Episode 11: Grendel Seek
"Last time on Total Drama University the players were supposed to find my case and then sky dive onto a itty bitty target but Zoey ruined that"
*clips of all the locations of the kidnapped players are shown*
"Zoey kidnapped four contestants and tied them up and was willing to destroy the very important case but enough of that"
*the camera shows Lucas standing in the dean's office and it's dark outside*
"We will have a terrifying challenge today for English class the story Beowulf will come alive, will people wet their pants? Will they survive the night? And whose stuffed seal is this?" Lucas holds up a white stuffed seal "I'm serious whose is it?"
*inside the loser dorms*
Cyrus opens his eyes and reaches under his bed. He reaches deeper until he can't reach and ends up falling off the bed.
"Ow that wasn't smart" Cyrus whispers hoping not to wake anyone up
He looks under the bed but can't find what he's looking. He bites his lower lip as he looks through his bags.
*Confessional: Cyrus*
"Please no one find it other than me" he says to himself as he puts his shirt on
Joshua sleepily digs into his pillow looking for something. He opens his eyes when he can't find it.
"My locket it's gone!" Joshua yells out before covering his mouth "Where is it?" he looks around and finds Cyrus is missing and his eyes narrow
*Confessional: Joshua*
"Okay an alliance my foot" Joshua grumbles "I am hoping Cyrus didn't steal it but if he did oh he's going to get it"
Joshua quietly gets dressed and sneaks out the door and sees Cyrus enter the male room of the winning dorms. He follows him inside and he sees him searching through the room.
"Hey give it back if you took it" Joshua whispers in Cyrus's ear making him jump
"I wouldn't take whatever you're looking for I'm busy looking for what I'm missing" Cyrus whispers back as James stirs slightly
"Will you let go of my leg" Joshua says
"I'm not touching your leg but I'm pretty sure your touching mine" Cyrus as he looks down and sees a green clawed hand coming out from under the bed holding his leg. He slowly raises his leg before stomping the arm with his free foot and stomps the one holding Joshua
"Let's move before whatever down there comes out" Cyrus says worriedly. Whatever is hiding under the bed pops its head out and growls and glares at them with glowing yellow eyes. They both let out a scream and run out of the room and scramble back into the losing dorms panting. They slam the door causing everyone to wake up.
"Cyrus what's wrong?" asked a sleepy Riley
"I-I-I think we s-saw a monster in the other side of the dorms" Cyrus stammers
"James is in there with it" adds Joshua before Cyrus and Joshua share a scared look
"We left James with it!" Cyrus and Joshua exclaim in union "We?! You did!"
Everyone exits the room and burst into the winning dorm startling James awake
"Wha-What's happening?" James rubs his eyes "Is it a challenge?"
"No but there's a monster supposedly from these two chickens" Solis says pointing at Cyrus and Joshua
"No monster huh" says Riley "Look at the wall"
Everyone turns to the wall to see a message written in something that looks like blood
"'I've taken something dear to you if you want it back hunt it down but beware I'll hunt you down as well, a dear friend Grendel' anyone missing something?" asked Solis and both Cyrus and Joshua raise their hand "Well everyone should go check if their missing anything and stick with a buddy"
*Confessional: Solis*
"Scared on the streets is something similar to this of course I grown used to it and don't fear almost anything anymore" Solis says with a smug look
Everyone starts to disperse into groups of two except Solis who goes to Luna's dorm room. He turns the knob but it doesn't turn. He lets out a sigh and starts to pick the lock with a paper clip.
"Luna wake up we have to stick..." Solis finds the room empty "Together"
Solis flips the nearest bed to him and clenches his fist before storming out of the room.
"Luna! This isn't funny!" Solis yells into the hallway
Everyone comes together and to a Solis who is kicking the wall.
"Dude calm down" says Riley hesitantly "What's wrong?"
