The cast were having breakfast after last night's episode and are talking about it
"Who would have thought that Heather would give up on the prize when Jason gave it to her?" Justin blinked
"Not me" Gwen shook her head
"You can say that again" Trent nodded
"You think that white girl will finally turn around after that?" Leshawna asked
"That would depend on how she will approach oddball" Duncan crossed his arms
"I think Jason is perhaps the only person to reach out to her and not be used so much in exchange" Blaineley hummed
"Meaning what exactly?" a few asked
"Heather would still try to use Jason as her tool, but she won't be able to because of his promise" Noah translated
"Oh..."
Speaking of said people... they were in a seperate room with Tyler on a table who was breathing from treatment from the oddball's needles
"That's it Tyler..." Jason smiled "deep breathes"
"Is that needle treatment really working?" the queen bee asked
"It is"he nodded "it's an old method of medicine to keep the energy inside your body balanced" he then chuckled "adding the fact science is trying to figure this method in a logical point is troubling"
"Did you find any?" she questioned
"Only one that can be understood" he looked to the jock relaxing from his treatment "the brain controls the nerves sending out electrical wave signals throughout the body to function and sometimes, be it in growth or genetics, that organ can create faults causing an extra surge of energy from the brain to transfer throughout your body creating clumsy actions in your routine"
"And...?" she gestured him to continue
"Using the needles help slow those surges down" he started to remove the needles from the jock "and putting them on the right spot helps you balance that energy so you won't cause random clumsiness most of the time" he then helped Tyler sit up as he stretched a bit from the metal pokes he had earlier
"How do you feel?"
"A little better" the jock groaned as he still felt the needles even though they were removed "though I'm unsure if it worked"
"Then let's have a test run to assure you"
The cast plus doctor walked out of the hotel and into a park with a basketball court, the jock was inside with and Jason while the rest remained out of the court watching from a distance
"Okay, making a trick shot won't hurt" the oddball called "and don't worry... I'm here with you"
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" the jock asked worried as he looked to the rest of the cast knowing that his clumsy somehow get one of them
"Like I said don't worry" Jason smiled "I'm the doctor remember? I can patch them up"
Tyler gulped as he held the basketball in his hands, he looked to Jason and the guy just gestured to do it
'It's either I'm cured like my guy in the screen...or I have to get another treatment from him'
The jock dribbled the ball a bit and ran to the basket, his mind focused on making the shot
The cast watched him get close, most of them got worried that he would mess up... but were surprised that he made a slam dunk
Tyler panted a bit and looked at his hands with wide eyes 'I...did it?'
His thoughts halted when something or rather someone, was on his person
"Oh Tyler!" Lindsay shouted in glee "you did a great job making that jump!"
"Oh yeah..." Sierra nodded while looking at her phone "the fans from my Tyler blog will be surprised to see this!"
"Congratulations" Jason clapped his hands "you're clumsiness is now controlled"
"That's nice and good and all" Eva spoke out before walking to the oddball "but what about our spar?"
"Oh right" Jason nodded recalling last night before looking to the powerhouse "one match, full contact... first person to deliver one hit on the target wins"
"That's it?" Eva and a few other TD members blinked
"Considering that Chris doesn't want his time wasted" he gestured to the host "that's pretty much all I can offer before we watch the next episode"
"You got that right" Chris nodded with a smile
"Wow odd maggot" Chef crossed his arms "I didn't think you have that much thought"
"That's what I have on my spare time" Jason tapped his "I try to improve my brain"
On the grassy area of the park as Eva and Jason stretched a bit before their spar
"You think that Jason has a chance against Eva?" Cody questioned
"If he can handle Chef" Duncan scoffed "then he can handle her"
"I don't know man" DJ gulped "this is going to be full contact and his battle with Chef was quick one"
"Yeah" Tyler nodded as he rubbed his arm remembering the first he challenged the powerhouse in arm wrestling back at the island
"Relax you guys" Trent smiled "I'm sure Jason just wants to make sure that Eva get her chance to enjoy herself"
"Ready Eva?" the oddball asked
"You bet I am" the powerhouse grinned
"Then let's start!"
Eva jumped forward, delivering a left straight, to which Jason tilted his head to the side and jump away gaining distance, the powerhouse dashed forward and made an uppercut making him move back but she lunged in again making herself close to deliver another straight punch
But she left herself open making the oddball fall on his back and use his feet with the momentum he has to make the powerhouse push to her back before hitting the ground
"Ugh!" she grunted upon hitting the grass she breathed in a bit before grinning "I gotta say... you're good at dodging my attacks"
"I know you haven't slacked since your elimination from season 1" he returned with a smirk of his own "not to mention if I fight back...this spar would be over the moment you dived in"
"Then let's see if I can make a scratch on you" she boasted before standing back on her feet readying herself once more
The spar continued with Eva pushing herself forward with her punching. Jason either blocked her attacks, dodge or making her lose balance and hit the ground...
"Man" Cody blinked "that spar is getting intense"
"You said it bunnyface" Sierra grasped his hand
"It's actually a surprise that he hasn't even fought back since it started" Noah hummed seeing them continue
"Maybe J wants to see Eva keep up with her?" Owen suggested
"Or maybe he wants to finish in one strike like he said earlier" Izzy grinned
"Ready to stop Eva?" the oddball smirked
"Not until a hit's been made to either of us..." Eva starting to feel dizzy from throws throws she got as her stance wobbled
'One hit, that's all...' he thought before dashing toward Eva
The powerhouse saw him get close and went on the attack using a left hook hoping to hit him there
But all she felt was thin air...
Jason ducked down and balled his left hand tight and delivered a straight punch to her gut
Eva felt the hit on her and was sent skidding across the grass before falling to her knees feeling the wind knocked out of her lungs
The Total Drama cast were stunned at seeing one of the strongest, if not the strongest of them was beaten easily
"How do you feel?" the oddball asked as he went to her
"Beaten" she grunted while trying to breathe in control "but somehow satisfied"
"That's good" he nodded before taking one of her arms onto his shoulder "I recommend you drinking cold water and juices for a moment, at least until your stomach feels better before you take in solid chunks of food"
"I'll keep that in mind" the power house groaned as her free arm is still around her gut
"That was some spar they had" Justin spoke after getting his bearings "it looks like an actual fight at the last part"
"No kidding" Geoff shivered a bit "it almost like he was sure to pummel someone"
"Easy you two" Trent raised his arms "let's not put that into our heads"
"He's right" Gwen nodded "we've already had nightmare fuel when Jason unleashed his monstrous side on the big screen"
"Don't remind us..." the rest shuddered still having those memories of the oddball looking dangerous at Duncan and Alejandro
Inside the theater, the cast sat down and waited for Chris to play the episode
Jason was in the kitchen cooking breakfast for his parents like he always does
"It's nice to be back home" he smiled as he placed food on the table "I wonder if my parents watched me in that show?"
"Oh we saw it" a pair of voices spoke
He turned around to see his parents smiling at him
The dad has average height and skin tone, short black hair swept to the right and brown eyes. He wore a white polo shirt with a lab coat, blue pants and black boots. He even had the ID clipped on with his name: James Thompson
The mom was the same in complexion only leaning to slightly lighter side, shoulder-length black hair in a bob cut and green eyes. She wore a gray blouse, black long pants and short heel shoes she also had her doctor coat on, her collar had the ID clipped on it: Carla Thompson
"Those 2 are your parents?" a few of them blinked at seeing Jason's family
"I can see why you are called oddball in the family" Duncan commented "you don't even look like them"
"Don't try to think too hard on how different I am" Jason spoke "it's better to just nod and move on"
"Right..." some of them nodded
"Hi mom, dad" he waved to them "or should I say doctors"
The parents laughed a bit at his words before shaking their heads
"Oh Jason, you know that you say that word when we're at work"
Both of them sat down at the table with Jason and ate before deciding to talk with him about his experience in the show
"So son" the doctor smiled "please tell us how it went through your eyes"
"Yes Jason" the scientist nodded "May's right, how'd it go for you?"
"I'll tell you" he smiled and thought of one thing before he started telling his escapades 'I wonder how the others are doing?'
