Chapter 3: Awake-A-What?
Author's note: Remember, I am still accepting votes here. You guys decide the fate of who wins this version of TDI. I can't do too much without your votes. Remember that.
Gophers: 12 vs. Bass: 11
Chris: "Last time, on Total Drama Island, I made each and every camper jump off a 1,000 foot cliff. Most did, and all who jumped, survived. While some were pure chickens. In the end, Ben with his Ripjaws and Ditto transformations, secured absolute victory for the Gophers. Zeke destroyed nearly all hopes for victory for the bass, yet was saved. Sadie was booted instead. While Katie mourned, she scored Noah. I'm surprised, personally. What will happen? Find out on TOTAL, DRAMA, ISLAND!
*Intro again*
Entering the Gopher's Cabin now, Every girl had now woken up, well, except Katie.
Heather: "I'm going to do a head count. Hopefully, the rest of you don't mind much."
LeShawna: "A head count? Already?" Gwen yawned, and Lindsay was now staring at Heather, wondering about it.
Heather: "Lindsay, LeShawna, Beth, Gwen… me, where's Katie?"
Gwen: "Katie?"
Katie: "I'm… still up here… YAWN!"
Heather: "Good. I was worried."
Gwen: "You? Worried?"
Lindsay: "She IS our teammate after all, you know." A head with a giant green eye poked through the wall, and Beth screamed. But, since Beth's tonsils had been removed, it was like she was breathing.
Gwen: "Beth? What's up?" Beth pointed, and they looked, seeing the green eye. They all screamed, and bolted out of the cabin, except for Lindsay.
Lindsay: "Hi, Ben. That is you, right?"
Ghostfreak: "Yeah. Just checking on you all. The guys are up and at 'em."
Lindsay: "Cool. Now what?"
Ghostfreak: "We grab the others. I scared them too badly." He flew through the wall, and reverted to human.
Lindsay: "I still think you look awesome, Ben."
Ben: "Thanks, Linds."
Confessional!
Lindsay: "Ben called me Linds! Linds! He really does like me!" *ZZZZT*
End confessional.
Ben and Lindsay rounded up the rest of the girls.
Heather: "GHOSTFREAK? Seriously?"
Ben: "Sorry! I just wanted to wake you up!"
Gwen: "I'm surprised I even screamed at all. Even Ghostfreak shouldn't scare me so much."
Ben: "Why didn't you even scream, Beth?"
Beth: "I did on the inside."
Ben: "Inside?"
Beth: "I had my tonsils removed after one of the doctor's tools fell down my throat. They had to remove my tonsils to get it out. Can't scream worth a darn anymore."
Lindsay: "I am SO sorry, Beth. Really. Must feel awkward if only you scream."
LeShawna: "I know I would. Mm-hmm!"
Owen: "Ben! There you are!" The other gopher guys caught up with them.
Trent: "So, how's things?"
Ben: "Okay. Girls got scared. Lindsay and I rounded them back up. We're cool again."
Noah: "And Katie?"
Katie: "I'm here, Noah. I'm good."
Noah: "Sweet."
Justin: "Anyway… Chris just said it was time to get ready and to get your clothes on. "
Ben: "Why?"
Justin: "A challenge is starting!"
Gwen: "Oh crap! Guys! Hurry!" The gopher girls had taken off.
Minutes later…
Chris: "The Killer Bass are all accounted for. Minus one."
Duncan: "We voted her off last night. Remember?"
Albedo: "I recall, Duncan."
Chris: "I do too. Anyway… Where are the Gophers?"
Heather: "All here and accounted for!" She ran up, and Ben, plus every other Screaming Gopher was behind them, with Lindsay next to Ben, as usual.
Chris: "There you all are."
Trent: "The challenge, Chris. What is it?"
Chris: "Ah, Trent. Glad you asked. It's simple. You all must race from here to the Mess Hall."
Gwen: "Really? Come on, Chris. That's it?"
Ben: "Apparently."
Albedo: "It is time for some REAL action, Tennyson." Albedo became Jetray, and looked at Ben, excited to kick his butt.
Ben: "If it's Jetray you want, you got him." He smashed the faceplate down, then grew a tail, and grew large legs, his fingers melded into claws, and his head turned into a helmet.
Ben: "Jetray!... I mean… XLR8! Oh my… GOD!"
Negative Jetray: "The Kineceleran? What?"
Chris: "A raptor alien! NICE!"
XLR8: "Thanks."
Confessionals!
Albedo: "Why is Tennyson getting his older forms back, but I'm not? Of course…" *ZZZZT*
XLR8: "I got XLR8 back! I got XLR8! I got XLR8! And Albedo didn't! Ha-haha-ha-ha-ha!" *Does the monkey* *ZZZZZT*
Gwen: "XLR8, eh, sweet." *ZZZZZT*
End confessionals.
