Total Drama Guardian Dragon
Crossovers: Total Drama Island, Fairy Tail (minor), Castlevania (one reference)
Muskoka, Ontario Canada
Year: 2007 AD
Camp Wawanakwa
A young man with cold blue cerulean eyes and long length silver hair sat down on the dock on an island that hosted a broken down camp. The young man wore a black leathery outfit with black boots and if one could take a gaze upon his face. They could only see how menacing his stare was. Almost as if you stared down a caged tiger while inside the cage yourself. Luckily this tiger was more tame and self disciplined.
Meanwhile an older man with black hair, a blueish buttoned up shirt and brown pants appeared with a grin on his face. The young man was tuning him out this whole time. The man's name is Chris Mclean, apparently he's the host of something called a reality show. A strange form of entertainment that people watch from their homes using technologies that didn't exist in his place of origin. Chris was merely explaining the overview of how his reality show works and what the endgame is.
The young man scoffed, 'Fame? Fortune? Such arrogance. I wish to avoid cutting down children if necessary. That's what Mclean-san wants at least to avoid whatever a lawsuit is.' he thought as he wasn't entirely fond of the new world he now resides in.
"Hey smile for the camera Naruto." said Chris as he kneeled beside him. "Because if the camp itself isn't enough. You're the literal game changer!" he announced as the young man identified as Naruto stood up and gave his terrifying stare to the camera. "That's right folks! You can't see it, but this new hot reality show has something special which you might get to see at the end of this episode! Only here on...
TOTAL
DRAMA
ISLAND!
The cameras cut off as they switched to their introduction to the series. It was quite catchy, but Naruto wasn't a fan of it since he didn't like the idea of teenagers wasting their lives to make names for themselves as winning money for ridiculous challenges.
"Someone's a bit grumpy." Chris teased.
Naruto snapped his fingers and neck before facing Chris who was slightly shorter than him, "A bit tired yes, but I already went through the audition tapes. So I'm interested to see my fellow residents." he told Chris.
Chris replied with a chuckle, "Well hopefully they know how to swim when they meet you. There's no way I'm calling back any of those boats." he said before the cameras came back on. "So Naruto, are you excited to meet your prey- I mean, your new friends?" he asked.
Naruto decided to play along, "Thrilled." he said sarcastically.
"Good because we told them they would stay at a 5 star resort. So if they seem annoyed. That's why." Chris said to the viewers.
"They have beds, a cook, and protection from the weather for free. They should be grateful." Naruto said.
Chris chuckled, "I know, with the phones and fancy technology. Kids are spoiled aren't they?" he asked just as the first boat arrived. The first contestant was a brown haired girl with glasses, "Beth, what's up?" he greeted.
Beth greeted back by jumping into Chris and hugging him, "Hi Chris! Wow, you're much shorter in real life." she said.
"Uh, thanks." Chris said awkwardly before Beth turned her attention to Naruto.
"Hi!" Beth greeted and was greeted back with a mere nod.
The next contestant was young man in a green shirt with a beard, "Dj!" Chris greeted.
"Yo Chris Mclean! Hey am I at the right place? Where's the hot tub at?" Dj asked as he looked around.
"Yeah this is it! Camp Wawanakwa!" Chris said confirming everything but the hot tub part.
Dj didn't like the camp, "Looked a lot different from the brochure." he murmured as he stood by Beth and Naruto.
Then a goth girl arrived with a look of annoyance on her face, "Hey Gwen!" Chris greeted.
"You mean we're staying here?" Gwen asked.
"No, you are staying here. I am staying where there's air conditioning." Chris said which angered greatly angered Gwen.
"I did not sign up for this." Chris countered her by pulling out some documents which Gwen teared up.
"The great thing about lawyers is that they make lots of copies." Chris told her. Gwen's response was to try and get back on the boat and leave, "I hope you can swim." he said as the boat left without Gwen.
From this point on, Naruto witnessed lots of strange and unique characters.
A partygoer named Geoff.
An attractive blonde named Lindsay.
A rude girl named Heather.
A delinquent and ex-convict named Duncan who hit on Heather when he arrived.
A wannabe athlete named Tyler who is arriving by water skiing on with the boat.
"Tyler!" Chris greeted only for the red tracksuit wearing boy to lose his grip and skid across the water and almost crash onto the dock.
Only for Naruto to blow a large gust at wind at Tyler to slow down his crash and bring him into a halt, "Whoa, sweet magic trick man." Tyler said as his landing didn't hurt as much as it was supposed to.
After Tyler came a strange kid with a keyboard named Harold. Harold wasn't to angry or disappointed at the fact that they lied about the camp being a resort. He claimed the poor environment was more favorable to his skills.
Shortly after came another potential musician named Trent, but he didn't seem socially awkward like Harold.
Next came a surfer girl named Bridgette... she accidentally hit Chris and almost a few others with her surfboard.
Some condescending boy named Noah arrived just after her.
A very haughty girl named Leshawna came next. Harold accidentally antagonized her by saying he's never seen a girl like her before. Explaining that he was describing that she was both big and loud.
"Oh no you didn't! You have not seen anything yet! I'll show you big, baby!" Leshawna said as Harold took up a poor martial arts pose.
Naruto stood in front of them and unleashed another gust of wind which sent Harold flying into the water while Leshawna fell onto the other teens who tried to restrain her. The silver haired boy narrowed his eyes at Harold who climbed out.
"Unless you wish for more enemies than you can handle, you should remain silent." Naruto told Harold who nodded for now.
"Ok everyone settle down!" Chris spoke up as he didn't want any fights to break out just yet.
After that, the contestants continued to arrive. With the next ones being a pair of girls in matching outfits named Katie and Satie.
A homeschooled farm boy named Ezekiel that Chris warned to not say anything stupid.
An average boy named Cody who started hitting on all the girls.
Likely the strongest contestant that Naruto has scene, named Eva. She also crushed Cody's foot by dropping her bag of weights on his foot.
Now came a larger boy named Owen who was a bit too excited to arrive.
An average young woman named Courtney who peacefully greeted everyone and Owen who gave her a handshake.
