World Tour!

~Skipping After Theme Song~

At this moment, the plane was now up in the air soaring through the sky to its first destination of the competition. Only Chris and Chef knew where they were going. Everyone else would just have to wait until they could leave the plane. For now they were all seated in the mess room either talking among their peers or on their own personal devices. Time on the plane felt like an eternity before Izzy pointed out that she saw lots and lots of sand below. A few more people went up and had a look through the windows. Surprisingly, Izzy was right, they were flying miles over sand.

Noah pointed out that they must me entering somewhere in Europe. Places like Egypt or Isreal for example. As the plane began to approach the ground Noah and Harold took notice of the pyramids. They had arrived in Egypt, right next to the pyramids themselves. Once landed, everybody exited the plane, being greeted by a heat wave. The area around them was nothing more then dunes of sand. The heat from the sun was compared to that of being in a giant oven. Luckily, water bottles were handed out to everyone as were hats that looked just like the hat Indiana Jones wore. This helped die the heat down a little, not a lot but at least everyone wouldn't die from a heat stroke. Then Chris came out in front dressed as an Egyptian pharaoh.

"Welcome everyone to Egypt, home of the ancient pyramids, the Sphinx, and the mysteries held within. Here at the pyramids is where your first challenge will be taking place." He began.

"Are you kidding me? We have to work out in this heat? It's like a zillion degrees out here!" Heather complained.

"Calm down, I know the heat is a bit much but thee sooner the challenge begins and the faster you guys work the sooner we can leave. Plus hats and water bottles have been passed out to keep you all cool and hydrated." Chris said.

"So what exactly do we have to do?" Gwen asked.

"I'm glad you asked that Gwen. As I'm sure you're all aware, the ancient Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens. The pharaohs were buried in pyramids of many different shapes and sizes from before the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom and quote."

"For your first challenge, you can decide on whether you want to go over or through the pyramid. If you decide on going through the pyramid, you'll recieve maps to help get you through to the other side. Be warned, there are most likely traps in the most unlikely of places. So watch your step and don't tough anything. The Egyptians were very attatched to their treasures so unless you want to be cursed for life you better not touch anything. If you ever heard of the guys who messed with King Tut's tomb and paid a heavy price you'd know what I mean."

"Oh please, there are no such thing as curses. It's all in your head." Courtney said as she pointed to her head.

"Oh really, is that a fact? Well then by all means please touch anything that looks valuable and pretty. Ignore the fact that I warned you to protect you from certain death." Chris rambled. "If you think curses are just some crazy mumbo jumbo then why not go ahead in the pyramid to test that theory out for yourself?"

"Please, I'm not going to waste my time going through there when I can just as easily work my way over." Courtney said sounding determined.

"Uh huh, yeah." Chris nodded rolling his eyes. "If you're thinking about climbing over the pyramid then you'll have to work in pairs. Rope with grappling hooks will be provided to tie around your waist so if one falls or needs help getting up the other(s) can grab and pull the rope. Now getting up is one thing but getting down is a whole different thing. If you're going to get down you'll need to take it slow and don't try to jump down. Unless you want to end up at the hospital with a broken leg or worse."

"I've got a question eh." Ezekiel said waving his hand in the air.

"Hold that question, because now's the time to get this challenge started." Chris said avoiding Ezekiel. "Pick which way you want to go and who you want to go with then we'll get going."

So everybody discussed it with one another. Deciding which way was the best to travel. Some like Bridgette, Geoff, and Alejandro would take a chance at climbing the pyramid. While others like Becky and Gwen would travel through the pyramid. Now Becky wanted to see if Duncan would come with her; unfortunately, Courteny had forced her way in the middle and was going to climb the pyramid with Duncan's help. Said something about needing his criminal skills to take on the challenge. Duncan tried to get out of it, he really did try, but Courtney wasn't going to let him go. This did upset Becky a little, but she wished him luck with a kiss on the cheek. Telling him she'd see him on the other side.

"Alright is everybody set? I need the ones climbing the pyramid on my right and the rest who are going through the pyramid to go on my left." Chris told them. Everyone got into positions, standing on the side they had to go. "Good, good, okay so everybody's clear on what the rules are? Going through the pyramid; don't touch anything, watch out for traps, and follow the map given to you and your group. Going up the pyramid; work together, take your time, and think before doing anything stupid."

