Minor Warning: Mention of drugs, mild violence

Yo what's up everyone from all over the world, LOL. Here we are again at another episode of Total Drama Knightfall! I have no idea what else to say besides I hope you all had a good holiday so let's go! Also, this episode wasn't finished sooner than I expected, so I apologize for that.

**I do not own anyone except for Dimetrius and Dustin, along with two other characters you'll see soon. :)

***(Update 2/7/2022): Due to word count, I've split the episode into two parts. Part 2 will be up sometime next week so that you guys don't have to read it all in one sitting. :)

Enjoy! :D


Episode 3: Wang Raanee (Part 1)


Seated on the armchair just by the door out of the living room was Chris McLean himself. His fingers tapped a rhythm on the side table next to him as he was pondering something on his mind.

What if… what if whatever Sua said yesterday was true? This means he can't trust Dimetrius now, right? Then again, what can he do? Dimetrius was just a voice or a spirit after all, he thought. He can't just get the ability to move stuff here and there and traumatise people whenever he wishes to. There was no way things could've gone wrong in a paranormal kind of way-

"So…" Dustin's voice rang from the entrance of the manor, startling the host.

"Dustin, do not scare me like that. I'll get the intro up and running soon, just wait for a bit." Chris retorted.

The chess player stood there for a bit, thinking what on earth could bother the host that, but just gave a nod. "Alright, I'll see you later when you're ready, I guess."

A few moments later, the lobby was filled with cameramen and pretty much everyone in the production crew except for Chris himself.

"You said he'll be here. Where is he?" the director asked Dustin in a rather annoyed tone. "We've been waiting for around half an hour now!"

"He'll be here soon, we'll just have to wait." Dustin answered again, trying to calm him down.

"You've been saying that ever since you got here. I really don't want to put my trust on a liar. Now tell me, where is he?"

"I don't know!"

"What's with all the yelling?" A familiar voice emerged from the left side of the lobby, instantly earning attention from the whole production crew.

"There you are, McLean. Now let's get this started." the director declared, causing everyone to go into position.

"Last time on Total Drama Knightfall…" Chris began as flashbacks start to appear from the screen.

The first scene that showed up was the dinner scene. It was a timelapse that everyone was eating until they were full.

"After the dinner, lots of things happened."

The second scene that showed up was everyone waking up in various places.

"Some good things, and some bad things."

The third scene showed some groups reuiting together such as the Chevaliers. This was followed by the scene with Wyonetta, Sheldon, Laila, and Laverne tied up in ropes.

"And some things that we couldn't explain."

The screen showed Summer and Sua rushing out of the room which was followed by a group hug with Rory. The door behind them was sealed shut.

"But in the end, Sua was the one who had to bite the dust due to some unexplainable mishaps. This was also followed by Maelle transferring onto the Lytsari team."

The elimination scene played on screen as Sua left the group followed by the mixed reactions the Chevaliers had when Maelle left their team."

"Everything will just get even weirder from here! Who will go home next? Are we getting even more questions without answers? Find out in this episode of Total Drama Knightfall!"

The theme cuts into the screen.


Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine

The camera zooms into the two large entrance doors of Manoria. Chris immediately greeted the camera with a malicious smirk on his face.

You guys are on my mind

The view now shows the living room, where Laila was seated on the couch with her legs up on the ottoman. Maelle comes in and serves her tea, but accidentally trips, causing the tea to spill on both girls.

You asked me what I wanted to be

The tea splashes onto the camera (luckily the camera is tea-proof) and it washes away to reveal us a view of a bedroom. Gerald was busy looking at himself in the mirror but suddenly turns around due to someone tapping him on the shoulder. The person doing so was Foster. Gerald immediately hid behind on what or who seemed like another being known as Allan. Foster blinks at the sight, and as soon as he opened his eyes again, they were gone.

And now I think the answer is plain to see

The camera now zooms through the window to get a view of the garden. Pandora was seen taking a picture of a beautiful chrysanthemum flower patch when Tala unknowingly passes by. This causes Pandora to snap a picture of Tala by accident. The two girls looked at each other before slightly blushing and looked away.

I wanna be famous

In another part of the garden, we can see Fridge, Aditi, and Jessica playing with a ball. Fridge throws the ball towards Jessica with a powerful force. Luckily for Jessica, she was able to duck down just in time as the ball flew past her, however, it hits Aditi who was behind her, sending the shorter girl flying towards a flower patch.

I wanna live close to the sun

The scene changes to the study room where Sheldon was busy reading and calculating stuff from a book. To his dismay, Rory and Sua were on the other side of the room jamming to music, with Rory slamming his hands on a table to the beat to improvise drumming and Sua singing, or rather, screaming some lyrics.

Well, pack your bags 'cause I've already won

Sheldon became angry and crumpled up a piece of paper to throw at the two. Hector however passes by the room on his wheelchair with Jace pushing it and Hector is accidentally hit on the head with the paper. This causes Jace to send a glare towards Sheldon.

Everything to prove, nothing in my way

Back outside just near the forest that was near the manor was Tyler with a hunting bow and arrow with him, ready to aim and shoot. Suddenly, Jeremy scares him from behind by singing and acting out some gestures from musicals… with a hand drawn clown mask on his face. Tyler accidentally shoots aimlessly towards a tree, sending birds flying away, which now surprises the musical nerd.

I'll get there one day

The scene cuts to Wyonetta who was now in a dark room. She looked cautiously everywhere with a flashlight on her hand and began to step backwards as a sign of almost wanting to run out of the room. When she turned back, she accidentally ran into Eli, who was a bit shocked by her running into him but nonetheless bore a smirk on his face.

'Cause I wanna be famous

In the foyer, Summer was seen putting a disk on a phonograph. She smiled, giving the audience a sign that music began playing from the phonograph though no one can hear as what we are hearing right noe is the theme song. A hand then was in front of her, in a 'may I have this dance?' kind of motion. Summer looked up and saw Pierre who wore a smile on his face. She gladly accepted his offer and the two began to dance.

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!

In one of the bedrooms, Laverne was seen trying on some outfits she brought along with her. Naka was also watching her do so, complimenting on how the model looked. Laverne then gave Naka an outfit to try on as she thought it would fit her but Naka's expression says otherwise.

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

Dustin was back in the basement, looking at the room full of the Manorian treasures. The only light source in the room then begins to run out, resulting in only pure darkness.

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

The darkness clears up, revealing a rather ghostly being looking much like a human, only a ghost or some spirit. He had grayish hair, and a blue outfit that made him look like some kind of royal guard. It cannot be Dimetrius, right?

