Chapter 2: Friends on the Final Frontier Part 2


While Cedric was busy covering his tracks back on the plane, Owen was sleeping like a baby inside of some sort of chamber where he was bolted to a steel surgical bed.

He woke to find himself in the terrible situation and declared "You're not going to fatten me up to feed your race of probe happy aliens!…Are you?"

The moment he finished large mechanical arms attached to various tools came down near the overweight teen's face, before a helmet came down onto his crown "Oh no the memory wiper thingy! If I only remember one thing, please, let it be nachos with extra ja-lapenos."

From outside of the chamber, Tyler who happened to be running by with Alejandro, heard the screams of his missing friend and stopped dead in his tracks.

"It's gotta be Owen!" He ran back to the chamber and began punching the door as he hard as he could in an attempt to force it open "Owen, we're here to save you buddy! Never-leave-a man-behind!"

As Tyler stopped with his hands throbbing from the pain Alejandro ordered "Tyler, there's no time! We need to find an artifact! It's not like one's just going to fall out of the sky!"

To his surprise a box fell off the chamber and onto Tyler's head, before rebounding into Alejandro's arms,

"Huh, I stand corrected!"

It was at that point the box started glowing, giving the Spanish teen the idea to drop it before it transported to extraterrestrial creatures with blue pods on there backs into view

"Aliens! Don't probe me bro!" Tyler screamed in fear to the creature who seemed rather confused, before it stuck its finger out towards Tyler with a warm smile. The jock took it as a gesture of goodwill and followed suit.

This turned out to be horrible idea as the alien's friendly expression changed to that of cruelty and began shocking him with its finger before latching itself onto its face. The other who had been teleported followed suit with Alejandro.


Meanwhile Cody was searching around the facility trying to find anything to distract him from his headache which was getting worse and more painful by the second. He didn't really care about the black ops guarding the place, since Chris knew the commanding officer, if they were caught the most that would happen was getting returned to the plane.

He stopped walking when he noticed giant pods just lying there on the ground. Curious, as he'd seen something similar in a movie before, he touched the pod which gave him a small yet painful static to the finger.

As he sucked the cut on the tip of his finger, the pod opened from the inside to reveal an almost exact copy of him. One that didn't seem very friendly. The alien approached him menacingly as Cody backed away from it, but before things could escalate any further.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Oh my gosh, two Codys! I'm confused, and excited!" Sierra rambled before squealing before pulling both of them into a hug, which was so hard it caused the copy to explode into green goo.

"Ok, now I'm just confused…" Sierra said as befuddled as she stated before realizing Cody had completely vanished in the explosion "Um Cody? Cody?"


After a brief encounter with Gwen which solidified their relationship status Duncan continued his aimless wandering through the halls before he ran into his teammates, who were still either missing or being attacked by extraterrestrial beings.

"What's this a double date?" Duncan asked in reference to their situation before approaching a trapped Alejandro "I'll tell you what, you agree not to vote me off this week, then I save your butt!"

Since he couldn't speak with the alien covering up his face, Alejandro gave a thumbs up to signify his agreement. Once his demands had been met Duncan smugly walked up to Tyler who was still running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

"Okay first, big mouth!" Duncan said as he stuck his fist out where Tyler was about to run causing him to run straight into it, turning the alien into a pile of mush.

"Aw dude! Ever hear of overkill guy?"

He then attempted to remove Alejandro's alien parasite, which turned out to be a much more difficult task. But while that was occurring and Tyler was wiping the alien guts off him, a figure snuck past the group, and climbed up the box, before removing the attached pipe enough for him to get inside.

When the alien finally had enough of being manhandled, it released an electric shock sending Duncan and Alejandro flying, with the latter into a keypad on the chamber, which flashed for a moment before finally opening the door revealing a rotund figure from the smoke.

"Owen?!"

Indeed the man that came out was Owen, but he looked much different from what he did before. And by different we mean ridiculous. He had a green mullet where his normal curly blonde hair was, and his face looked like that of a poorly done clown's.

"What? Oh no! The aliens wiped my memory! And styled my hair!" Owen realized, which was partially incorrect.

"And did your makeup!" Tyler added to his statement.

As Owen screamed in fear Chris and Chef laughed at the monitor from the apparent safety of the staff lounge. The host spoke into the walkie talkie "Ah man, thanks Colonel Roy Mustang. I can see why that mullet is top secret!"

The two men stopped laughing when they heard screams of agony coming from one of the planes wings "Hey Chef, I think now might be a good time to lock us in."

