Episode 6: A League of Their Own

Today was the day...the day that everyone has been waiting for. The season finale of Total Drama: Qalito Island! The world couldn't be more excited. The views have skyrocketed, and this has been the highest-rated season of Total Drama ever with views skyrocketing every week. Of course, that meant that the show had been renewed for a second season.

Due to the intense success of the season, the network and producers wanted to do something a little bit different from the show in determining the winner...and that was holding a live tournament at Nocturne City, a rural city on Qalito Island. This was going to be the first tournament in Total Drama history, but this tournament idea had always been the concept of Shelly and her father since the revival of the series.

"Nocturne City here we come!" Max threw her hand up in excitement as the remaining twelve contestants where buckled up in their seatbelts and sitting in a bus being escorted to Nocturne City. Everyone was feeling fine except for Max and Dylan who felt a weird awkward tension in the air. Max was feeling ill as she held her hand on her stomach, looking like she was about to puke. The contestants had just been informed with the fact that this was the season finale a couple of hours ago.

"The final twelve have been chosen and the teams have been disbanded. And now our final twelve are on their way to Nocturne City where the very first Total Drama tournament will be held, making one for the history book." Josh narrated. As he was talking people from all walks of life were walking and standing in front of the large stadium. The area was surrounded by advertisements, promoting the season finale.

Josh was standing in front of the stadium holding a microphone in his hands and being recorded by the cameraman. "The entire island of Qalito is bustling with excitement and celebrating the season finale of Total Drama. Everyone from around the world has gathered here to Nocturne City to watch the live season finale of Qalito Island. It's sure to be a treat." Josh cleared his throat as he watched the audience stand up and clap.

"Okay, cut." He said. The cameraman put the camera down. Josh was wearing a suit and dress pants and a red tie. "Did you get all of that camera? Did you get a good angle?" He asked as he was adjusting his tie.

"Perfect." The camera replied.

Grimmy was brimming with excitement. "I can't believe it's the season finale!" She cheered.

"I know," Lulu replied. Though Lulu was feeling a little nervous. "But what if I mess up? I should just quit."

"No!" Grimmy looks Lulu in the eye and reassures her. "You aren't going to quit! You're going to do great, just get up on that stage and be the best Lulu that you can be!" Grimmy gives Lulu a playful punch and Lulu smiles a bit; she wasn't quite over her nerves, but she was still starting to feel a little better.

'You can all get excited all you want because I'm going to be the next winner!" Asuka declared.

"Don't go getting ahead of yourself now," Jewel replied. She put her hand on Asuka's shoulder and it caused Asuka to blush. "Besides, you look really cute today." Jewel kisses Asuka on the cheek and her face turns red.

"I-I-I-I-" She stuttered not knowing how to respond.

"Why don't we all have a friendly competition?" Brooke suggested. Everyone gave Brooke a death stare as they were all still mad at her. Lewis looked at her and chuckled a bit, but Brooke wasn't dumb and knew that Lewis was the reason as to why she was a social outcast.

"The liar continues to lie."

"Cut the crap Lewis, I knew that it was you who made up all those lies about me."

"You can't prove anything…" Lewis shrugged and walked away, but Brooke kept staring at her.

Daniel stood there in silence as the rest of his castmates were talking amongst themselves. He honestly wasn't feeling too left out, seeing as he didn't make too many friends on Qalito Island.

"Daniel!"

The voice sounded familiar and the mobster knew exactly who it was. "Abraham?" He turned around to see Abraham standing right there in full. Daniel smiled. "What are you doing here?"

"I came here to support you silly! You are my best friend after all…" He hugs Abraham, but things were a tad bit awkward between the two of them. Especially with Daniel who felt that being called Abraham's friend. "My best friend." He assured him again to make sure that he understood.

"Yeah… Friends…"

Max walked closer to the entrance gates of the stadium, but she ended up bumping into Dylan. "I'm so sorry." She apologized.

"It's fine…" He replied.

Things got awkward between the two of them. They hadn't talked or seen each other since the last filmed episode of Total Drama: Qalito Island a while ago. Since the two of them had sex, things had been getting awkward between the two of them. "I should get going…" The both of them ran in different directions with Dylan running into Adrian.

"Hey, Dylan! Long time no see."

"Is that Adrian?"

"Yep! I couldn't miss the big season finale, now could I? Besides, I have a gut feeling that you're going to win."

"Yeah hopefully…" Dylan had other things on his mind.