*whistling in tune*

Mist takes over the screen and eventually clears up as the cast now gathered up in the foyer's main staircase for a cast picture. As the camera snapped the picture, the words Total Drama Knightfall showed up on screen.


After the opening sequence, the camera cuts to the main dining room. It didn't looked as formal as the banquet hall, but it was still decorated enough for it to be called spiffy. The team that occupied the first table was no other than the team that bit the dust first in the competition: the Lytsaris.

The team was seen eating their breakfast, which was surprisingly not slop. Where could Chef Hatchet be? No one knows… But that was not the case. What mattered to them was getting good food, despite the fact that they lost last night, with the exception of Maelle who just gracefully ate her food.

Summer had her eyes fixated on both Wyonetta and Sheldon. She couldn't help but feel that the hockey player asked for the intelligent boy's vote against Sua, and that they did the same for Pierre and Jace.

Wyonetta caught wind of Summer's gaze and decided to speak up. "What?"

The blonde quickly looked down to her food and continued eating. "Nothing."

"I know what you were thinking." the hockey player began. "That vote last night. You and your allies were outnumbered by us."

The 80s girl sighed. She still couldn't shake that feeling off of her head.

"Move on, blondie. You'll get to see her when you're eliminated." Wyonetta rolled her eyes.

Summer was unfazed by the insult and just continued eating anyway. Rory, who was sitting next to the blonde however, did not looked that pleased at all.

"Eyo Wyo, can't you just, you know, maybe pipe down on the insults a bit?" he asked. "It's getting on people's nerves now, you know."

The hockey player rolled her eyes, taking a scoop of her sliced waffle, plopping it to her mouth.


Rory (Lytsari): He had his arms crossed. "Sometimes I can't stand Wyo, but I do have to admit that she pretty much does bring a lot to the team."

"Yeah, me too." Summer said from the other side of the door.

"Waugh, how long have you been standing there?" Rory asked frantically. "Glad I was talking about Wyo's game and not anything else though." He sighed in relief.


The team fell silent for a bit as the camera showed the team's resident nerd, enjoying his food.

"You know if you dip this in the sauce," Sheldon said as he began dipping his baked cheese stick on the tomato sauce that was right in front of him.


Wyonetta (Lytsari): "Say one more nerdy thing right in front of my face and I will flick that pint-sized bowl right off of your head."


"...you can taste the sauce." Sheldon finished, plopping the dipped cheese stick right on his mouth. "Mm-mmm…"

Pierre let out a high-pitched laugh, not being able to comprehend what Sheldon was saying. "Of course you can taste the sauce, you literally dipped it in, you know!"

Maelle was eyeing Pierre's actions intently. It seemed as though she was gaining a suspicious vibe from him, even though he wasn't technically doing anything wrong at this time.


Maelle (Lytsari): "Of course I do know that Naka and Pierre were just together for a little while last challenge, and moreso it could've just been a coincidence that they've both ended up in the same room. But I still cannot shake the feeling that what if those two had some sort of contract with each other and are secretly teaming up? Does not help that Naka was my former teammate either so seeing both of their sides is still difficult on my part."


Jace (Lytsari): He was writing down on a notebook. "Being the quiet one in the team isn't really easy," he began, turning his notebook over to the next page. "But sometimes being with them gives me inspiration to write. That is… if anyone will ever appreciate them. This is why I only write to myself… because let's face it, no one will really care about my works except for me."


The Chevaliers were eating silently, all watching Maelle interact with her new team. Even though it only had been a couple of days… or rather probably just a day, the team vibe seemed weird without her.

Except for maybe Gerald, who was happily eating his breakfast, looking at the vacant seat next to him from time to time.


Foster (Chevaliers): "I don't know why but Gerald has always been making my head hurt. Is this because of this whole Allan thing? I don't even know if that was him I saw last night. I hope it was just a dream."


"I don't think she looks too happy on her new team." Pandora commented as she ate her breakfast.

Tala, who eas seated next to her nodded in agreement. "Yeah. I do have to admit that Maelle's attitude can get a bit strict sometimes but she's still a good person."

"She'll get used to it." Naka shrugged. Her tone of her voice was enough to make the others wonder if there was conflict.


Naka (Chevaliers): "I'm still kind of mad at Maelle for thinking that I'm on kahoots with Pierre. I'm not."


"Allan says you guys shouldn't fight. Table manners." Gerald said.

"Yeah… I agree with Gerald." Tyler chimed in.

"Allan." Gerald corrected.

"Allan." The hunter repeated… with an annoyed tone.


Tyler (Chevaliers): "Now I know how Maelle felt."


Jeremy saw the immediate tension his team was having. "You guys okay? Really though, fighting right now is a bad idea. Who knows what will happen in the next challenge."

"We don't even know what will happen today so don't even try to tell us what to do." Foster glared.

This made Jeremy sat still for a while, his eyes just narrowing at Foster. This made the survivalist become guilty.

"Look, sorry Jeremy. I just have a headache right now." Foster said as he stopped eating.

"Okay." Jeremy nodded before going silent.


"How's your arm?"

"It's alright. Still healing." Jessica answered, she was seated next to Hector. "Looks like they aren't getting along well." Jessica looked at the Chevaliers.

Hector laughed in agreement. "Yeah, you're right. So are they, though." He pointed towards Laila and Laverne who were staring daggers at each other. "And maybe them too." Hector pointed towards Wyonetta and Sheldon. He saw Sheldon dipping his cheese stick in the dip which made him laugh. "Haha, look how dipped his cheese stick."

"You know, Laila and Laverne aren't gonna fight for long." Eli told them, grabbing a packet of bread, eating some of its contents.

"Are you implying something?" Hector and Jessica asked Eli in unison.

"Nothing." Eli winced.

Meanwhile, Aditi was just mixing her cup of milk. Fridge noticed how low she looked so he talked to her. "You okay, Frienditi? Still curious about that newspaper?"

"Yeah, I guess. It's just too hard to ignore now. It makes me think that this season will be a hoax. Or a trap." the wanderer answered sadly.

"If it was a trap, then Chris should've known." Fridge answered. "I don't know either, Frienditi. Maybe we should wait?"

"Yeah, let's wait and see if more info will be revealed." Aditi nodded as they continued to eat.

"Knights, we are leaving for the challenge venue after lunch. Since it's breakfast right now, feel free to do whatever you want until noon." Chris announced as he was also in the dining room along with the staff.


