"Last time, everyone seemed to be in extreme danger and torture of one ticked off ex-camper. Glad Ezekiel didn't do that in Season One, or Bridgette. But in the end it seem our little Janie refused to kill anyone until she got her hands on the reason that took her out of the game in Vinson. However, it seemed some luck was on his side and he was able to survive her wrath without getting himself killed or unable to do the next challenge which everyone has to do! Also it seems Vinson gained two more admirers. So much for coming here and leaving here with no friends as you thought you'd do huh Vinson?" asked Chef
"Um, we are watching the Helmets in their challenge Chef." Vinson responded.
"It's not like anything has happened since Mo and Gwen got knocked out of the game already." Said Christina nearby who was rather annoyed. Everyone in the crowd was just pissed because they haven't had any sleep last night. Only people like Shane, or crazy like Izzy were in normal for this next challenge. Really all of them in a cheery mood, In Shane's case, he wasn't so much cheery as he was just use to the lack of sleep. He thought having him and a girl like Mickey, who seemed fine would be great for this challenge.
And there Shane was all alone in the dark. Shane always dress the part of a dark a depressed guy, and it was true, he was, but it didn't change the face that most places outside of his home didn't scare the living daylights out of him. But Shane had reached the end of his hallway to a door; he was too scared to open it.
"What if whatever it is, is hanging out there just waiting to hack up my cyber body?" Shane said trying to get a grip on the world.
"It's just a game. It's just a game it's just a game." He then turned around to hear the game footsteps of Chris coming at him with a knife. Shane was now desperate to get that door open and save his life. It didn't matter if Chris here was just a fake; he was freaking out trying to get that door open. The door managed to just pry open so Shane could escape Chris's wrath and he was free to roam through he area two.
Not too long inside Shane took notice to an electric screen that gave him the option to see who has advanced. It seems Shane was the 2nd to cross into area two, but for now he was still alone.
Back at Area one you still had Mickey, Nate, Caitlyn, Cody, Ray, Gawain and Isolde. Harold was the first person to make it to area two.
Gawain's fate was sealed quickly, but not by Chris, he was caught in a trap where it seemed in this game he was playing a geek and the virtual football team found him. Gawain tried to plead with the gaming program, but it seemed that was a fruitless attempt.
"But guys, I am on a football team. I start at wide receiver."
"That's not what it says on the club activities, captain of the chess team." Said one of the virtual players who started pumping his fist. The whole gang of them beat him into submission. Those back in the real world watching that knew enough of Gawain was getting a kick out of this, which most was part of his family.
CHHHH!!!
Gawain: "I've played the game, just a bit but come on, to be a part of the chess team in the challenge that hurt Chris." Rather than sadness he was showing a fury of anger through the tears. Oh how he hated to be a loser.
CHHHH!!!
Cody had also met the same football team, but rather than being the normal tech geek he is in the real world, he was the teams starting wide receiver. Cody had caught onto what part of the challenge would mean and how far it would take him. He saw since he was a jock, odds were that he stood no chance of winning the whole game. Normally the jock was a bastard or just someone opposite of DJ, which meant he would be a target for whatever came his way. Surely enough a strange yet oddly a girl with Lindsay's hair covered in blood were trying to hit on him. He looked however, like Chris. Cody didn't know enough about the game to see what was coming.
"So there handsome," Right now was really sounding like a Chris trying to go drag, but having a girl, even if she wasn't real hitting on him, Cody didn't see it. "You want to take a trip with me to the empty classroom for a little one on one?" Chris flipping his bloody golden locks around making Cody a bit nervous he nearly faints. However, he see's that this is still a virtual game and makes a run for it.
Chris trying to plead for Cody to return does indeed stop in his footsteps but can see the look in his eyes and he knew it was Chris coming for him with a blade in hand. Cody makes a leap of desperation for the door and just grabs it. Lucky for him, he was just able to push through the door and make it to level two. It was to his surprise to hear the voice that he did.
"Of all people you had to be here? I had to run into you." She asked feeling a burning anger with himself.
"Hey now, I just had a Chris in a Blonde wig try and hit on me, and then try to kill me. Can I get a break at least for right now?"
"Whatever. We need as many people to go as far as we can right. I suppose we team up here in level two?"
Level two didn't look like a level that would have in a high school. This was an obstacle course. This was going to take some serious teamwork. By Cody's guess, this might have been Gym class in the school.
"Look at that up there!" Ray was first to notice two different boards on the list. One board had a time on it with five minutes. The second board had an each of their names on it and lives posted above it. Both of them being gamers understood roughly what each meant and got to work.
