Hoo boy, been a while, huh? Yeah, the holidays were kinda a hassle, and soon the new year started with some false panic. A week later, I got really, really ill. But all of that has passed, so let's get this chapter rolling!


Chris is grinning at the camera.

"Welcome back to Dictionary! In case you've just joined us, we sent our campers on a little scavenger hunt for specific artifacts from video games and certain weeb material!" Chris announced. "But, how are they doing at the moment? Let's take a peek and find out..."

He then looked over at Maggie.

"Mags! You got the 'You Know What' ready?" Chris asked.

Maggie grinned, as she spun a chair around from a console she was sitting at. "Yep… This is gonna be really brutal to the campers. MWAHAHAHAHA! And don't call me Mags."

"Awwww, I think Mags sounds more cuter..." Dana teased, as she poked on Maggie's cheek, much to Maggie's annoyance.


Tough Turtles


The nine team members were walking together, as they were crossing an open field. Currently holding the radar was Alec, as he was leading the way.

"Fear not, everybody! For with the powers of my brains, and with SCIENCE on our side… We shall find these Crystal Stars!" Alec announced, as he looked at Isaac. "Test subject! What do you know about these... Crystal Stars?"

Isaac shrugged. "I don't play many video games that's outta my genre too much..."

"Which is..." Alec asked.

Isaac then looked at Nerdi, who was also walking by his side.

"How about you, Nerdi? You're the nerdiest of us all here, and you often play emulated games..." Isaac stated.

Nerdi, in an instant, jumped onto Isaac's shoulders and held his mouth shut.

"Psst. Ex-nay on the Emulation Games-nay." Nerdi whispered to Isaac, before she hopped back onto the ground and sported a grin. "Anyways… These Crystal Stars were collectibles in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. They were used to seal away the Shadow Queen from ruling the world, and possibly beyond, with an iron fist. However, the seal would only last a thousand years and when that time was up, she would break free from her spell. While she did awaken, Mario put a stop to that, ending her permanently, meow. And that was just the short version..."

"Right… Should I know the long version?" Alec asked.

With the rest of the team, they were following behind the trio in front of them.

"With a name like the Crystal Stars… You think they would make for some great accessories?" Selena asked out loud. "Like, I think they would make for a great necklace. Most of your necks are kind of… barren."

She looked at Yuki.

"How about you, Yuki? Surely you must want something flashy to show off to everyone?" Selena offered.

Yuki shook her head. "Nah, I needn't something like that, bud. Besides, I'm not that big on accessories anyway."

"Then what about those sweatbands on your wrists?" Selena asked, pointing at Yuki's sweatbands.

"Oh, these things? Well, I just think they would fit well for me." Yuki answered back. "Besides, what do you take me for; someone who was inspired by someone from some Sims spinoff game? Hahaha!"

With Maxwell, Quinn, Vikki, and Omelette, they were also walking nearby.

"Hehehe… Be glad some of those things aren't real. If they were… We be doomed. Hehe..." Quinn chuckled out loud.

"Dude, I highly doubt someone on the Squids would suddenly turn Super Sayan and Spirit Bomb us. Or someone on the Flounders would grant a wish using the seven Dragon Balls." Maxwell said towards Quinn. "Well… Gabriella might. But I think even Shenron would deny her wish."

"So, considering those things were real and we were trying to find them… What would you dudes wish for?" Omelette asked.

"Hehe… For total peace. The way things are going… We'll all be dead within this century. Perhaps even this decade. Hehe..." Quinn answered back.

"Okay… Dark, but okay. You should lighten up a lot, man." Omelette suggested.

"As for my wish? Well… My older sis is wanting to open up a cosplay cafe. Maybe I can wish for her dreams to come true? Yeah, that be awesome." Maxwell said out loud, smiling. "She helped me out since I was super young, I should do something back for her."

"Awww, that's super sweet of you!" Vikki cooed. "But don't you want anything personal? Like, someone's love? Wanting to bring a loved one back from the dead?"

Maxwell, upon hearing that, looked down at the ground in silence. Vikki realized that, as she frowned in response.

"Ohh… Sorry, I didn't know." Vikki uttered.

Maxwell looked at the clown with a kind smile on his face.. "It's alright, not your fault. You didn't even know."

"As for my wish?" Omelette said out loud. "...Nope! Not telling!"

"Let me guess… Would it involve butts in a way?" Vikki guessed, giggling.

Omelette's eyes went wide behind her shades. "Wait a tick. How'd you know?!"

The two girls shared a laugh, as Ulysses trailed behind them.

"Such fools. One by one, I shall take all of you down." Ulysses said to himself.

A soft beeping sound was heard from his pockets, as he took out a device, resembling a smartphone.

"Master… Shall I ruin their day?" A voice spoke from the device asked.

"No… At least, not yet." Ulysses assured back. "We just need to find the perfect vessel..."


Confessional: You'll take them downtown?

Ulysses: Yes… All that prize money shall be going into my robotics plan. To do that, I gotta take down all of these annoying weaklings. And my… Special Program... Shall help me with that.

Omelette: How? Is it cause I snuck a peek at Selena's posterior?


Soon enough, a loud, deafening roar was heard, alarming the entire team.

"The heck was that?" Selena asked out loud.

"Um, guys?" Yuki spoke up, as she pointed in the distance.

Everyone turned around to see something resembling a dragon was flying in the sky, and was headed straight for the campers.

"...Crap." Selena cursed out loud, as she looked around the field. Noticing a large rock, she quickly grabbed up Yuki, as the both of them dove behind a rock.

The rest of the campers followed suit, as the rather large dragon flew overhead.

"Quick question. Has any of us ever slayed a dragon before?" Ulysses asked out loud.

Maxwell rose his hand. "Just this one time, when my big sis was playing Dark Souls and she had to take a leak."

"That's… Probably TMI, hon." Yuki stated.

"Hehe, a dragon that huge? It'll engulf us until we eventually fall into its stomach acid, where our flesh will dissolve to the bone." Quinn chuckled nervously. "Or we're also liable to be burned into an ashy pile of nothing but ash. It's true, happened to a guy I once knew who had a clown girl and a punk girl for imaginary friends. Hehe, whatever the case, we're doomed."

"Yeah, that's really reassuring." Selena muttered.

Ulysses, meanwhile, gave off a grin, unknown to the other campers. "...Perfect."

The dragon roared again, as Alec's radar was going off like crazy. The mad scientist looked at the radar, and gave off a little chuckle.

A small, white dot was moving around on the radar.

"You know, perhaps we should save that Crystal Star for last. Think up a plan of attack..." Alec said out loud.

"Yeah, probably wise." Maxwell agreement. "Like, I only faced off against a virtual dragon one time. I don't think we're up against the real deal."

Isaac tapped on Alec's shoulder. "Um, about last night… Maybe I can-"

Alec held up his hand. "Outta the question. That potion is still in the testing phases, and… Well, SCIENCE is really unpredictable. What if it does the opposite effect and shrinks you, instead?"

Isaac sighed. "Yeah, you're right… That, and what if the other team saw some 50 foot tall, Snuggie wearing teenager walking about?"

"Then, guess we're hunting for the other six Crystal Stars first-off." Ulysses said out loud. "Alec? Have any clue on where one of them is?"

Alec looked at his radar again. "Well… There is a blip going off west of here. Though with Puff the Magic Dragon flying above our noggins… We may need a distraction while another one of us grabs that star."

"I'll do it!" Yuki volunteered, as she started to run out.

But Selena pulled Yuki back in, as she shook her head. "No can do, Yuki. This is, like, a dragon. A huge winged dinosaur beast..."

"Awwwww, and I spent the last five minutes before the challenge painting the word 'PREY' on my stomach with blue body paint!" Yuki complained, as she lifted up her shirt, revealing her stomach. It indeed had the word PREY drawn upon it.

Omelette giggled a bit, as Vikki looked at the paint job in question. "I have to admit, that is pretty good penmanship." Vikki praised back towards Yuki.

Omelette looked up at the sky, as she fiddled with her hat.

"Ya know? My aunt Sabrina would be disappointed if I didn't take chances and got a bit messy out here on some reality show. I shall play the bait role!" Omelette said, volunteering.

"And I can grab the star, right?" Yuki asked.

"Oh, sure!" Omelette answered back.

"But… What about?" Selena asked, pointing up. "You know, our uninvited guest?"

"Oh, I'll be fine, hon!" Yuki reassured back. "I can guarantee it!"

"Alrighty, then! Yuki? I'll run out first, distract that bad butt up there, while you run over to where that star could be. Okay?" Omelette said towards the young artist.

"Alright! Let's do this!" Yuki answered back, grinning.

Omelette stepped out from behind the rock, as she whistled, trying to get the dragon's attention.

"Hey! Up there! Whoever you are!" Omelette shouted out loud, as the giant airborne creature turned around and started to make a beeline towards Omelette.

Omelette, in turn, turned around and poked at her butt.

"Fresh and tender! Just the way you like it!" Omelette announced. "Although, you gotta catch me first! WOOOOOO!"

The dragon soon landed, as Omelette got a closer look at it. It resembled your standard dragon from stories taking place in Medieval times.

"Let's see here… Hmm… Oh, I got it!" The dragon spoke out loud. "Who dares step out into the open on my land? Why, my next meal! That's who!"

Omelette looked all over herself. "Um, I highly doubt I would taste that good. At least, without mayo. Who doesn't like melted egg spread?"

The dragon continued to look at Omelette. "You, my good gal, got some good taste. Shame I gotta eat ya. MWAHAHAHAHA!"

Omelette blinked a bit. "...Is that you, Maggie?"

The dragon took a glare at Omelette. "I… How'd you know about my disguise for this challenge?"

"Well, who else would laugh maniacally?" Omelette answered back, giving off a shrug.

"But… We met an hour ago!" The dragon yelled back.

"Hey, Omelette!" Yuki shouted from afar, all while holding an emerald colored star. "I already grabbed up the star! We can be back for that oversized Salamence later!"

"Right!" Omelette yelled back, before turning back towards the dragon. "Look, I've got an appointment elsewhere… So you'll have to wait for this fast food. See ya!"

Omelette was about to run back towards her group, as a surge of electricity surged through the dragon's body. It soon gave off a glare at Omelette with glowing, piercing red eyes.

"Hey! Did I say you could run?!" The dragon yelled out loud, obviously not in Maggie's voice.

"Um… Maggie? You feelin' alright?" Omelette asked.

"Maggie? Who is this Maggie? Just someone who is a rival to my master!" The dragon sneered back. "Now, hold still and let me chomp you to bits! Don't budge… This won't hurt for too long."

The dragon started to approach Omelette, exposing its razor sharp teeth, as Omelette sprinted off. The dragon soon roared, as it lifted itself off the ground, beginning to give chase.

The other contestants could only watch the chaos ensue.

"Dudes, we gotta help her, meow!" Nerdi spoke up. "You know, bring the catti-tude towards that overgrown lizard!"

"Yeah, before she gets fried or decapitated!" Maxwell agreed.

Soon, a ringing noise came from within Vikki. She pulled out a phone and pressed down upon it.

"Yo, it's Omelette! Look, don't worry about me; just keep on trying to find those stars." Omelette ordered. "Don't sweat it; I'll be fine. It's just some dragon, I mean… How harsh can they get?"

A woosh sound was heard from the phone.

"Yipes! Gotta go; this dragon is being more of a dragon than usual! Catch ya later, if I'm not barbecued!" Omelette said, as she ended the call.

"Well, you heard her; let's grab the other stars first-off. Then we can find her, and take her down." Selena said, sporting a smile. "Let's get going!"

The other teammates nodded, as they started to follow Selena. But Vikki was in some thought.


Confessional: Guess they'll rock the dragon some other day…

Selena: And if Omelette does get medivaked? Ah, well. She would had been an obstacle towards me winning the game anyway. I'm here to put an end to nerdom and geekdom. And she? Major geek.

Vikki: I could had done something; like, that dragon just wouldn't turn against us without reason.


Meanwhile, back at the control panel, Maggie was pressing several buttons. A mocking buzzer sound was heard.

"What, denied?!" Maggie shouted out loud in anger. "No form of tech is strong enough for this girl to crack open! How'd you think I took down Thanatos the Thrasher? Simply by just chopping it to bits? Nope!"

"What's going on, Mags?" Dana asked the robotics expert.

"Control for my awesome and badass dragon got taken away from me by some sorta kawaii virus." Maggie explained back, as the two looked at a nearby monitor. "See? It's sticking its tongue out at me."

Dana looked at the monitor, and indeed, an anime-ish girl was indeed mocking the two.

"Geez, cuteness must be more powerful than I once thought..." Dana said out loud. "No wonder I barely lost against a Jigglypuff main at that Smash Tourney one time."

"You never saw the fights I partaken in, did ya?" Maggie asked back. "Still… If my dragon could get easily hacked… I dread to think what could happen if it suddenly took ahold of Project Zavi."

"Project Wha-ta?" Dana asked, as she scratched her head.

