Hey guys, Chapter 4 is finally up. Wow I had NO idea on what to write for this episode…I don't know why? Well I hope you like it. =]
Some Brick x Jo in this chapter!
Also I'd like to thank Always Ashley for your helpful critique =] The reason why I haven't gone into details with the challenges is because, I wanted to write things that you wouldn't see on TV, like character interactions etc. You'd already know what was happening so I didn't want to rewrite it again. Thanks and I hope you and everyone else understand why I do that Dx But I'll try to include some more things x].
Dakota couldn't believe it. She was suppose to be on camera with the other contestants, but here she was, cleaning the bathroom toilets.
"Eww is the water suppose to turn green like that?" She asked in disgust.
I hate Chris Dakota thought in her head as she scrubbed the green, moldy mess away.
"Good Morning new intern!" Chris said walking in to the bathrooms.
"Its three in the morning!" Dakota yelled.
"Its still morning." Chris said and shrugged. "Any way, hurry up on those toilets! I need you to wake the campers up for their challenge today. They are going to be spooked out when I tell them what's it about!"
Dakota rolled her eyes wishing she could dump his head in the toilet.
He then started to laugh evilly before stopping and looking at her.
"Hey who said you could stop scrubbing? I want those toilets to sparkle!" Chris exclaimed before leaving her.
"Correction: I REALLY hate Chris!" Dakota said as she continued to clean the toilets.
All the contestants were sleeping ever so soundly until they were awoken by a loud horn. They all ran outside screaming until they realized it was just Chris and Dakota. Chris had explained their new challenge and the teams were off to find their clues.
The Toxic Rats found their first clue hidden in between a bear trap that Lightning painfully got his arm caught in. He hands it to Dawn and she starts to read it but the Mutant Maggots catches up to them. Jo announces to her team to secretly hide in a bush so the other team can lead them to their first souvenir.
"Inside a knot is a nest…your souvenir lives with a pest. Find Polaris to travel North West. Polaris is the North Star!" Dawn said reading the note.
"The North Star is right there so this way is North West. There's a path!" Scott said to his team and they run forward.
Dawn runs with her team as they tried to find their clue. She was busy running behind Sam when suddenly she felt herself being wrapped up and lifted off the ground. She tried to scream but she was pulled away to fast.
Moments later, Dawn saw that she was brought into a cave. She moved her head and saw that she was laying in a huge spider web.
"What am I doing here?" Dawn said aloud.
A loud hiss made her jump and she turned to see the mutant spider in front of her. Instead of being scared, Dawn felt sorry for it.
"You poor thing. The nuclear waste has messed up your inner true self. Your not yourself anymore, now are you?" Dawn asked.
The spider gave a look of shock before it hissed again and ran off, leaving Dawn alone in the dark cave.
The Mutant Maggots were currently running ahead of "what was left" of the Toxic Rats. After losing their own teammate Zoey, Jo decided to just leave her behind. Mike however wasn't going to rest until her found her.
"Zoey! Where are you Zoey?!" Mike cried.
Jo slapped her head and stopped in front of him. "Will you quit yelling for her! She's gone!" Jo said angrily.
"No! Zoey has to be out here. I mean, she can't just disappear like that…can she?" Mike asked pushing past her. "Zoey!"
Jo rolled her eyes while Brick became more frightened.
"D-Do you think one of us could be next?" Brick stammered, looking around nervously.
"Why would you think that?" Cameron asked.
"Well I looked over at the other team and all I saw was Sam and Scott! Do you think something happened to Dawn and Lightning?" Brick asked.
"No way. Scott told us that they were just scouting ahead! Don't wimp out over little stuff like that!" Jo said to him.
"But-" Brick was about to protest until he heard something snap behind a bush.
"What was that?!" Brick asked timidly hiding behind Jo.
Jo rolled her eyes again. She walked over to the bush and a small squirrel hopped out.
"Your afraid of this thing?" Jo said smirking.
"W-Well I thought…" Brick trailed off.
