Welcome back folks, hope all is well in these times. This chapter is going to be a doozy and throw a lot of you for a loop like ch5 did for many of you. I hope you all enjoy and please join the Discord. Also Hopps and I will be taking a small hiatus from TDIR as Hopps is losing motivation for the story and I've been wanting to focus on my Danganronpa story for a little bit now but don't worry we will finish this story.

"Welcome back viewing audience. Last time Justin took the dock of shame following Alejandro masterful manipulation. Some emotional moments were felt while others distrust each other to the max. Who will be eliminated in this episode. You'll find out soon enough."
The cameras around Camp Wawanakwa popped out of the ground, disturbing the natural wildlife, throwing trash away, and even scaring a couple of interns.
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doin' fine,
You guys are on my mind.
The cameras seemed to fly through the camp where Ryan, Cody, Beardo, Bridgette and Ezekiel were sitting on some rocks talking strategy, while Gwen watched them from a distance and not too far away Duncan, Cameron, Zoey, Dave, Sky and Mike were doing the same, but a silhouette of Anne Maria could be seen in the distance.
You asked me what I wanted to be
Amy and Sammy were battling it out on the row boat which then promptly fell over the waterfall, which showed a scared Cameron attempting to cross until the log plummeted below him.
And now I think the answer is plain to see,
Then the camera zoomed over to the beach to see the BFFL alliance hugging with an angry Jo and a disappointed Amy staring at them.
I wanna be famous.
Then the camera switches to Bridgette and Geoff having their backs turned with anger in their eyes with Topher egging them on, but Geoff then stares over to where Sammy is and his face turns from a bit of discomfort to a bit of happiness.
I wanna live close to the sun,
The scene then switches to Duncan and Courtney exchanging harsh words and waving their arms around, while Sky is trying to make up with Dave but Dave stops her and wraps his arms around her in a hug.
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
It was at this point the scene showed a shadowy character speaking to Chris.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
Rodney was failing miserably to ask out Eva who promptly punched him.
I'll get there one day.
Sam was goofing off in the VR room while Dakota watched amicably.
Cause, I wanna be famous!
Then the scene switches to Dawn and Jasmine chasing down Scott by the cabins, before he falls into a trap set by B who was hiding behind some bushes, then the three give each other multiple high fives while Scarlett stared angrily in the distance.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
Then it switches to the campfire where you can see everyone there and see Geoff and Ryan giving an awkward fist bump, while a wary Gwen watches the pair.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
It was at this point all of the eliminated campers were shown fading away from the campfire scene, resembling that they have been eliminated.
With the saboteur and Chris in a non disclosable location.
"Once again two choices, you can either have the winning team join the vote tonight or have the votes aired tonight," Chris announced.
"I think the winning team deserves an extra reward Chris," The saboteur states.
"As always a great choice."
It was another slow morning for the campers. Many were still waking up and groggily making their way to the Mess Hall. Despite this the Giraffes who have had tension building ever since Topher's elimination were talking strategy with each other. Who to eliminate? Who to keep?
"Cody, wait up," Gwen called out to the tech geek.
"What's up Gwen?"
"I just wanted to talk to you about something."
"Sure," Cody replied, leading her away from the main cabins. 'What is it you need to talk to me about?"
"It's about Ryan, I don't trust him. He reminds me of Alejandro on World Tour, mysterious, likable, and a threat," Gwen explained as Cody's eyebrows raised at Gwen's revelation.
"I assume you're asking me to vote for him come a possible elimination?" Cody presumed
"Yes. Can I count on your vote?"
"Yes, of course Gwen. Ryan will be next to go."
Confessional, Cody
Yeah, like I'd definitely vote out my alliance mate. We may be friends but your days of thinking that I'm attracted to you are over.
As many of the Giraffes had already left for breakfast, a few stragglers were still emptying out of the cabin. Ryan and Bridgette both hesitated as they stepped out of their respective sides before it was clear that both Gwen and Trent were out of earshot.
"Hey Bridgette," Ryan said, waving to the surfer.
"Oh hey Ryan, I thought you'd already be at the Mess Hall," Bridgette replied, waving back to her alliance mate.
"Yeah I had a late start this morning," Ryan chuckled. He rubbed at his eyes briefly and caught the briefest stare from Bridgette. "But, I've been meaning to tell you this, but when Zeke was still on the team he overheard Gwen talking to Geoff about eliminating myself."
"That would explain a few things. She's been giving me these warnings about you being the next Alejandro," Bridgette recalled. "Kind of unfounded if you ask me."
"That doesn't surprise me. My guess is that she has Trent and Geoff. She'll probably try to make Cody vote with her after she couldn't convince you. Then maybe go after Sadie and Katie for insurance," Ryan guessed.
"That's what I would do," Bridgette said, as the pair walked into the Mess Hall.
"Which is why I'm going to beat her to it. But can I ensure your vote against either Trent or Gwen if we lose?"
"I'll vote for Trent. But I won't eliminate Gwen. I think I can talk some sense into her," Bridgette agreed.
Confessional, Bridgette
I know Gwen is looking out for me. That's why I'm going for Trent. She does have a point about distractions, but that's neither here nor there."
"Cool, let's hope it all works out." With a parting wave they headed over to their friends in the mess hall.
As campers strolled in for a morning breakfast. Duncan and Courtney were discussing last night's events following their confessions of mistakes that were made.
"So…" Duncan began. The two of them awkwardly prodded at their breakfast with some forks. The two shared fleeting glances that would only extend as breakfast went on.
"Duncan… let's not rush into anything this season," Courtney stated. The silence resumed as she took a sip of some rather hot water and sunk her teeth into a piece of toast.
"Yeah… maybe we should wait until after the season is over to… you know," Duncan offered timidly. Again, the two of them looked at each other with a bit of hesitation before a loud sigh came from both. "This stupid season isn't helping things."
"Yeah, but we can still work together right?"
"Yeah. Princess, let's make sure we don't lose again. Cause I don't want either of us to go too soon."
'It's not like we won't see each other again… but yeah, let's make sure it's us two in the finale," Courtney agreed.
Confessional Duncan/Courtney
YES! YES! YES I can salvage my relationship with him/her
"Hey guys. How are you guys liking the team?" Ryan asked the BFFLs sitting down next to them.
"OMG it's so much better than the Rabbits. Less villain and a lot of nice people," Sadie said ecstatically.
"So true Sadie. But we do miss Sammy and Ella some. But we do love this team. And you guys haven't lost in a while so it's an extra bonus," Katie chimed in.
"Well that's great to hear. But I wanted to talk to you guys on the possibility of if we lose who'd you guys vote for?"
"Well I for one want to vote out Gwen for what happened in Action. What she did to Trent was SO not cool," Sadie informed.
"Totally Sadie."
"Cool, that's who a lot of us were going to vote for in the hopefully unlikely case that we lose," Ryan stated, smiling at the pair before getting up to sit with Cody and Bridgette.
Confessional, Katie/Sadie
Sadie: OMG Katie a hot guy is going to vote with us tonight
Katie: I know right? We are doing so well right now.
"Campers I'm sorry… not really-but you're missing breakfast today as we need to get this challenge going," Chris announced through his notorious megaphone which was met with a multitude of groans from the campers. "Please head to the VR Lab to receive your challenge."
After the campers had all arrived Chris began his challenge monologue. "Okay dear campers. We've got it at full capacity today, so let's get going! The generators can only last for so long," Chris said. "Today's challenge is bound to be a fan favorite, and maybe even a contestant favorite."
"As if," Scott sneered, earning a quick elbow to the ribs from Leshawna.
