Chapter 3: WEAKLINGS!
This is a bit of a random, violent, odd chapter. But that's because I let Gabby write most of it. Because she's awesome. And anyway, you better like it, we stayed up until 2:30 A.M.!
Chris stood on the Dock of Shame. In the background, 36 angry-looking teens and 1 happy teen walked towards the "Gym", which was a large, run down looking building on the other side of the island. Chris looked back at them momentarily, then looked towards the camera, smiling, as usual, very sadistically.
"Last time on Total Drama Island." Chris began.
"Season 2." Laila's voice came out of nowhere. Chris looked around, confused, then back towards the camera.
"The 37 teens got settled at camp. Vanesa was injured by Dante's car, and Krm's bazooka somehow malfunctioned." The screen cut to show Vanesa getting an uppercut to her jaw, and then Krm's bazooka going off and nearly destroying the Monte Carlo Z34.
"Then we, er, Laila decided to get revenge on the campers who broke her loudspeaker by forcing them to all lift weights in a Survival of the Fittest challenge. Little do they all know that the actual challenge is tomorrow! Yay! More torture! Ahem, I mean, aw, poor campers. Anyway, who will destroy the ceiling and traumatize almost every single person on the island? Who will be completely oblivious to what goes on and bench press 250 pounds? And who will hide away in Dante's car? Find out next on Total. Drama. Island."
"Season 2."
The awesome title sequence plays.
The gym is freezing. That was the thought on everybody's mind as they stepped into the recently renovated building. Blue plaid carpet covered the floor, minus the bleachers, which were alone (and looked very weak.) There were 3 groups of weight-lifting sets, and standing in the middle of them all was Chef Hatchet. But what in the world was he wearing? It looked like the typical personal trainer outfit, along with the whistle, the sweatbands, and socks pulled up way too high, but the fact that it was about 5 sizes too small – and the fact that he was also wearing a fake nose/glasses/mustache mask getup– was creeping everyone out.
"Why?" Nikki suddenly asked, breaking everyone out of their shock.
"Because you people broke my loudspeaker!" Laila came out of nowhere, followed by Gabby and Sebastian. "And because of that, I'm making you do something I'm sure will piss you all off." Laila was smiling, but there was something in her eyes that creeped everybody out. Everybody exchanged nervous glances.
"Weight lifting! But don't worry, nobody will be voted off. The actual challenge is tomorrow. By then you'll know who's weak and who's strong, and you can pick who you want for the challenge!" Laila was still smiling, and everybody began to groan and whine. Raphael mumbled something about the challenge being a waste of time. Laila somehow heard this, and quickly retaliated by pulling a sack of potatoes out of nowhere and throwing one very hard at Raphael. It hit him on the head and he fell backwards. The people on the Killer Marmosets all looked at their fallen teammate, who sat up, rubbing his head.
"What was that for?!" Raphael shouted. Laila glared at him.
"This challenge is not a waste of time! NOW GO TO THE MACHINES!" Laila shouted.
Everyone quickly walked to the weight-lifting sets, not wanting to die from potatoes.
15 long, torturous minutes later.
"What do you think you're doing, boy? Can't you see everyone else is doing better than you?" Chef Hatchet was screaming at Allister, who had yet to lift 20 pounds. Almost everybody else, excluding Allister, Raphael, Tyson, and several others. This was how it was for all the teams, actually. Laila and Gabby had gotten bored with watching and were now screaming at the kids who couldn't lift more than 20 pounds. Gabby, it seemed, was the most upset.
"GOD! YOU PEOPLE!" Gabby shouted. Turning to the Flaming Chickens, she kicked the nearest team member on the head. Hard. And that team member just happened to be Tyson, who glared at her and was about to fight before several people dragged him away. "YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!"
Laila sighed and looked at her friend in concern.
"Now Gabby..." She began. But then she looked at the Flaming Chickens, who, if all they were lifting was combined, was only about 300 pounds. And then there was the fact half of them weren't doing anything. "YOU GUYS ARE LAZY!!" She shrieked, mad at the team.
Dante, who wasn't really doing anything himself, was laughing. Suddenly he stopped, trying to remember something.
"Oh wait, what team am I on again?" He asked, looking around.
