After all 40 campers have arrived at the camp, some took a moment to admire the aesthetic of the old summer camp. Mitch was trembling as he scouted the area for unfriendlies, with Franky facepalming with his gloved hand. Krystal complaining "Ugh, it's too hot out here. Why can't I get any cell phone signal out here? This terrain is not good for my heels!" Each camper then went towards a fireplace where several benches were arranged as they saw the host for this show, and they were surprised that this person was not Chris McLean.
"Good morning campers, glad you guys can make it." Greg greeted them with his hands on his hips and a grin.
"Who the fuck are you?" Franky questioned, "Where's the middle-aged ringmaster of this sideshow?"
"Good question Franklyn." Greg comments, "Please, have a seat as we discuss a few things for this season." he gestures to the benches as the kids took a seat, some standing up after the benches were all filled, other sat on the floor, Jacqulene on Michael's shoulders. "Alrighty, first things first some introductions. Names Greg, Greg Sampson, newly minted host of Total Drama."
"I heard rumors that Chris was forced to retire after the poor ratings of Pahkitew." Sugar raised her hand.
"Speaking of rumors, I know most of you are concerned about the legend of this very camp. But rest assured the producers have taken all the needed precautions, so rest assured we won't be seeing any masked killers during the duration of the season. Probably." Greg says, meanwhile in the sea of campers Jason has fallen asleep.
"Probably?" Mitch gulped.
"Moving along, here is where this camp used to perform campfire songs. Now, this is where you guys will determine which of you will be on the next bus out of here." Greg explained, "During these elimination ceremonies, all but one of you will be receiving..." he then lifts up a silver dome off a tray to reveal "a marshmallow. An old favorite of the show." he then stepped aside, "And behind me is the camp's namesake lake, named 4th shiniest lake in Lakes of the States magazine in 2002."
"The same lake that Jaxon Harvees drowned in." Orion stated.
"Allegedly. If everyone follows me, the interns will take your bags." Greg said before he ushered the campers to follow him, Ryo taking a long hard look at the lake. Content on figuring out everything about it and this camp. The host then shows them a large open area painted like a football field on the east side of the lake "Over here is the activities' field, where you guys are free to do whatever recreational activities you wish to partake in between challenges."
"I wouldn't mind getting a little recreational, if you know what I mean?" Uma seductively asked a sweating Andrius, who bit his lip as he scooted away from the hungry girl's stare.
Andrius shakingly asks, "The cabins aren't coed right?"
"Not a chance, though I doubt that will stop most of you." Greg said as he gave a look to Uma, who shrugged. Greg then shows them on the west side of the lake a large log cabin, "This will be the boy's cabin." he then shows them a similar cabin on the east side of the lake "And this will be the girls' cabin."
"The lake is approximately 200 yards wide." Linus whispered his calculations to his sister.
"Probably take a really committed pervert to wanna cross it to get a peep." Linka whispered back.
The campers were then shown a fairly big and spacious building "And last but not least, we have the mess hall. Where you guys will be having the kind of dining experience you can expect for a summer camp." Greg explained, "Cooked by Total Drama veteran and Diamond Lake head chef... DJ."
"Salutations campers." greeted DJ in a dark green Diamond Lake shirt, cargo shorts, and a kitchen apron. "I wish you guys the best of luck." just then heard the cries a young man with blond hair behind him wearing a similar attire to DJ, but with more scorch marks on his apron as he flails his cooking hat which had caught on fire. "Oh dear, sounds like Nathan caught his hat on fire again." DJ went to help him.
"How does this keep happening!" Nathan exclaimed as he whacked his flaming hat on the counter.
"Okay, while they take care of that. Let's head right into our first challenge." Greg proposed, much to the kids' shock.
"A challenge already?" Brodie asked.
"Yep, and since this is a summer camp. What better way to start the season than with the first ever..." they then heard a drumroll, wondering where it was coming from before Greg announced, "Total Drama Summer Camp Games!"
Everyone saw confetti falling and a banner was strung up with the name of the challenge, Orion wondering "When did they have time to set this up?"
"Alright, all the players head back to the activities field so you guys can learn what y'all be doing." Greg told them, they all headed out as Greg let out a sigh of relief when they all went. "Oh thank goodness, that was stressful." Greg cups his forehead. He then gets a tug in his shirt as he looks down at the Jimmy and Jey. "You three can go play on the play place until supper."
"Thanks!" They said before running off screen.
Greg: Almost forgot, the tried-and-true confessional. Where you can admit your inner most thoughts and secrets about the game and your fellow players.
Archie: Okay... so far... I hate being here. But my told me that some sun and being around others would help me, and we exhausted all other options so... sigh.
Brian: Alright! Total Drama confessional! Okay so, here's the thing. If I happen to do or say anything odd, that's because I'm wearing an earpiece where my friends will be giving me all sorts of wild and embarrassing stuff. So yeah, I'm not some maniac. Just an idiot that needs better friends.
Heinrich: First day at camp, first step to taking over the QUAD STATE AREA! Just need to get through this first challenge, which I'm not the beeest at. But who said I had to be athletically gifted to win a sports challenge? HaHA!