Chris: "And this is going to be the best part of the challenge. Ben, Albedo, you have to protect the rest of your teammates from the dangers of the forest! And a few other things! Like bears, hunters, and even Sasquatchinakwa!"
DJ: "Hunters? Bears? Sasquatchinakwa? Chris, dude! What in the world is yo' problem?"
Negative Jetray: "DJ is right. This is not good for the rest of the humans."
Chris: "Well, each of you are, um, Ben's or Albedo's responsibility, depending on whose team I assigned you to. Oh, and one last thing before I launch the starting gun…"
Noah: "Chris, we're going to frackin' DIE! There's going to be no more show! No more US!"
Chris: "All questions and concerns will be taken AFTER I explain the rules."
Confessional!
Noah: "Jerk. I'm thinking about the TEAM'S safety. Especially you-know-who's. Yep." *ZZZZT*
End confessional.
Noah: "Fine, schmuck!"
Chris: "Schmuck? SCHMUCK!"
XLR8: "Chris, just mention the final rules so we can get this challenge over with!"
Chris: "Total DRAMA Island, Ben!"
Duncan: "Do it, or I'll kick your butt so bad, not even your own No. 1 fan would recognize you!"
Chris: "Okay! Fine! The final rule is… If I catch Ben helping anyone on the Killer Bass, or Albedo helping anyone on the Screaming Gophers…, I'll send either Ben or Albedo home tonight!"
Lindsay: "You wouldn't, Chip!"
Chris: "Try me, Lindsay. TRY ME." He had his 'grin of evil'. Heather gulped. So did Negative Jetray.
Confessionals!
Negative Jetray: "I can't save Heather? But… she and I, have this thing in common. I actually lo- um… really like that particular human female. Great. Chris is the dictator here. I must follow his every whim and hope that Tennyson doesn't do anything to her." *ZZZZT*
Heather: "Well, there goes trying to get Albedo to save me heroically. I love him… He's like Ben, but… with edge! MY kind of edge. I'm getting an alliance together, and Albedo will be a member in it. Just, who else will join me? Someone desperate, or STUPID enough to do whatever I want them to." *ZZZZT*
End confessionals.
Chris: "Any OTHER interruptions of the drama I am building before I start the race?"
Gwen: "No."
Chris: "Good! On 1… 2… 3!" He shot the gun, and everyone took off. XLR8 zoomed near the pack the Gophers had the whole time. Negative Jetray took to the skies, watching each Killer Bass member run.
Katie: "Noah? You going to have any problems? You said you don't take races very well."
Noah: "No. I'm fine for now."
Katie: "I'll stay with you."
Noah: "Fine with me… *pant*" Katie looked concerned.
Confessional.
Katie: "Well, I chose to stay with Noah because he told me sports weren't his forte. I think that means he would need help. So, why not?" *ZZZT*
End confessional.
Duncan: "Guys, stay close to Eva, DJ, and I! We're the strongest members."
Harold: "Why should I?"
Duncan: "So we can all back each other up, nerdling!"
Harold: "Nerdling? I'll have you know that…"
Eva: "Zip it! Just stay with the pack, and TRY not to fall behind!"
Courtney: "But, if Albedo can't reach us in time, then what, Mr. I-know-everything-about-teamwork?"
Duncan: "I know what I'm doing. I've escaped juvie TONS of times. I know every way to save your group if you can't handle the odds!"
Ezekiel: "Yeah, eh! Besides, we gotta work together more. We lost Sadie last time!"
Duncan: "Exactly, Zeke."
DJ: "I like this plan!"
Geoff: "Strength in numbers, dudes! Learned that last challenge when Ben used Ditto!"
Bridgette: "Exactly! Now, to take the lead, and WIN!"
Duncan: "Exactly, everyone!" Suddenly, a bear appeared in their path. They all came to a screeching halt.
Ezekiel: "It's a bear! Now what? Wait for Al?"
Duncan: "Nah. DJ's got this guy."
DJ: "Me? Fight a bear? Really?"
Duncan: "Come on. In the forest, hard for Albedo to see through the trees as Jetray…"
Voice: "Not exactly… Ooh-ooh!"
Duncan: "Al? Is… that you?"
Voice: "Yes it is, Duncan." Negative Spidermonkey dropped out of the trees, landing in between the Killer Bass and the bear. The bear roared.
Duncan: "Dude, maybe you should use someone larger…"
Negative Spidermonkey: "Exactly my plan. Going Ultimate!" He hit his symbol, and it grew spikes while he grew to twice his size, became a gorilla, and grew giant spider legs while losing his second set of arms.