"Agreed."

"I don't think that the aliens actually stole your memory Owen." The jock tried to explain to his chubbier friend, to no avail.

"Oh but they did Tyler! I can't even remember your name!"

"A little help here please." Duncan asked he continued trying to pull the stubborn alien off of Alejandro.

Unfortunatley for the two of them, rather than help Owen continued his rambling "Or Duncan's name, or Al's name, or Chris, or the plane, or the cheese cellar back home! No wait never mind, I think I'm good."

Now that he had cooled down he had turned his attention to the struggling Alejandro "Hey Al how you doing? Al? Al?"

"Three, two, one and revenge!" The irritated Latino said while snapping his fingers, triggering another hypnotic trance. This time however Owen pulled his underwear over his head and began doing the running man before singing.

"Take me out to the ball game! Take me out with the crowd" he sang in falsetto, much to confusion/horror of the bystanders, including the alien "Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks. I don't care if I never come back!"

By this point the extraterrestrial had had enough and latched itself onto Owen's face and shocked him just to stop the awkward scene.


Confessional:

Duncan: "[laughing hysterically] The running man? Alejandro is alright!"


"Hurry! It's just getting angrier!" Tyler said as he watched the alien grip onto Al and shock both him and Duncan. Then, in a stroke of luck, the alien finally gave way, giving Tyler room to trap him in a cardboard box.

"One intact alien being. First class here we come!"

Noticing Owen was still in the humiliating trance, Alejandro ended his fun by snapping him out "Three, two, one and we're back!"

"Did we won?" Owen said drowsily as he snapped out of the trance and collapsed onto the ground.

"Great, now we have to carry him out!"

"No offense Al, but I think I'll stick with the alien." Tyler stated before they heard footsteps coming from further down the hall or the warehouse.

"Quickly, we have to hide." Al said nervously as he and Duncan picked up the half-asleep Owen into the nearby and still open chamber with Tyler following close behind with the trapped alien.

What they weren't expecting however, was for the door to the chamber to suddenly slam shut, enclosing them inside. This caused the remaining members to start screaming to the other side in panic.

The black ops officers that they were hiding from heard them from the outside "Civilians! What could they possibly be doing in there?"

"Colonel loaned the usage of the facility to an old friend of his remember. If they match any of the profiles we've been given today, we're supposed to apprehend them, confiscate any alien artifact they may have procured, and take them back to the border of Area 52."

"Well what are we waiting for? We have to get them out there!" The soldier opposite him said before a shadow leaked out the bottom of the door and under his, causing his eyes to briefly flash red.

After the process repeated with the other operative they simply began apatheticly walking off, leaving the trapped team behind "Just forget it,if they could get themselves back in, they can get back out on their own."

"I don't think that they're going to help us!" Tyler said getting increasingly frightened, listening to the other side on the cover of darkness.

"Well at least it can't get any worse than this." Alejandro said before a fart noise and a foul smell entered the air. This caused any of the members who didn't release the odor to start reeling in disgust.

"Hehe, sorry."

"Somebody light a match!" Duncan pleaded before remembering the lighter he kept in his back pocket.

He was about to reach for it, when another unfamiliar voice came from the darkness "Please, allow me."

A quick finger snap was all it took to completely light up the room. The apparent light source was a man of about sixteen years of age, with a wool collar jacket, and brown bush like hair that made him look like a mad scientist in a b movie. While this almost entirely fit the description of the perpetrator from earlier, there was a clear contradiction. His eyes were an unusual shade of purple.

"Greetings and salutations. You appear to be lost." The mysterious man said "Well I can help you with that."

"Thanks man, we need to get out of here so we can give our alien to Chris before the Amazons can." Tyler explained.

"Not that kind of lost you dummy. Your soul is in disarray." He said before pulling a business card out of his sleeve.

"I study the wonderful and mysterious art of voodoo here in Area 51, and I control it. I can make all your worries go away. Whether it financial, luck, romance, respect, hunger."

While these things were already sounded promising to Tyler and Owen (the latter of whom was drooling obscenely) Alejandro still wasn't convinced "I don't know, we really should be getting back Area 52."

"No worries, I've been observing the other team, and none of them have even come close to retrieving their artifact." The shadow man explained, which caused the Latin schemer to grow a look of interest on his face.

However Duncan gained an eerie sense of familiarity from the man. One that said to escape at all costs. Noticing this he pulled his team off to the side into a huddle.

