Total Drama Disaster Island

Episode 2: The Strom

Uri and Cherri had just entered their secret chamber with Chef. Chef looked around and was really impressed with the design. The room was dark, with barley any light showing, except with the screens of various computers that were on a desk. There were a couple of chairs around the desk and the computers. Uri looked on in a sense of pride.

"Well, this is our humble abode. Hope you don't mind the lack of light. I tend to work better in the dark." Uri said in an important type manner.

Cherri looked on in amazement, and turned to Chef to give him some info. "Chris thought both of us would just lie around and do the dirty work for him. But Uri is really smart and great with computers."

Uri went to the multiple screens and started to put in various codes.

"I actually started to develop something before I came here. It's a kind of simulation that looks and feels real, and it can actually affect the other campers. Now, let's say that I programmed a dodge ball to hit um…let's say the girl with the rainbow hair. Instead of going right through her like a simulation would do, it would actually hit her and cause some actual pain."

Chef jaw dropped at the revelation of that. He had never even thought that was even remotely possible, but apparently it was with Uri's new tech that he had.

"I came up with this so we don't even have to do that much manual labor, and we could just simulate the challenge to the area we want to. What's better is that I can actually create various natural disasters and make them feel real. What's even better than that is Chris has no idea about this. So, we can basically create whatever challenge we want." Uri said in an intelligent manner.

"Wait" Chef said in a concerned manner. "Won't Chris realize that the challenges that he had planned aren't the same as the one's you guys had?"

Uri smiled in a calm manner. "Do you honestly think Chris gives a rat's ass about the challenges? All he really cares about are seeing people suffer."

Chef thought about it some more, and knew that Uri was right, and Chris knew he didn't truly care about the campers. All he really cared about was his image. Suddenly, a phone rang. Cherri took her phone out of her pocket and put the call on speaker.

"Hello?"

"This is Chris. I'm taking the vict- I mean campers to the first challenge. Do you guys have everything ready to go?"

"Don't worry" Uri said over Cherri. "We already have everything in place."

"Good, because I don't feel like being embarrassed on live television. My image is everything, and I don't want you guys ruining that. You know what happens when I get embarrassed? A pay cut. So don't screw this up."

"Chris." Uri said pretty quickly. "Do you mind if we create the challenges for you? I mean, we already have so much on you right now, with trying to keep your image up. We can take the pressure off of you, and you can focus on the campers and see how they react to each others."

"Honestly, as long you don't screw up, that's fine by me. I have to go, almost at the challenge."

Chris hung up the phone, and Chef groaned again, hearing Chris blubbering on about how not to ruin his image and so. Uri suddenly started working his keyboard again. He pressed a few buttons.

"Pull up the beach a mile or so from the docks." Uri said in a serious tone.

Cherri grabbed a remote control, and pushed the power button. Suddenly, a TV turned on from behind them, and it showed the sandy beach that was there.

"Now, watch this" Uri said in an excited manner.

Uri pressed one last button. Suddenly, where there was only sand a second ago suddenly began to render various different objects, such as various buoys that were planted vertically about a mile out of the water. There were also various pieces of wood and building materials on the beach, and there were two bases near the mile mark with flags attached to the top part of the base. Cherri screamed out in joy.

"Holy crap that was incredible Uri. You really are a lifesaver." Cherri said.

"Well, I think of you as more of a lifesaver. I mean, you literally have a degree as a doctor." Uri said in a nonchalant manner.

"Uri, you know I have to take at least a couple of years to actually get a real degree. True, I have a bachelor's degree in medicine, but I need a few more years before I become a full fledge doctor." Cherri said.

"Whatever." Uri said.

Chris was right now trying not to get to spunky; as he was leading the campers to their first challenge…OF DOOM! He headed toward the beach where the challenge was to take place, and what he saw something that seemed almost perfect to what he saw. Sure, he didn't realize that Uri and Cherri decided to add the flags at the end of the turn, but that just makes the challenge more difficult. Chris grunted to get the attention of all the campers.

