Notes From The Depths of Sarcasm- Welcome back! I see that the Cruise of Lose episode had mixed reviews, but mostly good, which is great! I'm glad you guys liked it and I'll be sure to take your advice to mind for the next one! ;) Also, the review situation is fixed, so keep the long reviews coming! (Pretty Please?)
As for this one, this is part 1 of the next VR. Sorry for sticking you with two Non-Elimination chapters in a row, but that's how things happen sometimes. Now that the holidays are over, I hope to get back into the normal writing schedule, although school is dumping a heavy load this time of year, so we'll see what happens.
In other news, the final episode of Gravity Falls is around the corner and it'll officially be time to sit in the corner, cry in fetal position, and rethink my life's choices, but until then, I'll be eagerly awaiting the last episode! Because of this, I wanna stick a bunch of Gravity Falls references in the upcoming chapters, so be sure to leave a review telling me which GF moments you want to see! ;)
As always, be sure to hit that fav/follow button if you haven't already and reviews are greatly appreciated! Check out my other stories and all of that usual blah-blah-blah nonsense that you never listen to. :P
Review Replies:
Canterbury041: I'm pretty sure it's 27 because Owen returned, but otherwise, I could be wrong. If so, then thanks for pointing that out ;) Also, I think Scott's a pretty good character! He was a good and hate-able villain for season 4, and I actually think he was pretty good in All Stars.
Guess T: I'm not trying to treat Topher badly, I'm making some jokes with him. Zoey, Cameron, and Mike were the hosts because I knew they were popular, but weren't in the season. I did the Topher wanting to be host because it makes sense, plus it was something for him to do. I was thinking about making Topher host for the next one, so I'll look into that. Second, Anne Maria's new look will quickly be fixed because she's not one to keep it like that. I just figured it'd be something funny like what happened to the Goths, plus it was something for her to do. Next COL she'll be back to normal. And the red hair thing was because she always made fun of Zoey for having red hair, s she hid her own red hair with copious amounts of hair dye and hairspray. In the end, it was just a gag, and it'll be back to normal in the next COL, thanks for the criticism though! ;)
Guest D: Who knows how Izzy got onto the Cruise Ship in the first place...and I'm glad you liked the Aleheather bit. Yeah, I figured Anne Maria would practically burst into flame if something like that happened ot her looks! XD BTW, this chapter is more of a After the Dock of Shame episode, but also like an Aftermath, it's a little of both.
NerdyNightStocker: You got that right and thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the COL episode! As for Bunny 2's fate, he did survive the BBQ but I figured it would be likely that he still ended up getting eaten or otherwise killed somehow. Plus, I wanted a Bunny 3 :P
Fred: Well, I can't spoil anything, but I can assure you we'll get an answer to the love triangle. There will be some other relationships that may either be reformed, destroyed, or just plain new ;)
Ummmmmidk: Your username is literally what goes through my mind 24/7 XD Thanks, I'm glad you like the story, that means a lot! As for Courtney and Duncan, once again, I can't spoil anything, sorry :/
FOWLKON: I guess you'll just have to read to see who does their best in this challenge ;) Um...as far as I'm concerned I didn't do a dinosaur challenge XD You may be thinking of either the other VR's, aka Zombies and Superheroes, or the Funzone challenge.
WARNING: This chapter is full of dinosaurs, which is bound to be followed up with some violence and eating. If this isn't your cup of tea, you may want to skip this chapter, it shouldn't be too bad though. In fact, pronouncing the dinosaur's names is what's gonna hurt! So, if I do happen to spell anything wrong or make any mistakes when it comes to dinosaur accuracies, then sorry in advance!
Chapter 16 (Day 12 – Part 1)- Dinosaur Name Pronunciation's Gonna Hurt
"Last time on Total Drama Unfinished Business!" Chris began the episode for a wide shot of the island. "Our contestants indulged in psychotic and injury-filled game of kickball, which ended up sending at least three people to the infirmary!" He snickered.
"Courtney managed to talk Duncan into giving her one of his sodas, and in the process, received a special leg up in the game! Likewise, Scarlett found the hidden immunity idol in Chef's kitchen!" Chris continued.
"Everyone thought for sure that Tyler was dead when he fell face-first into a pool of lava, which only turned out to be super-hot tomato soup." The host chuckled. "Jasmine wowed everyone with her kicking skills, while Tyler did the exact opposite, ultimately getting his talentless butt sent home!"
"With Jasmine and Brick on the newly installed Exile Island, the game is sure to be twisted upside down!" Chris said. "We've got 26 campers left, and plenty more challenges to screw their lives over with! Who will be the next to take the dreaded Boot of Shame? Find out on this week's episode of Total...Drama...Unfinished Business!" He declared.
~Theme Song (I Wanna Be Famous)~
Pahkitew's Exile Island was a small island just off the coast of the main island. It was far enough away that it didn't appear on screen when the zoomed-out shots of Camp Pahkitew were shown.
The island looked a lot like the main island, but smaller and with less hills and cliffs. There were two even smaller islands that sat just off the coast. They were close enough that you could swim across to them. Sticking out of the main island was an old wooden dock, as well a small house on stilts. The house wasn't much of a house, more of a directions area with a wooden roof.
The camera closed in on the beach showing Brick and Jasmine under a large pine tree. The ground dipped into a small bowl with the pine tree in the center, creating a relatively good base-point for a shelter.
Several sticks were set up against the branches to create a barrier from the wind. A couple thick sticks sat on the branches, making a make-shift roof.
Jasmine awoke with a yawn. She had nothing to sleep on but a bed of leaves and dead pine-needles, but most of the latter had been swept out. "Crikey, that bit of sleep was something awful." She yawned, stretching her long arms. "Can't say the Australian Outback differs too much, except there's a lot less pine-needles and leaves!" She chuckled. "And trees come to think of it..."
"Rise and shine soldier!" Brick welcomed, marching into the make-shift shelter. He held a cooked fish on a plank of wood.
"Wow, I've never met someone who's gotten up earlier than me!" Jasmine grinned. "And I see you've already made Breaky, nice job! Oh, and you've got a fire going!" She admired as she ducked out of the shelter.
