"Welcome, everyone to the special episode of Total Drama: Dungeon Hunters!" Chris exclaimed with his trademark smile. "If you all remembered last episode, Lucette of the Diamond Dusk Wolves and Ginger of the Golden Dawn Elves decided to shaken up last night's elimination ceremony by playing the one card everyone has access to...The bonus challenge!" A replay of Lucette and Ginger declaring to take the challenge was shown.
"However, Lucette was supposed to be last night's eliminated so because of this a new unlucky soul had to take her place." A grim smile was soon formed on the host's face. "Janet was the one unfortunate enough to receive the second most votes thus causing her untimely elimination." A replay of Janet leaving with Chris was shown. The camera started to slowly zoom in on Chris.
"Will the two be successful in their challenge? Will they both fail and be the cause of their permanent removal? Or will only one of them succeed while the other loses? Find out now on Total...Drama...Dungeon Hunters!" He spread both hands out dramatically. "But first, a little drama from last night."
~Theme song~
The scene shifted to inside Chris' office. Both Lucette and Ginger were standing in the middle while the host sat on his chair from behind his desk with both arms crossed. Chris just stared at them with a small grin before speaking up.
"So...you two want to take on the challenge, huh?" He said with a raised brow at both of them. "You to do know about the heavy consequence of failure, right?"
"Please, let me do this alone! I don't want Ginger to lose her chance because of me!" Lucette begged.
"Shut it, Lucette! I already told you I'm not letting you do this alone!" Ginger argued back at her.
"But-"
"Quiet! Both of you." Chris said dismissively. Both girls just kept their mouths shut. "Good. I already accepted her request so you have no choice in the matter." The heiress just looked sad after hearing this. "Anyways, as the condition states, I'll be choosing the challenge the two of you will be doing." A devious smile soon formed on his face. "And I say you two will be taking on the mirror challenge." Both girls were shocked to hear this.
"What? You can't be serious? There is no way we can handle that!" Ginger tried to argue. "You have to reconsider!" She pleaded. Chris just let out a soft chuckle.
"That was the deal." He smirked. "Skell, send them back to their cabins." The door to his office soon opened with Skell standing on the other side.
"Let's go." The co-host motioned for them to leave. Ginger, with her fists clenched tightly, just turned around and left.
"Fine. Let's go, Lucette." She said before leaving. Her roommate didn't say anything and followed suit. Skell closed the office door as soon as they were both out.
The scene now cut ahead to both girls silently walking towards their cabin late at night. All the cabin lights were off except for their own who's lights were left on. As the two entered their cabin, they were both greeted with a surprise guest waiting for them inside.
"P-Paris? What are you doing in here?" Ginger questioned. The dancer was just sitting quietly in one of the wooden chairs facing the doorway with her legs crossed.
"Ginger. We need to talk. Privately." Paris gave Lucette a sharp stare. Ginger took in a heavy gulp after hearing this.
"Lucette. Wait outside. Alright?" Ginger told her friend to do so. Lucette just nodded and slowly closed the door on her way out. The heiress soon left with her footsteps slowly receding away. "What do you want?" She now asked when she was sure they were out of ear shot.
"Simple. All you need to do is explain yourself." Paris answered in a soft, even, and ominous sounding tone. Ginger just felt hard-pressed to find an answer.
"Well, um, you see..." Ginger trailed off while thinking over an answer. Her eyes lit up for an idea came to her know. "Its so that we can establish a bigger alliance for merge!" She answered. "Think about it, if Lucette is already safe for merge that's one more vote for us! And if Blake makes it, that's two since they always vote together!" She explained.
"I see." Paris nodded her head in agreement. Ginger felt relieved after seeing this. "Or..." The latter flinched after hearing this. "You could eliminate her now and save us the trouble."
"What!? You can't be serious?" Ginger was shocked about this.
"Why? Can't do it?" Paris asked her in a soft tone. Ginger felt very pressured now.