Adrian noticed that Dylan seemed a bit distracted. "You okay?"

"Nothing… It's just that me and Max had sex the other day."

Adrian was shocked. "Wait… what?!"

Dylan nodded. "I know and it was awkward… It was my first time and now I think Max doesn't want to speak to me again. "Flashback played in Dylan's mind as he thought back to the night that he and Max had sex. He wanted to stop thinking about it, but his mind wouldn't let him. "I wish I could just stop thinking about it!"

Adrian laughed.

"Total Drama is sexist! It favors males over females!" An angelic voice shouted.

Adrian and Dylan remembered the voice. "It can't be!"

"Stop Total Drama! Cancel it!" It was Aabidah! She came to watch the season finale and she was doing what she does best and that was protesting inequality. She was screaming at fellow citizens who were very uncomfortable with loud shouting. Adrian and Dylan both facepalmed and sighed.

Backstage everyone was getting ready, dressing up, getting their head done, and practicing their performance for the finales. Lulu was staring at herself in the mirror as she kept worrying about stepping out on stage. She was finishing up the final touches of her hair as she was brushing it and talking to herself.

Grimmy walks up to her and grabs the brush. She starts brushing Lulu's hair. "Are you nervous?"

Lulu sighed. "I am. This is different than just being around sixteen other people… This is the finales!"

Grimmy nodded and looked at Lulu in the eyes, which startled her a tiny bit. "Don't worry, it's no big deal… This is the finales! The season finale! This will determine who wins, so no need to be nervous."

"Right," Lulu replied and pulled herself together.

Corey walked by and heard everything. "You're never going to win if you keep being nervous…" He said, not even talking to the two of them, just saying what he had to say and leaves. Lulu kept replaying what he said in the back of her mind as her nerves only got worse.

"You can do this Lulu, you can do this Lulu, you can do this Lulu." She said to herself.

Jun ends up bumping into Corey who was still wearing the bag over his head. "So, you're wearing that bag out on the stage?" Corey asked.

"Yes," Jun responded. "My hideous face won't be shown on live tv."

"You call. But it's going to be your downfall." Corey responded. He walked away, and Jun knew deep down that Corey was right, but he didn't want to admit it to him.

Max was in the bathroom and she was feeling sick. She had been throwing up, ever since she and Dylan slept together. Max whipped off her lips and looked at a stick. She analyzed the stick as she saw two equal signs. She was shocked but not surprised and gulped. "Oh no… I'm pregnant."

The host of Total Drama: Qalito Island, Shelly stands in the center of the stage, holding a cane in her hand. She looked very different from the last time we saw her. But this was because it was the season finale of the show. Her blonde hair was now curled up and she was wearing a long white dress. She looked at the stage as the crowd went wild, thousands of people were in attendance.

Shelly clears her throat. "Welcome one and all, to the Total Drama Qalito Island Season Finale!" She welcomed and the crowd roared with excitement. The camera pans backstage as the final eleven were all dressed up and watching from the back. "I'm Shelly your host and I am back baby! I learned a lot when I was in rehab and I hope to share everything I learned here tonight, as we chose the winner of Total Drama Qalito Island."

The crowd goes wild once again.

"Unlike previous seasons of Total Drama, this year the winner will be determined by a tournament. It's every person for themselves as there can only be one winner to take home the crown of one million dollars." As the roaring cheers from the crowd continued fireworks went off. Shelly bowed as she turned around. "Now, I've been doing a lot of talking, so I'll shut up and bring them out."

Shelly walks away as tiny little circles open up and the final eleven all rise up. Each one of them was dressed up in their fancy attire. From their hair being done to wearing suits and dresses, they made sure they'd look the best of the best while out on stage. Each one of them had a determined look on their faces, more so than usual as this was the season finale.

"But there's one more surprise...we're bringing someone back!"

Everyone was surprised with even some of the contestants speculating on who was going to be returning. She pointed over to an empty circle as it uncovers, and a person started rising. It was Adam. Lulu of all people was the most shocked. Adam glances at Lulu and winks at her. She became a little happy.

"Due to popular demand, and a fan vote, Adam was brought back to complete in the season finale," Shelly explained. "With twelve contestants, who is going to come out as the winner of Total Drama Qalito Island? Let the games begin!"

The crowd got out of their seat and went wild yet again. "The twelve contestants will be competing in three rounds, all determined by a tournament bracket. Twelve will compete in round one, four in round two and the final two will have an all-out duel in the last round." Shelly snapped her fingers as a bracket showed up.