"You thought what? That it was some kind of mutated monster? Ha!" Jo said laughing.
The squirrel suddenly growled at them and started to shoot lasers from its eyes.
"Run!" Anne Maria yelled and they all ran away as fast as they could.
They finally arrived at the pet cemetery and were out of breath.
"Welcome to the Wawanakwa pet cemetery!" Chris said over the loudspeaker.
"We're first string bean! Go get the clue!" Jo said pushing Cameron to the coffin.
He opens it and it shows a paper with numbers on it. Specifically three sixes and a eighteen were colored red.
"Aren't three sixes suppose to be evil?" Cameron asked.
"Lets fan out and look for numbers!" Jo ordered to her team.
"Uhm…y-you mean by ourselves?" Brick asked nervously.
"Yeah. Unless your scared." Jo said with hands on her hips.
"I'm not scared! Its just…there are some really weird things in this forest." Brick said looking around. "Like that squirrel we saw earlier!"
"Oh come on Sergeant Obviously Scared of Nothing! That squirrel couldn't kill a fly! And I only ran because I wanted to get to the pet cemetery first…" Jo exclaimed and started to walk away from them. "So get to work!"
Brick walked backwards towards the first tombstone, looking around incase anything tried to attack him.
"You can do this Brick! This is exactly what your cadet training trained you for!" Brick said trying to boost his confidence but it didn't work. He heard a wolf like howl and he became more nervous. He continued to back up until he felt the ground disappear from under him and he fell into darkness.
Jo was busy looking at another tombstone that read, "Here lies Billy the Goldfish"
She raised an eyebrow.
"Who the heck would bury a fish?" She asked before she heard someone screaming. She ran to where they were and saw that Brick had fallen into a grave.
"Ahh! Help! Help! Too dark! Too dark!" Brick screamed.
The other teammates also heard his screaming and crowded in front of the grave.
"Brick take my hand!" Jo said to him, holding her hand out. Brick grabbed it and she pulled him out of the grave.
He came out gasping for air. "So dark, so dark-" He said with hands on his head before Jo slapped him three times.
"Pull. Yourself. Together!" Jo told him. She gave him a look of symphony before he started to pee his pants.
"Uh…it was wet down there and I landed on my crotch!" Brick lied. "I got to dry off!" He said before running away.
Jo shook her head. "Its sad because he's afraid of nothing!" Jo said.
"Everyone has there own type of fears Jo" Cameron said.
"Yeah. Don't act like you don't have any!" Mike said.
Jo was about to protest until they all heard him screaming again.
"Brick?" Cameron said.
They ran towards the sound but saw that he wasn't there.
"He was just here a second ago." Cameron said.
Anne Maria gasped. "Where did he go?"
"Ah, well. Two words; deadweight." Jo said hashly.
"Hey! Brick may not be attractive in any way, but he is still a person." Anne Maria said defensively.
"Yeah! Your cutthroat attitude stinks." Mike concluded.
"Its called a winning attitude. Get used to it. Or get out of the way." Jo said before leaving them.
They exchanged puzzled glances at her, then at each other.
Jo was busy thinking to herself. She didn't really mean all those things. She just couldn't let her team see the soft side of her especially after she had saved Brick. She actually felt sorry for him. The way he was so afraid just didn't match up with his tough military getup.
But that was the only reason why I helped him! Because I felt sorry for him being such a baby about stupid stuff! Jo concluded in her head. It wasn't because she was starting to care a little for him or that she was a little worried about where he had gone to.
Jo shook the thoughts from her head and went back to her team, who had just found the next clue.
Meanwhile inside the cave, Dawn, Lightning and Zoey were still caught in the large spider web.
"Man, this Sha-sucks!" Lightning says.
"I know. But don't worry, I'm sure the others will save us! I hope…" Zoey said unsurely.
"You have nothing to fear Zoey. But not to long later you will feel hurt and even betrayed! I'm so sorry, its not your fault." Dawn said looking sincere.
"What? What are you saying? What is she saying!" Zoey asked looking up at her, then at Lightning.
