Welp, I've been neglecting this because I wanted to write a different season. I am so sorry, but now, I feel the sudden urge to write this story. Some things may seem different. This is almost an entire year after I wrote the first part. Once again, sorry about all of this! Also before you ask, no, I don't like the series of this first challenge. It's why it's first. Let's save the better games for later! I'm going to keep this rather short for the most part. And by short, I mean let's get on with the episode.

Noah was holding his gun in his hands. He looked at the rest of his team before looking at the rest of the people. "Alright, we need a battle pl-"
"Woah!" Scott yelled, cutting him off. "Wait wait wait! Who said you were the leader?"
Justin pointed to himself. "Yeah! Why can't I be the leader?"
Scott looked over at him. "Huh? I'm the leader, end of story."
"What about me?" Sam asked. "I've played video games my whole life. Don't you think that I would be better suited to be the leader. It's like a walk in the park!"
Staci started to walk. "My great great great great great-" She then walked into a landmine and disappeared.
"Yeah, a walk in a park full of landmines." Noah said, rolling his eyes.
"We're under attack!" Topher screamed out. "This wouldn't happen if I were host!"
"We could be surrounded!" Justin shouted out. "AHHHH!" He started to run around in circles, somehow not hitting any landmines.
.
((Confessional booth))
.
Justin was sitting in the janitor closet. "You may be thinking how I'm being irrational here. But what if the game is too realistic! What if actually affects my face in real life! These are the types of questions someone like me needs to think about."
.
((Back in the game))
.
Jasmine was looking at everyone who was arguing. "Guys! Stop freaking out already! Everything will be alright!" No one listened to her. She looked over at Eva with a sigh. "You got any better ideas?"
She took a deep breath before yelling. "ENOUGH!"
This seemed to have caught everyone's attention.
Eva grinned to herself before speaking again. "We need to get out head in the game! Or else we are going to lose thi-" She never got to finish that sentence as she was shot in the head. She vanished moments later.
"Everyone!" Sam yelled. "Take cover!" Everyone listened to him.
"Why didn't we do this first?" Noah asked.

.
Cody lowered his sniper rifle. "I think I got someone. However, I don't think I'll be able to get another one. They'll be expecting it."
Sierra grabbed him into another hug. "That's my Cody for you!"
He was trying to break free. "S-someone! He-help me!" He mumbled.
Dawn frowned and walked over to Sierra. "I think you should let him go. He might need to shoot again."
She glared at her. "Don't tell me what to do!" She looked at her hand, noticing she wasn't holding any weapons. "Why aren't you holding a gun?"
Dawn shook her head. "I don't want to kill anyone."
Sierra let go of Cody to cross her arms. "This is virtual reality! No one will die anyways."
B, who was lookout, poor choice by the way, was looking out for anything he should warn his team about. Then, he found something rather interesting. There seemed to be a fortress of sort in the distance. He turned to tell his team about it, but they seemed, preoccupied.
"It's still wrong." Dawn crossed her arms.
"You're wrong!" Sierra countered.
Max shook his head. "You two bickering is getting in the way of making a plan! So will you two remain silent!" They didn't listen.
B looked back at the fortress and saw a few people make their way there. He turned back towards his team to alert them, but they didn't seem to notice. Dejected, B looked back and to see that the team had sent some people towards them. He facepalmed before running between everyone and pointing to where the other team was.
Trent saw the other team. "Guys! We have company!" He quickly took out his gun.
Amy realised that no one was looking at her anymore. She took out one of her grenades and pulled the pin, letting both fall to ground, kicking the grenade over to Samey. "Whoops, I dropped my grenade. Mind picking it up for me?"
Samey let out a sigh and picked it up. Sadly for her, it blew up in her face.
.
((Confessional booth))
.
Samey was kinda horrified. "W-why did she do that…?"
.
((Back in the game))
.
Amy did a fake scream. "They threw a grenade! Take cover!"