"Luna's gone and I am going to find her" Solis says "I need to help her"
Solis walks to the other side of the hallway yelling out Luna's name
"Should we really let him go on by himself?" asked Cyrus
"No but there's no way he'd let us help but if we can we should" says Ivy "We have a fish to fry anyway Lucas is here somewhere and we need clues"
"Yeah but I think we should also look for our stuff for any embarrassing personal items" says Cyrus blushing "I really want to find it and it might be in the vents or something"
"Okay everyone calm down" James says "We find Lucas or to where he possibly is we split into two teams, one will go to his quarters the other the dean's office maybe we can find something useful"
Everyone nods in agreement
"I say someone should go and find Solis someone who won't get mauled by him" suggest James
"I'll do it" Ivy says "If we get to brawling I'll be able to handle my weight" she starts to run the direction Solis went
"Cy want to partner up with me?" asked Riley
*Confessional: Riley*
"Maybe not the best way to make a move but I should do it soon in case either one of us gets the boot"
"I say that's the best choice" says Joshua "Well take Lucas's quarters and you'll take the dean's office"
The two teams split up heading different directions
*James and Joshua*
"Well were here what should we expect?" asked James
"Probably a sneak attack or maybe a blind panic" answers Joshua slowly opening the door
They slowly walk in and find it empty. They look around and search the room. Joshua checks the closet while James looks inside the closet.
"Hey I found walkie talkies under here" says James
"And I have flashlights but we probably won't need" says Joshua
"Is this thing working?" asked Riley's voice over the PA
"Only works one way Riley anyway we found a note from Lucas 'I have accidentally released a terrifying beast that stalked the show since season four so your challenge is to find whatever personal treasure it stole and try not to get kidnapped' so were basically stuck on our own let's meet up somewhere like the-" the power goes out cutting out the last words Cyrus was saying
"Let's move fast James" Joshua turns on a flashlight and sees a green claw reaching down for James from the vent "James move!" James ducks down and the claw swipes at air, it releases a growl before scampering off.
*Cyrus and Riley*
Cyrus quickly paces back and forth fidgeting
"This is bad power is out and we have no light source" Cyrus says terrified "And to make things worse something is looking for us"
"Cy calm down we can get through this and we should try to win the challenge" Riley says grabbing Cyrus in a hug "It's simple we find our stuff if we can and try not to get kidnapped"
"Yeah but how are we going to find our stuff?" asked Cyrus
"Not sure we'll find something but to make things easier I need to find a pair of studs they were a gift from my grandma before she passed away" Riley says leading Cyrus into the moonlight "What about you?"
"You'll think it's childish" says Cyrus blushing
"I won't everyone's personal thing are theirs for one reason or another" says Cyrus
"Okay it's a stuffed seal" Cyrus says and lightly punches Riley's arm as he stifles a laugh "It's the one thing I have from my dad since he promised to take me from my mom and be a happy family without her, but it's been a few years now and I sort of still hope he will"
*Confessional: Cyrus*
"I ended up spilling the beans on the seal to Riley" Cyrus sighs "He probably thinks I'm silly"
*Confessional: Riley*
"Wow that must be something he keeps to himself a lot" Riley pauses to think and his face brightens up "But he told me so easily maybe he does like me"
Riley is about to leave until he sits back down
"How does this place still have power?" Riley asked out loud
"Cyrus maybe it's a little late, I hope not, but I really like you and I want to know how you feel about me?" asked Riley hesitantly
"Riley I like you too but I was hoping you'd tell me at a different time frame other than a horror movie" Cyrus answers and Riley breaks into a smile
"So that means you like me" Riley says triumphantly
Cyrus just gives him a quick kiss on his lips as an answer
"Great answer Cy now let's figure how to get out of here without being possible lunch" Riley looks up and sees a vent grate "Want to use the vents?"
"Sure what could go wrong?" says Cyrus with a slight hint of fear in his voice
*Ivy*
"Solis" Ivy whispers "Solis where are you?"
She keeps her hand against the wall to lead herself until she bumps into something warm and wet
"Gross what is this?" she looks up and sees a pair of glowing eyes
Ivy lets out a scream as the thing grabs her in its claw
"Let me go!" Ivy yells punching the claw with her fist, she slowly starts to stop "What's that awful smell?" she mutters before passing out
*Solis*
"If I was a monster where would I hide?" Solis asked himself as he wanders around until he finds the boiler room "The boiler room probably"
He slowly walks in, guiding the way with the wall he starts to go away from the wall until he walks into something slimy
"Great sludge waste" mutters Solis he hears muffled cries from inside the slime covered thing. He digs his hand into where he thinks the sound is coming from and pulls out a large chunk of slime off
"Whose there? Don't touch me!" Luna yells out
"Artemis calm down its me" Solis says soothingly
"Apollo thank goodness your here be careful it left it might come back" Luna says terrified "Get me out of this"
Luna struggles as Solis digs chunks of slime away. Luna stops to struggle and Solis can feel her shaking.