However everyone then turned their attention a young model named Justin. Owen also made a poor attempt at small talk regarding the boy's pants.
Finally came the final contestant who would soon reveal that she might be insane. Her name is Izzy and she fell off the boat and smacked her head onto the dock. Everyone laughed at the accident while Courtney ran to help her alongside Naruto.
"Hey she could be hurt!" Courtney said to everyone else who stood there watching.
"Are you ok? Do you require medical assistance?" Naruto asked.
Izzy grinned, "Nope! Why? Do you think I need help? Do you want to help? I guess I could go for it! Do you use needles, the nasty stick that goes in your tongue or ooh ooh! Some kind of experimental stuff!?" she asked rather quickly.
"I cannot assist the mentally unhealthy." Naruto stated as Courtney may have also realized that Izzy is insane.
After helping Izzy up, Chris pulled out his camera, "Ok everyone get together. I gotta take a photo for the promo." he announced as he stood on the last boat.
Naruto didn't enjoy photos as much since a childhood incident. Other than that, he also didn't enjoy massive social gatherings. It didn't help as he could feel that the amount of weight of from the 22 individuals he stood with are weakening the docks. Many things in the camp are already of poor quality and this dock was no acception. So Naruto's patience was running thin as Chris faced many technical difficulties with his simple camera.
"Ok I think I got it. Now everyone say, "Wawanakwa!""
"WawanakwaAAAAAHHHH!" nearly everyone screamed as Chris took the photo once they fell into the water.
Though just as they all tried to swim up to catch their breath. Many of them stopped and noticed something strange.
"Guys, how deep is the water?" Trent asked as he didn't sink like everyone else.
"It's like pretty deep I think." Katie answered as she helped Satie stay up.
"Why are you asking?" Satie asked.
Trent pointed at Naruto who was standing over the water as if he were on solid ground. The silver haired teen didn't even look like he cared. He stood there with his arms crossed with a face lacking any emotion. Harold and Noah picked up on this and started looking around for wires or some sort of support beams. Courtney and Gwen proceeded to look for platforms only to find nothing as Naruto began to walk away.
"What the heck? Is that guy magic or something?" Gwen asked.
Courtney shook her head, "It's probably smoke and mirrors. They do it for magic all the time." she claimed.
"No way, then he would be an illusion. That guy looks pretty solid." Harold said.
"Then go touch him and check." Duncan suggested.
"No way, I'm not going near a scary looking guy like him!" Harold said as he feared Naruto more than he did Duncan.
"Ok ok, I know my secret ace is pretty awesome. We can gush at Naruto later. So let's start the tour already." Chris said as he made his way to dry land.
At the camp
As Chris went over the rules, he announced that it was time to split everyone up into two teams.
"Ok so on the left I want Beth, Cody, Gwen, Heather, Justin, Katie, Leshawna, Lindsay, Noah, Owen and Trent." Chris instructed as all the teens stood in one place as the host gave Owen a flag. "You guys will be, The Screaming Gophers!" he exclaimed.
"Wow, I'm a gopher!" Owen said full of enthusiasm.
Then the other 11 stood on the other side and were given a flag, "So now that leaves Geoff, Harold, Bridgette, Eva, Courtney, Ezekiel, Tyler, Izzy, Satie, Duncan and DJ. You guys will be, The Killer Bass!" Chris exclaimed.
"No this is a mistake!" Katie said as she held arms with Satie.
"Katie's a Gopher! I have to be a Gopher!" Satie exclaimed as both girls were in tears.
While Naruto could sense genuine depression from separation. He felt as if they were giving it too much effort. Besides, they will be within the same area. So it's not as if they will be separated. The real concern for them is once one of them is eliminated from the game. So it was rather tedious to see the two girls being separated.
"Can we get on with this?" Naruto asked Chris as Katie and Satie were finally removed from each other.
"Hey wait a minute! There's 23 of us so that makes us uneven!" Heather said.
"I agree with skinny girl for once. You didn't even give that guy a team." Leshawna said as she pointed at Naruto.
Chris chuckled, "Oh you mean Naruto? He's uh, how do I put this. Well he's not a contestant." he said as everyone looked suspicious.
"What do you mean he's not a contestant?" Duncan asked suspiciously.
"I would say, Naruto is basically here to make the game harder when I feel like it." Chris said as Naruto crossed his arms.
"Ok is that fair? Is this against the rules?" Cody asked everyone around him.
Chris shrugged off Cody's questions, "Well he's not here for the prize, but you'll see why Naruto is special. Eventually." he said before beginning the tour.
At the cabins
No one was a fan of the shabby cabins. It was as if the whole place was infested with disease. The curtains destroyed, the rooms covered in mystery stains, the door were ready to fall off and there were insects everywhere.
"One side is for the girls and the other for the boys." was all Chris could say as everyone started to unpack.
As they did, Cody walked up to Gwen and started hitting on her, "Can't wait to move in roomie." he told her.
"Aren't you supposed to be in the boy's side?" Gwen asked.
Naruto lifted up Cody by the back of his collar, "Yes he is." he said as he dragged him out and tossed him into the boy's side.
"Remind me not to run into this guy after curfew." Trent said.
"Hey that reminds me, are there any chaperones?" Geoff asked Chris.
"You're all 16. That's old enough to be a counselor in training. You guys can handle some independence right?" Chris asked as Geoff nodded.
However things took a small turn for the worst. Everyone suddenly heard Lindsay screaming at the top of her lungs. Assuming she was in danger, everyone rushed to the girls side of the cabin where the Gophers were sleeping. Finding Lindsay on top of a stool as she screamed at the sight of a cockroach. Everyone panicked at the sight of such a disgusting creature and either attempted to squash it or step away. Then Duncan came in with an axe in his hands and was about to split the revolting insect in half only to see a small bladed weapon pierce the cockroach.
Everyone turned to see that Naruto was holding two more blades in his hands. Only he was holding them by their sharp tips with his fingers. Naruto then picked up the blade and tossed the dead cockroach outside.
"Ok that was scary and awesome!" Geoff said excitedly.
Though some people like Harold, Noah and DJ were rather unsettled, "Hey is nobody concerned about the fact that this guy is armed?" Noah asked.