As Chris explained this maps, ropes, and water bottles were passed out.

"Um I still got a question eh." Ezekiel said waving his hand in the air.

"Unless it's an emergency not now." Chris said. "Good luck and go!"

~Challenge One~

Wasting no time, everybody ran off to begin their conquest to the other side.

~Becky's POV~

I ran straight into the pyramid with Gwen and the others who choose to go through. Inside the structure was well built and smoothed out. The Egyptians really knew what they were doing when they built these pyramids. Walking a ways in we all came to a sudden halt when Owen pointed out three paths. Looking at the map there were indeed three paths shown, all leading to the other side so it didn't matter which way we all went. To make it more fun, Izzy suggested that we all split up and take a different path. Just to see what's along the way while heading out. We split into three groups; Leshawna, Harold, and DJ went down the path on the left; Owen, Noah, and Izzy went down the middle; that left the path on the right for me and Gwen.

We made our way down, making small conversations along the way. We talked about our boyfriends, about school, about our hobbies, and about other things. We did have a few things in common, drawing in our sketchbooks especially. If we had them right now we could stop and sketch some of the hieroglyphs on the walls. Luckily I brought my IPhone to take pictures during my travels. Can't wait to send these pictures out to my family and friends.

"So Becky how are things going with you and Duncan?" Gwen asked me.

"Super~! He's such a sweetheart, he really cares about me, he's funny, he's smart, he's helpful, and he's handsome. What more could you ask for in a guy?" I told her.

"I'm glad things are going well for you two."

"Thanks Gwen, now how about you and Trent? Now that you're both back together how's that working out?"

"Ever since we got back together we sort of started over. We're taking things slow and not letting anything come between us."

"I'm glad you guys are back together again. When I first watched the show you guys were my favorite couple. I knew when you both first stepped on the island and made eye contact I knew it."

"That's nice of you to say, thanks."

"No problem and hey since he went climbing with Geoff and Bridgette he'll have quite a story to tell."

"Same with us so long as this map is telling us that it'll lead us to the exit."

Even if we didn't have the map we could probably still get through the pyramid. Probably, but we're doing alright so far. At least in the pyramid its not so humid and hot as it is outside. Need to savor this before we reach the exit. No telling how long we'll be in Egypt. As we wondered further down the path something caught our eyes. On the left side of the wall were more hieroglyphs, but these were larger than the rest. Almost as if they were sending a message.

"Check this out, these hieroglyphs look to be sending out a message." I pointed out taking a closer look at them. Seeing if I could decipher it, if that's even possible.

What I saw were pictures of what looked like people being chased by what was either mummies or some messed up creature. Looked to be a warning but I wasn't 100% sure because there were different pictures all telling different things. I was getting all sorts of messages and I didn't know what to believe. Even Gwen was getting confused.

"Wait so there's some sort of bug and no, no wait I'm seeing a man and another man with a bird's head. Okay that's a little messed up. I don't know what these pictures are trying to tell us but it's probably nothing to worry about, I hope." She said.

"Maybe, but we should probably get going before something happens." I suggested leaning against the wall.

That was a big mistake. When I leaned against the wall I accidentally pushed a hidden button that was a trigger for a trap. The pictures on the wall ment more than just something to look at. When Chris said to watch out for traps he wasn't pulling our leg. Right across from us a hidden door opened up revealing a passageway. Both Gwen and I were curious, worried, no telling what was coming out that doorway.

"Gwen?"

"Yeah?"

"I've a bad feeling about this."

~Meanwhile/Normal POV~

Things were either looking up or down upon the rest of the cast. On the outside, those who were attempting to climb the pyramid were only so far to the top. Some like Alejandro had no trouble getting to the top, it was a real breeze; while others like Tyler and Lindsey were failing at this challenge miserably, couldn't even get up the first sand step. Lucky for them, Geoff, Trent, and Bridgette went back down giving them a hand.

Duncan and Courtney however were bickering away as they climbed upward. Mostly about their old relationship, all that they use to do together. Courtney just kept yelling at Duncan for being a fool and not working enough to fix what they once had. Duncan didn't believe a single word she said. He told her that it was all her fault because she couldn't stand him for who he was and just blew him off. She was blaming him for something she caused in the first place; not to mention she was making fun of Becky behind her back. She had crossed the line on that one. Duncan started telling her off about talking that way about his girlfriend and that if he wasn't changing for the better or if Courtney wasn't a girl he'd kick her ass. From there they just went on and on coming to no end to the argument.