In Gwen's home she was in the living room with her goth friends discussing her sudden act of evil
"I can't believe you went and did that" one of them spoke in disbelief
"Yeah" the second goth nodded "who knew you had it in ya?"
"Alright, alright" the third called "that's enough Reef and Slack"
"Thanks Pats" Gwen's sighed before rubbing her eyes "here I thought Reef and Slack could handle it from the screen"
"Tell me about it" the goths sighed
"You told them?" Trent arched his brow
"I had to" she sighed "and I know you or Leshawna wouldn't want me to talk about it since I'll be too guilty to continue in the Aftermath show"
"You said it girl" the sassy sister nodded "it's a touchy subject for you and us"
"I may have expected you to like that rebel punk Duncan" Reef sighed "But it just shocked me that he was able to get you in World Tour"
"You can say that again" Slack agreed before shivering "that oddball sure knows how to scare someone when he became a monster"
"Just be glad he's giving chances" Pats added "or else you'd be in the same condition as that punk"
"Ain't that the truth" Gwen nodded before sighing "I just hope I can get over this"
Tyler was in a good mood, very much so in fact, ever since his treatment with Jason his clumsiness was put in a minimum and helped his mom on the delivery of hot coffee calming his dad down from the expected morning experience
"Man you're pops must be very glad to not feel that anymore" DJ commented
"Yeah" Trent agreed "he's one tough guy to stay with her"
The jock just smiled, knowing his dad won't leave because of that
"Thanks son"
"No problem dad" Tyler smiled
"Hey Tyler" his mom called "you think I could get a treatment from your odd friend?"
"I'll see if he's available" the jock noted
Lindsay was on her bed sighing happily thinking on a certain someone "I won't have to worry about Tyler's problem on our dates from now on" she giggled while hugging her pillow tight "thank you for helping him J..."
"Did your boyfriend hurt you on those dates?" a few girls couldn't help but ask that
"Only a few" the bombshell smiled "even though he'd hurt me time to time, he's careful about it"
"Yeah" Beth followed "Lindsay told me that about a few of those dates" she smirked a bit "Tyler would have some trouble thanks to his clumsiness"
That caused a few of the cast to laugh making the jock blush and grumble a bit in embarrassment but felt a pat on his back
"You don't have to worry about that anymore" Jason smiled "no more making of messes toward your girlfriend"
Tyler smiled and nodded in thanks, remembering his treatment earlier, he'll have no problem hurting his girlfriend so often or keep himself distant from her on fear of hurting her
Harold grumbled as he crossed his arms from the finale of the World Tour season "I can't believe he won" he then rubbed his jaw and winced at the memory "I'll get him back one day..."
"Good luck with that Harold" a few guys sneered at the nerd
"My guy can do it" Harold huffed not knowing how wrong he is
Jason shook his head at the wimp's declaration 'still in denial'
While he was on his thoughts... his family, parents and younger siblings, was watching him from the doorway before walking away to leave him and make conversation about it
"Harold's not being himself lately"
"The others may have gotten payback for his antics...but I think none of them would make a lasting effect like Jason did"
While the parents talked about Harold's thoughts, the younger kids talked about the oddball
"You think that he will come here?" one of them asked
"Possibly" the second nodded "but later, after all... he has issues with traitors"
Harold crossed his arms and grunted at the scene ignoring the snickers around him
"You think there's a chance that Harold will embarrass himself later on the screen?"
"That's going to be a yes if he keeps lying to himself"
Ezekiel was in a similar situation as he and his dad are running away from his mom holding a frying pan
"GET BACK HERE YOU TWO!" she screamed in fury "I'M NOT DONE TEACHING YOUR LESSON YET!"
"How did we get into this mess!?" the dad screamed
"It's because we told her!" he replied in fear "keep running!"
The homeschool and his dad kept their pace while she continued with her threat on giving them a lesson in the chase
"About time that idiot got what he deserved" a few women smirked at Ezekiel's dilemma
"Hopefully he puts his brain in action after that" Bridgette hoped
"Don't worry Bridge" Geoff smiled "he'll get it to work" he said before scratching his head "somehow..."
In a park, a certain couple was having a picnic under a tree enjoying each other's company
Cody was eating the food while Sierra smiled at seeing her boyfriend enjoy his meal
"These are great Sierra" he spoke before getting a second helping
"I'm happy to hear that Cody" she giggled before taking a bite of her food 'thank you Jason for teaching me how to cook'
"Lucky guy..." a few men grumbled in envy at seeing the geek enjoying himself with his girl at the moment
Cody rubbed his head in embarrassment
Sierra just giggled before turning to her doctor making a quiet question to which he responded with a nod
After eating, the geek lied down on his girlfriend's lap as she lightly rubbed her hand on his head making him sigh happily, both of them were enjoying moment with a gentle breeze around them
"This date sure is nice" Cody looked at his girlfriend "a nice place to relax with just the two of us not caring about other things"
"It sure is..." Sierra giggled "in another date, I'll show you a place where my BBF works sometimes"
That part got most of the cast to blink a bit before turning to the oddball, which made the guy chuckle
"Remember that second job I keep mentioning?" he said making them nod "that's actually where Hana and her family works in"
"So instead of you taking the chances of being part of the show" Noah guessed "you stayed with your sister in the family business"
"That's right" he nodded "and if you're going to ask me about it... I had a wonderful time working there and I have decent pay grade, not to mention that I'm with familiar people there"
"Good for you" a few of them smiled
Eva was with her family doing the usual routine of working out and her parents are with her as they all lifted weights in silence
The cast stared at the scene and felt a little scared. They thought that only Eva was the strong person in the family, but apparently all of them are powerhouses...
"Anyone feeling scared at seeing that?" Justin questioned getting raised arms from the majority of the crowd
"I'm now officially scared at going to her place when she'll say you're invited to dinner" a few gulped
"Come on guys" Izzy spoke "they're not so bad"
"You've been invited before?" Geoff and Bridgette asked
"A few times" the crazy girl smiled "they just don't express much that's all"
Eva crossed her arms at that, but then again, she and her parents have stone-faced expressions most of the time and the common emotion to be seen by the others were irritation, anger or a smirk
After the exercise, they looked at each other for a few seconds before making conversation
"So Eva" the dad spoke "when is your friend visiting us?"
"I'd like to meet him too" the mom nodded "it's unlikely that our daughter got a smile on her face"
"You can say that again..." a few cast members plus Chris and Chef muttered lowly
"The season got him tired" Eva said "so he'll be resting, he will call us when he has to" she then grinned a bit "he did promise to spar with me after all"
Duncan was in his room looking out the window being uncharacteristically quiet right now
"Okay" the punk crossed his arms "what's my guy doing right now?"
"I think he was thinking on the scar he has" Beth suggested
He slightly rubbed his chest and flinched a bit from the memory 'I can't believe he did that' he frowned 'thanks to that attack, I'm hesitating to make fire'
"What?!" the punk stood up from his seat in shock "me? Afraid of fire!?"
"That's something unexpected" Noah blinked before writing that down on his notebook
"Yeah" Gwen agreed "Back at the island he said it to me himself in the psycho killer challenge that he likes burning stuff"
"True that" a few others nodded
"I think it fits" Blaineley hummed in thought
"What are you talking about?" Justin, Katie, Sadie and Beth questioned
"I can see it too" Sierra followed "back then, no one had the guts to confront Duncan face to face" she turned to Cody "Codykins only struck him after finding out the affair he had with Gwen" she then looked back to the screen "and Jason made sure that he will learn his mistake after that mistake"
Danny and Martha came in the room to check up on him
"Duncan..." his mother called with slight worry in her voice "are feeling any better?"
"A little" he replied "but I still want to get oddball back for the scar I now have"
"Wow Duncan" a few gulped "even though you set better traps at the last episode, you still want revenge?"