"Yeah man, those things are sharp!" DJ agreed sounding fearful.
"The delinquent is holding an axe and you fear my kunai which are toothpicks in comparison?" Naruto asked as Duncan rolled his eyes and put the axe away.
As everyone settled down after the brief scare. Lindsay came down from her stool only for Tyler to approach her.
"You know, if you see another one of those things. Just let me know, because I can totally do that too." Tyler boasted as Lindsay started to blush.
However the flirting was rudely interrupted as Tyler jumped away in fear when three kunai were embedded into the wall next to where he once stood. Lindsay's sudden love struck was gone when she saw that girly reaction. Though she didn't really mind it much seeing as she still thought Tyler was cool.
"If you think you can. You are welcome to try." Naruto told him.
Tyler chuckled nervously, "Sure thing bro!" he said as he tried to remove the kunai with little result. "Actually you know what. I think I should get some lunch first before I try anything cool like you!" he said as he left with Lindsay following behind him.
Mess hall
The canteen was pretty shabby too, but at least Chef Hatchet managed to keep it in place. Most of the teens were rather disgusted and didn't like what they saw chef cooking up. Ironically enough Naruto was the first to get his tray ready and started eating. All the while everyone else got their food and noticed that the food was moving on it's own. Gwen mentioned this and in turn, Chef smashed it with a small hammer.
"Hey Chris can we order a pizza or something?" Geoff asked only to avoid a clever that almost took out his head.
DJ then took cover under the table, "What is it with everyone and sharp objects!?" he asked fearfully.
Naruto wiped his mouth with a napkin, "If you do not like it. Cook for yourself. At the very least, this meal has some nutrition in it." he said.
Cody and some of the other guys tested out the food, "It's there, but not a lot." he said as he forced himself into eating his tray's contents.
Owen was more than happy to eat, "I want seconds!" he said.
'At least some people are appreciative.' Chef thought as he worked.
"Anyways, you guys should hurry up. We're going to start our first challenge soon." Chris said as some people looked anxious.
"Come on guys, it's the first challenge. How bad could it be?" DJ asked.
A while later, giant cliff
DJ immediately regretted his words. Chris explained that the very first challenge was a simple dive. All they needed to do was land in the middle of the circle where the boat would pick them up. If they refused to jump, they would be given a chicken hat to express how cowardly they are. It was easier said than done in a literal sense.
"There is no way anyone would survive that." Bridgette said.
"Is this even remotely safe?" Gwen asked.
Chris turned to Naruto who sighed as he took off his black jacket. Everyone was confused by what he was doing before they realized he was walking off the edge. Everyone panicked as they watched the mysterious camper plummet down the cliff faster than a bag full of bricks.
"Hey is that ok?" Cody asked as he and some of the others looked down.
What they saw was Naruto hit the water right next to the ring. Most of them paled as they saw the sharks move towards where Naruto landed before diving down. It only looked worse as the teen had yet to resurface with a few bubbles popping above the water.
"IS HE DEAD!?" everyone asked in a panicked tone.
Chris chuckled as Chef started steering the boat towards a safer distance, "I'm not getting sunk." Chef said as he knew what was coming when more bubbles started to rumble in the water.
"Hey that's just wrong! Did you seriously force him to kill himself!?" Leshawna asked Chris who was still laughing.
"Hey man, this stopped being funny when the knives were being thrown!" DJ complained.
Chris only smiled at the concern as he heard what he considered to be music. Turning back towards the cliff, everyone soon screamed in panic as a large reptilian creature with dark skin and blue marks jumped out from the sea. The host of the show could only marvel at the beast's appearance as all the campers were either screaming in fear or unconscious from being frightened by the creature. The beast soon fell back down to the water where it gave the sharks a threatening glare as it waddled back to dry land.
"You have sea monsters? Dude what is your budget?" Duncan asked as he was unaffected by the sight of the beast.
Chris kept laughing, "A whole lot, but surprisingly I'm getting paid to keep that thing here." he answered.
Duncan nodded, "Hey did he eat that Naruto guy by chance?" he asked.
Chris shook his head, "Why don't you ask Naruto yourself?" he asked as everyone kept staring at the beast until it shrunk down and reverted to a human form revealing Naruto.
"Dude, what are those special effects?" Tyler asked.
"Those aren't special effects Tyler. We only use the real stuff here." Chris answered.
"No way, there's no such thing as sea monsters." Harold argued.
"It's not a sea monster, that's the Legendary Dragon Acnologia and Naruto is his true form." Chris explained as some of the campers looked fearful.z
Harold refused to believe it, "No way man! There's no such things as dragons! Especially dragons of the apocalypse!" he exclaimed.
"Dragon of the Apocalypse?" Beth asked as she was ignorant on the subject.
"Basically during the dark ages or something, there was a myth of a dragon that ripped the place apart. Some say he was summoned by Emperor Nero or a witch to destroy the Roman Empire." Chris explained as he didn't know the whole story or care enough to look deeper.
Tyler chuckled, "Ok, seriously dude. What are your VFX budget?" he asked as Duncan nodded.
Courtney groaned, "Ok I'm not one for myths, but how would it be Visual Effects if we saw it with our eyes?" she asked as Naruto sat on a rock and just stared at them.
Chris cleared up his throat, "If you're done debating. We got a challenge to do. So chop chop!" he said as he clapped his hands together.
With the Killer Bass
"So remember, each member that jumps down and survives. There are crates on the beach for your next challenge. Building a hot tub." Chris explained as an image of a cool hot tub appeared. "The winning team of that challenge can celebrate with a hot tub party. While the losing team, sends someone home." he added making everyone realize how high the stakes of the game are.
"So who's first?" Eva asked.
"Ladies first." Duncan suggested.
Bridgette nodded as she stepped up, "Fine, just a cliff dive into a pool full of sharks." she said while failing to keep calm as she dived down.
Surprisingly making it into the main ring where Chef picked her up, "Woohoo! She made it!" Tyler yelled before jumping down and smacking into a buoy.