Michael: (about to sit down, only to be jump-scared by Franky wearing a hockey mask out from the toilet) AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH I'M POOPING MYSELF! AAAAAAGGGHHHHHH!
Franky: Hahahahahahahah! (Franky cackled as he pointed at Michael with his finger glove knife as he removed his mask) You should have seen your face ahahah! Also, did you say you were... pooping yourself?
Michael: Nooooooooooo? (Slowly crab walked out of the confessional to change his pants)
Uma: Ooooooh my~ So many new toys to play with, but so little time~ (Uma's hand was in her shorts) Just thinking about what I'm gonna do to them is making me wet~
Ursula: (was about to speak but got a whiff) Oh no, don't tell me she blah! (She then pulls out a pair of golden panties from the toilet) Damn it Uma!
Maybelle: Confess-ion-Al! Confess-ion-al!
The campers have all made it to the activities field, where they heard the loud ear-piercing whistle coming from a woman wearing a dark blue camp shirt with the sleeves ripped off to reveal her jacked biceps, blue work out shorts, black and white sneakers, and a blue baseball cap. "Alright maggots! Time is wasting, and we got a challenge to start!"
Franky nudges Roman, "She's all yours." To which the teen father dismissed the prankster as he was given an ear full of whistle from the audience woman "GAH!"
"NO TALKING DURING CHALLENGE DEBRIEFINGS!" The woman shouted before marching back to the front of the crowd, "Now many of you know me... as Eva from Total Drama Island. But during challenges, you may ONLY refer to me as coach. For I am the head counselor of physical and recreational activities, and I will be overseeing this first challenge. You maggots will be competing in 5 different events you see at a summer camp, and the best 6 performing campers will be the captains of this season's teams." most of the campers gasped, six teams?! "First event of the challenge, Archery!" Eva snaps her fingers as the campers then see a ten-foot-tall target put up by a fairly tall muscular man with tan skin, dark teal camp shirt, blue pants and orange shoes. The intern stands beside Eva and salutes, "Much appreciated Perry."
Hearing the name Heinrich glares daggers at the intern, who sends daggers back at Heinrich "Perry Platts." Heinrich snarls.
"You know him?" Harris asks the evil scientist.
"Far too well." Heinrich responds.
Eva then pulls out a clipboard, "Alright, if I call your name. Grab a bow and arrow set from Perry and head to the west far side of the field... Andrius, you're up first." Eva read off the first name. The small sweaty kid went up to Perry and grabbed a bow and arrow set. "The rest of you, will stand by unless it is your turn." Eva told them as Andrius got in position at the base line.
"Remember, you get three shots to score points, so make 'em count." Eva told the little boy as he took out a bow and took aim.
Andrius: Going up first, a lot of pressure... so many eyes on me... gulp
He gulped before he prepares to fire, "Okay Andrius, first up. Don't blow this." He squeaked to himself before he fired hitting the target's leg. He then missed another arrow as it soared over the target. Andrius then makes his last attempt, his hand shaking as he already felt the pressure from going first. And with his current low score he wants setting a hood mark to beat, this combined with his growing nerves made him stall for about a couple minutes.
"This is taking forever, I'm falling asleep. Franky complained as he propped his head on Mitch's shoulder, the teen jumped at this before he let his friend snooze away.
Krystal snuck over to where Orion was and snaked her arms around him, the boy smiled as he held her hands softly. This made the rich girl flinch before she ran off back to where she was, Orion looked to Maybelle who held up a photo with a gleeful smile.
Orion: Me and Krystal have been dating for nearly 2 years now, but she's not all too open out our relationship in public. My sister found out about it during one of our private dates and she's made it her life's mission to document any sign of affection Krystal gives me when we're not alone.
Maybelle: I got this one when they went to this fancy Italian restaurant. (shows the camera a reanactment of that scene from Lady and the Tramp)
Roman was seen doing a military press with Brodie while Griff was looking over beakers of chemicals. The wait got so long Eva got tired and yelled in Andrius' ear "MOVE IT SQUIRT!"
"GYAH!" Andrius yelps before he shot his arrow... right in the bullseye, the crowd gold clapped at his accidentally bullseye. Andrius catches his breath as he looks on at his last shot, "Um... yeah?"
Eva writes the down the score, "Alright, that lucky shot leaves you with 100 points. Step aside rookie." Eva tossed Andrius to the other side of the field from the campers before calling, "Up next, Archie! Get your butt up here!"
Archie sighed as he came out of the crowd and went up to the deck, where Perry had reloaded the arrows for the campers to shoot. The scarred boy takes his turn, hitting his arrows around the middle scoring rings of the target.
Then up to the plate and as Aoi, who is now dressed as Umi Sonoda from Love Life! School Idol Project. As she takes aim and fires all three of her arrows backwards, facing away from the target and still getting two bullseyes and a 9. This impressed the crowd as Brian went up to play.
The joker then shouted before shooting, "FOOOOOORE!"
Careen went up and fired, her shots were a little off. But then they changed course and hit the 7 pointer rings, this raised a few eyebrows from Orion and Linus.
