Chapter 11 (Day 08, Part 2)- Shufflers Ahoy!
(The Undead – Duncan & Eva)
The two muscular teens had left the strip joint and were wandering the streets of Chrisville. Eva wielded her baseball bat and Duncan held up a pair of daggers he had found in an alleyway.
"There's a zombie up ahead!" Duncan warned as Eva walked closer.
She turned to see the zombie trudging closer to her and she swung at it with her baseball bat, taking th head clean off. However, the body continued to shuffle its way towards Eva. "Oh come on! Just die already!" She complained.
Eva decided to just kick at the zombie's body, effectively knocking it over. She then proceeded to stomp on the stomach, tearing through the pale green skin and crushing several of the rotted organs and bones.
"Aw, sick!" Duncan cringed, although he was smiling. "So cool." He grinned.
Suddenly, there was fiery explosion from the rooftop of a building further into the city. The eruption was so powerful, it knocked Eva and Duncan back and they both shielded their eyes from the blinding light. "What the /censored/! Who set off our flare?!" Eva roared, looking up at the hospital.
The smoke from the flare continued to wisp around the sky as the flame died down. "Now every zombie in the city is gonna be headed there any minute! We're gonna be swamped!" Duncan cried.
As if on cue, three hordes of zombies came towards them; one from the street to their left; the second on the street to their right; and the third on the street behind them. Duncan and Eva swirled around to face the hordes.
"Well, we're screwed." Duncan sighed. "This sucks, I was really enjoying this VR too." he scowled.
"I say we run for it, we've got one way we can go. If a zombie gets close to you, try to fend it off with your daggers. I'll try to swat them away with my bat." Eva told him. "Our only hope is to get to the top of the hospital. I've seen zombie movies where they've had to do this same thing, there are usually weapons up there."
"Awesome! I'll snag an assault rifle or something." Duncan decided. "Now, let's get the heck out of here before we become zombie chow!"
The two teens began to run ahead, leaving behind most of the zombies. Several managed to get up ahead, but Eva swung away at them with her baseball bat, and Duncan tore a few of them with his set of knives.
"Hey, we're doin' pretty good!" Duncan observed. "I bet we can make to the hospital before the real swamp of zombies gets here."
"Why would you say that?" Eva asked him. "Now we're totally gonna die. You just jinxed us." She swung at a zombie, bashing its chest in and sending it into a building window.
"Oh please, jinxes aren't real. Only wimpy superstitious crybabies believe in curses." He rolled his eyes and gouged out the eyes of zombie and then proceeded to kick it over.
Suddenly, the sound of a hundred zombies groaning and moaning could be heard as more of the undead filled the streets. They lurched towards the two teens and they looked at each other and realized they were surrounded. "What did I tell you?" Eva snapped.
(The Undead – Dawn & Samey)
The flare erupted off the top of the hospital, blowing Samey and Dawn back. Samey hit a tree and rubbed her skull, which was feeling slightly numb and buzzy. The knife flew from her hands and embedded itself into the tree just above her head. Samey gulped and looked up at the knife.
"That was a close one!" She exclaimed, yanking the knife from the tree as she stood up. "Although my head hurts right now." She groaned.
"More importantly, who set off that flare?" Dawn wondered. "We can't be that far behind, we just started not too long ago!" She sat down in the grass and began to meditate.
"Um...Dawn, I don't think this is the right time to meditate! With the noise and glare of that flare, zombies will be swarming us in seconds!" She cried.
Dawn remained silent as she was deep in thought and meditation. Samey sighed and looked around nervously, spotting a zombie heading their way. She yelped and cut off its head with her knife. The body kept moving and she kicked it back with a terrified whimper. The body fell back into a small pond, staining the water with a sickly red color. Samey turned around to see Dawn still meditating.
"Okay, Dawn, I know we're friends, but we kind of need to get moving if we want to win this VR." Samey said. "More zombies are gonna be coming any minute!"
Surprisingly, Dawn stood up and opened her eyes. "I sense a darkness surrounding the hospital. We've been sabotaged!" She announced.
Samey gasped. "But by who? Who would sabotage us? That's just mean!" She frowned. "I hope Chris calls them out for cheating!"
"Chances are he won't." Dawn shook her head. "And I wish I knew who it was, but my aura reading skills only go so far. I can't determine who it is. Not to mention reading auras is hard to do in a virtual reality game. It makes things different."
"Different how?" Samey asked.
"While it's realistic, it isn't real life. Because of this, the soul-waves are blocked, only the mind-waves come through." Dawn explained.
"What about your clairvoyance?" Samey asked. "You were able to read the future a couple challenges ago, right?"
"That is true, but I have stated before, my clairvoyance is very unstable. It only works a couple days into the future, and it can be dangerous. I prefer to tuck it away." Dawn told her.
"That's too bad. It could be a fun skill." She snapped her fingers.
Suddenly, there was a faint shuffling sound and Samey and Dawn turned to see about ten zombies trudging towards them. "Run! My knife isn't gonna do anything against ten zombies!" Samey cried. Dawn didn't disagree and the two ran off further into the park.
Suddenly, Dawn tripped over something and crashed to the ground. Samey stopped in her tracks and looked back at Dawn. "Go on without me! I fear my ankle has been twisted, I won't be able to go on any further!" She requested.
"No! I don't want to leave you!" Samey refused.
"Come on! I'll be fine, it's a Virtual Reality, I'm not actually going to die! You can win this for our team, even if the flare was already lit!" Dawn told her. She looked down and spotted what she had tripped over: An assault rifle. "Look what I found!"
She held up the gun and Samey gasped. "Take it!" Dawn handed it to Samey and the twin looked at her.
"But I can't leave you! You're my friend!" She cried, tears welling in her eyes. The zombies behind Dawn trudged closer and closer.
"Go!" Was Dawn's last word before the zombies crowded around her. Samey could no longer see the petite girl's body as the zombie went away t it. The only thing left was Dawn's high-pitched screams as she was released from the VR.
Samey glared at the oncoming zombies. "You killed my friend." She said. "Prepare to die!" She let out a scream and began firing wildly at the zombies, sending bloody bullet-holes through their chests, torso, heads, and thighs.
All of the zombies dropped to the ground in a matter of minutes and Samey panted. "Don't kill my friends." She spat. The nice twin turned push-over walked up to one of the fallen zombies and stomped on the head with her heel, crushing the rotting skull, along with the mushy brains inside it.
Samey spun on her heel and continued walking through the park angrily, trying to avoid looking at Dawn's mutilated corpse.
(The Corpse – Noah & Katie)
"Who knew you could find machine guns so abundantly in a restaurant kitchen." Noah cracked, holding up a machine gun in each hand.
"Well, it is the zombie apocalypse." Katie reasoned. "I suppose there was a lot of violence when it all started. People probably stole guns and shot the zombies with 'em. When they were turned into zombies, the left their guns."
"That make sense." Noah shrugged. "Well, we should head out, the docks hopefully aren't too far away, or this is gonna be a heck of a fight." He said.
"Why's that? I don't see very many zombies outside." Katie said, puzzled.
"Because, someone just lit the flare for the other team." Noah said, pointing out of one of the restaurant windows. The explosion on top of the hospital was bright in the sky. "My guess would be Scarlett."
"Why Scarlett? Isn't she rehabilitated?" Katie asked.
Noah sweated nervously. "Uh, yeah, I forgot. Never-mind, it's probably Izzy. Scarlett wouldn't do anything like that." Noah thought for a moment. "Now that I think about it, it's definitely Izzy." He nodded.
"That makes sense." Katie agreed. "Well, with that flare off, we're gonna be swamped by zombies too, right?"
"Yup. So, let's get the heck out of here unless we want to become walking zombie chow!" Noah said, scrambling out the door. "I've got two machine guns, and you've got one, along with your crowbar. I think we'll be fine."
The two teens left the restaurant and entered the parking lot. "Any chance these cars might work?" Noah wondered. Katie shook her head. "Didn't think so. They look old, not to mention Chris probably disabled driving to make things harder for us." He rolled his eyes. A zombie shuffled towards him from behind one of the cars, and was soon joined by at leave six or seven more.
"It's an ambush!" Katie cried. Before even she could react, Noah was already firing off his two machine guns. Bloody bullet holes flew into the zombies, taking down two of them. "Hey, this isn't so bad!" Katie exclaimed, joining in on the fight.