"THIS ONE!!" Gabby screamed, grabbing the sack of potatoes and throwing one very hard at Dante, who fell onto the ground.
"Team potatoes?" Laila asked, quietly pulling out her cell phone to dial 911.
Gabby suddenly smiled evilly and maniacally. She walked over to Laila and quietly whispered something, which only a few people nearby heard.
"I got an idea." She whispered, with the slightest hint of insanity in her voice. Laila shook her head in mild disapproval. Sebastian looked at the two, suddenly very scared at what the pyromaniacal weapon expert was thinking of. Gabby walked over to Chef, laughing.
"Hehe" she was laughing as she walked over. "Chef, can I handle this little challenge?" she asked, insanity in her eyes.
Chef stared at her.
"Um…sure." He tried to smile, but even the ex-Navy Seal was frightened. Gabby jumped up happily and ran to the storage closet. Everybody stared in shock and fear. Gabby quickly emerged with a blow horn, her firecrackers, paint gun, grenades, and a few missiles, and then proceeded to scream as loud as she could.
"SO GUESS WHAT, YOU WEAKLINGS?! I'M IN CHARGE NOW!..."
Laila stared, with a blank look.
"For a while." She mumbled. Gabby looked back for a second, and then faced everyone.
"FOR A WHILE!" She added, still screaming at the top of her lungs.
Chris cleared his throat, mildly confused. "Um, Gabby? What are you doing?"
Gabby looked at him, very frustrated. "BACK OFF!" She threw one of her missiles towards Chris, and it exploded only inches away, covering the host in ashes. Gabby then ran to the center of the three teams. "ANYONE NOT DOING MORE THAN 20 POUNDS WILL SUFFER!" she screamed. Laila quietly walked towards the storage closet, and emerged with a flamethrower. Seeing the frightened look on Sebastian's face, she mouthed "Just in case."
The three teams quickly put more weights on. Gabby sniffed and walked over to a frightened looking Spicer.
"how many pounds you doing?" she shouted, right into his face.
Spicer shuddered "25." Gabby stared at him in disgust.
"TOO SMALL!" she screamed. She then proceeded to shoot the ceiling with the paintball gun. Spicer stared in confusion.
"What the…you missed!" he shouted. Gabby completely ignored him. She continued shooting the ceiling until there was no more ammunition. She sighed and looked back at Spicer.
"I was not aiming at you..." She said, and pointed up. There was a perfect circle in the gym ceiling where Gabby had shot it. She threw a fire cracker at the circle and quickly backed away, still smiling.
Spicer realized the situation he was in and was trying to get out, but while Gabby was shooting the ceiling, Laila had tied him down, all the while mumbling that she wasn't getting paid enough for this.
If you had happened to be on the roof at the time, you would see that there was a large bucket filled with glue, Chef's cooking, paint, and a bowling pin. Why there was a bowling pin, nobody really knew.
The circle in the ceiling, due to the firecrackers and the paintball gun, broke and the bucket filled with all the random stuff fell on Spicer.
"See Laila, I told you it the gallon of glue, paint, and the bowling pin would come in handy!" Gabby shouted after a moment of silence. Everybody was now staring at her in shock.
"What about Chef's cooking? Why'd you put that in the bucket?" Laila asked.
"Well, Sebastian wouldn't eat it because he says it's 'disgusting and inedible' but that's because he's a wimp when it comes to food." Gabby explained.
"But still, what did Spicer ever do to you and why did you pay me 50 grand to tie him up?"
"Well, none of the other people would do. They all have connections, are rich, or were actually doing decent." Gabby glanced over at Vanesa while she said this. Vanesa seemed oblivious to the entire challenge. "And Spicer was the only one I didn't like." She added. Laila shook her head.
If Gabby and Laila had looked up from their argument, they would have seen almost all the teens begin to leave the gym, along with Chris and Chef. Four had stayed, however. Krm had decided to be nice and untie Spicer, who was covered in paint, glue, and some unidentifiable "food." Dante was screaming at Vanesa to pay attention to what had just happened. Vanesa suddenly looked up, saw the mess – and Gabby, who was still holding her array of weapons, and Laila, who was holding a flamethrower and now seemed to be trying to kill Gabby with it – and ran out of the gym, knocking over Spicer, who had just gotten up. Dante ran after her, screaming that she was not allowed to hide in his car.
oOo
Inside the Flaming Chicken's cabin – Girls.