"There's a clue to the hidden immunity idol in the hut up there," Brick said, pointing to the hut by the dock, "I went hunting for it when I woke up, but it just led me to another clue which I'm gonna assume leads you to another clue and so on."
"Hmm...an idol would be good to have right now, but it'll take to long. On the bright side, no one else knows about the idol, so if we chose to be Exiled next time, we might be able to take a crack at looking for it, plus, we've already made a shelter here." She suggested.
"I guess we could try ma'am." Brick said, giving a salute and handing the fish to Jasmine. "I've already had some so I'm gonna go for a quick morning 5k, if you don't mind."
(Outhouse Confessional- Survivor Dream Team!)
Brick- "A player who has their head in the game would keep that idol information classified, but after lying to Jo and Heather, I feel obligated to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." He said. "I had to tell Jasmine about the idol."
Scarlett walked through the forest until she reached the cave that Max had dubbed his secret lair. Scarlett arrived at the closed garage door that blocked the entrance of the cave. She tapped in the unbelievably easy pass-code and the door opened to reveal Max running around screaming.
Scarlett raised an eyebrow, not seeing the threat. "Help me sidekick!" Max cried, running up to Scarlett. "The lair has been invaded!" He screeched.
"By what?" Scarlett questioned.
"Those!" Max shouted, pointing to several glow worms hanging from the ceiling. "They're some kind of slimy chrysalis of mayhem!"
"Those are glow worms, Max." Scarlett deadpanned. "Not evil invaders."
"Well what could they possibly be doing here?" Max demanded.
"It's a cave you moron, glow worms live in caves." Scarlett explained. "Don't bother them and get back to work on your helmet of 'evil'."
"Oh yes, speaking of which, I have gotten much progress done on the helmet! It's nearly complete, want to see it?" Max asked happily.
"No. I want to see it when it's done." Scarlett hissed. With that, Scarlett left the cave.
(Outhouse Confessional- Glow Worm Army!)
Scarlett- "I need Max to finish the helmet so I can duplicate it. I'd do the helmet myself but I've got better things to do, and why do what your soon-to-be-dead-weight can do?" She grinned smugly.
Max- "I'm starting to think Scarlett might be trying to counter-manipulate me into make the helmet for her. I don't blame her though, it takes a certain level of genius to finish something like my evil helmet." He grinned. "But I'm sure she just got out of control for a bit. She knows well that I'm her overlord."
Scarlett arrived on the beach and sat in a group circle with Izzy, Eva, and Noah on the shore near the base of the volcano, far from camp. "Alright, as an alliance, we need to come together and discuss our next moves." Scarlett said.
"So you brought us together into a little kiddie huddle?" Noah asked. "This isn't a sports team."
Scarlett sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "That is besides the point. I have found the hidden immunity idol and retrieved it from Chef's refrigerator." The brainiac held up the wooden Chris head. "I expect you all to know that I will be using this for myself when the time comes, so do expect to be able to use it when you need it. You will need to find your own means of staying in the game."
"Okay, so the definition of alliance is now back-stab, selfish, and don't share?" Noah questioned. "That sounds about right." He rolled his eyes.
"Alliance means we are voting together, not sharing immunity items." Scarlett answered. "Speaking of which, I understand that Izzy is the only other member of the alliance that has an item, would you care to read it out loud?"
Izzy reached into her cleavage and pulled out the small rolled-up piece of paper. "Got it!" She grinned. She unrolled the slip of paper and began reading it. "Sweet! I get to be a team captain in today's challenge!" She exclaimed.
"What? It's not an immunity item?" Scarlett wondered. "Well that's useless." She muttered. "Eva, Noah, I assume neither of you have an idol or anything preposterous like that."
"Nope." Eva said, not changing facial expressions from a deadpan uni-brow.
"Zilch." Noah chimed in.
"Alright then." Scarlett nodded. "Izzy, I expect you to chose us for your team so we can vote together in the possibility that we lose."
"You got it!" Izzy agreed, giving a big fat thumbs up.
"Is it bad that I have no faith in her?" Noah asked.
(Outhouse Confessional- Don't worry Noah, we don't either)
Eva- "Ha! For someone who nearly took over an entire robotic island last season and who claims to be the smartest contestant this show's ever seen, she really can't tell the difference between lying and the truth!" She chuckled. "But that's good for me because I've got a hidden immunity idol that she doesn't know about." She grinned.
"Come on in guys!" Chris shouted as the contestants gathered in a crowd at the bonfire pit. As per usual for each VR challenge, the Virtual Reality Machine was swapped out for the tree stump seats and bonfire.
"Jasmine and Brick, returning from Exile!" Chris announced as the Boat of Shame floated up to the dock with a puff of smoke from the pipe and a honk from the foghorn. Chef stopped the boat at the newly built dock and Jasmine and Brick hopped out. The two walked up to the bonfire pit and joined the other campers.
"Aw, sweet, are we doing another virtual reality challenge?" Duncan grinned upon seeing the large machine with nearly forty seats.
"Yup! It's time for a Prehistoric Adventure!" Chris declared, wiggling his fingers in what he thought was a scary fashion.
"So, dinosaurs?" Cody asked.
"Woo-hoo! Izzy approves!" Izzy cheered, throwing a fist in the air heartily.
"Alright, the goal of today's challenge is to not get eaten by dinosaurs!" Chris told them. "Okay, it's a little more complicated than that. You'll all spawn in different places on an island theme park themed to dinosaurs and the prehistoric." He explained. "Your goal is to avoid getting eaten or otherwise killed and get to the beach where an escape military boat will be waiting. Whichever team has the most remaining players wins."
"Is this the basic plot of every Virtual Reality challenge you throw at us? 'Don't die and get to the boat'?" Scarlett asked.
"Well, for some of them." Chris shrugged. "Anyway, to decide the teams, we'll have a schoolyard pick, but first, we've gotta decide the team captains. Izzy, I believe you have a slip of paper I should see."
"Yup!" Izzy nodded, bounding over to the host and handing him the slip of paper.