Not three seconds after she said this, at least ten more zombies joined, all of them coming from behind more cars. "Dangit! There are probably at least fifty in this parking lot alone!" Noah cursed. "Let's get out of here, but don't stop firing!"
Katie did what she was told and backed out of the parking lot with Noah, still firing at the zombies. She took down at least five and smiled. "Okay, let's go! We can get out of here before more zombies show up!" She said.
Katie turned and was face to face with a zombie. She screamed as the zombie reached for her, scratching her arm with its nails. A small drop of blood formed on her arm and soon got bigger. Noah blasted the zombie and it dropped dead. "What happens if they scratch you?" Katie asked.
"Well, knowing Chris, he probably installed B-movie traits into the software, so I'm take a guess and say you'll be a zombie soon." Noah said to Katie's horror. "But since it's a scratch, you shouldn't turn for a while."
Katie breathed a sigh of relief. "But what do I do now? I'll eventually turn into a zombie, right?" She asked.
"If I'm right you will. Since we don't know, stay with me and if you turn into a zombie I'll shoot you." He shrugged. "Let's hope it doesn't come to that."
"You're telling me!" Katie exclaimed, her eyes wide.
(The Undead – Bridgette & Geoff)
"Aw crap! That flare is gonna send all the zombies in the city towards the hospital! We're all the way down by the docks, there's no way we're gonna get there without being swamped!" Geoff cried, looking up at the flaming sky.
"Oh! Who could have set off our flare so early? We can't be that far behind!" Bridgette wondered.
"Maybe it was sabotage!" Geoff suggested.
"What is with all this sabotage and cheating! First Chris cheats with Cody on the Superhero VR, then Ezekiel's eliminated unanimously, and now our flare has been set off before the challenge is even completely under way!" Bridgette exclaimed.
"Let's walk and talk, or we're seriously gonna be in trouble." Geoff said, shooting a zombie to his right. It went down after three bullets to the head.
The two lovebirds left the warehouses and found themselves at a park on the riverside. "The hospital is a ways away from here. I'd say about twelve blocks down." Bridgette frowned. "We'll never be able to make it there in time.
"We gotta try!" Geoff said. "Maybe we should search for loot in some of these buildings." He suggested. "We might find better weapons. Also Bridge, I know you don't like shooting things, but if we wanna make it to the hospital, you're going to have to use a gun if we can find another one."
Bridgette sighed. "Only because it's for the good of the team. Besides, I wouldn't wanna lose just because I refused to use a gun." She frowned. "I'll do it. But only if we find another one!"
Bridgette and Geoff quickly ran into an abandoned building, which turned out to be a hotel. The lobby had a fountain, plastic trees, and a front desk with a small golden bell. "Sweet! I love pressing these things!" Geoff chuckled.
He surfer ran up to the front desk and slapped his palm on the gold bell. It sent out a small ding and he giggled. "Heh-heh, just had to do that!" He grinned.
Suddenly, a zombie bellhop popped out from behind the counter and bit Geoff on the shoulder. The party boy looked down at the zombie that was munching on his collarbone as Bridgette gasped in horror. "Oh hey dude, what's up?" He asked.
The zombie didn't respond. Geoff shrugged and looked up to see Bridgette's horrified expression. He raised an eyebrow and then looked back down at the zombie eating his shoulder. "AAAAAAHHHHH!" He shrieked after finally realizing.
He flailed his arms, incidentally decapitating the zombie, sending its head flying into a window. Geoff could feel his skin crawl as it began to slowly fade into a pale, sickly yellow color. "Oh no! You're turning!" Bridgette cried.
"What? I'm fine! Just a little zombie bite, no biggie." Geoff shrugged it off. Suddenly, he let out a low groan and quickly covered his mouth with his hands. His face was now completely pale, and his teeth had already turned a rotten yellow.
Bridgette grabbed her sledgehammer and backed away, wielding it carefully. "Don't worry babe, nothing's wrong! Probably just some problems with the machine or something." He guessed.
His usual blond hair had grown frazzled and oily, matting to the side of his face. His shoulder began to swell, the shirt tearing where the zombie had bit him. The bite was red with purple and green lumps. "Come on Bridgette, let's get out of here!" Geoff said.
The party boy came closer to her girlfriend. The final touch of his zombification were the eyes. They had began glazed over, as if he was staring into death itself. He moaned and lurched forward, one of his arms extended, reaching for Bridgette.
The surfer girl screamed and backed further away, eventually running into a wall. She was petrified with fear, not sure what to do as Geoff came closer. Geoff was now a mere three feet away and closing, but Bridgette still had to make a decision.
Two feet. One foot. Geoff was close enough that he began to reach for Bridgette, his clawed hands resting on her shoulder as he came in for the kill.
Bridgette shrieked and clobbered Geoff with her sledgehammer, knocking the party animal's body aside. It hit an elevator button and seconds later, the elevator dinged open to reveal three more zombies in the elevator. Bridgette screamed again and swung her sledgehammer once more, taking out two of the zombies, but Geoff got back up. One of his arms had become detached and his rib cage was smashed in on one side.
Tears streamed from Bridgette's eyes as she swung her sledgehammer a final time, taking out zombie Geoff, along with the last remaining zombie elevator rider. She breathed heavily as she surveyed the damage she had done to the four zombies.
Quickly, she grabbed Geoff's gun from the counter and ran from the hotel, trying to avoid looking at her boyfriend's undead corpse.
(Outhouse Confessional- Must've been tough!)
Bridgette- "By far one of the hardest challenges I've ever had to do on this show!" She sobbed. "I had to kill zombie Geoff, and then survive the rest of the game with a gun! And I hate using guns!" She covered her face with her hands. "I don't know if I wanna be here anymore." She choked out.
Geoff- "Wow, takin' a swing at me when I was a zombie must've been tough for Bridge! I'm proud of her though, she took out four zombies and didn't have to use the gun! That takes guts man." He smiled.
(The Undead – Sky & Dave)
"Somebody help!" Sky cried as the zombie customers, cashiers, and workers closed in on them. She and Dave were both unconsciously hugging each other in terror as the zombies came at them from all angles.
Dave and Sky looked at each other and blushed once they realized they were hugging each other. "Stop hugging me!" Dave snapped suddenly, shoving Sky away into one of the zombies.
Sky screamed and punched the zombie under the chin, snapping the fragile and rotting neck bone, causing the head to fly off behind it. She kicked the body and it slammed into a counter-top. "I knew the workers here were zombies, but this is ridiculous!" Sky remarked as she kicked another zombie, this one a customer.
Dave just cowered in fear by the door to the freezer. Any time a zombie got close he would scream bloody-murder and the zombie would jump back for a second. This only worked for a few seconds until more zombies closed In on him.
One of the zombies grabbed Dave's arm, and another grabbed Sky's waist and pulled her closer, getting ready to bite her. Dave cried out in terror again, but the zombie wasn't letting go. Both of them screamed as the zombies lunged in for the kill, but the bite never came. Both looked down to see that their zombie had fallen to the ground, a single bullet hole going through their head.
Sky looked up to see B entering the fast-food restaurant with a rifle in one hand, and his makeshift double-blade sword in the other. B cleaved through at least five zombies with his sword, and shot three more with his rifle. More and more zombies fell to the ground, dead.
Sky took this opportunity and kicked a distracted zombie, sending it flying into the deep-fryer. Sky walked over and reached in, grabbing the oily hair and pulling out a fried zombie head. She winced and tossed the head and wiped the germs on her pants.
The head landed in Dave's cradled lap and he took one look at it and screamed bloody-murder once more. "Germs! Grease! Zombies! AAAAAHHHHH!" He freaked, jumping up and running around in panic. The fried head flew from his lap and exploded on impact upon hitting a cash register.
B fired more shots, taking out five more zombies. He only used his double-blade sword when a zombie got close. Despite their non-existent brains, the zombies were actually smart for once and decided to avoid getting close to B. Instead, they went for Dave and Sky, who did not have a weapon.
Sky ran for one of the trash cans and grabbed a tray from on top of one. She slammed it down on one of the zombie's heads, forcing the skull into the body, shattering the neck. The gymnast grabbed another tray and wielded one in each hand. She swung them and sliced them through the air, taking out two zombies in the process.