Negative Spidermonkey: "ULTIMATE SPIDERMONKEY! AHH-AHH!" The bear stared at him, then roared. Albedo charged for the bear, and punched it across the face. The bear slammed against the tree.
Negative Ultimate Spidermonkey: "Guys, go! The bear's mine!"
Ezekiel: "No need to tell me twice, eh!" He ran ahead. Every other Killer Bass member continued behind him. Albedo then shot a web from his mouth, and it wrapped the bear against a tree. The bear ripped its way out, but Albedo already grabbed a log, and swung it into the bear's face. The bear flew through the forest.
With the Gophers…
Trent was leading the pack of the 11 Gopher members.
Gwen: "Guys, where's Ben?"
Lindsay: "I don't even know…"
Beth: "He is close, right?"
Owen: "He has to be. GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!" The bear that was fighting Albedo landed in front of them, and rubbed its head, then looked at them.
Owen: "Dear Abby, we're gonna die!"
Justin: "No! I'm too handsome to die!"
Cody: "I'll handle this!" He charged to fight the bear, but it roared at him when he got to its face, and Cody ran screaming in the other direction.
Trent: "Great."
Heather: "BEN! Get over here!" XLR8 zoomed in between the bear and the Gophers, and he let his visor rise up.
XLR8: "Think you can mess with the Screaming Gophers, do you?" The bear roared at him.
Beth: "Now what?"
XLR8: "I say I put him on ICE…" He hit his symbol, then became…
Ben: "Big Chill…" Gwen smiled looking at him in absolute concentration.
Confessional!
Gwen: "Is it just me, or does the sight of Big Chill always seem so… majestic…" *ZZZZT*
End confessional.
Big Chill: "As I was going to do…" He phased through the bear, and it froze solid. Ben then landed behind it.
Big Chill: "Okay, Gophers. Keep going." The 11 Screaming Gophers continued on, but Gwen couldn't help but keep looking back at Big Chill as he flew back into the sky and turned invisible. The Killer Bass had just now run into a tight situation.
Duncan: "I so want OFF this show!" They ran into Sasquatchinakwa, and it was lumbering towards them while they were all running away.
Courtney: "DJ, do something!"
DJ: "No! Mama would kill me!"
Courtney: "Just do it!" She pushed DJ towards the beast, but he ran the other way instantly, screaming even louder than he already had been.
DJ: "MAMA!"
Courtney: "Oh for f***'s sake!"
Eva: "If he won't do it, I WILL!" She stopped in her tracks, and jumped at the beast, and started beating it up. Everyone else stopped, and watched in awe. By the time Albedo had come to save them, Sasquatchinakwa was beaten.
Negative Ultimate Spidermonkey: "Eva, did you just…?"
Eva: "Yes, I sure did, Albedo. You don't need to ALWAYS protect us!"
Negative Ultimate Spidermonkey: "If you say so, Eva." He jumped into the trees again, watching the Killer Bass from below.
Lindsay: "Oh man… my legs… they're hurting!" She bent over, rubbing them.
Justin: "We don't have time for this!"
Big Chill: "Lindsay?" He landed next to her, and bent down.
Lindsay: "I must've ran past a stick or something… OW!"
Big Chill: "I'll fly you, then." Lindsay's eyes widened.
Lindsay: "YES!" She jumped into Big Chill's arms, and Big Chill flew up, and ahead of the gophers. But now, a gunshot went off. Everyone ducked, and the gunshots flew through the air towards Lindsay and Big Chill. Big Chill was able to turn himself and Lindsay intangible to dodge the blasts.
Trent: "Everyone, stay down, and crawl!" They followed his lead.
Katie: "I cannot believe Chris did all this just because Ben and Albedo were here!"
Cody: "I know!"
Noah: "But, we're stuck with it!"
Confessional…
Chris: "Oh my God. Hello! Superpowers? We need SUPER obstacles, right?"
End confessional.
After the rest of the gophers got out of the firing range, Big Chill set Lindsay down, then transformed.
Ben: "DIAMONDHEAD!" He slammed his fists into the ground, creating a large diamond wall on both sides of the clearing the gophers had.
Cody: "Diamondhead! Good call!"
Diamondhead: "Thanks. Now let's run! We can't let the Killer bass win!" Diamondhead ran on forward, while the gophers ran as fast as they could behind him, even Owen… well… for a while.
Owen: "Can't… go… on!" He fell down.
Diamondhead: "Owen!"
Heather; "Leave him! Come on, Ben, you said so yourself!"
Diamondhead: "It isn't worth leaving behind a teammate!" He transformed.
Ben: "Water Hazard!" Owen looked at him, and smiled.
Owen: "W-water… need water!"