As the event went on, a lot of the campers had surprising skill with the bow and arrow. Notable shiners include Grace, who when she got up to shoot all three of her arrows and hit a bullseye and split all her arrows in half. "I do a lot of hunting with my dad; this is only my second favorite hunting tool. Next to a tomahawk." she said, others that did great were the detective trio of Ryo, Linus, and Linka who scored around the same area of 26-28 points.
Gaining a perfect score was Roman, who loaded all three arrows on the same bow. And pulled them back as lightly as possible before they all went flying and hit the far end target. Also getting perfect was Selina as she got up to the plate.
Meanwhile, Orion, Sugar, and Tilly all used physics and mathematical formulas to calculate the needed trajectory and force to shoot the arrows into the bullseye. Factoring wind speed, distance, and potential bird interference. They got high scores, but not exactly perfect.
But for every great performance, there were some duds. Like when Shaggie went up to plate, she got caught in the bow and all her arrows didn't even make it a few feet. Krystal who kept wondering how the bow worked, didn't know how to use it as she shot her arrows behind her. Another was Michael, who missed all his shots, save for his last one. Which Jacqueline helped aim from Michael's shoulders.
Along with these, sprinkled in the montage were players who focused more on style then scoring. For instance, Kairi, who shot her third arrow to the left, where the arrow bounced off a tree, off a window, through a juice box Andrius was sipping before he hit the target. Uma fired her shots from between her legs after she bent over with her butt in the air, some of the cast looking away as others smiled at the Latina's butt. Harris did a sashay routine before they shot their arrows at the target.
After the final camper Griff fired his shots, which were tipped with explosive chemicals and caused the target to explode. Eva called, "Alright maggots, we got a long day ahead of us so let's get right into our next event!"
Eva then oversaw the field, which now had a tennis court on top of it. On one end was Mitch holding a tennis racket, and on the other side was a tennis ball launcher "In this event, you must return as many balls as possible within 1 minute. Any questions?"
"Uh-" Mitch's question was interrupted by Eva's whistle, causing Perry to start firing at Mitch. Mitch yelped before he back handed an incoming tennis ball, he then returned another. Before Perry started sending a barrage of tennis balls at Mitch, which pelted him. The horror writer hit away as much as he could before he was buried under a mountain of balls. Mitch popped his head out before pulling out a voice recorder "Idea for a new novel, evil ball launchers kill everyone. Maybe get Serena Williams to play the lead in the movie." Mitch was then knocked out by a stray tennis ball. Perry scratches his head after the launcher buried Mitch, he then noticed the dial was set to 'widowmaker'. He rightfully turns the dial down to 'average'.
Eva pulls Mitch out of the pile of tennis balls as Jamie takes the stand, he takes off his hat which had a rolling go-pro camera on the rim. "Alright people I'm up next, and for each ball I return I will give one random subscriber 1000 dollars. Let's go." Jamie puts the hat back on as Perry aims the launcher at him, the launcher then sends balls at a normal rate. Jamie smiled as he whacked the balls back with his racket, counting how many subscribers he gives away money to.
Shaggie was eating from a crate of hot dogs with Skaddie, before she received a message from her phone. She gasps, "Like Skaddie look!" she shows her dog, "We just got 1000 dollars from SrMonster!"
"We're rillionares!" Skaddie flipped as she and Shaggie celebrated by eating hot dogs.
"Wait." Shaggie looks to Jamie who returned another ball, "Is that..."
We then see Paige panting as she kept trying to reach the balls that come at her, her suit covered in sweat with sweat stains under her arms. "I am not a sports girl." she huffed before she swung at a ball so hard, she lost her tennis racket, which hit Michael in the groin, causing him to keel over and Jacqueline to pat his head comfortingly. She then panicked and held up her briefcase as a tennis ball came at her face, and she managed to score a couple of more points as she used her briefcase to shield her and return some tennis balls.
Following her we see Ryo expertly returning a swarm of balls across the field, then we see Brodie flying around the court as he returned a number of tennis balls as well. Following him was Krystal, who jotted across the court like a jack rabbit returned all the balls sent at her with the efficiency and ferocity of Venus Williams. Orion following along as he admired the rich blonde, who saw Perry fire a series of tennis balls before she spun like a top as she fired back each last projectile.
Krystal: 12-time Jr Tennis Leauge Champion, 13 if not for making my opponent cry on the first round.
Following Krystal's domination on the court we had a montage of Shaggie getting pummled by balls, Harris dancing as they returned the balls on their turn, Uma also doing a like a dance during her turn but more seductively, Careen just standing as she sent back all the balls. Which from the stands looked like she didn't even move as her racket was still drooped by her hip, leaving the spectators to wonder if she's too fast for human perception. But Ryo saw differently, wheels spinning in his head.
Up next was Rose, who Perry was concerned about as he knew she was blind. But fired the tennis ball, but Rose smirked and expertly returned the serve. Perry hummed before fired again but to the left, and Rose quickly followed and returned that ball too. Rose then returned with a spinning back hand, which she followed up with a cartwheel forehand. Perry then sends a flurry of tennis balls at Rose, which the small girl returned with a flurry of moves. She senses one last ball which she returned with a spinning back kick and launches it at Perry's head. Who then ducks as he saw the ball shot down a tree.