"With this piece of paper that Izzy won at the auction, she will automatically be one of the team captains." Chris announced.
"Wait, one of the team captains? Are there more than two teams this challenge?" Harold asked.
"Yup, this time you'll be split into three teams." Chris informed them. "And Izzy is one team captain. As Chef comes around with bag of rocks, pull one out, but do not reveal it. When I say go, you will show me your rock and whichever two have the blue rock will be the other two team captains." Chef came around and each contestant pulled out a rock and kept it tucked in their palm.
"Alright, on three, open your palm." Chris said. "One...two...three. Open!" He called as each contestant opened their palm, most of them holding a white rock.
"It looks like Dave and Scarlett have pulled orange rocks, which means they'll be the other two team leaders." Chris announced as the camera showed both campers with an orange pebble in their hand.
"Curses!" Scarlett muttered under her breath.
"Alright, since Izzy had the special paper thingy," Chris said, "She'll pick first."
"All right! I choose...Scarlett!" Izzy grinned.
Scarlett face-palmed as everyone else raised an eyebrow. "Uh, Izzy, Scarlett is another team leader, you can't choose her to be on your team." Chris informed her.
"Oh, sorry I wasn't listening." Izzy chuckled. "Let's see..." She surveyed the other contestants. "Go team E-Scope!" She cheered, pointing to Eva. Once again, Scarlett face-palmed as she seethed through gritted teeth.
"Scarlett, you're up." Chris said, motioning to the brainiac.
"Noah, plain and simple." Scarlett said. "Seeing as you're the only other one with a similar mindset and brain capacity." She shrugged.
"Hey!" Shouted some of the campers who actually knew what she was saying.
"What?! You broke up team E-Scope!" Izzy hissed. "How could you! This is madness!"
(Outhouse Confessional- Team E-Scope all the way!)
Scarlett- "Perhaps I must be careful of my alliance with the other three. They seem to share bond of which Izzy calls 'Team E-Scope'. I'm not sure they can all be trusted in the long run." She said, narrowing her eyes.
"Dave, your turn." Chris said.
Dave looked at the crowd of bored contestants and weighed his options. "I choose...Sky." He said, much to everyone's shock and surprise. Everyone gasped as Sky, eyes wide, walked over and stood next to Dave, although she faced the other way with her arms crossed.
"Well, with that surprise, we're back to Izzy's team. Eva, you choose now." Chris said.
"Jasmine." She said, pointing to the tall Aussie.
The Outback Survivalist grinned and high-fived Eva and Izzy. Now it was Scarlett's turn. "Duncan." She said. Izzy snapped her fingers and glared at the brainiac.
"Noah, you're up." Chris told the bookworm.
Noah looked at the rest of his fellow campers and tried to decide who to choose. "Weed out the stupid ones and the annoying ones." Scarlett instructed.
"I know what to do." Noah hissed. He stroked his chin in thought and finally came to an answer. "Owen." He nodded in satisfaction.
"And somehow, out of my advice you managed to pick one of the few people who applied to both categories." Scarlett grumbled.
"Sky, choose someone." Chris told the athlete.
"Courtney." She said, pointing to the CIT.
Courtney grinned and stood next to the feuding pair. "You won't regret that decision." She told her with a smile.
"I choose Samey." Jasmine grinned, pointing to her friend. Samey smiled and ran over to the giant, giving her a big hug and then standing next to her.
Owen frowned. "Man, I wish I could choose Izzy." He lamented. "But Geoff's pretty cool too." He beamed, pointing at the party guy.
"Alright bro!" Geoff cheered, high-fiving Owen.
"Why did you choose that obnoxious fart machine?" Scarlett hissed at Noah. "Now he's chosen the moronic party animal and he's bound to choose his no-doubt future spouse!"
"We'd have to pick someone we didn't want eventually." Noah shrugged. "Plus, despite his sometimes annoying behavior and disgusting smells, Owen's pretty awesome." He smiled.
"Courtney, you're up." Chris said, looking slightly bored at the rate of this schoolyard pick.
"I pick... Duncan." She said, and of course, everyone gasped once more. "What? It's purely strategic."
"I knew she still liked me." Duncan grinned at Scott, walking up to Courtney leaving the fuming dirt farmer.
"Samey, take your pick." Chris said.
"Um...Cody." She shrugged casually, hiding a hint of a smile. The Shameless ladies man grinned slyly and strutted up to Izzy's group.
"Who else would I pick other than my ubber babe, Bridgette!" Geoff beamed, throwing a fist in the air as Bridgette walked over to him with a smile.
"LeShawna." Duncan grinned, fist-bumping the booty-licious queen of loud.
"You know it baby!" She shouted. "Those wannabe lizards ain't got nothin' on us." She grinned, punching a fist into her palm.
"Cody, you're up." Chris pointed to the tech geek for him to pick. The host groaned at the slowness of the situation and grasped his face, pulling it down and letting the fat on his face slap back up.
The crowd of contestants in front of the three teams being built slowly got smaller and smaller as contestants faded away after being picked. Finally, it came down to the final three contestants.
"Trent, you've got a choice of Max, Rodney, or Harold." Chris said to the musician.
Trent looked back at his teammates. Izzy shrugged, not caring who joined them at this point. "Uh..." he looked between the three remaining contestants. "Harold, you know some stuff, right?"
"You got it." Harold grinned. "You made the right choice. I'll be super helpful."
"If you say so." Gwen said, rolling her eyes.
"C'mon, Harold's not so bad." Trent said.
"B, who're you gonna pick?" Chris asked.
B stroked his chin in thought and looked at Max and Rodney. Max had his arms crossed and was glaring at everyone for not picking him yet. Rodney was just nervously looking around, mostly at girls.
(Outhouse Confessional- Picky, picky)
Rodney- "Aw man, I've been a wreck ever since the last VR challenge." He sighed. "I've lost my lady-killing mojo! I've been falling all over them and I need to get my head in the game. Maybe I should wear a blindfold..."
