Oh my gosh. Why it took so long for me to do anything? And it's not even that much. Sorry for the hiatus, I just had several problems. Such as health issues, school... ugh.
Anyway, enjoy... what I've got. It's not much. But it's at least something. If it feels weird. It is. It's getting wack from this point forward. This is only the 1st part of the end of the beginning arc, if you have questions, they will be all be explained by ? at the end.

-LOCATION- HOUSE OF CARDS- [2 minutes before end-of-day announcement]

Kittie: "We searched everywhere! And... Nothing yet."
"…So where is it?"

Emma: *sigh*
"How we are supposed to find the joker card? The place is full of cards!"

Devin (FAR AWAY): "Anything found yet?"

Emma: "Not yet!"

Max: "Why is finding a game card so HARD?"

Josee: "Guys, look!"

[ANNOUNCEMENT MESSAGE-

The In-game clock is running out for today! You have 1-minute left, so do anything you have to do before the time runs out!

]

Emma: "There is a time limit?"

Kittie: "Oh no! Now, what do we do now?"

Emma: "Found anything, Ezekiel?"

Ezekiel is lying on the ground, looking at nothing, or well... that's what Emma thinks Ezekiel is doing. He isn't a "goblin" creature anymore. Meanwhile, Devin is walking towards Emma.

Emma: "Eugh."

Devin: "Is anything going to happen if we don't get the card?"

Emma: "I don't want to know."

...

Josee: "Time is running out!.. Wait..."

Sugar: "Oh, look what I have found, a joker card."

Josee: "You were sitting on it all along!? Give it to me!"

Josee snatches the card from Sugar, the card turns into a flag, and they claim the zone.

Sugar: "Hey!"

Max: "We did it!"
"With 10 seconds left."

Devin: "Yeah!"

Kittie: "Oh look!"

Group L gets teleported as time runs out.

Max: "AAAAAA-"

...

...

There is a large platform. It's circular, and it contains a lot of stage lights and LEDs. There seems to be everyone who got the flag.

"-AAAAAAH! Oh?" Max stops screaming.

"Hey, guys! Looks like we're going to have a party!" A voice is heard across the stage.

"Oh! It's Owen!" Kittie waved at him.

...

On the other side of the stage, Group D discusses what's happening.

"... and that's why this is NOT from Chris. Yup." Sierra affirms as she concluded what she was telling.

"I still wonder who sent us to this place," Cody says as he looks around the place. "There is everyone who participated in Total Drama or a related series!"

"Can someone... somebody... GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Dave screams, as apparently, he is still stuck inside a piece of the wall he got in before getting in here. B shrugs.

Junior arrives, and he notices that. "What happened to him?"

...

Meanwhile, Zoey and Mike greeted each other, telling each other what they have gone through.

"The Aura of this place is... interesting," Dawn says, while seated in the lotus position.
"It feels dead... and alive... at the same time."

"What does that even mean?" Dakota ask.

"It's very complicated... even for me," Dawn states. "Think of it as wearing clothes that have all colors." Dakota ends up looking a bit disgusted.

...

The others... weren't doing much. Just talk, walk around, whatever. Meanwhile...

"And then I asked her, "Why you bought all that toilet paper if you don't even use it?" Guess what? She did use them... for origami." Staci was talking with the others in Group B, who look interested in what she was saying.

"Wait, wait. Origami?" Bridgette was chuckling a little.

"Don't ask me, her mind is as mixed as a..."Staci was interrupted by Izzy, who had a stressed face.

"NEVER TRUST WHAT THE OTHERS SAY. TRUST THE KID." Izzy was very close to her.

"Who?" Geoff got concerned.

"A kid is leading all this mess and-" Izzy got interrupted by a bell sound. The lights went off.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome. You had your fun time in my dimension for one day, and I'd say, I'm impressed."
"With most of you."

"It's him!" Izzy points at him.

"Hm. I'll reveal everything. After this song. Enjoy the show."

"Woohoo! Guys, it's happening!" Owen says excitedly to the others in his group, Group H.

The stage lights up, a kid is standing in front. He wears some normal clothes. There is a soft light spreading across the stage. There are some people behind him.

?: Many many years ago
When I was a true little child
Mother told me you should know
Our world is cruel and wild
But to make your way through cold and heat
Love is all that you need

He walks around the stage, he looks at a hologram of himself and his family, who seem to fade away.

?: I believed her every word
More than anything I heard
But I was too scared to lose myself
I began to cry, run away
And she gave me a special fruit
An eternity of the earth that lights up my world

He seems to hold a necklace with a seed in his hand. A person seems to be dancing around with a jar. The kid meanwhile, starts to sing in a mysterious language.

?: Ailktoja
Mire Oydosmi Morai
Steusme 'Ne Kai
Roukemne Atse Iteraio Tsoum

A pot is placed beside him, while he dances a little to the rhythm.

?: Ailketoja
Igrafre deva Kora mi
Nor dyr Hatera Tzo
Gerntev Ami Rota

He plants the seed.

?: Ailktoja
Mire Oydosmi Morai
Steusme 'Ne Kai
Roukemne Atse Iteraio Tsoum
Ailktoja

The person seems to pour water on the pot.

?: Now I see the sea of stars
Shining brightly in the storm
And I've got an avatar
Of power that keeps me so alive
Now I'm not afraid of violent winds
They may take me away - but they can't win

The place suddenly gets blue, and it's filled with stars flying around. He starts to climb some stairs that suddenly appeared.

?: May true evil go away
Shine my hope night and day
May # bless and keep my cherished fruit
Grow my tree up to the sky
Once I waved my true home bye-bye
I just wanted to be the true me again

The plant suddenly grows into a small tree. The kid watches himself jump around him.

?: Ailktoja
Mire Oydosmi Morai
Steusme 'Ne Kai
Roukemne Atse Iteraio Tsoum

At the top of the stairs, he jumps while singing a high note, worrying some people. He suddenly transforms. He now wears some kind of costume... and rays of light cover the room, as he lands gracefully.

?: Ailketoja
Igrafre deva Kora mi
Nor dyr Hatera Tzo
Gerntev Ami Rota

The tree becomes giant, and a lot of petals flow around.

?: Ailketoja
Mire Oydosmi Morai
Steusme 'Ne Kai
Roukemne Atse Iteraio Tsoum

Ailktoja

Everything goes black, and only one light is on the kid.

?: It's an eternal fruit
Hidden far away
I'll be given back
From true motherland

Boom

The groups seem to be shocked at first, but they all cheer up.

"Thank you." The kid says.

"Now this is what it's all about..."