Trent looked at the other team, who were still ways away and couldn't have possible thrown the grenade. "Right." He then took cover and started to shoot.
Cody moved to a better cover and started to aim at the other team. He couldn't however get a good angle on them. "I'm better at hitting stationary targets."
Max laughed at everyone who was hiding. "I'll show you how you deal with people like this!" He walked over to where the other team was. "Bow before your overlo-" They opened fired at him. "Or not…" He mumbled as he vanished out of the game.
Sierra jumps behind the same cover that Cody is in. They stare at each other for a few moments. "Hi." She says.
"Do you mind?" Cody asked, peeking over the cover, before lowering his head quickly as bullets fly overhead. "Could you get another cover?"
"I would take a bullet for you." Sierra said.
"That's… nice…?" He mumbled.
Amy was hiding behind some cover. "This game is stupid! What kind of nerd would play this!" She holds onto her gun tightly. "They aren't even that good at it!" She quickly rose out of cover and shoots.
The person she managed to hit a few times was Sugar. "This tickles!" She giggled to herself as she slowly vanished. Good.
"See? Easy?" Amy smirked to herself.
Trent saw that she was no longer behind cover. "Amy! Take cover!"
It was too late as whoever shot her got a direct headshot, and she vanished.
Sierra suppressed a laugh. "You're too slow."
B shook out his head. He took a peek out of cover and shot someone, who was Lindsay.
Trent heard that the gunshot ceased as soon as B took his shot. "Is that it?" He asked.
B simply shrugged.
"What? I took two of them out for you!" This was the sound of Jo. "And you still failed? Whatever, I can kill them myself." She ran towards the cover.
Everyone looked at each other before collectively rising out of cover and aiming at Jo.
Everyone but Dawn, but whatever.
Jo quickly stopped running. "Or not…" Was all she managed to say.
.
((In the real world))
.
Jo slowly raised the helmet that she was wearing. "Some team those two were! I probably have the worst team!"
"Hey!" Lindsay said, crossing her arms. "It's your fault. I'm not good at games like these."
She stood up. "Whatever…" She said as she walked away.
"How dare you accuse me of blowing you up!" Amy yelled.
Samey crossed her arms. "You did, though!"
Amy pushed her into a wall. "No I didn't!"
Max was standing in the background. "Yes… a cat fight! I love a good cat fight."
Jo looked at them before shaking her head. "I guess it could be worst…"

.
"We need to find a way past this minefield!" Justin yelled out.
Noah rolled his eyes. "Thank you captain obvious." He glanced at the ground and picked up a small rock.
"I say with throw Mount Lady behind us." Scott smirked.
"Excuse me!" Jasmine said as she lifted up Scott. "How about we throw you?"
Suddenly, the sound of another landmine going off was heard.
Jasmine dropped Scott to the ground. "Who did we lose this time?"
"No one." Noah said, tossing another rock. It bounces off the ground, blowing up a landmine. "I think we just found our escape." He smiled.
"That's genius, Noah!" Sam yelled out. He also grabbed some rocks and started to throw them ahead of them. "Everyone grab rocks!"
Soon, everyone had grabbed rocks and proceeded to throw them.
"This is too easy. Getting the host role will be a cinch!" Topher smirked to himself.
Scott glanced at him before tossing a rock right at his back. Seemingly, everyone missed this happening. This caused Topher to fall face first into a landmine.
"So sad." Scott mumbled, continuing to throw rocks.
.
((Confessional booth))
.
Scott shrugged. "What? He was annoying."
.
((Back in the game))
.
Noah looked around at everyone. "How did we already lose three of our members?"
Scott shrugged. "Maybe our teammates just suck?"
Sam tosses a few more rocks, but none of them activates landmines. "I think we are clear from the minefield! We need to find the other teams!" He started running towards what appeared to be a fortress not that far away.
.
((With Pixel Perfect))
.