Water Hazard; "Coming right up, big guy!" Water Hazard doused Owen with water everywhere. Even his mouth. Owen was drinking it for a few minutes, and he was replenished.
Water Hazard; "Good?"
Owen: "Uh-huh! Let's go!" he charged ahead rather fast now. Water Hazard had also picked up Lindsay, and ran too.
Ezekiel: "Are we there yet, guys? I'm pooped, eh?"
Bridgette: "Nope. We still got some distance left to go."
Duncan: "Oh great! Now what do we do?"
Albedo: "Since we're out of the forest, we should be able to at least see the mess hall by now." And he was right! The mess hall was within view.
Geoff: "We beat the gophers here! Righteous!"
Albedo: "You all go on ahead. I'll try to prevent the gopher's and Tennyson's escape."
Harold: "Can't argue with that plan! Let's go!" They all actually ran ahead.
Albedo: "Ah, let's see, the perfect form to smash them would be… oh yes!" He slammed down his Ultimatrix, turning into…
Albedo: "WAY BIG!" He started slamming his feet through the area, and it didn't take long before his foot slammed in front of the gophers.
Trent: "What the…" He looked up, and saw Negative Way Big staring at them. The gophers all screamed, except Heather.
Water Hazard: "Albedo? What the hell is going on?"
Negative Way Big: "Ah, Tennyson. While Chris said I couldn't help the gophers, he didn't say I could be an obstacle!" He raised his foot up, and just before he brought it down, Ben went Humongousaur, and caught his foot, and immediately grew to full size, pushing Albedo over.
Lindsay; "BEN!"
Humongousaur: "Just go! I'll handle him!" The Gophers ran, panicking, minus Heather.
Beth: "Heather! Don't you want to win?"
Heather: "Of course! Wait up!" She ran.
Confessional.
Heather: "I personally wanted to see Albedo smash Ben. That would've been fun to see."
Albedo: "Of course, getting Heather would be nice. Tennyson doesn't see it coming. She'll be my inside girl."
End confessionals.
Humongousaur: "Albedo, I won't let you hurt my teammates. You know that, right?"
Negative Way Big: "Hmph. Don't you WANT to prove who's better, Tennyson?"
Humongousaur: "No, not really."
Negative Way Big: "Then why did you enter?"
Humognousaur: "To take you down."
Negative Way Big: "Of course. As usual."
Humongousaur: "Now, time to go, ULTIMATE!" He hit his symbol, turning green, sprouting a spiked ball out of his tail, got a shell on his back, grew more spikes, and got some head armor.
Humongousaur: "ULTIMATE HUMONGOUSAUR!" Then, he grew to be as tall as Negative Way Big was.
Ultimate Humongousaur: "Don't make me kill you, Albedo."
Negative Way Big: "You couldn't, even if you tried, Tennyson."
Ultimate Humongousaur: "Actually…" He finished growing to his full height, towering over Negative Way Big.
Ultimate Humongousaur: "I think I could try!" Negative Way Big fired a beam at Ultimate Humongousaur, but it failed to even affect him. So, Ultimate Humongousaur punched Negative Way Big, and he fell right down to the ground. He then shot missiles at him while he was down, causing even more pain than normal.
Ultimate Humongousaur: "Had enough?"
Negative Way Big: "Of course not!" he got back up, jumping to his feet, and he clobbered Ultimate Humongousaur. He didn't feel too much of the punch, and smashed Negative Way Big across the face, knocking him out cold, reverting him to human. He reverted to normal Humongousaur, then went XLR8, and zoomed for the mess hall. He opened the door, zooming in.
Chris: "And the Screaming Gophers win!"
Owen: "Woo hoo! Alright!"
Confessionals
Ben; "I think my team is invincible! Everyone here is just totally willing to back each other up, Lindsay is my no. 1 supporter, Trent backs me up, even Heather backs me up sometimes. Wow."
Albedo: "I let Tennyson win. That's all."
Lindsay: "I saw that fight between Al and Ben. Ben totally kicked Al's butt! *Sighs* That's my Ben Tennyson."
Duncan: "Wow. First time I saw the two of those guys actually square off. But, I ain't discouraged Al lost to Tennyson. They're pretty much the same kinda dude anyway, right?"
End confessionals.
Chris: "Okay, guys. You win the best buffet ever for making it through this part of the game!" Chef unveiled a cover, showing an actual buffet of food!
XLR8: "Aw, finally!" He turned into Upchuck, and started chowing down with everyone else.
Confessionals
Gwen: "I cried when I saw that buffet, man. CRIED!"
Owen: "There was simply nothing to say about it, other than… it was heaven!"
Upchuck: "Oh yeah. Better than that Smoothie man Charmcaster made me drink. BURP!"