Chris (Host): "I don't think we're gonna have enough footage for this episode. This one is gonna be pretty long so should we just cut to the challenge venue?"

The producer just nodded off-screen.

"You sure? We could miss some juicy stuff."

"We'll have juicy stuff in the challenge."

"Okay, challenge it is." Chris shrugged. "This scene was kind of bland anyway."


The camera definitely fast-forwarded to the challenge area. They were no longer in Manoria as the cast was seen getting off a bus, stepping closer to the palace in front of them. Yes, a palace.

"Welcome everyone, to Maze Palace!" Chris welcomed the whole cast as they entered the venue.

The palace looked extremely tall as the ceilings were decorated with several mosaic designs of flowers. There were walls everywhere and a few rooms here and there. Just by how everything was arranged, one could easily just walk in and never come back. No wonder why this was called the Maze Palace.

Everyone looked at the lavish place with awe while Pandora began to take pictures.

Flash! Click!

That is until Chris stopped her.

"No taking of pictures, Pandora."

"Sorry." the photographer apologised as she turned her camera off.

"Now as I was saying before the flashes ruined my small but awesome looking eyes, this palace once belonged to Dimetrius' parents, King Helianthus Knightfall and Queen Dianthus Knightfall. They have been trapped in this castle after the day Dimetrius was assassinated and no one knows if they're alive so whichever team finds them first whether dead or alive wins yada yada yada yada." Chris quickly rammed in through his explanation (which he actually got from google and wikipedia… yeah, you heard that right).


Eli (Ritter): "Ugh, what's with this family's deal with flowers? Even Dimetrius' name was like Ranun-something-sus, I don't know." he scratched his head in confusion.


Naka (Chevaliers): "Wait, so are we trying to save someone or are we trying to find someone's corpse?" she shuddered.


"So that is all? Very well, we must march forth as one! Make haste!" Sheldon declared proudly as if he was the general of a royal army and almost started to march down the hall when Chris stopped him.

"Not so fast, Sir Headbowl. Aha," Chris chuckled after giving the nickname. "There is a catch."

"When is there not a catch, you know?" Laila sighed dramatically, flipping her strawberry blonde hair behind her back in the process, examining her manicured nails about a second later. "It's been three challenges. I'm sick of this so-called Manoria already."

"We're not even in Manoria, you know." Laverne sneered from behind.

"Oh, hush yourself and your silly blue rompers. I don't care. As long as you make me happy, I'll get what you want." Laila scoffed, pulling a fan from thin air and began fanning herself.

Laverne gritted her teeth as she felt that Laila was hinting their alliance. Of course, Eli heard all of this from behind them.


Eli (Ritter): "Are they trying to make things obvious?"


As soon as more chitter chatter rose up in the air, Chris cleared his throat as loud as he could.

"Ahem."

Everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Thank you. Anyway before I was once again so rudely interrupted by the lot of you, let me explain the catch."

This declaration by Chris was immediately followed by his rhythmic clapping as if he was cueing something.

Or someone.

Two figures, a boy and a girl, emerged from the first hallway just by the entrance. Both looked like interns as they were both wearing some sort of uniform.

The girl had pale skin, sapphire blue eyes, and blonde hair that was up in a ponytail that was held by a blue ribbon. She looked fairly tall as well, practically as tall as the boy.

The boy had yellowish skin, dark black eyes and short length dark grey-ish hair that he didn't really care about going all over his face. He also wore round eyeglasses that made his look a bit more sophisticated despite his unkempt hair.

"Paige and Minghao here will make sure you two don't find the royal couple." Chris instructed. "That's the catch. Also, you two along with Dustin, do bring everybody's weapons here, please."

"Will do." Paige gave Chris a weak and quick salute (along with the mixture of a suspicious look on her face).

"...Yeah exactly what she said." Minghao nodded, giving the same suspicious expression towards Paige this time. Dustin didn't say anything towards the two besides just giving off a plain shrug.

The trio head towards a room on the right, bringing out boxes of weapons around two minutes later. Lots of materials clanking with each other can be heard from the inside of the boxes.

"Wait, weapons?" Pandora asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, weapons." Tala clarified her. The photographer looked at her for a brief moment and the two made eye contact.

...That is until Tala bashfully looked away.


Tala (Chevaliers): "Okay… this may sound kinda weird but… I love how Pandora's eyes looked. I… don't even know."


"Okay, since we have three boxes of weapons in here, knights you may now go ahead and open your box of weapons. One box per team. You will use these to fight against Paige or Minghao, or basically anyone not in your team should you encounter any of them. Be careful as the weapons are coated with sleeping powder." Chris reminded the cast.

The gang of teens then spread apart according to their teams and began their unboxing of weapons, with the camera focusing on the Ritter team first and foremost as Paige gave them the box.

"You know, this box isn't really that heavy now that I think about it. Or maybe it's because I am actually pretty strong." Paige giggled giddily but immediately changed her mood into a serious one right after. "Be careful though, those are guns."

"Guns?" Aditi asked in disbelief as she pulled out a rather old fashioned looking gun that you would see probably during the 70s or the 80s. "I don't think I can handle wieding any of these weapons… they look pretty dangerous..."

"Oh please, these are probably fake. I know for sure my bodyguards have all sorts of guns and rifles for the sake of my family's security." Laila explained her side in a matter-of-fact kind of manner. "For sure I know what guns actually look like." She grabbed a gun, aimed for the wall and pulled the trigger without warning, startling the cast.

Bam!

"...Oooooooooooor maybe your guns are actually the modernised guns and these are the ones you would see around a few centuries ago." Laverne opposed as she had her hands on her ears.

"Would you two just get along?" Jessica sighed in frustration, clutching her arm in the process. "And Laila, don't do that again."

"How will we win though if you don't do it?" Laila asked her.

"As if you're going to do it." Jessica muttered.

Fridge looked over at Laila then at Aditi. "Don't worry, Frienditi. I think Laila's right. They are probably fake."

"See, even this… huge chunk over here agrees with me so just don't even think about debating against my own opinion, Laverne." Laila dismissed, having to stop herself from saying anything that would look down towards her teammates or otherwise, her deal with Laverne is off.

"I never even said that they weren't fake, what the heck! Snap off!" Laverne fired at the snob.

Hector immediately cleared his throat as loud as he could in order to stop the two from arguing any further. "Let's just use everything inside this box, okay? If it's fake, then good. If not, just be extra careful."