As for the rest, Mickey had to dodge bullies as she must have had the personality of a geek in this game, Mickey though had no trouble taking out the bullies herself combining her two personalities to bring the fighter out of Mickey. The Cyber Bullies never stood a chance.
Nate had a run in with Chris that didn't turn out to be too well. Unlike Cody, he didn't try to hit on him, he just got Nate right in the back and it was over.
Caitlyn had little issue getting to area two which she met up with Isolde. The same obstacle course that was put in front of them was put in front of everyone for level two.
For Harold, Mickey, and Shane, they all had to do it themselves.
For Cody and Mickey, it was going to be a struggle. Ray had the ability to do this by herself and she tried without Cody because she was still upset over what had happened. She was almost there on her first try, but when it came to the swinging bags she just couldn't make it through on her own. The second try she didn't do much better at the last area. She was about to go one more time when Cody stopped her. Then she got really angry.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!"
"But I can get you through the last area, if you can get me up the wall. You wasted over half our time not trying to think with me on this."
"That's because I'm a woman of action!" Ray said annoyed.
"Well, use your actions to get me over the wall; we can both get to the next level." Cody pleaded.
The last thing Rayna wanted to do was work with this guy after thinking she needed help and a home. Ray was often not a person who couldn't swallow her pride and go forward with anything. But this time, knowing this was her last shot, and if she doesn't team up with Cody, they could very well get last place.
With a minute and thirty seconds left, she nodded and agreed to go along with it.
The first task meant for them to go up the ladder while dodging dodge balls come down on them. There were nine ladders neatly in a row close to each other for them to swap from. They kept switching ladders with ease avoiding each ball coming down upon them. Once at the top the balls stopped coming down and now the needed to walking along a long thin pole. At the bottom was a pit of Sharks. How they got into a classroom setting was beyond all the Helmets still in the game. The third task was the wall.
Cody knew how much of a hard time this task would give him. There was no question that he did not have the upper body strength to get himself over. All Ray had to do was the top of the ten feet thing and pick Cody up and carry him over. Not like he was not light enough for her.
Then next and final task that they had to do was run across a small lane without losing their balance or get hit by the sandbags coming their way. But they had less than 30 seconds left until the game was over for them.
"Okay, when I say go, just run for it ok? The same goes for stop." Ray nodded to Cody. Just a few seconds later Cody was calling out to go.
"STOP!"
"GO!"
"STOP!"
"GO!"
"STOP!"
"GO!"
Cody made this last task go with ease. The bags looked like they were going to take them out at some points, but the two of them were able to run circles around them with Cody's timing. But time was still a problem as they still needed to make it to the door in the next five seconds. They got out just in time with the skin of their teeth.
But, who would be there to join them?
Caitlyn and Isolde both didn't have the ability to get over the wall on their own. Together, they found a way having the having the heavier of the two help the lighter of them up the wall. Caitlyn found her way up, but she couldn't bring Isolde with her. Sadly that meant she had to be left behind to be Chris's victim. Sadly, time also ran out for Caitlyn and the door disappeared. She tried to fight off Chris, but she didn't stand a chance against him as it ended with her getting a knife in the heart. But, it was something worth watching.
Caitlyn kept dodging that knife like her life depended on it. Virtual Chris was just a bit too slow for her reflexes. Caitlyn preformed a sweeping kick to knock Chris off his feet. She then tried to roll him off into the pit to try and give the rest of her team an easy win. However, while Chris was near the edge he poked Caitlyn in her eyes the temporarily blinded her in the game. Wisely she stepped back away from the area to hope she could get her vision back. When she did, it was all but over when the virtual knife was into her heart, ending the game for her. She gave it her all but sadly, not making it in time meant that she would have to end it all in failure
Mickey and Harold both had the skills and the balls to get through the challenge rather quickly when they were able to start. Both of them smart enough to get the timing right and despite Harold skinny look, he could pull himself up a wall without a problem.
In Shane's case, he was having a hard time to getting over his own fear. He hated dodge ball and those falling over the ladders made him lose his mind. He by accident moved left on a ladder when he should have went right and ran out of ladders, losing his first life. From there he just stood still in fear at the beginning. He stood there paralyzed in fear.
As Shane sat there and thought, it seemed it would always be pinned in fear, fear that he would regret having. If he was ever to go on a date with Keria, which he had been thinking about since that night, he would need to venture outdoors. He would have to face his fear the streets and cars and everything else. Unless he does this now, his fears would hold him forever. Shane just could not let that happen any way, no how.