Soon, the horde was finished, and dead zombie corpses lay on the ground all over the restaurant; not one zombie left. "Whoa! That was amazing, B!" Sky exclaimed. "You sir are a very talented zombie killer." She grinned.
B breathed on his knuckles and then polished them off on his jacket knowingly. "What happened to your partner? Who were you with?" Sky asked.
B though for a moment and did a perfect imitation of Max cackling evilly, only no laughter sounded. "Max?" Sky wondered. B nodded and then took a finger and sliced it across his neck, indicating that his partner had been killed.
Dave walked over, shivering, covered in zombie guts and grease. "So...germy." He stuttered.
"Get over it." Sky scoffed. "It's a video game, not real life, you're not covered in germs!"
"But it feels like it!" Dave whined. "I mean...I can handle it." He said, puffing his chest.
Sky rolled her eyes. "I'm sure you can." She smirked. "Now, what do we do? We only have a gun and a sword thing, and I'm pretty sure that's not gonna hold up against a giant horde of zombies should we come across them." She said.
B nodded. He scratched his chin in thought, and then his face lit up and he ran into the kitchen, being careful to step over and avoid the dead zombie carcasses.
B was shown digging through the kitchen, throwing pots, pans, burgers, and other kitchen supplies behind him. Sounds of construction and other noises could be heard and Sky and Dave both raised their eyebrows.
Soon, B left the kitchen and entered the dining area with two more make-shift weapons. They were both similar to B's double-edge sword, except it was two spatulas tied together, with knives nailed to the flat ends.
B handed both Sky and Dave one of these and then held his gun and original double-edge sword. "Let's go get those virtual reality, non-germy, not...real life zombies!" Dave said, still slightly shivering from his Germaphobia.
(The Corpse – Brick & Tyler)
"Oh man, that zombie clown was seriously scary!" Tyler breathed. "Good thing you had that ax, huh?" He chuckled sheepishly upon realizing he was still hiding behind Brick.
"Yeah, well there's bound to be more, so let's keep moving." Brick said. "Say, this amusement park looks a lot like the one from the superhero VR. Is the machine reusing the same city, but with a different style since it's a zombie VR?" he wondered as the gloomy clouds began to dump drops of rain onto the city.
"I don't know but... OH MY GOSH A HORDE OF ZOMBIES!" Tyler screamed, pointing in the direction of the Ferris Wheel. Zombies were literally climbing off of the gondolas, while others jumped from them, most of the zombies doing this landed in gooey piles, but others landed on other zombies and survived.
Hundreds of the undead tourists made their way towards Brick and Tyler to the point where the duo was surrounded. "What are we gonna do? I don't have a weapon and I don't think an ax is gonna take out all of these zombies!" Tyler exclaimed.
"It's time to take one for the team!" Brick said. He leaped at the horde of zombies, screaming a war cry as he cleaved thorough them, chopping off heads, torsos, chests, etc. "Tyler, the only way to escape is to climb those roller coaster supports and dive into the ocean!" Brick shouted.
"But I can't leave you here to be eaten by zombies!" Tyler cried.
"Do it!" Brick barked back as he swung his ax into a zombie's skull. Tyler narrowed his eyes at the zombies as if he was ready to fight them one-on-one, but he didn't. Tyler sighed and obeyed Brick's orders and began climbing the roller coaster supports.
Now, Tyler was not the most graceful person in the world, and thus he continued to slip from his climb. The roller coaster was made of metal support beams, of which became slippery in the rain. "Come on!" Tyler complained as he slipped down again. "Stupid rain!"
Some zombies had noticed his struggle and were slowly limping towards him. Tyler jumped up and grabbed hold of the support again, kicking some zombies away with his foot as they came closer. He screamed as more zombies caught his attention.
Brick saw this and he got an angry expression on his face. "Get ready to die twice you undead freaks!" He shouted. The cadet left the zombies he was fighting and ran over towards the medium-sized horde that ha gathered around Tyler. The scared jock was now clinging to the support. He wasn't slipping anymore, but he knew if he tried to go higher he would.
"It's no use! Leave me behind!" Tyler wailed as he hugged the pole for dear life. "Tell my dad that he was awesome, and tell my mom that she was pretty cool too!"
"Not on my watch, soldier!" Brick shook his head. The cadet hacked at one last zombie, and then did a hatchet through, hurling the ax through the air until it embedded itself in the pole Tyler was clinging to. "Climb!" Was all Brick could shout before the zombie horde began grabbing at him.
"But I can't just leave you!" Tyler shook his head in defiance. "Never leave a man behind, remember?"
"It's too late for me! Save yourself and get to the docks! We're real close anyway!" Brick said. "Now CLIMB!" And with that, Brick was swallowed by the horde of zombies, all that was visible of him was his hand reaching out, but soon that too was taken by the zombies, leaving nothing behind.
A single tear shed from Tyler's eye as he told himself that it was only a video game. He glared at the zombies and reached up, but started to slip. "Crap!" He cried. But before he slipped down into the grabbing hands of the zombies, his hand grasped on something.
He looked up at saw brick's ax in the pole. He tapped into all of his virtual upper-body strength and pulled himself up onto the ax. His feet stood on the handle, and his arms hugged the pole again for good measure. Suddenly, Tyler heard a groan and looked up to see a car of zombies racing down the roller coaster coming towards where he clung. "Oh come on!"
As the roller coaster car came closer, Tyler panicked and looked for a way out. The only way was to jump from the support and hope to land in the ocean and not the sand. "Three...two...one!" He counted to himself, and jumped at the last second.
As he leaped from the platform that the ax had created, about ten zombies jumped from the roller coaster car onto where Tyler had been. As the jock fell, he saw the zombies falling after him. About half of the undead tourists had landed in the horde of other zombies, and were probably being accidentally cannibalized.
The other half of the zombies were falling after Tyler and the jock screamed. Before he knew it, he had landed in the water, and the blue, cold ocean enveloped him. It was quiet...almost serene. Well, except for the fact that he couldn't breathe.
Tyler held his breath as he sat there, floating under the waves. He heard splashes all around him of the zombies that had fallen and died on impact. The splashes ceased, and soon, Tyler found his eyes closing, and then everything went black.
(The Undead – Rodney)
The rain was now falling in heavy sheets, drenching Rodney from head to toe. The self-proclaimed 'ladies man' was shivering in the cold, and while the VR had not installed pain censors, temperature felt all too real.
He wandered into a dark alley that was protected from the rain by the building's awnings above. He hugged himself to keep warm as he sat next to a dumpster, out of view from any zombie wandering the streets.
The alleyway was long and connected to a street on the other side, making him visible from that street. He nervously looked around, hoping a zombie wouldn't find him in the alley. Then, he heard footsteps. They were soft at first, and then they got louder and Rodney cowered, not wanting to look at whatever it was.
"Please! If you're going to kill me zombie, make it quick!" He pleaded, forgetting that he was in a VR for a second. He put his hands together and looked up into the sky and prayed. "Please, forgive me for what I've done! I only did it for me and Bridgette!" He pleaded.
"What about me?" Came Bridgette's voice. Rodney cried out in terror and looked over to see Bridgette standing about ten feet away on the other side of the alley. She was also soaked from the rain, her long blonde ponytail matted to the back of her neck.
She held a sledgehammer in one hand and Geoff's pistol in the other. "Oh...uh nothing." Rodney said quickly. "I thought you were a zombie coming to kill me." he breathed a sigh of relief. "Wait...you're on the other team! Please don't hurt me!" He cried.
Bridgette raised an eyebrow. "Rodney, I'm not that kind of person." She said. "Now what were you talking about. I heard my name. Why do you want forgiveness?" She asked.
"No reason...just hysterics." He chuckled nervously as he stood up. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just be leaving and we can get back to the game."
Bridgette narrowed her eyes. "I've lost Ezekiel and now Geoff." She said quietly, her hand with the gun trembling. "And I want answers." She looked at him angrily. "This challenge changed me, Rodney."
"Heh-heh, well, no need to get feisty! Sorry, I don't know anything about ol' Zeke or Geoff. Wish I could held but I can't." He shrugged. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out as he stared at Bridgette.
The surfer held out her hand, pointing the pistol at Rodney, it was aimed right in between his eyes on his forehead. "Tell me what happened to Zeke. Were you involved?" She asked in a very serious tone.
"Well, you see...he uh, well, I um...I don't-" He stuttered, shaking in his boots now.