Brick walked over to Tyler. "Hey, soldier! Did Jo return yet?"
Tyler shook his head. "Neither has Lindsay and Sugar."
"Dang…" Brick mumbled to himself. He glanced over towards a corner of the fortress and noticed that Dave was sitting in the shadows. "I'll be right back." He said as he walked over to where Dave was. "Everything alright soldier?" He took a seat next to him.
He looked up at him and nodded slowly. "Yeah, it's just that I don't want to be back in the show."
"Then why did you come?" Brick asked.
"I was forced." He replied.
.
((Last night))
.
Dave was sitting on his bed, reading a book when suddenly, someone jumped through the window. "Gah!" He yelled out looking at the person. The person ran over to Dave and put him into a bag.
.
((Present))
.
Brick remained silent for a few seconds. "I'm pretty sure that's illegal."
Dave let out a sigh. "I would be fine if Sky wasn't here. Like Topher said, she turned me down on National Television."
"I'm sure it's not that ba-" He started to say, before someone screaming caught his attention.
"Hey!" Anne-Maria yelled out. "There some people coming over here! And they aren't from our team!"
Brick slowly got up. "I'll be right there ma'am!" He looked back at Dave. "Don't let Sky get you down!" He then ran over to where Anne-Maria was. He peeked over the top of the wall. There seemed to be five enemies. "Enemies spotted! Anna-Maria! Cover the top!" She got her gun ready and aimed. Although the other team was still too far away. Brick turned towards Dave. "Dave! Take a five minute break and then help us!"
He slowly nodded.
He turned to look at Sky. "Sky! Get out back and attempt to flank them!"
"On it!" She yelled out, running out the back of the fortress.
Brick then turned to look at Tyler. "Tyler! Close the doors!"
He nodded and ran towards the door. Sadly he died before he could reach it.
.
((In the real world))
.
The helmet Tyler had on came off, he came out running, not even realizing he was in the real world.
"Hi Tyler!" Lindsay waved at him.
Tyler smiled when he saw Lindsay. "Hey Linds!" He smiled. "Wait…" And then he crashed into the wall in front of him.
Chris' laughter could be heard coming from the monitor room. "Ah! Classic Tyler."
.
((Back in the game))
.
Anne-Maria let out a sigh upon seeing that Tyler failed. She aimed over the top of the wall. "I can probably shoot them now! Which one do you want me to shoot?"
Brick thought for a moment. "Does one of them have something like a sniper rifle?"
She went silent for a moment.
"A gun with a long barrel." He elaborated.
She still remained silent.
"You are holding one." He elaborated again.
She nodded. "Small scrawny kid has one."
"Take him out." Brick smiled. "That way they can't rely on long range."
Anne-Maria took her shot at Cody.
Sierra saw that someone was aiming at Cody. "CODY! Noooo!" She jumps in front of him, taking the hit for him. "I told you…. I would take a bullet for you…" She started to fade away. "Continue… without me…"
He looked at her, unimpressed. "Huh… Sierra, you do know that none of this is real, right?"
She let out a fake cough. "I know you feel sad… but… don't forget me…" And then she vanished.
Cody got up, completely unchanged by this series of events,
Trent was hiding behind some cover. "Well, that was something." He looks at his team. "We only have four people, so we should be careful!"
"We can probably find another way around this, right?" Dawn asked.
B sticks his head out and takes a shot at Anne-Maria. Sadly, his bullets don't reach her. But hers do, and he vanishes.
Trent lets out a sigh. "Alright, we have three members left. Cody, take a shot at her!"
Cody aimed at Anne-Maria and shot. Unfortunately it bounced off her head and hit Cody instead. He soon vanished.
"How does that even work?" Trent asked, sighing.
.
((With the Virtual Conquerors))
.
Sam was running, but he soon stopped to take cover behind a rock. "I think they are in this fort!"
Scott saw the fort and smirked. "I say we go and rush them!"