"I have to do this."
Time was a factor as he was down to less than half a minute to go. Shane was a fast climber and his reaction time, thanks to his fear was top notch. He could avoid the balls easily. When he reached the top now it was time to work with what he had yet to see.
Shane noticed the pole that people were walking on top of, but he had a better idea. Instead of being on top, he used his hands to get across like as if he was on the monkey bars. He found it much easier since the sharks couldn't reach him from the depth they were at. Shane didn't think it as odd their being sharks here. He saw the sharks for what they were, the teachers.
The third task was the wall, which wasn't a problem for Shane. He might not look like the strongest kid out there, but he could get over walls very well.
Then here came the sandbags. This wouldn't be done the way Cody did; rather he was able to put his fear into work for him. He saw every bag out there as a moving car. From there Shane danced and dodged his way to the end of level two and made it out the door only with seconds to spare.
This made the group that made it to the final level, Harold, Mickey, Cody, Rayna and Shane.
The five of them were joined together at a sign that told them this was it. This was the final level.
The room was a library with books all around. Each of the five remaining players from the Helmets walked together. Ray subconsciously held tightly to Cody. Cody was enjoying the touch of a girl too much to not say a thing about it. Shane looked on trying to put up a brave front, but his legs shook too much. Mickey and Harold looked ready for about anything, but not sure what they could do in a game like this. They didn't even know the idea behind this last level.
"So, what exactly are we suppose to do here?" Rayna finally asked looking board to the rest of her team.
"Think we need to read a book or something? Maybe that will get us the win?" Mickey suggested to the group.
"If it were that easy, there would not be a virtual Chris trying to make this a living nightmare for the rest of us. I'm pretty sure we just need to wait for Chris and fight him to the finish. At least I hope that is what we are waiting for?" Cody brought up.
"Fight, you want me in a fight? Are you crazy man? I can't fight anyone let alone a knife wielding sadist. Even if he is not real!" Shane shirked.
"Well I'll give him one thing; the knife does give him the advantage. We will need to think of a weakness to Chris before he shows up and we will need a gameplan." Cody said trying to lead the remaining members of his team
"Come on, most of us I'm sure has beaten a video game here. We just need to think like gamers do."
"Or think like a vain person does." Mickey brought up to her team. "I have an idea." Many whispers from there can be heard but do definite words were made. The clock was ticking and they only had one minute before the sadistic host would appear before them. Once they broke free from their group huddle, he was here.
Without words Chris dashed for the group but everyone went in different directions in the library. This left even Chris playing the character clueless as to where they really were.
Each person in the game was carefully trying to get into position for him, but it seemed someone broke out of pattern. Mickey short after hiding came free.
"Yo! Chris Mcloser, bring it on!"
Chris came at her with the knife to take her out, but all Nikki did was point up with her finger as Harold wildly dived from a book shelf knocking Chris down and messed with his hair. The plan worked. The vain host was doing just as planned.
When the nerd got of the virtual host the character was in shock of his hair he tried to run to get it fixed, but Cody and Ray were blocking the only exit. Shane can In with the first hit and the rest ganged up on him and they all bested him in beat down.
With the host defeated in the last level, five could say the beat the game for Team Helmets.
"Well, that was a shocker, you all found the programming weakness to my game. No fair! How could you see through that?" Chris had to saw over a speaker since he was in a trailer playing the game.
"Chris, it's you. Your pride your hair over most things in your life since its part of you!" Harold yelled back.
"Oh, right!"
The campers that had managed to win game one were able to get off the field with their heads high. Ray dragged off the slowest because she just couldn't help but admire Cody a little more. Endie the matchmaker saw it all from the stands.
"Can we please get Team Runners onto the field?" Chris said over the speaker. Garry had to poke Vinson awake because he hadn't gotten much sleep since he even got on the island. To be honest, that was the best sleep he has had since he got here.
CHHH!!!
Vinson: Ever since I started here, between Heather's moments in the tent and last night, I really haven't been able to get any kind of sleep. I'm going to do my best, but judging by that challenge team Helmets did, I won't be able to last very long."
CHHH!!!
Vinson and the other placed the helmets on their heads and all of them got prepared for the worst. Heather was expecting to be the first victim via her own team. Garry was bopping in excitement. Vinson, look damn near ready to pass out. The rest of the team was prepared as they could be. Even without a nights rest, they still had been a bit more rested than Vinson has.