On the inside it was just the same as outside though slightly better. There was a bit of arguing from Noah who was constantly reminding Owen and Izzy to not touch anything, just stay on the path so they could get out. Eventually the pair did listen, but not before Izzy accidentally hit a trigger on the wall opening a trap door where a group of scarabs came crawling out towards them. Now was the time for the trio to began running for their lives. As for DJ, Leshawna, and Harold, they were doing alright. They were walking down the path when DJ noticed some mummified artifacts and animals on a shelf. He noticed one of the animals was a dog which he felt bad for. Just as he was about to touch it Leshawna reached out and grabbed his wrist reminding him that it could be cursed. It was best to leave it alone or else. Thanking Leshawna, DJ pulled his hand away from the dog and continued with his companions outward.

~Back with Becky and Gwen/Still Normal POV~

A trap was activated, a doorway opened, anything could come out into the open. Even the undead that's been rudely awaken only to awake with a hunger for flesh. The girl's figured they should get the hell away from where they were right now. Unless they wanted to end up just like those idiots from the horror movies who either stand around, chit chat, or fail to notice the warning signs only to end up kicking the bucket. Seriously, it's so obvious to the watchers; unfortunately, they can't warn the actors about the danger they'll recieve momentarily.

The pair decided to make like a tree and leave. But just as they took a few steps away, a groaning sound stopped them in their tracks. Slowly turning their heads to look back, out of the doorway came a dried wrapped up hand. Then another hand just like it came out, followed by another and another. Soon the whole arm was coming out that followed out with a body and everything else. From the shriveled decayed skin, empty eye sockets, Boney fingers, deep groans, etc. Basically, it wasn't a pretty sight to look at.

"Oh my god, mummies!" Becky cried out terrified. "Run Gwen, run!"

Similar to the movie 'The Mummy' but without the death, ritual, hocus pocus stuff, and unspeakable danger that follows, these mummies had minds of their owns, and they were coming towards Gwen and Becky. They weren't moving fast nor were they moving slow. They moved moderato towards the girl's with their arms out and a need for human flesh. Quickly the pair began to run for the exit with the mummies right on their tail. In all the excitement Becky accidentally dropped the map. It was only when they reached a dead end that the realization of the map's disappearance was discovered.

"Oh no the map's gone! I must have dropped it while we were running." Becky said.

"Shit we're screwed!" Gwen said. "There's no way out of this."

As the mummies were closing in on the pair all hoped seemed grim. This looked like the end for them. With no way out it would take a miracle to get them out of this situation. Huddling together, the girl's panicked and cried for help as the mummies came closer. Suddenly, the ceiling up above them burst open. Chunks and pieces fell to the floor along with something else. It took a couple seconds for the dust to clear before everyone could see. Standing right in the middle in a heroic pose was none other then...

Doo-bee-doo-bee-do-bah!

Doo-bee-Doo-bee-do-bah!

A- (eighth rest) -GENT P!

Thank the good lord a hero has come! And a mammal no doubt! ;)

"Perry the Platypus?! Holy cow Gwen, it's Perry the Platypus! We're going to be rescued by the greatest secret agent in the world!"

That's right, Agent P decided to drop in on this party.

"Wait, we're being rescued by a platypus?" Gwen said raising an eyebrow for she found this hard to believe. "No offence but how's he going to take down all these mummies?"

"You'll see, Agent P's got all sorts of gizmo's and moves he uses to take evil down."

How right she was for Agent P pulled out a can of 'Mummy Be Gone' spray. Pushing the nozzle down which sent a dark brown fragrance at the mummies knocking them down to the ground in pieces. Shortly after they turned to dust. Whatever was in that spray was some powerful stuff.

"Whoa..." Was all Gwen managed to say. She was left speechless after seeing that quick thinking.

"Yay Agent P!" Becky cheered jumping for joy. "You saved us from the unthinkable those mummies could have done to us. Thank you so much, and by any chance could you help us get out of this pyramid? We got a show to do and we lost our map."

Lucky for them, Agent P knew just how to get the girl's out.