"Well today, the house up on the hill is hiding a deep dark secret! One of our eliminated contestants is the mastermind of the diabolical schemes going on! Figure out who are the people behind the masks and find out just who is the mastermind doing all of this!" Chris flipped through the reset of the speech and turned it upside down. "That's it? No mention of what's in store?"
An intern walked up to Chris and added some more portions to the speech. "Jinkies!"
"I guess we'll have to figure out what's going on," Cody said to his team. A wave of agreement spread through the cast and they all got into the virtual reality headsets.
Confessional, Chris
These campers grow up so fast! Now they know to get into their place!
From the world of reality the campers all woke up on the grounds of the house on the haunted hill. "So, what exactly are we supposed to do?" Bridgette asked no one in particular.
The campers all looked around before the door to the mansion opened ominously, causing a flock of bats to all fly out, screeching and baring their fangs at the contestants. DJ fainted dead away. "I got him," both Jo and Jasmine said. The two looked at each other contemptuously before Jo took DJ by the legs and Jasmine took DJ by his upper body.
"In there," Sammy said, brushing up against her boyfriend involuntarily.
"Why do we have to go together?" Courtney asked.
"Do you see any other places to go? Leshawna sniped.
The contestants all meandered up the walk, spooked by the occasional fog and thunder that rolled in from the expansive grounds, but all made it up intact. "And It looks like Chris made this place bigger on the inside," Heather noted.
"How else would it be?" Ryan said.
"Ay, no es necesario hablarte," Alejandro said dismissively. "Come on Heather, conejitos, let's solve this mystery."
"Right," Brick said, looking into the darkness. "Let's split up and look for clues."
A look of realization dawned on the teens as the lights in the house slowly turned on.

And I love it!
A voice rang through the hall as all the contestants put their hands to their ears. "FINALLY!" Chris shouted. "Do you guys not like Scooby-Doo?"
A medley of disagreement and agreement as several of the campers all debated the individual members of the cast. "You'll have to find out which of our eliminated contestants are the monsters. And you'll have to figure out who is controlling them!"
"Sounds good enough, let's go gang," Gwen said, turning to the Giraffes. They went down a hall into a rather ornate hallway.
"If they're going that way let's head up," Brick recommended. He led his Birds up the stairs to the second floor landing and there they split up. The Rabbits ventured down the main hallway as they parted ways with the Doves and the Horses.
"Why don't we go outside?" Courtney recommended. "The grounds look big enough to scrounge around. Cameron what do you think? Cameron?"
The horses looked around for Cameron's red hoodie and saw a glimpse of it disappear to an eastern, dilapidated hall. "Ah jeez," Dave moaned. "But we have to go after him, right?'
"Looks like it," Sky grumbled. "Let's go, everyone."
"Okay mates, looks like we're free to see the- where's Dawn?" Jasmine asked.
The four of them looked around but they couldn't see hide nor hair of the pixie princess. "You head left, I head right, B goes up and DJ-" Jo's bossing was cut off as a freak bit of thunder rocked the house. The Brickhouse ran through the halls, screaming his head off, faster than any one of them could chase. "...I guess I'll find that coward," Jo grumbled.
Confessional, Jo
I'm fairly sure DJ is going next. What good is a jock if they aren't brave?
Down the hallway, Gwen looked into a rather opulent room. Heads of wild animals lined the walls and a rifle was clear in the middle. The group dispersed in the trophy room, Ryan leaning on a bookcase, Katie and Sadie and Bridgette covering their eyes, while Gwen and Geoff investigated just outside the room. "Okay Geoff, let's just stick together," Gwen said. The two creeped into the hallway and checked out another room.
"Aw Sweet," Cody said. "The models on this are great! You can almost feel the fur on them!"
His fellow team members looked at Cody's fixation with an alligator pelt. "Codester this place is pretty big," Trent said as he put a hand on Cody's shoulder. "Let's head off and-"
While Ryan leaned on a bookcase, he felt a sudden shift under him. With a yell he fell through a trapdoor that spawned just below him. "Ryan?" Sadie asked. As she looked at the bookcase curiously Katie investigated the face of a rather lupine trophy. Sadie turned around and saw the wolf head blink. "KATIE LOOK OUT!"
The head Katie was investigating suddenly growled and clamped down, mere milliseconds after Katie leaped back. From the wall the wolfhead revealed a muscular, furry body that howled in pain and The girl screamed into the arms of her best friend and the two of them fled into the mansion. Cody, Trent, and Bridgette alone with the wolf in a seemingly dead end room, ran over to the bookshelf and began pulling books off as the werewolf slowly but surely encroached on them.
The bookshelf suddenly spun and Trent and Bridgette were flung to a luxurious hallway. "That was close," Bridgette said, out of breath.
"I'll say," Trent said. "Wait, where's Cody?"
On the other side of the bookshelf Cody had slipped under the werewolf's legs and was screaming down the hall. The werewolf tore at the bookshelf to no avail.
Confessional, Bridgette
Sticking together didn't last long I guess. I feel bad for Ryan, and for that matter Cody. Where could they be?
Outside the grounds the Horses had discovered a small dock and boat house. "Well," Duncan said, rolling up his sleeves. "Red, Courtney, do you wanna check it out?"
"But isn't it better if we stick together?" Cameron asked hesitantly.
"It's just a boathouse," Courtney said indignantly. "How bad can it be?"
Confessional, Courtney
hOW BaD cAN IT be?! Stupid big mouth!
"Okay, I'll go with Cameron, Sky, and Dave then," Mike said rather worriedly. The foursome went up closer to the house as Zoey, Courtney, and Duncan all went down to the boathouse.
"If only we had flashlights," Zoey bemoaned. The three of them skirted the depths of the floor that opened to the waters below. Several small rowboats were hung up on the side and Duncan swore he felt something tap his back. As he turned, it was just a fishing net. Courtney passed by some old diving equipment and several hissing oxygen tanks.
"There's nothing in here," Courtney said, tripping over a book. The two helplessly watched as Courtney fell into the open water with a splash. Angrily, the lawyer bobbed up and down as three figures looked at her.
"Umm," she said hesitantly, pointing to the right.
Duncan looked at Zoey and shrugged. The redhead slowly stammered and pointed at the glowing green figure of an old time diving suit that started to breathe heavily. The echoes of a scream deeply reverberated through the boathouse as Duncan and Zoey both fled, Captain Cutler hot on their heels.
Confessional, Zoey
For the record I did love Cutler's outfit.
Oblivious to their screams, the foursome investigated a drained out pool deck and surrounding cabanas. Cameron and Mike investigated the floor of the pool as Sky and Dave checked out a rather empty bar. "So," Sky said to Dave. "Did you ever watch Scooby Doo?'
"I don't ever remember a house this big on the show. And I did watch the first three series," Dave said in a mix of pride and embarrassment.
"What monster scared you the most? For me it was the Tar Monster. And I just got really angry at the Witch Doctor. That's cultural appropriation right there! I get that it was made in the 60s but that isn't right!"
"When we meet. the Witch doctor we can scold him," Dave wrly joked as a trapdoor flung open.
The two looked over, scared, until Ryan popped his head out. "Where the fuck am I?" he asked, confused.
The two horses stared at him as he slowly climbed out. The three of them silently glanced at each other as a book fell in Dave's hands. The three looked at it, oblivious to Mike and Cameron screaming as something came out of the drain.