"Okay, now that was scary!" Katy shouted, looking towards the door as if she expected Gabby to burst through at any moment. All the girls were sitting on the floor in a circle, talking about the recent challenge.
"I think we should probably get off the island now. I mean, we're trapped here with a psychopath!" Grace added. She was already packing up her clothes.
"We can't." Elicia replied, drumming absentmindedly on the floor with her fingers. Everybody looked at her.
"She's right. We signed that contract, remember?" Rosetta was leaning back against the bed, filing her nails.
"Can't you find a loophole or something in the contract?" Satine asked. Several people sighed at once.
"We're trapped on an island with producers who probably made sure to go over the contract and get rid of all the loopholes! What do you think?" Elicia shouted. Katy quickly hit her on the head.
"We're doomed." Grace mumbled.
Colette looked at them. Suddenly she began screaming, the trace of a French accent in her voice.
"Are we all going to give up right now because of a sociopath? We have to fight back! Now stop laying on your butts and get up!" She shouted. Everybody stared at her.
"Yeah!" everybody replied. Colette smiled, glad she had gotten her point across.
Flaming Chickens – Guys.
"WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" Zach shouted, throwing himself onto his bunk. Ryan looked down in thought, then looked up.
"I think something in Gabby's head exploded. She went completely psycho." Ben said, interrupting whatever it was Ryan was about to say.
"That, or she's a werewolf and it's near the full moon." Ryan apparently had his own theory. It just happened that it wasn't normal.
"Dude, werewolves don't exist!" Tyson shouted.
"I never said I believed in them!" Ryan replied. The two got into a heated argument that soon turned into a fight. Riley and Todd quickly walked over and dragged the two away.
"Let's just focus on one thing right now!" Riley shouted.
"Getting off the island?" Ben asked. Riley looked at him.
"No, killing Gabby and Laila in their sleep, rescuing Sebastian, then hiding out in the middle of the forest." Riley responded sarcastically. "Of course I mean getting off the island!" he shouted.
"I think I like that idea better." Todd mumbled.
"Or we could always get rid of the one thing that keeps from bossing us around." Ryan added.
"What would that be?" Zach asked.
"Stealing the loudspeaker." Ryan said, smiling.
"Nice…" Tyson said.
Rabid Armadillos – outside the cabins
"That was extremely disturbing." Cariba said, looking at the ground. Nikki stared at her in disbelief.
"Are you kidding me? That was awesome! There were all these explosions! But Chef's food? That was harsh." Nikki said, wondering if she could get any of the firecrackers herself. Cariba looked at her, wondering what was going on with these people.
"How are explosions awesome?" Lyee asked, coming to her sister's aid. Nikki opened her mouth to say something, then stopped. The two sisters looked at each other with knowing glances that clearly said "Insane people!"
Haley was carving something into the wooden stairs of one of the cabins with her pocketknife.
"Gabby was right, though. We are all weak." She said, not looking up from what she was carving into the stairs. Nikki looked over to see what she was writing. Haley quickly hid it with her hand, but not before Nikki saw that it said, "Trapped on an island with sociopaths. If anybody finds this, then most likely 42 people are dead at the hands of Gabby."
At the production studio
Laila sat in her chair, opening up a coke. She looked towards Gabby, who seemed a bit upset. "God, Gabby! They are talking harsh about you!" she said, taking a sip of the coke.
Sebastian stood in the corner, smiling. "I'm glad that Laila put a contract on me so you guys can't hurt me." He was obviously not focused on the topic at hand.
Gabby imitated their talking with her hand, pacing back and forth. "Blah, blah, blah! And damn, people are harsh! I never hurt someone to the point of death!" She paused here, thinking. "To the point of suicide, yes, but never death!" she continued pacing around the studio.
Laila took a few sips of the coke, thinking about how to solve this problem.
"Maybe you should apologize?" she said plaintively after a few minutes.
Gabby stopped pacing and glared at her friend. "I did nothing wrong! Just a prank that happened to involve dangerous weapons…ok, yeah, you got a point. You think its possible to make friends?" she asked, pleading.