"So anyone think this will hurt?" Ezekiel asked.
"It's a video game. How on earth could anyone get hurt?" Alanna tried to put down the home school child.
"Relax; virtual reality is supposed to promote fun, not pain. I understand where you come from, you might not play many, or any, but stick by the Hood and you will survive." Garry said trying to cheer him up which sort of worked.
"Oh come on Chris; let's just get this over with!" Heather demanded.
"You guys ready, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!" Chris said and the helmets were applied to each Runner.
They were all greeted to a white screen which to there surprise just started off with fireworks with some kind of celebration. The words soon would flash up 3rd place. Then soon everyone would look stunned and take off the helmets looking around in shock. Only the three queens had the will to say something. Kia was just first.
"Okay Chris, what was that all about?"
"Well simple, you guys get 3rd place in the fan fiction challenge."
WHAT?" Forty five of the forty six contestants went into shock to see the game was already over before it started, well for the Runners. The lone contestant, who didn't speak, was Vinson. He was too tired to think straight.
"Well, you guys had your game when it came to the crazy Janie trying to kill you all. Since Vinson saved you all and beat the killer single handed, I'm throwing Team Runners here a bone and giving them 3rd place this time around.
"You mean since they saved your future paychecks, you going to let them skate into the next round?" Noah pointed out but Chris just moved on to the next set of teams. He too was ready to move this along but with more excitement. Vinson however would need to be carried off the field as he fell asleep again as soon as he heard the contest was over.
With Team Runners off, the Necromancers were next on the field. Some were hoping to get this over with quick. Others were rather excited to see who and what this challenge could possibly be.
CHHHH!!!
Geoff: "It was so cool to see another challenge to prove my toughness and all, even if it didn't go my way, but now I just had to prove I can win one for my team. All through Total Drama Island, I did not do anything to get a team win and I didn't win a challenge on my own. I was the captain for can you Take the Heat challenge, but it was more ruined by the other team. I really needed something to prove myself. DJ at least had two wins when you include Action."
CHHHH!!!
Noah: "I just need to make sure my team wins until I can get to something more my strength. That way I can prove my worth and not be on the brink of losing the mystery prize. I think I have a chance to do so this time around.
CHHHH!!!
Walter: "Great, we know this would not take a great mind game here. But this being from the mind of the Necromancer, what challenge that he had done will prove worth our time?"
CHHHH!!!
The Twelve of them placed their helmets one in waiting for the game to begin. Katie needed Asher to do it for her, since she wasn't doing anything at all. They were lucky she even walked. The vision that all had was, they were all in a single cabin with some instructions on the wall. Of the campers inside Terran was the camper to get close to it first. He read off the instructions to the rest of his team.
"This on is a simple game my dears. Survive through what is waiting for you outside this door. Do so for an hour and you will end the challenge. There are a few rules."
"One; once out this cabin, you may not run back inside. Doing so will end the game for you."
"Two; you may use anything that you really carry and have it as a weapon for this challenge. You just might need it.
"Three; Do not enter the water for any reason. Doing so will end the game for you. That's it." Terran ended as the rest of the team thought, well all but Derek did. The guy felt ready to take on whatever was out there right now. Both Summer and Walter held him back before he opened the door.
"Don't you realize once you go out there the game is over for you?" Summer said.
"Even if that is the case, if I open the door and keep it open you guys just might know what you are dealing with. In this game some of us are just pawns and I'm making a sacrifice for the team."
"But anyone can be the sacrifice at that point." Walter said looking around the room. "Ok here is how we will decide it. Who here has won a video game tournament at least city wide raise your hand." Walter found himself the only one able to do so. "Well then I'm safe."
Walter knew exactly what he was doing.
"Anyone who has a registered I.Q of over 130, other than myself?" Summer, Dexter, Noah and Terran's hand all went up.
"Well then you guys can stay in the game. Anyone ever beat a NES game like it was nothing, and I'm not talking about those 3 level ones, or shortcuts, the whole game." The only person able to shoot his hand in the air with the remaining group was Dre. Katie looked on with her blank stare shaking in the corner of the room. Summer took notice that she wasn't even listening.
"Oh why not just send Katie out there? Then we at least keep the eleven people we can speak to alive." Summer complained that this game was going no where."
Dre and Derek just looked at each other with a shrug and grabbed Katie before she went outside. Noah got a wild idea before letting her go as he stopped their progress at the door. Geoff approached the three and then begins to whisper into the ear of the thinner BFFL. It was too quiet for even the likes of Dre or Derek to hear, but a sudden fire lit into Katie. She knocked Dre and Derek both down and went blazing through the door. It was left open for everyone to see.