Maggie stared at Dana. "Girl… You don't know what may be my most AWESOME invention yet?!"

"No, not really." Dana answered back. "What is it, anyway?"

Maggie grinned. "Oh, it's something I been wanting to make ever since I was a young girl… And when it's finished, oh boy… It's gonna be WICKED!"

Her grin dropped. "But what isn't wicked is if this virus manages to hack into Project Zavi before it's even done!"

"So, what should we even do?" Dana asked.

"Well… First off, my dragon? It has to be shut down, so I can reboot it. Second off, we have to grab a sample of said virus so I can analyze it." Maggie explained. "Think you're up to that?"

Dana saluted. "You got it, Mags! Besides, it's been weeks since I slayed a dragon! Be back soon!"

She ran off, and started up her Gator, as Maggie glared back.

"And don't call me Mags!"


Screaming Squids


Meanwhile, the members on the Squids were walking in the forest. Ross was leading the way, holding the radar and looking down upon it.

"Okay, if I was a Chaos Emerald out there in the wild… Where would I hide..." Ross said to himself, as Luka approached him.

"Maybe we should perhaps try a bonus round?" Luka suggested. "It's where they were in the actual games."

"Perhaps, but where would we find some out of place portal that transports us to a bonus round?" Ross asked back. "And I didn't think you knew about Sonic; I'm starting to think someone body-swapped both you and Tina and we didn't' know about it until now."

Luka chuckled. "My friend back at home, Pat? Yeah, her younger sister's a bit of a gamer herself. But even then, the Sonic series isn't exactly her thing."

"Then, what is?" Ross asked back.

"Animal Crossing. Yeah, she just adores her furry buddies. And perhaps someday, we may make her into a Paw herself." Luka answered back, smiling.

"A Paw?" Ross questioned.

"Ah, right. We recently met just yesterday, heh. Anyways, us Paws, also known as the Peaceful Paws, kinda protect God's additional gift to us all; cute and furry animals." Luka explained. "No, we are not like PETA at all, F those doofuses. We usually dogsit or catsit neighbor's pets, save pets from abusive owners, help relocate animals to other homes if theirs is about to be demolished… We even helped stop an illegal cock fighting ring."

"That's like, chickens fighting. Isn't it?" Ross asked.

Luka frowned as she nodded. "While we did stop them, some of the birds were too aggressive to be put back into normal society. Or to be used as guard roosters for various farming communities… Still..."

Luka smiled again.

"At least we did make a difference. One of the roosters is basically our mascot at my high school." Luka continued. "And we do more than protect animals; we also prevent bullying as much as we can. Never underestimate us punk girls; we can be tough if it comes to it."

"Yeah, totally." Ross agreed back, smiling before he looked back at his radar.

Meanwhile, both Peter and Tina were walking together, the two of them talking to each other.

"So, what would be your fave series?" Peter asked, smirking. "I already know it's gonna be something from Nintendo, so just lay it out on me."

"Well, when you put it that way… It's Pokemon." Tina answered back. "Like, how can someone NOT love those cute creatures? Well, aside of ones who pretend the Mons above 152 and above don't exist, religious freaks who think the series is Satanic, and some other peeps… Though I am disappointed at some of the fandom for the outrage that happened at a particular E3… Why do you think I wore this Mario shirt to the island, instead?"

"Wow, hardcore. What happened?" Peter asked.

"It… be best to not say anything. Don't wanna open up a new can of worms." Tina silently answered back. "I still adore the series, but the fandom? Now… I only share my thoughts to those who I can truly trust."

"Damn..." Peter said, blinking.

"Anyways, how about you?" Tina asked. "Surely, you must have some FPS series out there that you adore so much. Why else would you have a crosshair on your shirt?"

"Well… It has to be Counter-Strike. They always find some way to spice things up every game." Peter answered back. "Call Of Duty? Well, it's usually the same game, only with different guns and terrorists wanting to start World War 3… Every. Single. Game. Like… Dudes, get a different hobby."

"Yeah." Tina agreed.

"Anyways, with these babies completely healed up..." Peter said, as he held up his thumbs. "You can bet that I'm gonna cream yer ass tonight."

"Not if I cream yours, first!" Tina responded back.

With Xane, he was also following his team, all while he was clutching his tulip tight.

"Hoooooo, look at the beautiful scenery, dearie!" Xane said to his tulip. "Isn't it wonderful?"

"Yeah, it's as wonderful as a train wreck." Danny snarked out loud. "It can't hear you, genius!"

"Hooo, it can, too~!" Xane sung out loud. "And she? She just called you… Well, I ain't repeating it, cause it's really naughty. That, and we've got a kid present."

He looked over at Hannah, who was walking nearby, all while juggling some rather heavy rocks rather easily.

"Hey, ain't nothing I ever heard before." Hannah chuckled back.

"Anyways, why flowers? Why choose something that's more exciting, like wrestling, or boxing?" Danny asked. "Can you even fight? I bet you can't even fight, what with how much of a pussy you are."

Xane said nothing, as he noticed what was an ancient outhouse. Saying nothing, he gave his tulip over to Hannah, went over to the outhouse, and let out a punch, as the entire outhouse collapsed upon itself.

Danny's mouth was agape as he noticed what was left of said outhouse.

"Dude..." Danny muttered.

"Any other questions?" Xane asked back, as…

"Awwwwww! And I was in the middle of one wicked Confession!" Whitney's voice said from the rubble, as she was digging herself out.

Xane blinked. "Hoooo, that was a Confessional? Dang."

"Now what should we do if we want to share our deepest and darkest secrets?" Whitney asked.


Confessional: Wow, geez… Way to wreck my half-brother, Xane.

Xane: (The camera is pointing at his feet) I gotta apologize for Whitney. I didn't even think she was actually doing a Confessional… You got this, Danny?

Danny: (From offscreen) Hey, why don't you try holding a camera that's attached to a door someday, mister I'm Gonna Wreck It?!


Pretty soon, the team soon came across a clearing, where what appeared to be a blue emerald laid.

"Bingo!" Whitney yelled out, gleefully. "That's one emerald down! This challenge shall be over in no time!"

She began to run towards it, rather happily, as someone realized something.

"Umm, Whitney? I don't think that smells quite right." Tina warned.

"Dudes, it's only some silly gem. It probably smells like… Well, rocks. Just your standard rocks you could find underneath the dirt." Whitney replied back.

"It's not that, and… Why would you be sniffing rocks, anyway?" Tina asked.

"Hey, it helps to know what a rock would smell like. There are many a fake out there, made by some guys who want to make a quick buck." Whitney answered back, as she stepped closer to the emerald.

All of a sudden, she was jetted upward, as she found herself trapped in a net.

"Tried to warn you." Tina said out loud.

Whitney noticed the emerald was inside the net with her, and sniffed the emerald.

"Dude… Really?" Tina asked, as the rest of the team approached the two.

"Yep, this one's a fake." Whitney said back. "It doesn't smell all that blue-ish."

"And how do you know what blue smells like?" Danny asked. "Have you been sniffing that hot punk chick's hair while she slept?"

"Danny!" Luka scolded, as she slapped Danny on the back of his head.

"Hey, that only happened one time, smartie!" Whitney yelled back, before she twiddled her thumbs. "...My cousin wanted me to sniff on a plushie from the Strawberry Shortcake series.

"Hooo, we still gotta get her down." Xane pointed out. "She is still a part of our team, even if she does dress… Well, out there."

Zero, saying nothing, took out a knife, and aimed it at the rope entrapping Whitney. Throwing the knife, it cut through the rope, releasing the injury prone girl and sending her hurdling towards the ground, with her clutching the Emerald in the process.

"Whooo… Talk about a drop." A dazed Whitney said out loud, as both Tina and Luka helped her up.

"I hope that was a learning experience for you, Whitney." Tina said, patting Whitney on her shoulder.

"Totally learned; never fall for second rate scout traps. From now on, it's third rate traps or nothing." Whitney responded back, as she shook her head quickly. "But hey, we've got ourselves an Emerald. Woo, we're halfway there!"

"We only got one Emerald, genius!" Danny shouted out.

"Anyways, who pulled off that Robin Hood trick?" Whitney asked. "Cause, man… That drop came, like, fast!"

Everyone looked at Zero, who just simply looked back.

"What? She was trapped in a net. You guys would the same. Or not, like I would care." Zero sneered back.

"Awwww, our edgelord has a heart, after all." teased Ross.

"Hey. Shut up." Zero responded back, silencing Ross.

"Anyways, we've got six more Emeralds to hunt… Hopefully they're not trapped." Luka said out loud.

"Or maybe they are? We already have a way to disarm them." Danny added, sporting a smirk at Whitney.

Whitney groaned. "Geez, get caught in one newbie trap which you learn in Girl Scouts, and suddenly you're branded for life."


Confessional: Wait, when was Whitney a scout?

Whitney: Yeeeaahh, I was once a Girl Scout, but I was kinda kicked out for my own safety. (She points at a random scar on her leg.) Wonder how I got this gash on my leg? Well… Bear cubs can be as tough as their parents, that I can attest to. (She chuckles.)


Funky Flounders


As for the third team, they were somewhere in the forest, as Candace was leading the way, holding the radar and looking down at it periodically. Nancy was walking alongside her, as she was chatting along as well.

"So, any bleeps or blips on our radar?" Nancy asked.

"Nada." Candace answered back, as she shook her head. "This isn't like the 'Cartoon Submarine' back in the 90's."

Nancy raised an eyebrow. "Umm, we weren't even born then; how did you-"

"Babysitter showed me some of the toons she grew up with, from a block titled the 'Cartoon Submarine'. With the host of it being this goofy Navy commander guy." Candace explained. "Man, so many awesome toons were shown on there..."

"Heh, you're one dedicated gal to stick to toons after all these years." Nancy said, sporting a smirk. "As for me? I stopped watching cartoons when they all became about friendship and twerking. And when those pansy Karens said 'NO OUTLANDISH CHARACTERS, YOU'LL SCAR MY PRECIOUS KIDS!'. No wonder we don't see someone awesome looking like Sissy from Johnny Test anymore."

"You… Actually watched that?" Candace asked.

"Hey, she was a skater girl, she was awesome." Nancy answered back.

"Is that how'd you get into skating and stuff?" Candace continued to question.

"Heh, you're getting a bit into 21 questions, huh? Anyways..." Nancy answered back, as she gave off a smirk. "I was walking with my 'rents one day, and I saw some kids out there, skating. I asked if I could watch, and we did for a few minutes. I would pass by them every day, and they would still be out there, skating. Eventually, they invited me into their fold, taught me the tricks of the trade, and here I am today."

"Cool." Candace said, giving off a smile. "I don't think I can be that good of a skater, or even that cool; I'm just some skinny rail who watches cartoons with their psuedo little sis every day."

"Hey, you have some coolness within you; it's just waiting to be unleashed." Nancy responded back.

"Yoooooo, bitches! Yer main boi Jonah is here, on his second challenge!" Jonah spoke out loud, interrupting the two females.

"Speaking of uncool..." Nancy grumbled, as she turned towards Jonah. "Do you mind?! Or are you wanting our neighbors to the south to be blacklisted from entering Antarctica, or whatever country you didn't piss off yet?"

"Hey, even penguins can't resist the glory that is… Jonah!" Jonah answered back, as he did a pose, as the winds whispered his name.

...Jonah…

"Candace? That wind thing normal?" Nancy whispered towards Candace.

"Probably? I dunno." Candace answered back.

With Ethan and Kayley, they were walking together, and chatting as well.

"So, is it true that when you got your nose pierced, they placed a small dot on your nose, then they jammed a needle into it with something resembling a pair of pliers?" Ethan asked Kayley.

Kayley chuckled. "Correctamundo, Goofball. And on my twelfth birthday as well."

"Whoa, so young. Fern got hers done around thirteen." Ethan responded back. "Heck, she even shaved some of her hair off around the age of fourteen and dyed what was left of it a bright green."

"You two must be really tight, huh?" Kayley asked.

Ethan nodded. "Yep! She basically took care of me when my mom and dad were both at work. She's just the coolest, and I hope to some day, be as cool as her! If not even cooler..."

"Well… My cousin's spouse did do my piercings and my tattoos. Maybe when you're older, I can ask-" Kayley began to offer as Ethan shook his head.

"Nah, I'm good. I rather not have my body punctured for punk purposes. I would rather be cool just by being myself." Ethan denied back, smiling.

"Still just as good." Kayley smiled back, as she ruffled Ethan's hair. "I just know you're gonna be one cool dude."

"Guys!" Candace shouted out loud, as she directed the team towards what appeared to be the entrance of a cave. She held up her radar, which was beeping rather erratically. "Something may be in that cave!"

"Yeah, like rocks and other rocks. And bats. And bears." Jonah spoke up. "And those rocky formations which are all pointy and wet."

"You mean stalagmites?" Ethan asked back.