"Lightning don't know. Lightning says that she is one creepy girl!" Lightning said shaking his head.
Zoey nods a little before looking back at Dawn and sees that she is calmly meditating.
"How can she be so calm about this?" Zoey asked herself.
Later on, Jo and Cameron had managed to get caught by the spider and was about to eat both Cameron and Zoey. Hearing Zoey's cries, Mike was able to snap out of his Vito personality and save them and Brick. Brick was forced to win it for his team while disobeying his cadet honor. However it was Sam and Scott who ended up winning it for their team. During the elimination ceremony, Brick volunteered to be eliminated but Chris surprised the team by making him apart of the Toxic Rats. Thus started a whole new rivalry between Brick and Jo. But unfortunately a whole new conflict between Mike, Zoey and Anne Maria. With no one taking the Hurl of Shame, Dakota was forced to by Chris.
Cameron went to bed feeling pretty happy with himself. He had yelled at Anne Maria and "Vito" earlier, Jo even complemented him and he was cured of his fear of spiders!
Maybe I'm finally changing for the better! And who knows? Maybe I won't even need my bubble when I get home! Cameron said in his head as he slid inside his sleeping bag. He was just about to close his eyes when he suddenly he heard noises outside.
"Huh?" Cameron said.
He looked around the cabin and saw nothing. He shrugged and closed his eyes. He then heard the sound again but this time it was a little louder.
"Did you guys hear that?" Cameron whispered to his teammates but they were fast asleep.
Cameron looked around nervously before his sleeping bag was thrown off of him.
"Ah-" He started to scream but something covered his mouth and dragged him out of the cabin. He was brought all the way to the dock of shame. His mouth was removed and Cameron screamed as loud as he could.
"Shh! We don't want to wake everyone up!" A person said.
Cameron looked up to see that it was Izzy.
"Ahh! Izzy!" Cameron said cowardly.
"That's right ahah!" Izzy said laughing evilly.
"What do you want with me?" Cameron asked, shaking in fear.
"Hmm oh nothing. I was happy you stopped me from eating you and your friends alive! I guess I got way into that spider thing huh? Ahaha" Izzy laughed before doing a handstand.
"You know that blonde girl said something earlier to me. That touched my heart y'know? So I captured Chef!" She said landing on her feet and pointed to a boat in the water.
Cameron looked in horror to see that Chef was tied up in several ropes and he was glaring at him.
"Help me boy! This girl is crazy! Call the police, the Navy, Air Force, aliens even! Just get me outta here!" Chef yelled and struggled to get out of the ropes Izzy tied him in.
"Silly Chef. You'll never get out that way! Besides, I'm apart of the Navy! Remember that time I got so smart? Well they made me apart of their team. Too bad I led them to the wrong military base and they were ambush and wow that really didn't go well…" Izzy trailed off.
Cameron and Chef exchanged glances.
"So anyway I hid here! How stupid are they to not know that I would come back here right? Yeah, so later on Chris gave me that awesome spider costume to scare you guys and well here I am! Haha." Izzy said and jumped on the boat.
"Well see ya kid! I'm off to travel the seven seas in hope to find the lost city of Atlantis! I heard it was a myth but nothings a myth to Izzy! Nothing…!" Izzy said looking up dreamily into the sky.
Chef mouthed the words "help me" and Izzy started the boat.
"Bye! Bye! See ya! Tell Chris not to open his closet! Ahaha!" Izzy called before speeding away.
Cameron looked dumbfounded and sat up.
"I saw nothing." He simply said and walked back to the cabin.
Holy cow, this chapter is finally done! You know I was VERY skeptical about this Chapter but I liked how it turned out. And sorry for that random summarizing in here. I was just too lazy to really write that whole last scene. But you got to see Izzy in the end! Also no Chef's were harm in the writing of this fourth Chapter. And don't worry! Chef gets back to Wawanakwa. How? Uh I'll leave that for you to decide! Well I hoped you like this Chap cuz I sure did ^^Pce x]