Tyler: "There's something up with Lindsay and Ben that I don't get. What's so special about him anyway?"
Albedo: "I missed the buffet! Oh no… CHILI FRIES! I missed the chili fries… *starts sobbing*"
End confessionals.
Ben: "Oh… I am full!"
Albedo: "I got nothing…"
Chris: "Well, Albedo, that may actually put you in the lead for the next challenge!"
Everyone: "WHAT?"
Chris: "Now, you have to do… the AWAKE-A-THON!"
Owen: "The what-a-thon?"
Courtney: "Chris is saying that we have to stay awake a really long time right?"
Gwen: "So all that running and food was just to tire us out?"
Chris: "Yep. Isn't that just amazing?"
Owen: "No it's not!"
Trent: "That's kind of the point…"
Geoff: "Oh man…"
Izzy: "Ooh! Izzy got this down!"
Ben: "Oh man…" Everyone had then gone to the bonfire area. It was just full of them. Gophers on one side, Bass on the other.
Albedo: "This could be possible for me, I only really ran!"
Duncan: "Good for you, Al. Good for you…"
DJ: "And we're supposed to be winning this?"
Bridgette; "Don't worry guys. We CAN do this!"
Izzy: "Sure!"
Ezekiel: "Yeah, eh! Heh heh…"
Confessional…
Ezekiel: "Well, I always get up real early and go to bed real early to so, I just might be the first one out on my team. I don't want out because of that."
End confessional.
Tyler was watching Lindsay snuggling closer to Ben, trying to see what she saw in him.
Albedo: "Tyler, does that sicken you?"
Tyler: "It doesn't make me sick, it's just… what is it about him? The watch?"
Albedo: "Most likely. Say, I know. Do you want me to get you hooked up with her?"
Tyler: "Sure! I like her well enough. Super alien watch isn't everything in a man, y'know?"
Albedo: "Trust me. I do know."
Albedo (thinking): "Using Tyler against Ben may help for right now to divert his attention from Lindsay long enough for me to get to Heather."
Tyler: "HEY! Tennyson!"
Ben: "Hm?"
Lindsay: "Hi, um, is it Darryl?"
Tyler; "I'm Tyler, Lindsay! Remember?"
Lindsay; "Oh, right! Tyler… or Taylor? Chris? Noah? Oh no… Noah's with Katie, yeah…"
Ben: "What's the problem?"
Tyler: I had my eye on her first, man."
Ben: "Eye? Huh?"
Tyler: "Don't play dumb!" Heather noticed Albedo's grinning, and smiled along with it.
Confessional.
Heather; "Albedo's using Tyler's affection for Lindsay against Ben? Hmm… not too bad, but I can do one better."
End confessional.
Heather: "Hey, Albedo!" Albedo turned to Heather, and walked over to her.
Heather; "I just thought you needed some advice."
Albedo: "Advice?"
Heather: "Yeah. If you really want Ben to be effected by this, you need to make it look like he's hanging out with another chick. I'll be totally willing to help you out."
Albedo: "Really?" He showed a sign of blushing but quickly hid it from her.
Heather: "Of course. Me being honest, I want him out too. Too much of a threat."
Albedo: "And I'm not?"
Heather: "Well, we're buds, right?"
Albedo: "I suppose."
Heather: "Well, I'll help you with your plan, and with our combined brain power, we'll be the final two. How about that?"
Albedo: "Of course." They both smiled to themselves, deviously.
Tyler: "Listen, Ben. Lindsay is mine!"
Ben: "Chill out, man! Besides, I don't mind her being around me."
Lindsay: "Tyler… Come on. I like you, just not as much as I like Ben."
Tyler: "Stay out of this, Linds."
Ben: "You had better calm down."
Tyler: "Or what?"
Ben: "I'll show you what it feels like to go through a wind tunnel."
Tyler: "Really?"
Ben: "Yep." He slammed his Ultimatrix down.
Ben: "TERRASPIN!"
Tyler: "Uh oh." Terraspin jumped into the air, and started up his fan blades. He blew Tyler into a tree, then stopped.
Terraspin: "Tyler, stay up there for the rest of the night."
Lindsay: "Will you get him down in the morning?"
Terraspin: "Sure why not?"
Albedo: "Man! It failed…"
Heather: "Not really. See Tyler's look?"
Albedo: "Yes I do."
Heather: "You've convinced him to help you try to stop Ben. I'm sure he's thinking about strangling him right as we speak."
Albedo: "So, he's loyal to me?"
Heather: "Uh-huh. You concentrate on Tyler, and I'll get Lindsay on MY side. Deal?"
Albedo: "Sure. Why not?" They shook hands on it.
Heather: "Let's go."