"N-no its just that my plan and all. You have to reconsider!" Ginger pleaded.
"I did. And I see it as a wasted effort." The dancer answered.
"What about you though? If I pull through with this that'll give me the win by default!" Ginger argued back at her.
"Don't worry. I have my own plans." Paris let out a soft chuckle. She soon got up and walked towards her. "I trust you can do this...Friend." She said to her quietly before walking out. This left Ginger torn on what to do.
(Confessional)
Ginger: I...don't know what to do. On one hand Lucette is a good friend of mine but on the other is my own safety and alliance with Paris. I want to win this competition as much as anyone else but I don't want to do it through severed ties! I just hope the outcome I chose is for the best.
Lucette: Seeing Paris in our cabin and wanting to talk to Ginger raises some concerns for me. I have feeling my life is on the line for this. Why does it need to be like this? Maybe I should just give Ginger the chance instead to save her from all this.
(End Confessional)
"Welcome, everyone! Time for us to witness Ginger and Lucette take on today's special challenge!" Chris announced to all the remaining contestants. They were all gathered inside the challenge building with the two mentioned standing in the front. "Any words of encouragement for these two?"
"G-good luck, Lucette! H-hope that you see this t-through!" Phoebe encouraged her.
"Yeah. What she said." Blake chimed in.
"Whatever. This selfish effort of yours better be worth it." Alice snide.
"It was a surprise but, good luck to you as well, Ginger!" Laren said to her.
"Yeah. Best of luck to you as well." Paris calmly noted with a small smile. She gave her soft gaze afterwards.
"Hmph." Leonard just grunted for he couldn't care less.
"Thank you, everyone." Lucette gave a short bow.
"Yeah...thanks." Ginger felt quite unnerved.
"Is there anything wrong?" The heiress asked looking quite concerned.
"No. Nothings wrong. Just feeling nervous is all." Ginger lied with a weary smile. Lucette though just looked at her still feeling quite worried.
"Ladies! Are you two ready?" Chris injected himself in-between. Both girls just gave him a nod in response. "Well step right in to your pods and let's get this started!" He exclaimed. Both did as they were told and entered the pods next to each other.
"Hey Chris, how do you think this'll turn out? Only one of them can have the prize." Skell asked while seated by the control panel.
"Who knows?" The host shrugged with a slight grin. "We'll just have to wait and see."
"Okay. This is it. Are you ready?" Ginger asked Lucette as they stood outside the maze doors.
"Y-yeah." Lucette nodded in response.
Without anything else left to say, both girls entered the maze to begin their challenge. As they entered, a long hallway covered from floor to ceiling in reflective mirrors was laid ahead of them. Their reflections greeting them wherever they look. Moments later their entry way closed in on them leaving another mirror behind.
Bracing herself on what's to come, Ginger drew out her dual guns and held them on the ready with the shadow blades coming to life. "Stay close, alright? We'll make it through this." She assured as she took the lead. Lucette followed closely behind with her staff held close to her chest. As the both of them went on deeper in the maze, a figure exited the mirrors and watched them go.
"Hehehe. This is going to be fun." It said ominously in an echoed voice. It quickly entered the mirrors once more and disappeared.
Moving carefully through the reflective halls, both girls managed to reach the end of the first of many paths for their reflections were already ahead of them.
"Damn. Where to know?" Ginger looked all over but saw only herself.
"Ginger! There's a path over here!" Lucette pointed out from a couple steps behind her.
"Nice eye!" The former now praised as they both walked through the path.
After some time both girls managed to make it deeper into the maze though progress was starting to get slower and slower. The deeper they go the more disorienting it got for they couldn't easily tell the different between reflections and open paths. Ginger was doing her best to keep her head straight as they venture deeper in but unbeknownst to her that Lucette was slowly lagging behind.