After that we see a montage of the campers giving it their all in this challenge, with Post, Johnny, Karen, and Harris getting in some points during their turns. Ursula trying to return some follies, but the balls wounded up hitting her in the stomach. Which she let out a soft moan from, she covered her mouth as she saw Uma at the launcher aiming it at her. Ursula growled as Uma cheekily waved at her as Perry tried to pull her away, but Uma kept firing at her sister. Which Ursula returned some, others landed their marks. On her shoulder, knees, and in the girly bits, all of which resulted in a moan of satisfaction from Ursula. Much to the campers' confusion, disgust, or both.
Uma: I know my sister, not the first time she ever got pelted by balls~
Ursula: That filthy rotten whore! Now the others think I'm some crazy masochist!
Uma pops behind her.
Uma: But you are, little sis~
Ursula: YEAH, BUT I DON'T WANT OTHERS THINKING THAT! AND I'M ONLY 13 SECONDS YOUNGER THAN YOU! AND WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP GROPING MY BOOBS!
Jason was then shown sulking as he tries and fails to successfully return a single follie. He collapsed to his knees as he pants, "This... is why I hate... tennis."
Jason: We had a tennis program at this private school I went to that would teach me how to play Fight Beasts, which I don't really understand. Anyway, I strike the ball with all my might, and this guy hit the ball at one of the professors... Dr. Crawler. After that he forced me to play tennis with the captain of the tennis team, I forgot what his name was be it was a nightmare. Well, I beat him in a card game, so it all worked out.
After that we see a split screen of Greta and Roman taking their turns, both casually swinging their rackets but sending the balls hurling towards Perry at massive velocities. The silent intern was able to duck and dodge the oncoming projectiles as Roman and Greta sent their final balls through a number of trees.
After Roman joins the campers that had taken their turns, Greta goes up to him. "HAHA! YOU'RE QUITE THE STRONG ONE! NOT MANY TIMES I FIND A HUMAN THAT CAN MATCH ME IN BRUTE STRENGTH!" Greta stated as Roman stared her down, not remotely intimidated by her height and booming voice. "MAY GOD HAVE MERCY IF WE HAPPEN TO BE ON THE SAME TEAM DURING A PHYSICAL CHALLENGE! AHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHA!"
The challenge raged on as many of the players managed to score some high numbers, players such as Maybelle, Tilly, and Brodie used their boundless energy to keep up with the flurry of incoming tennis balls. Others like Orion, Sugar, and Franky who didn't have the kind of energy or athleticism as many others struggled to keep us and score roughly lower single digit numbers.
After this Eva blew her whistle, "Round 2 is over maggots!" she drops down and marches down the line up of campers "After two rounds, we have obvious favorites." Eva gave looks to Roman, Selina, and Rose. "While others, not as much." she narrows her eyes at Shaggies who was popping some Skaddie Snacks, which she lowered for her dog to fearfully eat. "Everyone take 5 for water while I set up round 3." she dismissed as the players huddled around Perry who gave out water bottles and protein bars.
During this intermission we see Selina wiping off the sweat from her forehead as her maid gives her a squirt of water, "You're doing exemplary as always Selina." Tilly says as she takes a bite of her protein bar. "I wouldn't be surprised if you wound up becoming one of the captains."
"You're sweet for saying that Til, but this challenge is far from over." Selina told her friend, "Anyone of these working class people can earn the title of team captain, heck. Maybe I can be captained by you Til."
"Really?" Tilly gasped.
"Who knows." Selina tosses her ruby red towel away, "But now's not the time to think about that, we need to stay at our best during these challenges if we hope to succeed. So we can pick the best working players for the most efficient team possible, no distractions."
"Selly! Baby! It's been soooooo long~" Selina twitched at the sultry voice as she felt a hand on her butt, which she slapped away as she saw the face of the perpetrator. The predatory grin of the raunchy Vegas vixen.
"Not long enough Uma." Selina groaned.
"Why Selly, don't you miss having your old friend Umy around?" Uma put her creepy little hands on Selina's shoulders as she struts around the woman of Irish Royal blood.
"I'm surprised you even recognized my mistress after a lengthy absence." Tilly said.
"Mistress you say?" Uma giggled as Selina quickly clarified.
"Professional Mistress, she works for me!"
"Trust me, I never forget a body like your mistress's." Uma licks Selina's neck, which the red head blushed and pushed the Latina away.
"Look Thurman, as decent as it is to see you. That part of me is long gone, I already got what I wanted from working at your club and it was a little fun, but now I wanna focus on my own goals. Okay?" Selina drags Tilly away as Uma stares hungrily at the two, with the Latina giving a wink to Tilly who clutches her skirt.
Not far from her, we see Jamie was sending texts on his phone as Shaggie, Skaddie, and Jason approached him. "Like dude, I couldn't help but notice you look an awful like this one YouTuber-"
"SrMonster!" Jason knocked Shaggie over "No way! I've heard about you! You're the guy that's always giving away tons of money to people! How are you not broke?"
Jamie lowly chuckles as he puts away his phone, "Well, it's not all that hard. I just saved a lot of the money I make from my videos, I've made a lot of them over the my career."
"But with all that money you have to have had spent some of it for yourself right? If I had that kind of cash I'd be settled for life, all the Fight Freaks cards I can ever want!" Jason exclaimed as Shaggie pulled herself up.