B continued to think for about two more minutes, much to Chris's annoyance. "Come on dude! This is ridiculous, we could be halfway through the VR right now! Hurry up or I'm gonna give the choice to Dave's team." Chris snapped.
B shook his head and put a finger up to signal stop. He looked at Max and Rodney and pointed to the former. "Max?" Chris asked, somewhat surprised. B nodded. "Uh...well, it's your funeral." He shrugged. "Max, you're on Scarlett's team, and Rodney, you're on Dave's team."
"H-h-hi." Rodney greeted sheepishly, waving to his team, most of which were glaring at him or rolling their eyes.
"Welcome to the team, Rodney!" Sky welcomed. "Can you try to be focused this challenge this time?" She asked.
"In other words, try not to be stupid!" Amy snapped.
Rodney nodded. "You got it!" He said, giving a dumb smile.
"Alright, here's the final update on the teams." Chris said, reading off of an index card that had just been handed to him by an intern. "Team 1 is Izzy, Eva, Jasmine, Samey, Cody, Gwen, Brick, Trent, and Harold!" He listed. "You guys will be called The Raptors."
"Alright!" Izzy cheered.
"Team 2, you guys are Scarlett, Noah, Owen, Geoff, Bridgette, Katie, Dawn, B, and Max." Chris continued to read. "You guys are The Pterodactyls!"
"I believe you mean Pteranodon." Scarlett corrected him. "Pterodactyl is a genus, not an actual species of dinosaur." She told him.
"Whatever, it still works." Chris waved her off. "Finally, Team 3 is Dave, Sky, Courtney, Duncan, LeShawna, Scott, Dakota, Amy, and Rodney." He finished. "You guys are dubbed The Sauropods."
"Lame!" Duncan rolled his eyes.
"Wait, aren't those, like, fat?" Amy cried.
"Actually, Argentinosaurus, which is a sauropod, was quite large and big-boned. They were able to take out the largest bipedal dinosaurs and tyrannosaurs." Harold pointed out.
"No one cares Harold." Chris narrowed his eyes at the Ubber Nerd.
"I know." Harold sighed, hanging his head.
"Alright, now that the teams are finally settled, note to self never do a schoolyard pick again," He muttered to himself, "It's time to get this challenge under way! Everyone take a seat in the VR."
The contestants each got into their own seat, a few of which were empty at this point in the game. "Commence entering Primeval Park in ten seconds." Chris said, pressing a red button on the machine.
"Primeval Park? You're certainly bordering close on copyright issues." Noah muttered.
(The Raptors – Samey and Cody)
Samey awoke laying on the wet dirt and tropical leaves. She got up and brushed herself off, looking around at the steamy jungle around her. Bugs and insects buzzed by and crawled along the jungle floor and trees. She turned around and saw Cody standing just a foot behind her. "Gah!" She cried in surprise. "Oh, it's you."
"What, is something wrong?" Cody asked.
"Oh, no, nothing's wrong." Samey blushed. "I just kinda thought I'd be with Jasmine." She chuckled sheepishly. "But you're cool too!" She said quickly.
"Thanks." Cody smiled. "Now, we should probably try to find a way out of here, something tells me Chris set the dinosaurs loose and who knows how far away from the boats we are." He said.
"Good idea." Samey nodded.
(Outhouse Confessional- Does the VR ship Codammy?)
Samey- She's blushing and is scratching the wooden toilet seat nervously. "O-okay...I have to say it." She whispered, taking a deep breath. "I...like Cody." She admitted. "I know, I know, it's kind of weird, but don't tell Amy! If she finds out, my life is over!" She cried, still whispering.
The two teens stumbled around the jungle, not making much progress. "Wait, what was that?" Cody exclaimed, pausing to listen to a slight rustling in the bushes. Samey and Cody turned to see the bush shaking.
Samey gasped in fear as something emerged from the vegetation. "Is that a...dodo bird?" She wondered. The short, blue, bird-like creature let out a odd-sounding honk and snapped its large beak at them. Samey jumped back and the dodo jumped up and continued honking.
"Is it trying to fly?" Cody wondered.
The bird flapped its wings as it seemed to try to attack the two of them. "It's actually kind of cute." Samey chuckled. Then, there was another rustling from the bush.
Suddenly, out jumped a larger raptor-like dinosaur. It quickly bit into the dodo's blue, feathery hide and began killing it. The two smaller creatures tussled, the dodo letting out terrified honks and the raptor making biting noises.
Cody screamed and bolted from the fight, soon followed by Samey. "That poor bird! It's gonna die!" Samey cried. "Do you think it'll be okay?"
"It's too late, that bird's gone the way of the dodo!" Cody said, continuing to run. Suddenly, the two seemed to come to a clearing. "Say, this looks like a pathway." Cody observed.
"Hey, there's some wooden fences over here!" Samey said. "They kind of look totally obliterated though." She chuckled sheepishly. "Maybe this was some sort of aviary?" She suggested.
"You know what, that makes a lot of sense!" Cody agreed. "I found some large glass shards in the ground over here, and since these fences aren't very protective, it must be intentional so the birds can fly around."
"Hey, there's a little opening in the trees up there!" Samey discovered, pointing up to where a tattered, broken, and dirty glass dome could be seen through a small clearing in the treetops. "The holes look big enough for some of the bigger dinosaur birds to get through, so maybe they're all out of here." She suggested. "At least I hope they are."
There was a loud roar that sounded half stereotypical T-Rex, half bird, and half turbine engine. Samey and Cody quickly covered their ears as a massive figure flew over them, blowing leaves and sticks around and waving the branches on the trees.
"Yeah, I think some of them might still be home." Cody gulped nervously, his eyes darting around the jungle.
"This might be harder than I thought." Samey whimpered.
(The Pterodactyls – Bridgette, Katie, Scarlett)
Scarlett awoke in the VR finding herself seated on a massive 180 degree pair of bleachers with a roof over them that looked over a large pool of water. There was a tall platform in the middle of the bleachers on the water with a long cable extending into the water. A dead shark hung from the line.