"Can any of you get over of the fact that oddball just gave a scar on somebody?" Noah questioned out loud
And the only answer from that was silence by the cast while some of them just shiver at imagining the burning feeling
"Didn't that happen back in the season finale of World Tour?" Danny arched his brow
"It was only for a short time" the punk sighed "and I want to confront him myself for it"
"All right" both parents nodded in understanding "but first, we'll have you treated with therapy from the incident in that show"
"That's cool" he nodded "I'd like to make fire again with my hands soon"
"At least you'll get back on your feet" Justin commented "if it were me, I'd kiss my modeling career goodbye" he shivered at imagining a scar on his well sculpted body
Courtney was in her home eating, she was being unusually calm from the whole ordeal of her emotions in World Tour... even her parents can't help but feel worried at what's going in her mind right now
"Isn't this the part where you started ranting about how you were the one to take the winning prize that season?" Duncan sneered
"Shut it!" the CIT glared at him for bringing it up for the others to hear
"Does that happen here too?" the oaf asked before flinching a bit when Courtney's glare was turned toward him
"Pretty much" Duncan answered "It happened when we started dating back in season 1, and in season 2 when I visited her place a after few days after the finales"
'At least there's something for you to reason at backstabbing Courtney' Jason thought at the punk's words
"I feel bad for oddball when has to go through that" Noah shivered a bit "if he's going to check on her about that, then I hope he can handle it"
Courtney finished her plate an wiped her mouth clean with the cloth and stood up "thank you for the meal" she said before walking to her room upstairs
The parents watched her go in silence and when they heard a door closing, they finally spoke
"Do you think Courtney will be okay?"
"That's not up to us... as much as we want to help her, she's the type of person to deny her problems"
"Ain't that the truth" Harold spoke to which he got a smack on the head via Courtney's fist
"Don't you ever try to think things?" Geoff can't help but ask that question
"It's pretty much his thing to say the obvious" Noah rolled his eyes "and do them if his ego said so"
"I'm going to make a wild guess here" Cody lifted a finger "if Harold will be eliminated, pain will be there... lots of it"
"Or maybe he'll receive the wrath of his teammates?" Tyler and Trent suggested
"You got that right guys" the others nodded
The wimp crossed his arms in denial at how right they are
Courtney sat on her bed thinking about a certain oddball and his actions at her in the show, he was perhaps the only one that didn't have any bad feelings against her
'What do I do?' she turned to the table and saw a small piece of paper that was given to her after the finale
'If you ever need a talk' his voice echoed 'just make a call and I can visit you'
Those words struck her with conflict right now and decided to rest for a bit longer to calm down then call him
Jason was now alone as his parents were at work and won't be back until dinner
He went to the living room and saw his prize money, he smiled at the case and shook his head
"I almost forgot about that" he took the briefcase and set on the table "better start counting so Heather can have her half"
"You're really going through with that?" Noah and a few others blinked at the scene
"Hey my guy already said it at the finale" Jason huffed "besides, it will leave a bad taste in my mouth if I don't keep my word"
"That will get you back someday" Duncan muttered after seeing Owen's kindness back at season 2
Jason counts the bill stacks in the case and was able to divide them equally after a recheck
"Whew" he wiped his head "alright, I'm done counting" he turned to the window and saw the sky turn dark
"It's that time already?" he blinked before sorting the divided pile separately before walking to the kitchen "better make dinner for my parents since they'll be back late"
After making their plates and leaving a note, the oddball went to the garage. He smiled at seeing a vehicle covered in a tarp and rubbed his hands in glee
"It's nice to see you again my friend" he laughed a bit and grabbed the cloth "I can't wait to use you"
"What kind of ride did you have under there?" a few guys questioned feeling edgey, hell... even Chef wants to know too
He pulled it away to reveal a custom made bike; it was a sleek design of gray frame and blue plastic glass, a pair of headlights and small wings at the front and back end
All in all... the vehicle was designed to be fast and look like it was made from science fiction
"Speed Rocket" the oddball said remembering his first time building it "it's time to feel the wind again"
"Sick ride man!" Geoff smiled
"Yeah!" Owen nodded "that's some bike you got!"
"I gotta ask man" DJ called "did you make it yourself?"
"Nope" Jason shook his head "it wasn't made by me alone, Ashlynn and my sister Hana helped me make that" he smiled at the memory of building that bike "it took all 3 of us to make it possible and thankfully one explosion was enough to figure it out"
"It exploded!?" most them shouted in shock and disbelief
"Like I said, it was custom-made" the oddball chuckled at their reaction "it took a lot of work to make it happen"
At the streets... any people that are on the streets saw a blur pass by them, they blinked for a few seconds before walking again knowing the one person who would be that fast
Jason stopped at reaching his destination with a smile on his face under the helmet he wore, he got off his bike and walked to a building with a symbol of a small house with the word food on it
"No way..." Blaineley spoke, the rest plus Chris and Chef were stunned in silence at seeing the symbol of the building, she turned to oddball with wide eyes "you work in the Food House!?"
"Yep" Jason nodded "that's my second job"
The oddball walked to the door and saw the sign was saying closed
'Just in time' he smirked before walking inside making some workers look at him before going wide eyed
"Hey" he waved
A half minute of silence was from them at seeing him before they ran towards Jason and hugged the guy making him lose his balance before regaining posture
"Oddball!"
"It's great to see you in person again!"
"You really got yourself the spotlight ya know?"
"Easy now guys" Jason smiled as he and the rest calmed down "by the way is Hana around?"
"She's at the back, checking on what we'll be needing to resupply" one of them said before calling her out "Hana! Get out here! There's someone who wants to see you!"
"I'll be out soon!" her voice spoke from the backroom "I'm almost done checking the supplies!"
A few minutes passed and Hana finished with her task and walked into view; she wore her work clothes a standard business suit with low heels while holding a pen and record book
"Now who's calling for m-?" her words stopped and dropped her things upon seeing the person in front of her
"Hi Hana" Jason spoke with a smile on his face
"NII-CHAN!" she screamed happily before tackling her brother to the floor "you're finally back!" she then started to lightly pound his chest "baka!" she sniffled with her eyes welling up a bit "didn't you realize how worried I was when I saw you do those dangerous challenges in the show!?"
"Sorry, sorry" Jason smiled as he let her pound him a bit more "but I'm here with you now... and that's what matters"
Hana huffed and puffed her cheeks before turning away from him making the people watching laugh at the scene
The cast was pretty much feeling the same though it was only by smiles and snickers
"That was a good laugh" Trent smiled
"And cute too" Lindsay and Beth giggled
"Oh totally" Sadie nodded
"It's a such nice moment..." Katie squealed in delight "Jason get's to be with his sister again!"
Jason then spoke about making a dish for her and the staff as a make up for his long absence
The group sat down on a table and talked for a bit
"I can't believe this is happening to us!" one of the staff members said in glee
"Oh calm down Cricket" the second staff member rolled her eyes "keep that up and you get less food from the plate"
"Mila is right Cricket" the third staff member nodded in agreement "not to mention that there's still the reservation for tomorrow"
"Lance is right minna" Hana nodded as she read the record book "the reservation for tomorrow is for a big family"
"Reservation?" Harold blinked "isn't the Food House open to the public?"
"Not surprising that you'd forget the other part" Blaineley shook her head
"Harold, the Food House is famous for it's dual set style" Trent spoke "a big public area; focusing on common everyday dishes. And a small reserve area where special dishes are made from a different menu"
"And the only condition for those kinds of dishes" Justin added "is that you must be in a group of at least 3 people to get a reservation"
"They even have separate kitchens for those areas too" Leshawna started to sigh "it's really hard to get the reservation area with the dishes there being so pricey"
"What would you expect from the reserves?" Jason interjected "the dishes there are more complex to make for groups"
"Hey oddball" Noah called "since you never joined the show...did you, by chance, have apprentices to help you"
"Why yes" he nodded "since my profession is being a therapist, extra hands were needed when I got an appointment with the patient"
"So how many apprentices did you have under you?" DJ questioned feeling curious
The oddball hummed on that "about 4 apprentices right now"
"That few?" a few of them blinked
"The reserve area isn't really used much since the prices there are high due to to the dishes being a bit more complex" Jason answered "not to mention some of them are served in a big platter"
"Alright" Jason smiled as he delivered a dish for his staff friends "my special work for you guys" the dish was hot pizza but the toppings were mixed; shrimp, squid and some tomato slices "seafood pizza"
"Oh man..." Owen's stomach growled at seeing the dish before he started eating his snacks to calm down "that looks good!"