"ANSWER ME!" Bridgette shouted, her voice echoing throughout the alleyway. She breathed heavily as her finger twitched around the trigger. Some tears welled in her eyes as she began to sweat, breathing faster and faster by the minute.
"The thing is...I can't really, uh, answer that. You see, I don't really-" Rodney continued to stutter.
"You have five seconds." Bridgette hissed. "Five...Four...Three..."
"Give me a chance!" He pleaded. "I really don't know anything about him! I don't know a Zeke, who are you talking about?" He began to lie terribly.
"YOU'RE LYING!" She screeched, and her finger pulled the trigger, and a bullet was launched right into Rodney's forehead. Seconds later, he crumpled to the ground, blood leaking from his temple.
Bridgette breathed very heavily now, still holding the trigger out as if she hadn't fired a single bullet yet. But she had. She had shot Rodney, and now he was dead. There was a pause for several minutes and the howls of zombies filled the air, the rain not letting up as it dripped into puddles all along the streets.
Finally there was a noise. Sobbing. The tears in Bridgette's eyes could not hold any longer, and now trickled down her face. Bridgette dropped the gun and it clattered along the cobble alleyway. She fell to her knees and put her hands to her face.
The surfer parted her hands and looked at the gun on the street. She reached for it with a trembling hand and picked it up. She put her finger on the trigger and brought the pistol up to her head. "I'm sorry." She sniffed and then she pulled the trigger.
(Outhouse Confessional- Okay, I'm scared. Are YOU scared?)
Bridgette- She still sobbing and sniffling, her head in her hands. "As soon as I killed Rodney, I knew I had done something wrong. Even if it was only a VR." She sniffled. "I'm just glad it was that, a VR. Oh, I need Geoff!" She pushed the outhouse door open and left.
Geoff- "Dude, now I really feel bad for Bridge! She just went and shot someone, and then she shot herself!" he exclaimed. "That's gonna give me nightmares! Looks like she needs some real cheering up. Party boy Geoff is on the case!" He exclaimed, standing up with a finger in the air.
Rodney- "How could she shoot me?! It was true love! Oh, how can I go back to Dakota, or Jasmine, or Amy, or Scarlett?" He wondered. "Well...Dakota, Jasmine, and Amy at least." He shivered.
Chris McLean- "For the record, I had no idea she would do that. Wow. Never thought Bridgette had it in her." he shrugged. "Well, I just want to let you all know that we here at Total Drama Inc. do not encourage self harm! We may force our contestants to do a lot of whacked out stuff, but we draw the line there!" He shook his head. "Now, enjoy watching people inflict harm to others. Now that's fun!" he chuckled.
(The Undead – Harold & Sam)
"Dude who set off our flare?" Sam asked. "I mean, I may have wicked crazy zombie-gaming skills, but even those won't be a match for the hordes of zombies heading for the hospital right now!" He exclaimed. The flare has been set off moments ago, and the sky was evidence of it. Smoke still glowed around the hospital, making it look like it was on fire.
"I don't know, but it was most likely sabotage." Harold said matter-of-factly. "No one on our team is dumb enough to set off the flare, and I think everyone wants to win. All evidence points to it being an act of sabotage."
Sam thought for a moment. "You could be right. But right now, I think we should focus on saving our butts!" Sam shouted, pointing to a horde of hundreds of zombies flooding into the stadium. "Thanks to that flare going off, now all those zombies are headed towards the hospital, but they seem to have gotten sidetracked!"
"Look!" Harold exclaimed, pointing to two figures on the baseball field. Zombies trudged after them, some even moving faster than expected. Several of the undead civilians had made their way into the stands, while others chased the figures on the field.
"It's Noah and Katie!" Sam exclaimed. "They're from the other team!"
"Don't kill them! Maybe if we act nice and save their butts, they'll help us against the zombies, because right now, our only weapon is a bat, and we're kind of getting surrounded." Harold told him.
"Yo! Noah and Katie, up here!" Sam shouted, waving his arms. The two nerds stood atop the stadium, just in front of the massive scoreboard. There were guardrails and the platform was elevated enough, but with the amount of zombies coming after Noah and Katie, they could get up there if the zombies climbed over each other.
Noah and Katie looked up from the field and spotted the two nerds waving their arms. "Should we trust them?" Katie asked nervously, looking behind her to see the zombies getting closer.
"Well, they do seem like they want to help us. Besides, it's either that, or a horde of zombies. It's a chance we'll have to take!" Noah said, climbing the barrier that kept the stands and the field separate. Katie did the same, and soon they were on the stands. Unfortunately, the zombies were so vast in numbers that they climbed over each other to get onto the stands.
"I think we'd better move it!" Katie cried, running up the stands. The two ran up the stairway in between rows of stands, climbing higher and higher towards Sam and Harold. The zombies below had just managed to get a few up and over the wall.
"They're coming up here!" Harold said. "And they have machine guns! Awesome! Noah has two, so maybe he'll lend us one, and you can use the baseball bat." He handed the bat to Sam and he grinned.
"Can you help us up?" Katie asked as she and Noah reached the top. The latter was winded, but still in relatively good shape.
"Agh! These stands remind me of the stairs at my school!" Noah complained.
Katie tossed her machine gun up onto the platform and Harold pulled her up. Sam helped Noah up and all four of them were standing on the platform. Noah handed one of his machine guns to Harold, and they all had a weapon.
"We may have attracted a couple zombies while we were running." Noah said.
"A couple?!" Sam exclaimed.
"It's a good thing you guys were here. Noah said the zombies would head for the flare, and not the stadium, but it looks like he was wrong." Katie said.
Noah rolled his eyes. "Oh please, Chris probably just programmed the zombies to follow us to spite me!" He said.
(Outhouse Confessional- Did not! Did too! Did not!)
Chris McLean- "Okay, I may be responsible for a lot of stuff on this show, but that was not me! Those zombies have a mind of their own. Maybe I should make them go after him now that he said that." He chuckled. "If only I knew what button to press."
"I'm out of ammo!" Katie cried, clicking her machine gun empty. She shook it in annoyance, but it did no good.
"That's never a good thing to hear." Noah muttered. "There's too many of these stupid zombies! Even if Katie's gun still worked, we wouldn't be able to take them all out! We're screwed!"
"Maybe not!" Katie exclaimed. She ran behind the scoreboard and sorted around. Noah, Harold and Sam all raised an eyebrow, wondering what the ruckus was about, and what she was doing.
Katie finally came out from behind the massive scoreboard holding a small, pink karaoke machine. "Um...what?" Noah asked, looking at the small box. Four microphones were attached to the machine.
"What is that doing up here anyway?" Sam asked.
"Chris did say weapons were scattered around the city! Maybe Katie's on to something!" Harold exclaimed. The nerd ran over and picked up one of the microphones.
"I've played enough zombie video games to know that their heads can be shattered by a four-part harmony! And guess what, we've got exactly four people right here!" She giggled.
"What?! You expect me to sing to the zombies?" Noah asked. "Um, Katie, I don't think the zombies want to hear a musical number, I think they're just interested in our brains."
"No silly! If we all sing together, we can send a sort of sonic shock-wave out at the zombies and make their heads explode!" She said excitedly. "Now pick up a microphone, I know the perfect song!"
By now, all of the zombies had gathered in the stands and were looking up at the four contestants on the scoreboard platform. Some zombies were already trying to climb up to get them, and they were making good time. Suddenly, the sound of disco music filled the stadium and all the zombies looked confused.
"Zombies and Gentlemen! I'm Katie, that's Noah, and they're Harold and Sam, and we're Love Patrol Alpha!" Katie announced, her voice echoing throughout the stadium over the microphone. [1]
"What? I never agreed to that name." Noah shook his head.
"I think it's pretty cool." Harold grinned.
"Look Noah, do you wanna die, or do you wanna win this challenge?" Katie asked him. Noah sighed in defeat and held up his microphone reluctantly. "HIT IT!" Katie shouted, motioning to the karaoke machine. Harold ran over and pressed the button and the music started up.
Sam squinted and read the words appearing on the karaoke machine's screen. "Uh, Katie...our virtual lives may not be worth this." He said.
Noah raised an eyebrow as he read the lyrics. "Friday night, we're gonna party 'til dawn...don't worry daddy I've got my favorite dress on?!" Noah sang with confusion. "Katie! This is stupid!"