"And like, I'd probably spend it all on pizza and Skaddie snacks." Shaggie comments.
"Reah, Skaddie Snacks!" Skaddie adds.
"I mean sometimes, but I just really like giving money to those that really need it you know?" Jamie said as Johnny came up to him.
"So, you wouldn't mind lending me a couple dineros? I'm kind of in a bit of debt." Johnny rubbed his neck.
Jamie rolled his eyes, "How much?" Johnny hands him his receipt, Jamie raises an eyebrow "How did you garner this much money in debt?" Johnny nervously shifted his eyes to a certain Latina babe as she approached Archie.
"You look like you had a rough time, how about I... cheer you up a little?" Uma asked as she wiggled her brows. Which made Archie shuffle away.
Jamie follows his vision and hums, "Okay here's the deal. I'll pay off your debt." Johnny sighed in relief "IF." Johnny's breath hitched "You can beat either of these two in a game of their choosing." He points to Jason and Shaggie.
"Like what?" Shaggie wondered as Jason pulled out a fight disk (duel disk).
"Alright Johnny, time to get your game on!" Jason tosses Johnny a second duel disk which the model caught in his hands.
"Where did this come from?"
Meanwhile, Maybelle approached Karen. "HEYO! So you're a barista right? Man, must be a real 'grind'. Huh?" She joked as Karen stared at the girl with zero emotion on her face. "I bet your boss gives you a 'latte' of work!" And still nothing from the barista's face.
"Like I haven't heard those before." Karen droned.
Maybelle sees her name tag, "Ah, your name is Karen. Boy must suck how that name has a not so lovely association, I know like 3 Karens and they're all so nice and friendly. Anyway, I just want to say good luck in the challenge and I hope we can be teammates and the best of friends!" Maybelle slaps a sticker on Karen's shirt in the shape of a shooting star before skipping away. The barista just pulled out her phone and started scrolling through Twitter.
Good luck in that mind field.
Rounding off this break section we have Heinrich staring down with Perry, "So Perry the intern, you're probably wondering why I signed up for a little reality show. Well you see, it all started back in Gimmleshtoomp. I was competing on this Total Drama knock off series, Fully Fighting Peninsula. I even made it to the merge, where I was able to win a challenge. You know the one where we catch an animal, I got the bear. And with that I won a lavish feast with all the Gimmleshtoomp favorites. But come the elimination ceremony, you know was eliminated? Me! The guy who actually won that episode challenge and yet I wasn't granted immunity like every other challenge victor before hand. And I never appeared on reality TV again."
Perry listened to the backstory as he scratched his head.
"Until today, with my new 'DRAMA-INATOR'!" Heinrich holds up a ray gun that looks like it belonged on a space movie. "When I get this done I'll hit everyone with it to make them act like reality stars, you know how they yell at each other and flip furniture. They'll be so distracted by their own conflict I'll have a clear path to the 5 million, and one step closer to taking over the QUAD STATE AREA!" Heinrich punctuated his proclamation with an evil cackle.
Perry shrugs as a way to ask how he plans to do that.
"What, you know as well as I do that people take the word of celebrities as if they're god's wishes." Perry shrugs as to say 'fair', before pointing a finger at Heinrich in a threatening manner "Uh uh, your intern contract."
Perry pulls out said contract which he finds a section 'If thine intern strikes or directly eliminates a contestant, then thou shall be immediately punished'
"Haha, gotta love contractual traps. Don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to build a overly complicated trap that you easily break out of." Heinrich chuckled before he sees Perry smirking as he shows another piece of his contract.
'But during the duration of a challenge, go nuts.'
"Alright gold diggers! Breaks over! Time for the 100yd dash!" Eva calls as Perry smirks at Heinrich's stunned realization.
"Doomcough."
The players were back on the field, Eva announced "Alright mouth breathers, for the third event. 8 of you will round down the field at a time, the faster your time the higher the points you score. And to make things more challenging." Eva snaps her fingers, which prompts Perry to push a button to activate 5 tennis ball launchers on the field. 1 at every 20 yards. "First batch up, Shaggie, Franky, Andrius, Jason, Aoi, Paige, Grace, and Brian!"
The eight went up to the starting line, Jason sending Johnny a referential gesture as the model stood there gobsmacked "That's game!"
"I have no idea what happened." Johnny let out as Jamie slipped a 20 in his shirt and patted his chest for trying. Which wouldn't make a dent in bill he has on his head.
"Alright group A, in 3... 2..."
Just as Eva blew the whistle, Franky held up two giant spiders against Shaggie's and Andrius' faces, "BLAAAAGGGGH!"
"AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!" Shaggie, Skaddie, and Andrius cried as they sprinted down the field frightened for their lives, avoiding all the balls launched at them. Franky cackled as he ran down the track ducking and weaving between the projectiles with Grace, Jason, and Aoi following suit. Brian and Paige were in the back, with the joker getting hit with balls and the lawyer using her briefcase as a shield.
Brian panted as he and Paige slowed their jog as they made it to the finish line where the others were waiting, except Shaggie, Skaddie, and Andrius as they were still running. "Oh man, those guys make this so easy!" Franky laughed.
