Chapter 8 - The secret of the eleventh contestant
Chiro snapped awake. The sky was still dark, and nobody else was up. But Chiro could hear voices and loud giggles.
Chiro sat up, and looked around. He saw two figures in with their backs facing him. Chiro frowned, and crawled up to them. The figures turned around, and Chiro saw an ugly face with red stuff smeared all over it. The sight frightened Chiro, so he screamed as loud as he could, waking Antauri.
Antauri woke, and saw the ugly red face and screamed his head off. Chiro stared at Antauri in shock. "I never knew you could scream that loud!" he said.
"That doesn't matter!" said Antauri. "But what is... that?" He pointed to the ugly red face.
"Hi!" said the face. "I'm Chira! Do you like my make-up?" She smiled innocently.
Antauri stared at Chira, horrified. "That's... make-up?"
"Yeah!" said Chiroo, turning around. She looked twice as bad as Chira, causing Chiro and Antauri to scream again. Everyone else woke up.
"What is it?"
"IT'S THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN!"
"Keep it down!"
"The world is ending!"
"Get a grip, man!" said Nova, then she spotted Chira and Chiroo. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" she screamed.
"That's Chira and Chiroo." said Chiro, disgusted that they were his clones.
Nova glared at the freaks of nature. "In case you're wondering," she said coldly, "It's not Hallowe'en yet! Put on your costumes later!"
"I think you're forgetting, Nova," said Antauri, "That those aren't costumes. It's make-up."
Nova stared at the twins in horror. "I can't believe these are your clones, Chiro!"
Chiro wasn't listening. He could hear something. He frowned, and went to the source of the sound.
"Uh, Chiro?" said Nova. Chiro said nothing, and went off to see what was making the noise.
He came to the food supplies, and gasped. Somebody was stealing the food. "Hey!" he said. "Stop it, Sakko!"
"What are you talking about? Tick, tock."
Chiro gasped. "Scr... Scrapperton?"
Scrapperton nodded. "Yeah! I'm sabotaging your mission, and I'm going to make sure Sakko wins. Well, tick tock, toodle-oo!" He bounced off with half the food.
Chiro stood there for a moment, then sprinted off to the rest of the Hyper Force.
Chiro made it back to camp, just as everyone was eating breakfast and the twins were wiping the make-up off their faces, with tears in their eyes.
"The mean little red monkey was laughing at us!" Chira wailed.
Chiroo nodded, and they began sobbing uncontrollably. Chiro rolled his eyes, and ran over to Antauri.
"Antauri! Scrapperton's been stealing our food!" he blurted out.
Sparx frowned. "Scrapperton? You mean, the 'tick tock' Scrapperton?"
"How many other Scrappertons to we know?" Nova snapped.
"Erm..."
"Exactly. So don't be so stupid!"
Suddenly, the usual booming voice rang out across the island. "COME TO THE BEACH!" Everyone hesitated. "NOW!" the voice screamed. Everyone dashed down to the beach.
The host was already there. Everyone ran up to him, Otto carrying Mr. Jeepers.
"Everyone," said the host quietly, "I have something to tell you."
Everyone listened intendedly.
"Well," the host continued, "When you first came on this island, how many contestants were there?"
"Ten!" shouted Chiro.
"Think again." said the host. Everyone frowned. There was ten, wasn't there?
"But..." stammered Otto. "There was ten! I'm sure of it!" He counted on his fingers. "Yes, there was ten!"
"No." said the host. "There was eleven."
"Who is it?"
"Who's the eleventh contestant?"
"You've already met him." said the host with an evil smile.
Everyone rounded on Bill. "You're the eleventh contestant?" they demanded. Bill frowned.
"No," he said. "I don't think so."
"Yes you are!" said Otto.
"No he isn't." said Chiro quietly. Everyone stared at him.
"Who is, then?" said Sparx. "Bill's the only one we know on this island who wasn't one of the first ten!"
"No." said Chiro. "It's Scrapperton."
"Ah, so you figured it out?" said a voice. "Tick tock!"
Everyone swivelled around, and came face-to-face with Scrapperton.
"Boo!" he said. Chira and Chiroo screamed.
"You're scary!" wailed Chira. "You're so mean!"
"You're meaner than the red monkey!" Chiroo sobbed.
"Who - wait, 'who' isn't the proper term... What are those things?" said Scrapperton.
"They're my clones." Chiro muttered. "Chira and Chiroo."
"Clones? Tick tock."
"Yep. And I hate them."
Chira's eyes filled with tears. "Y... Y-You... hate us?" she blubbered. Chiroo soon burst into tears as well.
"Of course I hate you!" said Chiro, irritated. "All you do is cover your ugly faces with make-up or try and kill me! And if you're not doing that, you're crying!"
That caused the twins to wail even louder. Everyone blocked their ears.
"Make them stop!" Sparx shouted over all the noise. "Somebody make them stop!"
Nova went over to the two girls, and slapped them both on the face. Nova grinned. "Are we rational now?" she asked them.
The twins stopped crying instantly, then nodded. Nova threw them a glare. "Grow up, will you?" she said. "You should find something better to do than bawl your heads off."
Chira lost her temper, and slapped Nova. Or, she attempted to slap her. Nova blocked the slap and sent Chira flying.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Chira screamed as she flew across the beach. Scrapperton was amused.
"Ha ha ha ha!" he laughed. "Do you always do that? Tick tock."
Chiro frowned. "Hey, why are you being nice to us when before you were trying to steal our food?"
Scrapperton shrugged. "I don't feel like being mean today. It's my day off."
"Your... day off? How come we don't have days off?" asked Otto.
Sakko frowned. "I'd only be nice if I was paid to." he said. "And it would have to be a good amount of money."
"You wouldn't be nice if your life depended on it, Sakko!" snapped Gibson.
"Dammit, Gibson!" said Sparx. "You were going to break your record!"
"What record?" Gibson asked.
"To see how long you could your mouth shut!" said Otto with a grin.
"Come to think of it," said Chiro, "When was the last time you spoke...?" Everyone looked at Gibson, who thought deeply.
"Um... That last time I spoke was when we were eating the Allolobophora chlorotica." said Gibson. "Hey! That is quite a long time!"
"What's an allombroph-blah blah blah?" asked Otto.
"If you mean the apples and fish we ate last night..." said Sparx.
Gibson shook his head. "No. The Allolobophora chlorotica is the earthworm we ate." Gibson couldn't believe that nobody knew what he was talking about.
"Oh!" said Otto. "Wasn't 'earthworm' easier to say than. . . . . that other big word?"
"No." said Gibson simply. "Not really."
Everyone gaped at him. "Wow!" said Antauri. "That is a very long time!"
Gibson nodded. Then the host stepped in. "Now, get ready for your next task." he said.
Wow, that was a really bad chapter. And it's true, Gibson really didn't say anything since the earthworm incident. And also, Allolobophora chlorotica is scientific for 'green worm', even though the worm they ate wasn't green.
Bill: I didn't have much of a speaking part.
Me: At least you said something!
Dolphin: (translated) And you said I would have another appearance!
Me: I did? Oh yeah... I did. Don't worry, dolphin! Your time will come. . . . . Read and Review! Or I will kill you!
