platform military boots. Around his neck was what several would have guessed to be the ultimate in all that is bling, a fist sized gold triangular medallion. None of this was noticed though; everyone was staring at his hair. Red, blond and black… all at once!
"Uh, did you stick your finger in a wall socket or something?" Aladd asked, garnering a deathly glare from what the others later nicknamed 'the man-child'.
The last to emerge was the biggest surprise yet.
Standing at six foot two, and dressed in a black sweatshirt with jeans stood.
A normal everyday human.
There was absolutely nothing about him that would make you think that he was anything more than an average everyday human…
Lark, Dark Ace, Fate, Rondana and Kai however, all felt a large hole tear open in their stomachs. They knew that whoever this third man was, he was evil incarnate.
"Well, here they are, you judges for the-" Chris was cut off.
"YOU AGAIN! YOU IDIOT! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!" The teen boy (who voice was deeper than Dark Ace's) shouted at Chris.
Chris seemed to be deep in thought for a moment, but shrugged his shoulders, as if to say no and he didn't care.
"I was in the middle of a duel! And by warping me out, you made me lose by disqualification! I've lost my title of "King of Games" thanks to you!" The teen snarled, and then paled before dropping to his knees. "Oh by Anubis no. With Tea as the new King of games, they'll replace all the promotions for Duel Academy and my hair gel commercials with PSA's on friendship. YOU'VE DESTROYED MY ENTIRE WORLD!" He shouted before being enveloped in a gold light.
"Uh, Pharaoh's not very happy at the moment, but I'll fill in for him." The same boy (who now almost sounded like a girl) said.
"What the! What happened to your hair! And your voice! And how did you shrink by a full foot?!" Rondana shouted.
"What are you talking about? I'm the same now as I was when I arrived here?" He replied looking genuinely confused.
"No you're not! You were a foot taller, and your hair was sticking up, and you sounded like somebody cool! And what was that light?!" Suzi asked jumping up poking the small boy in the chest.
"Really, I don't know what you're talking about. Nothing's changed. If I shrank by a foot then my pants would be longer, see." He pulled at the material and showed that they were in fact fitting him perfectly. "so it's safe to say that I'm perfectly normal, and I don't have the spirit of a 5000 year old pharaoh in my necklace…"
Aladd of course was paying more attention to the female of the trio. "So, you from around here? He asked flirtingly.
The girl looked at him as though he had grown a second head. "Right….step away from me now, of I will throw you into the ocean." She replied with a monotone voice.
"Aw, I bet you couldn't do that..AAHHHHHHHHH!!" Aladd was enveloped in a field of black energy and thrown into a nearby tree, lifted up, then slammed into the ground over and over.
(CS)
"This girl, I like." Lark said with a large grin.
(CS)
"Seriously, when is he ever going to learn?" Tigger was about to continue when a voice was heard shouting from outside.
"Never!"
Tigger shook her head before leaving the stall.
(CS) End
The others watched in shock, well, aside from Lark, Suzi, and Chris, who were now sitting in lawn chairs with jumbo tubs of popcorn.
"Ok, that one scares me." Shadow said taking a few steps back.
When she was finally finished, (and Aladd was knocked out) Chris introduced them. "The lovely lady with the wicked temper is Miss Rachael Roth; I guess you could say that I was her father's right hand man for a couple of years back in the day." The girl looked over the campers with a mixture of boredom and disdain.
"Next, we have Yugi Moto, currently ex-King of Games and ultimately the one responsible for getting me stuck here with my dead end job." The teen stepped forward and gave a slight bow before turning to Chris.
"I warned you, but you're the one that challenged me to a Shadow Game in the first place. This is your fault grave-robber not mine." He said sternly.
Ignoring the comment, Chris walked up to the third one and held out his hand. "Hey Simon, long time no see, how's it going." The two knocked knuckles together before turning to face the campers. "People, I want you to meet someone very important to me. This is Simon Cowell, we met back in collage, what? Fifteen years ago?"
"That sounds reasonable." The man replied. The campers were horrified to see that he wore the same small evil grin as Chris did when thinking about torturing puppies.
"Anyways, we're pretty much brothers, and I hope that you guys wont mind, but while your getting ready and practicing, we'll be floating around."
At this point the two groups split up heading into different directions.
"Hey, want to play a children's card game?" Yugi asked Rachel. His smile brimming with hope, happiness, innocence and joy.