"Obviously we've landed in some kind of entertainment seating area for aquatic dinosaurs." Scarlett deduced upon seeing the shark. "I assume it won't be too big considering Chris needs to save money, and what bigger would he want than one of the Tyrannosaurs Rex, Giganotosaurus, Spinosaurus, or perhaps even Mapusaurus." She said. She turned around and saw Bridgette and Katie had spawned a few seats down. "Ugh...you two." She muttered.
"What's wrong with us?" Bridgette demanded.
"Well, you're not exactly the smartest people in this competition, and certainly not the most athletic, I mean, look at your stature." Scarlett said.
"Just because I'm somewhat short doesn't mean I can't be useful. In fact I'm probably more athletic than you. Not to brag of course." Bridgette returned.
"Okay then, fair point." Scarlett nodded. "But you give no excuse for her." She pointed to Katie who was holding her head.
"Gah! Headache! Did either of you get a headache when you spawned?" She asked, stumbling around a bit.
"Case closed." Scarlett said. "While neither of you are too terribly useful, you're still not the worst people I could have spawned with. Now, let's get moving, the shore can't be too far from this body of water." She said.
Suddenly, there was a quiet rumbling and the three girls looked around to see where it could be coming from. "Can the VR have an earthquake?" Bridgette cried, grabbing hold to one of the seats so she wouldn't fall over from the rumbling.
"Possibly, but I doubt that's the answer." Scarlett said. "No where is that incessant ground trembling coming from?!" She hissed before continuing to look around.
Suddenly, something burst from the water, but Scarlett, Bridgette, and Katie all shielded their eyes from the massive amounts of water spilling onto the seats. The waves of water pummeled them, knocking all three of them back into the seats. When the water receded, they caught a glimpse of what was responsible for the trembling and the waves.
"A Mosasaur?!" Scarlett exclaimed. "I certainly wasn't expecting Chris to go all out." The aquatic dinosaur had its mouth open wide and it slowly snapped shut on the shark that was hanging from the cable. With that, the Mosasaur sank back into its pool, sending another wave of water at the three girls.
"Whoa!" Katie shouted as she stumbled over, slipping on the wet stairs. She hit the ground and her back hit a red button on a control panel that was in front of the ladder that went up to the platform.
There was a humming sound and the bleachers suddenly began to descend. Scarlett and Bridgette cried out as they both stumbled, realizing that they were moving. "You moronic squealer, what did you do?!" Scarlett snapped.
The bleachers continued to go lower, now looking into a large tank, glass separating the seats from thousands of gallons of water. "Whoa..." Bridgette awed at the sight. On the other side of the glass was the Mosasaur, snapping its shark dinner in half, the blood staining the crustal blue water.
"That beats any shark attack I've ever seen." Bridgette breathed, her eyes widened in fear and awe.
"Yes, magnificent creatures they used to be. It's a shame they went extinct with the rest of the Prehistoric creatures, their power could certainly be harnessed to create a death machine." She said.
"What was that?" Bridgette raised an eyebrow incredulously.
"Oh nothing, just stating facts to myself." Scarlett lied. "Katie, hit that button again, it will most likely bring us back up so we can get out of here. I'm not sure if I want to stick around to see how hard Chris worked on securing the glass." She muttered.
"On it!" Katie giggled, pressing the button again. Just like Scarlett thought, the bleachers began ascending with the same hum from last time.
(The Sauropods – LeShawna and Duncan)
LeShawna slowly awoke in the VR. Despite not actually sleeping, she felt groggy and let out a yawn. She looked around and noticed that she was moving. "Huh?" She looked around in surprise to find out that she was in a roller coaster car flying down the track. "What in the name'a LaShaniqua's hair curlers?!"
She looked over and saw Duncan still sleeping in the seat behind her. LeShawna reached over and slapped him across the face, quickly waking him up. "Ow! What the heck was that for?!" Duncan snapped, bringing a fist up to LeShawna's face. "You'd better have a very good reason for...Are we in a roller coaster car?" He asked, suddenly noticing his location.
"Yup, and it doesn't look like smiles up ahead." LeShawna answered. She pointed ahead where several inversions were present on the track.
"Aw crap, I always hated inversions on roller coasters." Duncan cursed. "They're just elements in coasters that make people puke!"
LeShawna and Duncan both screamed as the track flipped them upside-down and right-side up again several times over. The red car seemed to grind against the teal track creating sparks much to LeShawna and Duncan's terror. "What the heck, did we lose a wheel or something?!" LeShawna shouted over the noise of the wind flying by and the sparks.
"Uh, I think we have more trouble up ahead." Duncan gulped as they sped down an incline and through a hammerhead turn that sent them back in the direction they came, heading for another hill.
LeShawna looked ahead and saw a section of the track had been ripped from it's place, creating a gaping hole in the track. The two hugged each other in terror and screamed as their car headed straight for the gap, about to go over.
(The Raptors – Gwen, Trent, Harold)
The three teens spawned in a vast plain, almost nothing but grass for miles with some smaller mountains in the distance. Trent got up and spit out a mouthful of grass. "Yuck! How do you end up spawning with your mouth in the grass?" Trent wondered, wiping the dirt and blades of grass from his tongue with his hands.
Gwen stifled a laugh. "Looks like the VR has a sense of humor." She grinned. "No where the heck are we? There's almost nothing but grass for miles!"
"We appear to be in some sort of prehistoric prairie." Harold told them. "These were home to many creatures, mostly plant eaters and ostrich-like dinosaurs like the Gallimimus, Oviraptor, and Ornithomimus." He stated, putting a finger in the air matter-of-factly.
"Do you read dictionaries in your spare time?" Gwen questioned.
"How did you know?" Harold asked, somewhat surprised. "Have you been stalking me? If so, then I don't blame you, my life is very intriguing, just ask LeShawna!"
"Oh, I bet it is." Gwen said sarcastically, twirling a finger in the air.
"No really!" Harold said defensively. "One time in third grade, I was practicing my recorder. Naturally, I had already finished all my songs in my book so I decided to play around with the instrument." He continued. "I took the middle piece and stuck my finger into it."
"Brilliant decision." Gwen said, rolling her eyes.