Photos of all twelve of them start to pop up and paired them up into brackets. The first group to go up against each other was JUN VS. COREY VS. ASUKA. The second group was MAX VS. JEWEL VS. DANIEL. The third group was DYLAN VS. LULU VS. GRIMMY. And the final group of the first round was BROOKE VS. LEWIS VS. ADAM. The contestants gathered their thoughts and reacted to the news.

"So, I'm going up against Corey?" Jun asked. He was mumbling because he was still wearing the paper bag over his head.

Max and Daniel gave each other an awkward stare, while Brooke grinned at Lewis and Lulu smiled at Grimmy. Grimmy walked up to Lulu and gave her a handshake. "I won't go easy on you, just because we're best friends!"

Lulu nodded. "I wouldn't want it any other way!"

A few minutes passed and it was now time for the first match in the first round to begin. Shelly stood a little off that edge of the stage as she watched the cheering crowd. "Welcome back to the Total Drama Qalito Island season finale! It's time for the first three competitors to compete." As she said the first three competitors are brought up on the stage. "The first three competitors will be duking it out on this stage…"

She snapped her fingers and a stage popped up. The stage transformed into a military base like setting with rocks, walls, mud pits, and barbed wire fences surrounding the arena. There were also various buckets filled with water balloons. Jun, Corey, and Asuka were all dressed up in military camo gear with the three of them all having black squared make-up underneath their eyes.

"The first match in the first round will be a water-balloon fight! But what's inside the balloons will be a mystery. If you get hit, you are automatically knocked out of the competition. The last one standing will make it to the semi-finals!" She explained. The three competitors were ready to go at it and had fierce looks on their faces. "Now enough talking… On your marks, get set, go!" Shelly snapped her fingers and a VS. screen popped up showing pictures of Jun, Corey, and Asuka with a symbol of the word VS. appearing in the middle. The screen disappears.

Corey jumped over a fence with his athletic skills, Jun looked at a mud pit and was horrified because he didn't want to get dirty and Asuka was jumping from rock to rock, acting like she was Frogger.

"Eww… Mud!" Jun shivered.

As Jun was acting scared of a mud puddle, Jun and Asuka grabbed water balloons and started to throw them at each other. But due to both of them having fast reflexes, they were able to dodge the balloons. Some of the things that came out of the balloons once they hit the floor were shocking: with foot powder, slime, poop, and ants all coming out of the balloons.

"Damn Corey you're pretty good." Asuka noticed. She hides behind a rock as Corey continues to throw balloons at her.

"I know… It's from years of training football."

Asuka studies the area and tries to make a sneak attack. She realized that Corey made an opening that he shouldn't be able to escape from and decides to use that to her advantage. "I'll have him and no time…" Asuka grabs a balloon and throws it at Corey, but Corey had a keen eye and was able to dodge it! With slime bursting from the balloons. Asuka was astonished. "What the hell?! How did you manage that?"

Corey grabs a balloon and throws an aerial shot at Asuka, knocking her out of the competition. The balloon was filled with itching powder and it caused Asuka to itch. "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Asuka starts scratching herself and running in a circle.

"Asuka is out of the competition, giving her twelfth place in Total Drama: Qalito Island!" Shelly announced as the crowd reacted in various ways: from sad to happy. The scoreboard changed to reflect Asuka's brand new ranking as she's been eliminated from the competition.

"Oh no... Asuka's out." Jun said. Jun swallowed his spit as Corey was standing there tossing a balloon in his right hand.

"Ready or not, here I come!" Corey throws the balloon at Jun, but Jun dodges it. The balloon was filled with a swarm of bees that began buzzing and chased after Jun. "I can't get stung, I'm already ugly!" Jun wasn't watching where he was going and ends up tripping over a rock and lands in the mud. His paper bag falls off of his face. Jun was horrified.

"No… No… No… No…! I'm all dirty!" Jun started crying. "I can't do this anymore!" He screamed and cried into the palm of his hands. But no one was paying attention to Jun, as all they could do was look at his face. The crowd couldn't take it anymore and all they could do was laugh at Jun's deformed face.

Jun heard the echoes of the laughter going on and felt sad. "Don't look at me!" He started crying into his shirt, wanting to hide his face as the crowd's laughter worsened. Some of the people in the crowd were taking pictures with their smartphones and pointing at Jun. Jun just kept crying.