The girl seemed to mull it over for a minute before shrugging her shoulders. "I've got nothing better to do." With that the two walked out to the beach area.
"Super Special Awesome!" Yugi exclaimed.
With the Flying Squirrels
"So, any volunteers or are we going straight to the draft?" Piper asked sitting on one of the bleachers in front of the stage.
"Well, I can do a Wallop folk roar." Junko said raising his hand.
"NO!" Piper shouted. When she saw that everyone was staring at her she added. "It wouldn't be fair to the others; we need to see what they can do first." She said nervously.
Dove held up her hand. "I con play the spoons." She said sheepishly.
Piper groaned. "This might take awhile." She said rubbing her temples.
With the Cuddly Koloa's
"Does anyone on this team have anything worth showing off?" Lark asked looking down at her clipboard full of notes.
"Well, I can do a ventriloquist act with Radarr." Aerrow offered.
The others just stared at him stupefied.
(CS)
"What? It's not that bad! Besides its actually pretty funny to watch." Aerrow said defensively.
(CS) End
Groan "This is going to be a long day, I know it." Lark said slamming her head onto the table she was sitting at.
"I can juggle swords." Marina said tapping her chin thoughtfully.
Lark quickly jumped back up. "NO! Last time you did that it almost killed me!"
"Oh come on, that was what? Seven? Eight? Years ago. I've been practicing." She said proudly puffing out her chest.
"Well, might as well give it a go." Lark said motioning to go ahead.
Back with Yugi) and Rachel
"Ok, since I've never played you before, I'll go easy on you and let you go first." The young boy said smiling as he deployed his duel disk.
"Your funeral." Rachel replied in the same monotone voice she had been speaking in since arriving. Her 'duel disk' was an ebony carved bird wing.
"Ok, to start things off, I'll summon Watapon in defense mode!" As the boy shouted out its name, a mass of white fur appeared on the field making a cooing sound.
Rachel raised an eyebrow. "You know, you should never underestimate an opponent, epically one that you're unfamiliar with." Though her tone was still monotone, you could hear a slight mocking ring to it.
"Hmm, so many ways so little time." She drew her card and grinned. "I'll start with Shard of Self: Rage." A cloaked figure similar to herselfappeared, only it was red, had four eyes, and was chained to a pillar. "Then I'll pass."
Yugi grinned. Though unfamiliar with the card summoned, he could thankfully read. So he knew it had zero attack points and defense points. So, without any further thought, he decided to go easy on the girl.
Big mistake…
"Watapon attack!"
When the puff ball connected with the cloaked figure, it exploded into a poof of fur, leaving him dumbfounded.
"Thank you, Shard of Self: Rage can only be freed by an opponents attack." Her face was passive, but you could hear the mocking tone grow.
With Chris and Simon
"So let me see if I have this straight. You made them jump off a thousand foot cliff into shark infested water the day they got here?" Simon asked incredulously.
"Yeah, it was totally awesome! Watch this!" Chris popped a message crystal into his MCP and fast forwarded it to Finn's jump.
"AAAAAAAAAHH!"
"Oh, I'd hate to be him!" Simon said hissing at the poor lad's pain.
"Dude, you don't know the half of it." Chris switched to a second crystal, this one titled, 'Finn's Falls' As soon as it started, Mozart's 'Joy to the world' started playing and the two watched every injury that Finn sustained in his six day tenure on the terra.
Back with the Squirrels
"COME ON PEOPLE! SOMEONE HERE HAS GOT TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING!" Piper shouted waking everyone up.
"Hey! What's wrong with my playing? Kai liked it!" Rondana shouted pointing at the single person still awake in the bleachers.
"That's because he's weird. Rondana, your piano music put everyone else to sleep." She said motioning to everyone else in the team.
Sure enough, they were out like lights. Dark Ace was slumped over with his face in the bowl of oatmeal he had brought with him for breakfast, Dove was using Junko as a pillow, Starling too had fallen asleep but was propped up by her elbows. The most interesting one in the group though was Junko.
Junko was curled into the fetal position sucking his thumb.
"You people have no respect for the classical arts!" She shouted stomping away from the stage.
"Hey, I can." Before she could even finish, Piper cut Suzi off.
"For the sixth and final time, NO! You are not going to do impressions of the other Sky Knights!" Piper shouted.
Suzi and Kai both snapped their fingers.
With the Koloa's
"STOP! DEAR LORD STOP!" Lark shouted covering her ears and eyes while rocking back and forth.