"Exactly what Hector just said." Eli chimed in. "I don't think we're gonna last long if you two keep this up."

Laila and Laverne looked at each other with piercing glares at one another for a few seconds, before crossing their arms and looking away towards their respective opposite directions.

Jessica sighed in relief. "Thank gosh that was over."

On the Lytsari corner, they've been getting… quite useful weapons. That is… weapons that can't really deal much damage, like…

"Seriously? Shields?" Wyonetta scoffed, which was followed by an eyeroll of pure annoyance right as Minghao opened their weapon box. "What kind of dumb knight goes charging into battle with just a shield? What are they, Captain America?"

Pierre let out a laugh as soon as he heard the mention of the hero. "You know, we could always wonk people's heads with shields."

"I don't think shields would work that way, xiōngdì." Minghao shook his head, trying his best to converse with the team that had just fallen the other night. "I mean sure, they're mostly used for protection, but I don't think it's a good idea to use shields if you're going for an extremely offensive route… at least that's what they say in video games."

"How?" asked Jace. Either way his face didn't even looked that interested into the topic, maybe he said that just to get Minghao to shut up because then again, peace and quiet.

"Oh, you mean like this?" Wyonetta grabbed a random shield from the box and zonked Sheldon's head with it.

Whack!

His hair instantly went up as if the shield held some sort of static and his glasses were sent spiralling towards the ground. "By golly, I can see all sorts of stars! There's the sun, polaris, sirius, kepler-"

"Kepler's a star?" Jace asked the nerd in disbelief, but of course he couldn't answer it due to his… current predicament.

"Isn't Kepler a guy though?" Pierre asked, adding (rather unnecessary) fuel to the fire.

"Pardon me all, but I really don't think that this is the right time to discuss, you know, stars." Maelle butted in to the conversation, before realizing that Wyonetta was already grumblig of annoyance from beside her... and backed off.

"Ugh, you guys and your pea-brained theories, gosh! You know Sheldon, you may have the brain about the size of spaceship but being dizzy gave you a pint-sized one instead." Wyonetta grumbled, throwing away the shield she held to I-don't-care-where land while keeping an extremely annoyed look at her team with the exception of Summer and Rory.

Summer watched the team's commotion not too far from them. "You know Rory, it's been barely past a day but I already miss Sua."

"Yeah, she was pretty fun to hang out with even if that didn't last long." The drummer added with a quick chuckle. "I just wish we didn't had to eliminate someone this early, let alone lose the first real challenge."

Summer took one more glance at her team before turning her attention to the weapon box Minghao left. "If we won't lose the next ones, we'll be safe because if not, chances are the odds are in their favor. And I'm pretty sure people during the 80s weren't that heartless… well maybe except for a few people."

The camera shifts towards the Chevalier team who were just about to open up their weapon box brought by Dustin. "Hey guys, I am really not sure if this is the right box. It was too heavy."

"Aren't weapons supposed to be heavy, though?" Foster asked, already feeling a bit skeptic towards the assistant.

Dustin noticed the survivalist's facial expression and did his best to counter it. "They are, but swords are not supposed to be this heavy," he leaned towards the team as the volume of his voice fell down to a whisper. "especially since the weapons are supposed to be fake. Pretty sure the others don't know that yet."

"Ahem." Chris cleared his throat loudly for the Chevaliers to hear him, especially Dustin. "What did I tell you about talking things with the contestants?"

"It's not that game-related, Chris. No need to judge." The chess player gave a quick eye roll of annoyance as he lied.


Dustin (Assistant): "I shouldn't have accepted this job. Now Chris thinks I'm stubborn nuisance."


"There's only one way to find out~" Jeremy said in a sing-song voice as he began working his way into opening said box. As he did so, his facial expression immediately faded to a very very confused face, earning the attention of the others.

"What's in it?" Gerald asked and walked towards to where the musical nerd was standing. He peeked inside the box and then gave off the exact same expression Jeremy gave.

"You know guys, we're definitely not going anywhere if you just give us those faces and, you know, not actually telling us what's in there." Naka crossed her arms.

"Maybe you guys will understand better if you all come here and peek." Gerald countered.

The rest of the Chevaliers went to where the box is and now they were confused.

Rocks? Under this… whatever this white stuff was?

"Why rocks?" Tyler asked out loud. "Were there rocks being used in war during the medieval times? Then again, I don't even know if those guns over there existed during those times." He pointed to the guns the Ritter team was holding.

"Of course they use rocks in prehistoric times though, but I don't get it." Tala shook her head. She looked at the white substance covering the box and widened her eyes in realization.

"Hey, what's this white stuff?" Pandora asked curiously scooping a handful and examined it, before giving it a few sniffs-

-until Tala knocked off the photographer's hand, thus knocking the white substance off and onto the floor.

"Hey!"

"Don't inhale it. It's methamphetamine." the mathematician quickly spoke.

Several eyes in their team widened to this revelation.

"Metha- what?" Jeremy asked, having to blink a few times to fully understand what she was saying.

"Methamphetamine. It's a drug. An illegal one. Rarely prescribed because I honestly don't think those even work, they just make your nervous system worse. Learned about it in school and it's really not pretty." Tala explained.


Pandora (Chevaliers): "I'm actually thankful Tala shooed it off of my hand, I honestly didn't know it was a drug." her lips parted into a warm smile. "She's so smart, you know?"


All pairs of eyes turned to Dustin.

"You didn't put that in the box, didn't you?" Foster eyes the chess player.

"Hey, I didn't! Look at the box label, it literally says swords in it." Dustin defended himself, genuinely angry about being accused for something like this. "Someone must've maybe switched things out."

The Lytsari and Ritter teams had their eyes on the Chevaliers because of their commotion.

"What's wrong?" Chris asked, more in an annoyed tone than in a concerned one.

"Chris there are DRUGS in that box! Who put them in there anyway?" The assistant asked, not in a pleasant matter either as drugs was a serious topic to talk about.

"Let's set this aside. Dustin, find the box with the swords now because we are really not gonna start the challenge if we just sit here and blame who put what." The host commanded.

"I'll help." Naka volunteered. Dustin nodded at her volunteering and the both of them went to go find the box.

Moments later, the two arrived with a less heavier box this time. Foster wasted no time and opened it, revealing a bunch of swords. Grabbing one, he examined it with his eyes and hands. "This one is heavy, are you sure this isn't real?"