Despite seeing Tyler in pain, that only filled most of the team with some confidence. Jeff being the most excited, Eva giving some warning that she was coming down and Duncan not caring whatsoever. DJ refused to jump down stating that he has had a fear of heights since childhood. Unfortunately Chris penalized DJ by making him wear a chicken hat and making the teen go down some escalators that were somehow installed into the mountain.
Then it was back to Ezekiel who jumped down full of confidence despite hitting a rock on his way down. Harold felt a greater pain as when he hit the water, his genitals felt as if they collided with steel.
'Poor child may never see himself as a father in the future.' Naruto thought as he started a campfire for some reason.
Back up the hill, Courtney refused to jump down, "Excuse me Chris, I have a medical condition that keeps me from jumping down cliffs." she said.
"You can chicken out if you want. But it might cost you the win and your team might hate you." Chris said with an evil smile.
Courtney scoffed, "I've seen the other team. I doubt they'll jump." she boasted confidently.
Unaware that as a dragon, Naruto could hear her, 'Having more confidence in the failures of others than confidence in your own success will lead to self failure and lesser worth.' he thought as Courtney took her chicken hat and left.
However the real trouble was Satie refusing to jump without Katie. Both were begging to for one of them to switch teams with Izzie being willing to switch with one of them.
"Fine, Izzie you're on the Screaming Gophers. Katie, you're on the Killer Bass." Chris said as Katie and Satie jumped down in excitement.
"We're coming Killer Bass!" they both said before hitting the target.
"Ok that's 10 jumpers and 2 chickens. Screaming Gophers, you're up and if you win. We'll add carts to help you carry the crates." Chris said as Trent liked the deal.
With the Screaming Gophers
"That sounds good. Who's up first?" Trent asked as everyone turned towards Heather.
Heather was defiant and refused, "I'm sorry, I'm not doing it." she said.
"Why not?" Beth asked curiously.
"We're on TV, I'll get my hair wet." Heather said sounding very shallow.
Before anyone could argue Chris pulled out a megaphone, "Hey big guy, I think someone needs some motivation!" he yelled as he didn't want everyone standing around.
"What the...?" before long Naruto transformed back into Acnologia and started to repeatedly smack his tail onto the cliff.
"You are going jumping!" Leshawna told her.
"I am not!" Heather said as she tried to ignore the earthquake Naruto was causing.
"If she's not doing it. I'm not doing it." Lindsay said earning some of Heather's respect.
Leshawna and the rest of the team did not want to continue this argument. So they all proceeded to lift up Heather and Lindsay and tossed them down the cliff where they landed into the ring.
"You are so dead Leshawna!" Heather yelled after spitting out some water.
"Hey you made it into the safe zone didn't you?" Leshawna asked with a smirk as she also jumped down.
Seeing as Naruto wasn't letting up, more of the Gopher proceeded to jump down one by one. Gwen and Cody came down screaming fearfully while Izzy screams were filled with excitement. Justin just swan dived down and his beauty alone somehow affected the sharks to they gave him a ride to the beach. Beth was too fearful to jump and was given a chicken hat before going back down.
The score now being 1 chicken and 9 jumpers before Trent jumped down himself. Now making it 10 jumpers for the Gophers and leaving Owen as the one who would be the final decision between the Gopher's victory or tie against the Bass. By this point Naruto had stopped smacking the cliff and watched as Owen built up the courage to jump down.
"I'm going to die. I'm totally going to die now." Owen said as he was willing to jump down but believed his death would occur.
Meanwhile most of the Killer Bass assumed Owen lacked the courage to jump. Leaving the Screaming Gophers to watch as Owen jumped down the cliff screaming. Everyone being unaware of the fact that he would create a bigger splash than Naruto as Owen's sent the boat and all the contestants deep within the beach. Even as Acnologia, the silver haired teen found himself hit with a large amount of pressure that it made him stumble.
'Can a human really reach such a level of obesity where they can create mini tsunami's?' Naruto wondered as Owen looked around.
"What is wrong?" Naruto asked as his booming voice terrified everyone.
Trying to ignore the dragon, Owen answered embarrassingly, "I think I lost my swimming trunks." he said as everyone looked disgusted.
"Winners! The Screaming Gophers!" Chris announced so at least there was some victory in the end.
A while later
At this point all there was left was witnessing the campers doing their best to build the hot tubs. The Screaming Gophers were in good spirits and had an easier time with the help of the carts. Meanwhile the Killer Bass were having more issues and poor morale. Especially seeing as Katie and Satie developed a rash from sitting on poison ivy and Courtney was bitten on the eye by a bug.
Regardless of bad health, the Bass were all hostile to each other. With refusing to share tools, accidentally hitting each other and not properly following the instructions. Which in the end created a giant mess that would fall apart and grant the Gophers a victory with none of them worrying about being voted off.
"Winners! The Screaming Gophers!" Chris announced only for Owen to jump out of the hot tub and dance naked.
"We get to stay! We get to stay!" Owen sang only to be struck by lightning. "Hey what was that!?" Owen asked as he turned to Naruto.
"Nudity is not allowed on public television. Put some clothes on!" Naruto commanded before he conjured up more lightning as he scared Owen into his cabin.
Leaving the campers to be more fearful, "He controls the elements!?" Gwen asked fearfully.
"Ok I think we're beyond special effects!" Duncan said as his teammates took cover.
Chris' Confessional
Chris chuckled, "Oh boy, if you heard of fire breathing dragons. You've now seen lightning summonining dragonoid people things." he said. "But just between us. Naruto was just minding his business, so every time you see those conspiracy websites. You should know not all of them are just there for the clicks." he said to the camera as if he were whispering.
At the mess hall
As the Screaming Gophers were still talking about their first victory. The Killer Bass were debating about who had to leave. To which Duncan suggested it would be either DJ or Courtney who refused to jump and costed them their first victory. Though Duncan was more partial towards keeping DJ as he had faith in the muscular teen's capabilities. To which Courtney replied, in the same manner about five times already, that she used to be a Counselor in Training.
Which Naruto found redundant because that would mean she was trained to handle supervising children at a summer camp. In which she is surrounded by teenagers that are the same age as her. The only things she would have are basic skills in handling children depending on the camp's quality. So there was no telling if Courtney had impressive skills such as swimming, CPR and leadership or just following an organized schedule while barking orders.