Stork was about halfway through his 'doom song' when she yelled out.
"That was the most depressing thing I've ever heard! Go, get some help!" She shouted while shivering to herself and muttering under her breath. 'All that isn't true, life is good, life is great."
"I can sing Disney songs!" Tigger shouted jumping up from her seat.
Aladd shivered at the memories of waking to "A whole new world" and "Under the sea" the first time Tigger stayed at the Rock Hearts HQ
"Ooooooookaaaaay, how old did you say you were?" Lark asked raising an eyebrow.
Back to the duel
Yugi was stunned. Currently he was receiving the whopping of a life time, but the girl carried on as though she was reading the newspaper. He had nothing fielded, while her side was full. After 'releasing' Rage, she played a field spell called 'Green Annoyance' with was nothing more than a flower filled field with some little green elf running around telling corny knock knock jokes. However, for every turn that it was in play, Rage gained another one thousand attack points, he currently doubted that even one of the God cards could save him.
Rachel was calm, cool and collected, on the outside. On the inside however, she was laughing like a madwoman. "No wonder Dick and Vic like having Garfield around so much, it really is fun to wax the floor with someone at their own game."
With Chris and Simon
Simon and Chris were clutching their sides howling with laughter. They had just finished the two hour tape and were still trying to recover.
"Oh wait, you've got to see this one!" Chris pulled out a second one that was simply titled 'Harrier'.
Back with the Squirrels
"Hey Shadow, cant you like sing, really gooAOOWOW!" Kai was jumping on one foot while holding the other.
Said girl was giving him a death glare.
"Well, I can sing, but I would need someone else to play music, or a karaoke machine." Piper said thinking out loud.
"I can sing, and play." The group turned to see Ravess standing with an oddly shaped string instrument.
"You can actually play the violin?" Piper asked, before muttering under her breath. "And here I thought you could only play the bow."
"I heard that, and this is not a violin, it's a fiddle." She replied sitting down with a grin.
The others raised an eyebrow, but leaned forward anyways to listen.
With the Koloa's
"TELL ME THAT SOMEONE ON THIS TEAM HAS SOME KIND OF TALENT!" Lark shouted. Getting up she grabbed Scarlett by the shirt and lifted her several inches off the ground with one hand. "Tell me what you can do… now!"
The frightened girl stuttered. "I I I I I c-can p-play t-the guitar..."
At this Aladd hopped up. "I can play base!
Stork reached up with one hand. "Uh, I can do drums."
Everyone looked at him blankly.
"What? You thought I just came up with my Doom Song on the fly? It was a hit before half of you were even born." He replied blowing a lock of hair out of his face.
"It would be a bit of a risk, I mean, if all three of you go up there at once, it would be our only shot, do you think you could pull it off? Marina asked somewhat doubtful.
"Hey trust me, what could possibly go wrong?" Aladd said slinging an arm around Tigger.
"And now you jinxed it." Fate said from the top bleacher, startling Aladd.
"AAH! Don't do that! I swear your doing it on purpose!" Aladd shouted.
(CS)
"Well what do you know, he's not entirely clueless after all." Fate said dryly.
(CS) End
Back to the Duel
The battle had gone back and forth. Yugi was lucky that Rage had not been immune to trap cards; otherwise he would have died a long time ago. He was however beginning to suspect that the girl was toying with him. No matter what he did, she stopped then topped. He finally removed the field spell Green Annoyance, after Rage reached six hundred thousand attack points; by playing the fusion only field spell. Imagine his surprise when she fused the various Shards of Self into Raven the White, which tore Slifer the Sky Dragon a new one before turning it into a pair of boots and matching belt. Deciding to try and limit what she could use, he tried various exclusive-zone field spells, none of which slowed her down in the least. The worst of which was the Ritual summons only field. As bad as 'Shard of Self' was, her daddy was ten times worst. After nearly eight hours of playing, he finally had her.
Or so he thought.
Currently, both were down to one hundred life points. Yami was pleased, (Yugi pleaded with him to switch out after the second turn) knowing that he was going to win. He had fielded Uria, Lord of the Searing Flame, and since most of his deck was currently in the graveyard, it had nine hundred thousand attack points. Rachel, only had three monsters left on the field, all of which looked like non-babyfied droids.
It was her last turn.
Drawing the last card of her deck she looked up with the same blank expression she had worn the entire day. 'If you surrender now, I wont embarrass you on national television." She said frankly.