"I gotta start working out more." Brian said as he collapsed.
Eva looked at their respective times, "Well I'll be, the scaredy cat triplets broke my high school track record. Looks like some people are climbing up the ranks."
Shaggie: Like, me and Skaddie are always being chased when me and my friends come upon some mystery with a masked villain dressed as scary things.
Skaddie: Ghosts, demons, witches, redditers. You name
Shaggie: Its also what got me on my high school track team, like I even won gold in the nationals.
In the next race, the kids got ready to ready to run. Tilly next to Selina, where the maid just discovered Selina had changed into a tight fitting red t shirt, red shorts, and red running shoes in the span of a 2 minutes. "How did you change into your work out clothes in short time?"
The red head looked to her maid, "I'm a woman of many talents."
And with the sound of a whistle the kids had ran down the field with Brodie deep in the back, "Curse my tiny legs!" He cried.
Greta roared as she plowed through the barrage of tennis balls, with Sugar clinging to her like a human shield. Maybelle followed by the Amazon like girl with a few acrobatic moves to dodge the projectiles. Johnny ducking and shielding his money maker, "Not the face not the face not face!" He cried until he got clocked in the Rosewoods, holding his bruised balls as he collapsed over the finish line.
The third group had Heinrich who Perry had a target for most of the early tennis ball launchers, causing him to fall fairly behind. Harris meanwhile did some slick dance moves as they maneuvered through the swarm and crossed the field, as well as Uma did as she implored more provocative moves. Ryo, Linka, and Linus all together as they ran through the barrage, like they were dodging bullets during a chase sequence.
The fourth group of racers did more or less average, except Rose who ducked and shimmied through every projectile coming her way. There was also Post who used a combination of break dance moves to dodge the projectiles, Orion also ducked a lot of the incoming projectiles.
In the final group of 4, when the race started the kids started running. They were stopping and starting as they waited for the balls to pass by, after some bobbing and weaving Archie crossed the finish line. He looked back, "Wow, I actually managed to take first." He then sees Roman sitting in a foldable chair with a half eaten sandwich in his hands "Figures."
Eva looks at Roman's time stunned, "What? How did he- that's faster than the wimps time." She types on a tablet as she organizes the times of all the campers. With Roman, Shaggie, and Andrius as the top three runners of this event.
Michael pants as he crosses the finish line, holding his ribs as he dropped to his knees. He sees Jacqueline waiting for him with snow cones "Jacqueline, how did you get here?"
"I went around. Snow cone?" She held out a cone.
"I could use one." Michael grabbed the red one as Jacqueline licked the lime one.
Sugar: According to my calculations the best performing campers at the moment are Roman, Rose, Selina, and the detective trio of Ryo and the Mathews twins. These guys are making sure number one is a fight for the finish.
The 4th event was about to begin, with all the contestants in their swimming attire. "For the fourth event, you will each swim all the way across the lake, and tag the boardwalk where Perry is waiting for you. This is a two person event, but don't just race your opponent. Race the clock as the best time gets the best points for this event. Perry, if you please pick the fists two racers from the jar."
Perry reaches into the pickle jar and pulls out two popsicle sticks which he hands to Eva.
Eva reads the names, "Andrius and Brodie."
The two smallest players in the game shuffle down to the diving boards that were set up for this race, Andrius wearing a white pair of swim trunks and Brodie wearing a bee patterned one piece swim onesie. "Good luck man." Brodie said to Andrius.
"Thanks, you too." Andrius replied before Eva blew her whistle, both boys dove into the water and swam like the wind.
Brodie swam freestyle, and he saw Andrius rocketing across the lake with a butterfly stroke. "How... does he... move so... fast?" Brodie wondered as Andrius found Perry at the dock as he stopped his time, Andrius smirks as he shows Andrius his time of 14 seconds. This made Andrius look away with a blush as he pulls himself out of the water.
Brodie soon enough made it to the dock, Perry stops the clock as Andrius helps Brodie onto the dock. "Dude, you were like a rocket across the lake. You in your school swim team?"
Andrius looks away as he and Brodie went down the dock as Perry gave his boss the thumbs up for race 2, "Not really."
Eva holds up two new popsicle sticks, "Sugar and Rose you're up."
Sugar wore a green one piece as she went up to one of the diving boards, she saw Rose was slow to come onto her own diving board as she wore a red swim shirt and black shorts. "You okay?"
"Don't worry about me." Rose said as she readied to dive.
"Alright on your marks... and..." Eva blew her whistle. The girls dove in, with both girls swimming across the lake. Rose a little frantic as she made her strokes, she and Sugar were able to finish as Rose sighed in relief as she pulled herself onto the dock.
"Finally a flat surface." Rose got up.
"I take you're not a fan of water?" Sugar asked Rose, they went down the dock.
"Not particularly." Rose replied.
Griff and Kairi then went up to the diving boards, the taller camper still in his orange suit wore black trunks and black swim goggles. The pirate enthusiast wore a skull bikini top and black bikini bottoms, "Arg, best of luck in this race Captain Griffin." She said.
"Much appreciated lass." Griff replied before they jumped in swimming. Kairi looked almost natural in the water as she cleared the lake in quick fashion, with Griff his wet suit started sticking to his skin.