"Whatever; who do you think I am, some geeky geologist? I'm an Internet star, baby!" Jonah answered back, as he posed, with a sudden gust of wind moving his hair and whispering his name…

...Only for the whispers of his name to be interrupted by the sounds of some growling coming somewhere from nearby.

"Jonah… PLEASE tell us that was just one of your pranks." Nancy begged out loud.

"Pfft, I wish." Jonah responded back. "Though that would make for some really great views when I get back to video making..."

"Which could probably get you banned from the state of Delaware." Ethan pointed out.

Candace took one look at the cave, and shrugged.

"Okay, maybe I should check inside the cave, and see what the deal is. Wish I had a pic-a-nic basket on hand for me to offer to it." Candace joked, as she entered the cave.

The entire team stood there, awaiting for Candace's return…

"Soooo… This is rather boring. Anyone up for a game of Charades?" Kayley asked out loud, all of a sudden. "I can start! This is a movie title, two words."

"SHIT!"

Candace soon came running out of the cave, looking all panicked.

"Guys? There IS a bear in there! And NOT the Yogi kind!" Candace shouted out loud in panic. alarming most of the other contestants, except one.

"Bitchin'!" Jonah grinned with glee. "I've always wanted a bear skin rug! Perhaps I can punch it to death."

Jonah began to enter the cave, as Ethan cleared his throat, stopping Jonah.

"Um, that would be a bear-y bad thing to do." Ethan warned. "I once knew this guy named Michael, he once tried to troll a bear one time… Never saw him again. Then again, he wasn't right in the head anyway."

Gabriella, looking at the entrance of the cave, had different plans in store.

"Servant! I want a bear skin rug! NOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!" Gabriella whined to Frankie. "Go get it for me!"

Frankie's eyes went wide. "...What?"

"WHAT?!" Kayley shouted out loud, as she gave off a glare at Gabriella. "NO! Have you flipped your lid?! Have you even heard what Ethan said to Jonah?!"

"Yeah, and don't you already have tons of them back at your fancy-ass mansion, which your dad probably shot?!" Nancy shouted at Gabriella.

Gabriella gave off a glare towards Nancy. "Whatever, you poor white-trash girl. My servant is getting me a bear skin rug, or… I… WILL… SCR-"

Candace quickly put her hand over Gabriella's mouth, as she gave the spoiled brat a death glare.

"Yes, and we WILL scream all right. Scream in fear and possibly pain, if you wake up that bear..." Candace warned Gabriella, as she released her grip.

Gabriella still gave off a silent glare towards Frankie, as she motioned for him to enter the cave.

Frankie, upon seeing he had no chance to protest against such a dangerous act, started to enter the cave.

Bob looked at the cave, and nodded to himself.

"You know what? He could use some help. If to help some spoiled BRAT shut up." Bob said out loud, with emphasis on the word 'brat' as he glared at Gabriella.

He started to enter the cave, as Kayley pulled him back a bit.

"Bob? Before you enter… Here, take this." Kayley said, as she placed a light black bag upon Bob's hand.

Bob squished the bag a little. "A bag of sand?"

"It's actually a special dust I use for my magick spells." Kayley explained. "I… didn't want any harm to come to the bear, but Frankie would get torn to shreds. And since you two are so tight..."

Bob looked at Kayley, and gave off a smile. "I won't let you down. I'll bring him back. Besides..."

He took out Frankie's modded-up sock puppet.

"I have something to give him, and now is the perfect time."

Bob soon entered the cave, nervously but ready to help out his friend.


Confessional: Going up against bears? That is late pre-merge stuff…

Bob: Am I scared? What do you think? This is an actual, factual BEAR. This ain't like Monokuma, who can execute you. Or like Teddie, who can use the power of tarot cards to rip a new hole in you. Or like Banjo, whose birdie gun can fire in spirts and if it shoots you, it's gonna hurt… Gee, bears are strong and scary, even in video games.

Jonah: Wait, that shrimp is going to take on a bear? (He grins) Hell yeah! Now that's some quality entertainment!


Meanwhile, Frankie was in the dimly lit cave, as he held out a flashlight to provide a little more light.

"Okay… Just grab this Dragon Ball or whatever it is, and then get lost..." Frankie said to himself. "After all, that bear can't be that bad… Can it?"

He was about to take a few more steps forward, as he saw a bright light shine from behind him.

Frankie jumped a bit, before turning around to see Bob behind him, with Bob using the flashlight option on his phone.

"Hey, Frankie..." Bob said out loud. "Thought you could use the company, being who else could take on a bear solo."

Frankie nervously looked at Bob, as Bob looked back at him with a smile.

"You can trust me; I'm not gonna shove you in front of that bear or anything." Bob reassured.

Frankie breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you..."

"Also, before I forget…" Bob continued, as he dug into his pockets and gave him back his sock puppet.

"Here. Kinda tinkered with it a bit."

Frankie looked at the puppet, and quickly hugged Bob.

"Thank you..." Frankie thanked back, as he placed the puppet over his hand.

"Wwwwwhhheeewww! Finally! I'm getting lines for this episode!"

Bob smiled at Frankie and his puppetwork, as the two continued to go through the cave.

"So, why are you even bowing down to Gabriella's will, anyway?" Bob asked. "Like, she's a bitch, for starters… "

"...It's cause I vomited all over her designer gown. And I'm stuck with her until I pay it off. Which'll be forever..." Frankie grumbled. "Stupid perfume..."

"Then, perhaps it's actually her fault her gown got ruined?" Bob theorized. "I mean, who even wears something very expensive to a reality TV show? Let alone one that's on an island."

He soon noticed something ahead, shining against the light in the cave.

"What about that one show that featured that one rich prick as the host?" The puppet said out loud.

"I'm… probably sure he ain't that important." Bob answered back before looking at Frankie. "Still, you don't have to listen to each and every one of Gabriella's demands. I mean, look at you; you're a wreck. And even your clothes are a complete wreck as well."

Frankie looked at Bob. "The clothes on my back? ...Only clothes I could pack in my bag."

Bob's eyes went wide. "You… don't have any other clothes? Like, at all?"

Frankie shook his head, as he held up his puppet.

"Nope, he doesn't. What you see is what you get." His puppet responded back in a serious tone.

"Ohh… Oh, my. Well, I gotta do something about that." Bob said, as the two entered what appeared to be a large portion of the cave.

Bob held his hand up, as the two stopped and looked forward.

In front of them appeared to be a bear, that would be large enough to tower over the two boys… If it weren't slumped over asleep.

"Okay, good; that bear is asleep." Bob said, breathing a sigh of relief. "But if it somehow wakes up..."

Frankie held up his puppet.

"Um, Bobby Boy?" The puppet spoke up, as Frankie pointed towards the other end of the cave.

A trio of bear cubs appeared to be in possession of an orange orb, with a couple of stars stamped on it. They were playing with it, throwing it into the air.

Bob sighed. "Dang it… Bear's a mommy. And they're really, REALLY territorial when it comes to their offspring."

"So, I guess stealing that thing is straight outta the question?" The puppet asked.

Bob nodded back. "Yep; otherwise, momma bear could awaken, and… Well, I already have one scar on me; I don't need a freaking gash against my body as well. Unless..."

Almost like magic, one of the bears threw the orange ball clear above the rest, as it soon started to descend onto the momma bear.

Frankie froze in fear, as Bob quickly dashed over to where the ball started to land, and managed to catch it before it could strike her. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew… Disaster avert-aver-av..." Bob started to say, as he suddenly sneezed rather loudly.

The loud sneeze soon stirred the momma bear awake, as it looked at the two intruders that were suddenly in her cave.

"Huh… Guess I've got an allergy to bear dander… Who knew?" Bob joked out loud.

RRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAARRRR!

The momma bear roared loudly in Bob's face, as he quickly dashed away and back next to Frankie.

"Sweet mother of..." Frankie muttered, as he started to slowly back away, with the bear closely approaching them.

Bob, backing away, noticed something on the ground. He picked it up, and offered it to the bear.

"Heeeeeyyy, buddy! How about this… Crunch bar?" Bob offered.

"Where you even get that?" The puppet asked, seemingly confused.

"RRRRROOOOOAAAARRRRR!" The bear roared back at Bob's face.

"Huh… It worked for Lucario." Bob noted, as the bear was getting closer.

"Bear getting closer… Bear getting closer..." The puppet chanted. "Do something, Bobby; I already have an UTR2 on this episode's Edgic… And I don't wanna get an OTTP for being shred to bits..."

Bob was doing some quick thinking, as he looked over at Frankie.

"Here, hold this and run!" Bob requested, handing over the ball to Frankie, as he took out the black sack that Kayley gave him earlier.

Frankie, taking no chances, took Bob's advice and sprinted for the exit.

The bear was close to Bob now, as she was ready to strike. Bob, thinking quickly, dug into the bag, and pulled out some dusty-looking stuff.

"What the heck is this?" Bob asked himself, as he looked at the bear. All of a sudden, he hurled the dust directly at the bear's face.

Suddenly, the bear sniffed, as it slumped onto the ground, and was fast asleep within a moment.

Bob looked at the sleeping bear, and not wanting to be around in case the bear woke up, suddenly bolted from the cave, relieved to be done with that oversized mammal.


Confessional: That was bear-y smart… Hey, we had to have a bear pun!

Bob: Jeepers, what was that stuff that Kayley gave me which sent that bear off to saw a few logs, anyway?

Kayley: It's a known grounded up dust with an aroma which helps induce sleep. Technically, you're supposed to burn it in a specific jar and let the aromas help you drift off to dreamland, but… I guess tossing it works, too.


Tough Turtles


An hour passed since the challenge began, and the Turtles currently found four of the seven Crystal Stars. They already knew where the seventh was, and was saving that one for last due to… Obvious reasons. Currently, they were following Alec, who was leading them to their next star.

"Wow, who knew that Vikki could fit into such a tiny car?" Maxwell asked out loud.

"Whatta expect from a clown, hun?" Yuki responded back, lightly punching Maxwell on the side.

"Thanks." Vikki said, smiling at Yuki before her smile dropped. "You think Omelette's alright? That dragon didn't look quite right."

"Hehe… It was talking insane like Maggie was..." Quinn chuckled out loud.

"No, after that." Vikki continued. "It suddenly appeared to had a change of personality. And that's not natural."

"How about that Mike guy?" Ulysses asked. "He had, like, several different personalities."

"We… Don't talk about him." Maxwell answered out loud. "He caused a lot of controversies which… Well, practically everyone on the Total Drama forums went in an outright outrage at the finale..."

"You mean that whole button deal?" Yuki asked.

"Exactly, Yuki." Maxwell answered back. "It's just… Whhhhhyyyy? You can't just fix your problems with just a single press of a button, oh no-no-no-no… Especially mental problems like OCD or DID or MPD. And the way they presented it was just…"

He growled in anger.

"Agh! You DO NOT PRESENT MENTAL ISSUES LIKE THAT!" Maxwell ranted out loud. "Like, after that episode, my sis, who has mental disabilities herself, quit watching this series in protest. She's only watching this season cause I'm in it. And… I'm hoping that with some fresh, kind faces on the show… We can… No. WILL make Total Drama great again."

"Hear-hear!" Yuki cheered out loud.

"Hehe… How about Gabriella from the Flounders?" Quinn chuckled out loud. "She's all mean and spoiled, hehe… And she could buy us out and force us on the streets, hehe..."

Yuki looked at Quinn, and chuckled back. "Well… 25 outta 26 ain't all that bad."

"Yeah, Gabriella is an exception." Maxwell agreed. "And I rather not be living out on the streets again..."

Everyone looked over at Maxwell in concern, as…

RRRROOOOOAAAARRR!

The team looked up in the sky, as the dragon was flying around, looking down at the ground.

"Where's my snacky-poo?" The dragon shouted out loud.

The team was looking at each other as the dragon said that.

"Snacky-poo? What?" Selena asked out loud, when all of a sudden...

"Make way for Omelette!" Omelette's voice shouted, as she ran up to the team, and stopped in front of them, panting.

"Omelette!" Vikki said, giving off a smile and hugging her friend. "How are you even doing?"

"Well… I was running from a dragon for a few minutes, ran into a cave which I instantly vacated from when I saw it had some bears in it..." Omelette answered back. "I think I lost a candy bar in there..."

"Where'd you even find a chocolate bar to begin with?" Selena asked out loud, seemingly confused.

"Weeeeeelllll..." Omelette said, as she grinned. "I hit up the Tuck Shop while trying to dodge our mythical legendary wanting to feast on our brains. And the rest of our gooey insides as well. I was meaning to split up that bar for me and Vikki to chow down on as a post-victory treat if we survived."

"Wait… The Tuck Shop?" Alec asked, looking confused.

"Ahhhh, right. It's barely used in Total Drama, and in its following fan-submitted stories, even by the most famous of TD authors. You probably know a lotta them." Omelette continued. "And the reason I said post-victory treat? Wellllll..."

She reached into his pockets and pulled out two of the Crystal Stars, as everyone looked at her.

