Unfortunately, I do not own the Total drama series at all. It is owned by Teletoon in Canada. I want to apologize to all who enjoy this story... Ive been neglecting this story for some time but I did work on some ideas and here they are. In the last installment, Leshawna had a heart to heart with Gwen about her pregnacy. Duncan, Dj, and Marik infiltrated the stronghold and are now on a collision course with the last remaining members of the VIPER unit. Also this is NOT the last chapter of this story.

Chapter 21: Paying Tributes

[Groznyj Grad-West Wing]

Duncan and Dj walked down the long corridor for about 10 minutes when they came across a strange room. Curiously, they both entered scanning the entire perimeter for any signs of an ambush. Once they signalled the all clear Dj caught sight of groteque shapes hanging on hooks in a far corner.

"What the hell?" Duncan couldn't believe his eyes.

Dj only bowed his head in disappointment.

"Harold... Justin... How did this happen?"

"I guess Alejandro didn't take to kindly to failure..." Dj pondered.

"What happened to these guy...?" Duncan asked in utter disgust and disbelief.

[Groznyj Grad-North Wing]

After avoiding guards and dodging camera's Marik finally had a chance to just walk and think as he heard the clomping of his boots on the hard pavement.

There isn't much time I must find them but... what's going to happen?

His thoughts were interupted by a sudden chill that ran his spine.

"Hello, amigo..." the voice that spoke from the darkness gripped him like a python squeezing it's prey.

"Show yourself, Alejandro..." he spoke trying to regain his composure.

As the lights shown brightly temporarily blinding him. Once his eyes adjusted, he saw the very two he was looking for.

"It's good to see you again. We've been expecting to see you here soon." Courtney sarcastically taunted.

"I'd say that the feelings mutual but I'd be lying... Now where's Leshawna?" Marik's glare seemed to have an effect because once he and Courtney locked eyes, she had a moment of hesitation. He had sensed it but she quickly regained her own composure.

"Your Amor, is safely contained in the east wing of this fortress. I figured that you would expect to find me with her so I played drew a new card and played my hand only to have you fall into my trap..."

As soon as he finished, soldiers stormed the room and surrounded Marik leaving him no choice.

"I'll kill you!" he storm with a speed unseen at Alejandro only to have his kick blocked by Courtney.

He countered with another kick to Courtney while switching his body to another position connecting with her ribs. She crashed along into a few guards. With a look of temporary satisfaction, he turned only to recieve an iron punch to the jaw. This blow caused him to fade in and out of consciousness. The guards immediately grabbed him and took his limp body away.

[West wing chemical facility]

After surveying the corpses of Harold and Justin, the two headed to the next room . Dj decided to use this opportunity to check the computer database on what happened. After about 5 minutes he found what he was looking for.

Subject: Harold

Age: 19

Codename: Pain

Status: Deceased... gunshot to head

Target(s): Marik & Leshawna

"Wow this guy had it bad." Duncan tried to joke but Dj shook his head.

"That's not all, look at this."

Killed by: Alejandro Burromuerto aka The End

Duncan could only look on dumbfounded.

"This guy is seriously messed up!"

Subject: Justin

Age: 21

Codename: Fear

Status: Deceased...Ripped apart limb from limb

Target(s): Duncan, Gwen, Geoff, & Bridgette

Killed by: Courtney aka The Joy

"This is too much I dont wanna see anymore..." Duncan winced.

"Then permit us to put you out of your misery." a dark yet familiar voice shattered the think tenseness in the air.

The two agents turned around to see Eva carrying a flame thrower, and Trent wearing a hooded cloak and floating in the air.

"Great, just what we needed..." Dj held out his M67 shot gun while Duncan pull out his hand gun.

[East Wing Torture Room]

Marik hung from the banister limp from the abuse he had just endured. He was severely beaten, shock tortured, blindfolded, and used for a punching bag by Alejandro and Courtney.

"Now then Amigo, are you sure you can take anymore torture? This can end simply by you admitting that I've beaten you." he put on that trademark smile that made him so irresistable to women.

Marik remained silent however which infuriated the Latin Terrorist.

"ADMIT IT!" Alejandro attempted to throw another bone crunching punch when Courtney stopped him.

"I have an idea..." she gave him a peck on the lips and walked out.

Alejandro removed the blindfold and glared at his foe. Both men's eyes said all that needed to be said. His eyes revealed a wall of fire of hatred that could only be quelled by the utter destruction of his rival. Marik's eyes revealed a darkness that only wants to see Alejandro pay for all his crimes. All the betrayal, lies, attacks, and harsh words would play an intricate role in the man he was today.

"We're back..." Courtney giggled wickedly.

We're? Marik wondered. Just then, the only weakness he had came walking through the door holding her stomache and her head bowed in shame.

Leshawna? No!