Griff: This would be much easier if I can complete this serum that makes one breathe underwater.
After the race was over, Griff stepped away from the others faced away from the camera as he unzipped his suit and took in a breath "Oh thank god, gets harder to breathe in this thing drenched."
"Oh my gosh, you guys are all so cute!" Kairi pulls Rose, Andrius, Sugar, and Brodie into a group hug, "So tiny like me!" The pirate gasped, "We should be a secret alliance!"
"Not interested." Rose walked away but was pulled back when Kairi announced.
"Just like my crew back home, everyone always picked on us because we were so short. But I got the last laugh when we stormed their houses and pillaged their valuables!" Kairi stated. "Take that Tiffany Finestone!"
"I don't know who that is, but an alliance wouldn't hurt too much." Sugar said as she took note of the group of five.
"If we are, we should have signals. Like... BZZZZZZZZz." Brodie ran around flapping his hands and buzzing, "Which means someone is in trouble."
"Love it!" Kairi stated.
"Uh I don't-"
"Alright bug out!" Kairi flipped away, as did Brodie while Rose and Sugar walked in opposite directions. Leaving Andrius in confusion and disillusionment.
"What just happened?"
Kairi: Always great to make new friends, a little band of thieves in these trying times! These scallywags are perfect, Rosie the Blind is an expert fighter, Sugar Foot is our group's trusty brain, Andry the Wind is our little speed demon, and Brodie Bee is our humble mascot keeping our spirits bright! Try and break up this fav five!
Brodie: Eeeeeeee! A friend group! This is so cool!
Rose: Whatever, let the girl pretend to be a captain. So long as I don't have to wear a dress.
Coming up to the dock was Grace and Karen, the former a red flannel one piece piece and Karen a cyan colored one. "Nice race." Grace said as she lightly jabbed Karen's shoulder, who looked at Grace before pulling herself onto the dock.
Ryo and Linus then got up to dive, Ryo in a white swim shirt and black trunks, Linus the other way around. Ryo staring down at the lake, Linus looked to Ryo "You ready to swim in the lake Jaxon drowned in?"
"It's surreal, later tonight we must investigate further." Ryo said as he looked deep into the depths of the lake. With a blow of the whistle they were off, but the whole time Linus had a vision. From his and Linka's childhood, and is if by some weird twin myth she did too.
Both Linka and Linus were playing kid detective in a cabin in the woods, they heard the door open. "Dad!" They ran before Linus felt a thud.
Linus groans and holds his head as he found himself at the end of the lake, "What the?"
"You okay Liney?" Ryo asked, "You seemed distracted."
"Uh, I don't know." Linus told him as he and Ryo climbed out of water, "Gah my head." Linus rubs his head as Perry gives him a map of the camp ground, he points to a tent with a medical cross beside the mess hall. "Oh, thanks. But I think I'll be okay."
Linka gets up to race, Post right beside her. The girl wore a light blue one piece and the young man wore black trunks, Linka was still reeling from her shared vision with her brother. "What was that?"
"You okay Link?" Post asked.
"Um, I think so."
REEEEEEEE
They dove in, and immediately as soon as Linka swam she got another vision, which effected Linus as well.
Little Linka and Linus were swimming in the lake of the abandoned campgrounds, both then saw up on the dock. "Daddy!"
Linka gasped before she saw the dock post and stopped before she tagged it. Linka sighed before Post reached the dock too, "That was weird." Linka pulled herself into the dock and ran over to her brother. "Linus I think something isn't right."
"I know sister, I saw the visions too." Linus told her.
"Visions?" Ryo wondered.
"Or maybe... flashbacks?" Linka questioned, Linus shrugged.
Ryo thought to himself, 'Could this have some connection to their past? Maybe this and the camp mystery are related. This requires further investigation after this challenge.'
Back at the start Shaggie and Paige are about to start, Shaggie in a green swim shirt and trunks, Paige a grey one piece swimsuit. "Like good luck during the challenge Paige." Shaggie said.
"Thanks Shag."
"BRAAAAAAAAAAAAHGGGGGGHGHGGGG!" Roared a ghostly scuba man, which freaked the girls into the water and they swam away, the scuba man cackled before he pulled off his helmet to show Franky's face. "I swear its just too easy."
"Franky!" Eva screamed in the prankster's face, "Get back in the crowd until I call on you!"
Franky scoffed, "And why should I-"
GRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The force of Eva's dinosaur roar sent Franky's scuba suit away revealing his red trunks and scrawny body. Franky blinked as Eva glared at him before he shuffled away.
After Shaggie had garnered another fast time in a racing event, and Paige finished the race with a not so stellar time. Up next was Uma and Ursula, the sisters went up to dive. Where Ursula, in a tight fitting black one piece, growled at Uma who-
"Any particular reason you neglected to wear the swimsuit I know you brought." Ursula demanded.
Uma smiled as she shook her butt, "I find it a hinderance, besides I don't see anyone else complaining."
Eva growled, "I'll let it slide since this your first day. But no more warnings, Thurman." Uma giggled before she and Ursula went off, Eva groaned as she pinched the bridge of her nose "Of course they had to pick one of those girls."