"We're rolling to the party, the boys are looking our way! We just keep dancing, we don't care what they say!" Katie sang, ignoring Noah. The zombies continued to climb up to the platform. "And all the boys are getting up in my face!" One of the zombies got closer and slashed at Katie. She screamed and jumped back. "Guys! We have to sing together or it won't work!" She told Noah, Harold, and Sam.
"Boys are a bore! Let's show 'em the door!" Harold sang. "We're taking over the dance-floor!" They all sang in unison, albeit off-key. "Ooooooh-ooooooh! Girls do what we like, ooooooh-ooooooh, we're taking over to-night!" They continued to sing.
A sound-wave was sent out into the stands, blowing out the brains of several zombies. "Ooooooh-ooooh! Girls do what we like, ooooo-oooooh, we're taking over tonight! WE'RE QUEENS OF THE DISCO!" More and more zombies continued to explode with green guts.
"Oooooh-oooooh! Girls do what we like, oooooh-oooooh, we're taking over tonight!" All four of them sang in a different octave.
"Taking over tonight!" Noah sang a solo, seeming to get into the song. A guitar riff played as more zombies died. One of the still-living ones managed to get onto the platform and raised it's claws and growled.
"Duck!" Sam shouted. He grabbed his machine gun and fired off some bullets, hitting the zombie and knocking it off the platform. Dead zombie parts lay all over the stands.
"Thank you! We'll be here all night!" Katie shouted with glee.
"Deal with it zombie idiots!" Noah cackled.
"Correction, we should probably get going." Harold said. "That was fun and all, but now that the zombies are gone, we need to get to the hospital or docks!"
"Good idea!" Katie said. "Thanks for jamming out with me! Oh, and thanks for not killing us." She chuckled.
"Good luck with getting to the hospital!" Harold called out as he and Sam hopped down from the platform. The two stepped over the dead zombie corpses and body parts as they made their way to the exit.
"Thanks!" Katie waved.
(The Corpse – Shawn & Jasmine)
"What's the protocol for zombie Dakotazoids?" Shawn asked Jasmine as he panted. The two ran down the streets with their machine guns in hand. They made a sharp turn, but Dakotazoid was still right behind them, shaking the ground. She launched herself off of the side of a building with her claws and let out a roar.
"I don't know! You're the zombie expert! I just watched a couple movies!" Jasmine cried. The two screamed and continued to run as fast as they could, even dodging a car that Dakotazoid hurled at them. The automobile crashed right through a lamp post and into another building, taking out five zombies with it. A few seconds later, the remains of the car burst into flames.
"Up ahead! The gas station!" Shawn pointed in front of them. A good sized gas station sat a few yards ahead of them. Gas pumps stood under a large roof, and a few feet from that was the store to go along with it.
Jasmine and Shawn weaved around the gas pumps, while Dakota just smashed through them. She swung a clawed hand at them, but missed and his a pole holding up the roof. The entire structure collapsed, swinging towards Jasmine and Shawn.
"Jump!" Shawn shouted, and Jasmine did so. They leaped ahead, the gas station roof falling right behind them. A few seconds later Dakota burst from the wreckage like a savage dinosaur.
The couple screamed for the umpteenth time in a row and ran for the gas station shop. Jasmine yanked open the door and she and Shawn filled in. "What do we do?! We've trapped ourselves! Zombie Dakotazoid will be able to smash through those doors easy!"
Jasmine didn't even think. She just ran over behind one of the shelves and shoved it. The shelf skidded across the room and up against the door, barricading it. Dakota's angry roars could be heard from outside the door and Jasmine and Shawn quickly ran and hid amongst the shops shelves. The walls frequently shook with Dakota trying to get in, but to no avail.
"Okay, she can't get in, but now we're trapped!" Shawn said. "And there are still zombies in here!" He cried, pointing to one that shuffled towards them.
"I got it!" Jasmine called. She aimed her machine gun and pulled the trigger, but all that sounded was a click. She furiously pulled the trigger several more times, but only got clicks. "I'm out of ammo!"
Shawn tried his, and also got clicks. "Same here!" He panicked. "This isn't good! I'm too young to die from a zombie! Why me?!" He wailed.
"Shawn! Snap out of it, I've got an idea!" Jasmine hissed. "Now, follow me and don't say a word." She instructed. The Aussie survivalist got on her hands and knees and began crawling amongst the shelves. Moans and groans of several zombies filled the shop, and Shawn guessed there were about five.
Jasmine got to the end of the row of shelves and peeked out to see three zombies blocking their only exit. Jasmine let out a shrill whistle and all three zombies turned and started trudging towards them. "What are you doing?!" Shawn whispered. "Now the zombies are coming towards us!"
"I've got this!" She shushed him.
She stood still for a short while and once the zombies were a few feet away, she swung one of her long legs into all three zombies, knocking two over and sending the other one flying towards the freezers with the drinks. "Open the door!" She told Shawn. The zombie survivalist did so and the zombie flew right in. He slammed the door on it, causing its face to press up against the glass.
Next, she grabbed one of the fallen zombies and threw it at the coffee making area. The zombie's head landed in the coffee grinder, and seconds later, it became mush after Shawn pressed the button. The rest of the body fell, dead.
That left one last zombie. Jasmine got its attention and ran over to a hot-dog rotator. She put her hands on it, and the zombies reached out to grab her hands. Unfortunately for the zombie, Jasmine pulled her hands away at the last second, and the undead worker's fingers got caught in the rotator.
A few seconds later, the fingers ripped off and the zombie was free of its shackles. "Now is when we make our escape!" Jasmine declared, ducking from the zombies reach. She ran to the exit as two more zombies joined the other. Shawn followed her and they both left the shop, slamming the door on one of the zombie's arms.
"That was close!" Shawn breathed.
"Yeah, and now zombie Dakotazoids' probably gonna take down the whole station! We'd better get a move on! I think the docks are a few blocks down!" She said.
"Cool! We can get there, set off the flare and be safe." Shawn breathed.
(Outhouse Confessional- Sweet Moves!)
Shawn- "Okay, I've said this before, but Jasmine is amazing! Did you see her skills back there?" He exclaimed.
A montage of scenes plays out, starting off with Noah and Katie of the Corpse. The duo hopped down from the platform and were making their way out of the stadium. From there, they spotted the docks just a few blocks down and began heading there.
Heather and Sadie of the Undead were not as lucky. They had left the apartment complex, only to be swarmed by zombies. Neither even had a fighting chance as zombies flooded around them, killing them almost immediately.
Harold and Sam of the Undead were running for their lives, screaming. Sam wielded his baseball bat, letting out a battle cry as he decapitated several zombies. Harold fired the machine gun Noah had given him and killed off several zombies. Eventually, the two nerds were backed up against the hospital entrance, and given the opportunity, they ran in and bolted for the stairs.
Courtney and Amy of the Corpse were on their way to the docks when zombies began swarming at them from all directions. Several zombies went for Amy, grabbing at her shoulders, legs, waist, and even her chest. "Back off perverts!" She snapped, trying shove them away, but more climbed onto her and soon she was taken over. Courtney managed to keep them away and scrambled for the docks, leaving Amy behind.
Duncan and Eva of the Undead had also made their way to the hospital after managing to plow through the horde of zombies. Since the front entrance was swamped with the undead, they decided to head to the back entrance, which ended up being locked. Eva had a quick solution for that: hit it with a baseball bat. The glass on the door shattered allowing both teens to get through.
Scott and LeShawna of the Corpse were in the downtown part of the city. The docks were only about three blocks away, but the zombies were a problem. They were in the Nightclub district, and Scott's crossbow wasn't very helpful. Both contestants practically drowned in the swarm of zombies heading for the hospital.
B, Sky, and Dave of the Undead had left the McRonald's and were out on the streets of Chrisville. The hospital was in sight but was soon blocked by zombies. B and Sky plowed through the zombies, but Dave was too panicked to do anything and ended up getting bitten by one of the zombies, much to his terror. He soon joined the undead and seemed to hunt down Sky in particular. Unfortunately for zombie Dave, Sky and B managed to get into the hospital before they got bitten as well.
(Outhouse Confessional- The death toll rises!)
Sky- "Am I sad that Dave turned into a zombie? Not really. He wasn't much help to the team and all he did was whine about virtual germs." She shook her head. "Just get over him already, Sky!" She snapped at herself with a sigh.