"Welcome to the first challenge campers. Do you like the boat you were in?" Most of the campers nodded except for Fredrick, who just gave him the ugly eye. "Well, now you have build your own. The objective of this challenge is to build your own boat, make your way across the water to grab your team flag, and row back to the beach. The first team to have all its members on the boat and have their flag back to the beach first wins the challenge."

Most of the campers raised their hands, but Chris blew the whistle for them to start. The teams then headed to their area with the various pieces that they had to use. With the Firestorms, Taylor tried to take control of her team.

"Alright you spunk's, I know you guys are a bunch saplings, but I think I should take charge. I'm the only leader you got." Taylor said very in manner.

Most of her team just ignored her and were instead focusing on what Ryan was saying, as he had a large piece of paper out, and seemed to have a design to build a sort of raft.

"Do you guys remember those Norse Viking ships? Well, that's what I'm basing this design from. If we build it just right, we'll be able to get to the flag and back in no time." Ryan said in a very serious tone.

Most of the team looked on in delight, while Taylor was just shocked that no one appeared to be listening to her.

Taylor: "Are you kidding me? Why is no one paying any attention to me? I'm the one who's supposed to lead everyone to glory. I'm the one who's supposed to be the one whose knows what to do in a stressful situation. What the fuck does Ryan have that I don't? That fucker doesn't know who he's messing with. I'll let him lead for now, but when he crumbles, I'll be the one to take over."

Ryan: "Honestly, it feels kind of weird being the leading type. I just studied a lot in class, and I was really intrigued on the Viking ships that I studied, so I just suggested the idea to them. But now that I came up with the idea, all my teammates are making me the de facto leader. Well, everyone except Taylor. I kind of feel like she has a big grudge against me because of me leading the team. I'll just explain to her that I'm not interested leaving after we have completed the challenge."

Meanwhile, most of the Whirlpools were just kind of lying around, with the exception of Rocky, Ethan, and Hope, and Rocky and Ethan were arguing on what to build.

"Look, I just feel like this boat will be too thin. If a wave came up at any time, then the boat will tip, plain and simple." Ethan said in a volatile manner.

"Look dude, I don't think your idea will fly. I mean, I like the way you made it, but the weight might pull us under by the time we get the flag." Rocky said in a calm manner.

Hope looked at both of them, and put an idea in their head. "Why don't you just create a weight that's right in between, so both of you are fine."

They looked at each other, and both shook their heads in agreement. Then they heard something making a beat with their mouth, and turned to see Tawnie, Celeste and Bambi being entertained by EZ, who was beat boxing. Fredrick meanwhile, was actually sitting on a rock just across from them, focused on trying to look away from them. This struck a nerve with Ethan.

"Dude, are you even going to try and contribute?" Ethan in a dark tone.

"And why should I help? I've never had to do any labor, and I don't really need to prove anything." Fredrick said in a mocking tone.

Ethan, trying not to punch him immediately, walked briskly toward Fredrick and grabbed his shirt, Fredrick looking on in shock.

"You are really starting to piss me off. Can you at least do something, and not stand around like a fucking idiot. I swear, if you don't do anything today, you'll be the first to go, end of story, no conversation need, and I swear I'll-"

"Enough" Hope said, pushing the two apart. "Fredrick is a jerk, yes, but he's not the only one not doing anything to help out. You can't just push all of your anger onto one person. Now, can we focus on building this boat?"

After that, Ethan cooled down, and he, Rocky and Hope began working on the boat. A few seconds later, Bambi came to help Hope out.

Ethan: "Do you remember when I said we were a winning team? That's gone down the drain extremely quickly. First, I have a guy who only knows how to make music, I've got three girls who are more focused on their image then trying to win challenges, and I've got a jerk that focuses on himself than trying to win challenges. I'm completely surrounded by idiots."