"They're not. Fine." Chris dismissed the topic. He then cued Paige and Minghao to leave the area and hide to start messing with the contestants. The host also pointed to the three doors in the room, to which each team has to position in front of the doors. "Opening these doors will lead you inside the palace. Defend yourselves if you encountered someone not in your team. The sleeping powder will just give you time to escape if you defeat your opponent."

As he was saying even more instructions, the teams walked over to the doors. Jace slightly opened he door and took a quick peek only to be met with three paths and walls. "Gosh, Chris was right. It does look like a maze in there."

"Contestants, GO!"


Jace had no time to close the door as the contestants pushed their way in. The camera panned to the Lytsari team as they all hopped into the door, beginning their search for the way to the throne room.

"Bro, what kind of royal family lives in a literal maze?" Rory jutted his chin in thought as he had his shield on hand. The Lytsari team were already jogging towards the middle path. "Really, how are you going to find your way to every single nook and cranny if you can't even memorize how your own house is built?"

"Well that was their problem. Explain why no one lives here anymore maybe." Pierre shrugged.

The team continued to jog through the hall, not even sure where to go. There were corners everywhere, and different paths that could lead to different areas. The Lytsaris never even bothered to turn left or right as they kept on going straight. Jace was basically leading the entire team by now, followed by Pierre, Sheldon, Rory, and Maelle. Wyonetta was a bit behind them, perhaps muttering a million reasons why she thinks her team sucks.

Summer purposely began to jog a bit slower to wait for Wyonetta. Actually, it seemed more like walking than jogging. Maelle noticed this and peeked behind her shoulder, but later on disregarded this as she jogged forward.

"Ugh, what do you want? I though we're already through with this convo." The hockey player groaned as she already knew what Summer was about to say.

"No, we're not done. Seriously. Sheldon was a better choice to boot him off. Why did you pick Sua instead?" Summer crossed her arms. She was usually never this annoyed due to her rather cheerful nature but something about Wyonetta getting the majority of the team to vote for Sua just ticks her off. "And I thought you hated Sheldon."

"Listen here you 90s addict or whatever." The Filipino-Canadian girl narrowed her eyes towards the blonde. "Yes, Sheldon is an almighty pain in the ass, but if you think about it even more, he may be more useful than that poor excuse of an idol. Sheldon has brains. Sure, he is not physically fit but considering the challenges we had these past few days, things are more puzzle-y. Sua may be physically fit because of her idol life, but she has the brain of a freaking kindergartener who thinks that ABC and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star use different melodies!"

Summer thought about it for a while, before sighing in defeat. She had nothing to back it up. Sure, Sua didn't do anything wrong but there wasn't really a reason to keep her around either. "Yeah, I guess you were right."

"I told you so." Wyonetta triumphantly smirked. "I don't think we should vote off Sheldon just yet. Do you know who should probably go next?"

"Who?"

"Jace." Wyonetta shrugged. "I am honestly not too sure but he contributed the least between all of us."

"I was with Jace last night in the safe challenge though. He's actually pretty helpful." Summer countered.

"Well that's your opinion." the hockey player huffed. She suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"What?"

"They're gone."

Wyonetta was right. She and Summer lagged so far behind that they couldn't see the rest of the Lytsaris anymore. Then again, they were probably just straight ahead, but who knows?

Back to the rest of the Lytsari team, they were still walking in the hall. They weren't going straight anymore as they were entering the second floor via a staircase they found on the right side of the palace.

"Yo man, I don't even know where we're going anymore." Rory sighed, the drummer already feeling tired from so much walking. "Not to mention, those stairs were pretty high up. Whose big idea was to make them that steep anyway?"

"People with short legs probably." Pierre shrugged. He pulled out something from his pocket. It was a compass, one that was silver in color. He showed it to the team. "Do you guys think this could help us?"

"I don't know. I mean, we really don't know which direction the throne room is in. We don't even know if it really is on the second floor." Jace answered with uncertainty. "Worst of all, any of the other teams could be closer to it than we are."

Sheldon looked at the staircase they just climbed up, then at the balcony of the second floor. There was a huge painting of a flower vase full of roses just hanging on the wall. "I am assuming that we are not too far from the throne room."

"What makes you say that?' Maelle asked, not necessarily believing his guesses.

"If you do try to consider how Manoria was built," Sheldon began, trying to explain the similarities of the structures between Manoria and Maze Palace. "There were flower vases of all kinds of flowers scattered everywhere. In the living room, there was one with buttercups. The scientific name of buttercup is Ranunculus, which is part of Dimetrius' name. Most likely would indicate that he lives there."

"...So?" Pierre asked the nerd, not even getting the context.

Sheldon adjusted his glasses. "So, if we happen to find any paintings of flowers that are either helianthuses or dianthuses, then we should be closer to the throne room."

"And those are the scientific names of?" Pierre asked the nerd again, trying to understand what he meant.

"Helianthuses are sunflowers, whilst dianthuses are carnations." Sheldon finished off. "Use that compass Pierre, because it will be helpful if we were to take it in a directional aspect."


Rory (Lytsari): He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. "I'm glad I'm not the only one who barely understood what he said."


Maelle tilted her head, looking at the rose painting. "Are you absolutely sure that that isn't a painting of a carnation?"

Sheldon shook his head. "Negative. Their rather similar frilly appearances caused several misunderstandings amongst people."

Maelle gave him an inaudible "I see" before stepping back. "By the way, where are Summer and Wyonetta?"

Rory widened his eyes at the sound of their teammates missing. "They were right behind us though-"


Maelle (Lytsari): "I shouldn't have taken my eyes off of them while they were discussing whatever it was they were discussing. Now they're gone."


"Let's go. Maybe we'll find Wyo and Summer along the way." Jace declared, looking towards Rory.

The drummer nodded. "I sure hope so."

Speaking of the two, back where Wyonetta and Summer were at, the Lytsari duo continued to walk cluelessly through the hall, eventually reaching a staircase- most likely the exact same one the other Lytsaris went. The question is, do they know that they went up?

"Do you think they could have gone up?" Summer asked the hockey player, trying to squint her eyes in case she could see any of the Lytsari team just chilling by the balcony.

"Probably not." Wyonetta denied, not even looking up on said staircase. "Let's keep going. This place is already starting to give me the creeps."

The two walked a few centimeters past the staircase until-

"WYO, DUCK!" Summer called out.

A sword was seen flying towards Wyonetta. The hockey player had no time to react right when she turned her back and saw the said sword. Instead, her eyes spelled shock and fear, something that she wouldn't even show in front of Summer.