Laila thought about this for a while.
"Well, your old roommate Krm is still your friend, but have you noticed she is nothing like you?!" Laila pointed out. Gabby sighed.
"Yeah but it's like I make the mess, she cleans it, and she is in charge of my meds!" Gabby tried explaining.
Sebastian jumped up, pointing accusingly at Gabby. "You're on drugs! I knew it!!" He shouted in triumph.
Laila sighed. "No she's not! She's bipolar! And here, you left this in the dishwasher. I'm not sure I want to know how it ended up there." She threw Gabby's meds at her friend, who had resumed pacing.
Gabby caught the bottle. "So that's where it went! Thanks! Ok, tonight I will go to Spicer and "apologize"" she said, a note of sarcasm in the last word. "Can you come with me, Laila?" she begged.
Laila thought about this for a few seconds.
"Sure." She finally said, crushing the empty soda can with her hands and throwing it at Sebastian.
At The Killer Marmosets- Guys
Everyone was sitting inside, planning to get back at Gabby and Laila for what happened to Dante, Raphael, and Spicer, AKA "The Potato Incident" They were in a loud debate at the moment, which was soon silenced when Spicer found a jar of peanut butter under the bed.
Outside the cabin, Vanesa was hiding in Dante's car, trying to explain why she wasn't coming out, while eating several muffins (all in one bite.) All the other girls were staring with blank looks, minus Krm, who had decided that they were all insane.
Back inside the cabin, Spicer and Dante were talking about the challenge, but no one could understand them because they had started eating the peanut butter. Following various simultaneous "huh?"s from everyone, they swallowed the peanut butter to repeat what was said.
Spicer was shouting. "Gabby and Laila are so mean! They are so going to get it!" he added.
Dante looked at him.
"What should we do?" he asked.
Kenny walked over. "I know!" He sat down to join them. "We should light the loudspeaker on fire!!" he laughed maniacally, but quickly stopped. Several people stared at him as if he was insane.
Dante thought about it for a while. "That's great, and for Gabby?" he asked.
Jude finally spoke up.
"I know." Everyone stared at the hippie, waiting for an answer.
"Steal all her weapons!" he said. Several people nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, a bag of shredded lettuce flew into the cabin and hit Kenny on the head. Everyone spun around.
"What the…?" Kenny asked, startled.
Gabby and Laila were standing right outside the open door of the cabin, and they had heard everything. Laila was holding another bag of shredded lettuce, and Gabby is holding a very large bag of potatoes - because they were her favorite veggie weapon. Sadly, Laila was doing a poor job of using the other bag of shredded lettuce as a weapon, because she was eating handfuls of the shredded lettuce as they stood there. All the guys in cabin stared at the two producers, startled and frightened.
Gabby smiled. "See, Laila? This is before people die, and how they end up dying." She walked towards Spicer, who was trying to find a way to escape. "You know, we came down here to apologize, but you guys are messing with an insane, pyromaniacal bipolar person here!" Everybody began backing towards the wall.
Suddenly they heard an engine rev up outside. Vanesa had somehow started Dante's car and could not control it, and drove it into the building, causing a shower of wood everywhere. Realizing the building was about to collapse, everybody managed to get the hell outside. Despite the fact the building had now collapsed, the car remained completely unscathed.
Dante glared at Vanesa, eyes blazing. As Vanesa got out of the car, he began running after her. After a few minutes, he managed to tackle her and began strangling her. Vanesa started screaming at him in Japanese, which was apparently her first language.
Nobody said anything as they slowly backed away.
oOo
Me: That was awesome! I'm so exhausted right now. Staying up until 2:15 A.M. was not one of our better ideas.
Gabby: (equally exhausted.) Next time we need coffee.
Sebastian: You guys stayed up until 2 in the morning writing?
Gabby: What did you expect? We get our best ideas when we're exhausted. Except that somebody started ranting on about how the preps were going to DIE!
(Sebastian looks at me, scared and confused.)
Me: It was the middle of the night and I had just had an entire bag of shredded lettuce! Shredded lettuce makes me hyper! What do you expect?
Gabby: Good point. REVIEW!