"They'll never see it coming!" Justin smirked. He ran out with Scott closely behind.
They didn't make it far because Trent shot them both down long before they even made it to the fort.
Noah let out a sigh. "They won't see you coming because the other team will have shot you down way before you even had the chance to get close. Great job team!"
Sam was still behind cover. "Should we wait before we go?"
Jasmine slowly got up. "Maybe I can act like a distraction for you two?"
"No." Sam shook his head. "We need every aspect of our team ali-"
"And there she goes." Noah said.
Jasmine ran out and hid behind a cover that was conveniently just the right height for her. She pokes her head out and aims at Anne-Maria. She takes a shot at her a few times, actually managing to not hit the hair and eliminating her.
"Soldier down!" Brick yelled from within the fort.
Trent hadn't seen Jasmine move up. "That's our cue!" He jumps out from behind the rock.
"Trent! Wait!" Dawn called out. "I sense danger!"
Jasmine spotted Trent and got out of her cover to shoot at him. She was shot herself before she could pull the trigger.
Sky was standing behind where she was. "Ah! Got you." And then she was shot. I'm sensing a pattern here.
Sam was now standing behind where she wsa. "Some people just need to pay attention." Now it was his turn to get shot and vanish.
Noah let out a sigh. "You were saying?" He ran over to the fort wall and leaned against it.
"Huh… Soldier? You do know I can still see you?" Brick's voice came from above.
Noah quickly glanced up and tried to shoot him, but it was too late. Noah vanished.
Brick hid back behind the wall. "Alright. One team down." He started to count with his hands. "Probably."
Trent ran into the fort. "Please let this be the last person." He took aim at Dave, who seemed unbothered by all of this. "Just do it already. I want to go home anyways."
Before Trent had the chance to shoot, Brick shot him in the back.
"Ah-ha!" He exclaimed. "I won this for the team!" He heard a sound from behind him. He quickly turned around and attempted to shoot whoever it was.
He shot Dawn in the hand. What happened next was that she accidentally shot her gun. The bullet started to ricochet off the walls. All three people left alive just stopped and looked at where it going.
Eventually, it hit a crack in the wall, which stopped it's trajectory.
A moment of silence for our fallen bullet.
"Well, alright." Brick said. "Now that that is over with." And then the wall that the bullet hit collapsed on him.
A moment of silence for our fallen bricks.
Oh. And Brick.
Dawn was shaking her hand. "I'm sorry Brick. I did not mean for that to happen."
"Now fight to the death!" Chris said with the voice over.
Dawn shook her head. "I don't want to shoot anyone."
He went silent for a second. "Dave! Shoot her!"
He was huddled in his corner. "Maybe another time?"
"You both suck!" Chris yelled out. "You know what! I won't let it end like this!"
Then the world slowly faded away.
.
((Back in the real world))
.
The helmet that Dawn was wearing came off. She rubbed her eyes a little before looking around the place. She spotted that Brick and Trent still had their helmets on. "Wait, I thought they were out.
Cody pointed towards a screen. "You might want to look there.
She took a glance towards where he was pointing.
.
((Back in the game))
.
Trent was hiding behind a rock. "Alright… I just need to win this tie-breaker."
Brick runs out of cover towards where Trent.
He let out a sigh. "It's now or never." He ducked out of cover and aimed at Brick. But quickly lowered his head as a flew over his head. "That was close." He mumbled to himself.
"Come out soldier!" Brick yelled, running for his cover.
He let out a sigh. "I can't stick my head out again. I need to think of something else…" He stuck his hand into his pocket and retrieved a grenade. "You know, I probably should have remembered we had these." He pulled the pin.
Brick walked over to the rock was hiding behind. "It's not use hiding." He heard something roll to his feet. "A grenade? But I could have sworn I still had min- He threw a grenade at me. Probably should have realised that sooner" And then he blew up.
"The winner is Trent!" Chris yelled out via the voice over. "He wins for the Gamer Gang!"