Speaking of the 80s girl, she immediately jumped right in front of the hockey player, holding her shield in front of herself. The sword hit the middle of the shield itself with a clank, before spiralling on to the ground.

"Oh, that was close." Wyonetta sighed in relief, genuinely freaked out by what just happened.


Summer (Lytsari): She had a smile on her face. "That was the second time I actually saved someone from my team. This weird occurrence is pretty cool, to be honest."


"Dammit!" A male voice cursed from the direction where the sword came from.

"Hey!" Wyonetta shouted as loud as she could to get the boy's attention. "That was probably you, huh Minghao? I'll admit that that was a nice shot, but you lose so you suck, sucker! You thought I didn't hear you, well think again!"

The intern stepped aside from where he was hiding to show himself. He still had one more sword with him. Instead of feeling down due to Wyonetta's taunt, a proud smile parted from his lips. "Thanks for the compliment, jiějiě. But I'll have to admit that that was not gonna be my best shot!" He encouraged himself before pushing his sword forward to the two girls as if he were in a fencing match. Both girls ducked down just in time as Wyonetta went and slapped the boy's sword off of his hand. "Hey, what gives?"

"I've tackled some bad eggs during my hockey matches so let's have a round of tackling." Wyonetta smirked as she tackled Minghao to the ground.


Wyonetta (Lytsari): "Actually I don't remember if I tackled anyone before but let's get on with it, ehehe."


"Summer, help me out over here!" Wyonetta commanded. Summer rushed over to her aid before landing a hit on Minghao with her shield. The Chinese boy however got up and performed a high kick, sending Summer's shield away from her grip. This caused Wyonetta to tackle the boy again to the ground. She hit his stomach with her own shield, hoping to immobilize him for a bit.


Summer (Lytsari): "I swear, Chris said that the shield had sleeping powder on it. I mean the shield felt powdery on the outside. How come Minghao did not get affected by it? Maybe its effects are slow..."


"Summer, run!" Wyonetta ordered her teammate. "I'll buy you time, go find the others!"

Summer did not move. Was it right to just leave her here?

"RUN YOU IDIOT, RUN!"

"Right!" Summer nodded hesitantly and rushed up the stairs as she assumed earlier that her teammates ran up.

When Summer was out of sight, Wyonetta let go of Minghao after throwing a few hits to him and aimed for the stairs. However, this did not stop Minghao from letting the hockey player get away from his sight. Once Wyonetta was up above the staircase, Minghao rushed behind her and pulled her foot backwards for her to trip.

"Argh, you'll pay for that!" Wyonetta grunted and lunged forward to tackle him again. However, it seemed as though she completely forgot that they were right on the stairs so she tackled him in the wrong direction, sending the both of them tumbling down lower and lower, their backs hitting every other step.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

THUMP.

Both of them hit the floor with loud thuds.

"Owwwwww, my back…" Minghao winced in pain as he landed at the bottom of the staircase.

Wyonetta grunted loudly on the other hand, having trouble standing up. She saw the shield that she still had, dabbed her hand around it to get some sleeping powder and walked up to the fallen intern.

"Good night, you stupid bozo. Gong xi fat choy." She chuckled weakly before sprinkling the sleeping powder right on his face, causing him to fall asleep after a few seconds. Once he was knocked out, the hockey player rushed upstairs to catch up to Summer and find the rest.


Wyonetta (Lytsari): She had an ice pack on her head. "That didn't really sound like mocking, right? I mean, I literally just greeted him Happy Lunar New Year, right-"


"Wow, this place is huge." Hector commented as he continued to follow the rest of the Ritter team by manoeuvring his wheelchair (though Jessica was helping by pushing his wheelchair from behind).

"Not to mention very pretty." Fridge grinned as well.

"Yeah, man." Eli said, getting his gun ready if things go wrong. "Maybe we should devise a plan to make things easier."

"What plan?" asked Jessica.

"Maybe we could lure people somewhere." Laila suggested as she examined her manicured nails. "We do have the upper hand when it comes to sounds because guns are supposed to be loud."

"They have sleep bullets though so I don't think they'll be loud enough." Laverne shrugged, opposing Laila's plan.

"We won't know unless we try, you know." Laila glared. "Just agree with me for once because you all think that I probably don't do much to help you all."

"But you can't just test it right now to see if it's loud enough, what if you hit someone by accident?" Laverne raised her voice, clearly not buying the plan.

"Then I will just aim it towards the wall!" Laila cemented her defense as her left eye visibly twitched due to her ally's disagreement.

"Stop it, the both of you. Now." Jessica ordered, but Eli grabbed her arm, shaking his head towards her. She turned back and saw Hector mouthing "no" as they both didn't want her to get dragged into potential trouble… which was already trouble if we're talking about guns.

"No, don't do it."

"I will not aim for anybody, I swear." Laila said as she got the trigger ready, aiming for a door which was about a few meters away from them.

"Stop it, please…" Aditi quietly pleaded, feeling uncomfortable as she felt things were going to take a turn for the worst.

"You two need to be quiet, right now!" Hector joined in the yelling in an attempt to make both girls stop.


Eli (Ritter): "Oh crikey, guess I was wrong about everyone being good to each other. I don't even know how are we going to stop them."


Both Eli and Jessica tried to pull both girls apart but Jessica was only pushed to the ground for an answer and the gun was aiming right towards where Eli was standing so he moved away.

"Ugh, give me that before you hurt anyone by mistake!" Laverne shouted, rushing forward to the snob as she tried to grab her gun.

"No, let me have this for once!" Laila yelled.

"Give me it!"

"No!"

"Give it!"

"Never!"

This time, Aditi had already enough. "STOP IT ALREADY, PLEASE!"

BAM!

BANG!

Everyone in the Ritter team all yelped, extremely at the sudden dangerous noise. The noise came from the gun that Laila and Laverne were fighting about and it looked as if both girls accidentally pulled the trigger. Two bullets shot out from the gun. The first one hit the wall as expected but due to their sudden shift of movement, the second one landed…

...right at Fridge's arm.

Eli, Hector, Aditi, Laila, Laverne, and Jessica all looked at the dumb jock with pure shock and fear on their faces (with a mixture of guilt in Laila and Laverne's sides). However, Fridge looked…

...just fine?

"Friends, I am okay! The bullet did not hurt because Chris said the weapons were fake and he was right!" Fridge tried assuring everyone in his team. He casually picked the sleep bullet out of his arm, without leaving a scratch on it whatsoever and threw it on the ground, further confusing the team even more. "See?"