LeShawna- "I could have left Scott to the zombies, but where I'm from, that ain't respected. I may not like the guy, but I'm not the kind to abandoned. Didn't really pay off though."
(The Undead – Gwen & Trent)
"Your guitar isn't proving to be very effective." Gwen said as she and Trent battled zombies. They had left the mall and were already swamped by zombies out on the streets.
Trent beat a zombie with his guitar, but it only really knocked it back, it didn't deal a whole lot of damage. Gwen shot it, along with other zombies getting in their way. "Ugh there's too many of them!" Trent said.
He made his way over to an apartment complex and tossed his guitar up onto the second level over-hang deck. He then proceeded to climb up and stood atop the deck, looking down on the sea of zombies.
"A little help!" Gwen shouted, reaching up. Trent couldn't reach her grasp, so he held his guitar out for her to grab on to. Gwen continued to shoot zombies as she grabbed hold of the guitar.
Suddenly, Trent felt a tapping on his shoulder and he turned around to see his worst fear. "ZOMBIE MIME!" He screamed. The zombie mime then proceeded to bite his shoulder, causing Trent to drop his guitar.
Gwen fell with a scream into the sea of zombies without a chance. The zombies gnawed at her as her body disappeared and the VR released her and Trent.
(Outhouse Confessional- Tough luck)
Gwen- "Way to go Trent." She rolled her eyes. "He's not doing very well at regaining any 'Gwen points'." She said. "But hey, at least he's trying." She shrugged.
Trent- He face-palms. "Ugh! I blew it! Stupid zombie mime! I bet Chris put that thing right there just so I would drop Gwen into the zombies! There go my 'Gwen points'." He sighed.
(The Corpse – Jo)
"It's about time you got here!" Jo snapped as Shawn and Jasmine arrived at the docks. Jo stood next to the massive flare, but luckily she hadn't lit it yet.
"How'd you get past the zombie horde?" Shawn asked. "It was massive! We barely escaped! Not to mention we had a not-so-friendly run in with zombie Dakotazoid!"
"Yeah, and where's your partner? Who'd you spawn with?" Jasmine asked.
"Cody and I spawned on the beach a couple hundred feet back that way." Jo said, jabbing a thumb behind her. "Cody walked too close to the water and was eaten by a zombie shark." Jo lied.
"Yikes! We'd better be careful then!" Jasmine exclaimed. "Wouldn't wanna die after coming this close!" She chuckled. "Well, in case you didn't know, someone set off the flare for the other team, so they're probably doing pretty badly."
"Yeah, I saw the sky." Jo said, nodding up at the hospital that was clearly visible from where she stood. Jasmine gazed around at the box cars and large boats.
Suddenly, Scarlett and Izzy arrived next, the latter still wielding her chainsaw. "So this is all who's made it so far?" Scarlett asked upon seeing Jo, Jasmine and Shawn.
Before the others could respond, Izzy raised her chainsaw in the air. "Ha-ha! We set off the other team's flare and now they can't win!" Izzy cackled, revving up her chainsaw.
"You did what?!" Jasmine cried. "Do you realize that that flare you set off probably killed half our team?!" As she chewed out Izzy, Scarlett face-palmed in annoyance. "You'd better hope that we win, or you can consider yourself going home!" Jasmine snapped.
"What about Scarlett? She's the one who did the whole button pressing thing." Izzy said. "Will she be on the chopping block too?" She seemed to say this eagerly.
Jasmine raised an eyebrow and turned to face Scarlett. "Yes, yes she will." Jasmine glared at her. "Rehabilitated my butt!" She hissed.
"Oh please, I didn't try to murder anyone. Just because I sabotaged the other team doesn't mean I'm like my old self again." Scarlett pointed out. "If any of our team members happen to get killed because of it, then it's something I may have overlooked." She shrugged.
"Well, if everyone else on our team is dead, I guess it's time we get the heck out of here before more zombies show up." Jo shrugged. She walked over to the flare and began pressing buttons and levers.
"No you imbecile!" Scarlett snapped. "The rest of our team needs to get here! I doubt they'll be able to get through a zombie swarm in fifteen minutes! They'll either be taken out by the horde, or the rescue boat will leave without them!"
"I'm on a team of morons!" Shawn cried. "Now we're all gonna die because of you three!" He pointed at Izzy, Scarlett, and Jo and glared at them.
"For your information, my brain capacity is larger than yours and all of the zombies out there when they were alive!" Scarlett snapped. "I am not a moron. Now Izzy and Jo, yes, those two are low on brain capacity."
"Hey! You're not the one with the chainsaw!" Izzy said, holding said weapon up threateningly.
"Oh please, the other team members are probably dead anyway. We might as well save ourselves while the goings good." She shrugged.
Scarlett, Shawn, and Jasmine all face-palmed at the same time, creating a fairly large smack. Suddenly, the flare exploded, sending a fiery blaze into the night sky. All five contestants were knocked off their feet and landed with a thud on the docks. They all shielded their eyes from the blaze.
"Now all the zombies are headed here, the rest of our team is dead for sure, and we're gonna lose." Jasmine sighed. "I'm gonna have a hard time deciding which one of you to vote for!" She glared at the three offenders.
(The Undead – Duncan & Eva)
The two muscular teens were the first to reach the top of the hospital. The flare was still smoking, but otherwise the roof was pretty empty. "Well, whoever set off the flare left, so it must have been sabotage from the other team!" Eva said, full of fury.
"Yeah, well the others better get here quick or we're screwed. It's been a while since the flare was lit, so the helicopter could be coming any minute!" Duncan exclaimed. "Not to mention the other team just lit their flare!" He pointed to the explosion coming from the docks.
"Well, we're just gonna have to hope that the zombies go towards the docks since their flare was just lit." Eva said.
Suddenly the two heard footsteps and turned, Eva wielding her bat and Duncan armed with his knives. "Who goes there?" Duncan asked.
"Whoa, lay off, it's just us!" Harold said, climbing up the ladders to the roof. "Man, who set off the flare? It wasn't you guys was it?"
"Yeah, you would not believe how hard it was to get here!" Sam said, several scratches frequenting his body. "Sky and B are behind us, they're fighting off some zombies in the halls."
"No, we didn't set off the flare. We think it was sabotage from the other team, 'cause no one's up here." Duncan said. "Whoever it is is gonna pay thought!" He snarled, slapping the smooth side of one of his knives in his palm.
A few moments later, B and Sky arrived on the roof as well. "Man those zombies are tough! Bad sports if you ask me." Sky shook her head. "By the way, we lost Dave on the way up here."
"I bet you're sad about that." Duncan grinned.
"Shut up!" Sky glared at him.
"Help!" Came a cry from the stairwell.
The contestants looked back and Sky ran over. "Samey!" She exclaimed. "You okay?" Sky held her hand out and Samey grabbed it. The nice twin was covered in scars and bruises.
"Not really. I got swarmed by a bunch of zombies on the way here. I'm just lucky none of them bit me!" She panted. "Did you guys find out who set off the flare?"
"No, it was someone from the other team." Harold said. "Eva and Duncan suspect sabotage since whoever it was isn't up here, which makes sense to me."
"Well I didn't see anyone else along the way. Dawn was killed by some zombies in the park." She sighed. "Oh, I sure hope this isn't everyone! The other team probably has way more!"
"I wouldn't be too sure about that. They set off their flare not to long ago. Either they've got all their players and they're gonna beat us badly, or someone was dumb enough to set it off before everyone got there." Eva said.
(Outhouse Confessional- This outhouse would survive!)
Eva- "Boy am I glad I'm not on that team. If I was, I'd probably be going ballistic. Anger management was never my strong suit, but at least I'm getting it moderately under control." She shrugged.
"By the way, there were a bunch of zombies coming after me on the way up, you guys should be careful." Samey warned them.
As if on cue, zombies began flooding through the door. Eva swung her baseball bat, taking out several zombies, Sam did the same. Harold fired at the zombies with his machine gun, Duncan slashed at them with his knives, and B and Sky used their makeshift swords while Samey recovered by the used flare.
Suddenly, there was a loud whirling sound and the teens looked up to see a helicopter flying on. The blades chopped back and forth, blowing everyone's hair back. "Just in time!" Samey breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up as the helicopter lowered. A long, floppy ladder extended from the chopper and swung down to the hospital roof.