"We should get out of here. If we stay much longer than Amazons might win while we're out!"

"Come on man, don't be a party pooper! He said that they were still looking. Might as well kick back a little bit while we're ahead!" Tyler tried to persuade his delinquent teammate, who was not budged.

"How do we know we can even trust this guy! He seems very familiar to me, and it's not in a good way." Duncan continued his attempt to persuade them otherwise. But while he was doing this he didn't notice that the stranger had somehow placed himself into the huddle, right next to him

"Ooo what are we talking bout?" Duncan jumped back with a small yelp away from the suspicious man.

Despite his own questions, Alejandro decided to let the whole situation slide for he seemed trustsworthy enough. The kind of trustworthy he could bend to his will "I think we have time for a bit of fun. Cedric, we shall see what you have to offer."

"No we don't have time. What we need to be doing is finding a way to get out there." Duncan grabbed onto Al's wrist and began banging on the door, with the smallest hint of frightened desperation in his voice.

"And the girls say Gwen's the New Heather." Tyler offhandedly quipped to Owen who snickered in response.

Though Duncan was being increasingly difficult, Cedric kept that smile plastered onto his pale face "Tsk,tsk, tsk; You aren't seriously considering passing my generous offer up are you."

Just then, the dreaded sound of the song chime came into the room. Though the members of Team Chris groaned, Cedric saw this as an opportunity and slid a cane out of sleeve.

You live pathetic lives, it's tragic but it's true

He slid in between Tyler and Alejandro, while tussling their hair.

Your girlfriend can't remember your name, your family don't respect you

While Tyler was saddene and Alejandro was irritated by the memory of his older brother, Cedric stood on top of Owen's back and crouched down into his ear, while looking at Duncan and motioning toward him with his thumb.

Made a mistake

With a bad break

But we'll have none of this

Owen somberly nodded his head at his suggestion, while Duncan looked offended for a split second, before crossing his arms and leering in annoyance.

For with my magic powers, I can solve your problems

With a flick of the wrist

Welcome to Wonderland! Straight from me to you.

There is no power on this earth, that can match with my voodoo

He slid up to the operating table in the middle of the room, before bending it down into a bed and spinning it around rapidly. When it finally stopped, it had for some miraculous reason changed into a coffee table with five small cushions around it's edges

Just sit down at my table, and show me where it hurts

I can guarantee you that it can't really get much worse!

They at down around the table as told, albiet Duncan did so reluctantly. By far the thing that drew the most attention was the orbs placed on table, opposite cushions.

Cedric slightly touched the tip of his cane to Alejandro's orb, signaling him to touch it "Let's start with you, Spaniard."

Your family has been diplomats, for six long generations.

Your old man's the ambassador, to all three Baltic Nations

But tú hermano mejor always beats you

At everything you know

Has better luck with las chicas

And always hogs el baño

You want him to respect you

But for that you'll need some green

And when you meet a certain someone

You'll feel as verde as a bean!

Alejandro halted his channeling and smirked, satisfied with what his apparent future looked like. Cedric the pointed to Owen who anxiously place his hands on the orb "You're next Gluttony."

You're the youngest of three brothers, and the oldest of three more.

You've eaten so much in you life, that you can hardly fit through door

In this game, you're fairly well liked.

Very few people, view as a trite

But your position as a pawn has become a bore

So that position will make you soar

"Ummm, what does that mean?" Owen asked about the vague statement, to which the fortune teller dimly shrugged in indifference. He was about to point at the increasingly nervous delinquent, before another voice cried out.

"Hey, can I go next bro?"

"Heheh, well aren't you enthusiastic."

A sports fan you've been since you were born.

Along with that sweatband you always adorn

You only have your father, to live with in your home

For of a certain monster, your mother was a victim

A time will come when you confront him again

And you'll become stronger than you've ever been

Tyler took his hands off of the orb looking very bothered by a specific memory, before receiving a sympathetic pat on the back from Owen. Cedric's smirk had grown exponentially as he slowly brought his long finger up to Duncan.

"And then there was one." Duncan looked around to see his teammates looking expectantly along with the medium. Because of this pressure he unconsciously found his hands lowering themselves onto the orb, before contact was finally made.

In that instant a flash of horrible memories came flashing through his mind and were displayed onto the orb. The circle of sins and the symbol in the center, the tune they whistled whenever they were about to strike, the cane which undid itself into a blood soaked sword.