"You can say that again" DJ nodded "it looks appetizing"
"Alright!"
Most of them took a couple of slices and sighed at the taste
"Oh man that's the stuff" Cricket smiled
"You said it" Lance agreed "it really makes you feel like being in a high class restaurant"
"It's really lucky that Jason works here" Mila nodded "even thought it's part time"
"I'm glad you three like it" Jason smiled before he took a slice "is business strong without me?"
"You bet it is" Cricket nodded "though we might need help for the reservation tomorrow"
"How many tables will it be and what time?" the oddball asked
"About 3 tables long" Hana hummed "and was set in lunchtime"
"Good, we can check in the morning and restock some supplies just in case"
"Agreed"
After a quick clean up and goodbyes, Jason and Hana mounted on the bike and went to the latter's home
"Hey oddball!" Chris called from his booth "you think Chef and I can have a reservation in your second job?"
Jason laughed at the host's words "you're talking to the wrong person about getting a reservation"
Chris crossed his arms at not getting that chance
Chef on the hand just laughed "he's got ya there Chris"
Upon arriving there they saw Hana's parents waiting for them
"Tou-chan, kaa-chan" Jason's sister smiled as she got off the bike "tadaima"
"Welcome home Hana" they smiled before looking at Jason "I see that you're here also"
"Of course" he nodded "I have to make up to her for being away a long time" he then rubbed his head in embarrassment "besides...I can tell she wants me to be close again Mr. and Mrs. Higashikata"
But then he got himself a flick on the forehead from the mother
"Mou" she huffed a bit "after I gave you some lessons about being formal, you still kept it up towards your guardian family"
"Sorry aunt Mayu" Jason chuckled "just wanted to feel some nostalgia upon meeting you back in my childhood"
"Alright, alright that's enough" Hana's dad stepped in "let's get in the house now and have dinner"
"Okay uncle Ben" he smiled making Hana giggle before she latched onto his arm
All of them went in to have a nice dinner, the parents went ahead to get some shuteye leaving Hana and Jason alone together in the living room enjoying the quiet moment together
The oddball was holding his sister in his arms as she had her head on his chest humming happily as she listened to his heartbeat
"Hey oddball" Duncan spoke "was your sister a bit clingy as you try to help her back on her feet?"
"Yep" the oddball nodded "let me tell ya, she has quite the grip and tore a few shirts on my person since she's afraid to lose me after the heartbreak"
"Yikes" a few said feeling sorry at imagining that
"I really miss moments like this with you nii-chan" Hana smiled
"Me too" Jason agreed as he rubbed her back a bit making her sigh happily before suddenly stopping "but we have a big day tomorrow, so we need to get sleep soon"
"Aw" she pouted a bit "okay nii-chan, but promise me you will be there with me"
"I will" he nodded as she went to her room and get ready for bed
The oddball was alone now and he saw a few picture frames across the room, he smiled before going to them and have a closer look
One was a picture of him and Hana as kids with their parents side by side smiling happily together
"I still remember the moment where you hide behind them on our first meeting" he smiled at the memory
Another one was a picture of the two of them as teenagers along with Ashlynn next to Hana and had the vehicle Speed Rocket in the foreground
"Me, my sister and her best friend in our first tackle of a group project" he laughed a bit at remembering the struggles on how Speed Rocket was designed and built
Lastly the third frame held Hana, her parents and Jason with staff members in front of the Food House building
"It's hard to believe that this happened throughout the years" he started to yawn "better get to Hana's room before she starts moving in her sleep"
He went upstairs towards his sister's room and quietly entered, he saw Hana sleeping in her bed 'good, I made it in time' he went to her bed before being grabbed by his wrist and was pulled into her arms
The cast blinked at the scene... they were too stunned at the moment from the action and couldn't verbally comment
Even Chef and Chris couldn't even speak at all
'Lucky guy/bastard' some guys grumbled at Jason being so close to a girl and not get hit in return
The oddball shook his head but had smile on his lips 'even though I never left her here...she would still do that to me time to time'
'At least she didn't lock my arms' he hummed before turning to her and pat the girl's head making her smile
"Nii-chan won't leave " he soothed before closing his eyes 'goodnight Hana'
At the Food House, the public side was already being served to a particular couple from TD
"Oh yeah" the geek remembered that moment with some dates with Sierra
"Something on your mind?" Courtney questioned
"Bunnyface is just remembering our dates" Sierra giggled "and that place was my first thought before the All-Stars season"
"This is delicious!" Cody gasped as he ate his plate of eggs and sausages
"I'm glad that you're enjoying this place Codykins" Sierra giggled as she ate her plate of spaghetti
Inside the reserve area's kitchen, Jason was cutting the ingredients into portions he bought earlier
Alongside him was another chef; he was about Jason's height, tan skin but a lighter complexion with a grey bandanna instead of a common toque on his head covering his dyed blue hair
"Hey Ray" he called as he finished cutting the cabbage
"Hm?" the guy turned after placing the last tomato he cleaned into the container
"Made any new recipes while I was gone?"
"Nothing yet, besides... with you now being a celebrity, I doubt there's a chance we could have our rival dish battle as usual"
"Hey J" Owen spoke "since you never left us... was that Ray person your apprentice?"
"Only for the first few weeks after he was hired" the oddball "after that, he became my rival in serving dishes"
After storing the portioned ingredients away, both of them looked at the clock to see it was almost time for the reservation
"Who do you think will be coming in today?" Ray asked "I'm guessing it's another business group who wants to relax"
"I'm more inclined to a family outing" Jason countered "after all, most reservations tends to be those people"
In the dining room Hana was guiding the customers to their tables which was none other than Noah and his family
The bookworm blinked at the scene before remembering oddball's main job 'this took place after the season, and he did say that Sierra needed help on her stalking problem'
After sitting down on a table Hana called out to the chefs that will take their order
"Noah?" Jason blinked in surprise
"Oddball?" Noah returned feeling just as surprised "what are you doing here?"
"I work here" he answered "as a part-timer"
"That would explain why your food is so good" the bookworm rolled his eyes
After some more word exchange Jason and Ray went back to the kitchen and started to cook their orders
Leaving the bookworm alone to be bombarded with questions by his family
"Who knew that you would meet your former team leader?"
"And what a surprise that he even worked here"
"Do you think we could get his autograph?"
"Now, now" Jason interrupted as he and his fellow chef came in with food "first you eat...and then we talk"
Noah's family was eating their orders and were feeling bliss upon having it in their mouth
"So...good!"
"I'll never get tired of this taste!"
"I'm so glad that we got a reserve today!"
Noah struggled to keep his composure from his family and relatives but he kept on eating and tears were spilling out of his eyes
'To think that oddball works here' he choked a bit 'I feel so inferior right now...but it's so good!'
"Take it easy Noah" Trent teased
"Yeah" DJ followed "aren't you taking it a bit overboard?"
"If you guys were able to get one reservation in that place, which I doubt" Noah retaliated though he was slightly embarrassed that they are watching him react that way "then we'll see if you think I'm overdramatic"
After having a meal made by the oddball, the latter was now writing autographs to his fans
'If this is what celebrities go through upon being seen by the public...then I hope I can handle it' he thought as he finished signing
"Thank you so much!" they smiled happily
After they left the place, Jason sighed a bit and leaned against the wall to stay up "that was something"
"It seems that we will be needing help for the reserves" Ray smiled as he looked at his friend's condition
"You got that right" the oddball nodded "I'll have to make arrangements with Hana and her parents to get you some help in this part of the restaurant"
"That's greatly appreciated" he nodded before chuckling 'I think you being a celebrity will get this reserve area more customers now'
"And thus the start of finding J's apprentices begins" Izzy spoke like a storyteller getting some laughs from the cast members
Jason and Hana were on Speed Rocket going somewhere
"Are we going to see Ashlynn nii-chan?"