However what actually grabbed the silver haired young man's attention was Ezekiel's comments.
"I don't get why we lost. They're the ones that have six girls." Ezekiel said in a condescending tone.
Which quickly offended Eva and Bridgette, "What is that supposed to mean?" Bridgette asked while looking unhappy.
"Enlighten us home school." Eva said as she slammed her fist onto the table making it shake.
Ezekiel looked pretty happy as he answered, "Well guys are much stronger than girls are." he said as the boys started to back away.
Geoff laughed thinking Ezekiel was kidding, "Dude, you did not just say that." he said assuming Ezekiel to be a comedian.
Ezekiel however was not a comedia, "My dad told me to look out for the girls to help them in case they can't keep up." he said as Eva lifted him up by the neck.
"Ok guys, let's calm down. At least he doesn't think guys are smarter than girls." Geoff said as Eva dropped him.
Ezekiel had not yet learned his lesson, "But they are." he said as Naruto took the turn to lift him up and tossed him outside.
While some debated as whether or not that was harsh. Everyone soon noticed how far Ezekiel was sent flying as he left a small trench from when he started hitting the ground. It was hard to estimate how long and deep the trench was but it was big enough for a small body to fit for being buried alive.
"Eh, that was pretty harsh don't ya think?" Ezekiel asked.
"I understand that you were raised in isolation among prairie farmers, but this is the real world. Regardless of gender, everyone is an equal." Naruto told him as he adjusted his gloves.
"Hey but my dad said..." Ezekiel tried to say only to be silenced as he felt the air around him turn cold.
"Well I had a mother with a strong heart. She didn't have muscle or the skill for sports like you say women don't have, but that didn't make her weak." Naruto said with a stare that dared Ezekiel to challenge him. "So while you're also mocking a woman for her knowledge. You should know that keeping your own mouth open makes you the most stupid person here." he said before snapping the joints in his fists. "Especially if you're hoping to avoid making enemies you can't hope to beat." he finished explaining.
Ezekiel didn't really keep up with the grammar, but knew that Naruto meant to say something about not upsetting girls. So he stood up and saluted before turning around and trying to run. Only to be kicked hard enough that he was sent crashing through the door of one of the cabins.
"Uh that was our cabin." Justin pointed out.
Naruto shrugged it off, "Then if he's a strong man. Then he can make his way back to his cabin on his own." he said before going back inside to finish his meal.
Though no one could notice that Chef winced when he saw the one sided fight. As if it brought back a memory that wasn't fond of.
Eva's Confessional
"I'm not one of those girls that talk being a pretty pink princess or marrying a prince. That chivalry crap makes me sick, but at least this guy knows how to not pick a fight with the wrong people." Eva said in her gruff voice. Then she looked impressed, "I guess he's cool." she said giving some respect to Naruto.
Courtney's Confessional
"Just for the record, I do not condone threats or physical violence. Such actions are unfitting in today's society. Though I do admit Naruto managed to scare an important lesson into Ezekiel." Courtney said as she had mixed opinions about the dragon.
Duncan's Confessional
Duncan looked rather fearful before laughing, "Ok that was awesome! I'm usually the guy that makes fun of mama's boys, but Naruto's mom did something right." he said.
Leshawna's Confessional
"Ok, while I admit that dragon boy went a bit far with hits. Zeke really needed to know when to keep his mouth closed." Leshawna said with a nod. "Though, I wonder who that boy's mama was because now I want to meet her." she said respecting Naruto's mother.
DJ's Confessional
DJ started shaking as he spoke, "Ok man, that was scary. I know my mama doesn't want me praising bullies or guys who like to use fists rather than words, but I gotta respect his respect for women. Mama said something similar about helping out girls, but she also says when to know when the girls can do it on their own. So Zeke needed the lesson." he explained hoping his own mother didn't get too angry with him.
Bridgette's Confessional
"That was... pretty scary, but Naruto had a point. Human civilization has been around for what? 5000 years? So it's time someone learns how to treat us ladies with respect." Bridgette pointed.
Campfire, at night
After the mess hall incident, Ezekiel turned to be fine. It was a bit of a mystery as to why he looked so healthy despite the fact that he looked like he had a few bone fractures when Naruto kicked him too hard. Putting that side, everyone made their votes as to who they were willing to kick off their team. With Chris stating that everyone still in the game will be given a marshmallow.
"So when you don't get one. You're eliminated and you'll walk down the dock of shame and into the boat of losers. Where you can never come back... EVER!" Chris explained as one by one, everyone received their marshmallows.
Leaving only Courtney and Ezekiel who were left and looking nervous, "Courtney, you let down your team by refusing to jump. Not only that, you gave them less credit than what they are worth." he said referring to Owen's courage.
"Hey, they were motivated by a dragon before tossing Lindsay and Heather down the cliff!" Courtney argued.
Chris shrugged it off, "Teamwork comes in all forms." he said as Courtney crossed her arms. "And you Zeke, you pretty much made enemies with a lot of ladies and a dragon." he said as Ezekiel looked ashamed.
So after a long pause, Chris announced the loser.
"So now you have a story to tell Ezekiel. Because the last marshmallow goes to Courtney." Chris said as Courtney looked excited while Ezekiel hanged his head. "Besides, I saw you pick your nose. That's gross dude." he said as Ezekiel made his way down the dock and onto the boat of losers.
Aftermath
After the Killer Bass split up for the night, Naruto approached Courtney who was sitting by the campfire by herself.
"How is the eye?" Naruto asked.
"What do you think?" Courtney asked in a condescending tone.
Naruto replied by removing his glove and revealing a large scar wound on his palm, "Hold still, it's merely swelling." he told her.
Before Courtney could object, she felt the flesh around her eyelid feeling cold, but less irritable. By then she noticed the green aura around his hand that he generated.
"So dragons, lightning and healing superpowers?" Courtney asked.
"Not powers, magic, but then again the world is ignorant and hides away what they fear." Naruto answered Courtney still refused to believe that mythological rumors exist.
"So, any suggestions? For the game I mean." Courtney asked while trying to avoid looking suspicious.