Finally two figures appeared in the red. One had a gap in their teeth, and spiky hair that drooped down to cover up one of his eyes, and flames covering him. The second one came much more vividly, with teeth sharpened to that of a carnivore, and a bushy hair that was stuffed under a top hat. A card was stuck in the hat's side that read 10/6, and his eyes flashed red, while the silhouettes of demons danced around him.

The blazing pain in his head eventually became to much to bear, and removed his hand from the crystal ball and began rubbing his temples, while Alejandro looked on in interest, before Cedric began singing again, though this time it had a slower pace and was less jazzy.

Of course for the finest times, you have to pay the toll

And in this case, it just so happens to be…

your immortal soul

The irises in his eyes turned red as his tone turned deathly cold, while still keeping its cheerful nature before shadows began spreading over the bodies of his victims, covering their screams. Duncan's only grew louder when his teeth became pointed and a hat that was throw from nowhere, flew into his hand and he placed it upon his head.

Welcome to Wonderland! I hope it found you well!

For I am the Mad Hatter.

Now Go

To

HELLLLLLLLLLLL!

The sound of the chamber door slamming down rang out and Team Chris found themselves standing on the outside of the chamber, remembering none of what had. Just occurred.

"Where were we for the past 10 minutes?" Tyler asked aloud what everyone else was thinking.

Alejandro checked his watch and realized that was almost midnight and Chris was likely expecting them back soon "We don't have time to figure out what just happened. We've got to go now!"

As they ran towards the exit, a figure peered over the top of the chambe, watching them as they ran off before looking into one of the cameras and held up one of the crystal balls.

"I betcha that this is the first this has ever been said literally. Thanks for the memories!"


Having looked for quite some time, with very little results, most of the Amazons had gathered in a group "Alright, Gwen's still looking, and Cody's probably walking around like a chicken with it's head cut off. So have either have you found anything?"

"I found a penny, heheh." Sierra tried to break quickly, so to incur as little of Heather's wrath as possible.

"So we have nothing!"

"That's great!" Courtney exclaimed before realizing she had just said that aloud "…ly bad for us."

It was at this point that Cody walked in looking more disheveled and exhausted then ever as his headache got worse and worse "Don't get too excited the most I found was a pod person. That exploded."

"So that's what that was!" Sierra realized, before a glowing box landed in Heather's hand.

"Guys! Tada, one alien artifact, totally intact!" Gwen said happily as she walked up to her team, though Sierra and Courtney still glared at her.

Heather though, was too focused on the game to really care about personal issues and said "Save it for first class! We better get going."


Confessional:

Gwen: "Yes! I think I just scored some points!"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Courtney: "Darn it. How am I supposed to vote that witch out if she wins our challenges!"


"We're almost there men! Victory is in our grasp!" Alejandro encouraged his team as they closed in on Area 52.

Tyler, who was already pumped up, tried to give his own speech "Yeah! We didn't get this far in the competish because we're wimps. It's because we stay one step ahead of the-*BOOM*

Unfortunately the jock wasn't paying attention to where he was running and stepped right on a mine, sending him and the trapped alien flying. The former landed a few feet in front of Chirs who simply motioned for the camera man get a closer shot.

"Owen get the box!" Alejandro screamed nervously, as Owen was the only one close enough to catch it. Despite already having trouble Owen managed to jump up and catch the box.

"Yes! I'm going to win this one!"

Team Amazon had just gotten out the mine field and saw that Owen had almost made it to the finish line "Crap, they're beating us there!"

With Gwen's elimination almost insured with their loss, Courntey smiled but decided she needed a backup. Show she tripped the goth with her foot, sending the box flying out of her hands.

"Oops."

All the other Amazons froze in horror as their win went flying and Owen got closer and closer to the finish. But in an instance, Cody remembered something and yelled out "Hey Owen! Three, two, one, and revenge!"

With the trigger activated, Owen stopped dead in his tracks, dropping the box and resuming the humiliating dance.

"NOOOO! What are you waiting for snap him out of it." Duncan screamed at Alejandro.

"I can't! Only the person who did the signal can!"

This move gave the metal box enough time to drop into Chris's hands "Seems legit, so it looks like Team Amazon wins it again."

Alejandro approached the semi-celebrating team, walked up to Cody and asked "How did you know about that."

"…I'm not sure exactly sure. I guess it just came to me." Cody explained before Duncan lifted him up by his collar.

"Give me one good reason, I shouldn't pound your face into cream!"