Samey was first up since her assault rifle was out of ammo. Next went Harold, Sam, B, Duncan, Sky, and finally Eva. Harold continued to shoot zombies as he climbed, being careful not to shoot his teammates.
Samey made it into the chopper, followed by Harold and Sam. Soon, all of the remaining team members were inside the helicopter. "I sure hope we didn't leave anyone behind!" Samey worried. With that, the helicopter flew off into the distance. The remaining members of The Undead had escaped.
(The Corpse – At the Docks)
"Ugh, how long does it take for a stupid rescue boat to get here?" Jo complained. "And where are the others? They can't all be dead!"
"They probably are thanks to you setting off the flare." Shawn snapped.
"I bet they're all dead thanks to Scarlett and Izzy." Jasmine added, jabbing a thumb at both redheads. "What do you two have to say for yourself?"
"Tyler!" Izzy exclaimed.
"Well I've never heard someone pull that before." Jasmine said, raising an eyebrow. "Then again, you are Izzy. Pretty crazy!"
"No, Tyler!" Izzy said. She ran across the dock, passing Jasmine who turned around to see what she was talking about. Izzy reached over the side of the dock.
"I'd be careful if I were you. Zombie sharks, remember?" Jo said with her arms crossed, not bothering to help.
Shawn ran over to Izzy's aid, and together, the two pulled Tyler from the water. The red-clad jock spit out an ocean from his mouth when Izzy preformed CPR, pressing hard on his chest.
"I don't think he's breathing!" Jasmine cried in panic.
"Clearly he-"
Scarlett was cut off when Izzy grabbed Tyler's face. "LIVE DARN YOU!" She screamed and pressed her virtual lips against his. She began preforming another kind of CPR, sending air into Tyler's waterlogged lungs.
Moments later, Tyler began coughing up more water and his eyes fluttered open. He was panting heavily and he looked extremely tired and weakened. "I was fine with the first version of CPR thank you! I have a girlfriend!" Tyler sputtered.
"Yeah, but you gotta admit, you kinda loved it!" Izzy giggled maniacally.
"What were you doing in the ocean anyway?' Jo asked. "Did you decided to take a swim with Cody's corpse?" She joked.
"No, I was at the Boardwalk with Brick, but there was this swarm of zombies, so I climbed a roller coaster support beam and jumped into the ocean. I thought I was dead, but apparently I just passed out." Tyler said.
"Well, it's a good thing you're here now!" Shawn said. "The undead are less likely to get you in the water. The Zombie Sharks are concerning though."
"Yeah, and it's a good thing he came by water rather than land!" Jasmine said, jabbing a thumb behind her. The teens turned to see massive horde of hundreds of zombies heading for the docks. In front of them were Courtney and Noah.
"Is that it? You two the only ones?" Jon complained. "We're never gonna beat the other team with only seven people!" She threw her arms up in annoyance.
"Well excuse us for living! Maybe we should just hurl ourselves into the cloud of the undead behind us!" Noah remarked as he and Courtney ran for their virtual lives. "Oh, by the way, Katie turned into a zombie on the way here, so she's probably somewhere in there."
There was a sudden loud foghorn that caused everyone on the docks to jump. They turned to see the rescue boat making its way through the waves and too the docks. "Hurry!" Jo roared. "Or we're gonna die! Do you want survivors our not?!" She cupped her hands to shout at the boat.
"There's an extremely low chance that any of the rescuers on that boat heard you." Scarlett said.
Seconds seemed to turn into hours as the zombie horde came closer on one side, and the rescue boat on the other. The members of The Corpse on the dock continued to look back and forth, anxiously waiting to see if they would make it.
Finally the rescue boat arrived at the dock. "Move! Move! Move! We don't have much time! Those zombies'll be here any minute!" Jasmine shouted, ushering her teammates onto the boat.
Jo shoved her way into the boat first, followed by Scarlett, a terrified Shawn, Izzy, and finally Jasmine herself. Courtney and Noah were running as fast as they could, Courtney turning around to whack a few zombies with her dinosaur bone.
Unfortunately, the horde of zombies had grown voracious, and grabbed the bone from her hand. Noah was beating back the zombies with his gun since it was out of ammo. He too lost his weapon to the cloud of zombies.
"Just go already!" Jo shouted. "We'll have to do with this many and hope we win! If we let them get aboard, the zombies will follow right behind them!"
The NPC captain of the rescue boat pulled a chain and the foghorn sounded once more. With that, the boat sped off into the waves, leaving Noah and Courtney behind by a few seconds. Courtney reached her hand out as if to grab hold of the boat, but all she caught was air.
Within seconds, the zombie horde had come upon them and Noah and Courtney stood no chance. The zombies killed them almost instantly as the undead civilians climbed over each other to try and get a bite. As this was happening, the members of The Corpse had escaped.
(Outhouse Confessional- So close!)
Noah- "Okay, I know I wasn't exactly a team player in the last few seasons I was on, but that was just cold. Leaving two members of your team to be eaten by zombies when they were literally three seconds away from safety." He shook his head. "Not cool."
Courtney- "Whoever told the captain of that boat to leave me is so gonna pay! Amy, consider me a new member of your alliance." She scowled at the camera.
(Pahkitew Island Bonfire Pit)
"Alright campers! That was one crazy game! I hope some of you enjoyed it, and I hope others will be having nightmares for several weeks." Chris grinned.
Courtney, Noah, and the other members of The Corpse were released from their headsets. About half of them did not look happy. "Alright, time to tally up who made it through the apocalypse, and let me say, there weren't many of you!" Chris chuckled. "For The Undead we have: Samey, Eva, Duncan, Sky, B, Harold, and Sam." He listed. "That's 7 survivors!" The members of The Undead cheered and high-fived, mainly the ones who lived.
"And for The Corpse, we have: Jo, Jasmine, Shawn, Scarlett, Izzy, and Tyler!" Chris finished. "That's 6 survivors! The Undead wins by one person, sending The Corpse to elimination!"
Several glares were cast in the direction of certain contestants as the teens dispersed. "The Corpse, see me at the elimination ceremony in ten!" Chris said and left to do his own host business.
Amy tapped her foot in annoyance as she waited in the cabin. Katie and Sadie were next to her, yakking away about something that happened back home. Finally, the door to the TDPI girl's cabin opened with a creak and Courtney stepped in.
"Where have you been? I've been waiting for like, three minutes!" Amy complained.
Courtney rolled her eyes at this. "Let's just say I got caught up with Duncan and Scott." She grimaced. "Those two will never leave me alone!" She huffed.
"Yeah, whatever." Amy waved it off. "I'm glad you decided to join my alliance! Trust me, it'll be the best decision you've ever made in this game." She grinned.
"Well, don't be too mean. I don't want to hurt anyone like I've done in the past. This season, I'm trying to lay low and not do anything too rash, otherwise I might become a target." Courtney admitted. "I'm trying to steer away from becoming Heather from TDI."
"Don't worry, this alliance is all about kindness!" Amy lied. "But don't forget, strategy and reason also play out, so if I say we vote someone off, we do it. Got it?' She said in a rather harsh tone.
Courtney wasn't so sure, but she nodded. "Excellent." Amy smiled. "Now, we need to discuss who to vote off. I say we take out Cody because he was the first one out on our team, and he got to the final three in World Tour by laying low. If he does that for the rest of this season, he could win!"
Courtney scoffed. "I doubt it, but I've learned not to underestimate people. He might be a good option, though."
"I'm okay with voting Cody. He's too forward and he's kind of a pervert." Katie said. "We don't need someone like that here." She shook her head.
"What? But Cody's, like, the nicest guy ever! Why would you vote him off?" Sadie asked. "Besides, just because he can lay low doesn't mean he can win, he's not exactly the strongest guy here. Why don't you go for someone like Scarlett! I don't think she's very nice like she says she is."
"Well too bad, we're voting Cody, and there's nothing you can do about it. You're not voting anyway." Amy said. "Now, Courtney, promise me you'll follow the rules of the alliance that I mentioned earlier."
Amy held out her hand for a shake and Courtney bit her lip, trying to come up with a decision. "Well? You gonna shake my hand or what?" Amy snapped. After a pause Courtney shook Amy's hand. "Good. I'll be looking forward to Cody's elimination tonight."