Most of them did not know what to expect, but one camper was sure to know what was to happen here. He was the biggest fan of the Kobold Necromancer on the island. He knew everything about his first story and the second he saw that the camp was out at sea, he was certain that an enraged Katie just would never be enough of the mighty Kraken.
Little did he know of the real thing to fear in the depths of that sea. Out of the waters instead was a giant head of someone the Canadians knew all to well. And even though this person was fighting for the Vice President seat in the United States, the name of this beast was feared throughout all Canada.
The contestants all said in unison…
"SARAH PALIN!!!"
The beast made a battle cry to the tune of Godzilla as popular to hear when one just can't be created; they must just crop one for themselves. This irritated people like Walter.
So now, It was raging Katie vs. Giant Sarah Palin.
Something snapped in Katie when she was out there and for some reason she leapt onto the giant former Vice President candidate and what a leap. She made it all the way to the top of the face of the giant. She kept on punching it over and over. She must be strong enough to disturb her because Palin would indeed cry out in pain with each hit. The Palin was diving into the water, Katie leapt back onto the platform.
CHHHH!!!
Mark: "I guess Katie was listening when Terran read out those rules."
CHHHH!!!
Palin's arm cam out in a rage trying to sink Katie back into the sea. Katie didn't expect it coming, but it just missed as she dove for the side.
The people in the crowd minus a sleeping Vinson were all in wonder at how in the world she was really jumping that high and jumping that far. The rest of her team looked like they were huddled together. Some thought for reasons of fear.
Indeed, they were huddle together but only because the wanted to see the fight. In Dexter's case, if he wanted to catch anything he would need to jump in the air, or look under Nikki's skit and that was not going to happen.
To the fight again, All Palin would do is expose her hand to Katie trying to grab her and take her into the sea. This new, seemingly crazy Katie wasn't going to go down that easy. It was getting interesting because she was getting rather tired of not catching Katie along the dock.
The mighty Palin exposed herself once more using both of her hands to bash on the pier. Katie was able to match the intensity bobbing and dodging as best as she could. She once again leapt onto the mighty Palin for another attack. Palin, was expecting it this time, and took a dive as it were. Katie ended up underwater and out of the game. Now someone else needed to go out there
"Damn!" Dre said kicking into the air. "She was doing so well to."
"No exactly." Walter said looking up at the HP board for Palin outside. Katie made a dent, but her hit points were still over nine thousand.
"WHAT! NINE THOUSAND?!" Derek said. Those who got the reference laughed and in Dexter's case he was on the floor doing so. Summer, Nikki and Asher didn't pick up on it.
"Well all joke aside group, we need to get out there and send the Beast's hit points down to zero. Any real ideas here team?" Asked Noah looking and hoping to the other members of his team left.
"I can make a giant sling shot?" Walter starter and we can use what he have right here in this cabin to get the job done. I'm just going to need to strong people to help me. Asher and Geoff, you guys looked strong enough."
What in the world do you plan to do with all this?" Mark asked the overweight smart guy.
"I plan to fire off logs from this cabin straight for her head, but some is going to need to go out there before we lose this challenge, if we stay here too long Chris might take it as a forfeit."
"So do we just all go out there at once?" Nikki asked.
"No, then she will just get us all. I say, we go out their one at a time and try to make it get us one at a time. I'll go first." Noah said starting to walk out there.
As impressed as most of his team was, He was held back by Mark before he could even make it out the door.
"Don't you think someone with a bit more athletic skill should go out there and buy us more time?"
"Someone with a little less ability is going to need to buy the rest of you time the stretch and all that. So don't expect me to last long." Noah said walking outside.
CHHHH!!!
Noah: "I thought going outside might help my case. I don't expect to run around and all that jazz. Palin is a politician and she is one, whom hates the tough questions… and anyone who seems against her. So that was everyone but Fox News in the media."
CHHHH!!!
Noah walked out leaving all the decoys watching what he might do. Noah with a bored look on his face was just walking calmly to the end of the dock. Sarah tried to slam her fist down right on Noah, but before she could even reach him…
"Mccain Palin 08!"
Inches from her virtual fist pounding and ending Noah's time in the game they stopped on impact. Those in the know with politics were a bit surprised. While Noah rolled his eyes towards they got what he was doing and he was brilliant. Proving that his brains could really help in this challenge and he would buy Walter all the time he needed hopefully on his own.