Yami laughed. "I've won; there is nothing you can do to win. Finish your turn so I can finish you." He boasted proudly.
"I warned you. First I play Polymerzation to fuse T-Car, T-Sub and R-Cycle." The car split into two and connected to the sub before the motorcycle landed on top to form the head. "Into Titan's GoBot Five." 0/0
"A fusion card with no attack or defense points?" Yami asked almost laughing. "you might as well have put Mokuba on the field."
"Oh, it has plenty, five hundred points for every Titan in the graveyard." If you looked closely, you could see a small smirk on her face.
The large mecha glowed as both its attack points and defense points rose to eight hundred thousand.
"You're still a hundred thousand short." Yami quipped.
"Did I say I was done yet? Next I play limiter removal, which doubles its attack points."
The towering behemoth roared (despite not having a mouth) as its attack points sky rocketed.
Yami grinned. "As much as I've enjoyed this, I'm afraid that it ends here. I play Battle Fusion! Which allows me to add your monsters attack points to my own!"
Rachel yawned, still playing the part of a board girl kicking a boys butt at his own game. "Still my turn." She then held up a familiar card.
Battle Fusion.
Yami's eyes bulged.
Once again the towering behemoth roared as the attack point counter on Rachel's duel disk fell off. Yami had nearly wet himself and Rachel was now smiling wildly.
"Hm, I still have one card left, might as well use it. I play Super Polymerzation." She said holding the card up to the sky calmly as several lightning bolts struck around her.
Back with Chris andSimon
"How can anyone…" Simon couldn't finish the sentence; it was as though his brain was stuck in neutral. In all the years he had been in show business, he had never before seen anything like Harrier.
Chris however was on the floor laughing.
Suddenly there was a huge explosion that rocked the terra.
Chris and Simon ran to the amphitheater, and when they arrived, they found Rachel sitting calmly in one of the three chairs seated behind a table before the stage.
"Hey, where's Yugi?" Chris asked looking around.
Looking over her shoulder, the girl pointed behind them.
Turning around they saw the boy standing with a dumbfounded expression on his face mumbling incoherently.
"What happened?!" Aerrow came bursting through the woods.
"He wanted to play some card game, so I played." Rachel replied with her usual monotone voice.
"What's going on?" Dark Ace asked as The Flying Squirrels came walking up from the camp. (They were the smart ones, after all, who runs to the source of an explosion?)
"Well, would you look at that, time to get this show on the road." Chris said looking at his watch.
Yugi and Simon joined Rachel at the table as Chris climbed up onto the stage and taped the microphone.
"Ok, welcome to the Total Drama Terra, Extravaganza Talent Show!" (Techno music plays and spot lights spin around the stage)
First up, from our current underdogs the Flying Squirrels, Ravess!" A few of the campers clapped, but most just watched with a half-bored expression, that is until Ravess walked on stage.
Gone was the normal form fitting body suite, instead she was wearing a denim jacket over a white short sleeved shirt and a pair of whitewash jeans. The finishing touches were the large belt buckle, hat, and of course boots.
The judges were the first to recover as she pulled out her instrument.
Several members of the Kola's snickered, thinking that they had this one in the bag.
Snipe however paled.
(CS)
"Mom wanted us to be musicians, so she made us take lessons for almost fifteen years. Sis is wicked with anything on strings; but because of my hands, all I could ever play was drums or the triangle." Snipe added slightly miffed.
(CS) End
Ravess placed a small microphone on her jackets neckline before nodding to someone back stage.
Country music starts
Dark Ace went down to Atmosia
He was looking for a gem to steal
He was in a bind
Cause Lark's plans were way behind
And Carver had failed to seal the deal
When he came upon this young man
Ridding his skimmer hot to trot
And the Dark Ace jumped
Upon his ride
And said "boy let me tell you what!
I guess you should know it
But I'm a duelist too
And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you
Now you fight a pretty good fight boy
But give this Ace his due
I'll bet this here sword of old
Against the Aurora stone
Cause I know that I'm better than you
The boy said my name's Aerrow
And it's no sin
I'll take your bet
And you'r gonna regret
Cause I'm the best there's ever been.
Aerrow rosin your daggers and fight hard
Cause Cyclonia's broke loose in Atmosia and the Ace deals the cards
And if you win you'll get this rusty sword of old
But if you loose Ace'll get the stone.