"So anyway, my finger got stuck and I couldn't get it out. My parents didn't know what to do so they took me to the hospital to get it removed, but it turns out, all I needed to get it off was soap and warm water! Who knew?" Harold chuckled. 'Well, I guess I do now. Now I know what to do if such a situation ever occurs again." He said proudly.
Suddenly there was a rumbling, the force strong enough that is almost knocked Gwen off her feet. "Whoa! What's going on here?" She exclaimed, trying to keep her balance.
"STAMPEDE!" Trent screamed, pointing ahead of them where hundreds of Gallimimuses were running towards them, trampling the grass and anything else in its way.
"Looks like the dinosaurs didn't like your story!" Gwen remarked, slightly panicked. The three campers all screamed and ran in the opposite direction as the ostrich-like dinosaurs came tearing through the grassland.
(The Pterodactyls – Owen and Noah)
Noah spawned in what appeared to be a gift shop as there were several shelves filled with knick-knacks and stuffed turned around and saw Owen sleeping on the ground. "Wake up you buffoon." Noah snapped, kicking his gelatinous belly.
"Wah! I didn't eat the wedding cake, I swear!" Owen cried as he awoke with a start. "Oh, it's just you." He chuckled sheepishly before standing up. "Say, are we in a gift shop? Oh boy, I love stuffed animals!" He quickly reached over and grabbed a stuff triceratops with big eyes.
"You keep hugging that stuffed dinosaur tight while I look around and see where we are." Noah said, looking out the window. "We appear to be on some sort of street, I'm guessing a Main Street."
"Ooh, do they have any restaurants?" Owen wondered, dropping the stuffed dinosaur and running over to the window where he pressed his face up against the glass to look out. "Winston's Steak House? Where can I find one of those in real life!" Owen exclaimed. He left the window and ran out of the shop and right into the steak house, leaving Noah to face-palm and sigh. The bookworm trudged after his teammate and muttered something under his breath. [1]
(The Sauropods – Courtney and Scott)
Courtney and Scott spawned in what appeared to be an indoor water park. There was a jungle gym with a water coming out of fountains on roofs, in the pool, and pretty much anywhere else. A large barrel swayed back and forth on top as water trickled into it. When it was full, it would dump gallons of water down onto the structure.
On the other side of the pathway was a wave pool with beach chairs and a kiddie area. A large glass roof covered the water park, letting sunlight in. The locker rooms were to one side and the rest of the massive indoor pool area expanded past the jungle gym. By the locker rooms was a large window looking into the water park, a restaurant setting on the other side of the glass.
"Wow, this is a nice water park." Courtney marveled. "We must be in the resort's indoor water park, I see a restaurant through the glass over there." She said, pointing to the window.
"Wow, I've never been to a resort this fancy." Scott grinned. "The nicest place I've ever been to was a place called the Keystone Motel, and the rooms there were freezing! And the pools were practically on fire!" [2]
"Fascinating." Courtney rolled her eyes. "Now let's look for a way out of here, it may be nice, but winning the challenge would be better."
"We could go through the locker rooms over there." Scott said, jabbing a thumb at the clearly marked locker rooms.
"Oh well, yeah, I was just testing you to see if you were capable of finding your way around such a big and fancy resort." Courtney lied.
Scott rolled his eyes, knowing that she wasn't telling the truth. "So can you answer me one question?" Scott asked. "How come you're getting so buddy-buddy with Duncan all of a sudden, what about me?"
Courtney sighed, not wanting to talk about this at the moment. "I'm pretending to like him so I can secure his vote. That's all it means to me." She shrugged. "You know that we have a strong alliance though, right?"
"Uh...well, yeah, of course!" Scott nodded after stuttering a large amount.
(Outhouse Confessional- He's also got an alliance with the outhouse)
Courtney- "I'm actually kind of surprised Scott didn't get that I was doing the same thing to him." She rolled her eyes. "On the bright side, both Duncan and Scott think I'm allied with them. Plus, they both think I like them rather than the other so their minds are on that instead. Guys are much easier to manipulate than I thought." She chuckled. "But that's not my strategy!" She quickly added. "I'm not like the female version of Alejandro."
Courtney and Scot both headed towards the Woman's locker room to exit. Courtney stepped in and suddenly noticed Scott was following her. "What the heck?! Go through the guy's locker room you pervert!" She snapped.
"Oh please! It's a Virtual Reality simulator, there are no people in the locker rooms! Plus, they'd probably all be dead!" Scott argued.
"It's still wrong." Courtney shook her head, pushing Scott out of the locker room. The dirt farmer sighed and obliged, going into the men's locker room.
The camera waited outside of both locker rooms in the pool area. Suddenly, both Scott and Courtney came screaming out of the locker rooms at the same time and proceeded to hug each other in terror, staring at their respected room.
They then noticed that they were hugging each other and quickly let go, acting like nothing had happened. "Why did you run out?" Courtney asked.
"Why did you run out?" Scott returned.
"There was a giant snake in there!" Courtney exclaimed. "It was the width of a bookshelf, maybe bigger!"
"Really? There was a snake's tail in the guy's locker room!" Scott exclaimed. As soon as he said this, the snake emerged from the Woman's locker room and began slithering towards them, its tongue flickering in and out of its mouth,
"The snake must've been slithering around the locker rooms! When we went in, its head was in the girl's locker room and the rest of the body and tail was in the guy's locker room!" Courtney deduced.
"Who cares about what the stupid snake was doing!" Scott shouted. "It's coming at us right now!" He and Courtney both screamed and bolted with the snake coming after them at a surprisingly fast pace.
"Up the tower!" Courtney instructed before climbing a small ladder onto the first platform. She didn't pay mind to the spray of water coming at her as she ran up the stairs onto the second platform, Scott following her. She passed two slide entrances and continued down a rope bridge. She looked down to see the Titanaboa slithering around near the bottom, looking for a simple way up the jungle gym, which would normally be filled with happy children. The snake began rising, its long body and strong muscles allowing it to practically hover its neck in the air. The Titanaboa hissed and bared its fangs at Scott as it got closer.