The contestants back at the camp were clueless at what people the people were doing in this game. With Katie the only person eliminated, they felt they couldn't pump info out of her. They did hear the yells of Sarah Palin, so they had an idea of who was in the game. However, what the heck did that had to do with the Kobold Necromancer?
"Yes and indeed, I couldn't agree more that spending money wouldn't just add on to the problem, but don't you also agree that possibly that you guys wouldn't just spend the money elsewhere? Debt is debt and we just seem to add onto it President by President."
"But under Mccain there would have been no extra money spent don't cha know? We would have brought the world together as we would have Alaska be the central of everything being that it can see the whole world from where it is."
Noah just looked at her running out of things to talk about. Chris's ideals on politics were too small. It seemed he could even program a Palin, like Palin. She was at least smarter than this. And he didn't think he would meet one worse.
The good news was, he bought Walter all the time he needed as he made the sling shot base out of the wood at the back of the cabin and then strangely enough the game provided the giant rubber band as Walter did some reprogramming with his handy dandy really universal remote control. Almost anything electronically based he could manipulate into anything he wanted to. Video games were well within his reach.
Another log from the cabin was cut and sharpened into a spear which now Dre, Mark, Walter, Derek and Geoff were all carrying outside. They would need to hold on as Walter took his virtual creation and made his aim.
Noah was barely holding her attention away from the wooden slingshot as he fired off aimed right for the head. It was a perfect fit, and a fitting end to the beast and the game. Team Necromancer was rolling into the next challenge on a roll. They had a close call in the A-thon, but there was nothing stopping them now. Katie was the only one that got eliminated, that meant they had eleven campers left, which meant the worst they could be is tied for first.
Even Chris was impressed by their team work.
"Well for those of you that couldn't see a thing, thanks to Noah's distracting the beats Walter and the rest of the team was able to fire a spear into the giant forehead of monster Palin. They still have eleven people left in the game and since the Killer Bass can't beat eleven, the Kobold Necromancers are at least tied for first place and can gain the team prize for this challenge. And since Team Runners has yet to get their's from the last challenge, they will be joining you. "
"I also need to hand out all the rewards for all the challenges. I think you can forgive me considering all that's happened."
"Well we might forgive you a little more if you would have just given us the day off." Said Gwen. The rest of the crowd still agreeing other than Vinson, who still wasn't able to vote one way or the other.
"You guys realize it's not even 10 a.m. yet? We will eliminate the camper right away to save time after this and then you have the rest of the day to rest. It's not all that bad."
CHHHH!!!
Chris: "Geez, these kids should be nice I'm getting the challenge out of the way now. If I didn't it might be harder to stay awake the whole day waiting for it."
CHHHH!!!
Sam: "I can't believe I'm saying this, but Chris may have a point. And since I know I'm safe, I think I head to my resting place."
CHHHH!!!
Sam and a few other campers did that. People not interested in what happens now such as Dre, Dexter and Terran. DJ and Asher were both gone for a short time, but that was only to take Vinson to his tent.
The Killer Bass needed this. If four or less campers didn't end this challenge with a win, the game was over for them. They were already one camper down like Team Helmets and could afford to be two down what may be like the strongest two teams on the island.
CHHHH!!!
Eva: "I hate to say it, but team Necromancer might be the best team in this game. Summer and out alliance may be considered a thicker group than that team, but hell if they know it. I hate to say this, but I might need to target that team in the challenges ahead and keep my leader safe. That may sound weird to some of you, me speaking like this, but I am a team player, when things go my way. Never forget however, this game is all about me, and that's who I'm thinking about."
CHHHH!!!
Nate: "I can't believe those two teams are going to survive again. It's not fair that the Runners get a free pass. Though if it weren't for Vinson's actions, I might be dead now."
CHHHH!!!
Garry: "WHY GOD WHY? I WANTED TO PLAY THE GAME SO MUCH! LET ME KILL CHRIS! LET ME KILL PALIN… ANNAKA!"
CHHHH!!!
The Bass were now on the field as the last team to take on the challenge. Without question they were somehow hoping for a free pass so they could keep all eleven of them odds was though that wasn't going to happen.
Nick, Izzy and Kenny were all feeling pretty good about this challenge. In Kenny's case, it was because he is a semi-pro fighter and being such, he could be able to handle a knife wielding manic.
As for Nick and Izzy, you could guess for those two.
"Killer Bass, ready to rock?" Chris asked the team. Outside of Nick and Izzy he didn't get too much of a response. They just put their helmets on and got ready for the worst.