"Chris is a sadist. Though I could easily sink the island, I follow him because I thought this would be interesting. So it's safe to say he might find some way of convincing me to make the game more intense if he believes the challenge is losing the interest of his viewers. So stay energized and focused, that's how I survived as a child." Naruto explained before finishing up as the swelling was gone.
Courtney placed a hand on her eyelid and smiled, "Thanks!" she said before he left. "So being active his advice huh? I better head off to bed then. If Chris is crazy, then I better be prepared." she said unaware of Naruto's hearing.
'You cannot predict insanity. Only prepare for it.' Naruto thought.
The next day
At the dock, Chris watched as two animals had come out of the boat that Chef sailed, "Good, the little guys and gal are here." he said as two animals came out.
One was a six tailed fox and a white dragon with a blue hue that was miniature. These were Naruto's familiars and they had just arrived recently from exploring Muskoka on their own. Now Chris was hoping to use them as an extra set of eyes and ears when his personal Dragon of the Apocalypse wasn't around.
"Ok little guys, Naruto is in some cave in the woods. I need you to wake him up so he can wake everyone else up ok?" Chris asked the three creatures as they all snickered before running deep into the woods.
"You sure that's a good idea?" Chef asked.
"It's not like he's gonna attack us." Chris answered as Chef rolled his eyes.
"That's because you haven't motivated him yet." Chef said.
At the woods
At a cave, Naruto slept in his Acnologia form. Most likely as a way of trying to find a comfortable way to sleep. Though his presence did terrify the wildlife such as the local bears and sasquatch who were hiding behind some rocks. Only to get further fearful as they saw the two little creatures approaching the dragon. The fox proceeded to surround itself in blue energy before unleashing a 15 meter tall wave of freezing water onto Naruto's head before the dragon let out an ear piercing screech.
Naruto let out a powerful roar before looking down at the snickering animals.
"SHIRO! KURAMA!" Naruto roared as a green cloud of gas hit his face.
Both dragon and fox looked at each other in confusion as that wasn't one of their pranks. Though they did feel disgusted as they could smell how bad it was. Though Naruto only got angrier as he started flying into the sky to see where that gas came from. His sudden awakening didn't help the bad mood he was in.
With the campers
"Hey did I here the big guy roar!?" DJ asked fearfully.
"Wait a minute. We don't know if he's angry, maybe it was just a mating call." Cody said as all the women hit him upside the head.
"How would you know what a mating call sounds like?" Gwen asked.
"Naruto might be big, but even grumpy guys deserve love." Trent said as Gwen started to blush.
Heather didn't like what she saw and broke it up, "Newsflash, he's still an angry 100 meter dragon!" she said as she heard Chris' ATV.
"Oh good! You did my job for me Heather. Because someone woke up Naruto and he's not happy. So you better make run some laps if you want to get away from him!" Chris exclaimed as he escaped on his ATV at full power.
Everyone realized the danger as they saw Naruto land and roar at them.
"Sweet loveable cheese wheels! Everyone run for your lives!" Owen yelled as everyone else screamed in terror as Naruto chased them through the woods for what almost felt like 20 kilometers of terrain.
It was 7am in the morning and here they are being chased by a wild animal through nature. Not exactly how most people like to spend their summer vacation.
At the mess hall
The Canteen was basically the finish line for everyone. It was safe to say that everyone very exhausted. It wasn't everyday a giant winged reptile that was once believed to be an internet conspiracy would chase them around. The absolute last one to arrive was Harold who looked like he had breathing issues.
"Just great, because of you we lost the challenge!" Courtney berated as the Gophers celebrated.
"That wasn't the challenge. Though, I think you all deserve your breakfast." Chris said as he revealed a giant banquet of amazing food. However it seemed as if someone was still grumpy, "Uh Chef." he said.
Chef took off his hat and put on an army helmet as he shoved a large turkey into a cannon. The cook then proceeded to run out of the canteen and aim high into the air before launching the turkey. It was a good thing he gave it some seasoning to give it a nice smell that made Naruto get distracted enough to go after his new meal.
Chef's Confessional
Chef panted as he wiped away his sweat, "I'll tell you, I heard the rumors of what happened in Kuwait. But when you see that big [REDACTED] in person. You just want to [REDACTED] and run!" he said as he took one long deep breath. "I only made it to Sergeant because I got my squad out alive. When the big guy shows up in Afghanistan. That's when your mission is automatically set to run away with your tail between your legs." he said.
Back to the campers
"I see you're all stuffed. Good! Because now we can begin our challenge!" Chris said excitedly.
"You mean eating wasn't our challenge?" Owen asked.
"Nope, it's the Awake-athon. Basically a marathon, but you gotta stay awake until everyone else on the opposing team falls asleep." Chris explained.
"So you made us run early in the morning and made us stuff our faces. Just to keep us awake?" Gwen asked.
Chris nodded, "That's the plan." he said confirming the goth's theory.
"Dude that is so evil." Cody commented.
"Not as evil as giving Naruto a new prey to go after." Chef said as he came back inside.
Everyone could agree with that much at the very least.
At the campfire, 12 hours later
Owen was dancing around excitedly, "12 hours awake? I can do that in my sleep." he said before passing out and being the third one to fall asleep for his team after Noah and Izzy.
Things were very very very slow and likely the slowest and least painful challenge of the season. Though a few interesting aspects of the show did occur. Heather utilized this as a chance to form an alliance with Lindsay and Beth due to the both of them lacking intelligence and being easily manipulated. Though Heather did threatened to cut off Lindsay when she wanted to date Tyler who was on the other team. After explaining the unfair rules that Heather set up, it was safe to say that Heather was taking advantage of them.
She even stole Eva's music player after Eva accidentally dropped it on her way to the restroom.
By the 24 hour mark, Justin also fell asleep while giving off the illusion he was awake. Naruto caught him when he and Eva pointed out that Justin had painted his eyelids. Chris respected the originality but still eliminated him. As for the Killer Bass, they lost Katie, Satie and Bridgette to exhaustion. Leaving Gophers 8 to the Bass with 7. Tyler also randomly screamed which woke a lot of people up for some strange reason.