"Ginger...hold for a bit..." The latter said in-between breaths. She was already hunched over with her hands on her knees and looked quite tired. The former didn't notice this and just kept on walking. "Hey...wait..." She picked up the pace and tried to catch up but suddenly got stopped when an invisible wall got in her path. "What? Ginger!" She started banging on the wall but nothing happened. Moments later she stopped and gasped as her reflection suddenly formed right in-front of her looking back with an ominous look.
"Hello, Lucette. Its a pleasure to meet you." Her reflection said back to her with an echoed and distorted version of her own voice. It started stepping forward causing Lucette to move back.
"S-stay back!" Lucette held her staff right in-front of her. She was noticeably trembling in fear. Her reflected version just chuckled softly at her.
"Don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you. Just keep you company." The reflection assured with a sweet smile. "Though I can't say much for your friend." She flicked her fingers and soon another copy appeared on the other side. The other copy tauntingly tossed her hair back at Lucette before quickly giving chase to Ginger.
"No!" Lucette tried to run the other way but to her surprise a mirror was there to greet her. "Huh?"
"There's no use running. I control everything here in this maze. I can even distort this place as much as I please." The reflection explained with a devious grin. "Now, let's talk for a bit."
"Ugh. Another dead end!" Ginger looked deeply frustrated now as she stared at her own reflection. "Start going back the other way, Lucette. We might find another path." She turned only to see the Lucette copy staring at her with a blank expression. The copy had a bow drawn and pointing downwards with a crystal arrow notched.
"There's no need to rush. We can stay here for while." The copy Lucette said softly while slowly approaching.
"Uhh, Lucette? You okay or something?" Ginger asked looking a bit confused.
"Yeah. But you won't." The copy instantly aimed and fired. Ginger barely managed to dodge the attack and the arrow just flew by her face. "Tsk."
"Wah? What's gotten in to you?" Ginger felt quite shocked from what just happened. The copy didn't give a response and pulled back on the bow string. Another crystal arrow formed as it did and quickly fired another shot. Ginger managed to shatter the arrow mid-air using her shadow blades. "Hold on, you're not Lucette! You're that mirror demon!" She aimed her twin guns at the copy now. "Where is she!"
"Hmph. You don't need to know that." The Lucette copy notched another crystal arrow and quickly fired. Ginger managed to dodge this as well and charged forward.
"Hah!" She slashed her long shadow blade horizontally but the copy ducked under it with ease. It retaliated back by jabbing a newly formed crystal arrow but Ginger barely was able to side step out of it. She used this opening now to jab with the other shadow blades but the copy parried her entire arm away with the bow. It soon shoulder bashed Ginger into the wall. "Gah..." The wall shattered causing small bits to impale her.
"Grrr...Get off!" Ginger roared back at it as she kicked the copy away. It slammed hard on the opposite wall causing both to shatter. She soon took off running down the maze. "I need...to find her..."
"Oh! It seems she managed to shatter my clone." R. Lucette noted as she felt her copy shatter. "No matter. I can easily make another." She said coolly.
"What do you want with us anyway!" Lucette confronted her reflection.
"No reason. I just want to torture you guys is all." The former laughed. "While we're on the topic, what brings you here? This place is too harsh for your class." She deadpanned.
"None of your business!" Lucette yelled though her voice wasn't convincing.
"Oh really?" R. Lucette giggled. "Considering you are in my domain makes your purpose my business. So let me ask you again. What brings you here." She asked in a more serious tone. Lucette started to shake in fear for she didn't know what to do.
"Lucette!" Ginger's voice suddenly interrupted them followed by running foot steps. "Where are you!"
"Ginger?" Lucette perked up a bit after hearing this. Soon enough she saw Ginger running down the hall towards them. "Ginger! Ginger! I'm over here! Help!" Lucette pressed herself on the wall in-front of her and started banging it. Her friend soon stopped right in-front of her looking heavily beaten and panting heavily. "Oh thank God you're hear, Ginger. You don't know- Ginger?"