Corey hated seeing everyone laughing at Jun and stood up for him, taking center stage. "That's enough everyone!" He shouted. His shouting caused everyone to become quiet. "As someone who has been doing Youtube for a long time, I've been able to tolerate trolling, bullying and people saying mean things about me. But I will not stand here and allow for someone to get made fun of. Jun is my friend, and he may not see it, and might not act like it all the time, but he is a beautiful person, both inside and out. And if you all don't shut up about the way he looks, I'm going to give you something to laugh about." He threatened. What he said shut everyone up and they all kept their opinions to themselves.

Jun got teary-eyed. No one had ever stood up to him before, like the way that Corey just did for him. Jun might not have been the type of person to do long-form relationships but having a good friend like Corey was something that he never had. Jun forgot all about his insecurity issues and smiled at Corey defending him.

Corey turns back to Jun and nods his head. Jun gets up, no longer caring about what people thought about him, and thanked him. "No one has ever stood up for me like that."

Corey shrugged. "No don't go getting soft on me Jun." Corey balled up his fist.

Jun giggled. "Shut up." Jun did the same and the boy's fist-bumped. "Now shall we get back to the game?"

"I already started." Corey grabbed a balloon and threw it at Jun, but he was able to dodge it by doing three triple backflips. Jun slides in the mud, no longer caring about getting dirty and grabs a balloon and throws it at Corey, who was able to dodge it. "Weak shot.'

"I'm just warming up!" Jun grabs three balloons and throws all three of them at Corey. But Corey picks up a rock and slams the balloons back at Jun with his rock, but Jun was able to dodge them by bending down.

The two of them kept throwing balloons at each other back and forth like a game of pong, both were starting to get tired. Wanting to end the game sooner, they both picked up one last balloon. They gave each other one final nod before finally throwing the balloon at each other. As Corey was able to dodge the balloon, Jun wasn't because Corey threw it in a way that made it undodgeable. Jun is hit with the balloon full of milk and gets wet.

Jun sighed. The crowd stood silent for a quick second, but they gave a round of applause for the epic game between the two contestants, it even caused Shelly to start crying. "That was so beautiful." She blows her nose.

"Yes!" Corey cheered.

Jun walked up to Corey and gave him a handshake. "That was a good game."

"It was."

"Thank you!" Jun hugs Corey and the two share a kiss.

"With Jun being knocked out of the game, Jun is now in eleventh place!" Shelly said.

The three contestants finished up and cleared the stage. It was now time for the next match of the first round to begin. "Next up is a baking competition. The three contestants will need to bake the best pastry to impress former Total Drama finalist Owen, but the catch is that they only have one hour to bake! Along with the CEO of the Cheaper by the Dozen, Ilana Marisol, and famous reality tv show host Ian Daring"

"Nice to be here." She waved in her British accent.

"It's whatever." Ian shrugged.

She snapped her finger and the stage transformed yet again. This time it transformed into a mini kitchen with three ovens and various kitchen supplies. "Now let's bring up our contestants!" She snapped her fingers, and the three contestants were brought out: Max, Jewel, and Daniel. Each one of them was wearing an apron and a chef's hat. "Let's get this cooking showdown started… one… two… three… let's go!"

Shelly snapped her fingers and a VS. a screen popped up showing pictures of Max, Jewel, and Daniel with a symbol of the word VS. appearing in the middle. The screen disappears and the three of them rush off to grab their supplies and ingredients to start baking. The three of them were in a rush as the timer started going off.

However, an awkward encounter happened between Max and Daniel as they both try to grab the baking powder. They didn't say anything for several seconds and didn't even want to look at each other in the eye. But with them being on a timer, they knew that they had to do something, so they both cracked.

"Hey-"

"Daniel, I'm pregnant!" Max confessed.

Daniel stood there paralyzed as Max grabbed the baking soda and rushed off to begin baking.

"Hey, can someone make a cake?" Owen asked and giggled as Shelly looked at Own with disgust. "What? I like cake… and ice cream… and truffles…" Owens' mouth began to water as he daydreamed about sweets.

Backstage Lulu was pacing back and forth as her nerves were getting to her. She was biting on her nails with her anxiety racing through the roof. "I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it." She said as in the background the television playing a live feed of the show and it showed the contestants baking. She looked at the television and swallowed her spit. "I'm going up next…"

"Are you still feeling nervous?" Adam asked.