Confessional, Dave
That book held some very interesting information…. And some rather gross photos
With a scream of disgust Sky took the book out of Dave's hands and threw it in the pool. The book hit Cameron in the head before it finally landed in the black bubbly goop of the tar monster. The two climbed out of the pool, screaming bloody murder as they ran into the bar. Carelessly, Mike knocked Ryan back into the trap door as the four ran into the house. Cameron screamed as they realized that the Tar Monster was still on their heels, a vague smell of cabbages into his nose while they all screamed.
"DJ?!" Jo shouted as she went upstairs. "DJ?!"
A staircase fell down from the ceiling just in front of where Jo was. Looking up into what she presumed was the attic, she looked over the railing first to see that Dawn and B were heading off into another corridor. Though the jockette called for them, they turned into a large ballroom and it seemed as though they couldn't hear her.
"Bah! Who needs them?" Jo spat. Annoyed, she climbed the stairs and was suddenly attacked by a horde of bats. Jo climbed the rest of the stairs and went into the conspicuously light attic. She looked around the room to find perfect replicas of their wardrobe, several medieval costumes, and odd tribal wear.
While she investigated the myriad of clothes, a rather heavy mass fell on her. She cursed and spat and pushed the mass off of her. "How'd you end up here?"
DJ pushed himself off of Jo and blinked rapidly. "How'd I end up here?"
The two of them looked at each other blankly before they heard the floorboards creak behind them. Fear in his eyes, DJ jumped up and ran into a moving tribal costume. The witch doctor lost his balance and fell to the floor as Dj jumped out the window.
Cornered by two monsters, Jo looked out the window to see that DJ was running into a separate part of the house. "WAIT FOR ME BRICKHOUSE!" she said, jumping out the window and falling into some stables.
Confessional, Jo
HOW BIG IS THIS HOUSE?! Who needs stables like these?!
Lighting turned his head in disgust as he and the other birds wandered through the laundry room. "Sha-Where the hell are we?" Lightning asked.
"Beats me." Eva opened a door in the laundry room to find a rather modern weight room. Confused, both jocks called their team over and they investigated the rather large room.
"How'd you find this?" Brick asked.
"All I had to do was split from that stupid search method you supposedly employ in the stupid army." Brick bit his tongue as Noah and Leshawna grabbed him by the shoulders to check out the lockers on one side. A roll of thunder caused the lights to go out.
"Okay who's the wise guy?" Scott asked.
"It's just the thunder," Noah rolled his eyes.
"Well when are the lights gonna turn on?" Leshawna said.
"Here, I think I found a switch," Brick said helpfully.
The lights turned on and in the center of them all was a rather skinny but tall figure. The figure fell over and three cycloptic skeletons all stood up in the center. "Eva," Lightning said, eyes worriedly glancing at the girl. "Sha-me thinks that fighting would… would only… make things sha-worse."
The six of them looked at the skeletons in the center before each charged, eliciting an unmanly scream from Brick and the smell of ammonia permeating the room.
Confessional, Brick
Luckily the team only noticed when the skeletons charged.
"Okay, Alejandro you'll check that room with Heather. I'll check this room with Ella. Zeke, Beardo, and Owen can all check out the closets," Sammy said. "We report our findings after this."
"Ah yes, more and more dirt," Heather sneered. "But I guess we'll remain on guard."
"That's the spirit," Ella chirped.
The groups looked at each other and decided to enter simultaneously. Sammy and Ella opened their room to find a rather boring game room. Alejandro and Heather looked into the library they opened with a sigh of boredom. Zeke, Beardo, and Owen opened up their closets to little fanfare. Boredly, they all went in. "Ah mi amor," Alejandro thrilled as they opened a picture frame. In the frame were the eliminated contestants. "Looks like we found the culprits."
"But we haven't found the monsters," Heather countered, flinging books off of the shelves. "There's gotta be a fucking passage here!"
Ella and Sammy took note of the 15 balls on the billiards table just as Ella opened the door of a small dart board. "Nothing important here," she said sadly.
Owen, Beardo, and Zeke wandered into the room with a shrug and opened the closet. "Eh there's nothing here but a pickaxe," Zeke said. Beardo similarly found nothing behind the curtains, and Owen somehow found a small carton of eggs.
The five in the room somehow didn't notice someone taking the pickaxe silently. It wasn't until Ella looked up that she screamed. An ugly man held the pickaxe threateningly and sank it into a dart board. Heather and Alejandro took one look at the miner and ran in the opposite direction, swiftly followed by the rest of their team.
Confessional, Heather
Looks like we found a monster.
Montage Begin: Daydreaming
As the contestants ran through the mansion they were split up and chased with a sense of fear. Duncan and Zoey ran up to the back verandah of the house with Captain Cutler on their heels. The two tried desperately to open the glass door before they both gave up and jumped through the glass walls on either side. Captain Cutler pulled out a key and opened the door, continuing his chase.
Brick and Leshawna ran into a study room and tried to barricade the door with the desk in the room. They strained and were only able to move it with the help of Mr. Hyde. The two looked at each other as Brick jumped out the window and Leshawa broke through one of the walls.
Somehow, DJ had wound up on a horse, and was being chased by the headless horseman through the forest. The horse led him away from the house and DJ breathed a sigh of relief only to be plucked off of the horse by a giant pterodactyl. The horse snickered and was summarily hijacked by the headless horseman.
Courtney climbed out of water in the pond and raced into the house, Creeper hot on her heels. The ten thousand volt ghost appeared just in front of her and gave her a shock. She fell down into an open well just behind her and plummeted, picking herself up as she ran through the catacombs.
Somehow, Owen had found a bountiful feast. As he bit into a giant drumstick, the Cotton Candy monster materialized and shoved the fat boy into his body. The monster smirked at the camera before he saw the fatboy eating him from the inside out. The chase was on and it seemed like Owen was gaining on the hapless monster.
Sammy and Cody, lured into a pantry, thought they were safe. They looked at each other before the miner barged into the pantry. The two ran through a wall and slipped down a vent into the catacombs.
In the great hall, Katie and Sadie ran down a door before appearing out of another door. Confused, they went back through the door they exited, only to bump into Bridgette. The three looked at each other as they were startled by the sudden appearance of a yeti. Screaming, the three girls each ran into a different door, slowly joined by Dave, Alejandro, Lightning, and Dawn, chased by a killer clown, a puppet master, a witch doctor, and an unpronounceable monster. The bodies collided in the center before a ghost farmer wrapped them all up and threw them in a hay bale.
Montage EndChased by their monsters, Brick, Jo, Courtney, Sammy, and Cody all bumped into each other as they took a nasty tumble down the stairs. The staircase opened up and dropped them all into a room, where several monsters were waiting for them.
"Ruh-roh!" Cody said as he scrambled to his feet, avoiding the spread of the Tar Monster.
"Zoinks!" Courtney yelled, ducking a swipe from a haunted miner's pickaxe.
"Jeepers!" cried Brick, rolling out of the way from a pterodactyl.
"Jinkies!" shouted Sammy, spinning around as she avoided the touch of an electric ghost.
"FUCK!" Jo shouted. The other campers and the monsters looked at her strangely. "What? You took all the obvious shout-outs!"
Confessional, Cody
I don't think that's what Fred says.
Brick took the momentary distraction and slammed a lantern onto a floor, causing a blazing inferno to spread between the gang and the monsters. The five of them scampered out a door and tumbled into a basement.
The stark clean office room seemed to have no exits or entries. On top of feeling out of place in the massive, eldritch mansion, several computers were live. "Weird," Sammy and Cody said. The two of them walked to a computer that was currently playing a silent video.