Dark Ace pulled his blade
And he said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his blade ready to go
Then he pulled back his arm swung hard
And it made a sic evil hiss
And a band of Talons joined in
And it sounded something like this
Stomps foot several times while continuing to play
Everyone with the exception of Snipe was stunned. The woman's voice had dropped by several octaves, and her hand glided the bow across the instrument as though it were glass.
Aladd elbowed Aerrow in the side to get his attention. "Hey, who knew she was a base?"
When the Ace finished
Aerrow said your pretty good old man
Just stay on your ride over there
And I'll show you how we do things here
He hopped on Ace's ride
Got knocked off only to glide
Ace almost got you shouting your mine!
Beaten back and down before time to dine
Radarr saved you with a chicken thrown
Piper came shouting
No friend no
Playing speeds up
"She really is good isn't she?" Shadow asked her father, still marveling at the woman on stage.
"Did she just call me old?" He asked not hearing a word Shadow had said.
Aerrow bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And fell down to lay
on the ground at Piper's feet
Dark Ace said just come on back
If you ever want to try again
I've done told you once you little kid
I'm the best theirs ever been
He hopped on Ace's ride
Got knocked off only to glide
Ace almost got you shouting your mine!
Beaten back and down before time to dine
Radarr saved you with a chicken thrown
Piper came shouting
No friend no
She finished with a flourish before getting up and taking a bow.
Pretty much everyone except Aerrow (for the retelling of his greatest defeat) and Dark Ace (for being called old) clapped.
"Not bad. I wouldn't buy the CD, but I wouldn't change the station if it came on the radio. I give it five point five." Rachel said as she yawned.
"It was pretty good, been awhile since I've seen anything like it. I would say a solid six." Simon said, surprising Chris since he had never known the man to give anything over a four.
"It was horrible! Five minutes and not a single mention of any card games? That was the most-" Yami stopped to listen as Chris whispered something to him. "Really? None at all? Man this dimension sucks! Ok, I take back what I said earlier. It was horrible, because I hate country music and so does everybody else. I give it one and a half Dark Magicians."
Everyone looked at him oddly for a moment.
"Well Ravess, looks like you've given your team a good head start, thirteen out of a possible thirty, almost half, not bad. "
Ravess gave another bow before getting off the stage.
"Ok, the Cuddly Koloa's will only be doing a single act, so were going to let them go last for dramatic effect. Next up for the Flying Squirrels, Piper!"
Said bluenett poked her head out of the curtain then pulled back in before walking out nervously in what looked like a school girl outfit.
Aladd whistled, and was quickly hit over the head by both Aerrow and Tigger.
Swallowing a lump in her throat, Piper started tapping her foot to a beat and a few seconds later the music started.
(Pop music)
My mother asks when you gonna live your life right,
it's not a girls place to fight
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
The alarm sounds in the middle of the night
Cyclonis is on the move and we've got her in sight
Mother yells how much longer will you fight
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
That's all really want
Some fun
Each day after the fight is won
To some girls this is fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hid her thinking she's to weak to fight the world
I want to be one who fights in the sun
To some girls this is our fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
They want to have fun,
They just want to have fun…
When she finished, Piper was painting for breath and blushing red from head to toe, but she stayed up on the stage and waited for the judges ruling.
(CS)
"I may not listen to much in the way of Pop, but she did pretty good out there." Starling said looking slightly uncomfortable. "But I haven't the slightest clue why she would have chosen that particular song." She added.
(CS) End
"That was…interesting. But in the future, you should stick with what you're comfortable doing. I give it a four." Rachel said as she watched the girl twitch nervously.
"I disagree with Miss Roth. I think you did admirably. If a person sticks to doing what they feel confident in doing, they never improve or reach the next stage of development. I give the performance an eight." Piper's face lit up, she was nervous, but at the same time happy that she had done it.
"I agree, a person must move outside their zone of comfort to become stronger, and while I can tell that you probably are about to faint from sheer nerves alone, I say that the performance was very nice, it actually reminds me of back home, like when Joey proves numerous time that he's worth something by beating total strangers at card games! I give you four Dark Magicians and two Dark Magician Girls."
Once again everyone was dumbfounded by the grading scale, but accepted that it must mean that she did good since he was smiling.
"Alright Piper, very nice. You've given your team a boost. Eighteen out of thirty, very nice. The Koloa's better have some major mojo to top that, now get off my stage." Chris shoved Piper, who had been standing and waving to the cameras, off the stage and onto Aerrow.