"Artemis what's wrong?" Solis says
"Move away from me slowly" Luna whispers
"Why?" asked Solis as a green claw clamps onto his head "*bleep* if I'm still alive I'm going to kill McLean"
*Joshua and James*
"Were screwed and what should we do?" says Joshua
"We need to find Riley, Ivy, Cyrus, Solis, Ivy and Luna or if not we find our stuff and one of us should win this" says James as he sweeps the library with the flashlight "Is your thing shiny"
"Yes and it's on a chain" Joshua says excitedly
"They're just a pair of earrings" says James as he holds them up "Maybe their someone's we can make a deal to vote someone off
"Hey anyone still alive?" asked a voice in a crackling voice
"Who was that?" asked James
"Do you really need to ask" says Joshua as he holds the walkie talkie "McLean you better explain what's happening"
"Your alive" says Lucas sounding disappointed "Well if it's any consolation because I'm not until it's over amnyway last one more hour and the one who has their item wins immunity and gets to pick who goes, good luck avoiding Grendel"
"Okay it's obvious he won't respond to us so we have earrings and maybe we can swap items when the time comes" says James they exit the library
*Cyrus and Riley*
"It smells like sewage up here" complains Cyrus as the crawl through the vent
"We should hurry up and get out of here" says Riley
"I knew Lucas would put you in this place" says Cyrus as he crawls into a larger area "I'm so happy I found you" Cyrus tightly hugs his seal until he realizes Riley looking at him
"I'm uh checking for tears" says Cyrus
"I believe you" says Riley sarcastically and a smile "No need to hide who you are you know"
Cyrus presses his finger to his lips and a growling sound is heard under him. He motions for Riley to go back until into the dark area. The grate under Cyrus falls and he tumbles with it. Soft thuds are heard until a muffled scream leaves the room. Riley moves back to the grate and jumps into the room.
"Great I'm alone why did I listen to him" Riley says face palming himself, he sees a round thing on the floor "What's this?"
Riley picks it up and opens it. A picture of a smiling family is inside. Riley squints and sees a kid that looks like Joshua. He puts it inside his pocket and runs out the room hoping to run Joshua.
Joshua and James are running towards the winning dorms. Riley keeps an even pace until they crash in front of the door.
"Ow that's smart" says James who rubs his nose
"Riley where's Cyrus?" asked Joshua
"He was kidnapped by whatever stalked everyone else after he told me to hide in the vents but I did find this in the computer lab" Riley says holding up the locket
"And we found these" Joshua holding up the earrings
"I'm not going to do any deals let's just trade and be done with it" Joshua nods and they trade what belongs to each other
A green claw clamps down on Joshua's hand and on James neck; they both let out a yell of fright. Riley puts the earrings in his pocket and starts to pull on Joshua's shoe
"Try kicking it in the kiwis James" huffs Riley as Joshua's shoe slips off
James kicks the monster in the kiwis and it lets out a yelp of pain as a bell rings. Lucas walks down from the hall and grins evilly.
"The challenge is over and Riley wins for having his item on his person" Lucas says
"But I had my pendant on my person" says Joshua until he realizes that the pendant got stuck on the monsters claw "Drat"
"Where is everyone?" asked Joshua
"They were in the boiler room now they're in the loser dorms wake them up" Lucas walks over to the monster and pulls on its head to reveal Jorge with tears streaming down his face
"Mis huevos" Jorge whines as he shuffles away handing Joshua his pendant
*Confessional: Riley*
"This was a challenge should have seen that one coming"
*Confessional: Joshua*
"At least everyone is okay and that I have my treasure back"
*Confessional: James*
"I bet Lucas was laughing himself into a coma"
"Anyway you guys can rest up and Riley you get to choose who get to be shot out of the cannon today" with that Lucas walks away laughing
Wow this one was brutal for a few reason one my charger isn't working for my iPod need to replace that fast and hope I can charge it at home because I type this on it and I found out my other story TDRD: Total Drama Romance Dabbles was taken down without notice, I am not going to whine and flip out but it would have been nice if they gave me warning about it the only reason they took it down is because its content was higher than it was rated and I rated M for obvious reasons, Oh well I'll do that again with clean romances or something or find another site that allows higher ratings other than K and T but idk if I'll go through with it. I'll also say song fail because I wanted to be short so yeah I'll just leave it there.
I hope you guys like this chapter and were nearing closer and closer to the finals I can't wait to see how this goes and who makes it to the end.
Tigerstaysinhiscage I await your choice wonder who it will be