Watching from the sidelines Mitch shook his head as he wrote down in a notebook, "That girl is definitely a goner if this was a horror series." His swim attire a white swim shirt and black trunks with a red blood splatter pattern.
"What?" Johnny asked as he turned to face him. He wore green trunks.
"Statistics show that 60% of the time the whore characters or attractive and horny are the early deaths." Mitch said, "Which spells bad news for you dude."
Johnny scoffed, "Yeah right that's just in movies." He looked back to the girls swimming, and saw Uma's backstroke. "Uh just in case." He shuffled away for a minute.
Time passed as the races went on, the last two campers Aoi and Orion finished off the event. Eva tallied up the results, "Alright kids, go to the mess hall and get some of your energy back as we set up the final event. It's gonna be a big one."
At the mess hall, DJ and Nathan handed out sports drinks and healthy snacks. During this rest bit Post was writing something down on his notepad as he was approached by Harris, "DoI since a fellow musician?" Harris asked as they wore a musical note print full body swimsuit.
"Well hopefully." Post said, "Sorry I didn't get your name Mr-"
"Harris, and for future reference I go by the pronouns they/them/their." Harris informed him.
"Oh my apologies." Post said.
"Eh it's fine, forgive and forget all that jazz." Harris said, "Anyway, you're a rap guy right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I do a little rap here and there myself, along with country, k-pop, acapella, etc." Harris listed off.
"Wow you got quite the range don't you?" Post wondered.
"You can say that." Harris waved off, "Anyway, as a fellow music enthusiast. Perhaps a little 'collaboration' is in order?"
"Well, I'm flattered but I don't think my style is what you think of." Post says as he shows Harris his lyrics for a new song.
Harris hums as they read it, "I see, a piece about tolerance and unity of all creeds. Well I'm afraid this is only a longing wish for a fantasy that may never pass." They toss the notes back to Post.
"Maybe, but I have to at least try. That's the first step for a better world." Post said.
"Good luck with that good sir, but trust me. No matter how much good will you spread, this world will still be rot with hate." Harris cynically said, making Post blink before Harris changed their tune "Tootles." They cha-cha'ed away.
Elsewhere Mitch and Franky were walking through the crowd, "I still think you should lay off this types of pranks, pretty sure you helped the girl with the dog and small glasses kid get top times in the race events."
"So they got a boost, they should be thanking me." Franky waved off, "Relax Mitchy these aren't hurting anyone." They run into Careen who was standing off against a wall in a white one piece. "Yo Ree Ree! Ain't this a surprise." Careen softly lifted up her head.
"Careen?" Mitch wondered as he got a good look, "Oh my, sorry I didn't recognize you. I thought you didn't want to audition." His words made Careen shift her eyes away.
"Come on Ree, you know you can let your guard down around us." Franky placed his arm around her frame.
Careen pushed Franky off her, without moving her arms as Franky was launched onto a table. Careen raises an eyebrow to Mitch who sighs.
"Well, he does make inspiration for the jerk characters. And he does have experience in practical looking gore." Mitch replied to her silent question.
"Gah, you broke my arm!" Franky cried as he held his arm.
"Oh my gosh are you hurt?" Sugar asked as she went over to him.
"Extremely, does it look bad?" Franky showed her the damage, which saw two broken off bones sticking out.
"GAH! I'll get the nurse!" Sugar ran off.
Franky chuckled as he pulled off the fake wound, "Tada!" He presented to the author and silent girl.
"Well you definitely have a future in special effects." Mitch said. "That is if you don't get incarcerated for murder."
"I told you the principal's death wasn't my fault!" Franky exclaimed.
Orion came up to Maybelle as she was talking up Roman as he was bouncing a tennis ball against a wall. Or as it's executed here, "Hi, I'm Maybelle. But you can call me the girl of your dreams~" The twin brother in a pair of red trunks and a white swim shirt, the twin sister in a rainbow-colored one-piece swimsuit, and Roman in a pair of black trunks.
Roman didn't even acknowledge the words coming from the girl as Orion stepped up to his sister, "May, I got some confidential intel."
"In a minute Ory." Maybelle turned to Orion for a split second before turning back, "So as I was-" she realized Roman had walked away. Looking around before sighing, "Never mind, so what did you find? A way to summon vampires?"
Orion shows her a piece of paper, "During the swim race, I found this underneath the dock." Maybelle sees that the paper had a drawing of a pair of big red balls... where an arrow was pointing at a ring that held the second ball.
"What do you think this means?" Maybelle asked.
"I have some theories." Orion said as he slips the paper under his hat, "But keep this to yourself, there are a lot of shifty people here."
"Oh come on bro, these people aren't that sus." Maybelle shook her head before Orion showed her Heinrich and Griff laughing maniacally as they did deadly experiements, Johnny lurking into a bathroom with a magazine, and Uma going up to Grace with a perverted look on her face. "Okay maybe you have a fair point."
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
"ALL HANDS ON DECK MAGGOTS, TIME FOR THE FINAL EVENT OF THE DAY!" Eva called into a loud speaker, "THIS IS FOR ALL THE MARBLES, NO EXCUSES! NOW GET OUT HERE!" everyone ran out of the mess hall to see what Eva has in store for them.
(commerical break)