"Lucette! Where are you!" Ginger just stood there pacing her head between two paths on both of her sides. Moments later she bolted down the path to her right leaving Lucette quite shocked as to what just happened.
"Ginger? Ginger! Where are you going? I'm right here!" The heiress tried to call out to her but it was of no use. Ginger just ran deeper down the path with her foot steps slowly receding. "What? How come she didn't see or hear me?" R. Lucette just laughed at her confusion.
"Two-way mirror, my dear. And like I said before, I can distort this place as much as I please." She continued on to giggle.
"Wait. You mean..."
"That's right, dear. I can trap her here forever if I want!" The latter started laughing maniacally now. "I can even let you watch her run aimlessly here forever." With a snap of her fingers the wall right in-front of her started distorting a bit before clearing up to see a perfect view of Ginger running down the maze while at the same time calling for her. "I wonder how long she can last?"
"You monster! How can you do such a thing?!" Lucette accused her reflection.
"Oh please. At least it's sparing her from-" R. Lucette paused for a sudden realization came to her. "Oh I get it. You two are here to slay that creature huh?" She started chuckling softly to herself for an idea soon came. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Watching her die by her own hands would make for a far better form of entertainment." She flicked her fingers and soon the maze started to discreetly shift around. Moments later the Ginger on their screen soon happened upon a spacious area that largely resembles an arena.
"Now. You're going to watch her die by her own hands." R. Lucette started laughing evilly.
"No!"
"Huh? What is this place?" Ginger looked around with a bit of confusion as she walked towards the center of the arena.
"Welcome..." A hollowed and echoed voice greeted her.
"Who's there!" She aimed her guns forward only to see a person covered entirely by a pure white robe with it's hood up masking their face. "Who are you? Are you the one that took Lucette?" Ginger asked harshly.
"I'm sorry. But I don't know who it is that you speak." The robed person answered. Their voice sounded more feminine now and almost matching Ginger's. "Though seeing she isn't here, she's most likely dead if not dying." This struck Ginger the wrong way. "I'm sure you are thinking the same."
"You lie! That isn't true. There is no way I'd think of her like that!" Ginger angrily said back. The robed person merely chuckled at her.
"That may be so but I know deep down that you wish for it to be the case in order to avoid a decision that you'll soon regret." The latter confronted her about it. The former felt shocked after hearing this.
"What? I don't know what you are talking about!" Ginger denied the accusation.
"No need to deny it. For you see..." The robed person trailed off to remove their hood. Ginger gasped at what she saw. "I'm you." She smiled now.
"That's impossible! Who are you?!" Ginger demanded.
"No need to be harsh. My name is Zephiel. A pleasure." She introduced with a slight bow. "And since I know you already, along with your purpose, let's get this started. Shall we?" Zephiel removed her robe and casted it aside to reveal her armor matching with Ginger's down to each detail with the only exemption of it being purely white. A sheathed blade was shown to be attached to the side of her belt.
"I don't have time for this!" Ginger growled and tried to run back the way she came only to be stopped by someone standing in her way.
"Nope. I don't think so." A copy of Eliza wearing a white version of her outfit stood between Ginger and the exit. She had a small grin on her face as well as having one hand on her hip. She held twin prismatic daggers by their handles with her other hand.
"Dammit. Out of the way!" Ginger let loose a barrage of shots at the Eliza copy.
With a quick hand gesture the copy was able to cast a barrier protecting her from the shots. She soon lobed the dagger towards Ginger and charged with the other on-hand. The latter managed to back-step away from the upcoming slash but the former caught her dagger as it fell and performed a back swing. Ginger though managed to duck under it and roll away to safety.
"Shit...that was close..." Ginger panted as she took up a defensive stance with her guns crossed.
"Hmm. Not bad. I wouldn't expect no less." Zephiel mused. "My turn. Eliza. To me!" She held out her right hand. The clone nodded and held it tight. Zephiel quickly swung her arm around causing Eliza to morph into a gun and aimed it at her. "Good bye." She sprayed Ginger with shots while charging at her with her long sword drawn.