~Outside of the Pyramid~

Most of the cast had already made it through or over the pyramid and we're now being sorted into their teams. Instead of the usual two teams, Chris decided to spice it up by adding in a third team. So far Geoff, Bridgette, Alejandro, Tyler, Owen, Noah, Izzy, Trent, DJ, Leshawna, Harold, Sierra, Cody, Heather, Lindsey, and even Ezekiel had completed the challenge and were put into their groups.

Team 1= Geoff, Bridgette, DJ, Leshawna, Harold, Lidnsey, and Ezekiel

Team 2= Alejandro, Izzy, Owen, Noah, Tyler, and Trent

Team 3= Heather, Cody, and Sierra

Those were the teams so far, but everybody was still waiting on those who had not made it to the other side. Lindsey pointed out that she spotted Courtney and Duncan up on top of the pyramid. She said she thought they looked like they were arguing. Heather just said it was nothing new. Taking action to speed things along, Chris grabbed a megaphone to talk to the pair.

"Hey up there! I get that you two don't like each other due to certain past collisions, but I need you two to work together if you're going to get down that pyramid!" Chris explained to them. "Here's some advice on how to get down without getting hurt! One of you needs to get down to the ground then help the other one down carefully! Don't go head first it's too risky! You gotta use your legs! Do you understand where I'm getting at?! Don't want to make a trip to the hospital!"

"Oh I'm sorry Chris but Duncan here's a huge ass!" Courtney cried out.

"I'm an ass? I'm a-let me tell you something Courtney if I'm such an ass then why is it I've moved on while you're still stuck in the past?" Duncan argued.

"I'm not stuck in the past. I just want to get it through that thick head of yours that you're an ass." She replied.

"Call me whatever you want but I'm getting off this hunk of rock and meeting up with Becky." Duncan said as he carefully climbed down from the top to get onto the next step.

Suddenly, the pyramid began to shake below Courtney and Duncan. Causing Duncan to almost loose his grip and Courtney fell on her butt. Everyone else on the ground watching them questioned what was going on and what was happening. Next thing that happened was one of the blocks on the pyramid melted away; and out flew Becky and Gwen who were holding onto Agent P who flew out on a jet pack into the air. All eyes went wide in shock as they watched the girl's flying with a platypus. Who would have expected such a thing like this to happen?

"Oh. My. God." Was all Harold could get out.

"What. The. Fuck." Was all Heather could get out of her mouth.

Nobody could take their eyes off of Agent P. He was holding the girl's as they came down for a landing with the use of the jetpack. The girl's let go of Perry once he was close to the ground for them to touchdown. He tipped his hat to them and everyone else before taking off into the sky.

"Thank you Perry the Platypus!" Becky and Gwen cried out at the same time as he took off.

"Perry the Platypus? I thought he looked familiar. Wow...Agent P in person and he brought you girl's out of the pyramid." Cody said taking his eyes off of the sky.

"You better believe it." Becky said happily. "He saved us from these mummies that were coming after us."

"It was actually pretty cool." "He used this 'Mummy be Gone' spray and it was goodbye undead." Gwen said with a small smile on her face.

"Wait until I tell mama about this." A shocked DJ said.

"That was the coolest platypus I ever saw." Said a stoked Geoff.

"Yahoo! It's Perry the Platypus!" Owen cheered.

"Hey! I'm still stuck up here!" Courtney complained from on top of the pyramid. "An attempt to rescue me would be most appreciated! Come on! Duncan help me down!"

"What?! Can't hear you from down here!" Duncan cried back as he kept climbing down. Chuckling when he heard Courtney yell in frustration.

~Eventually~

With everybody now down and out of the pyramid, everyone was sorted into their teams, here were the final results.

Team 1= Geoff, Bridgette, DJ, Leshawna, Harold, Lindsey, and Ezekiel

Team 2= Alejandro, Owen, Noah, Duncan, Tyler, Izzy, and Trent

Team 3= Heather, Cody, Sierra, Courtney, Gwen, and Becky

"Alrighty, we got our teams all set up, but its not official without a name. Now everyone talk amongst yourselves, you guys will be choosing a name that will stick with your team until I say." Chris said.

Team 1= Team Radical Sports

Team 2= Team Music Strikers

Team 3= Team Crystal Platypus

"Awesome names, very out of the box. Quite creative and well thought up I might add." Chris said. "Now that you all finished the first part of the challenge I'll explain the second part to you. Be warned though, this next part is going to get pretty difficult."

What challenge awaits our competitors?

Can they survive the challenge?

Stay tune for the final part