"What the..." Selena said, raising an eyebrow.

"Again, scored them while I was fleeing from our uninvited guest from above." Omelette responded back.

She handed them over to the team, as Selena gave off a smile to Omelette.

"Great job, Omelette. And you are right about your post-victory treat. Why? Cause… With the two you obtained, with the four we scored, that makes six." Selena said towards the blonde contestant.

"Score." Omelette replied back, giving off a grin. "So, guess our last one is still in the belly of the beast up there."

"Hehe… Unless you got an idea on how to make a dragon upchuck their guts… Then we're doomed, hehe..." Quinn chuckled back nervously.

"Wow, lotsa vomiting today, huh?" Yuki asked out loud.


Confessional: Either that, or this is Total Drama, where you are bound to vomit at some point during your run…

Yuki: I have a track record on who vomited so far, hons! (She takes out a chart with all of the contestants' faces drawn on them, as well as Chris, Dana, and Maggie's face drawn on the chart as well. Frankie, Vikki, and Xane's faces were already crossed out in a bright pink X.) From what I heard, Frankie hurled before he even stepped off the boat, both Vikki and Xane chucked cookies into Dana's zinnias earlier this morning after eating old breakfast cereals… Wow. Three so far. Who do you think may be next? I'm betting it's Zero, if to disprove the theory that edgelords don't vomit. Quite some deep stuff, my guys.

Selena: Um… (She raises an eyebrow) Why is Yuki so interested in our vomit all of a sudden?


"Well… Remember when I bought that candy bar from the Tuck Shop? That ain't all I bought from there!" Omelette said out loud, as she took out what appeared to be a thin box of sorts and opened it up.

Inside appeared to be chocolate crickets, lying there and bathed in the sweet stuff.

"It's just your usual cooked up, bathed in melted cocoa and bite their head off in one bite chocolate cricket. A local delicacy from a far off country if I say so myself." Omelette finished, giving off her signature grin.

Ulysses, upon realizing what Omelette had, paled instantly. "Oh boy..."

"I was gonna share these with you all, but soon, I thought up another idea to fit with the situation we're in. Maybe… That dragon up there really, really hates crickets cause he got some pretty bad food poisoning one time after eating one?" Omelette asked out loud, as she pointed up. "Though to test that theory… One of us has to lure him down here."

"Though those crickets are rather small..." Yuki doubted, as she picked one of the crickets and looked at it closely. "That's not even enough for our scaley guest to even get a stomach cramp, let alone an outright 24 hour bug."

"The kid's right. We need to make it… Bigger." Alec prodded in. "And how shall we do that? Why… With the power of SCIENCE, or course!"

He reached into his pockets and pulled out a beaker, containing a light yellow liquid. Isaac looked at the liquid, and remembered what it was almost instantaneously.

"Alec… Isn't that the Growth Potion I was asked into testing last night?" Isaac asked.

"You betchya, Test Subject!" Alec answered back with a wide grin. "While you already experienced it first hand, I may wanna deliver my pitch to the other audience members. You see, if you take a sip of this stuff, then your entire body starts to grow, clothes included, until you're at least 50 feet tall. Got a problematic bully? Settle the score by just looking down upon him. He won't bug you ever again after that. Got a Kaiju problem? Then take the fight to it! This baby is one of my first… And proudest experiments that I've ever accomplished. Won me the first place ribbon at the fourth grade science fair… And scored the gym a new skylight at the same time."

"And what would happen if you dunked one of those chocolate crickets in it?" Maxwell questioned. "Well, you did say that it would grow 50 feet tall. And I think it would be too much of a dead giveaway to our plan."

"Well… One can always use an eyedropper and just drop a dab of my potion onto it?" Alec asked, as he shrugged. "Worth a shot."

"Right. Now, one last thing. We need some bait." Selena said out loud.

Yuki raised her hand.

"...Other than Yuki." Selena added, as Yuki lowered her hand.

Vikki slowly rose her hand.

"Umm, I've got a unicycle and some balls. Maybe my circus act can distract that dragon enough?" Vikki proposed. "At least it would be better than dressing as hot dogs and doing the hula."

Quinn chuckled. "Hehe… I can picture one of us doing that, honestly..."


Screaming Squids


Meanwhile, with the Squids…

During the hour, they only found five of the Chaos Emeralds. They were on the track for the remaining two, as they decided to talk amongst one another.

"Soooo… Favorite animal?" Ross asked Luka.

"That's easy; it's the dolphin." Luka answered back. "Second would be the sea turtle, and third? Iguana."

"Heh, would had known. Okay… How about your first tattoo?" Ross wondered.

"My Peaceful Paws symbol on my ankle." Luka answered back, smiling. "Man, the day I became a Paw was so wicked cool..."

"Okay, that's rather awesome." Ross nodded back. "Ooh, how about this! What's the craziest thing you ever done?"

Luka gave off a grin. "Well… If you want crazy, I was around 12. I was out there on the African plains, and I spotted a group of zebras just grazing around. I decided to get up close and personal and… I took a selfie with one of them. Needless to say, the sound spooked one of them, and before I knew it, I was on the back of one, riding it like a rancher!"

She gave off a giggle, as Ross couldn't help but smile back at Luka.

"You must really adore animals, huh?" Ross asked back. "I do, too. I ain't just this alien-obsessed dude who wants to find a way to summon beings from another planet… I also care for our furry buddies as well. You know, the dogs… Cats… Hamsters… Fam runs a pet shop. Maybe after the show, I can show you around it sometime?"

Luka smiled at Ross. "That would be awesome."

The two looked at each other as…

"Oooooohhh, someone has a crush~!" Hannah sang out.

Both Ross and Luka turned to view Hannah, as Luka stuck her tongue out, teasing the goth girl.

"Awww, get bent." Ross joked back.

Hannah smirked at Ross. "Dude, don't hide it; you have a total hard-on for our resident punk girl."

With Tina, she was currently talking to Whitney about stuff.

"Man, how did I even fall for such a newbie trap?" Whitney asked. "Like, I'm supposed to be an inspiration for young girls looking up to me, and seeing me as an inspiration. I'm supposed to be this goofy dream girl for boys to experience the true wonders of puberty for the first time! And possibly for any girls and for anyone in between. Like… How can I be all of those things if I fall for such traps which even a grade schooler could sense was coming a mile away?"

Tina could only smile gently at Whitney.

"It's alright; just a rookie mistake. It's kinda justifiable for us to be like that with the stakes are as high as they are." Tina comforted back.

"How about you?" Whitney asked.

"Well… I got dropped down to the Losers Bracket at a Smash tournament I took part of. My main was Villager, while my opponent played a pretty mean Terry. Like, the guy was still fresh outta its packaging, so I thought this would be an easy win How wrong I was. Anyways, I learned from my mistakes and I managed to crawl out of that bracket, and later pull off the W at the finals." Tina answered back. "They were quite amazed that I managed to use Villager all the way through."

"Really? Dang!" Whitney exclaimed back. "Usually at small Smash tournaments, all you see is some sword weilding Lord from Fire Emblem. Which is BORING and it makes the Smash fandom RAGE like CRAZY. Also, seriously… If someone comes after those doofuses with an axe, they are TOAST. The Lords in Three Houses may stand a better chance at fighting some axe dude than the 47 FE slot fillers that's already on the roster sporting nice, shiny swords!"

"You know about Fire Emblem?" Tina asked.

"A bit? Kinda-Sorta? Learned it from my older bro's fiancee." Whitney answered back. "She's probably a huger gaming dork than you. Maybe you two outta duke it out in a game of Smash sometime?"

She peeked over towards Peter, who was walking from the group, smirking at Tina.

"Well… After you cream our Call Of Duty fanboy into the dust?" Whitney asked.

"I may have to take her up on that offer one day..." Tina answered back, sporting a smirk. "I just love a good challenge."

With Xane, he was holding onto his plant, as he patted it on its top.

"Hoooo, who's a good plant?" Xane cooed to it like it was an infant. "Ooooohh, you are! Yes, you are!"

"You are wasting your time with your plants..."

Xane turned to the side to see Zero, walking alongside the botanist.

"What makes you say that, hoo?" Xane asked out loud.

"You can do as much as you can, but not even you can save this damned, doomed planet." Zero answered back. "Even if you plant a million trees, they shall die from tons of air and ground pollution. You all fucked up your own home, and you all have to live with it."

Xane looked at Zero with concern. "Are… You feeling alright, Zero?"

"Why, or course he is!" Danny said, butting in. "Whatta think from an edgelord like himself?"

"Hoo, how about you, Danny?" Xane asked out loud. "Would you be considered an edgelord, too?"

"I'm already dark and edgy; whatta think?" Danny answered back. "I aim to be the bad boy that all the teenage girls love! And if I'm lucky… Maybe they'll be exactly like me?"

Both Xane and Zero looked over at Danny.

"Hoooo… So, who would be your type?" Xane asked.

"You know; the type who doesn't take any crap from anyone! The type who expresses their art via the walls! Bonus points if they're into piercings as well." Danny answered back, giving off a grin, as he put his hands on the back of his head. "That would be my ideal woman for me."

"Same here..." Zero muttered, in a rare positive tone.

Xane looked at both of the boys, and smiled.

"Hooooo… Well, I do know these two girls in my Horticulture class who meet with at least two of the qualifications. Want me to hook you two up with them after the show?" Xane offered.

But Danny simply scoffed. "What, you? What do you know about love?"

"Apparently more than you, hooooooo~!" Xane sung out loud, as he looked at the camera with a smile and a wave. "Love you, Angel!"


Confessional: Wow… Did Xane channel Peridot for a second?

Xane: (He is holding onto his flower) I was actually serious about hooking both Danny and Zero up with those girls I know. Zero… He could use a lot of cheering up, and as for Danny? Well, that one girl I have in mind with him? She can tame him, no worries. (He smiles.) Hoo? Hoo!


Pretty soon, Ross' radar soon beeped wildly, as he started to lead his team deep into the forest and stopped in front of the wreckage of a plane. The foliage looked to had been quickly wrapped around the exterior of the plane, with many of the windows either smashed in, or quickly dirtied up thanks to the host. An obviously fake skeleton was hanging outside the side of the plane.

"Yep, if this radar's right, then our next Emerald's in there." Ross said out loud, pointing at the wreckage.

"Yeah, I have to agree." Luka added. "Now, which of us should go in there and grab it? Nature's overtaken the plane by now, and there's bound to be some kinda poisonous insects lurking in there."

Peter quickly shook his head. "Count me out, lady; I already dealt with insects yesterday, and look where that landed me."

"Yeah, and if Hannah tried lifting that plane, that would totes disturb the bugs inside. That, and it could hurt the nearby plant life." Tina added, as she looked over at Xane, who was fixated at the skeleton. "How about you, Xane? You're good with plants, so maybe you're able to walk inside and-"

Xane quickly shook his head. "Hoooooo, no. I… don't do well with skeletons."

"Isn't that what's actually in our bodies right now, lover boy?" Danny questioned back.

Hannah took one look at the plane, and grinned.

"Don't sweat it, guys; I been here yesterday while my team was gathering up gift boxes." Hannah said out loud. "This outta be a piece of cake!"

"Wait, really?" Whitney asked, as Hannah nodded back. "Soooo… You should know the inside already, do you?"

"Well, I only went around the exterior. We didn't exactly go inside the wreckage." Hannah chuckled back. "Still, this should be easy; no sweat!"

She walked over to the crashed wreckage, as she noticed the door to the plane was sealed shut. Shrugging, she pulled the handle of it, and with a bit of effort, managed to pull the door right off the plane. Everyone was alarmed at her strength, as she simply tossed the door aside, looked at her team, and gave off a shrug.

"Was that a bit too much?" Hannah asked out loud, before entering the plane itself.

The other campers stood outside the wreckage, as some sounds were being heard from within the plane. Sounds of banging, and stuff being tossed aside. There was even a squeak heard as well.

"Crap!" Hannah yelled from inside the plane.

"Be careful of any broken glass in there!" Xane yelled from outside.

The rummaging continued, before Hannah stepped back outside the plane, one Chaos Emerald richer.

"Taa-Daa!" Hannah sung out loud, holding up the Emerald. "Good news and bad news. Good news? Found the Emerald!"

Most of the team cheered out loud at Hannah's feat.

"Way to go, kiddo!" Whitney shouted happily.

"You know something? You're all right." Peter added, giving off a smile.

"What's the bad news?" Ross asked.

"Well... I kinda did do an oopsie..." Hannah continued, as she also pulled out a greyish squirrel, which had a bump on its noggin.

"Oh, dear..." Luka gulped, as she rushed over to where the squirrel was.

"I swear, I didn't know he was nearby while I was tossing books from behind. It was an accident!" Hannah continued, as he looked at it. "Yeah, it's a he."

"Let me see him." Luka requested, as Hannah handed over the squirrel. She observed it, and looked at the goth girl. "Well, good news? It's only a conk on the noggin, so it should be make a speedy recovery. But next time, be careful tossing stuff behind yourself, alright?"