A barrier formed in-front of Ginger absorbing the shots. As Zephiel got close she quickly swung her blade causing the barrier to shatter instantly. She then quickly jabbed forward but Ginger just managed to move out of the way. With the latter fully exposed, the former tried to cross slash her but a barrier quickly formed protecting her from the attack. Zephiel quickly jumped out of the way and took on a defensive stance.
"What? How are you able to do that so fast?" Ginger was astonished from what she saw.
"I'm designed to be a near perfect version of anyone I come across. Meaning I'm a better you in every single aspect." Zephiel explained coolly.
"Grrr. I doubt it!" Ginger argued back. She quickly charged and slash at Zephiel with her shadow blades but her opponent just simply back flipped away from her. "If you are me then why are you running?"
"I'm not. Look up." Zephiel instructed.
Ginger looking up saw that she had tossed her sword up into the air. As it spun around it soon morphed into a Tricia copy. After doing a few aerial flips she drew out a prismatic long sword and dived down towards Ginger. Ginger managed to dodge away from the attack but failed to notice Zephiel charging towards her
"Forgetting something?" Zephiel taunted as she jabbed a dagger through Ginger's abdomen. The sudden shock of the attack was enough for Ginger to drop her guns and lose her balance. Zephiel quickly pulled it out causing Ginger to collapse with blood quickly pooling around.
"D-damn..." Ginger groaned and winced in pain as she coughed up some blood.
"Ginger!" The sisters said in unison as they morphed into their human forms to protect her. Eliza readied her shadow arm blades and faced Zephiel.
"You'll pay for this!" She attempted to swing at him but the Tricia copy grabbed her arm. "What?! Urk…" The copy stabbed Eliza in the back with her sword forcing her to morph back to her gun form
"Sister!" Tricia tried to go help her sister but was suddenly pulled down from behind. Looking up she saw it to be the Eliza copy. She tried to get away from her but was too late for her throat got slit by the clones dagger. She morphed back into her gun form soon after.
"How sweet. These two finally showed up only to prove themselves worthless." Zephiel chuckled softly. "Too bad they are no where near compared to mine." She laughed.
Ginger didn't say anything and just kept a sharp glare up with her teeth gritted. She attempted to stand back up only to fall back down groaning in pain.
"Don't bother. You'll only die quicker by doing so." Zephiel scoffed.
"F-fuck you!..." Ginger cursed and groaned some more.
"And there's that sharp tongue I've been waiting for. I swear, its like I know you like the back of my hand. Oh wait! I do." Zephiel started to laugh at her own joke. "Oh well. Its time to end this. Tricia. Eliza. You two know what to do." She commanded them.
The copied sisters gave her a nod and walked towards the mirror knight. They held on to each of her hand before morphing into their gun forms. Zephiel crossed her arms and grinned
"I bet you remember this." She said to her. Both her guns started to glow brightly. "Freikugel!" Her guns started to morph and reshape themselves and combine to form a rifle. As the lights died down the rifle looked to be of high caliber nearly resembling an AWP complete with a powerful scope and stock. Zephiel easily held the rifle with one hand and stood with her body facing side-ways as she aimed directly at Ginger.
"Its a shame you haven't mastered how to do it on your own with your new guns. This could have been a way more entertaining fight if you did." Zephiel chuckled softly. "Oh well, nothing I could do. Good bye!"
Meanwhile some place else deep in the maze while the battle was taking place. Lucette was watching on in fright and horror as she watched her close friend getting beaten badly by Zephiel.
"No!" She exclaimed as she watched Ginger get stabbed in her gut. She started to tear up as she saw Ginger fall. Lucette now dropped onto her knees and began to cry.
"Entertaining, is it?" R. Lucette said sarcastically from behind her. The princess didn't say a word for she was already sulking. "Its a shame really. With her skill she could've easily made it to the top." She shook her head in disappointment. "I wonder what made her do this?"