"Yes we are" he nodded "I went to you first since I know you miss me badly"
They drove in silence for the next minutes before stopping in front of a building with the Mechtenance board on it
"Here we are" he smiled as he and his sister went inside
"Can I help you?" one of the workers asked upon seeing them
"I'm here to see Ashlynn" Jason spoke removing his helmet "I have an appointment with her"
"Ah, it's you" he realized "I'll get her!"
"So you finally came?" Ashlynn's voice spoke as the girl walked into view
She was wearing a full tracksuit half-zipped with the sleeves tied around her waist, wore gloves and held a wrench before placing it on her shoulder presenting herself as a tough worker
"Sorry that I didn't see you when I got back" Jason pointed to Hana "you know how worried she can be about me"
"Oi!" she shouted in embarrassment
"I don't blame her" the mechanic laughed "between the two of us...you are much better at reaching her heart" she then looked at the bike "let's get that thing checked now"
After some time Ashlynn finished the check up on Speed Rocket and wiped her forehead "whew"she smiled "even though I know that this was our project build, it's still complicated fix it"
"This is a special made vehicle"Jason smiled "of course it will be hard to remember it"
The three shared a laugh before the oddball and her sister left the mechanic to her job
Jason and Hana traveled a bit and stopped by a house
"What are we doing here nii-chan?"
"Just visiting an... energetic friend from the show"
"Oh boy" most of the cast gulped at who he was referring to
They went to the door but Jason pushed her to the side
"Stay there Hana" he said calmly "I wouldn't want you in the crossfire"
A knock was made and the door opened to reveal a lady answering it
"Yes?"
"I'm here to see Izzy" the oddball smiled
"One moment" she turned around and called to her daughter "Izzy! You're odd friend is here!"
A moment of silence was made for a few seconds before loud steps were heard and a voice was happily screaming
"J!" the crazy girl tackled the guy sending the both of them to ground creating a dust cloud
"Damn..." a few gulped at the crazy girl's action "am I glad that I'm not receiving her affections"
"It's good to see you too" he groaned before sitting up "did you really have to do that so soon?"
"I've waited a long time to see you again" Izzy grinned "besides, it's in my bucket list to do that"
Hana gaped at what just happened for a few seconds before she ran to her brother
"Nii-chan!" she cried in worry "daijobu?"
"Ugh, I'm fine Hana" Jason groaned as Izzy still clung to his body "why don't we get to know each other inside?"
"Yes!" another spoke before revealing to be Izzy's dad "let's have a party with my girl's love interest!"
They went inside to have a chat, after a while Izzy and her parents laughing at the stories Jason's activities before joining Total Drama
"You literally tried to conquer your fear of heights by bungee jumping?" Izzy's dad smiled "never thought you'd go do the extreme"
"Wait you'd do that?!" a few cast members looked bewildered or in disbelief at the oddball
"Yep" Jason nodded "I was young back then, and young minds tends to be more curious than cautious"
'I'm starting to see some parallels between you and Izzy...' Noah, Trent, Geoff, Bridgette and Gwen thought as they looked between him and the crazy girl before shivering
"Well it was either that or I do the highwire..." the oddball smiled before snickering "and I'd rather get the screaming out of me sooner"
Izzy fell to the ground as he laughed at imagining that and was now grinning like usual as she wheezed a bit "Oh J, you really are something"
But then ringing was heard, all activity stopped as the oddball took out his cellphone
"So Courtney made her move" he smiled before answering the call "hello?" he heard her voice through his ear "ah, so you're ready to have a talk with me?"
"Yes I am" the CIT said through the phone "I'd like to meet you directly...face-to-face"
"Okay" Jason nodded "send me your location and I'll be there"
"You're leaving?" Izzy blinked before pouting "but we're having fun right now"
"Sorry" the oddball smiled sadly "but Courtney sounded like she needs help"
"And you know by now Izzy" Hana giggled "nii-chan cares for people"
"Alright I'll let you go" she huffed "but I want something in return right now"
"What is it?"
The crazy girl grinned as she pointed to her lips "a kiss"
"WHAAAT!?" most of the cast shouted stood up in disbelief at what they just heard
"I can't believe I just heard Izzy say that" Chris blinked
"You got that right" Chef followed 'never thought that crazy maggot would want odd maggot so soon'
Izzy smiled wide at what her girl said 'I like that idea' she then turned to Jason as the guy shook his head with a smile on his lips 'maybe I should do that too'
"K-k-k-KISS!?" Hana and Izzy's mom shouted with their faces completely red at Izzy's words
"Atta girl!" Izzy's dad cheered with a grin "go get your man!"
"You're asking for something big" the oddball chuckled "is it really what you want?"
"I do!" Izzy nodded "I already told you that I like you when I got eliminated"
"All right" he nodded before turning to his sister "you should turn around and cover your ears"
Hana did just that while Izzy's parents looked at him in confusion
"Is there something we're missing?"
"Let's just say that your daughter won't be able to think after I'm done with her"
"Should we follow Hana's action?" a few of them blushed at the thought of seeing a kissing scene
"Go ahead" Jason said nonchalantly "but if you do that, then you'd be surprised upon seeing the next season"
DJ, Owen, Beth, Lindsay, Katie, Sadie, Tyler,Bridgette, Geoff and Justin shut their eyes and covered their ears leaving the remaining cast to brace themselves as they gulped from the upcoming scene
"Ready Izzy?"
"You bet I am!"
The oddball grabbed her shoulders and his mismatched eyes looked directly to her green ones, the crazy girl felt her body turn warm as she looked at him then her lips was pressed against his
A second passed and Jason wrapped his arms around Izzy surprising her as the kiss became deep and she was at his mercy, her eyes started to roll as the kiss turned intense and a blush appeared on their faces
"...damn..." Duncan, Blaineley, Leshawna and Noah were dumbstruck at seeing such a move from Jason
For those who can't comment on the scene...their eyes bugged out and jawdropped at seeing it
Though a few of them were able to comment it in their heads
'How is he so forward with this!?' Courtney blushed heavily
'I didn't think that he'd go through with it!' Heather shouted in her head in disbelief
'If I wasn't guilty about hurting Cody and Courtney's feelings after seeing it again' Gwen crossed her arms as a light blush stained cheeks 'I'd be jealous right now...'
Izzy was the only calm since this is about her and Jason 'I'm so jealous of myself right now...' the crazy girl huffed before turning to Jason as a blush formed on her cheeks
The kiss lasted for 10 seconds and Jason pulled away to get a breather, he looked at Izzy as she now has; glazed eyes, a heavy blush and a dopey smile
The oddball waved his hand in front of her "yep she's out of it" he then turned to the parents
Izzy's dad was in a similar state and was remembering something if the red face and happy look was anything to go by while the mom was in disbelief as her face was in a shade of a ripe tomato
"W-was that... really n-necessary?" she stuttered
"Izzy did ask for it" he smiled "if they don't wake up after some finger snapping... splash them with ice cold water"
Jason and Hana went back out and walking toward their motorbike
"Nii-chan"
"Yes Hana?"
"Can we stop by my house please?" she rubbed her arms "When Izzy asked for a kiss, it made me remember the time when I asked for it and I need a cold shower to calm down"
"Okay" he nodded "a quick stop to your place then we go to Courtney"
"Hey oddball" Duncan spoke as he finally got composure "did your sister ask that before?"
"She did" Jason nodded "though her reaction at realizing what she just asked" he laughed a bit "she fainted"
"That's some slow reaction" Harold rolled his eyes getting glares from the others
"You try forgetting the pain in your heart from a selfish jerk" he countered with a smirk making the nerd silently growl
Courtney was in a park sitting on a bench waiting quietly for Jason to arrive
"Anyone care to guess how this will turn out?" Chris called out to the cast
"Nope, not a thing" Blaineley spoke for everyone
The CIT looked up to see Jason and Hana with the latter dressing more casually as she wore a light blue blouse and grey knee length shorts and a pair of black sandals plus she carried a purse on her
"Hi Jason" she waved slowly before turning to the girl "And you must be his sister, Hana"
"Hai" Hana nodded before bowing "a pleasure to meet you"
"Ready to get it off your chest?" Jason asked as he and Hana sat down next to Courtney
The CIT looked down at the ground, her hands balled into fists before looking to Jason
"Why?" she quivered a bit "why are you helping me? If you'd watch the show's past seasons I'm not really someone you can trust at all"
"You got that right" most of the cast agreed while those were used/betrayed by the CIT nodded
Courtney may have understood their resentment toward her but she has feelings too...