"A little bit," Lulu responded, blushing at the sight of Adam.

"Hey, it's okay to be nervous… I am too!"

"You are?" Lulu asked, surprised by his calm demeanor. "You don't seem like it…"

Adam chuckled and rubbed his nose. He was a little nervous talking to Lulu. He takes out his camcorder and points it at Lulu. "Like the start of a pilot episode, you just gotta wait to find your audience."

"Huh?" Lulu asked.

"What I'm saying is… You have to not focus on everyone else, just focus on yourself and you'll find your groove." Adam scratched the back of his head. "I feel stupid." He facepalmed. "I don't know why I used a media reference."

Lulu laughed and blushed, Adam, did the same thing. "Lulu, you'll do great out there, I know it! I'll be rooting for you. I gotta go though, it's almost time for me to go up too." Adam kisses Lulu on the cheek and walks away. But that didn't stop Lulu from blushing.

On stage Max, Jewel and Daniel were putting up the finishing touches on their desserts. Max made a fancy decorated chocolate cake; Jewel made a peanut butter sandwich and Daniel made a cupcake that was half-way burned because he was too busy thinking about Max's big news.

"Finished!" They chimed together as the timer counted down to zero.

"Time's up, now it's time to present your dessert to the judges."

The three of them put their plates in front of the three judges. Each plate had a compilation of the three contestants' dishes. Owen was the most excited to eat out of the judges. "I'm ready to chow down." Owen does what he does best and eats the entire plate. He chews his food for a quick second and then swallows it whole, which grosses everyone out.

"Quite a unique fellow…" Ilana Marisol explained.

"Despicable," Blake said.

The other judges start eating their food, but Max and Daniel couldn't help but look at each other. Daniel was pissed at Max's news. "Why the hell didn't you tell me that you got pregnant earlier?"

Max shrugged. "I don't know… I just found out today."

"Are you trying to trap me?"

"No! What the hell?"

"How could you let this happen…?"

Max felt insulted. "Uh… It takes two to tango."

Daniel was getting more and more furious over the fact that Max was having a baby. He was becoming blinded with rage. "Forget about that. Once you get the abortion, everything will be fine." He said, but she was taken aback by what he said and just ignored him.

The two stood in silence before looking back at the judges who were chowing down on the food. "Only one of these is divine." The cold judge Blake said.

"Sweet… Salty… but mouthwatering." Ilana was still chewing, but she knew which one she wanted to win.

Owen farted as he was still in awe of how good the desserts were. "Excuse me…" Owen laughed as the rest of the contestants were disgusted by Owen's horrible smelling fart.

The three judges cast their votes in and are tallied up. Shelly walks over to the constants and flips her staff around. "The judges have voted…" She said. "And the person moving on to the next round is…." She said as three lights move around the trio of contestants, each one hoping to make it to the next round.

"Max!" The spotlight shines on Max, but she wasn't looking thrilled as she had a lot on her mind. She glanced over at Daniel, in hope that he would say something or at least apologize but he didn't. The three ended up leaving the stage and the next began.

The next round had begun but Dylan, Lulu, and Grimmy had been holding on tight to their ropes now for several minutes, neither one of them in a rush to give it all up. They were holding onto ropes that were attached to the ceiling. Beneath them was a tub full of jelly. The challenge was to try and hold on to a rope for 30 minutes. If you fall off the rope you're eliminated.

"You see as someone who is in the mob, holding onto this rope is easy!" Dylan bragged.

Grimmy rolled her eyes and looked at Lulu, who had her eyes closed as she didn't want to look at the spectators who were cheering her on. "You got this Lulu!"

"Add some more honey!" Shelly ordered the producers. Honey pours down on the rope and gets on the hands of the contestants hanging on to the ropes. Dylan tried his best to hang on tight, but he ended up falling into the jello.

"Dylan is out!"

"Shit," Dylan said as he was now covered in jello. He wipes it off.

Lulu still had her eyes closed as Grimmy was beginning to slide down. "Look Lulu, I'm about to fall, but I know that you got this! You need to get over your shyness."

"What, you can't do that?!" Lulu cried out.

Grimmy nodded her head and decided to sacrifice. "I need to sacrifice myself as the ultimate heroic move of friendship!" She cried as she fell into the jello. Curious about how the jello tasted she started eating some and loved the taste. "This isn't half bad." She starts stuffing more and more jello into her mouth.

Lulu swallowed her spit. She was happy that she was the last one standing but hated the fact that that meant she had to continue withstanding on the stage.