"...It's all my fault..." Lucette said weakly. The latter though looked quite interested for what else the former has to say.
"What was that? I didn't quite catch that." R. Lucette smirked.
"I said it was all my fault..." Lucette repeated. "I begged her not to but she wouldn't listen..."
"Oh. So you're the one to blame for her loss huh?" The latter snickered. "Oh well. Nothing left to be done other than watch." She shrugged.
"...*sniff*...Please..." Lucette said weakly as she watched Ginger struggle. "Please I beg you. Let me go and help my friend out. I don't want to see her go like this!" She begged.
"Why would I?" R. Lucette scoffed. "Even if I did there is no way you can make it over there to see her body disappear. Even more so to help?" She argued. "But then again I could send you there myself but where's the point in that? You'll both die anyways. I might as well save the other death for myself." She mused herself.
"I don't care if its going to be a failed effort! I just...I just want to be their for her like she did with me..." Lucette frowned. "So please...I'll do anything in return." Tears started flowing down.
"Anything you say? What is it that you could ever possibly do for me?" R. Lucette questioned as she watched the contestant sob right in-front of her. Her eyes lit up for an idea suddenly came to her causing her to grin. "Well, there is one thing. Though I'm not sure you are up for it so nevermind." She said with a sly grin.
"Tell me! Please!" Lucette insisted.
"Alright since you insist." The reflection's grin grew wider. "I simply ask for you two allow me to join you in this little game. Having all this power is worthless if I have no one to use it on." She chuckled lightly. "So what do you say?"
Lucette, seeing as though she has no other options, just simply nodded as her response knowing full well this could he a bad idea.
"That's a good girl!" R. Lucette held her hand open. "Give me your hand for a moment, dear."
Lucette obliging with her command placed her hand on top. The mirrors surrouding them started glowing blindingly bright until everything was fully consumed in light.
"Oh well, nothing much I could do. Good bye!" Zephiel squeezed the trigger allowing a bullet to fly. As she took her shot a mirror shattered right in-front of her instead completely nullifying her attack. "What?!" Her eyes widened as she noticed who stopped her attack. "You!"
"Hello, old friend." R. Lucette greeted with a calm smile as she stood right in-front of her. Behind her was Lucette who was kneeling down next to Ginger.
"Ginger! Ginger!" Lucette exclaimed with tears flowing down from her eyes while shaking Ginger's left arm.
"Lu...*cough*..." Ginger said weakly before fainting. A pain filled expression was casted upon her face with her breathing staggered.
"Ginger!" Lucette noticing the growing pool of blood under her needed to act fast as she raised her staff. "Please be alright." The crystal started emitting a green light covering Ginger in a bright green veil. Moments later the light died down with the blood pool no longer growing. Ginger's face calmed down as a result with her breathing also steadying. "Thank God I made it." She let out a sigh of relief.
"What in blazes do you think you're doing?!" Zephiel growled.
"What else? Stopping you of course!" R. Lucette replied with a smile.
"I can see that! But as for what purpose? Surely that pathetic little girl didn't talk you into doing this." Zephiel gave Lucette a sharp glare before returning her gaze back to her new opponent.
"Of course not! I just simply struck a deal with her is all." The reflection explained.
"A deal? What could you have possibly made an agreement on causing you to turn on me?" The former interrogated further.
"Easy. She'll be my ticket out of here. Being cooped up in here is getting quite boring ya'know?" The latter answered. Zephiel didn't take her response to kindly.
"Exit out of here? This is where you draw your life force from! Leaving this place will only cause you your certain death. Have you ever thought of that?" Zephiel argued.
"That's why I'm helping them. Look closely." R. Lucette gestured towards Lucette. Zephiel soon took notice of a silver ring with a small platinum jewel on top glowing brightly.