Hannah nodded back.

"I'll also want to observe it overnight, just to be totally sure it'll be truly okay before we release it back into the wild." Luka continued as she put her hand upon Hannah's shoulder. "Don't worry; we're not mad at you. It was just an accident."

Hannah smiled back at Luka. "Thank you."

"Now… We should find the rest of these Emeralds. See if we can try to win this challenge, alright?" Luka said out loud.

"Yeah, let's do this." Hannah nodded back.

But in Luka's arms, the squirrel only blinked a bit, before it looked at the camera.


Confessional: This has been one Bad Fur Day…

Hannah: Man, that was a close one… Seriously, it was a genuine accident! Still… I do hope that squirrel be okay.

Squirrel: (I was only wondering around this plane searching for old airplane peanuts, when some cook book landed on my head! Now… I feel the strangest sensation to cook up a five star meal.)


Meanwhile, with the Flounders, they were walking along a path. In the past hour, they managed to grab 6 of their 7 Dragon Balls, and have entrusted them with Candace. They were currently seeking out the seventh ball, as they were talking amongst one another.

"So, if these were the genuine Dragon Balls… This huge dragon could grant you a wish?" Ethan asked out loud.

"You betchya, kiddo." Nancy answered back, sporting a grin. "It could be anything; riches, your dead loved ones coming back from the grave, a piece of underwear… Not me, though. My wish would have to either go towards a sick board, or a really sick skatepark for my community to enjoy. Most likely the skatepark; the orphans in my deserve such wickedness while waiting to get adopted."

Gabriella scoffed. "What a lame use of a wish. My wish? It would be even more famous! One day, everyone shall be seeing my name everywhere; on movie posters, on cereal boxes, on soda cans… My name shall even in lights and buildings!"

Frankie held up his puppet.

"Yeah, cause everyone all around would want to visit a giant tower which reads Thyme." The puppet said out loud.

Gabriella gave off a hateful glare towards Frankie.

Ethan looked over at Kayley. "How about you, Kayley? What would be your wish? A lotus flower? A new tattoo? A tattoo of a lotus flower?"

Kayley only chuckled back. "That would be too easy, goofball. That, and I already have a lotus flower etched. Score one for family discounts! As for my actual wish? Just help more people out there with my magick spells. There's some who aren't exactly… fans of my family's religion. I want to let them know that we mean no harm; we're aiming to help. We're nature lovers, in actuality."

Ethan smiled back at Kayley. "Why would people hate you? You're one of the coolest girls I know! ...Other than Fern, or course. And Nancy, Candace, and Yuki."

"Hey! What about me-" Gabriella whined out loud.

"Anyways, as for my wish?" Ethan continued, interrupting Gabriella. "Well, maybe to grant some time for my parents to relax? They're always so busy saving lives, they're always so tired when they get off after their shift."

"I would wish to bring some smiles and laughter with some really awesome cartoons." Candace said out loud, giving off a smile. "Like, I got some ideas storming in my noggin, and with how everyone is seemingly on edge these days… They could use a lot of relax time. You know, just kick back and watch some animated goof-offs have some fun!"

"Yeah, I agree. Like… That remake for Powerpuff Girls? That was trash!" Ethan added.

"I know, right?" Candace agreed back.

Frankie looked at his fellow teammates. "...I would wish for someone I could bring a smile to. Including myself."

"What, you?" Gabriella scoffed back. "Don't make me laugh; who would love someone like you?"

Frankie looked down upon the ground, frowning.

"My wish?" Jonah said out loud. "I would love to have one hot babe! And not someone lame like Frankie's ideal girl! She would have long, blonde hair, big green eyes, world class boobs, an ass that doesn't quit, and some really tight legs! That's the ideal babe for your main boi!"

He sported a grin, as the winds blew in his direction…

...Jonah

Bob blinked. "I wish I could know how you do that wind thing."

"Hey, ask our resident witch; even I don't know." Jonah shrugged back.


Confessional: I wish for a new body! Yep, one that's beyond awesome!

Kayley: Dudes, even I'm puzzled at how Jonah's doing that wind thing of his. It ain't in any of my spell books that I own. And I read them frontwards and back.

Bob: As for my actual wish? Well, I would like to help out some buddies of mine back at home. Especially Mrs. Brightwing. She's been to Woodstock at my age, you know!

Frankie: ...My ideal girl? She would have one cute smile, really cute eyes, a world class personality, she doesn't quit when things are going down, and… Would purple hair be considered a bonus?


Pretty soon, their radar started to go off again, as Candace pulled it out. Looking at it, she nodded and started to lead her team to where it was laying.

They soon stopped in what appeared to be an open field. Laying right at the center was their seventh Dragon Ball.

Ethan smiled. "Cool! I've got a good feeling about this!"

Bob frowned. "I've got a bad feeling about this..."

Meanwhile, Nancy sported a grin. "Nice! It's out in the open! Now all we've gotta do is grab that up and this challenge is ours!"

She started to walk over to the ball, as Candace pulled her back.

"Not so fast… Bob may be right. This... Doesn't seem right." Candace responded back.

"Whatta mean?" Nancy asked.

"Hmm..." Candace hummed, as she picked up a small rock, and tossed it into the field…

BOOM!

A putrid green cloud of fog started to erupt where the rock landed. It appeared to look sickly, cause even the odor started to reach both Nancy and Candace.

"Urk… It smells like if a rotten egg done it with a corpse flower and had a baby..." Candace gagged, as she sprinted off. Audible vomiting sounds were heard from afar.

Nancy also backed away from the odor. "...Yeah, even I'm not crazy to deal with what could possibly be a stink bomb mine field."

The winds even took the odor towards the other campers, as they reacted to the grossness of it.

"That is just grossaroo." Ethan said out loud, as he also gagged a bit but managed to keep it in.

Jonah held his nose. "Whew! Smells like the asscrack of a neckbeard!"

Bob looked over at Jonah. "And why are you smelling other people, anyway?"

Gabriella gave a glare towards Frankie. "Servant! Go fetch me that ball!"

She pointed towards where the ball laid, as the odor started to fade away. Frankie gulped at the thought of having to step into the minefield.

"Gabriella, have you gone daft?" Bob asked, giving an angry look at Gabriella. "Have you seen what erupted from the ground?"

"Yeah; it's making Candace taste her breakfast again!" Ethan added.

"Um... TMI, Ethan?" Bob said towards Ethan.

"Whatever..." Gabriella said towards Bob, before giving off a scary glare towards Frankie. "Servant! Get that ball… Now."

Frankie nodded nervously, as he pulled out his puppet, gave it a pat on the head, and tossed it Bob's way, to which he caught it.

He soon nervously stepped through the minefield, trying not to set any explosives off. Step by step, he felt more and more nervous, until he reached the ball. He quickly snatched it up, and repeated the same procedure in reverse. He was close to the rest of the group, as…

BZZZZZZ…

What appeared to be a yellow and striped bug started to fly around Frankie. Frankie soon froze in fear, as Gabriella could only stare.

"What are you doing, servant?! Get back here, now!" Gabriella demanded.

Frankie could only look at Gabriella. "B...But… The wasp..."

Gabriella picked up a rock. "Who cares about some freaky bee?"

"...What if I'm allergic?" Frankie excused back.

"Fine… I'll get rid of that bee… Crybaby!" Gabriella shouted, as she tossed the rock right at the minefield, forgetting about the danger at hand… "...Oops."

It felt like slow-motion, as the campers tried to run towards the rock, but it was too late, as it landed right in front of Frankie…

BOOM!


Tough Turtles


Back with the Turtles, Selena was looking at her team.

"Are we sure this is such a good idea?" Selena asked, uncertain as she looked over at Vikki, who was currently on her unicycle, juggling a few plastic balls she bought with her. "What if that dragon doesn't even fall for our bait?"

Vikki wheeled herself backwards towards Selena. "It'll work, trust us. Besides, jesters are any dragon's first target all the time in medieval stories, and I'm kinda a modern day one."

Vikki soon wheeled herself back into position, as she continued to juggle, as the dragon soon spotted her. She soon landed right in front of her with a small tremor, nearly knocking her off her unicycle.

"Hmm, soooooo… You're just some silly clown..." The dragon spoke out loud.

Vikki stopped juggling and simply shrugged. "Or course I am! I was born this way! Well… Not exactly, long story on that one."

"You must be foolish enough to stand your ground against me and this awesome body..." The dragon continued to speak. "You appear to be on the small side of things. But… You would make for an excellent snack before dinner time. Yes… What I outta do is chow down on you… HEADFIRST!"

The dragon soon started to approach Vikki, showing off its sharp teeth, as Vikki hopped off of her unicycle, reached behind her back, and pulled out a giant squeaky hammer.

"Well… I like to see you try." Vikki dared back, as she booped the dragon on the nose.

The dragon's mouth went wide in surprise.

"Now, Omelette!" Vikki yelled out, as Omelette came running out, with a really large chocolate cricket bundled in her arms. She soon tossed the cricket inside the mouth of the dragon, as it ate it up.

"Nailed it!" Omelette exclaimed in victory.

The dragon instantly felt ill after ingesting the cricket.

"UUUURRRKKK!" The dragon croaked out loud. "Was that a… cricket? My systems can't handle chocolate and crickets, let along both of them mashed together… AACCKK!"

It soon started to swing its tail at the two, as both Omelette and Vikki dodged the strike.

"Come on, let me grab a taste of one of you! If to get this rancid feeling from me..." The dragon choked.

The dragon swung its tail at the two girls again, this time, striking Vikki. She was flung towards an open clearing, as the dragon soon started to approach the clown girl.

"You tricked me into eating a cricket… Well… No more tricks. I am eating someone, and it's gonna have to be you." The dragon declared.

Vikki kept a tight grip on her hammer, as Dana suddenly pulled up next to her via her Gator.

"Vikki! You gotta shut it down!" Dana shouted from the speaker.

"No kidding, Dana." Vikki replied back. "But… How?"

"Well, Maggie did upload me the schematics of this here beast, and there's an off-switch… Well, inside. Think you're up to it?" Dana asked.

Vikki gave off a smile. "Yeah, I am."

The dragon soon opened its mouth, as Vikki suddenly jumped inside the mouth of the dragon, and slid down its throat.

"Ahhhh… Now was that so hard?" The dragon said out loud. "Though I still feel rather ill..."

The rest of the campers could only watch in pure fear at Vikki's efforts.

"Meow… Vikki got ate!" Nerdi cringed out loud.

"Hehe… We'll be seeing her again in about a while." Quinn spoke up. "Though she may not be exactly the same, hehe..."

"Gee, you're a bundle of sunshine, aren't you?" Maxwell said towards Quinn.

The dragon soon started to approach the rest of the campers, ready to chow down upon them as well.

The campers were ready to stand their ground, when suddenly… The dragon started to slow down.

"Ack! Can't… continue… on… Catching a… case… of… dead..." The dragon slurred, as it flopped down upon its belly, its bright eyes starting to dim. "Rosebud… Was… Citi...zen… Kane's..."

"...S...l...e...d..."

"Dammit!" Selena cursed out loud. "I was planning on watching Citizen Kane later on!"

The dragon's dim eyes soon turned black, as it opened its mouth, and seemingly barfing out Vikki, holding the Crystal Star.

"Whew!" Vikki breathed out loud. "That's one thing I rather not try again..."

"Vikki! You're one insane clown!" Omelette said out loud, giving a playful slap on Vikki's back.

"Nice job, Vikki!" Maxwell cheered out loud.

"But before we celebrate… We should get these things back." Vikki reminded everyone. "We're still in a challenge."

"Ah, yeah! You're right!" Yuki said, as the team started to sprint off.

But one team member was running slower than the others.

"Blast… How could my grand-master plan be thwarted by some… clown girl?!" Ulysses asked himself softly. "You may not have known it, but you made yourself one powerful enemy, Vikki..."


Confessional: Vikki Heartz – Dragon Slayer!

Ulysses: Sure, laugh now. But one day… You are going down, clown.

Vikki: I have the highest respect for meatballs, now…


Back at camp, Chris was standing at the finish line, in front of a pair of tables.

"Okay, our teams should be coming back at any moment, now." Chris said out loud.

"Guys! There's Chris!"

"Really? Yeesh, we must dash, hon! Unless..."

"There's another team?! Get moving, you idiot!"

"Wait, just give them to me! Only one of us has to get this to the finish line."

"But who?"

Chris peered towards the distance, and sported a grin.

"And here's two of our teams, now!" Chris announced. "Oh, this is gonna be good..."

It was a footrace to the finish line now, as Ethan and Yuki started to sprint towards their destination, each of them holding a rather large bag.

"Great challenge, am I right, hon?" Yuki asked Ethan, as she caught a small whiff of him, gagging a bit. "Yeesh… What happened to you, you smell like the xylem of some corpse flower or something."

"Gabriella threw a rock in a stink bomb mine field and… Well… We were caught in the blast." Ethan answered back.