Chris then congratulated them on making it this far, "But I do have a big surprise for you." he said as Naruto arrived now wearing a tuxedo.
"What is this?" Gwen asked.
"I think I'm going crazy." Tyler said as he thought he saw a bear attack Katie and Satie earlier.
"Chef if you will." Chris gestured as Chef gave Naruto a lyra.
"He knows music now?" Heather asked with a scoff.
Chris and Chef put on some earmuffs as Naruto played on the lyra. Ignoring the strange gazes he was given. Soon enough, Kurama and Shiro appeared and surprised everyone as they used magic to transform into a male and female ballet dancers.
(Saint Seiya OST - Lyra Orphee Theme)
Surprisingly enough, the tone of the music was strong and it forced most of the competitors to fall asleep. It didn't help that Kurama and Shiro's dances created hypnotic waves that were forcing their eyelids to close. That every note, every dance, every sound of a beat was a whole amount of pressure that drove away their strength.
Everyone couldn't move, they felt as if they were entranced. They refused to believe in magic before, but while it is likely their lack of sleep affecting their thoughts. They were willing to believe anything now. Especially the concept of magic now that they were all paralyzed. Refusing to move even the slightest muscle. Fearing as if gravity was now their foe. Whatever resistance the campers once had, was now shattered.
Nearly everyone collapsed and fell into a deep sleep. What could have been potentially several days of remaining awake. Was gone as there were about five contestants left. Duncan and Eva for the Killer Bass and Heather, who lost Lindsay and Beth, with Gwen and Trent for the Screaming Gophers.
Eventually the song came to an end. Mostly due to the staff that were recording the show had also fallen asleep.
"Hey... Trent you play... music. How is... he... doing that?" Gwen asked in a slurred voice.
"Goth girl... right... for once." Heather said in between yawns.
Trent's mind was pretty much gone at this point, "Magic." he muttered.
It wasn't serious but it pretty much felt that way.
(End of Song)
Naruto received a few rounds of applause from the crew and the host. However that wasn't the end as he had an entire orchestra prepared. The final five could only watch in horror as they were paralyzed from the waist down because of their exhaustion. From there, Naruto was then given a violin as Kurama and Shiro sat beside him with their own violins.
"Remember to adjust the strings to the proper chords as mentioned before. Any questions?" Naruto asked his two sidekicks who snickered in response.
Gwen's Confessional
"I know I might be crazy and tired, but where did he get the magical animals?" Gwen asked with a yawn.
Chris' Confessional
Chris chuckled, "Naruto has these little animals he calls familiar. I don't know where he got them but they're awesome. Also one more thing." he said as he reached down. There he revealed a plush fox and dragon, "You can order the official Kurama and Shiro plushies on the official TDI website. Get them now while they're in stock!" he said as he shamelessly advertised his merchandise. "Hey I wonder if I can some made to look like me." he wondered.
Back to the game
From here Naruto continued playing various famous works of classical music. Which included:
Air on G String by Bach
Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven
Requiem by also by Bach (without opera)
Naruto considered Overture 1812 by Tchaikovsky, but thought it was a bit too loud. By then he only knocked Heather, Trent and Eva out. Leaving Gwen and Duncan as the stubborn mules that refused to go to sleep. By then, morning had already arrived and Chris gave Naruto permission to stop.
"Well seeing as they're still asleep. You could always talk about the history of the Roman Empire." Chris said as Naruto claimed he was there to see it's construction and collapse.
"I need the bathroom!" Duncan yelled as he found the strength to somehow stand up and walk.
"Fine, you can go. Gwen, you can go after Duncan comes back. Then maybe the rest of you can take showers since you all stink." Chris said as he hated that mass of body odor that came out of everyone.
A few minutes later
An intern approached Chris with a note. The host of the show read it over twice to make sure it was right. Which left a bright smile on his face.
"Well it looks like Duncan went to bed on the toilet. So that means Gwen wins!" Chris announced as he raised up Gwen's hand just as she fell asleep as well.
However everyone was still asleep and unaware of what happened. Chris nodded to Chef who then arrived with drum kit and some electric guitars. The camera crew was well prepared this time and put on some earmuffs and adjusted their microphones. Chef sat behind the drums and watched as Naruto's trio played one last tune on the violins.
"One last song for the day. Play in B flat major." Naruto said as the fox and miniature dragon started to play more violin alongside him.
A few seconds later, some of the contestants started to sti awake. Wondering if any time passed or if Naruto was too dedicated when it came to his music. However they were given a second awakening in a very rude fashion.
Explosions went off and large speakers appeared behind them. Naruto, Kurama and Shiro picked up their electric guitars and played very loudly.
(Upper Crust - Tell Mother I'm Home)
(A/N: Just think of the one scene from Codename Kids Next Door.)
Everyone was suddenly awake and running around like chickens without their heads. The powerful beats suppressed whatever exhaustion they had before and left them in a state of panic before Chris announced that Gwen was the winner. Though they could hardly hear anything with all that Rock and Roll playing on full blast.
"GWEN WINS!" Chris yelled through his megaphone as the teams ran away from the loud music.
Later
Seeing as the music finally stopped, everyone went back to their cabins. However things got worse as Eva went on a warpath. As mentioned before, she dropped her music player and was destroying both sides of her team's cabins to look for it. Assuming someone had stolen it, Eva was demanding someone surrender her music or else bone would be broken.
"Is something going on here?" Naruto asked as he appeared.
The Killer Bass proceeded to hide behind the man and used him like a shield. Which was a good idea considering they would have a greater chance to survive Eva's wrath. Especially considering that Eva looked ready to attack at this point.
"You must lower your hate. Your anger only clouds your thoughts." Naruto warned her.
Eva did not acknowledge his wisdom, "My anger empowers me!" she countered by throwing her fist towards the side of Naruto's head.
Naruto smacked the fist away with the back of his hand. While many were surprised by Naruto's sheer strength, they could also feel the little vibration Eva caused from the power of her attack. Even more surprising was that Eva wasn't just a bodybuilder, but showed some greater agility and speed. Kicks and punches were thrown all over the place, but with this amazing endurance. Eva wasn't allowed to land a single blow on Naruto who kept blocking and parrying her assault.