.
((In the real world))
.
The helmet on Trent slowly got off.
"You did it!" Samey smiled at Trent and hugged him.
Trent doesn't hug back because he wasn't expecting the hug.
She quickly realized that she was hugging him and let go. "Sorry."
"Trent! You totally won for us!" Cody yelled out. Giving him props. That, he was able to return.
"Trent." Sierra said. "I didn't know you were good at shooting games."
He slowly nodded. "I played them a lot. Why is that so shocking?"
"How did a cadet lose to a non cadet!" Jo yelled at Brick.
Brick was standing at attention. "I was not expecting the grenade, ma'am!"
"Always expect the grenade!" She yelled.
Chris stood out of the monitor room. "Trent won the first challenge for the Gamer Gang, which means they get the best of the three sleeping accommodations. Pixel Perfect, since you guys won second place, you will get the decent room. As for the Virtual Conquerors, you did the worst with last place. As such, you will sleep in the worst part. Not only that, but you will also be sending someone home tonight. Hopefully you never return here. But you will because I designed your team to be terrible." He smiled brightly.
Topher slide himself over to where Chris. "Chris, you should totally reconsider and have me as co-host! I will raise the ratings so much. To be honest, I don't even care about winning, nor do I care for what happens to my team. I'll help them win, I'll cause them to lose. Whatever it takes to get you to notice me."
"I will file a restraining order eventually." He replied.
.
((With Gamer Gang))
.
Trent had a can of pop in his hands. "So here's to our first team victory! Hope we can keep winning!"
Samey was glaring at Amy. "I can't believe you blew me up!"
She glared back. "What are you talking about? You blew up because of an enemy grenade! Not because of me!"
"You said you dropped your grenade! So I picked it up! You also apparently dropped the pin!"
"You have no proof!"
Trent let out a sigh. "Amy, leave her alone."
She turned to look at him. "You are siding with her?"
He nodded. "I saw how you were in your season. You treated her poorly."
Amy seemed to have gotten even madder. "Whatever!"
Dawn approached her. "You should start treating her better or bad things are sure to happen."
She walked past her. "Shut up, witch."
Cody took a sip of his pop. "What was that all about?"
B simply shrugged.
"More cat fights." Max grinned.
.
((With Pixel Perfect))
.
Jo was leaning back on the bed she had. "This isn't first place, but it will have to do for now." She sat up. "But I never want to come back here!"
"It's my fault for letting my guard down." Brick said. "I can't believe I let him get the best of me."
Anne-Maria rolled her eyes. "We should blame the kid over there." She pointed towards Dave, who was lying down on his bed, looking at the ceiling.
"I think it will do for now." Sky smiled. "Although first place is always better."
Tyler smiled. "I don't care where we sleep. As long as no one is going home, then it's alright with me!"
Lindsay nodded. "I also share that feeling!"
Jo crossed her arms. "I would much rather sleep in the better room."
.
((Confessional booth))
.
Jo still had her arms crossed. "This is about the worst team I could have possible have gotten! There are two pain magnets! Two dumb blondes! One depressed kid! And one… I don't even know what to call Anne-Maria. The only good person on this team that I have is me! And maybe Sky. She did come in second place last season. Or was it first place? Ah! Whatever! All I know is that she's an athlete, and it could be useful!"
.
((In an open room in the school))
.
Chris was holding a bowl that contained some stuff. "Hello contestants. You guys were the first losers of the season. Though break, isn't it?"
Noah crossed his arm. "I guess most of the team just wasn't really into it. Some died so quickly, other's died by running head first into danger."
"Hey, it was a risk and I took it." Scott defended himself.
"And you died because of it." He countered.
"Didn't you die because you leaned against a wall?" Scott countered back.
Noah kept his arms crossed. "Let's just move on."
"Fine!" Chris said. He took out what appeared to be a bullet. "The first replica of a bullet goes to… Eva!" He tossed her the first one.