"Oh," Sammy said, curling her lips. She opened the desk that the computer was on to find several files. It took awhile for the VR world to load the files but she was able to see that the monsters chasing them all had motives. The cheerleader looked around the room and found a copy machine.
"Sammy?" Brick asked.
"Just copying some things," Sammy replied. The five in the room were relatively silent as Sammy waited for all of her copies to come out. "Okay, well...here."
The team looked at her strangely as she handed out the pages and pages of information. "Why are you doing this?" Jo asked.
"Because if I tried to flee in this room you'd all sacrifice me to the monsters."
"What monsters?!" Courtney said. "We're all locked in here and there's no way for any of them to get in!"
Cody dropped his head as he looked over the equipment. "Now they're gonna come after us," he moaned.
"Through which entry?" The copy machine whirred to life and the ten thousand volt ghost sent a shock through all of the contestants, blasting open a hole to what looked like an abandoned mine.
Confessional, Jo
'thRoUgh wHAT ENtRY?' for a CIT she sure is DUMB!
Within the hay bale, Dawn was being bumped up against Alejandro and Dave as the haunting farmer carried them through. "This is much inopportune," Dawn grumbled as she found herself pushed on Alejandro's stomach for the sixteenth time.
"Well… cuando estamos aqui, What have you learned dear Dawn?"
"The same things you did," Dawn said. "And I have the same sneaking suspicions as you do."
"Like what?"
"Like how you think that the monster, the one who looks like a robot, actually dubbed the Space Kook in the main show, is Topher."
Alejandro's mouth fell open. "How did you-"
"It's simple Alejandro," she said bluntly. "I didn't. I know how to make a gambit for guesses and I can tell you that you're wrong."
"Pero you didn't even know who the Space Kook was!"
"As a matter of fact, I do," Dawn said. "You know that I know that."
"I know what you know as well as you know what I know," Alejandro retorted.
"But what you know isn't what I know and what I know is that you don't know what I know. And we must stop this conversation because I fear we have reached our final destination."
"No," Alejandro said, grabbing the girl by the scruff of her neck. "All of us but you are gonna go to the final destination."
Taken off guard, Dawn was thrown out of the hay bale into an abandoned store. She hesitated to get up before a shelf fell on her head, knocking her out for the foreseeable future.
Dave looked at Alejandro worriedly in the hay bale, breathing heavily. "You aren't gonna do that to me, are you? Alejandro?"
"I was but we are heading to a rather machinated area soon, so we should be fine," Alejandro explained.
The ghost farmer hoisted the hay bale onto a conveyor belt. The contestants in the bale poked their heads out to see that they were on a saw mill. The campers screamed and ran away from a rapidly approaching saw. "I WISH YOU THREW ME OUT INSTEAD!" Dave said as he stumbled off of the belt, running into a port-a-potty with a camera in it.
Confessional, Dave, from the VR porta potty
Wasn't once just enough?
As Katie and Sadie ran in the opposite direction of the saw, the fatter of the duo tripped over a pile of sawdust. "HELP ME!" she cried.
Katie braved the swinging axes from high up above and bent down to reach her friend. To her shock, a piece of lumber trapped Sadie underneath. As Katie pulled and Sadie pushed, they were knocked off of the belt by another hand. The two breathed heavily before crying and hugging each other profusely. "Thank you so much Katie!" Sadie said.
"That...wasn't me," Katie said to her growing horror. The two looked up to see a monstrous Greek deity howling at them from the belt.
With synchronized screams their feet became pinwheels and sprinted towards the mansion. In the forest, the two bumped into Jasmine, who bumped into Lighting. The four had a moment of confusion before from behind the twins, the greek god raced towards them at a blistering pace.
Confessional, Lightning
Boy am I glad that this ain't a horror movie, or else Sha-Lightning or Sha-Jasmine or Sha-Katie would have died first! Which is so totally undeserved! Look at Sadie! She's fat!
The four of them barreled to the mansion and broke through a wall in their haste to escape the goddess. As they hid behind bookshelves, Lightning and Jasmine took notice of several open books. "I think this is where we are going to solve the problem now," Jasmine wagered.
"Hope so," Lightning said. "Hey, doesn't this Aphrodite look like the lady who was chasing us?"
"Might be," Jasmine said. "Didn't Chris say that it was the eliminated buggers who were chasing after us?"
The two looked at each other briefly before they turned around and saw that a rather witchy doctor was eavesdropping them. Throwing a clumsy punch, the Witch Doctor fell into the desk the two were hunkered behind and scampered out of the library.
Back at the main part of the mansion Cameron was alone, wandering through the halls for Zoey, Duncan, anyone from his team. He knocked on a door hesitantly, opening it to find that the room behind it was entirely dark. "Hello?" he called out warily. No response came as he took a hesitant step forward. He took another step, tripping over a raised part of the floor and falling down.
Finding the wall, Cameron worriedly climbed up, finding what seemed like a knob. "Another door he wondered?"
With a turn of the handle he was instantly greeted with the sounds of a shower turning on and the water dripping down his back. "Nice."
Cameron took a step back and tripped over his feet, sending his glasses flying. In an act of desperation he bent down to his knees and slowly wandered on the floor. "MY GLASSES!" he bemoaned. "I can't see without my glasses!"
Someone tapped his shoulder and the tapper held his glasses in front of him. Graciously, Cameron thanked his assistant only to see that it was another monster. The nerd screamed as fabled christmas legend Krampus snickered crazily with his bag on his shoulder.
Screaming, Cameron bumped into Sky just outside of the bathroom. "KRAMPUS!" he shouted, hugging Sky tightly. "SKY IS IN THERE!"
The athlete took one look at the christmas legend and the two sprinted off. Krampus roared and shook the bathroom. Krampus turned around to see a hapless Ella looking on oddly. The two stared at each other before Ella ran away, holding hands with what looked like a mutant alligator.
Confessional, Ella
What? It's not like Scooby doo made any sense. It was just fun, and that's what I'm having now!
"Let's take a rest here," Leshawna said, looking at her new companion. Zeke pushed his hair behind his toque and the two looked at each other. "So hun, what information did you find?"
"Like… nothing," Zeke said. "The eliminated campers are like the monsters, eh?"
"Yeah," Leshawna breathed. "I think that Lindsay could be the cotton candy monster."
"Which monster was that?"
"The one that looked like cotton candy, eh," Zeke said. The two walked down the hall into what seemed to be a relatively peaceful conservatory. "Do you remember if there was a plant monster? Or a gardener monster, eh?"
"Not that I know of," Leshawna said. "This old booty can't handle much more of this."
"Well," Zeke started, looking at a piece of paper on a misplaced bench. "Hey, these are clues, right?"
Leshawna and Zeke peered over the paper and unfolded it. It was a map of the entire grounds, including several of the town that lie just beyond the place. "It wouldn't have cost Chris much to model this, would it?"
Zeke shrugged. "Spawn point for Captain Cutler… boathouse," Zeke read aloud. He was pointing to where the grounds of the estate hit the rather large lake. "Captain Cutler is someone who wants money."
"So Dakota?" Leshawna asked aloud. Zeke made no reply as he combed the papers for the other monsters and their spawn point. "Wait, The Tar Monster Pool? And then Char Gar Gothakon conservatory?"
Zeke looked where she was pointing and they held the map closer to their faces. As they put the map back down, the thing that had no name appeared right in front of their faces. The two of them screamed and split in separate directions, tearing the map before they reconvened at the hallway. Char Gar Gothakon looked at the two contestants running and jogged off, clearly somewhat bored.