Heather: "Um, Lindsay, I need you for a minute!" Lindsay looked at Terraspin. He shrugged, changing back to Ben. Lindsay ran over to Heather.
Heather: "I think Ben's just going to use you to try to get farther in the game."
Lindsay: "Ben? No. He's way too nice for that."
Heather: "At first glance, anyway. He has some hidden motives. I see it in his face all the time. I think he just wants to dump you like a bad egg when this whole competition's over."
Lindsay: "No. He's been really good to me."
Heather: "Just so you won't suspect it! I can read him like a book!"
Lindsay: "And don't you hang out with his evil twin Al?"
Heather: "So?"
Lindsay: "Why isn't he planning that with you? Besides, he likes you!"
Heather: "Yes, we're friends. And as your friend, Lindsay, I'm trying to tell you that Ben Tennyson is not one of yours."
Lindsay: "How do I know you don't want him, like Katie did for a day?"
Heather: "Please. As if I'd go out with that watch-boy."
Lindsay: "But Al's a watch boy."
Heather: "But he's honest, trustworthy, and nice."
Lindsay: "To you. Not to anyone else. Even to Doug or whatever his name is with the Mohawk. And they're together a lot."
Heather; "Listen to me about Tennyson. Don't trust him."
Lindsay: "And why should I trust you?" Heather backed up.
Heather: "Fine. Don't listen to me. But don't say I didn't warn you, Linds." She sat back down. Lindsay angrily sat back down next to Ben and Beth.
Beth: "What's Heather want?"
Lindsay: "She wants to split me and you up, Ben."
Ben: "Why? What'd we do?"
Lindsay; "That's what I'm asking myself."
Noah: "Ah, don't listen to her. She's fraternizing with the enemy."
Beth: "Enemy?"
Katie: "Albedo." She pointed to him.
Noah: "They apparently want to split you and Lindsay up. Personally, though, I'd say you to look absolutely great together."
Ben: "Noah…" He was blushing.
Katie: "Aww, you like Lindsay back…"
Beth: "Cool…"
Lindsay; "EEEEE!"
Ben: "Oh man…"
Confessional:
Ben: "That was when Noah said stuff about me liking Lindsay, I mean like-liking Lindsay. Eh, she is my best friend on the whole island, but… I don't… I mean, I can't…"
Gwen: "Personally, I just want to see Big Chill again. I don't know why, but I can't get enough of Ben like that. It adds a mysterious tone to him that isn't there in his human form. I hope I see it again."
End confessional.
Gwen was staring at Ben from another log.
Trent: "What's up, Gwen?"
Gwen: "Ben. He's just, awesome."
Trent: "Big Chill?"
Gwen: "Mostly. Come on. Who doesn't like him?"
Trent: "Eh, I think Ghostfreak is cooler myself, but, whatever."
Gwen: "I can't get enough of seeing him. Once I do, I feel safe. More than I do with any other form I see, you know?"
Trent: "Sure. I like Echo Echo myself. Ultimate Echo Echo's even better."
Gwen: "And Ultimate Big Chill's just even cooler, but Big Chill is… like… mine."
Trent: "Well, we still have a challenge to win you know. Can't doze off."
Gwen: "You're right… YAWN…"
Trent: "Oh no." Owen had just walked by them, naked, and sleepwalking!
Ben: "But I think I should help him!"
Cody: "I wouldn't. Besides, it would be bad to rudely awaken a sleepwalker anyway, right?"
Ben: "Yeah… It would, wouldn't it…"
Lindsay: "Yeah…" She fell to the ground.
Ben: "LINDSAY! NO!"
Noah: "Oops."
Gwen: "Looks like blondie finally fell asleep." The Killer Bass side just had Ezekiel fall asleep, as well as Bridgette. Tyler had climbed back down from the tree himself. Clumsily, but he did it.
Duncan: "We can do this, guys. Don't worry. Albedo'll still be up. He barely had anything to eat, right?"
Albedo: "Yes, you are correct."
Courtney: "But we still have to be on our toes here!"
DJ: "Aw, don't worry about it, guys. I'll stay up…" But he didn't. He fell straight asleep. LeShawna and Beth also just fell asleep.
Duncan: "All tied up, I think."
Tyler: "Yeah… ah little birdies…" He fell dead, too.
Courtney: "We are so screwed!"
Ben: "Hey, Albedo, not working to well, huh?"
Albedo: "Maybe not, but we are still a tightly-knit team!"
Geoff; "Really, man?"
Later… Much later, that is…
Everyone still awake was just tired as hell, looking around, moving around, doing anything to stay upright. ANYTHING!
Ben: "So, guys, know any good jokes?"
Cody: "Ooh! Me!"
LeShawna: "Forget it, Cody! Not another one of those!"