She caught it, but then dropped it because she had no uses for it.
"Jasmine!" He tossed her the second one.
She caught it.
He took out another one. "Noah!" He tossed him the third one.
He caught it, pocketing it.
"Sam…"He tossed him the fourth one.
He caught it, fiddling around with it to inspect it.
"Justin." He tossed him the fifth one.
He caught it, but discarded it quickly.
Chris looked at the three people who had not received a bullet. "Scott, Staci, Topher, you all have reasons to be voted off. Scott, no one likes you."
He crossed his arms. "I can live with that."
"Staci, you won't shut u-"
"My great great great grandmother invented shutting up. Before that, people just had to keep talking." She said.
Chris shook his head. "Like you are doing right now? Just take your bullet!" He tossed her the sixth one.
She failed to catch it. And it hit her right in the face.
"And Topher! You are just very annoying. I don't even know why i asked you to come back for another season."
He did the finger guns. "It's because you secretly like me."
"No." He sighed. "And the final bullet of the evening goes to-"
Noah smirked to himself. "That sounds like something a killer would say when he is deciding who to kill."
Chris looked at him, annoyed. "Can you let me talk?"
He shrugged. "Sure, go right ahead."
"And the final one goes to…"

"Scott!" He tossed him the final one.
He grinned as he caught it.
Topher sat up quickly. "Wait, what? Why me?"
"You kinda said you would lose challenges for us if it meant becoming co-host."
"I don't like you." Eva said.
Sam let out a sigh. "I just feel like you'd be useless."
Staci smiled. "Plus, Scott seems so much nicer."
Scott shrugged. "And it was either you or me."
"You guys are joking, right?" Noah sighed.
Topher ran up to Chris. "Please! Chris! Let me at least be your intern!
He looked at him, a little angry. "I said n- Wait… intern?" He smiled at himself. "You know what, sure. You can become my intern.
"Yes!" Topher cheered.
"You made a mistake!" Chris smiled.
He smiled to himself. "We'll see about that. It starts with intern, and then soon I'll be co-host."
Chris leaned over to the camera. "I'm going to have fun torturing him"
"Yeah!" Topher cheered. "Wait. What?"
.
((Votes))
.
Eva didn't seem happy about any of this. "I would vote for Scott. But that Topher kid seems pretty useless. And the thing he said to Chris."
.
Jasmine looked down at the camera. "Isn't it obvious who I'm voting for? Scott! I've heard what he has done! And I ain't taking any chances!"
.
Justin was thinking deeply about this. "Scott and I could make an alliance, so I need him to stay. And I found the perfect person to vote against. Topher is as good as gone.
.
Noah had his arms crossed. "Gee, I wonder who I'm going to vote for. Of course it's Scott. I don't want him to start throwing the game. So, who else would I vote for?"
.
Sam seemed to also be in deep thought. "Hmm… Scott seems like the best pick since he's a back stabber. But Topher mentioned he would lose to try and get Chris' attention. So he could have fallen purposely. So my vote goes towards Topher. I can always vote off Scott another time. It's not like I'll never get the chance again."
.
Scott was leaning back in the seat. "Choosing Topher is my safest bet! So of course I would choose him. Hopefully other people also vote him off."
.
Staci was sitting down, counting something. "My great great great great-"
.
Topher grinned to himself. "I'm voting off Scott! It's a safe way to assure I stay in the game!"
.
"-great great-" Staci continued.
"Just continue!" Scott yelled out from outside.
"I choose Topher because Scott seems nice." She smiled.
.
Votes Total:
Topher: 5
Scott: 3

Alright, after almost a year, here is the next episode. See you next year! Just kidding, I won't torture you all with that. All one of you because let's be honest, I don't think any of you are reading this. Well, if someone is reading, reviewing lets me know people are actually reading this. Of course, you don't have to because reviewing is hard. But the thought is always appreciated. Next episode, we visit one of my childhood favourite games.