Confessional, Zeke
I wonder if I revealed anything that made Leshawna weirded out eh. I don't get scooby doo. It's fun but it's the same thing every time
Taking a breather, Ryan, Sammy, Lightning, Dawn, and Mike, the last of them sopping wet, met up at a rather large dumbwaiter. "What exactly is this place?" Ryan asked.
"In this reality Chris can exercise his God complex and control us all. I wasn't even supposed to be here until fifteen minutes in my walk," Dawn said. "That's not psychic or anything, I just chose today to wear my watch." She pointed to her wrist and then smiled briefly.
"Well," Lightning said, heading into the dumbwaiter shaft. "Maybe this mini elevator can take us somewhere. Fairy girl can you hold open this door?"
Mike and Ryan leaned over Lightning to hold open the chute for the dumbwaiter as Lightning looked over. "Sha-nothing over here," he said. Sammy and Dawn both looked over Lightning's shoulder as the other boys continued to hold them up. None of them realized that right behind them was a trio of skeletons. With a push, the five of them tumbled down the chute with a loud scream.
Confessional, Mike (sopping wet still)
This was not my challenge… like at all.
Of the five, Mike landed face first into a puddle of oil. He jumped up, checking that he was still alive, before Ryan, Sammy, Lightning, and Dawn, in that order, landed on top of him. "Where are we?" Ryan groaned. "Sorry Mike."
Mike wheezed from the bottom of the pile as the other slowly rolled off of each other. "How big is this place?" Dawn asked.
"Big enough to have what seems like five levels," Sammy said. She was instinctively drawn to a conspicuously shining vault. She put her hand to the iron and listened as the gears tumbled inside. "Five locks and we don't even have one combination."
"No," Dawn said, heading up to the iron, wincing as she stepped closer to it. "We just need five of us to pull apart at the same time."
"Well, we have nothing sha-better to do," Lightning said. "Come on pencil arms."
"I'm coming," Chester griped, cracking his back and gasping. "So what are we doing?"
"Putting our hands on the safe to open it," Sammy explained. "On three," Sammy said once they all placed a hand on the door. "One, two, three."
With startling force the five of them were catapulted clear across the room and the vault opened up to reveal a rather pristine tunnel. "Ladies first?" Ryan suggested.
"It's no big deal!" Dawn said from the other side of the tunnel. "Just crawl through it."
The five did so and found what looked like a police office. Confused, Sammy and Mike both walked forward up to a corkboard with string and pins and photos over there. "Not all monsters are occupied by the eliminated contestants," Mike murmured.
"How'd you figure that?" Ryan asked.
"These threads from the skeletons and from the werewolf thing don't correlate to anyone. Look, here," Mike pointed out. "Mensa flyers to a flash of red."
"And here, Red Beard's family tree?" Sammy questioned. The five of them peered over the board with a sense of bewilderment. Captain Cutler was linked to a rather pristine yacht house owned by -Ton hotels. Several photos of a contestant in red were cut off at the head. A photo of the eiffel tower
"I think the mystery is cracked," Sammy and Mike mused.
"Me too," said an unfamiliar voice. The five of them turned to see Doctor Jekyll put down a set of blueprints for what looked like an underground bunker. Before any of them could react the good doctor transformed before their eyes into a hideous beast. A loud cackle came from him before it turned into a roar.
"Let's get outta here!" Ryan shouted. The five of them went through the bank tunnel and found an exit to a lower part of the house.
Montage 2: It's A Rad Rad World
Leshawna and Ezekiel ran towards the main hallway and ran up the stairs before they fell down a trapdoor. Exiting from the underside of the stairs, Cameron and Sky jumped up onto the chandelier to avoid the claws of a werewolf. The chandelier was sent upwards into the ceiling and the two Horses held on for dear life. Further up the stairs Heather took a spiraling fall down the stairs and collided into Char Gar Gothakon.
The two looked at each other briefly before the chandelier fell down, this time carrying Krampus and a demonic looking deer. Heather fled from the two monsters into a door, where she was promptly shocked by the ten thousand volt ghost.
Lifting up the floorboards, Courtney, Brick, Cody, Jo, and Sammy clutched papers closely to their chest and looked around the great entryway. A new monster seemed to crawl up from the floorboards singing a song of ethereal horror. Momentarily compelled, Jo and Cody both were drawn to the stench that the monster emitted before their momentary allies dragged them away, pursued by Que Horrifico.
DJ, having recovered from a fainting spell, exited a door from the lower floor of the grand entryway with a look of fear. Breathing heavily the brickhouse turned around to see that a ghostly figure was just hovering behind him. He backed up into the silent genius, and the two big boys ran away into an all too familiar hallway.
Back and forth the campers went through doors and windows and out of filing cabinets and wardrobes. To their confusion, even Fang and Chomper had appeared in the chase, alongside what seemed to be a color inverted counterpart of them. The momentary confusion finally ended as the ten thousand volt ghost blew them all into separate rooms
Montage end
DJ and B tiredly looked at each other as they slowly rose from the chairs they were flung into. The two Doves looked at the chaos outside the room. B pointed to his watch and made a rather choking gesture. "It's time to die?" DJ asked.
Shaking his head, B pointed to the hat he usually wore and held up two fingers. As the other campers ran back and forth between the doors, DJ stuck his hand out in hopes that some campers would run into him. The first time, he caught Cody. The second, he caught Fang- who he promptly threw back. The third time Jasmine and Sky both barreled into him. He called it quits the fourth time when the ten thousand volt ghost shocked him six ways to sunday.
The door shut behind them, B pointed to several objects in the drawing room they were in to create a trap.
Confessional, Jasmine
Who'd've thunk that us two men and a dog could create that kind of trap? I must have been bonkers trying to disagree with it!
Outside the hallway, Katie and Sadie were still chasing each other between the doors. "LIKE GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FREAK!" they yelled as they passed each other another time.
In the seemingly endless hallway, B and Cody snuck to the end of the hall, trap equipment in hand. Dodging the blows of the ten-thousand volt ghost, the ghost of Alice May, and what looked like a weird cyclops, the two set up a net that was linked to the main chandelier. Sky ran a rope through the doors of the hallway that was attached to a piece of furniture in the main drawing room. Jasmine stepped out into the hallway and waited for a door to open.
Somehow predicting that most of the monsters would appear when the door would open, Jasmine gave a mighty push and sent several of the monsters tumbling into a tent. As another door opened, Sky pulled back tightly and the monsters tumbled into a net. "THE CHANDELIER!" DJ shouted. Cody ran forward, off of the balcony, and jumped onto the chandelier just as several more monsters came into the main part of the grand entry, hasing several contestants.
As the monsters, contestants, furniture, and tools all collided in the grand building, Cody jumped on the chandelier, dropping it over all of them. B, DJ, Jasmine, and Sky all threw the monsters from upstairs downstairs and rescued Katie and Sadie from their eternal marathon through the hallway. Chris' annoying voice appeared on the intercom and the contestants all looked around. "You all never fail with this VR fun! Now that the fun is over let's go over the denouement!"
Confessional, Cameron
Who's gonna be the one to tell him that he pronounced it wrong? It's den-oo-mwah not de-noo-ment.
The cast all met in a massive living room of the mansion. Multiple pictures were covered by a sort of cloth and waiting for them was Chris who was prepared to explain their task.
"Now during this period you'll score your points. You'll get a point for every monster correct and five points for guessing the mastermind. This will be first come first serve but if you get one wrong you're done. Now you guys may start whenever."
The campers all talked about the various things they witnessed and realized through the many chase scenes.