By the end, Naruto struck her in the abdomen with a palm strike. He was well prepared to disable her joints using a technique he witnessed in his former homeland. However Heather arrived with the music player.
"Hey I heard you guys were missing a music player. I was actually wondering who this belongs to." Heather said as if she were suddenly the most friendly person here.
"My music!" Eva said happily as she grabbed the music player.
While she was happy, everyone on her team was not.
"Sorry about that. I guess my rage did distract me or whatever." Eva said hoping everyone would forget about her rampage.
Campfire, at night
Once more, the Killer Bass were on the chopping block. They had come together and most of them agreed on who they would be sending home for the night. Chris went through everyone's names again until there were only two left. Once again reminding everyone of the rules of being eliminated from the game.
"And once you're on the boat of losers. You can never come back. Ever!" Chris repeated as he stared at the final two.
Harold and Eva.
Eva was naturally fearful despite being the strongest and most fearsome contestant on the show. The cause of her fear was her blind rage from trying to find her music player. As for Harold, he hasn't done anything to invoke the wrath of his teammates aside from arriving late at the mess hall. Then again, arriving there wasn't even a part of the challenge.
"And the last marshmallow goes to... Harold!" Chris announced as Harold quickly picked up his marshmallow.
As for Eva, she now realized that this meant she was out of the game. So she stopped feeling anxious and decided to leave with some dignity intact.
"Well who needs you!" Eva said angrily.
"Bye bye Eva! I hope you get some anger management classes!" Courtney said only to avoid a sharp piece of wood from taking her head off.
Having failed at nearly impaling or decapitating Courtney. Eva made her way onto the Boat of Losers. Now accepting the fact that maybe her anger was a bad thing and could use some work.
"Though, that Naruto guy has my respect. To block those hits means you gotta be strong." Eva said to herself as she was out of range of the camp.
Bridgette's Confessional
"You have to admit, that girl was insane. There was no way we would survive without her getting some help." Bridgette said.
Heather's Confessional
"Well that solves that. The Killer Bass got rid of their strongest teammate. Let's see how that works for them." Heather said while looking smug.
Naruto's Confessional
Naruto stared down at the camera while hanging a star shaped pendant in front of the camera. His eyes softened as he sat up and cleared his throat. When his hair briefly turned blond and spiky for a moment before reverting back to long and silver.
"The thing about humanity is that they are unique. We often live in hypocrisy, that our views change depending on experience or influence. There are good people, but often times they are taken away from us. Because they are like fires." Naruto said as he caused a fire to appear in his free hand. "Fire is alive, it breathes and it lives, but it can also destroy. My original fire's name was Kushina Uzumaki, but I was raised by another fire named Lisa Tepes." he said as his fire went out.
Naruto then took a deep breath as he put the pendant away. It was safe to say that anyone watching at this point was going to be surprised. That they would be subjected to a strong message that they were free to interpret as they wish.
"Lisa was one of the few kind humans. Yet she was taken away for thinking differently. Taken by demons wearing the flesh of man and wearing the roles of saints and heroes. When they believed they had killed evil incarnate. All they did was awaken it." Naruto continued to explain before looking deeper into the camera. "For everyone in the world watching this. No matter how much you wish to hide or censor these messages. It's best you wake up before you awaken something far more dangerous on this planet. The Dragon of the Apocalypse isn't the only dangerous thing in this world." he said before leaving.
With Chris
Chris looked rather bored as he stared at the camera, "Ok that was long and boring, but hopefully all of you guys at the UN don't get mad. Because there is no way we're cancelling this show because this guy is gold!" he said with a chuckle. "So I hope you all stick around for next week. Will Naruto eat half of the campers or will the Killer Bass finally score a win? Find out next time on Total! Drama! Island!" he announced as the camera kept zooming out and showing the island.
The next day
Naruto sat in a dark leaky cave as he worked on bench full of tools he ordered. Apparently Chris gave him an assignment to make the new challenge more enticing. Rather dangerous in Naruto's mind, but here he is. Kurama and Shiro were both wearing lab coats and goggles as they helped him when a skunk appeared who was also snickering when he saw them.
"Good to see you finally joined us Bradley. Go help Kurama and Shiro with the project. They need your "expertise" and you know what you're best at." Naruto said as the skunk joined the fox and dragon.
Apparently Chris wanted a dodgeball game between the teams. It sounds simple with the only danger being is how vicious everyone will be when throwing the balls. However Chris thought that was pretty boring since he didn't see Camp Wawanakwa as an ordinary camp. He wanted those ratings! The attention! The adrenaline! All of that can't be created with random drama or a few kids getting hit in the face.
So Naruto stood in his makeshift lab creating special dodgeballs to use in between games. Many filled with non-lethal toxins, ice, extreme heat and now that Bradley had arrived, disgusting stink bombs from a live skunk. Though the thing about his involvement with the game is that he can offer advice and tips but he can never play favorites unless some cheating is spotted. Then again, Chris would rather find some ironic punishment later in the game to exploit the cheating team or contestant into feeling more pain.
Chris was a sadist and he lacked honor. So it was hard to tell when he wanted Naruto to step in or stay in the sidelines. With that in mind, Naruto wonders how Chris would feel about the contestant that found his cave and witnessed his strange work for the next challenge.
"So you're basically a walking itself? If you really have lived for hundreds of years. I thought you would live in a nice mansion by now." said an arrogant mocking voice.
Naruto cursed under his breath as he turned his head, "What is it you seek Heather?" he asked.
TO BE CONTINUED...
"Wait hold up!" Chris yelled as he suddenly came into frame. For some reason he carried a bunch of skunk plushies in a box, "We're also selling Bradley plushies! So go to the TDI website right now and order yours!" he advertised before looking at the author. "Ok dude, you can end it now."
End of Episodes 1 and 2
NOTES: Naruto's outfit is Sephiroth's outfit from FFVII. Kurama is named after the kyuubi, but actually an animal that looks like Vulpex. Shiro is Blue Eyes Toon Dragon. Bradley is the skunk from Codename Kids Next Door. More of Naruto's backstory and why he left the Elemental Nations will be explained if this series continues.