"Whew, ouch." Yuki said sincerely. "Well, perhaps I can ask Selena if she has any special soaps and shampoos which can scrub out that stench later on?"

Ethan smiled back. "Yeah, that would be preferred. But first..."

He started to sprint in front of Yuki.

"Can you catch me first?" Ethan asked out loud. "Follow your nose!"

Yuki gave off a grin, as she started to sprint ahead of Ethan.

"Oh, no problems there~!" Yuki sung out loud, as she sprinted past the finish line, and lined up her Crystal Stars out onto the table.

A whistle was blown, as a wide grin grew on Chris.

"And there you have it! The winners of this first exciting challenge are… The Tough Turtles!" Chris announced.

Yuki gave off a grin, holding up a thumbs up, as Ethan crossed the finish line afterwards. He lined up his Dragon Balls.

"And Ethan crosses second, meaning the Funky Flounders are safe from elimination!" Chris continued.

Ethan panted, looking tired as Yuki gave off a smile towards Ethan.

"Great race, buddy." Yuki said out loud. "I shake your hand cause of good sportsmanship, but… Yeah, a shower is totally needed."

"Yeah, gotta agree with you there." Ethan replied back, as the rest of the teams caught up with them. They stood a fair bit of distance from the Flounders cause of most of them smelling after that stink bomb incident.

"Way to go, Yuki!" Maxwell cheered out loud.

"Your idea worked!" Selena also cheered as well.

"Hey, can't take all the credit; Alec helped as well, and Omelette supplied us with the crickets." Yuki reminded her team, as she gave off a sweet smile towards her two fellow contestants.

"Another challenge complete! With the power of SCIENCE!" Alec declared.

"Thanks, Yuki." Omelette answered back. "Who knew the secret to victory were crickets?"

Nancy, meanwhile, shrugged. "Ah, well. Sucks we're still stuck with the stinkwad, but… Us Flounders shall fight for another day!"

She soon looked over at Gabriella, and her eyes went wide.

"Wait… How did you avoid getting stenched?!" Nancy exclaimed in surprise.

"Well… Family secret. Which I'm not telling you." Gabriella responded back.

Vikki looked over at the Flounders, and noticed something.

"Hey… Where's Frankie?" Vikki asked.

"Well… One of our own was in the middle of the minefield when that rock landed..." Ethan answered back. "And..."

Not too far from the team was Frankie, who had intense stink clouds coming off him. They all kept a fair distance from him.

"...Help… Me..." Frankie croaked out loud, trying not to gag at the intense smell wafting him at the moment.

"Aw, geez..." Vikki muttered, looking at Frankie and wanting to help, but not being able to.

"Miss Selena?" Yuki asked. "Think your soaps and shampoos can deal with that?"

"Heck, it be a miracle if he would ever smell normal again." Selena answered back.

Yuki was silent, as Whitney on the Squids came running up to the finish line, and she started to scatter her Chaos Emeralds on her team's table.

"Whitney… You and your team's the last to arrive." Chris announced.

"I know; just let me finish this challenge!" Whitney responded back, as she laid down the last Emerald. "There, challenge finished. Now give us the old song and dance, pops."

"Hey… I'm not that old!" Chris whined back. "And we should wait until all of your team mates are around."


A few minutes later, all of the team members were standing on their team's mats, with Frankie standing a far distance from his.

"First off, congrats to the Tough Turtles for winning this challenge!" Chris announced. "And as a reward for winning, they each receive a 1,000 dollar shopping card, which they can be used at their favorite store!"

The teammates cheered out loud.

"Eh, not that I need it, but spending cash on someone else's dime? It'll do." Selena shrugged.

"Just imagine the tons of manga I can buy with this amount of cash..." Maxwell said, sporting a grin.

The team started to disperse, as Chris looked over at the Funky Flounders next.

"As for the Flounders? I got no reward for you, but be grateful you're not heading to elimination tonight." Chris continued. "Now, go! Get yourselves a shower, you stink!"

"Gladly!" Gabriella shouted back.

The team dispersed, as the host looked at the Screaming Squids. Some of them looked in defeat, while Luka cradled the squirrel, which now had a bandage wrapped around its head.

"Squids… You blew it. Hard. And with that… You're gonna be voting one of your own off this island tonight." Chris said out loud. "You have a few hours to decide who it's gonna be..."

The Squids could only look at each other, with only one thing on their mind…

Who to vote off…


Confessional: This is always the toughest part of any TD…

Xane: This is gonna be a bit of a toughie… Hoooo...


Tough Turtles


About an hour later, both Omelette and Vikki were sitting back in lawn chairs, as they shared some of the chocolate crickets that Omelette bought earlier.

"Up to decap another cricket, Vikki?" Omelette asked, offering a cricket.

"Ahh, yeah!" Vikki answered back, accepting a cricket and downing it. "Man, this really hits the stuff..."

"Bet they never sold that stuff at the circus, huh?" Omelette smirked towards her friend.

"Nope." Vikki replied back. "It was mostly snack foods like popcorn, cotton candy, and funnel cake."

"Yum-yum." Omelette said, licking her lips. "Also, I would like to offer up something to you as well."

"More chocolate-covered bugs?" Vikki asked. "What could be tastier than crickets?"

"Well… How about an alliance? Would that be tastier?" Omelette offered up.

Vikki's eyes went wide. "Wow, that some dirty language you're spouting…"

"Oh, I can talk even more dirtier. Backstabbing! Medical Evacuation! Idol!" Omelette said out loud, giggling.

"Gee, someone's being naughty..." Vikki replied back, giggling. "Well, alright; I'll join ya."

"Nice!" Omelette said, sporting a grin. "Oh, trust me, with you by my side, we'll get to the finale together! And show everyone out there watching one of the coolest final challenges… ever!"

The two gave off a high five, as the door to their cabin opened, and both Selena and Yuki exited, carrying what appeared to be all sorts of shampoo.

"What's going on, Selena? You gonna give Yuki a spa treatment?" Omelette asked, as the two girls looked at her.

"Oh, I wish; her face could be more silky smooth." Selena replied back. "Oh, no. We're offering up some of my shampoos to the Flounders. Have you've smelt them?"

"Yeah, we did… It was a struggle to not vomit again." Vikki answered back.

"Also, have you two entered our cabin in the past hour?" Yuki asked out loud.

Omelette shook her head. "No, not really. Why you ask?"

"Well, a can of blue hair dye I bought with me onto the island suddenly up and vanished." Yuki answered back. "Like one minute, it was there, and suddenly… It's gone."

"Huh… Strange. Have you spoke to Kayley?" Vikki suggested. "She's the only one we know who has blue hair."

"It's of a different hue; hers is of a neon blue, all while I packed a dark blue in my bag." Yuki explained.

"I just wanna ask why you wanted to up and carry hair dye with you." Selena said out loud.

"Hey, what if someone wanted to change up their hair-do? Or if some bad boy hooked some girl in his claws and she wanted to change up her look, hon?" Yuki responded back. "Best be prepped for anything, sweetie!"

"Right. Anyways, let's get this stuff over to the Flounders, alright?" Selena asked.

The two girls left, as both Omelette and Vikki looked at each other.

"Whoa, we got some thievery going on..." Vikki said out loud.

"Yeah… Maybe we should keep a closer eye on our belongings." Omelette suggested.

"I gotta agree with that." Vikki said, nodding in response. "But for now..."

She took out what appeared to be a pink looking bag.

"Cotton candy?" Vikki asked, offering up some to her friend.


Confessional: Cotton candy; the best distraction for thieves!

Omelette: Yeah, cause if someone got their mitts on one of these babies… (She holds up a Chris Idol) They could control this game! Like, outright control it! And I ain't about to become some puppet, nope!


Meanwhile, both Maxwell and Quinn were sitting back on their sofa, watching anime.

"Hehe… So what kinda doom are we experiencing today?" Quinn asked.

"Well… Unless you count magical girls as doom… Then that?" Maxwell answered back.

"Magical girls?" Quinn asked again.

"You know, the kind of girls who have magical trinkets, pimped out outfits, and they take on some demon of the week all while spreading the love of friendship?" Maxwell answered back. "Would that ring a bell?"

"Hehe… I know that kind of show anywhere. Only it involved more ponies." Quinn said, chuckling. "Yeah, I have to admit, I was a Brony… Hehe, those days are kinda over. For now, at least, hehe..."

"I'm sure they'll be back in full form." Maxwell said out loud, as the two sat back and watched some of Maxwell's anime.

"Hehe… Transforming into a magical hero would give the bad guys enough time to just take them out right in the middle..." Quinn chuckled. "But they're always distracted, hehe..."

"Well, about that? It's kinda a written rule in magical girl shows to not interfere with their transformation sequence. Perhaps it takes a large amount of energy in which if the bad guy of the week tried interrupting in the middle of it, it would damage him greatly, if not outright kill him?" Maxwell theorized.

Soon, the door opened and Ulysses stormed inside, holding a device.

"Lousy piece of chocolate allergic junk..." Ulysses grumbled.

"What's going on?" Maxwell asked out loud.

"Whatta think, Maxwell?" Ulysses responded back. "How could you even take down a robotic dragon with a giant chocolate cricket?"

"Hehe… I can think of a few ways…" Quinn chuckled out loud.

"If I needed your input, I would had asked you." Ulysses grumbled back.

Maxwell lept out from the sofa.

"Now, now… Let's all remain calm, here." Maxwell said out loud. "We're all friends here."

Ulysses sighed. "I'm going out for another walk. Please don't tail me; I prefer to be alone."

He soon exited the cabin, as both Maxwell and Quinn looked at each other.

"Hehe, he seemed upset about that dragon..." Quinn spoke up. "Maybe we should talk to him about this?"

Maxwell shook his head. "Naaahh, best we give him some space. For now, though..."

He held up a DVD case.

"...You up for some PreCure? I've got a lotta seasons to choose from!" Maxwell offered up.


Confessional: That would be a tough choice…

Quinn: Well, I could watch some shows which aren't all fear-mongering, hehe…

Maxwell: Yeah, while most people think of magical girl, they go instantly to Sailor Moon. I, however, go to the PreCure series. That, and you can just jump into a season without having previous knowledge of the last one. Win-Win!


Alec & Isaac's Lab


Inside the boat house, Isaac was busy doing the finishing touches on a puppet of Omelette, as Nerdi watched.

"Meow, what convinced you to make a puppet of Omelette?" Nerdi asked out loud.

"Beats me..." Isaac answered back. "You never know when plush puppets of your teammates could come in handy. Best be prepped..."

He then looked towards Alec, who was busy observing his potions.

"Great job with the growth potion today, Alec." Isaac complimented out loud.

"Ahhhhh, that was just a TASTE of my power, Test Subject!" Alec roared happily. "Like I said, I've plenty of concoctions planned for all sorts of situations. Together, we shall TAKE THIS GAME BY STORM! MWAHAHAHA!"

Isaac looked at Alec. "Am I in what they call an… Alliance, now?"

"Pss-shaw." Alec scoffed. "Alliance is such a dirty word to be shouting out loud in public. I call it… a partnership."

"Isn't that the same thing, meow?" Nerdi asked out loud.

"Anyways, how would you feel about testing out another potion of mine?" Alec offered, as he held out a lime colored potion. "I promise you, this won't cause you to grow an extra head or make you lose a limb. That's the Alec promise."

Isaac took a look at the potion, before shrugging and giving it a good swig. He soon swallowed the contents within.

"Hmm… Tastes like lime..." Isaac said out loud. "Why does your potions taste like fruit, anyway?"

"Well… That's a wonderful story, Test Subject! It all stems from my folks, who-" Alec began to say, as…

"Um, Alec? Hold that thought, but… How are you getting bigger? And so is the table? And Nerdi? ...And the shed?" Isaac asked.

It only took a few seconds, but soon, Isaac surveyed his surroundings. He only took the rational response.

"...CRAP! I'm like, small!" Isaac yelled out loud in a panic. "Like, I'm a shrimp!"

Nerdi, upon seeing her owner, scooped him up and took him into a hug.

"Awwwww, cutie!" Nerdi cooed, pulling him deeper into a hug.

"ACK!" Isaac choked out loud. "Too tight..."

Nerdi loosened her grip. "Sorry, meow. But it is true..."

"Anyways… What happened, Alec?!" Isaac asked in a panic.

"Well… My shrinking potion worked. That's what happened." Alec answered back. "Don't sweat it; the aftereffects shall fade in a few minutes to a few hours, depending on how much of it you drunk."

Alec looked at the half-empty potion, and back at Isaac.

"Wow… You must really love lime products." Alec noted. "Guess you're stuck as a tiny for a few hours."

"Wait, what? But… How about my projects? How about stuff that aren't that dangerous to us at a normal size suddenly being really deadly?" Isaac asked in a panic. "How about if my feet suddenly get tickled by Nerdi?"

Nerdi, looking down at her now down-sized friend, gave off a grin.

"Oooooh, you know what that means, meow?" Nerdi sung out loud.