"Wait, are you sure?" Jessica asked worriedly. Fridge genuinely nodded without any hesitation.

"Yeah, I'm a-okay!"

Despite the signs and sighs of relief the team showed, Aditi still looked genuinely worried, visibly angry and extremely upset. It didn't seemed like her at all, but something about the commotion just stooped down so low for her.

"No… n-no, t-that is not okay." the smaller girl stuttered, looking as if she was going to burst into tears any second. She looked at Laila and Laverne with anger in her watery eyes. "D-did… did you see what you two have done? W-what if… w-what would you do if that weapon was real and they gave us a real one by accident?"

Everyone listened to Aditi with extremely surprised expressions from her sudden outburst. This was enough to make Laila and Laverne hung their heads down in shame and guilt.

"I… just leave me alone for a second." Aditi sighed before dropping her own gun and ran away from her team. Her cries can be heard from far away but they have faded as she ran farther.

"Frienditi, wait!"

"No." Jessica immediately stopped the fortunately unharmed Fridge. "You stay here. I'll go after her. Make sure you guys don't do anything stupid or else you're going home tonight. No exceptions." she threatened, sending a piercing glare towards both the snob and the model before dashing off to find Aditi. This cause silence to ensue among the five Ritters.

"Wow, you guys really did fucked this one up big time. Ouch." Eli winced quietly but he earned a disappointing sigh from Hector.

"Dude, please don't make things worse than it already is." said the engineer.

"Sorry."


Fridge (Ritter): "Why was Frienditi so sad? I'm not hurt, see?" He showed the camera his arm which again, had no scratch on it whatsoever, not even a wound. "I don't want Frienditi sad. I promise that I'm safe! I'm-" he slouched forward and fell off his seat, snores echoing throughout the confessional room.


Jessica was now seen walking in the halls in a fast pace, looking for Aditi. She looked at every single room she saw in case she would find the wanderer inside, but with no hope.

Sighing, she made a left turn. She knew she was getting farther and farther from the rest of the group, but she didn't mine, because the top priority right now in her mind right now was to find Aditi.

As soon as she could hear some light sniffling, she knew she was close by. Her fast paced stepped soon gradually slowed down to light tiptoes, being very cautious of not to scare the smaller girl by accident. The door to the room she was on was opened, and she could get a glimpse of her sitting on the floor with her arms around her legs with head buried in them, quietly weeping.

"Aditi?"

"No. Stay away from me."

Jessica didn't listen. She didn't want to stay away from her. She just wanted to help.

"I'm not gonna move away from you no matter what you say." The wrangler declared, moving only inches closer to her. She turned back to see if anyone was watching her. There was no one but she still looked back and walked closer and closer to the Turk without even looking at her.

"I said STOP!"

Right after Jessica heard the final plea from Aditi, she felt herself being harshly pushed to the side as the sound of an arrow hitting someone can be heard coming her way. The wrangler groaned her arm in pain as she landed on it by accident, but what frightened her the most was the fact that Aditi quickly took the hit for her.

"Aditi? Oh my god, I-" Jessica was unable to come up with words. She didn't know what to feel. Gratitude because Aditi saved her? Or guilt because she couldn't help her?

"Teehee! Looks like this one was a bit dramatic!" A cheeky female voice was heard off to the right.

A growl pursed through Jessica's lips as she saw the source, which was Paige and her trusty arrow.

"Jessica… please run…" Aditi mumbled before falling into a deep slumber.

Jessica shook her head. "No. No more running." She knew that this was only a challenge, but what she also knew was that this challenge could test how much you trust your team. Even just that move that Aditi pulled off right in front of her was enough for Jessica to trust the wanderer wholeheartedly. A rush of adrenaline splashed like a wave, enabling her to lunge forward into Paige and redirect the girl's aim of her bow to herself.

"This… is for my team." Jessica breathed before shooting Paige with her own arrow, causing the archer to eventually fall asleep without saying a word. Once the archer was asleep, Jessica carried Aditi with all of her strength and quickly made haste to the halls to find her teammates, leaving the intern with her bow.

"It's been a while now." Hector winced worriedly glancing at the hall every now and then. "I hope Aditi and Jessica are doig alright."

"Well, we can't just go." Laila crossed her arms.

Laverne narrowed her eyes. "We can go and find them."

"No, no more fighting. We'll split up. Some of you guys go find them while the others stay here." Eli countered. "Raise your hand if you want to stay."

Eli, Laila, and Fridge raised their hands.

"I'm staying. I don't feel like walking a whole mile right now." Laila rolled her eyes.

"I… I don't think Frienditi wants to see me." The big guy shook his head.

"No, don't talk like that." Hector shook his head, patting Fridge's back for assurance.

"Anyone going, raise your hand." Eli instructed. Hector and Laverne raised their hands. "Okay, we're splitting up."

They all watched Eli as he got out a packet of bread… to which he was supposed to eat earlier but probably forgot. He gave the packet to Laverne.

"Use this as a trail. We're not going anywhere. Try not to get lost because that's all I have." Eli instructed.

"Got you. Thanks. Come on Hector, let's go." Laverne said and she and Hector were off with their guns. Eli, Fridge, and Laila all got into a fighting stance in case anyone else arrives.


The Chevaliers felt like they were getting lost. It has been about fifteen minutes with just them walking and running in circles and that did not solve anything.

"Where are we?" Foster asked everyone. "Like I get that this is practically an indoor maze but come on, this place is just way too big."

"We have to get to the throne room." Tala told him. "It's most likely on the second floor so we're gonna have to find a staircase."

"Where?" Jeremy asked but soon came into a halt. "Guys wait."

Everyone stopped in their tracks and followed Jeremy's line of sight. He was looking at… someone falling asleep?

Moving forward, it was Paige who was dead asleep on the floor. It seemed as though a while has passed since Jessica and Aditi have left the area.

Jeremy carefully approached her and picked up her bow and her arrows. "There. That way she won't have anything to defend herself in case she wakes up." He told the team. "So if ever we have to encounter her again, it will be easy."

"How long until she wakes up again?" asked Pandora.

"We don't know." Tala shrugged in response to the photographer's answer. "It could be in a few minutes since we have no idea when did she fall asleep."

Naka looked at Paige even further and saw an arrow on the floor. Jeremy must have overlooked it. "I think she got hit by that arrow. It looked like it's been used."

"Wow, someone must've used Paige's own weapon to hit her." Tyler analyzed. "That was a smart move to be honest."

"Yeah…" Pandora nodded. "We should keep going now. We really don't know who are we going to encounter first."