Cody looked afraid at first before his expression grew smug and he pointed behind him" I don't know ask Envy."

The delinquent shot him a confused look before Sierra tackled him to the ground, and punching him in the face repeatedly.

"Hey Chris, what happened to Frederick de Luna?" Gwen asked.

"Oh, he was found bisected in front of the enterance to one of the wings. The British guard I asked suspects it to be suicide. So now the most any of you has to worry about is elimination. Speaking of which…Team Me you have an appointment at the exit row. Have fun deciding which one of you is responsible for your incredibly pathetic loss."

"Why is the purple meatball playing the piano?"

"But first we have to get Tyler medical attention."


About two hours later, Chris stood in front of Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot, who was mulling over the situation. Tyler was currently in a sling and bandages from his painful fall.

"I have to say I'm shocked. You had a much higher performance rate than the girls for a majority of the challenge. You all contributed to the loss. Alejandro, you put an exploitable weakness on one of your team members. But despite this you are safe.

The host threw the smirking Latino the marshmallow before continuing "All three of have screwed up majorly. Tyler, you made a super klutzy move, which indirectly caused your loss. Owen, you got captured by the Black Ops and forced your team to waste valuable time. And Duncan, aside from previous issues, you spent more time freezing up then actually competing today. And while I think this is very wrong, Duncan, you're somehow safe."

"He shoots he scores!" Duncan said as he caught the marshmallow and laid back. The camera then panned to Owen and Tyler, who both exchanged nervous looks.

"And the final marshmallow for tonight goes to…

Tyler."

"I'm safe? I'm safe!" Tyler cheered thankfully doing a small jig before aggravating his injuries, while Owen looked down sadly.


Confessional:

Tyler: "I am so stoked to still be in! I thought I was going home for sure after that wipeout…Feel pretty bad I had to vote for Owen though. But like Al said.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Alejandro: "Now that the other team know's a weakness like that, Owen could only be a liability to us. That was all it took! Honestly, these fools are so gullible, this game is almost too easy! But then there's another liability I need to take care of. Watch out Cody, cause you just dug your own grave!"


"Owen, the drop of shame awaits." Chris told the overweight boy as he was handed his parachute before an absolutely livid Courtney stormed on, not even noticing the fact that Gwen was hiding around the corner.

"Are you kidding me? You got rid of Owen instead of Duncan!"

"Hey it won't be so bad! When you gotta go, you gotta go right." Owen tried to calm her, to no avail, as she knocked him right out the door and to the ground below.


Much later that night, Chef once again checked the teams, this time with a sawed off shotgun, Area 51 loaned him in the case of anymore distubances. But to his relief, nothing out of the ordinary occurred and he went back to his quarters.

The sound of the door slamming managed to wake a certain member of Team Amazon who awoke with a jolt "AAAH! No more foot rubs Sierra!"

Cody looked around the pitch-black first class, and sighed with satisfaction when he realized no one heard him "Guess I didn't need to fake that. But hey, the better no one knows that I haven't actually dreamed in six years."

Just then, the geek suddenly lost consciousness, though his eyes remained open, aside from a major difference. The irises were blood red. He walked towards the door to the cargo hold, his body changing proportionally along the way.

He hooked up a small wooden object to the door, where a familiar symbol began glowing red. He pressed in certain sections, causing the door to open on its own, though it didn't look like the hold at all, but stairs to an old basement.

The door to the hold closed automatically when he entered and walked down the creaking stairs. When he made it to the bottom Cody pulled a cord hanging from the ceiling, turning on a dim light. Though it was no longer Cody, but voodoo specialist and prolific serial murderer Cedric von Túfeice.

"Sorry Dr. Jekyll, but I'm afraid that Mr. Hyde is stepping in for a spell." Cedric whispered to his other half, before turning to a corner of the room where marionette versions of each contestant hung from the rafters.

He snapped fingers, creating a small flame on his thumb and lighting a cigarette with it, before pulling out Owen's puppet and doing the same to it. Once the the puppet was nothing but ash he pulled out the Alejandro puppet and began speaking to its face.

"Oh, you silly, silly fool. Thinking you can take me in a battle of wits, and after getting rid of your most important pawn. I'm afraid the plan is only halfway through, and it will end with me having one more soul in my power…"


(A/N): I didn't even try to hide the twist this time. Either way I really do think that this is already much better than the original. For one thing it's in an actual story format! If you think this is better or worse, send me your feedback.

Seriously though review. Anything will be fine as long as your not being a douche.