The oddball blinked at her question, he looked at her eyes to see them well up in desperation, he knew that she was happy but after some time of thinking it left a question making her confused
He sighed a bit but went to grab her hand
"I know you're not really much a nice girl Courtney" he spoke "hell, you would be in Heather's level when it comes to being selfish"
"HEY!" the CIT and queen bee stood up in anger making the other cast members laugh before the two turned to Jason "we're not on the same league!" they turned to each other surprised "stop copying me!"
"Actually you both are" he countered with a smirk "I checked the past seasons and saw that you two are using people left and right to reach your goal" he then started to laugh "though the only difference is that Heather would plan and wait for the time to use people, while Courtney would outright declare her superiority of being a CIT"
The 2 girls huffed and sat back down with Noah, Leshawna and Brigette humming in thought at the oddball's words between the two
"And as for why I'm helping you" he continued "has there been anyone actually wanting to help you?"
Courtney's eyes widen at his question, her mind flashed back to her actions back to the island and all her life she was just being adamant of her status until now resulting to the others disregarding her completely
But then came a person known as Jason, the oddball, and helped her at the punk's backstabbing move and at least gave her a caring goodbye at her elimination
Then she did the one thing she wouldn't do
She cried her heart out
The cast got shocked at seeing the CIT breakdown like that, they expected her to just deny that and huff at oddball for saying it to her face like she usually does
Jason looked at Courtney's state and hugged her as she let the tears fall out while gripping onto his arms
Hana silently watched the scene unfold, she remembered the time when he told her that he'll be going to jail after taking care of the jerk that broke her heart. Her eyes welled up on remembering his words when she got a call from him
'I did something bad to make sure that traitor doesn't get you again' his voice echoed 'so I might end up being away from you for a while'
Her heart ached that he became distant for breaking the law but then she remembered a promise she made on perhaps her only visit to him with Ashlynn as the witness and reminder of that promise
'It will be a long wait for you since I'm behind bars...but promise me that you'll be strong when I see you again'
Katie, Sadie, Beth, Bridgette, Izzy and Owen were sniffling at the scene. The rest were fighting the tears in their eyes while some just sighed sadly
One thing is for sure... they'll be feeling awkward at Jason for a while
Courtney cried for 5 minutes before she was able to calm down and wiped her tears
"Thanks" she said before looking at his jacket and shirt "sorry for staining your clothes"
"It's okay" he smiled "I'm just glad that you are getting out from all of this"
"He's right Courtney" Hana smiled before pulling out a book "even though it won't change much, take this book and read it okay?"
"The Medal King?" Courtney read the title before looking at them
"It's a story about of a greedy king who wanted everything he desires" Hana explained before Jason interrupted her
"And considering how you were putting your status out like the king in that book" he hummed "I'll just say that the ending part of the story will surprise you"
"Sounds like a short story" The CIT looked at the book again "anything else put in here?"
"Sketches of the king's armor and info on how it works" the oddball answered
"Thanks for being here" she smiled warmly before standing up "I'll start reading this when I get home"
"Enjoy the book!" Jason and Hana shouted at Courtney's retreating form
"Hey J..." Owen spoke after watching Courtney leave "did your sister make any books here?"
"Just a few..." the oddball "and right now I have a couple of them with me in case I miss her"
"You must be her inspiration then?" Justin and Noah arched their brows at him
"You could say that" he chuckled a "but since she was quite the genius, she didn't have much time being creative"
"It must be hard for her that she missed out on being the brains of the family" Geoff spoke
"She doesn't mind it much" Jason remembered his sister's quick thinking ability "Hana's mind is like a construction site"
"Whoa" Cody, Sierra and DJ blinked at imagining said girl act like an engineer
Heather was in her room as she finished her self appointed time in the gun range, she breathed a few times to keep calm
'This has been a crazy season for me...' she thought about the times of Chris' challenges until now, then her mind flashed to the oddball and his words from a particular challenge
'I know you won't miss Heather' his voice echoed in her mind 'I have faith in your skill'
"Gah!" she sat up feeling frustrated right now "why can't I just forget about that oddball!"
"Seems like white girl is having trouble admitting she likes oddball" Leshawna sneered getting laughs from a few cast members
"Shut it Leshawna!" the queen bee shouted feeling embarrassed right now
Luckily a knock was heard snapping her out of the conflict
"Heather?" her mother's voice called from the door "are you awake?"
"Yes mom" she answered calming down a bit "what is it?"
"A package was delivered here and was written to be for you"
'A package for me?' the queen bee blinked "I'll be right down"
She was now in the living room with her parents as they were looking at the package that was on the table
"Wonder what's inside?" Heather's dad questioned
The queen bee went to open it and saw it was a suitcase inside making her eyes widen
'It can't be...' she pulled it out and a note fell to the ground 'he actually split the prize?!'
Heather's mom saw the note and picked it up
"Dear Heather, here's the money I split from the show. I was going to deliver it to you personally, but I remembered that I promised Eva a spar after I finished counting" she read out loud "if you have some free time then come to the address Sierra will send you, she heard it first and will be in charge of the invitations to the other cast crew if they are interested to watch"
"A battle between oddball and powerhouse" Noah blinked "I'd be interested to watch that"
"But didn't that happen before?" Beth asked "back outside from earlier and all"
"That's because odd dude got a lot of experience in fighting" Geoff spoke before turning to Jason "right?"
"Yep" the oddball nodded "since I ain't part of the cast, I have some time entering a few tournaments"
Eva crossed her arms feeling a bit insulted but she then rubbed her gut feeling a few stings from the spar earlier 'though, I can't deny that your single punch gave me an ache'
"Oddball..." Heather blinked in disbelief "facing EVA!?"
"I'm sure Chris would like to watch that" Gwen rolled her eyes
"Ya got that right Gwen" Trent nodded prompting the rest to agree
"They're not wrong" the host smirked "I'm actually excited how this one will turn out"
"Me too" boss" Chef agreed
A week passed and inside a building Chris was setting up a stage for the spar between Eva and Jason after being informed by the superfan
"You sure this is okay Chris?" Chef looked around as the interns set up a few cameras around the boxing ring at the middle
"I'm sure" the host nodded "besides, this will be something for me to record in case I feel like watching a good fight"
"Can't argue with that" the cook grinned 'power maggot and odd maggot facing each other makes a good battle'
Eva smirked a bit feeling pride right now
Time passed as people came in to watch the anticipated battle
They were: Noah, Gwen, Bridgette, Owen, Izzy, Sierra, Cody, Geoff, Harold, Ezekiel, DJ, Tyler, Heather and Trent
"A battle between oddball and powerhouse..." the bookworm crossed his arms before looking at the others "anyone feeling scared?"
"I am" DJ raised his arm
"Then why did you come here?" the goth asked curiously
"I'm always scared of things" the gentle giant gulped "but I'm trying to handle myself in case something went wrong"
"So you're trying to toughen up a bit" Geoff smiled a bit "and watching this will be the start"
"Well good luck on being brave DJ" the musician smiled "cause this will be something"
Finally Jason and Eva arrived, the latter was smirking as she was carrying a pair of boxing gloves around her neck with a bag in her hands while the former carried his dimension bag
The oddball looked around to see the set up and whistled "didn't figure you would make this set up Chris"
"You left an impression on me oddball" the host smirked "and I'd like something to remember you by"
"I'm flattered" he smiled
"Who would have thought that Chris picked a favorite?" Blaineley blinked at the scene
"Not me" a majority of the cast answered altogether
After some preparation time from the 2 combatants are in the ring and stared at each other with Chef Hatchet as the referee while Sierra and Cody as the spokespersons
"Welcome everyone to the first ever battle between Eva the powerhouse and Jason the oddball" she turned to her boyfriend "any comments on this?"