The group moved past Paige and kept on walking. They made some turns instead of going straight but they felt like they weren't going anywhere.

"I'm starting to hate this place, now." Naka sighed. "Just walking around everywhere makes me feel dizzy."

"Same." Gerald nodded, then looked at his left. "Right, Allan?"

Everyone looked at him, extremely uncomfortable by how often Gerald mentions Allan… except for maybe Foster. The survivalist blinked thrice to see if he could see anything, but nope. What if him seeing Allan the other day was just a hallucination?

"Let's just keep going." Foster instructed and quickly walked to the front of the team.


Gerald (Chevaliers): He sighed in frustration. "What is wrong with him?"


Pandora (Chevaliers): "What is… wrong with Gerald?"


Five more minutes have passed but still nothing. The Chevaliers did not know where were they were running to, if only there had been a map then things would've been much easier.

"Ugh, call me tired and pooped." Jeremy slumped to the ground, holding his sword while gaining his breath. He allowed himself to lag behind for a bit, at least a few meters away from his team.

Then, he heard the sounds of a trigger being pulled. This made him widen his eyes. Someone could be here…

While his team was running straight, he turned his gaze to the right…

...and saw Eli, Fridge, and Laila aiming their guns at him. Eli looked at him, nervous about a possible fight. Fridge looked like he was somehow excited, then again he probably wouldn't knew the extreme dangers of fighting. And there was Laila who looked like she was so done with life.

Jeremy sat there for a bit, not knowing what to do. His teammates were already a bit far from him and he knew he needed them. So there was only one choice to make...

"AMBUSH, AMBUSH! HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE!"


Jeremy (Chevaliers): "Fuck me gently with a chainsaw, why did I said that?"


In an instant, the rest of the Chevaliers ran back and eventually they met up with Jeremy. This was when the battle between the Ritters and Chevaliers commenced.

"Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaarge!" Fridge declared to his remianing two teammates as they began shooting.

"Uh, I'm not so sure about that-" Eli gulped, shooting aimlessly to the walls, with one almost hitting Jeremy in the process. He wasn't too sure on hitting his opponents. Fridge was shooting as well but his terrible aim made only things worse. Luckily, Tyler, Foster, Gerald, and Tala managed to dodge the attacks of the larger boy. Laila didn't even bother to shoot, so instead, she decided to go for someone manually.

"Ugh, why bother hitting them with a gun." Laila rolled her eyes and aimed for Pandora. The photographer had no time to react as the snob tackled her to the ground, not knowing herself that she would do that.

Laila was on top of Pandora, getting ready to shoot the photographer with the sleeping bullet.

"No!" Naka yelled, rushing over to her teammate and pushed the snob away from her.

What she didn't hear was that Pandora yelped out in pain. Naka caught her breath as she wondered why was that the case. Looking at her sword, she saw a small blotch of blood.

What? Weren't these weapons fake?

She looked back at Pandora who was clutching her leg tighly. The cut wasn't that deep but it reached from her ankle to her knee which would be dangerous if not taken care of properly.

Tala quickly rushed over to Pandora's aid and checked her wound. An angry glare was seen on her face. This made her shove Naka into the ground. "What did you do!?"

"I-I'm sorry, I thought the weapon was fake, I swear!" She began to cry, the feeling of guilt immediately rising up within her. Did she and Dustin get the real weapons by accident?

"Well, it's not!" Tala couldn't help began to cry as well just by seeing how Naka reacted. At one point, she felt guilty for pushing and yelling at her, and at the same time, she was worried about Pandora. She stomped and approached Naka, but she didn't know what to do to her.

"Hey, nonononononono!" Tyler yelled from behind as he and Jeremy rushed up to the two girls to break them up. The rest of the Chevaliers and the three Ritters looked at the commotion between the three girls. Foster and Gerald rushed over to Pandora's aid as well.

"Naka, were these weapons real?" Foster asked her even further. "This is just a challenge but we could get anyone seriously hurt if they were real!"

"I don't know!" Naka cried even further. "I really don't know…"

"Stop it." Gerald grabbed Foster's elbow before the survivalist would ask even more. "Allan says you'll make things worse."

"No. No. I'm not gonna handle this anymore. I'm just gonna leave. Leaving will solve everything." Naka got up, left her sword and ran off the scene, her cries being heard in the background.

"Please don't…" Pandora sniffled, feeling bad about everything that was happening. She got up, but pain shot through her. Foster urged her to sit back down with Gerald motioning her to do so.

"What the fuck!" Tala dropped into her knees and buried her face on her hands as she cried. She genuinely didn't know what to feel at this point. Neither did the other Chevaliers.


"No one has reached the throne room yet, button-eyed one." Dimetrius informed Chris as they were back at the lobby. Though by the hint of Dimetrius' voice… he sounded… angry. This startled Dustin a bit as well.

"Uh, you okay Dimetrius?"

"Yes. Never better."

"Okay…"

"This is taking longer than I thought." Chris slumped in an armchair that was somehow there. "Is there any way to make this easier for them? Because I really don't want ro wait that long. The sun is about to set as well."

"Let me handle that." Dimetrius ominously spoke. This was followed by his loud, ominous, mad laughter that could scare everyone in the palace. All of the lights in the palace shut off, only the windows giving the sources of light. The grounds began to shake and grumble, as if an earthquake was about to commence. This spells trouble among the cast.


Blue Chevaliers: Foster, Tyler, Gerald, Jeremy, Tala, Pandora, Naka

Red Ritter: Eli, Fridge, Hector, Aditi, Laila, Laverne, Jessica

Yellow Lytsari: Pierre, Jace, Rory, Sheldon, Maelle, Summer, Wyonetta


Gosh, I had a lot of trouble writing this one lol. This episode is actually a long one so that was the main reason why it's split. Next part might be just as long as this one though, or maybe shorter, but I assure you guys that next challenge for episode 4 isn't that as long lol. Not gonna spill my thoughts about this challenge just yet, but this was pretty fun to write. I've also noticed not everyone gained some spotlight but it's only because they're saved for the next part so I hope you guys are excited for that!

Paige and Minghao are owned by me. I won't be using them that much as they are only interns but hoped you guys like them as well! Paige is currently competing in Total Drama: Infinite Zero and Total Drama: Sakamananno Island (the recent syoc version) while Minghao is soon to debut in Total Drama: Spring Fever.

As always, feedback and thoughts are appreciated! Next part will hopefully come out next week, followed by the Lytsari ode. Thanks for reading!