Fredrick: "Why the hell would he do that? He knows that I'm one of the upper class. The belligerent fool didn't know what he just did. Then again, do you honestly think I want to be the first one go? No. I need to be here longer. Just so I can…no, now's not the time. I need to focus on keeping my safety intact."

Fredrick looked on for a minute, and then decided that he didn't want to go yet, and started grabbing pieces of wood and putting them in the places they wanted.

After about 30 minutes, both of the teams were really close to finishing theirs. Team Firestorms had a Norse like boat that was angled out pretty evenly. Team Whirlpools had a sort of boat that was kind of just a sailing boat, but with a smaller type mast. Both teams were putting the final touches to their boats when a loud bang sounded. This put off the various campers, who didn't know what just happened.

"Oh yeah" Said Chris in a nonchalant manner. "I forgot to tell you guys that there is a Hurricane called Henry coming towards the island as we speak. It will hit in…let's say about five minutes. I really hope your back by then"

Todd: "So he decides to mention the hurricane at this time. Chris really has terrible timing."

Jupiter: "WOO, A STORM IS COMING, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE IN IT! YEAH!"

Tawnie: "Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic."

EZ: "Dang, I was hoping to play during the ride."

Everyone then started to panic, and Tawnie was trying not to curl into a ball. The Firestorms were the first to complete their boat, and the team started pushing their boat off the shore. A few seconds later, The Whirlpools were doing the exact same thing. Both boats were afloat at the same time. For the Firestorms, Ryan and Taylor were paddling in the front, and behind them were Rhett and Todd, James and Ciara, and finally Jupiter and Light. Ryan was talking to his teammates while they rowed as to not go too fast. The Whirlpools were not doing such a thing, and almost all the campers were rowing as fast as they could go. In the front was Rocky and Ethan, followed by Hope and Bambi, Fredrick and Celeste, and Tawnie and EZ. Ethan was yelling at them to row as hard as they could. This seemed to be working, as the Whirlpools pulled ahead of the Firestorms. A few minutes later, the Whirlpools reached their flag, and Tawnie went out and grabbed the flag.

Tawnie: "I can't believe it. I got the flag for my team. We're in the lead. There's no possible way we can lose now."

Then, everything went wrong as Hurricane Henry finally hit, and the high intensity winds and the pouring hard rain hit the campers like bullets. A few seconds after, Jupiter grabbed the flag for her team. Ryan calmly started saying various things on how to ride out the waves, which were moving at a very fast pace and were extremely sporadic. Ethan on the other hand was just yelling at them to keep going. But then, just when the Whirlpools were halfway to the shore, the mast that they had suddenly broke, and it fell down in the center of the ship, and everyone on that boat dodged so that they wouldn't be hit. Ethan tried to keep rowing to get to the end, but clearly they couldn't do anything without a mast. The Firestorms passed the other team, and in about 2 minutes, the Firestorms got to shore, and presented the flag to Chris.

"Well, it seems we have a clear winner here. The Ferocious Firestorms win the challenge."

All the teammates were screaming out loud, even Light was getting into it, and she hugged the person close to her…and it turned out to be Ryan. She staying in a hugging position for a few seconds before she got off of him, and her cheeks had small puffs of red on them.

The Whirlpools had to take the next ten minutes to try and row their boat back to shore, and when they finally did, the boat completely collapse on itself. All the contestants were soaked and were in a terrible mood.

"Whirlpools, it seems that you have lost the challenge…and badly. I'll be seeing all of you at campfire tonight, where one of you will be the first person eliminated." Chris said in a sad tone. "Also, for officially competing on this new season, you get new cabins."

Chris led the way to the cabins, which appeared to be on the other side of the island. The walk took about thirty minutes, and by the time they saw the cabins, everyone was soaked. The campers looked at the cabins, and noticed that there were only two of them.

"Wait, why are their only two cabins?" Todd said in a sort of wondering manner.

"That's because that's where the Firestorms will be sleeping. As for the Whirlpools, you guys will be sleeping up there." Chris said sinisterly.