"Gah!" Scott cried, jumping back. Courtney looking around and spotted a pipe on the ceiling that was carrying water along the structure. She grabbed it and much to Scott's surprise, she wrenched it from it's place with a metallic whine, sending water spraying everywhere. Courtney took the broken pipe and whacked the approaching snake in the head, sending it toppling back down into the shallow pool below.
"Well, it looks like we might be stuck up here for a little while." Courtney sighed after looking over the edge of the railing. "At least until we can find an escape from this tower without getting attacked by the snake. Then we've gotta find another way out of this water park." She muttered.
"Hey Courtney, I think I have an idea." Scott grinned, jabbing a thumb behind him at two water guns mountain onto the platform. With one press and hold of the button, they would spray unsuspecting passersby, or in this case, a monster snake.
(The Raptors – Eva, Izzy, Brick, and Jasmine)
"Dinosaur Traaaaaain, Dinosaur Traaaaaain, we're gonna ride, ride, ride, ride, riiiiide, the Dinosaur Traaaaaain!" Izzy sang, hanging from the bars overhead on the monorail.
"Uh, how do you know that song?" Brick questioned.
"Because she's got the IQ of a three year old." Eva remarked.
"Woo-hoo!" Izzy whooped, swinging back and forth on the bar until she let go, sending her flying into Eva's lap. "How's it hanging, toots?" She grinned.
"Yuck!" Eva grumbled, pushing Izzy off of her lap. "How long is this stupid train ride anyway?" She wondered.
"Well, judging by the outside of the monorail, I'd say we're heading into the park soon." Jasmine said. Everyone pressed their faces against the window to see the elevated train pass under a large stone arch with two giant wooden doors. The sign on top read: Primeval Park.
"I see a really big pool with a bunch of stands on one side." Brick observed. "Maybe it's some sort of water show, like at Seaville!"
"Ooh, I love the sharks." Izzy grinned.
"The dolphins are my favorite." Jasmine smiled. "They're so playful and happy, I could watch them for hours." She reminisced.
Suddenly, the Mosasaur came crashing out of the water, closing its jaws on the hanging shark and sinking back into the water sending a series of massive waves and splashes in all directions.
"Definitely not dolphins." Jasmine gulped, eyes wide.
(The Pterodactyls – Max and Geoff)
Geoff and Max awoke to find themselves face-first in a pile of sand and dirt. Max got up and spat out a mouthful of sand, followed by Geoff. "Ew!" Max shouted with disgust before continuing to spit and wipe of his tongue. "Evil should not be subjected to such horrors as having sand in his mouth!"
"I know man, it's one of the downsides to surfing and having beach parties." Geoff said, taking off his hat and dumping enough sand to make a sand castle. "But it's a small price to pay for that amount of fun!" He whooped.
"Yucky, what are these 'parties' you speak of?" Max wondered. "Evil doesn't do partying, he boogies by himself when no one is looking." He suddenly began to blush and regretted what he had said. "You never heard anything."
"You know it dude!" Geoff grinned.
Max turned around spotted something that made his eyes go wide at the sheer sight of its adorableness. "Come here you cutesy-wootsey adorable munchkin of a dinosaur!" He cooed , running from Geoff to go hug a baby Triceratops
"Whoa dude, I never knew you were into baby dinosaurs!" Geoff chuckled.
"Babies are my life you didn't hear that." Max said altogether, quickly covering up what he'd said. "The point is, these scaly huggle-muffins would make a most evil army! MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" He cackled.
"Uh, huggle-muffins?" Geoff questioned, scratching his head.
"I'll have to bring you back to my evil lair." Max said, picking up the baby dinosaur and carrying it under his arm. "Let's go temporary minion, we have much to do!" He commanded.
"You do realize that we're in a Virtual Reality challenge. When it's over, you won't have the baby dinosaur." Geoff pointed out. Max immediately stopped in his tracks, dropping the baby Triceratops. He just stood there, not blinking. And then he fell flat on his face and began to cry like a baby.
"It's not fair!" He whined, although it was muffled since he was still on his face.
Suddenly, Max felt a sharp pain in his rear and jumped up with a yelp. "What moronic peasant has injured my right buttock?!" He demanded, turning to face the attacker, which turned out to be the baby Triceratops.
"Timmy! How could you!" Max cried, falling on his knees. "You've betrayed me and all that isbad and evil!" He sobbed. "WHYYYYYYYYY!"
"Dude, calm down, it's a virtual dinosaur." Geoff said, raising an eyebrow.
(The Sauropods – Sky and Dave)
The two former lovers found themselves spawning on a sidewalk. A prairie landscape was on either side of the walkway with a jungle off in the distance. Up ahead was a station with some sort of attraction.
"Alright, I know we kind of hate each other but this is a challenge, and because of you we're on the same team." Sky coached. "We need to work together to get this done, then we can go back to hating each other.
Dave sighed. "You're right. But that's the last time you're gonna hear that from me!" He said confidently.
(Outhouse Confessional- Best Frienemies)
Sky- "I think Dave either wants to try and get back together and doesn't want to admit it, or he's trying to prove he can be better than me again, because that worked so well last time." She rolled her eyes. "I don't really know why he picked me first for the challenge, those are the only reasons I can think of. Maybe Chris bribed him to do it so there'd me more drama or something." She sighed.
Dave- "I chose Sky to be on my team because I wanna prove that I can beat her at something. That and Chris payed me twenty bucks to do it. Anyway, once I've accomplished that, I can win this game and I won't be associated with Sky anymore. Unless she wants me to of course." He said.
"Which way should we go?" Sky asked.
"Maybe the direction where there aren't a bunch of little raptor dinosaurs." Dave gulped, pointing down the path where several Deinonychus raptor dinosaurs were leaping out of the grass and landing on the pavement, baring their teeth and claws.
"Other way it is!" Sky exclaimed, turning around and heading for the attraction. The pack of Deinonychus were already after them, running about as fast, if not faster than Dave and Sky (Well, Dave at least).