"Opps, sorry bout that." Piper giggled as she got up.
Aerrow of course was frozen in place, having not moved a muscle since she had come out on stage.
(CS)
"AUGH! I cant believe that I just froze up and sat there like an idiot!" Aerrow shouted.
"I can!" Aladd's muffled voice could be heard from outside.
"Hey! This is supposed to be private! Don't make me come out there!" Aerrow shouted back.
"Oh? And just what are you going to do? Hit me with a toilet plunger?" He fired back.
Aerrow looked around and found something better.
The toilet brush
Grinning, he grabbed it and ran outside.
(CS) End
Dark Ace and Aladd snickered at this before each was wacked over the head by Tigger.
"Psst Kai, what are we going to do?" Suzi hissed between her teeth.
"Exactly what we originally planed to do in the first place." Kai said getting up and heading to the stage.
(CS)
"Thanks to Piper, we actually had a pretty good chance at winning. My job was to hit the other team hard and make sure they couldn't get up to fight back. I have no regrets for my actions." Kai said calmly as he went to get out.
"Hey! Who locked this thing from the outsi…Oh you have got to be…CHRIS! I'm going to kill you! Who the heck puts a quarter lock on the inside of the stall!" Kai shouted banging on the door before finally kicking it down."
(CS) End
"Ok, last up for the Flying Squirrels, Kai!" Chris then jumped off the stage not knowing what the older teen might do, and not wanting to be caught in the middle of anything that might be dangerous.
The teen walked out onto the stage and smiled. "I hope you enjoy this performance, as it has taken me quite some time to put together."
Poof
In a cloud of smoke, he disappeared.
"What is this? Some kind of lame magic show? I don't want to be reminded of the Battle City Arc ever again!" Yami said already not liking the act despite it not having even started.
Poof
A large plume of smoke covered the stage and five silhouettes emerged into five very familiar forms, but…they were not exactly normal.
The first, and most easily recognized was Aerrow, but rather than the flight suit he normally wore, he was wearing what looked like a police uniform, followed by him was Aladd dressed in cutoff jeans with a red and black plaid shirt and bright yellow hard hat. After him was Stork who was the perfect match for Ravess wearing blue jeans, chaps, a red shirt and black cowboy hat? The next to emerge was Radarr. The poor Skymonkey had on a full Indian Chief War headdress. The last to emerge caused everyone's eyes to bug out.
It was Finn.
Clad in a leather biker outfit, complete with a chain for a belt and a spiked bikers helmet.
Suzi, Marina and Lark who were busy snapping as many shots as they could with Kodak crystals, Piper, Tigger and Scarlett were drooling, and everyone else was in shock.
It was at this time that a fast pace techno song started up, quickly followed by the group singing. (Special AN: Aerrow Solo Everone together)

Oh my goodness.

They want you, they want you as a Sky Knight
The group then vanished into the same plume of smoke they came from leaving everyone laughing in stitches, stunned, or in Stork's case, crying in the corner.
In the middle of all this, Kai and Chris were having a hard time just trying to stand on the stage. They both leaned on each other for support while laughing up a storm.
"Aerrow! We've got a problem!" Lark hissed snapping the redhead out of his momentary daze.
"Ok, that does it for the Flying Squirrels, Judges, what did you think?"
"My eyes, they burn!" Rachel had pulled her cloak down to her chin trying to cover her face. It was hard to tell if she was crying, laughing, or both. "The monkey!" She managed to get out between gasps before pulling her hood back revealing that she, like Chris and Kai, weas laughing like a hyena. When she finally calmed down, she looked up at the golden eyed youth. "I give it a seven." She then leaned back into her chair with a small smirk on her face.
"While my expertise is music, I understand that you some how had to make the illusions we saw performing. However, I don't feel that this was an appropriate use of those talents, and that this was more or less an attempt to knock the other team's legs out from under them so to say, which while in my book is good business, it is also happens to be bad sportsmanship. I give it a four out of respect for the effort you put into it." Simon said.
For the first time since meeting, Chris and Kai shared the same thought. "Dude get a sense of humor."
"That…that was the most pathetic thing I have ever seen in my life, and I've been watching Joey duel for almost eleven years now. What you did was distasteful, disrespectful, and above all cruel! It was almost as painful as 4Kidz! I give this no points!"