Everyone looked at the mountain that was in the center of the island, and right behind the cabins, and saw two tiny specs at the top of the mountain, which was about two thousand feet up. The Whirlpools were in complete shock.

"You can't be serious right? We can't get up their!" Ethan said in an angry tone.

"Sorry, you lost the challenge, there's really nothing I can do about that. But, since I'm mostly nice, I'll give you a trail up the mountain so you can get to your cabins. Have fun!" Chris says.

The whirlpools groaned in succession, and all them walked toward the trail. Meanwhile, the Firestorms got to check out their cabins. Ryan was trying to get the attention of Taylor, but she seemed to be completely ignoring him, which he found to be a little rude.

Light, Taylor, Jupiter, and Ciara were the first ones to check out their cabin, and it was a scruffy old cabin that had two pink colored bunk beds that were on opposite sides of each other. There was a lime colored bathroom to the right of them, and it had an overhanging mirror.

"I GOT TOP!" Jupiter screamed out, and took a place on the left side of the top bunk.

"Fine, I guess I'll sleep with miss crazy over here." Says Taylor in a distasteful manner.

Light and Ciara turned to each other. "Do you care which one you get?" Ciara asked.

"Not really. I don't think my choice will really matter." Light said, in a disappointed attitude.

Ciara looked a little concerned, but then shook it off. "Cool, I got dibs on bottom."

All four girls got in their bunks, where they still heard the pouring rain outside.

"So, who do you thinks gone tonight?" Taylor asked, wanting to start a conversation up.

"Who do you think? It's that asshole Fredrick that's going to take the fall. He barely did anything in that challenge, and he's been a jerk to almost anyone." Jupiter said.

All of them nodded their heads in agreement, wanting to see Fredrick go.

Rhett, Ryan, Todd, and James had also entered their cabin, and it was the same design, but the bunk beds were royal blue and the bathroom was a yellow color. Ryan and Rhett shared one bunk bed, With Ryan getting the top, while Todd and James shared the other, with James getting the top. At the moment, they were talking about the challenge that just went down.

"Ryan, you really saved us in that challenge. We probably would have all started panicking if you didn't come through. And your design idea about the Vikings, that was just incredible." James said in an impressed tone.

"Well, it wasn't too much. I just learned most of it from my peers, and it helped that I had good teachers too." Ryan said in a relaxed tone.

The guys were silent for a second, before Todd spoke up. "Do you guys feel like something's up with Ethan?"

Rhett looked down, taking a look away from his camera. "Well, I think he mostly is angry most of the time, but I'm sure he's not too bad to others, right?"

Ryan interjected. "I don't know, but something about him doesn't sit well with me. He just seems like he's hiding something."

"I know what you mean. He seems like he doesn't want to reveal to much too soon." James said in a dark manner.

Meanwhile, the Whirlpools had finally gotten to their cabins. It had taken them about an hour to get to the top, and everybody was ready to hit the hay.

Tawnie, Celeste, Bambi, and Hope entered their cabin, and again it was the same design as the other two, but the bunk beds were white, and the bathroom was red. Hope took the left side top bunk, while Bambi took the bottom, and Tawnie tool the right side top bunk, while Celeste took the bottom. The girls then began started chatting.

"I can't believe it's been 6 hours since I've posted anything. I sure hope the viewers understand." Tawnie said in a sad tone.

"Hey, try not to worry too much. Besides, you have me to talk to, so that's a consolation right." Celeste said in a positive manner.

Bambi on the meanwhile was talking to Hope.

"Hey, you really are a big help. I really appreciate it, and the loss for us would have been much worse if you weren't on this team." Said Bambi.

"It was no problem. I was only doing what I could to provide support to my teammates. Thanks for the comment's anyways. If you need some help, just ask." Hope explained.

Bambi hesitated a bit. "Well, I actually have something to ask you. Um…If you could would you…mind…teaching me some French?"

Bambi blushed at having to ask that question. Hope calmly smiled at Bambi. "Of course I'll help you out. Any reason why French though?"