"Alright. We think the Werewolf is Topher!" Geoff shouts. Ryan and Gwen both facepalmed, Cody gave a long sigh, Bridgette stared down at her feet in defeat, Trent rubbed two fingers on the bridge of his nose, Sadie and Katie just looked around confused at what was going on.
"Welp… Giraffes you're done for the day. Topher is not the Werewolf," Chris announced. Geoff stared at his feet in shame while Ryan put a hand on his shoulder in a comforting manner.
"I guess we'll go next," Brick states. "Alright so we'll start with Char Gar Gothakon. In the show that he appeared in he went after famous author H.P. Hatecraft. Gothakon is also a very well known and notorious monster in it's own right. Considering our eliminated contestants a few come to mind as fame hungry or famous. Justin, Topher, Anne Maria, Dakota are some that come to mind. However Justin wouldn't be caught dead in that, nothing really pointed to Dakota, and Anne Maria we believe to be someone else. Leaving us with Topher as Char Gar Gothakon," Bricks explains. A picture of Topher was then revealed as a cloth was pulled away by… well nothing.
"Now moving onto Que Horrifico," Noah began. "Horrifico, is a monster of latin origin from the looks of the mask. During the late twentieth century latins, italians, etcetera migrated to New York which is close to New Jersey. Only one person that's been eliminated is from or imitates Jersey people. Anne Maria is Que Horrifico," Noah states, in response the picture of Anne Maria was revealed.
"Moving along, the Headless Horror," Leshawna begins. "If I had to guess based on the pattern so far each of these monsters are related to the contestant in some way. This one is probably a cruel joke by Chris saying this person is an idiot or clumsy because they don't have a head. Lindsay, Tyler and Max immediately come to mind. However Max isn't clumsy and the Headless Horror is most likely a male so we think it's Tyler," Leshawna explains, as a picture of Tyler is revealed.
"Now in the early stages of this show culture awareness wasn't really a thing, which led to the birth of the Witch Doctor," Eva began. "I don't think anyone would want to be caught dead in that, but a Witch Doctor is generally evil and crazy. Max and Scarlett both come to mind but they're probably something else. This does seem like a Harold thing to do but after World Tour and Japan it most likely isn't leaving Leonard as the only one crazy enough to do this," Eva finished as the cloth hiding Leonard's photo fell.
"Finally the mastermind. It has to be someone calculated, inherently a villain, and likes to hide in the shadows. I don't know about you but Scarlett seems like the best person to be the mastermind," Scott sneered.
"Wrong, Scarlett is not the mastermind. Birds you can no longer answer, however you're not voting anyone out tonight."
"Rats," Scott shouted.
"Well I guess we'll go," Zoey says. "For our first guess we'll go with Red Beard. Red Beard a classic villain and one from an older age or time said something along the lines of 'My descendents will be angry' now only one person talks about their ancestors or descendents obsessively and that would be Staci," Zoey explains as a picture of Staci was revealed.
"For the Puppet Master, a more controlling villain," Cameron begins. "Only a few campers qualify as controlling based on their past actions, Justin, Sierra, and Amy. A puppet master controls puppets, Amy and Sierra only try to control one person while Justin uses his looks to control multiple girls in Action. So therefore Justin is the Puppet Master." The picture of the model then revealed itself showing that the Horses were correct.
"Now the Ghost of Alice May in the show was someone who wanted Fred to be their prom date and to hurt the gang for putting her father in jail," Mike explained. "Out of all the eliminated contestants only one person has a massive crush on someone and would do anything for them. Along with that would take revenge on anyone who would hurt her Codykins. Sierra is the Ghost of Alice May." Sierra's portrait was then revealed showing the blogger.
"The Pterodactyl. Only one clue really points to anyone of the eliminated players, that being a Mensa Receipt from the monster showing that they aced the test," Duncan explained. "Only Scarlett and Izzy fit that description, however in Island Izzy said she had a fear of flying so it would lead you to believe it's Scarlett. But it's not as in World Tour Izzy isn't afraid of flying. Meaning Izzy is most likely the culprit behind the Pterodactyl." And yet another correct answer as Izzy's crazed face was revealed.
"Jekyll and Hyde is an interesting one," Courtney began. "You'd think that as someone with two different personalities it could be Scarlett, Izzy, maybe Sugar. But we already know that Izzy is the Pterodactyl. Along with that we found bunker blueprints in their lair. I doubt Sugar would care much for blueprints and Scarlett most likely wouldn't care for a bunker. However our resident zombie man Shawn would. So Shawn is our culprit." Shawn was then revealed, his eyes almost giving a death glare to Scott.
"Moving on to Aphrodite," Sky started. "She's the goddess of beauty despite her look. Most likely it's someone of beauty or who has a desire for beauty. Those being Dakota, Amy, Anne Maria, Beth, and Lindsay. Anne Maria is already confirmed to be someone else. And we have our suspicions on Dakota. However there was a postcard from France in their lair. Beth and Lindsay visited France following Action. So we think that Lindsay is Aphrodite."
"WRONG! However, with five right you take the lead and won't be facing elimination tonight," Chris stated.
"Hmm, well if Lindsay isn't Aphrodite then obviously Beth is," Jo said, revealing the Beth portrait proving her right.
"Anyhow mates. The Space Kook," Jasmine began. "Now we know Scarlett isn't the mastermind so she has to be the monster. The only people left are her, Rodney, Amy, Max, Harold, Sugar, Dakota, and Max. One has to be the mastermind. So keeping in mind our villains the Space Kook is by far one of the smarter or alien villains as they have a spaceship. Of our eliminated contestants only Scarlett, Harold, and Max may qualify as smart enough and imaginative enough to pull the Space Kook off. But our final answer is Scarlett as this is the only villain left to fit her profile." Following the brilliant deduction Scarlett's portrait was revealed.
"Now moving onto the mastermind, our hunch is that Max finally gets his big break and is finally 'evil' so Max is our final answer," Jo says with some odd looks from her teammates as no cloth fell.
"No, Max is not our mastermind meaning the Rabbits need to get six points to win or one point to be safe," Chris states to the cast.
Sammy stepped forward and stood in the center of the cast, looking at the portraits and the so-called 'monsters' equally. "Right, it all comes down to us… so here goes…"
"The creeper is Rodney, he doesn't speak that well in front of girls, so that's why none of us girls figured that out, but that's how Owen figured it out. The creeper was hunting for a paper… a photo… and the person who was in most contact with the photo was me." Two dings resonated as the portrait of the creeper slowly turned to Rodney's dopey face.
"Okay, the reason why the pool was so weird was that it was part of the Tar Monster. I don't remember much about that villain but the motive we figured out was that it was someone hunting for riches. A tiara maybe. Which is why we found the tiara right next to the pool. The Tar Monster is in fact, Sugar!" Another two dings came from an indescernable source and then the Tar Monster's portrait turned into a familiar Craptry 'star'.
"Two more to go and we're in first place," Sammy muttered, sparing a glance helplessly to Geoff.
"Right, next… I believe the next ghost of Captain Cutler is easiest. He came out of a moat. The moat. The moat… someone who loves the water… I remember Captain Cutler liked the water because he wanted to take yachts. The only eliminated contestant with a taste of Yachts, and we found a map of North Dakota in Captain Cutler's hide out… it was DAKOTA!" A selfie of Dakota summarily took the place of the haunted Captain's mask.
"Okay, next up, it was… hmm…" The cheerleader looked around the portraits. The Pterodactyl, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Redbeard were taken by the Horses. If they were to quit now they'd be tied with the Horses, but knowing Chris he'd go for the team that got it the fastest. They were safer than the Doves, the Giraffes, and the Birds. The Birds had only gotten two, Char Gar Gothakon and Que Horrifico while the Doves had unmasked a Demon Shark and the Spooky Space Kook.