Cody: "Sorry…"
Noah: "Well, I do know one about Ben."
Ben: "Oh boy…"
Noah: "Well, Ben turns into Way Big to find a store right? Well, thing is, he actually needs to be Nanomech, because it's the size of a pinprick! HA!" No one was laughing.
Noah: "Okay, that sucked, should've known."
Katie: "I got it…"
Ben: "Whatever. Okay, so Vilgax was about to blow up his ship, right?"
Trent: "We heard about that already. What was it like fighting Aggregor?"
Ben: "He was invincible. To EVERYTHING! Stupid P'andor armor."
Gwen: "Speaking of P'andor, what happened to him?"
Ben: "Well, him, Bivalvan, Galapagus, Andreas, and Ra'ad all went home. It was enough for them to seriously miss being alive, I think."
Gwen: "Oh. I didn't think that…"
Ben: "It doesn't matter much now, though. They're all home, happier than ever."
Cody: "I sure hope they are. I'd like to meet them someday."
Ben: "Maybe you might. Don't know what'll happen when it comes to space." They suddenly heard LeShawna snoring.
Ben: "There she goes…"
Noah: "Again. How're the Killer Bass doing anyway?" Trent poked his head out of the Gopher crowd to look. Eva was still awake, Courtney was asleep, Harold was just barely holding onto his consciousness, and Albedo had bags. Duncan, however, was still talking with Albedo. Izzy was now asleep, too. Eva had got up to go to the bathroom, and her MP3 fell out of her pocket. Heather had ran over, grabbing it, but ran back to the Gophers instead. Albedo noticed.
Albedo: "Heather?"
Duncan: "Aw, leave the chick alone."
Albedo: "No. It's Eva's. I'd better get it."
Duncan: "Whatever, man. Just strange that you'd care."
Albedo: "I don't CARE. I just… feel… I'll get it back, okay?"
Duncan: "Okay, then." Albedo walked after Heather.
Confessional…
Duncan: "Al likes Heather. I just know it. Why won't he admit it, though? She's hot."
End confessional.
Albedo: "Heather?" Heather turned to look at him.
Heather: "Yes?"
Albedo: "Give back the MP3."
Heather: "It's a part of my strategy!"
Albedo: "To get us to the final two?"
Heather: "Yes!"
Albedo: "It seems I need to set a ground rule or two."
Heather: "A ground rule? What?"
Albedo: "We do NOT mess with each other's teammates. Agreed?"
Heather: "Um… are you sure? Eva's a threat!"
Albedo: "I'll deal with her when it is time. Give me the MP3."
Heather: "But…"
Albedo: "The less chances my team will vote me out, the better it will be for us to get there."
Heather: "Same here. I'm doing this to save the Gophers!"
Albedo: "Oh, you are correct. Hmm… Fine. Keep it. I'll let it slide this once."
Heather: "Thank you!" She hugged Albedo. He hugged her back, although he looked weirded out by it.
Confessionals:
Albedo: "Well, I guess that is a hug… a human getsure of affection. It felt… good, unbelievably."
Heather: "Look, I like him, but… I still need a strategy, y'know? Hard to balance this stuff out."
End confessionals.
Bridgette and Geoff had fallen asleep, and so had Harold, leaving Duncan, Eva and Albedo still left. The gophers had Ben, Gwen, Trent, Noah, Katie, Cody, and Justin.
Ben: "Oh… Man…"
Cody: "Justin's been up forever!"
Katie: "I know. How's he doing it?"
Ben: "I'll figure it out." He walked over to Justin, and started barking like a dog. Justin didn't respond.
Gwen: "Look at the focus."
Noah: "Unbelievable much!" Trent snapped his fingers, actually making Justin shake. His eyes then opened.
Eva: "He painted his eyes! I saw it!"
Katie: "Justin!"
Justin: "Oops…" He left in shame. Well…
Farther away… was Owen. He was swimming up a waterfall with the fishes, jumping in and out like a dolphin. Hard to believe, but true, it was happening! After some more time, he surfaced inside a cave of Sasquatchinakwas. They threw him out of the cave after he had farted, stinking up the place.
Back with the campers…
Noah, Cody, and Katie fell asleep.
Trent: "There goes half our team…"
Ben; "I know."
Gwen: "We HAVE to win this…" She started to yawn, but covered her mouth up.
Ben: "Don't do that, Gwen! You'll make… me…" He fell down.
Trent: "BEN!"
Gwen: "Oh my gosh! I've done it!"
Duncan: "Hah! There goes the big one!"
Albedo: "I knew I'd out…" He fell down too. So did Eva.
Duncan: "Oops."
Trent: "Ha! What was that you were saying, Dunc?"
Duncan: "Nothing!"
Gwen: "Haha!"