(Outhouse Confessional- Plotting!)
Amy- "It's a good thing Sadie isn't voting with us tonight, or she's probably screw everything up! Chances are she'd convince Courtney to vote off someone else! Clearly, she's not thinking straight. Maybe I can get Katie to knock some sense into her."
Sadie- "Okay, it still feels kind of weird doing confessionals without Sadie, but sometimes I have stuff that I don't always need her to hear." She admitted. "Anyway, I don't think voting for Cody is a good decision. He's not even a pervert anymore, he's nice! I just hope he doesn't go home tonight!" She bit her lip nervously.
(Pahkitew Island Bonfire Pit)
"That was some wicked zombie fighting you guys pulled off today!" Chris grinned. "Too bad most of you got eaten by them!" he chuckled. "Now then, on to tonight's elimination! I sense some disturbance between team members and I like it! 'Means something big is gonna go down!"
"Would you please just get on with it? It's been a long night." Scarlett sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Fine then, but before I hand out marshmallows, the person who showed the most leadership during today's challenge will come on up here and pick four people to be safe along with them!" Chris said. "Twist huh?"
Some contestants groaned, while others got looks of hope on their faces. "And that person is...Jasmine! Thanks to your leadership skills, many of your teammates survived, or at least as many as possible considering who all messed up today!" Chris chuckled.
Jasmine looked slightly shocked, but smiled. She stood up from the stump she was sitting on and walked up to Chris, who handed her a small PDA. On it were the faces of everyone on her team. Her face had already received a check-mark next to it. "Hmm..." She tapped the screen a few times and then handed it back to Chris. "Done."
"Alright, let's see who she's picked!" Chris said. He scrolled through the PDA . "Those who will get their marshmallows first are: Jasmine, Courtney, Noah, Tyler, and Brick!" Chris listed.
Marshmallows were tossed to all of them. Jasmine caught hers with a smile, and Courtney and Noah caught theirs as a pleasant surprise. Tyler pumped a fist and caught his, and Brick gave a salute and began munching on the marshmallow in his hand. "The two people who got left behind," Jasmine glared at Jo, "As well as a hard working cadet, and a brave jock!" She grinned.
"That's nice." Chris rolled his eyes. "Now, those who received no votes and will live to fail another day: Katie, Scott, LeShawna, Owen, Rodney, and Amy!"
Katie squealed as she caught hers and went to hug Sadie until she realized her BFFFL wasn't sitting next to her. She frowned and sadly ate her marshmallow. Scott grinned and caught his and LeShawna smiled with hers.
Owen happily gobbled his marshmallow done before it even landed in his hand, while next to him, Rodney breathed a sigh of relief and wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead and caught his. Amy caught hers and popped it into her mouth smugly.
"And then there were four!" Chris said. "Each one of you screwed up pretty badly today!" He chuckled. "Izzy and Scarlett, you're both on the chopping block for setting off the other team's flare, causing several of your teammates to get killed in the frenzy! Pretty good reason to send you packing."
Scarlett rolled her eyes and Izzy seemed to be unfazed. Meanwhile, several teammates – mostly those affected by their actions – glared at them. "Jo, you didn't gain lots of friends after shoving Cody into a zombie shark's mouth, speeding off without Courtney and Noah, and setting off the flare before more of your team could arrive. Not the best moves."
"Wait, Jo caused Cody to get out first?" Katie asked. "Not cool!" She looked over at Amy gave her an annoyed look.
Several other team members gasped or looked mad at Jo, especially Cody. "So why am I on the chopping block?" Cody asked.
"To be honest, I'm not really sure." Chris shrugged. "You just racked up a good amount of votes. Anyway, the next two marshmallows go to Izzy and Scarlett!"
Some of the contestants were slightly annoyed by this, but Izzy cackled wildly as she caught hers, and Scarlett smiled smugly as she ate hers.
"That brings us to the final marshmallow of the night!" Chris continued. "One of you has spent your last night on Total Drama Unfinished Business, and your second chance will be over. The last marshmallow goes to..."

"Cody." Chris said, tossing the marshmallow to the ecstatic nerd. "Jo, you're out!"
"What?!' Jo cried. "Sheesh, tough crowd! None of you would know how win in combat!" She sneered. "And you know what, this show sucks anyway! I'm done, I'm gonna find a different reality show, one where I can actually play with like me!" She jabbed a thumb at herself proudly.
"Oh, you mean jerks who bully others to make themselves feel better because they're really afraid of what other people think?" Tyler asked.
Suddenly, there was a chorus of, "Ooooooooooh!" That arose from the contestants sitting around the fire. "You just got flamed!" Noah grinned.
Jo rolled her eyes. "What-ever!" She scoffed, and stormed off towards the Boot of Shame.
"Any last words Jo? Not that I care." Chris shrugged. He had the remote control in his hands and was ready to press the button.
"Yeah, why do I have to go flying through the sky with these lame-os?" She asked, jerking a thumb at Sam and Shawn who stood on the big red X with her.
"Because, they're on their way back to the Playa!" Chris said. "We figured we'd give them the real authentic TDUB experience and send 'em home on the Boot rather than a boring old boat!" He chuckled.
"Um...I'm kind of concerned with the-" Shawn was cut off when Chris pressed the button, sending the boot swinging down on them and kicking all three of them into the night sky.
"Maybe we should send more than one person to the boot more often! It's more fun to hear several screams rather than just one." he grinned. "Now, how will Amy deal with the failure of her alliance? Will Bridgette recover from the horror she experienced in today's challenge? And can Owen finally ask out Izzy? Find out on the next episode of: Total...Drama...Unfinished Business!" He declared.
(Voting Confessionals)
Amy- "I'm voting Cody because that's what the alliance has decided. If Katie and Courtney know what's good for them, they'll listen to the voice of reason, me, not Sadie. But maybe I can still keep the fat one in the alliance for a little longer before I have to dump her."
Katie- "Amy says Cody, so why not. He's too forward anyway, I won't really miss him." She shrugged.
Scott- "Well, seeing as it seems Izzy and Scarlett caused LeShawna and I to be taken out by a bunch of zombies, I'm voting for Izzy because she is one serious nut case!" He shook his head.
Jo- "Izzy. That girl is crazier than the Mad Hatter, and that's really saying something! Heck, she could be the Mad Hatter's daughter!" She exclaimed. [2]
LeShawna- "I gotta vote for Scarlett. Girl ain't right. One minute she's try'na kill five people, and the next she's all nice, it's creepin' me out." She shivered.
Owen- "I couldn't vote for Izzy, even if she might be the reason I died. I think I'll vote for Jo because she's not very nice." He frowned.
Cody- "I'm voting for Jo because she shoved me into a zombie shark's mouth! Sure, it was cool to see what a zombie shark's mouth looked like, but I much rather would have been taking out zombies!" he glared at the camera.
Izzy- "Scarlett because she's totally psycho!" She cackled. "I mean, so am I, but she's the one who came up with the whole idea for sabotage." She shrugged.
Rodney- "I think I''ll vote for Jo. She's kind of scary and not really attractive. I think we need more attractive girls on this show!" He said dreamily.
Scarlett- "Jo is the most logical reason. I'm not voting for myself, and Izzy is sort of in the alliance. Besides, she set off our flare before we were ready, and she left Courtney and Noah behind; two people we could have won with."

Reason: Jo is a pretty funny character at times, but the way I see it, her downfall is always her take-no-prisoners attitude. The only reason she was in TDROTI was to antagonize Brick, fight with Lightning, and end up getting stepped on by Cameron in the end. She didn't make it very far in all-Stars for the same reason. I found her only plot to be the fight with Brick, and how ironic that it wasn't even Brick and Tyler to take her down! If you are a fan of Jo, she'll appear in the bonus episodes, so look forward to those (They'll come out once ten people are ousted)
[1]- Many of you loved the Gravity Falls references that I put in the chapters, so I decided to put in probably one of my favorite moments: the time when Dipper, Mable, and Grunkle Stan defeated zombies by singing. If you're a Gravity Falls fan, you'll get this ;)
[2]- The daughter of the Mad Hatter is actually a character in a series called Ever After High. I don't personally watch it myself, but a good friend of mine Creaturemaster has a crossover story between Ben 10 and Ever After High, so if you're interested in either show, you might wanna check that out!