Bambi looked back and forth in her mind, and then came up with an answer. "Um, I just felt like I might visit France eventually, so I might want to learn the language so I could be alright in the country."

Hope gave her a small smile, and then went and lay her head down on her pillow.

Bambi: "How in the world did I get myself into this? All I wanted to do was to ask her why I felt a sparking sensation in my body, and then I say I'm interested in learning another language. It makes me sound really desperate, and I don't want to sound like that in front of Hope. She seems really strong, and knows how to not crack under pressure. She seems like the person I want to get to know more. Wait, what was I talking about?"

Hope: "I don't know what's up with Bambi, but I sure hope she's alright. It seemed to me that something was wrong since her cheeks were really red when she was talking to me. It could have been that she was really sick or that…no, that couldn't be possible. Probably just a fever."

"I didn't want to mention this now, but who do you think we should get rid of?" Hope said, taking her head off the pillow and pushing herself in a sitting manner on her bunk bed.

"Well Fredrick should go. He was a jerk to almost all of us, and he really didn't contribute that much." Celeste said.

"Sure, Fredrick is a jerk, but I don't entirely trust Ethan. He tried to be really controlling of the situation, but he only made it worse. I think he should go." Tawnie stated.

Bambi didn't know who to vote for, as she felt very uncomfortable voting for someone.

A few minutes before, Rocky, Ethan, EZ, and Fredrick had just gotten into their room. The design was the same, but the bunk beds were purple, and the bathroom was brown. EZ took the bottom bunk on the left side, while Fredrick took the top bunk. Rocky took the top bunk on the right side while Ethan took the bottom bunk. Ethan was looking down on himself, taking the loss personally.

"Dude, hey, it's not really a big deal. We lost, so what? We'll get them next time." Rocky said in a relaxed manner.

"You don't get it. We lost, and we had the lead. There's just something wrong about that. We had all momentum on our side, and then suddenly our mast breaks and we can't do anything." Ethan said beating himself up some more.

"Ethan, you need to understand that you have to loss first before-"Rocky started.

"You don't think I know that! Look, I just want to get this vote over with and focus on getting to the next challenge."

Fredrick wasn't paying any attention until he heard about the ship immediately slowing down when the mast fell. That caught him off guard.

"Wait, you guys didn't notice?" Fredrick said.

"Notice what jerk wad." Ethan snidely said.

"The boat had slowed down even before the mast fell." Fredrick stated.

"So how the fuck is that possible? Everyone was rowing the boat, so there was no way the boat had slowed down before the mast fell."

EZ, not really hearing the conversation, tried to start one himself.

"You know, when I got on the boat, I wanted to row quite a bit, but I stopped after a while to conserve my energy. I didn't want to bust up my guitar anyway, it means way too much to me. You guys understand, right?"

This revelation made Fredrick, Rocky, and Ethan stare at EZ like he was joking. But when he still had a soft smile on his face, they realized that no, he wasn't joking, and that he hadn't helped row the bow or even try to contribute to the team.

Ethan: "That guy is done for!"

That was when the guys all realized what they had to do. Ethan went to Celeste, Rocky went to Bambi, and Fredrick went to Hope, to explain the situation.

It was finally dark when the Whirlpools arrived at the campfire. It had taken them extra long to get there since their cabins were on the mountains. Worst of all it was still pouring rain, so all of them were still completely soaked. The campers sat down on the metal chairs, with Fredrick almost slipping off his, and looked at Chris, who had a tray of marshmallows.

"Welcome, Whirlpools, to your first campfire ceremony. I have seven marshmallows here. If you do not receive a marshmallow, you will have to walk the dock of shame, and you are to never to return to the island. EVER! Okay, the first person safe is…Rocky."

Rocky looked stoked and got up and grabbed his marshmallow.

"Hope, you are safe."

Hope got up and bowed her head in thanks, and went to the tray to grab her marshmallow. She sat down in relief.

"Celeste, Tawnie, you two are also safe."