"Oh, no..." Isaac gulped.

"It's time to meet..."

"Not them..."

"Mrs. Ticklefingers, meow!" Nerdi sung out loud.

Nerdi soon started to tickle Isaac, as the sewer couldn't help but laugh.

"HAHAHAHA! Nerdi!"

Alec also couldn't help but smile at his Test Subject's cat creature giving his Test Subject a heck of a storm of tickles…


Confessional: Tickle! Tickle! Tickle!

Isaac: (He is being held in Nerdi's hands) Seriously… I haven't seen Mrs. Ticklefingers in a good long while. Still… While Nerdi is good… She was better.

Nerdi: Um, I'm standing right here, meow.


Funky Flounders


Meanwhile, in the Boy's side of the cabin, Ethan entered, as she smelt himself.

"Cool, I smell like citrus fruits and cucumbers..." Ethan said out loud. "Way better than smelling like rotten corpses."

"Yeah, ain't that the truth." Bob agreed. "We gotta thank Selena later on for her lending us her specialty shampoos."

"Yeah, totally. Also, I gotta ask." Ethan continued, as he looked over at Frankie's bunk.

Laid in the middle appeared to be a black t-shirt with a pic of Chris McLean stamped on the front, and a pair of blue sweatpants.

"Oh, the clothes? Bought them for Frankie." Bob answered back. "That stink bomb made his usual clothes completely unwearable. So, I had to swing by the Tuck Shop and buy him some threads."

Ethan smiled back. "I'm quite surprised you know his pants size..."

Soon, Johah entered the room, giggling to himself. Both young boys took notice.

"Hey, what's so funny?" Bob asked.

"Oooh, you'll see…" Jonah answered back. "I can't believe that work. And that he's unaware of it as well!"

"Wait, who?" Bob asked. "Who's unaware of it?"

Ethan took a closer look at Jonah, and noticed something…

Both of Jonah's hands had slightly faded blue stains on them.

"Hey, Bob? Did you notice Jonah's hands?" Ethan asked.

Bob shook his head. "No, not really..."

"I've got a feeling that Jonah just pranked someone on here, and the fanbase is gonna freak..." Ethan said out loud.

Frankie soon entered, having rubbed his skin near-raw trying to get the odor of that stink bomb off of himself.

"...Hey." Frankie greeted out loud, as Bob, Ethan, and Jonah stared at him. "...What? What's going on?"

Bob leaned towards Ethan. "Let's try not to pay attention to the you-know-what." He whispered into Ethan's ear.

Ethan nodded back, as he looked over at Frankie.

"Your hair..." Ethan said, as he sported a smile. "It's awesome!"

Bob instantly face-palmed.

Jonah burst out laughing. "HAHAHAHA! I can't believe that actually worked!"

Bob gave off a glare Jonah's way, as he started to approach Frankie.

"Um, Frankie? Please don't freak out too much, but..." Bob asked, as he took out his phone and turned on the camera and snapped a pic of him. He soon handed over the phone.

Frankie looked down at the phone, and was in complete shock.

His hair was dyed a dark blue.

"Wha…? How?" Frankie asked out loud. "...How did this happen?"

Bob looked over at Jonah, who was still laughing uproariously.

"Take a wild guess..." Bob said, as he handed over his puppet, and Frankie put it back on.

"Whoa, Frankie… You're going for the blue look, are you? I heard chicks dig boys with out there hair colors..."

Frankie looked at his puppet with an uncertain look.

"...I look like a freak..." Frankie muttered.

"What? No, you don't!" Bob replied back. "In fact, I know someone with pink hair, and another someone with a green ponytail! And look at some of the other campers with outlandish hair, like Quinn, or Vikki!"

Frankie blushed lightly at the mention of Vikki's name.

"Wait, hold up!" Ethan said out loud, as he observed Frankie's hair closely. "You know… This is a particular color of blue. Like, it's not bright and loud like Kayley's blue, or the blue highlights on Yuki, but it's more of a darker shade of blue."

"Yeah, and even then… She only had blue highlights; she didn't completely dye her hair a dark blue..." Bob noted.

"Exactly. Meaning… Someone wanted to PRANK Frankie!" Ethan theorized out loud. "And I just know the culprit!"

He pointed over at Jonah, who was looking at his camera.

"The true culprit… Is YOU!" Ethan shouted towards Jonah. "Jonah Logan, the Ultimate YouTuber Blogger! Like… Who else would be laughing at Frankie if they wanted to prank him a big one?"

Frankie looked over at Ethan, as he held up his puppet.

"Is this the part where that grey figure morphs into a sadistic looking Jonah?"

Jonah looked over at Ethan, and scoffed. "Why accuse me of pulling off such an awesome prank?"

"Dude, you do this kinda stuff all the time to your friends and random strangers." Bob answered back. "I'm surprised you aren't on any Do Not Fly lists to other random countries at this point."

"SERVANT!" Gabriella yelled from the other side of the cabin. Frankie sighed.

"Well… Back into the Lioness' Den. See you guys later..." Frankie said out loud, as he held up his puppet one final time.

"See ya in the next episode!"

Frankie soon removed his puppet and handed it over to Bob, as he exited the cabin, much to his chargin.

Ethan looked over at Bob. "Maybe I can ask Luka about this? She is the only other one with blue hair as dark as hers..."

"Well, considering she isn't voted off tonight." Bob replied back.

"If she is… Then what?" Ethan asked.


Confessional: I dunno… We eat a salad in her honor?

Jonah: Hey, thought I would bring back an old classic from one of my earlier videos. Thanks for the blue hair dye, Yuki! Anyways, Like-Comment-Subscr-

Ethan: Having blue hair can't be that bad. Fern's got a green mohawk, and she's awesome!


Candace, Kayley, and Nancy's Tent


Meanwhile, the three girls were relaxing in their tent, as they were huddled in front of a board game. Candace rolled a dice, and moved her piece until she hit her destination. She instantly shuddered.

"Ahhhh, welcome to Hotel Willow, where you are bound to have pleasant dreams. Please don't be too alarmed if there's a coven outside around midnight..." Kayley said towards Candace.

"And with that, there goes the last of my money..." Candace grumbled, as she forked over a few bucks over to Kayley. "Man, Monopoly is brutal..."

"You're telling me; I got tossed in the slammer, like, four times." Nancy added. "Guess you win, Kayley."

"Warned ya; that top hat game piece is practically my lucky charm when it comes to Monopoly." Kayley said out loud.

"Right, so… What next? Not like we can do much of anything while we're cramped in this tent, thanks a lot, Gabriella..." Nancy said with a bit of distain at that last word.

"Ooh, how about this one?" Candace asked, holding up a board game labeled 'Ouija'.

Kayley shook her head. "Nah, moon's not in position yet."

"Dude… Is that the game which involves demons and s***?" Nancy asked.

Kayley shook her head. "That's just a stereotype bought up by God fearing mothers from the 80's during the Satanic Panic. Like, even my people had to defend themselves from those freaks back then."

"Still, if it could actually talk to the dead… You think those federal suits would be all over it? Like, tons of cold cases could be solved." Nancy continued. "And I could speak to my folks again. Though they wouldn't be too thrilled at my… Well, dragonfly."

"Wait… Your folks?" Candace asked, concerned. "What happened?"

Nancy suddenly went silent, as the two girls looked at her sincerely. After a few seconds…

"...They were murdered in cold blood when I was five." Nancy spoke softly.

Both Candace and Kayley's eyes went wide in shock.

"Oh, gosh! I'm so sorry, Nancy." Candace said with a sympathetic tone.

"Yeah, same here." Kayley added. "I couldn't even think of both my parents suddenly dying."

Nancy soon looked at the two girls, and smiled at them. "Thanks. But it's alright now; got adopted into a nice fam after a couple months, and they accept me for… Well, who I am, currently."

"Same here." Kayley added. "Even I'm a part of the adopted squad, only my dad was a druggie and my mom only cared about fine wines. House was a mess, so CPS had to step in and remove me. That's when I got taken in by my current fam. Yep, I'm adopted as well and damn proud of it."

Nancy soon held out her fist. "Adoption buds?"

Kayley did the same thing, as the two shared a fist bump. "Adoption buds."

"Hey, gals? Not to interrupt a heartwarming connection or anything, but..." Candace said out loud, getting the two girl's attention. "I think I found our next game! How about this one?"

She soon looked at the box for it.

"Jumanji: A game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind..." Candace read out loud.

Both Kayley and Nancy looked at each other in fear…

"Got anymore of that sleepytime dust you gave Bob?" Nancy asked out loud. "We may need it in case we run into some alligator or something."


Confessional: In the Confessional you must wait, until the dice reads 5 or 8.

Nancy: Okay, we may have not ran into an alligator during our game. Worst that happened to us was it ate some plushie which Candace called Doug. And she also got sucked into a board game. Still, we were total high rollers! We won that game in 15 minutes, tops!

Kayley: I wonder if Candace'll be alright. Like, she was only in the jungle for five minutes… And she came out looking really… different.

Candace: (She is decked out in jungle garb and has facial markings on herself. She is sporting a wide grin, almost looking crazy.) I AM THE CARTOON QUEEN!


Screaming Squids


Currently in the Mess Hall, most of the teammates were discussing the looming vote-off all while eating their meal.

"Alright, so we should get rid of the riff-raff." Danny said out loud. "Meaning we should get rid of someone who'll be a liability."

"Hoooo… I'm not even sure who to vote for..." Xane admitted. "They may get upset, and… I rather not do that, hooo..."

"Then why did you join a reality TV show, genius?" Danny replied back. "Anyways, we should take out Whitney."

"What?!" Whitney spoke up, nearly choking on her food. "Why?!"

"Well… For starters, you're clumsy, you got yourself trapped in something which even a grade schooler could figure out..." Danny listed off. "Heck, even Hannah is more useful. What have you done to wow us?"

"...I survived being ate by a shark, twice?" Whitney shrugged back.

"Hey, come on, guys..." Tina spoke up. "Sure, Whitney may be a bit… loopy, but I just know she has something hidden within, just waiting to be unleashed."

Peter scoffed at Tina's statement. "You been playing way too much Pokemon, Kidtendo. Even I know she's useless."

Tina sighed. "Do whatever… But just note that I'm not going to vote for Whitney."

Hannah also spoke up. "Me too; I'm not voting for you, Whitney."

Whitney smiled at both Tina and Hannah. "Thank you..."

"No prob." Tina replied back. "And don't worry; I already know who to vote for."

"It better not be me!" Peter ordered, pointing at her. "You're not chickening out on our challenge tonight!"

"No, not you too, Peter." Tina continued.

"Then who do we vote for?" Whitney asked her friend.

"Well..." Tina started to say, as she looked around the table. "Where's Ross, Luka, and Zero?"


Meanwhile…


Zero was near some bunnies, as he shared some food with them. He sported a gentle smile on his face.

"Sorry I was gone all day; challenges can be such a bother." Zero said out loud, as the youngest rabbit hopped over to Zero.

The 'Edgelord' soon petted the rabbit on the head.

"At least you guys don't have to worry about trying to apease some jerkass of a father, who is always talking about Doomsday." Zero continued, as he petted the rabbit some more.

SNAP!

Zero looked up from the bunny, as most of the family ran off.

"Who's there?!" Zero shouted out loud, as he held the baby bunny tightly. "Are you here to skin these bunnies? If so, then you can gently and calmly… Slag off!"

"What the?" A male voice spoke up. "You must be kidding; why would we skin a rando bunny?"

"Yeah, that's like, all sorts of wrong!" A female voice added. "Whatta take us for?"

"Wait..." Zero soon realized who those voices belonged to. "...Ross? Luka?"

Both Ross and Luka walked towards Zero, with Luka cuddling the squirrel in her arms. It had a bandage wrapped around its head.

"Dude, is that a bunny in your arms, or are you actually happy to see us?" Ross asked. "In fact… Why do you even have a bunny in your arms?"

"Yeah, even I gotta ask why." Luka added.

"Wouldn't you two like to know?" Zero answered back, as both Ross and Luka nodded. "...Fine."

He gave off a sigh.

"I am more than just this 'Edgelord' you see in front of you." Zero began, as he petted the bunny. "I… Have a soft spot for animals, especially bunnies. All I would rather do is care for them and be practically be buried in them. But there's one problem: My folks. They're really, really strict. Like, beyond strict. Ever heard of the Duugars?"

"I heard of Doogars from Pat, but..." Luka said out loud, as she realized something. "Waaaaiiittt… Aren't they that ultra-religious family with this really huge family?"

"I am highly convinced the patriarch isn't from this world." Ross added. "Like, he is coo-koo for power."

"Guess you two are acquainted with them." Zero continued. "So, my name isn't actually Zero… It's actually Zebediah. Zebediah Smith. Yeah, you can guess why they chose that name for me, it sounds all sorts of religious. Anyways, I'm the oldest of currently 12 kids living in that family. Nearly all of them unwillingly brainwashed with my old man's beliefs. And even if they tried to resist, he has ways of forcing their beliefs upon them. Even if it comes to electric torture… I am just glad my cousin Quant managed to escape with her mind mostly intact."