Confessional, Sammy
I need to win because I know Alejandro's hold is tightening! And if I don't I don't think I'll be able to help Geoff to the point I want to!
"The mastermind…" Sammy said thoughtfully. "The mastermind, you would think, is Scarlett, but she's been established to be the Space Kook. I'm willing to bet that it's not Max either. The mastermind gave the motivation of wanting to go shopping… and the only people who go shopping a lot are my sister, Lindsay, Beth, and Dakota. I am one hundred percent sure that Beth is Aphrodite. The mastermind is vulgar too. The only one vulgar enough to be the mastermind and who is eliminated is Lindsay."
The cast looked at her for a brief moment and all broke out in laughter. As Sammy blushed, embarrassed, a pedestal containing Chris and a handcuffed Lindsay lowered into the center.
"Congratulations Sammy and the Rabbits! You won the challenge and immunity! You also get to go in the reward of voting out one of the hapless Giraffes!" Chris announced. The campers all groaned as Lindsay looked at them all confused. All of a sudden they were taken out of the virtual world, rather tired from the virtual day out in the mansion.
Confessional, Lindsay
Shari was right! I can curse!
(There is no censor bleep long enough for the tirade of profanity that Lindsay unleashes. God help the editors)
"Well Giraffes I shall be seeing you at the vote tonight. And Rabbits you all will be voting within the next couple hours before the ceremony as you all will not be attending," Chris said as the contestants came out of VR. "I shall see you all tonight," Chris said, walking off to who knows where.
Confessional, Ryan
This is going to be an extremely crazy night tonight. Hopefully it all works out.
The Giraffes were scrambling looking for votes. Especially the likes of Trent as he knew that he and Gwen could go tonight and he knew that he had to send votes to a second person other than Ryan. Trent figured that he had Sadie and Katie's sympathy from Season Two so he wanted to use that to his advantage. The duo were sitting in the Mess Hall together when Trent had finally found them.
"Hey, Sadie, Katie can I talk to you guys about the vote tonight?"
"Of course Trent," Katie said in response
"Look, I wanted to see if you guys were willing to vote Cody tonight."
"Of course Trent, after Action you deserve another shot," Sadie replied, agreeing to the plan.
"Thanks guys I appreciate it," Trent said walking off to go find Gwen.
Confessional, Trent
I know Cody and I are in the Drama Brothers together but I don't want to screw over Geoff for voting with us. And it's going to be harder to find votes for Bridgette over Cody.
Confessional Sadie/Katie
Sadie: I know we said we'd vote with Ryan
Katie: But, Trent deserves our votes more after what Gwen did to him in Action.
Sadie: I totally agree.
"Owen, I need to talk to you about the vote tonight," Gwen said, jogging over the jolly fat man.
"Hey Gwen. Yeah sure what's up?"
"I was wondering if you could vote off Ryan tonight. He's giving me some Alejandro vibes."
"Really? He seems nice enough," Owen said scratching his chin
"That's his game. I think it may be best for everyone if he goes tonight."
"I mean I guess. He is the new guy so maybe it would be best for him to go," Owen said scratching the back of his head
"My thoughts exactly Owen. I appreciate your generosity. Hope to see you again soon big man," Gwen said waving to him as she began her walk to the ceremony.
"It's no problem Gwen."
Confessional, Gwen
Trent's working on those twins to vote out Cody. So I need to ensure we have the votes on Ryan which with Owen we should. But it's a double tonight so one of us may be gone tonight but maybe we can pull something off.
"Well we have an interesting vote tonight," Sammy says to Ella as the duo lays in their respective beds.
"Yeah. Who do we vote for?" Ella asked.
"I honestly think Trent. I have a hunch that he may be the saboteur. He's playing way too low key to not be a suspect," Sammy suggested.
"I don't know. Maybe we vote Gwen. She's a former finalist and she seems to be a bit off. Maybe she should go instead," Ella suggested.
"It is a double elimination tonight. Let's split our votes as we don't have much stake in this ceremony. And I don't think Sadie or Katie are in danger tonight so we should be fine," Sammy decided.
"Alright let's do it," Ella agreed with her cohort.
Confessional, Sammy
The buzz around camp is that despite Geoff's mess up in the challenge it was always going to be between Gwen, Trent, and Ryan on who would go so Geoff should be safe tonight.
"Alejandro I know you feel Ryan is the better choice but I want Gwen gone," Heather sternley stated to her lover.
The pair were on their way to vote for tonight's vote and they were still deciding who to vote off. Needless to say the two villains were not in agreement.
"Ah mi amor, but Ryan is the greater threat."
"Alejandro there's thirty-three players left, there will be thirty-one after this vote. We'll have plenty of time to get Ryan eliminated but let's eliminate Gwen while she's down so she doesn't become a pest later on," Heather reasoned.
"Alright mi amor. But Ryan is gone next if we get the opportunity, si?"
"Of course Al," Heather said, walking off leaving Alejandro behind twitching slightly.
Confessional, Alejandro
(breathes deeply) SHE KNOWS I HATE ESO NOMBRE MALDITA!
"So… Gwen tonight right eh," Ezekiel reaffirmed.
"It's a double tonight so we'll have to allocate votes elsewhere," Cody mentioned.
"Bridgette said she's voting Trent, I can only assume Heather and Alejandro are voting Gwen. Sadie and Katie say they're voting Gwen but I don't know with them. I think it's best that Cody and I go Gwen and you guys go Trent," Ryan said guestering to Ezekiel and Beardo.
"That makes sense. Let's hope for the best," Beardo mused.
"Yeah. I'm just hoping we got enough votes to Trent and Gwen to save us from elimination tonight," Cody sighed.
"Everything will be alright eh."
"Hopefully Zeke… hopefully."
Elimination Ceremony
"Well well well. Giraffes I haven't seen you in a while and yet your eliminations always seem to be the most dramatic. Who will you guys eliminate this time? Along with the sabotage of some extra votes from the Rabbits this may lead to the most shocking elimination yet," Chris monologues.
"Now if you don't receive a marshmallow you'll join your previous losers at the Playa de Losers." Chris announced
"First safe with no votes is…"
"Sadie"
"Katie"
"Bridgette"
"Geoff"
The group of four went up and each took a marshmallow from the plate all smiling to themselves with another week of safety. Leaving the remaining four in their seats. Ryan seemed calm, Cody was extremely nervous, Trent and Gwen were shooting each other a lot of side glances, worry clearly written on their faces.
"Each of you received some votes tonight. However one of you only got two votes… Cody my man you're safe," Chris stated tossing a marshmallow to the tech geek.
"Now sadly we'll be having a tiebreaker tonight. However one of you did get the majority of the votes. Gwen… You'll be in the tiebreaker with…. Ryan. Trent sorry dude you are eliminated but you'll be staying to see who loses this competition," Chris states earning some sighs of relief from Gwen and Ryan however some others suddenly became very nervous especially Bridgette.
Confessional, Bridgette
I was hoping by some miracle they could both stay, I just hope Chris doesn't make us choose who to support.
"The two that are competing will be given a platform to stand on. Each person here will choose who's platform they want to shrink. Each platform is about two feet wide and two feet long. Each person can take away three inches worth of space. After each person has selected who they want to support I'll begin the challenge. The person who manages to stay up the longest gets to stay," Chris explained.
"Now Gwen and Ryan please stand on each of those platforms." Pointing to a set of metal squares that as Chris described were about two feet wide and two feet long.