"I see. Well, to bad this where they'll die. For this will be over quick." Zephiel readied her rifle with the barrel pointing low creating a click sound at the end. R. Lucette simply let out a small smile and stretched her left arm out to the side. A barrier separating them from the contestants soon appeared glistening slightly.
"I doubt it." She grinned. "Your move."
Scoffing first, Zephiel quickly charged forward with her rifle aimed low. Mid way through her charge she suddenly leaped up high doing single spin in the air. Her rifle glowed and morphed in the process turning into a halberd with a crystalline blade. She slammed her weapon down but R. Lucette just simply side stepped away from the attack.
"Ha!" The former attempted to sweep her away but the latter gracefully vaulted over the attack. Zephiel quickly followed it up with a lunge but was again easily side stepped which allowed for her opponent to get behind her
"Impressive, but not enough." R. Lucette raised her right hand up in order to cast her spell. Mirrors suddenly appeared surrounding Zephiel and trapping her inside. "Shatter!" She closed her hand causing all the mirrors to glow brightly before bursting into pieces. Shards started flying everywhere as the field was consumed by a blinding light. As the light faded no traces of the mirror knight was left on the scene.
"I guess that's that." She shrugged and chuckled softly.
"Look out!" Lucette yelled.
The reflection hearing this looked towards her and saw her pointing upwards. Looking up now she saw Zephiel quickly diving downwards with the tip of her weapon aimed right at her.
"Whoa!" The attack landed mere inches away from her with the weapon driven deep onto the floor.
"Ha!" Zephiel used her weapon as a pole and spin kicked R. Lucette straight on her stomach. The former managed to block the kick with her arms but went sliding backwards due to the force of it. The latter now quickly pulled her halberd out from the ground to follow it up.
She twirled her weapon causing it to glow and pulled it apart to morph it back into her twin guns. She quickly tossed one of her guns in the air and morphed the other into twin daggers. Zephiel went in for a cross slash and landed a direct hit. She then combined the daggers together to revert it back to its gun form and caught the other as it fell. The gun quickly morphed into a sword and slashed it downwards landing another heavy blow making R. Lucette stagger backwards. Zephiel now went in for a jab with the blade piercing through her back. The reflection now fell onto her knees as a result.
"Like I said, this'll be over quick." The mirror knight tried to pull the sword out from the reflection's chest but was stopped when she grabbed it by it's blade.
"Y-yeah...but who's to say you're the one winning this?" R. Lucette said weakly with a small smile. She made a quick hand gesture pointing up, left, and right making three crystal orbs to appear out lf thin air. Zephiel tried to pull away from her but was grabbed by the wrist. "Shatter..." Multicolored beams started shooting from the orbs as they circle around.
"Aaaaah!" Zephiel let out an agonizing scream for the constant stream of light was to much for her to handle. Her body started to glow bright until her figure was fully consumed by light. Moments later the lights pulsed out for a bit before slowly shrinking down. Small sparkles of light were left behind as the light died down.
"Heh...good bye, friend..." R. Lucette stood up and slowly walked towards the barrier she created. With a swift hand motion she dispelled the barrier and walked towards Lucette who was still tending to Ginger. "Let's go. She'll be back..." She warned as she took the lead and slowly limped on ahead. Lucette scrambled to get on her feet and dragged Ginger on her shoulder's.
Both of them walked all the way to the other side of the arena where a large, closed gateway stood in-front of them. The gates slowly slid open from their presence which lead to deep and dimly lit long hallway.
"Well, I guess this is as far as I'll take you." R. Lucette let out a soft yawn. "I'm very tired now so if you need anything don't bother calling. I'm tired of your shit right now." Letting out another yawn the reflection slowly started to fade away until the gem on her ring stopped glowing. Looking straight ahead, Lucette took in a deep breath to prepare herself for what's next.
"Okay! Here we go!" She pumped herself up before moving on. As the young princess continue to walk deeper down the hall she soon spotted a bright light at the other end. Getting closer and closer she walked on forward until everything was fully consumed by the bright light with nothing left to be seen until...