Both girls squealed in delight. Both got up and grabbed their marshmallow.

"Ethan, I can also say that you have received a marshmallow tonight."

Ethan sighed in relief, and sat up and slowly got his marshmallow.

Bambi, EZ and Fredrick looked at each other with some nervous glances.

"Bambi, you are also safe."

Bambi was really happy, and quickly ran up and grabbed the marshmallow out of Chris' hand.

Now, only Fredrick and EZ were left. EZ seemed really calm, while Fredrick was sweating bullets. Fredrick didn't know if Ethan and Rocky went ahead with the plan, or if he was going anyway. EZ was totally calm, not in the least bit worried that his teammates would eliminate him this early.

"And now, were down to Fredrick and EZ. Fredrick, you are a total asshole, and probably deserve to go first, but at least you did something in the challenge. EZ, you are a nice and chill contestant, who did not do anything in the challenge. Which one of you will be safe? The last marshmallow goes to…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…Fredrick."

Fredrick pulled his breath in, and grabbed his marshmallow quickly and sat back down quickly.

EZ looked really disappointed, but hey, at least he got here.

"Yo, sorry you were the first to go. I kind of remember you, but I don't think I would really care if I would have gotten to know you better. Now, on the boat you go.

EZ walked slowly onto the dock, and then got on the boat. He waved goodbye to his teammates, and sat on the boat to go to who knows where. But, EZ could have sworn that he didn't see a captain on board.

Fredrick knew he got really lucky, and knew that he had to control what he said, or else he would be gone right after EZ. The journey back to the cabins was not fun, as they were still wet, and they were exhausted. Finally, after three hours of nonstop walking, with the one hour and thirty minutes of walking up the trail to the mountain top. They finally reached the cabins, turned out the lights when they got inside, went to their beds, and passed out after that, with the rain still sounding thunderous against the cabin roof.

Votes:

Ethan: Look, I was originally going to vote for someone else, since he was a complete jerk and didn't want to help his team. But, I guess what I said hit a cord with him and he contributed actually to help the team out. The same can't be said for EZ. He was only focused on playing his guitar, beat boxing, and conserving his energy. In these sorts of physical challenges, you can't conserve your energy. You need to give it your all. I'm sorry man, but I vote to get rid of EZ.

Celeste: Well, I don't think the choice is that hard right? There was only one person that didn't do anything in the challenge. Even though I want to get rid of a certain jerk, I want to get rid of EZ more.

Rocky: Hey, I know this is going to suck, but EZ needs to go. Not doing anything is not a good way to keep you in the game that long.

Tawnie: Well, I think Fredrick should go. Even though I don't entirely trust Ethan, Fredrick was the only one who was extremely rude to everyone here. He doesn't deserve to stay.

EZ: Man, I didn't know that voting for someone would be this hard. Well, if I would have to vote for someone that I would vote out, I guess that would be Bambi. All I saw her do was row a little bit, and she seems like the weak link of the group.

Hope: Well, if what Fredrick told me was right, we are voting for EZ. If he goes, I think it will help our chances a bit more. I know that Fredrick is rude, but I feel like he has a reason for being here, and in his eyes he wasn't ready to leave yet. Besides, just playing music and rapping a lot isn't going to help the team in the long term.

Fredrick: I don't want to go yet. I want to stay here as long as I can. So, in order to save myself, I'm going to have to vote for EZ.

Bambi: EZ, I know you probably won't be able to see this until much later, but I'm going to have to vote you off. You were great musically, but if you weren't going to help us in challenges, it was only going to hurt us more than help us.

Alright, that was the first elimination that had just occurred. I apologize to the user whose camper got eliminated first, but I just felt like the lazy personality for EZ wasn't really going to help much in a natural disaster type show. Also, I really couldn't fit EZ anywhere into the plot that I have. With the whirlpools down a member, can they come back to claim a victory? Will the Firestorms win another challenge? How did you feel about EZ? I will see you guys soon!