"Well, you heard the judges; you earned eleven out of a possible thirty points, though if I were judging this thing, it probably would have gotten a perfect score. For what it's worth, personally, I though it was awesome. Judges, you have one last act to watch, then the campers will have the rest of the day to vote off who they want gone. Ok, for the final performance, and the Cuddly Koloa's only chance at pulling this off, we have Scarlett, Aladd, and Stork!
"Uh, one second please!" Lark called from behind the stage.
They were in trouble, big time.
Due to the little performance earlier, they were now two members down. Stork was rocking back and forth mumbling doom, and Scarlett…..
Scarlett was still drooling at the now vacant spot that the Finn illusion had been occupying.
"Ideas people?!" Lark shouted as loud as she could while still whispering.
"I can do drums." Snipe said raising his hand.
"Ok, we need a new lead guitarist, can anyone else play?" Lark asked looking at the other members of her team now slightly panicking.
Aerrow raised his hand while lowering his head. "I used to take lessons."
"Oh no, I am not going out there with a Storm Hawk as lead." Aladd said crossing his arms.
(CS)
"I don't care if we lose, no way am I following a Storm Hawks lead, much less HIM!" Aladd spoke firmly and with finality.
(CS) End
All anybody saw was a purple and grey blur. The next thing everyone saw was Lark holding Aladd by the neck with only one hand, and his feet dangling at least six inches off the ground.
"You are going to go out there and follow Aerrow's lead, and if you don't..." At this point she paused and looked up into his eyes.
Aladd blanched. Larks pupils shifted to narrow slits, and her body was enveloped with black and purple flames.
"If you don't, there won't be enough left of you to cremate, much less bury. Do I make myself clear?" At this point the flames were reaching her arms and had almost reached her hands.
"Crystal." Aladd croaked.
"Good." With that, she dropped him back on his feet and smiled like it had never even happened.
Aerrow took Finn's guitar from the still frozen Scarlett and called back to the others. "Come on! We've got a challenge to win!"
The curtain raised revealing Aerrow standing proudly with Finn's guitar, Aladd with a Bass guitar that Tigger had managed to whip up, and a set of drums that Stork had put together being manned by Snipe.
(Special AN Key Aerrow Aladd Both)
The three looked at each other slightly nervous, but nodded.
"Five, six, seven eight!" As soon as Aerrow shouted eight, they started.
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine
You guys are on my mind
You asked me what I wanted to be
and I think the answer's plain to see
I wanna be famous
Suzi, Kai and Dark Ace, who had been celebrating their apparent victory gapped, while Piper and Tigger were both front row with sparkles in their eyes.
I wanna live close to the sun
So pack your bags 'cause I've already won
everything to prove nothing in my way
I'll get there one day
'Cause I wanna be famous
Na na-na-na-na-na na na-na-na-na-na na na-na-na-na-na naaaaaaaaaaa
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be famous
I wanna be I wanna be
I wanna be famous
(Whistling continues of the chorus melody, then slows down and ends with an electric guitar chord)
When the song was over the all of the Koloa's were clapping and cheering, even Lark gave a loud whistle call that made Suzi jump. The Flying Squirrels however knew that they were in trouble, and had probably just lost the round.
"Ok, so not a bad performance by our furry little tree huggers. Judges, what did you think?"
"Not bad. Unlike the others, you actually provided you own music as well as the lyrics. And despite only having little time to practice, you were able to carry a decent tune. I give it an eight." Then her eyes narrowed. Were it not for the one on the base winking at me it would have been a nine."
Of course at this point Aladd was hit in the head by a flying wrench. Upon striking him it returned to the bleachers where it was caught by Tigger, who blew on it before returning it to her hip holster.
"That's just scary." Marina said eyeing the small girl as one might a time bomb.
"You did a good job, and as Miss Roth pointed out, you played the music yourselves, as well as sing the lyrics. However, I feel that I must point out that in the future; you should prepare a bit more before going on stage, so that you don't miss quite so many notes Aerrow. Over all, I give it a seven and a half."
Aerrow and Snipe grinned. (Aladd was still unconscious) because they knew the real reason Aerrow had missed those notes, Finn's overzealous playing of the guitar left it missing a string, but despite this handicap, they were able to do pretty well.
"As the others said, not bad, unless of course you have played together in the past, in which case it was horrible." When Yugi said this Aerrow and Snipe were quick to shake their heads no. "Well then, it was a fairly decent job. I give it four and a half Dark Magicians." Yugi said leaning back in his chair.