'Now I'll ask each of you to pick someone to 'sabotage' so to speak. Now Sadie and Katie you guys go first," Chris explained.
"OMG after what Gwen did to Trent in Action she for sure needs to be sabotaged," Sadie said for the pair to the surprise of no one.
"Cody, who do you choose?"
"You know Chris I've become friends with some people I never thought I'd call friends thanks to Ryan. However I can't say the same for Gwen so my vote goes to her to be sabotaged," Cody explained. To the shock of many who thought he was still head over heels for her, but clearly that was no longer the case.
"Geoff, who will you be voting for?"
Geoff sat there head down clearly unsure who to vote for. Gwen a long time friend or Ryan who's been a help to him this whole season. He was torn yeah he voted for Ryan but now he regretted that decision.
"Come on Geoff the choice is obvious. Do you really want Aleryan to survive," Gwen shouted. Earning many harsh glances her way.
"Geoff this is your decision, make the one that you think helps you," Ryan spoke.
Geoff without so much as a word pointed to Ryan indicating his choice as he continued to stare down at his sandals.
"And lastly Bridgette who will you be voting for?"
"I'm completely torn between both two really close friends… but, Gwen toying with Geoff's emotions, that's not cool so my vote goes to Gwen," Bridgette said a tear slowly appearing on her face.
"Well it appears Gwen will only be granted a foot of room while Ryan is granted almost two feet but not quite," Chris narrated as the pair stood on each of their respective platforms as they rose up in the air.
"Now we know that this challenge is going to take a VERY long time; we'll provide some dodgeballs for each of you to throw at them. You each get one so use them well." Chris explained tossing each Giraffe a ball.
Sadie and Katie both immediately threw their balls at Gwen. Sadie's going wide right while Katie's was easily batted away by Gwen. Bridgette and Cody both opted to hold on to their balls while Geoff let his ball fall to his feet.
The pair stood on their platform for minutes on end. Ryan seemed ok and Gwen looked fine but standing on such a small platform was going to take its toll. One slip up and she was gone. Bridgette and Cody both looked at each other. A silent agreement playing in their heads. Cody rubbing the ball on his shirt like he did in the season one dodgeball challenge while Bridgette threw her ball. Gwen was able to deflect that ball but Cody's heatseeker hit Gwen from behind. It almost knocked her off but she remained standing albeit extremely wobbly.
"Geoff," Cody said. "Look I know you want to further yourself in this game and perhaps Gwen said that Ryan going was beneficial for everyone here. But think about it. Ryan has been nothing but nice to you man. It's your decision but I plead with you to use your ball on her," Cody pleaded to the party boy.
"Cody… bro. I've been torn over this vote all night but… I think it's time I right my wrongs and make this right," Geoff said solemnly. Gaining confidence with each word spoken.
Geoff picked up his ball and hurled it at Gwen sending her off the platform officially eliminating her from the competition. "Well, it looks like Ryan lives to fight another day while another former finalist bites the dust," Chris narrates as Ryan's platform lowers.
Trent walked over to Gwen and helped her up to her feet. "Well I guess that means we're done."
"Yeah I guess," Gwen replied as Ryan walked over to her.
"Good game. I really thought I was going home there over you," Ryan said extending his hand for a hand shake.
"You to Ryan," Gwen said, stealing a side glance at Bridgette before continuing. "She's in to you so don't fuck it up alright."
"I'll do what I can to not turn into Aleryan alright," Ryan chuckled
Gwen smiled before saying, "Alright but if you do turn into Aleryan I will hunt you down, got it?"
"Loud and clear."
"Now I think your team wants to congratulate you," Gwen smirked before waving to her former teammates along with Trent before boarding the Boat of Losers in a solemn manner.
Confessional, Ryan
Man that was intense. It sucks to see them go but it had to be done. I do like Bridgette but I've never been in or have wanted to be in a relationship because all the girls at my school were attention whores. But Bridgette just seems different. Maybe after the competition.
Confessional, Saboteur
Gwen and Ryan would have been more ideal but Trent going isn't bad either. But one by one they will all fall.
"And after that haunted episode we've eliminated two more players for the million. Ryan lives to fight another day and will he ever make a move on Bridgette. Will I ever shuffle the teams. And will the saboteur ever reveal themselves. You'll have to find out on the next episode of Total Drama Island Revived."
Votes
Ryan: I'm hoping I have the votes but hopefully it's Gwen and Trent that goes here over me. I vote Gwen
Cody: Just to reiterate, I know we're friends and all, but I've got to stick with the first person I made a deal with. I hate to do this Gwen, I hope we're still friends after this.
Bridgette: I'm sorry Trent but you're really the only person left that I can vote for.
Gwen: You're by far the biggest threat on this team. You're causing shake ups in the team and eventually you'll become a volcano! You've taken Bridgette but the rest of us aren't going down without a fight.
Trent: Yeah…. Ryan you're a good guy and all… but you need to go
Sadie/Katie: After Trent got screwed over by Gwen, we'll do whatever he says so we vote Cody. THAT POOR HOT GUY!
Geoff: Sorry bro but Gwen raises a good point and I don't want Bridgette to fall into a trap with you. You gotta go Ryan. I hope we're still friends and chill after this.
Alejandro: I think Ryan may be the better option but mi amor is set on eliminating Gwen
Heather: Finally we can make things right in the world! Weird Goth Girl, finally it's time you know your place.
Ezekiel: Sorry Trent. But I need Ryan to stay and you need to go. Could be worse, eh.
Beardo: Love your music man, but you gotta go. Nothing personal, it's just a game.
Sammy: I personally think he's the saboteur he's playing so low key that you forget about him sometimes. Sorry Trent.
Ella: I don't want to vote anyone off but... game wise I think Gwen going may very well be for the best
Owen: Sorry man I don't know you all that well. Ryan, I wish I got to know you a bit more man.

Nobody245: Oh boy you must be so confused right now. Trent's gone so I assume Noah or Ryan is now your main guesses so we'll see how your guesses hold up. As for Gwen's now former suspicion of Ryan, she felt that he was acting or playing similar to Alejandro. He appeared to have Bridgette, Zeke, Beardo, Cody, Sadie, and Katie wrapped around his finger, however that isn't the case. He's just a smart player with no ulterior motive. However it's clear he'll have to do some damage control with Bridgette here soon so we'll see who that works out.
Bridgekiel: I did consider giving them the boot but I felt I could do more with them and I wanted to show Alejandro still had some manipulative prowess meaning Justin had to go as Owen is still useful to Alejandro and Alejandro feels the other 2 are more manipulative or so he thinks.
UnchartedHollow: i'm glad you're enjoying it and I hope you keep reading.
Gason Jace: i'm glad you're enjoying the story. Eva getting more screen time is just in correspondence to her shrinking team so she's bound to get more screen time. I mean if we take a character like B who's been getting a lot of screen time lately and he's still around so screen time isn't always a direct correlation. Oh don't worry everyone will be scrambling soon. Well you're right the Giraffes did lose and Trent AND Gwen went so there's that. We'll see how Bridgette and Ryan interact after this. Hope you keep reading.
Insertnamehere: I'm glad you enjoy Sadie and Katie. We really wanted to make them key characters in this story because of how generally neglected they are.
NicholasFlamelFan: With so many characters I get where you're coming from but hey a challenge is a challenge hope you keep going.
Lil Oddy: I get your point here. Ryan comes off as a bit of a Stu early however I wanted to give him the early spotlight so I can let him sit in the back seat later. His flaws will be revealed in due time don't worry.