"And with that, Lulu makes it to the final four!"

The crowd cheered for Lulu, but Lulu started shaking and closed her eyes again.

The final match of the first round had been underway for a couple of minutes now. The challenge was to find puzzle pieces that had been scattered around the underwater-themed stage to try and put together the pieces of a mermaid puzzle. All three of the competitors were neck and neck, but the rivalry between Brooke and Lewis was heating up.

"I only need one more piece," Adam said as he was finished with putting together a few of his puzzle pieces.

Brooke and Lewis were both swimming underwater. Brooke ends up finding a puzzle piece that Lewis hid behind a rock. "Got it." She said, but it was hard to hear due to her location. She started swimming up.

Lewis tried to find the puzzle piece that he hid, but he couldn't find it. He sees that Brooke was swimming on her way up the shoe and realized that she "stole" his puzzle piece and that made her furious. He chased after her.

"Gonna make it to the final four." Brooke gasped for air.

"Not on my watch!" Lewis tries to shake the water off of him. Lewis grabs the puzzle piece, but Brooke wasn't going to give up. "This is mine, I hid it!"

Brooke rolled her eyes. "Of course, you did, because you're a liar and a snake!"

"I'm not a snake, I'm a strategist!"

"So, a liar."

"You're just mad because your reputation is ruined."

"Yes, I'm angry! Because no one wants to be my friend anymore because of you!"

"It's called a game, play it!" Lewis replied. But the two continued being stubborn and kept on hurling insults at each other. They ended up pulling on the puzzle so hard, that the puzzle ends up falling out of their hands.

"Huh?" Adam, who was on his way to try and find his final puzzle piece notices the puzzle piece that Lewis and Brooke dropped on the ground and he picks it up. "This is it!" He said. He rushes over to his puzzle and perfectly places the puzzle piece in. He rushes to the button and presses. "Finish!"

"And with that Adam wins and makes it to the second round!"

Adam cheered but Lewis and Brooke weren't too happy. They glared at each other and ended up fighting. You would think that the final round would bring the two of them closer together, but nope...it only made their rivalry worse.

The crowd cheered loudly as the final four was given enough time to prep before coming on the stage. The stage had changed again and this time it looked more like a house with rooms and stairs. Shelly stands on the center of the stage as she looks at the crowd expressing their excitement for the tournament. "Hello everyone and welcome back to the Qalito Island League." She announced. "The final four has been decided, so let's bring them out."

The final four are brought onto the stage: Max, Corey, Lulu, and Adam were all smiling with each one of them having a fiercely determined look on their faces. Max looked down as she was still thinking about what Daniel said. Lulu and Adam turned to look at each other and smiled.

"Glad you made it to the final round," Adam said.

"You are too," Lulu replied. They both blushed.

"Let's both give this thing all we got." Adam reached out and the two high five each other.

Adam and Max started walking down the stairs. Corey did too, but he turned to look at Lulu. "You're never going to win if you can't find out what you're missing. Until then Lulu, me, and you are going to battle in the finales...I'll show you why you won't win this season." Corey threatened the poor girl as he walked down the stairs and left Lulu speechless. Corey thought about his brother and his dyslexia. "I'll win this for you." He said as the final four all reach the bottom of the stairs.

Adrian walked into the lavatory. The lab was filled with scientists who were busy doing their work. Typing on the computers and doing research. The lab had various pictures, new articles, and book findings of Qalito Island everywhere. Adrian was holding the Q stone and handed it to Keith. "Here's the merch."

"Excellent."

Keith walks over to a giant test tube and places the stone in the center. The scientist starts typing on the computer and the stone begins to glow green. "All systems running sir."

"Great, now begin!"

The scientists begin their hard work as the room starts to get dark. The stone dissolves and a cloud appears from within the tube, surrounded by static electricity. The lights flicker on and off and the room begins shaking. Keith's smile grows wider and wider as the room shakes even more viciously. Keith was enjoying it as people were falling and being blown to other parts of the room as strong winds started to blow.

It finally stops as a large dragon-like creature is formed. The most noticeable thing about it was that it had glowing red eyes. It roared. The sounds of its roar were so strong that it ended up breaking the tube of the glass.

Keith clapped and walked up to the creature. "Welcome back...Qalito!" A sinister smirk appears on Keith's face as he smiles at the creature. Keith was planning something...but to what that plan is… is anyone's guess.