They all took notice that they were in their normal clothes. Leah was the first to take notice to the rules in the sky. She read them off as she felt her team would soon enough get the picture of where they are, just by the sheer shock that she was speaking.
"Hello campers," she started off to get their attention. "This challenge is based on a game TDI Charlie Brown did. Though not complete when this came out. The base idea is an evil witch, so who do you think we got for that? Beat the witch and you win the challenge."
Everyone was looking up at the screen. It only stayed for a few more minutes once everyone got a chance to read. As soon as the screen faded, lighting struck. A vortex appeared in front of everyone and walking out was the same short top, short short wearing Heather. Like Sarah Palin before her, Heater was pretty gigantic. Not quite as big but twenty feet.
Fear was not going through the eyes of any of the Killer Bass, rather they were excited. This was who they get to destroy? This was going to be a blast.
Eva was the first to charge in full rage, what she didn't get to see, was Heather's eyes turning red and firing laser beams from them. Eva got hit right away and was out of the game. Eight of the remaining ten then did have a sense of fear in themselves.
Nick and Izzy though were ready for combat.
"You think Izzy is scare of you? You think a few lasers will get me down, bring it on you she beast!"
Back outside Eva was kicking grass into the air for how silly she was thinking Chris would give them such an easy challenge. That was more to the point why Eva was Eva. Seems she will always be too much of a hot head.
Back in the game more words appeared overhead to talk about how the game really goes. This time Enide took the reading out role. Giant Heather just stood there with her arms crossed giving them a chance.
"As you are you have no chance of winning. But out in the forest there are power ups any one of you can find and use for your advantage. When this message fades you will get a one minute head start to find any of the power ups and weapon upgrades. Good luck."
The message faded away and all but Nick and Izzy ran off like they got their heads cut off. They however just looked at each other with eyes of fury. It was as if they knew, it didn't matter what they other campers did, it would be down to them to defeat the Wicked Witch of Wawanakwa.
"Loser gets to watch the other do a strip tease?" Nick suggested.
"Oh, it's on. Bring it baby!"
They both then went off in other directions looking for anything they could find.
When the time faded, the games had begun.
Keria was having a hard time finding anything. But then she was having a hard time being motivated to do just about anything. Video games were not here thing and she had no idea as to how to go about finding anything power ups.
It was then in her thoughts she found the young Avalon wondering about trying to find anything possible. Avalon was far from her type of girl to hang out with, but she felt there were more powers in numbers. Plus if Heather shows up no way she could slow her down.
"Find anything yet there little girl?" Keria asked rudely. Avalon being the girl she was just let it goes.
"I just need to find something so I can help our team out. I don't want someone to go home again so soon."
"Avalon right?" Avalon nodded to Keria. "Can you even put up a good fight?"
"No, but it wouldn't hurt to try." She said with a grin but rather loudly.
"Keep your voice down. The last thing we need to do is be heard by Heather and then get eliminated before we even get the chance to try." Keria showing he bully was to a small defenseless girl whom had yet to harm her in any way, as if she could.
Avalon still just sat there and took the verbal put downs as nothing. She had to deal with worse from her own brothers, and then you had Enide who was all over the place. Ms popular and has had no time for Avalon anymore It would be ok if she and Isolde had more in common, sadly that wasn't true. Avalon didn't make too many friends outside of her family. Sure she had her freshmen squad, but in no way did she consider them friends.
"So, here was what I was thinking," Keria continued. "We get as many power up we find together and then I have them all. I can actually fight with us two and at the same time I can protect you. Doing so will keep at least two people in the game.
Avalon didn't like the idea of not even getting a chance to play in this game, but she did nod and let Keria lead the way. The fewer toes she crossed the better was always the way Avalon though.
Elsewhere others of the team were work together as well Catherine, Leah and Kenny was a team in finding anything and they were the first to do so; a pair of spiked boxing gloves that Kenny was all over.
Tyler on the other hand was trying to get along with Christina in this game, but not having as much success as the other two groups.
"But we need to try and work as a team as much as we can. If that thing finds us one on one as we are we will be toast."
"First, keep your voice down before she does find us. " She stated. "And second, you could have any ability you wanted, you will still get your self fried by that witch. So you do what you have to do and I will do the same, away from you." She said sternly.
Tyler just turned in defeat giving up on the idea. Tyler always was never good at sports or games, at all, but he never quit. He knew Christina wasn't nice but the more help you had the better.