"Only one" Cody gulped "this... will be intense"
"Alright maggots" the cook looked at them "I want a clean fight, you know the rules of this match... 3 minutes per round, 3 downs your out and you lose after the count when your down"
"Right" they nodded readying themselves
"And...begin!" he shouted before stepping back
The two readied themselves as they quietly concentrated on each other
"And round 1 begins with a silent stare from both fighters" Sierra commented "who will deliver the first attack?"
Eva and Jason circled each other slowly not willing to stay still 'one of us will have to make the assault' they thought at the same time
A few more seconds of silence and then...
Both of them made a quick jab simultaneously and dodged at the same time
Eva smirked at this and went first by delivering a barrage of lefts making the oddball be on his guard blocking the attacks
"And Eva made here move by assaulting Jason with a barrage of lefts" the superfan spoke "forcing Jason on the defense right now"
"Eva sure must be eager to face oddball" Noah blinked at the powerhouse's attack
"No kidding buddy" Owen agreed
"It makes you think that there was actually someone ready to face her" Gwen crossed her arms
Jason kept his guard at Eva's jabs as he was being pushed against the corner 'not bad' he smiled 'you're pushing me against the wall'
"Jason's back is now in the corner" Sierra commented at the fight "What will he do to get out of Eva's attack?"
"Get that guy Eva!" Ezekiel and Harold shouted from the edge of the ring
"Man... homeschool and Harold must really hate oddball to cheer for Eva" Noah rolled his eyes
"Considering that those two likes taking the spotlight" Tyler pointed out "but have poor skills to make them a favorite makes sense to hate Jason on a high level"
"No doubt about that" half of the cast nodded in agreement
The powerhouse pulled her arm back to make a powerful straight which got the oddball's notice
'Now's my chance!' he thought at seeing the opening
The powerhouse delivered a straight and struck him in the face, however he made a counter delivering the same attack to her making the girl stumble back to the middle of the ring
"Unbelievable!" Sierra stood up surprised at the exchange "Eva made a strong attack but Jason was able to deliver it back with equal force!"
"No kidding" Cody agreed "this is perhaps the first time I saw Eva get hit"
"Woohoo!" Owen cheered "you go J!"
The oaf was grabbed by the shirt and was pulled down back to his seat courtesy of the queen bee
"Sit down" she spoke while her eyes glued at the ring "you're distracting me"
"Never thought that oddball will do that" the bookworm blinked "I'd figure he would duck and make an uppercut to make her step back"
"Yeah" Trent nodded "Jason has that surprise to make something happen"
Jason and Eva circled each other again with the latter smirking a bit at gaining a challenge while the former kept a straight face and stayed composed
'I've felt her attacks and they hurt' he thought before grinning 'just what I expect from the powerhouse...'
"It's only been the first round" Duncan crossed his arms "and it's already intense"
"You got that right" most nodded
Lindsay, Beth, Katie, Sadie, DJ and Owen shuddered at seeing how Jason and Eva duke it out so agressively and shared one thought
'Scary...'
"This fight is so good" the host smiled "I never thought it could be intense this early"
"You said it Chris" the cook agreed
Jason suddenly dashed forward and made a one-two punch chain combo forcing Eva to move back
Before long the powerhouse has her back against the corner of the ring 'he forced me in to the corner' she looked at him and saw that he has his arms up blocking her exits
"Jason has cornered Eva" Sierra called "he's returning the favor from the assault earlier"
"You got her trapped odd dude!" Geoff cheered as he and Tyler watched from the edge of the ring
"You can do this!" the jock followed
"Those two are getting into this like homeschool and Harold" Noah shook his head
"At least they get to have a close view of this fight" Gwen rolled her eyes playfully
"Oh man" the gentle giant shuddered at the battle he saw "I'm starting to get scared"
"And here I thought you can toughen yourself" Heather huffed
'You think I'm running huh?' the powerhouse smiled, her stance unwavering 'well, you're wrong!'
She dashed forward clinching against him as she tried to move forward
"What an unexpected move!" Sierra slammed her hands on the table "Eva went straight at him!"
"GO EVA!" the loser duo cheered loudly
Jason and Eva struggled against each other as the powerhouse tried to push ahead
"That's a gutsy move you made" the oddball grunted
"It's not really my style to run away..." the powerhouse grunted back
Jason finally got the upperhand and pushed Eva back to the corner "my turn" he smiled before moving in and delivered a barrage of lefts and rights
"Whoa..." Heather gulped at seeing Jason go on the offensive her eyes widen at realizing how scary he can be if the situation calls it
"Look at J go!" Izzy grinned as she stood up from her seat "he's not letting Eva fight back!"
"Go J!" Owen cheered loudly at seeing his friend go in the attack
"You're really getting into this aren't you?" the goth arched her brow as she tried to calm Bridgette down after seeing the ferocity of Jason's attacks
"Who wouldn't?" Trent guessed as he watched "no one can turn away from this"
Blow by blow Jason kept up his attack making Eva grunt as her guard started to slip
The powerhouse's guard finally broke from Jason's punches and he was about to deliver another one, but Chef stepped in between them
"Stop!" he called "times up!"
"And that's the end of round 1!" the superfan said as she sat back down "and thankfully a short break for all of us to catch our breathe"
"No kidding there" Blaineley nodded "I'm pretty sure the next round will get more intense"
"No doubt about that" Justin agreed
"I hope Jason will be okay" Cody gulped before he was wrapped in the arms of Sierra
"He'll be fine bunnyface" she cooed "Jason is a tough guy"
In their respective corners the two of them are talking to their coaches
"You have got to beat him Eva" Harold spoke to her "he's mocking you"
"Yeah" Ezekiel nodded "no doubt that he's laughing in his head right now"
"Those 2 are the worst motivators I've ever seen" Heather, Blaineley, Courtney and Duncan stated
"True that" most of the cast nodded
"Hey!" the nerd shouted "I can give good advice!"
"Yeah" Jason rolled his eyes "and they ended up backfiring after a while"
Harold was about to talk back but Chef threw his drink at his head shutting him up
"Shut it wimp maggot!" he barked loudly "no one cares!"
Eva ignored their words as she breathed calmly and looked at Jason in the other corner
'I'm happy this happened' she thought 'you are the first person to ever fight me head on' she then grinned 'and I'm going to enjoy facing you again when the next round starts'
"Oh this going to be messy" DJ, Katie, Sadie, Beth, Justin and Bridgette gulped
"You did great "Geoff wiped the sweat off Jason with a towel "though it's hard for me to give you plan in all this"
"It's okay" the oddball spat water into the funnel "you and Tyler are already doing enough by being my corner group"
"Do you think you can beat Eva Jason?" Tyler asked feeling a bit worried
"After what happened earlier, I have no idea" Jason panted a bit
"Well good luck odd dude" the party animal said seriously
"Yeah" the jock agreed "Eva is one tough person"
"Don't worry about me" he smiled "just worry how to wake me up after this"
The rest is over and the cornermen moved away as the combatants went to the center of the ring
"Fighters ready?" Chef asked making both of them nod "begin!"
The two went at each other exchanging blows getting themselves bruises on the head hits while losing some air from the body blows
'This is great!' Eva thought after dodging jab 'I feel so alive right now!'
The powerhouse smiled at seeing herself enjoying a fight before looking at the oddball
'If only I have met you sooner, then I wouldn't feel so grumpy'
Jason blocked a body blow from her as she now stepped back to get some breathing room making him pant as he loosened his guard
'You have strong hits Eva' his body stumbled a bit before fixing himself 'but I didn't face Chef for nothing!'
He jumped in and delivered a left straight only to hit nothing
"Jason/odd dude!" his cornermen shouted "she's under you!"
Jason looked down to her in an odd angle and deliver uppercat
'Oh no!' his eyes widen at the attack 'I can't dodge it!'
"Got ya!" she shouted delivering her attack
"Unbelievable!" Sierra called at seeing Jason hit on the chin and flew back before hitting the ground "Eva delivered a smash on Jason and he is down!"