"Well, that gives you a combined score of nineteen, just enough to top Piper's score. Koloa's, you get to return to your cabin, Squirrels; I'll be seeing you tonight at the fire pit." Chris said walking off the stage.
"So, how do we get out of here?" Rachel asked nobody in particular.
End chapter 11
Start OMAKE #3!
The five teens-and one preteen-were sitting around the large television in J.P.'s living room, going through various degrees of shock and wonder at what they had just seen.
Takuya blinked a few times. "Uh...anyone know why that guy used a submarine horn?" Personally, the thought of being slammed awake at six in the morning by such a noise terrified him.
"Because it's his job to make all of them miserable, that's why. I actually feel sorry for them, even if some of them are evil people," Koji answered simply, coolly pointing out the obvious like he always did. Luckily, the tense friction between the two had passed, and they hadn't been in a fight for a long time.
Meanwhile, J.P. was grimacing. "Hey, Tommy? Remember me to never give Zoe coffee..."he whispered to the smaller boy.
Zoe swiftly smacked him upside the head, glaring at him. "J.P.! Not every girl gets like that if you give her coffee. I don't even drink the stuff, anyway..."she growled angrily.
J.P. rubbed the back of his now sore head, wincing as both Tommy and Kouichi laughed. "I'm sure he didn't mean it, Zoe. He was probably just joking," Tommy said, trying to help his friend.
"Yeah. You know how he is," Kouichi added softly. Zoe sighed but nodded, knowing they had a point.
"So anyway, you guys have any talents? Ya know, besides J.P. and his magic?" Takuya asked out of curiosity. There was a few moments of pause as the other thought.
"Well, I can play the guitar..." Koji finally admitted, breaking the silence.
"And I'm a pretty good cook," Zoe quipped, smiling proudly.
"Uh, I'm good at playing video games," Tommy added.
"I can juggle! Until everything falls on my head...but anyway, what about you, Kouichi?" Takuya asked, all eyes turning onto the boy.
Kouichi glanced away. "Well...I can...sing a little. But it's not very good..."
"Kouichi, you can sing? You never told me that!" Koji said happily, smiling.
J.P. grinned. "Hey! I bet you guys could be famous if you started a two-person band! Koji could play his guitar and Kouichi could sing!!"
Everyone looked at J.P., then they all burst out laughing at the thought of it. Once they'd all calmed down, J.P. decided to bring up another subject about the episode. "And hey, what kind of nicknames do you think that Chris guy would give us to try and make us angry?"
Koji hardly had to think about it before answering, "Takuya would be Takki, J.P. would be P.J., Zoe would be Zezo, Tommy would be Tomo, and Kouichi would be Ichi or Koochi." There was a serious tone in his voice as he spoke, then he realized they were all staring at him and he blinked. "What?"
"You came up with those pretty fast..." Takuya answered, the others nodding in agreement. Koji sweat-dropped, knowing he might be in trouble.
Luckily, Tommy saved him by drawing away everyone's attention from the subject. "Hey! I bet that he'd call Koji something like Kiji or Kojo." At that, everyone was laughing once more, even Koji.
"Tommy, that's almost as funny as the Star Wars reference they had in the episode!" J.P. said once they'd all stopped laughing for the second time.
"There were a lot of other references, too. Naruto, Teen Titans, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and American Idol. I wonder if they'll get sued for that..." Zoe added.
"Probably since they made the Pharaoh look so silly," Tommy replied, remembering the legendary duelist's total meltdown.
"And what Rav-er, Rachael did was pretty harsh, even if that Aladd guy is a total skirt-chaser," Kouichi added, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"But hey, the talent part was pretty funny. Everyone up for coming over J.P.'s house to watch the new episode every Thursday?" Takuya asked, grinning. Everyone except for J.P., of course, agreed. Said boy was left gaping.
"Wait, what?! My house? But-but-...oh, fine. My house it is,"he said, finally agreeing. Then, the show came back on, and everyone's attention returned to the flat screen of the television to see who would get voted off.
AN: Ok, I hope that wasn't too bad, I don't actually listen too much in the way of music, so this took awhile. I tried to come up with some other stuff, but noting really worked with this group. I hope that you enjoyed the songs; personally, I don't think this chapter was all that good, but that could just be because my team lost. The thing about having to pay twenty five cent to get out of a bathroom is actually based on a real life experience, don't ask. Till next time, Ja Ne!