"Damn..." Ross said, shocked and concerned. "That is like, stupid illegal. Like, can't someone inspect your family? Like CPS or something?"

"One of mom's friends is a CPS worker..." Zero answered back. "They wouldn't be of any help.

"And how'd you even get on this show, anyway?" Luka asked.

"...My folks don't even know I actually signed up for this show." Zero answered back. "For all they know, I'm a Camp Counselor at some shitty illegal Conversion Therapy Camp. But I signed up for this show, and to make sure I am not just found out, and to spit on what they think a proper man should dress like… I changed up my wardrobe into something which would guarantee me a one way passage to the gates of Hell itself."

"And what does that have to do with animals?" Ross asked.

"My old man thinks animals are useless and a waste of time." Zero answered back. "Like, who else can you speak to in the prairie?"

"Probably Ezekiel, but his mind went bonkers after he hid in Chris' plane." Luka said out loud, as she looked over at Ross. "...Too soon?"

"Well… Now you know my true self." Zero finished, as he continued to pet the bunny. "Even if you could, you can't take on my folks; they're much too powerful. Both spiritually and politically. You would be more than doomed if you attempted to do that..."

Zero soon walked away from the duo, as they only stood there.

"Man, this is heavy. Like… We should rescue him from that fam of his." Ross said out loud. "I was even going to vote for him just for being a sub-standard edgelord, but now… I would feel really guilty if I did so."

Luka shook her head. "...No. That ain't no family. That so-called Smith family that Zero's a part of? They're all pricks."

"What about that Quant girl? She was smart enough to run off when she had the chance." Ross pointed out.

"Family is those who love you, no matter what. And… Dammit, I just want to help him, but I'm not sure how." Luka groaned, as the squirrel rubbed against Luka's chest. "Thanks."

"Maybe we should focus on winning first. Then afterwards… We take the fight over to the Smiths and save Zero?" Ross asked.

Luka nodded back. "Yeah, that seems like a good plan. Anything to help out a fellow animal fan."


Confessional: Wow… Quite different, huh?

Ross: Okay, change of plans; voting for Zero is out of the question now. Now the plan is winning this game. Then sending those so-called parents back to whatever planet they came from, cause they are NOT of this world.

Luka: (She is still cuddling the squirrel.) Well, for starters… Zero probably can't return home. At least, not with those nodes in his ears. They would destroy him if he ever returned back there. Maybe I can ask if my friend Angel can take him in? She did take me into the Paws, sooooo… (The squirrel squeaks) You hungry?


The Campfire


The sun has set, as the island was bathed in moonlight. Currently, all 9 of the Squids were sitting around the Campfire, awaiting the host. A select few looked nervous to even be here.

"Hoooo… This is really nerve-wracking." Xane said out loud, cuddling his plant. "Like… What if I got a vote for having a social game? Or for being too powerful of a player?"

"I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm liable to be even more on the chopping block." Hannah replied back, trying to calm Xane down.

"What makes you say that, hooo?" Xane asked.

"Well… I've got Herculean strength, which I don't even know how I've got it." Hannah answered back. "I would be even more of a target cause of that."

Ross held up his hand as he stood up. "Umm… Maybe we outta save our vote for who really deserves it?"

He looked over at Zero, as the host soon arrived, standing behind an oil drum podium. Ross soon sat back down quickly.

"Squids… You really squid'd up today. And soon, one of you will flop outta this contest!" Chris announced out loud. "But first, I like to ask a few questions to you all."

He looked through the contestants, almost seemingly torturing them.

"First… Whitney! You got yourself trapped up in a net today. What are your thoughts on that?" Chris asked.

"Well… I still can't believe that I fell for a trap which an Elementary Schooler like Hannah could disarm. No way I'm having that happen again." Whitney answered back, as Hannah rose her hand.

"Um, I'm a Middle Schooler." Hannah said out loud.

"Second… Xane! What are your plans going into this game, since it's gonna heat up soon?"

Xane looked at the host. "I… hooooo… I'll try my best to make sure any vote offs on our team are ended rather calmly… After all, gotta win for her."

Soon, a gust of wind blew against them, as a leaf flew near Xane's feet. Xane looked behind him to see the tree close to his team's cabin was one leaf shorter.

"Uh-huh..." Chris nodded, as he looked at Tina and Peter. "And finally… Tina! Peter! You two are really eager to tear into each other's throats virtually. Have any words before this match, considering either of you aren't voted off?"

"Well… I do have a few choice words." Peter said, smirking at Tina. "You can suck an egg! I'm gonna cream you so bad..."

"Not unless I cream you first." Tina challenged back.

"Anyways, it's time for you all to vote. Make it a good one!" Chris ordered, as he made his leave temporary.


Once the last camper (Xane) was done, Chris came back with a plate, filled with several marshmallows.

"Campers… You already know what these are. Marshmallows are basically your staple of life here on this island. If I call out your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper without a marshmallow must depart upon the Dock of Shame, and board the Boat of Losers. Where you may never return… EVER." Chris announced, with strong sympheisis on the final word.

He soon picked up the first marshmallow.

"First off… Peter, you're staying." Chris announced, as Peter claimed his marshmallow.

"Tina, your game's not over yet."

Tina claimed her marshmallow, as both Peter and Tina looked at each other.

"Xane? Your chances at the million hasn't wilted yet. Come claim your marshmallow!"

Xane took the marshmallow, though feeling slightly disturbed at the word 'wilted'.

"Luka? You're still on the isle. Claim yours!"

Luka did so, but decided to feed her marshmallow to the squirrel.

"Ross? You don't have to go. The island still needs you."

Ross also claimed his marshmallow with a gentle smile.

"Hannah… You're also safe."

Hannah got up and claimed her marshmallow as well, as Chris looked at the final three still at the campfire. Whitney looked nervous, Danny looked annoyed, and Zero just gave off a scowl.

"Zero… Danny… Whitney… Each of you got a vote each. And for one of you, your game ends here. But that one person isn't going to be..."

"...Whitney. You managed to squeak by with just one vote."

Whitney grinned as she claimed her marshmallow.

The host looked at both Danny and Zero, as he held up the final remaining marshmallow.

"Danny… Zero… This is the final marshmallow of the night. And tonight… The lucky person receiving this marshmallow is..."

"...Danny."

Danny sported a grin, as he claimed his marshmallow.

"Hell yeah!" Danny shouted out loud in glee. "Who's the strongest? I am!"

Zero, meanwhile, just sighed.

"Wait, what?" Ross asked in surprise. "Like… How?"

Chris sported a grin towards Zero. "Sucks to be you, dude. I guess everyone doesn't like edgelords these days. Boat of Losers is that way, buddy!"

Zero got up, and started to make his way towards the boat.


At the far edge of the dock, both Ross and Luka caught up with him.

"Man, this stinks." Ross muttered. "Like, how?"

"...Why didn't you speak up when you had the chance?" Zero asked.

"I was, until Chris shown up. Like, if we could have saved you..." Ross answered back.

"Well… Thanks for trying. Just… You two?" Zero asked.

"Yeah?" Luka asked back.

"...Protect those bunnies. Make sure the host or anyone remotely dangerous doesn't get their mitts on them." Zero requested. "And if any of you come across my old man… Give him one of these."

He soon flipped off a nearby camera, as he boarded the Boat, as it soon sped off.

"I'm sure your old man's been given tons of them!" Ross yelled out at the distance, as the two teens returned to the campfire.

"As for everyone else? You're safe… For now." Chris said, as he made his leave.

"HA! Finally!" Peter breathed a sigh of relief. "Now we can get the TRUE challenge started!"

"Wait, what challenge?" Xane asked.

"Why… Creaming Kidtendo's butt right here." Peter answered back, smirking towards Tina.

"Well… Not unless I cream you first~!" Tina sung out, as the two started to run towards the Mess Hall…


Meanwhile, both Maggie and Dana were standing around the mechanical dragon which was hacked during the challenge. Maggie had a laptop hooked to it, while Dana was cleaning up where the chocolate cricket was tossed.

"Like, how could one chocolate just up and destroy a robotic android?" Dana asked out loud from inside the dragon. "You think they be all futuristic and advanced. Instead, this thing went down without a hitch."

"Yeah, even I am surprised myself." Maggie replied back. "No matter; I can always repair my baby. Cause nothing shall keep MAGGIE REALITY'S KIDS down for too long!"

"Wait, what kids?" Dana asked, stepping out.

Maggie only grinned back at Dana rather excitely.

"Ooooooh, I outta introduce you to them sometime! There's Garlock the Slayer, Brain Z from Planet Genox, Senator Usagi..."

"That last one doesn't sound too bad." Dana pointed out loud.

"The Senator scored me a trophy at a Lightweight Championship one time." Maggie answered back, sporting a grin. "Never underestimate cuteness in the guise of a sandbox… MWHAHAHA."

Beep-Boop!

"Oooh, appears my lappy picked up something!" Maggie sported a wide grin, as she looked at it. "I just knew there was some leftover data from today's earlier hacking!"

Dana took a look at the laptop. On-screen, a more faded out pic of the anime schoolgirl, only it looked more faded out.

"Isn't that the same girl who tried to mock the glory that is Maggie Reality?!" Maggie said, sporting a grin. "Methinks you gotta try better than that, bud! I'm taking you to my lair."

She pressed a button, as the ground around both Dana and Maggie started to lower.

"Gotta admit, she does have a nice dress..." Dana pointed out.

"Yeah, true. But I don't do sleeves that much. How else could I show off all this rad artwork? You know, wow my younger fans, and have them inspire to be just as great as me, only better?" Maggie replied back, as she looked at the laptop. "That, and… I wanna see what makes this thing tick. And I have some far more powerful equipment in my lab."

"Well, alright. I'll continue to clean up your dragon's guts. Have it primed for a future challenge… Whatever it could be." Dana said, as she entered the mouth of the dragon.

Soon, the anime schoolgirl figure on-screen looked at Maggie, feeling rather frightened.

"...Master?"


Chris is on the Dock of Shame, ready to close out the episode.

"And there you have it! Zero's chances have dropped down to match his namesake, and the Squids are down a team member! But… How will they fare? Can Frankie stand up to Gabriella, and get used to his sweet new do? Will Whitney bounce back? What exactly happened with the dragon? And… Who will be the next person eliminated from the island? Find out next time, on..."

"Total!"

"Drama!"

"Diction-"

"The Cartoon Queen knows no bounds!" Candace, still in her jungle outfit, shouted out loud, wielding a spear, with the end of it shaped like a certain cartoon mouse. She soon lobbed the spear, as it landed close to the camera, spooking the host.

"Quick! Cut to credits! Before I'm sacrificed to some jungle god or something!" Chris pleaded out loud, while Candace is sporting a wide grin to the camera as it suddenly cut off.


The Voting Confessionals


Danny: I'm voting for Whitney. She think she's so tough with all those scars and bandages? I'm tougher than she is! So what if she got ate by some shark? Big deal. I can punch like ten of them!

Hannah: Gotta vote Zero. Why? Well, he's an angry edgelord. And while I may also be a bit edgy… I hope to also have a soft center. So… Sorry, Zero.

Luka: Voting for Danny, cause… Who else could I vote for? Everyone else is too kind. (The squirrel squeaks in agreement.) This may wreck my game in the long run… But screw it, we gotta get Zero outta here.

Peter: I'm voting for Zero. Cause Tina's gotta stay if I wanna whoop her butt later on tonight!

Ross: Voting for Danny, cause I want Zero to reach the end, and practically shove his dad's beliefs up his as- (Confessional is suddenly cut off.)

Tina: Voting for Zero, cause… Well, he's an edgelord! They haven't been popular since Sephiroth swish-kabobed some poor sap! That, and Peter challenged me to a game. Soooooo...

Whitney: I gotta vote for Zero. Cause the only thing I know about him, other than disarming that trap I was a part of is… Well, he's edgy. And that's it. I'm quite surprised he didn't drop more F-bombs, to be honest. Would that sound like an edgelord thing to do?

Xane: Hooooo… Gotta vote Zero. I don't know too much about him… This is gonna be a toughie, hooooo...

Zero: Voting for Danny… He seems really destructive.


VOTES

Whitney: Danny

Danny: Luka, Ross, Zero

Zero: Tina, Whitney, Peter, Xane, Hannah


ELIMINATED: Zero


Zero… What can I say about him? I wanted him to turn a few heads by him actually being someone who cares about animals. Heck, even the scariest looking person could be a cuddlebug towards some furry creature or their own pets. And Zero is no exception. In the past, he was far MORE sinister, only to be voted off first. Guess that followed to this incarnation of Zero as well. But his story is just starting… Even if he was booted. We'll just have to wait and see how this develops.

NEXT TIME: ...PokeBalls. Kinda-Sorta? Still... Balls! :D

BaconBaka… OUT!