"*gasp* Huh? What?" Lucette escaped out of her pod and back into the real world. Looking around her she noticed no one else was there with her. Looking beside her now she saw Ginger had fallen out of hers and was on the floor. Light snoring can be heard from her signifying that she had fallen asleep.
"Welcome back!" Chris exclaimed as he greeted Lucette. "I see you two survived the challenge!" He grinned.
"Thanks but where are the others? I thought they were supposed to be in here watching us?" Lucette asked looking a bit confused.
"Them? I sent them back to their cabins. I only allowed them to watch you guys go but not the entire thing." The host answered. "That means no one knows yet that both of you survived! As well as that bonus you got along the way." He said with a slight grin. Lucette felt a bit uneasy about that. "Anyways!" Chris clapped his hands. "Since both of you made it out alive its time for the both of you to decide who gets the reward!" He reminded her now. "Though considering Ginger is asleep the decision falls on you now." A devious grin soon formed on the host's face. "So who will it be then?"
Lucette thinking back to everything she just experienced made the decision difficult for her to decide. After a while of thinking it over she finally came to a conclusion.
"I'll...let Ginger have it." Lucette now answered. Chris felt quite intrigued as to what made her make such a decision.
"Hmm, how kind of you to do so and quite unexpected" The latter commented. "Tell me though, what made you give it to her?" He now asked.
"Thinking back on it she risked everything for me so I figured that giving it to her is the least I could do." The former answered with a sad look as she starred at Ginger laying right beside her.
"I see." Chris said with a small nod. "Are you sure about that though?"
"Yes. I'm sure." Lucette confirmed.
"Good." The host snapped his fingers and soon two interns appeared. "Take Ginger here to her special room." He commanded them both. The two interns just nodded and carried Ginger out of the building.
"Where are you taking her?" The princess asked with a worried tone.
"Oh just a special place deep in the forest where she'll wait things out until merge finally hits." Chris answered. "Don't worry. She'll be fine." He assured.
"Will I still get to see her until then though?" Lucette hoped.
"Nope!" Chris said with a mischievous laugh. "Anyways..." He snapped his fingers again for another intern to appear. "For now though, go with this intern. He'll lead you to a secret place where no one can find you." He explained.
"Huh? For what reason?" Lucette looked very confused from this.
"To make sure no one knows who won yet." The host answered. "I'll announce it to everyone before the challenge starts so for now let's just keep it as a surprise." He then motioned for the intern to take her. The intern nodded.
"Follow me." The intern said to Lucette while leading her towards the back.
"I see." Lucette complied and followed the intern. Both of them were soon gone with a door shutting close being heard in the background.
With the host now alone the camera started to slowly zoom in on him. A small smile was shown across his face as he stared deeply into the camera.
"Well our dear viewers. All of you just witnessed our very first merge contestant for this season as well as a special companion for one of our contestants." Chris took a dramatic pause to take in a deep breath. "How do you guys think Ginger will react once she wakes up in her special room? Will Lucette survive the next couple of challenges due to her new friend's presence? Will this new companion of Lucette actually be of any help? And how will Paris' game plan work out now that her only ally got ahead of her? Find out next time on Total...Drama...Dungeon Hunters!"

Author's note: Well, here you guys go. The first special challenge. I apologize for this being very short due to the amount of time it took. I wanted this to be as decent as possible since it was requested by two different people and I didn't want to disappoint. Because of that a lot of delays happened due to multiple revisions and some writer's block. Also no question for today since I already asked one for the next actual challenge. You guys can still PM me about stuff if y'all want to though. Lastly no more asking for the other bonus since well merge is only a three chapters away and I've already confirmed who's going to be in the merge along with a returnee/s and have made a plot for it so yeah. Anyways, that is all. Hopefully you all enjoyed so 'till next time!