Confessional…
Trent: "And that's when the amazing thing happened."
Gwen: "You'd have to be there in person!"
Big Chill: "Hi. I'm… Big Chill. Um… What else do I say?"
End confessionals.
Out of Ben's body, a silhouette the shape of Big Chill appeared.
Big Chill: "Gwen! It's so good to meet a fan!"
Trent: "What in the?"
Gwen: "Big Chill? No way!"
Big Chill: "Yes way! I know how much you like me! I'm personally flattered by this. No one has liked a Necrofriggian like that before!"
Gwen: "Can we, go for a flight?"
Big Chill: "Of course, Gwen." Big Chill unfolded his cloak, and took Gwen, flying her into the night. This left Trent and Duncan speechless.
Duncan: "Was that Ben?"
Trent: "Nope. That was Big Chill…"
Duncan: "Wow."
The next day… Chris walked in, finding Trent and Duncan sitting alone.
Chris: "Trent! Duncan! How's it going?"
Trent: "Tired…"
Duncan: "Can't… stay… up…"
Gwen: "Hey guys!" Big Chill had flown back, holding her. He set her down when they landed.
Chris: "Big Chill! Welcome!"
Big Chill: "Well, last night was fun, believe it or not."
Trent: "Good…" He fell down.
Gwen: "Trent! No!"
Duncan: "ha! Seems like it's game, set, and match for me!" All of a sudden, he fell down, too.
Chris: "Um… The Gophers win!"
Gwen and Big Chill: "We won! Yes!"
Later…
Ben: "Oh man…" he jumped out of his bunk, in front of the other Gopher males.
Owen: "Hey, Ben. We got a surprise for you."
Ben: "Is it good, or bad?"
Trent: "I don't know. You'll just have to look for yourself." They led him out, and Ben gasped.
Big Chill: "Hi, Ben."
Gwen: "Isn't this amazing?"
Lindsay: "Yes it is!"
Beth: "He's totally your type!"
LeShawna: "Uh-huh!"
Katie: "Aw…"
Heather: "Wow. I'm impressed."
Noah: "I do NOT know how that happened."
Ben: "Neither do I."
Big Chill: "Ben, I want to ask your permission to go out with Gwen."
Ben: "Go right ahead, big guy. I'm not going to stop you."
Big Chill: "Thanks."
Gwen: "I told you he wouldn't mind."
Ben: "I'm just confused is all."
Justin: "At least thanks to Big Chill and Gwen, we won."
Trent: "And, the rest of us saw the campfire ceremony."
Flashback…
Chris: "If I don't give you a marshmallow, you can't come back! EVER!"
Eva: "GET ON WITH IT!"
Chris: "Harold!"
Harold: "YES!"
Chris: "Geoff!"
Geoff: "Sweet!"
Chris: "Tyler!"
Tyler: "Not bad."
Chris: "Bridgette!"
Bridgette: "Thanks, guys."
Chris: "Albedo."
Albedo: "As I thought."
Chris: "DJ!"
DJ; "Yeah!"
Chris: "Izzy!"
Izzy: "Boo-yah!"
Chris: "Courtney!"
Courtney: "Thanks!"
Chris: "And Duncan!" Duncan said nothing, taking his marshmallow.
Chris: "Ezekiel and Eva. One of you two is getting the boot tonight. Who's it gonna be?" They both gulped.
Confessional:
Eva: "I think I'm the one leaving this time. Why? I wrecked a lot of everyone's things searching for my MP3 when Heather suddenly found it… Heh. Oops."
End confessional.
Chris: "Ezekiel!"
Eva: "WHAT! You chose homeschool over ME!"
Ezekiel: "Woo-hoo!" He chowed down on his marshmallow alright. Eva just boarded the boat.
Eva: "The Killer Bass just voted out their best player next to Albedo. I hope they realize that. They're going to need everything they have now. IF they want to win."
The next day…
Chris: "Everyone, I'm going to introduce a new camper." Everyone gasped.
Katie: "Who is it?"
Chris: "Big Chill." Big Chill flew in from the sky, landing next to Chris.
Big Chill: "Hello, everyone! I'm Big Chill, and I hope we can all be good friends!"
Gwen: "Ah…"
Chris: "But… seeing as the teams were already made up, I decided to let Big Chill decide whether he's on the Gophers, or the Bass."
Albedo: "Hmm… pick us!"
Ben: "No! You came from MY Ultimatrix! Pick me!"
Big Chill: "Um… I'd rather we flip a coin. Both teams look so cool!"
Duncan: "Pretty friendly for a guy with a cloak."
To be continued…
Author's note: Which team should Big Chill be on? The Screaming Gophers? Or the Killer Bass? Say so in the reviews.