Sky bounded over the railings of the queue line, followed by a less-athletic Dave and several Deinonychus. "Hurry up!" Sky shouted. She had arrived at the station to find a large glass Gyrosphere with two seats and a controller in it, along with a little screen.
"Where are we going?!" Dave cried as he ran through the queue rather than hurdling over it like Sky.
"We have no choice but to get into the Gyrosphere!" Sky shouted. She pressed a button on the control panel in the station and a glass door opened and she hopped into the glass ball.
Dave finally reached the station with a Deinonychus right on his tail. "Get in!" Sky screamed, her finger on a button in the Gyrosphere. Dave jumped in and Sky pressed the button, closing the Gyrosphere.
"That was a close one." Dave breathed as the Deinonychus pack clawed on the outside of the glass ball, trying to get in for a snack.
"And it's about to get closer!" Sky gulped, pointing next to Dave. He turned to see one of the Deinonychus had managed to get into the Gyrosphere. Dave let out a girly scream and kicked at the dinosaur. Sky pressed the button again and the door slid open, allowing Dave to kick the angry Deinonychus out. Sky quickly pressed the button one last time and the door closed before the other dinosaurs could get in.
"Let's shake these annoying raptors!" Sky said with a determined grin. She grabbed hold of the joystick and the Gyrosphere suddenly began moving forward, knocking off a few of the Deinonychus.
"I already hate this theme park." Dave muttered.
(The Pterodactyls – Dawn and B)
The two teens spawned in what looked like a steamy jungle with wet leaves on the ground and buzzy insects flying about. "Any idea what direction the coast is?" Dawn asked.
B shrugged and looked around. He opened his jacket and took out two screw drivers. The inventor held up a finger to signal hold on a second. Dawn nodded as B searched for the tall tree. He spotted one and his face lit up.
B strutted over to the tree and stabbed a screw driver in. He then embedded the second screw driver in higher. B proceeded to climb the tree using the screwdrivers until he was high up to look out over the rainforest.
Soon, B jumped back down with his screwdrivers, landing on a large mossy branch and surfing his way down lower until he was able to jump onto the ground without virtual injury. B grinned and pointed behind Dawn. "We go that way?" She asked. B nodded and began moving along, quickly followed by Dawn.
(The Sauropods – Amy, Dakota, and Rodney)
The three teammates found themselves spawning in a canoe that was gently floating down a river. On both sides was steamy jungle and misty rainforest. On the left there was an Apatosaurus munching on some vines that hung out of its mouth.
"Those things eat plants, right?" Amy asked nervously as she paddled along the river.
"Well, it's eating some right now." Dakota said. She sat in the middle of the canoe with Rodney behind her and Amy in front of her. Because she was in the middle, she didn't have to paddle.
"How come she's not paddling?" Rodney complained.
"Because, I shouldn't have to." Dakota answered, turning around to face the farm boy. "You're all the muscles and besides, I didn't spawn with one." She smiled. "Wow, I'm really starting to sound like Sam now." She winced.
Rodney looked at Dakota and his eyes turned into hearts. His vision was surrounded by pink cherubs and hearts with Dakota in the middle, looking more confused than ever.
(Outhouse Confessional- Here we go again...)
Rodney- "I think I forgot how stunning Dakota is." Rodney marveled. "She and I will be the best couple on the show! Sure, she's dating Sam right now, but she can break up with him and make it work. I mean, it worked for Bridgette and I until I moved on. She's never been the same." Rodney shook his head solemnly.
"Rodney, zone out." Amy commanded, snapping her fingers in an extremely bossy fashion.
"No problem." Rodney slurred his words in a lovestruck fashion. He hung his head and stared lovingly at the back of Dakota's blonde hair.
"Alright Dakota." Amy said. "I have an alliance proposition for you. You see, Sadie unfortunately got eliminated, and Katie doesn't seem so sure she wants to stick with me anymore for some reason." She began. "So, I was thinking you and I could align!"
"I don't know, I'm kind of friends with Dawn right now. She might not approve." Dakota said.
"Oh, don't worry. I won't do anything to Dawn, and besides, you don't want to seem like a child who's gotta check in with her mom, do you?" She asked.
Dakota bit her lip in deep thought. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the three campers, behind them lurked something in the water. A pair of eyes and the top of a large, scaly head emerged from the water for a moment before sinking back below the surface.
(Outhouse Confessional- Will She or Won't She? This isn't Marriage, right?)
Amy- "I have no intentions on keeping Dawn around for that long. I just said that to persuade Dakota to join me." She said smugly. "Right now Katie is on the outs, and Dakota might be on the in. I'll have to check in with Courtney to make sure she's still sort of solid."
"Oooh, interesting." Chris grinned from his chair next to Chef. As per usual for the VR challenges, the host and co-host sat next to each other on their own lawn chairs. One of the large screens for the VR sat in front of them as they watched the action. "Well, it looks like Amy's up to no good, being her devious self again!" Chris observed.
"I'm surprised none of them got eaten by dinosaurs!" Chef chuckled. "But it looks like some of them are about to!"
"Who will be devoured by blood-thirsty dinosaurs? Who will make it to the beach before the island is bombed by the army?" Chris asked the audience. "Find out when we return on Total...Drama...Unfinished Business!"
~A/N~ As you very well have probably figured out by now, Primeval Park is a direct copy, with a few differences, of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. If you have not seen either movie I suggest you do so. The second and third movies in the series aren't that great, you can watch them if you want :P (Jurassic Park is the first movie and Jurassic World is the fourth movie).
I tried to describe some of the dinosaurs well since not everybody knows what they look like, but some like Apatosaurus are pretty simple. Also something to note, I'm using the dinosaur designs from the Jurassic Park movies, so if you've got a problem with that, then too bad.

[1]- Winston's Steak House is the name of a restaurant on Main Street in Jurassic World. I just figured Owen would probably immediately see that and go for it
[2]- The Keystone Motel is the name of an episode (and a place) in Steven Universe, which I recently got hooked on. If you have not seen it, it is a seriously good and addicting show. It may seem silly or stupid in the first two episodes, but stick through it and it gets good!