Unfortunately for Christina, Giant Heather would find her first.
With no Power ups Christina was forced to run for everything she had from the giant beast. Christina was fast, but so was the virtual Heather the eventually just stepped right on top of the girl. When she took off her helmet and threw it on the ground, the Helmet's through their hands in the air. Four more and they had a tie with each other and five to win.
Inside the game things were going much better for the two groups. Keria had found two power ups. One power up gave her lighting, magic spells and super speed. It was hard for Avalon to keep up with her virtual self but Keria soon enough got use to the spell in time.
Everyone on Kenny's team had at least two power ups with Catherine getting the 3rd. Catherine could now read where Heather was in the game and use it to the teams advantage. Along with that power she had a Bo Staff which Kenny gave her enough understanding over and she had hit points, one hundred to be exact.
Leah found something that really fit her. She found a magical guitar power up that could shoot out different elements with a strum of a cord. She was really enjoying that. Her second up grade were 5 smoke bombs.
As for Kenny, to go with his spiked boxing gloves, he had a static shield around himself that gave him the skill to have protected himself from one of Heather's hits.
Avalon still was just human.
Avalon and Keria did run into another power soon enough as they moved along as she found the power of plant life. Keria was about to take it, but then thought that would be a worthless power. She let Avalon take it. Avalon was grateful to have something, to be able to fight. She just wanted to belong in something.
Tyler was struggling to find anything. He heard Giant Heather when she got Christina and barely managed to hide from her himself.
Now he was walking on his own through this game, knowing he looked like a fool to the outside people, even if they were use to it by now. He just wanted one power he could use and maybe get the win for his team. He just wanted to prove he had one skill.
After Total Drama Tyler found that he had been disowned by the Jock community. Seeing him perform the way he did, especially in Phobia Factor. With the chickens, life hadn't been the best for the Jock since then. He has been working even harder and harder on his jump shot, his running, his swinging his pitching and so on, but Tyler never got even a bit better.
His father tried to get him to quit, but it wasn't happening no way not how. No matter what his father told him, his ex-friends, he would never give up on sports he always said. He didn't care for getting famous, just being ok at one game.
"Come on Tyler, get in the game. Got to find yourself a skill to help out this time around."
Tyler was hanging his head the whole time until he ran into a tree and fell on his back.
He turned his head over before he was about ready to give up when he noticed he found a power up. Tyler popped to his feet and ran to check out what it really was. The block just had a question mark on it. He deemed that something he didn't know was better than something you know nothing.
He walked over and touched it like it was nothing. When it was over he could see that he virtual outfit had changed to a familiar green tunic with a sword Tyler knew all to well. He was well in the know for this Video game. Shield sword and many other weapons at his disposal. Tyler had become Link.
He was about to yell out in his success, but then he took notice as to Heather might hear him. He did not want the giant she beast to find him and end him on this game by now so he wandered off hoping to find the rest of his team.
"Man where is anyone? With my cool new ability we should be able to take down Heather as a team."
"Well aren't we all lucky." Went a voice as Tyler went to see who it might be.
Meanwhile, Keria was also wondering where she could find the rest of her team. She hadn't said anything to Avalon in a while. She could see the little girl was a bit worried, but right now that was the least of her problems. For all she knew they were the last two people in the game.
When you look at the rest of her team…
Eva was already gone.
Tyler was too uncoordinated for this game and was most likely out.
Catherine, Leah and Christina would all be weaknesses consider they aren't the gamer and action typed combined.
Kenny, he was too quiet to really to understand.
Nick and Izzy were both too much for words.
And what could Avalon and Enide do other than Avalon's speed again, and Enide's boy crazy ways?
Truly, Keria thought her whole team was useless or an unknown element to the game such as the crazy couple and Kenny.
As for Enide, she would sadly meet her end quick to the hands of Heather. Enide did find powers which made her an angel; however it wasn't to be for long as Heather clipped her wings or in a better sense, stepped on her.
Nick and Izzy were no where to be found but to all those outside of the game watching they were both clearly still in the game. Each was at different ends of the gigantic field.
Back to Keria and Avalon, for a while they were stuck with just each other for a while they were hoping they were not the only ones left. Neither had spoken a word which just Avalon had to say something, just to perk her up.
"Come on, we just have to find someone from out teams. We can't be the last ones left. We wouldn't need to play if we were by ourselves. If we could meet up with any members of our teams it would be nice for you to say something.
"That can be arranged." Said a voice, but who is it?"
CHHHH!!! Next time