"Go to the corner power maggot!" the referee called before starting the count
"That was some hit" Gwen blinked as she tried to calm Bridgette down as the girl clung to her like a life preserver
"At least you don't have to worry about DJ" Trent said as he and Noah gently placed the gentle giant lying down a few seats away from the group"
"I can't blame him" the bookworm sighed "this round is too much for weak wills" he then shivered a bit "I'm lucky that I'm still awake right now..."
"Oh man" Justin gulped at seeing Eva's blow "I don't think I can take this..."
"You can always faint" Noah suggested as he pointed at DJ, Beth, Lindsay, Katie and Sadie passed out in their seats
"Good idea" the model nodded before losing it and passed out too
"J!" Izzy and Owen cried out for their friend "c'mon get up!"
The oddball struggled as he got on his knees as Chef got to the number seven count 'you're strong Eva...' he finally stood up 'but I'm strong too!'
"Can you still fight?" the oddball nodded "then this round continues"
"I have to admit oddball" the powerhouse grinned "I never thought you would stand up again"
"I fought Chef in the finale of World Tour" he grunted as he kept his stance "and it wasn't because I got lucky"
Eva kept her grin before dashing forward and delivered a barrage of punches forcing to keep his guard up as he was being pushed back in the corner of the ring
'Damn it!' Jason frowned as his back felt the corner 'I'm still dizzy from her smash' his guard started to slip 'I won't be able to make a hit, but it's my only chance if I can make it connect!'
He dropped his guard giving Eva the opening she needed and made a right hook... only to miss
"Eva!" Harold shouted to her
"Look down!" Ezekiel followed
The powerhouse looked down to see him ready to punch her causing the girl's eyes to widen
'My only chance...' Jason moved up delivering his attack 'connect!'
Eva could only move her head to the side as the attack reached her face, his fist grazing her cheek and she stepped back from the blow. After a few steps of distance... her legs stumbled, moving quickly she grabbed the ropes trying not to fall but the blow she received made her body loosen that grip and fall down to her knees
"Eva's down!" Sierra shouted in disbelief "Eva is down!"
"I don't believe it..." Gwen and Courtney said in disbelief
"Me neither" Duncan, Tyler and Heather followed feeling the same
"Yeah" Sierra and Cody nodded
"You go J!" Owen and Izzy smiled
"Man" Chris crossed his arms "oddball got Eva to fall down"
"I'm impressed" Chef smiled "odd maggot did another impossible feat"
Eva struggled to get up as her cornermen shouted at her to do so
Chef counted to five while she was one leg and grabbing the rope, he reached to eight and the powerhouse was on her feet looking ready to fight again
But before Chef could ask she could continue, he saw the time drop to zero signifying the end of the round
"Oh man" Noah breathed "I don't think I can take it anymore"
"Let's just hope that the next round is the last" the goth muttered as she now placed an unconcsious Bridgette next to DJ
"Yeah me too" Bridgette held onto her boyfriend as he tried to soothe her
"Anyone thinking that Eva can beat Jason?" Blaineley questioned getting raised arms from Heather, Harold, Courtney, Noah and Duncan "figures" the blonde host rolled her eyes
The cornermen left the ring as Eva and Jason walked to the center of the ring ready to finish this fight
"Begin!" Chef shouted before the two of them charged at each other into a clinch as both of them tried to push the other back
'I'm on my last leg here...' both of them thought at the same time before jumping back and readied themselves again 'this round will decide who is the victor!'
They now exchange blows while keeping up their gaurds as they struggled to have their opponent knocked out as they now were sporting a few bruises on their faces
"A final struggle between them is now shown" Sierra spoke before looking at a passed out Cody from the tension from round 2 and then back to the ring "who will be the one to stay standing?"
"Go Eva!" the loser duo shouted "beat that guy!"
"You can do this Jason!" Geoff and Tyler retaliated
"Oh man..." a few guys gulped at seeing the punches and blocks
"You can say that again" Courtney blinked owlishly followed by Leshawna, Gwen, Blaineley and Duncan
'You're good Jason' Eva smiled as she saw him move back a bit 'but it ends here!'
She reared her right arm back and delivered a straight punch to her target
Jason saw her attack and was able tilt his head to the side dodging it while delivering a counter punch striking her in the face sending the powerhouse to the ground
"Eva was countered!" Sierra's eyes went wide at the last attack "and she's down for the count!"
Jason was against the ropes and breathing heavily as he saw Chef counting
'It's over' he panted 'it's one tough battle' he looked at Eva struggling to get back up 'and you put up a good fight...'
The powerhouse was on her knees but the blow from Jason's counter punch made her stop there as Chef reached the tenth count before waving his arms signalling the fight is over
"It's over!" Sierra jumped out of her chair "the fight is over and Jason is the victor!"
"You go J!" the crazy girl and oaf smiled/cheered at the oddball's victory while the rest of the audience were quite baffled at the result
"Eva... lost?" Gwen blinked
"I...don't believe it..." Heather spoke slowly feeling stunned right now
The oddball watched Eva being carried away by the interns for some medical attention while Harold and Ezekiel walked away looking angry and frustrated
"Tough luck on not getting your revenge" the punk sneered
The nerd huffed while crossing his arms "whatever"
'I can't believe that I fell for him?' the sassy sister shook her head at Harold's actions 'it's a miracle I'm tolerating his presence up to now'
Jason fell to his knees feeling himself losing consciousness
"Jason!" Geoff and Tyler shouted as they jumped in and ran toward him
"It's okay" Jason smiled weakly "I'm just...tired"
And then his vision went black
"That...was...SO AWESOME!" Owen shouted in glee
"I know!" Izzy grinned "it was so intense! Like an action scene between two rivals"
Eva crossed her arms feeling satisfied, even though she still lost... she was glad that the oddball kept his promise from the finale episode of World Tour
Jason was carried by his cornermen into a room with a few people from the audience joining him before the party animal got a bucket of water and splashed him
The oddball jolted as he sat up shaking his head and coughed up some water that entered his mouth
"Odd dude!" Geoff smiled in relief "you're awake!"
"Yeah, I am" Jason grabbed his head before groaning "oh man... Eva sure makes hard hits"
"You sure are something Jason" Gwen crossed her after handing Bridgette to the party animal "you are the only person among the cast to face and not be scared"
"Don't I count?" Izzy raised her hand
"You're a crazy girl Izzy" Tyler spoke as he helped Trent carry DJ
"Yeah" Trent agreed "you don't really make sense to the rest of us, even though you're crazy friendly"
"Hmph!" she pouted and looked away
"There's one thing I'm certain of this oddball" Noah spoke as Owen tried to soothe his crazy friend "Chris will definitely want you again for his show"
"And I won't complain" he said surprising them
The cast that were still awake felt the same before turning to the oddball "really?" they blinked
"Just watch you guys" Jason laughed a bit from their disbelieving looks
"Are you sure you're fine with it?" Cody spoke as his girlfriend gave him an icebag to lessen the pain a bit
"I'm only considered a veteran cast because I'm with the main members" he reasoned "I'll consider myself one by going in that show multiple times"
"Congratulations Chris" Chef turned to his boss "there's one maggot who isn't gonna complain about your next recruiting"
"Yeah..." the host nodded looking dumbfounded "who knew?"
"Well..." Geoff felt awkward as his friends were stunned in silence "good luck in Chris' next show"
"Thanks" the oddball smiled
The screen went black as the remaining cast who stayed finally breathed out in relief
"Man, that was some episode" Tyler sighed as he slouched back into his seat
"You can say that again" the other cast members said unanimously
"Alright, alright" Jason clapped his hands getting their attention "why don't we take some time to breathe and have some lunch while we're at it"
"I'm down with that" everyone, who was still awake, nodded
"Then let's get the unconscious ones back to the hotel so they can relax before we eat okay?"
Author's notes:
Whew! Man was this a long chapter... I expected it to be slightly longer than I originally planned, but I forgot that this had to do with some things that I added during this season's progress
Well anyway, that's the filler of this season and I'm taking a break since this story was my main focus ever since I made it and therefore neglected the other stories I was supposed to update
As for the the ROI season of Total Drama, there will be some surprises that will make you blink in disbelief (if that's possible)
I hope you enjoyed this chapter
