A/N Okay here's the third Challenge, I hope people enjoy.
Belize couldn't sleep too much he knew that everyone was asleep, and no one been around the confessional room, he figured since it was still a little while until he can start an unnecessary wake up on the competitors, he would go and see what everyone keeps complaining about, Belize got up from the bed slowly walked by Zack, once Belize made sure the cat was still asleep, Belize slowly opened the door just enough for him to walk by, and then slowly slipped out and shut the door as quietly as he could.
Belize started his walk down the dark induced pathway, every time he walked by a couple of the trees he could almost swear they were whispering in his ears telling him to turn back and never go down the path again. Belize stopped every time he heard rustling in the bushes around the trees, when they didn't make any noise while he was standing still he shrugged it off and continued his walk down the trail.
Belize finally got to the place he was intending to go, he stopped suddenly. "What the hell…" He yelled out fairly loudly, but wasn't loud enough to wake any of the competitors sleeping on the cold hard floor. He walked over to the rubble of the building and was looking around. "Who the hell…" Belize's mind suddenly snapped and he came to the conclusion it was one of the competitors, he was so intent that it was a couple he really despised, and ones he knows despises him.
Belize then picked up a couple of the wooden planks and saw in the rubble a golden locket, he picked it up and opened it, he saw a picture inside of the locket, he took a close look at it, he recognized the badger in the picture… It was Jacky. Belize looked at all the others in the picture, but they didn't look young at all so he didn't care until he saw one that looked young, but their face in the picture was torn apart. Belize looked at the inscription of it. To my dear niece, Rhemochanda, I give this to you in the hopes you don't follow in my footsteps, your favorite aunt, Jacky.
Belize smiled slightly, as the name slightly sounded familiar, but what's the fun of getting rid of them early in the game, Belize was thinking of ways to make her suffer now that he knows for sure who Jacky's niece is. No I can't let her know that I am aware of her now.Belize then heard another noise again and looked at the chair; it fell over with no one around it. Belize was feeling like he shouldn't be around she he quickly grabbed the camera that was slightly beaten with the wood, but was still functional.
Belize ran as fast as he could just running with the camera in his hand until he got back to his residence for the competition, slamming the door open awakening, Zack from his sleep. "Gah Belize what the hell are you causing all this ruckus for?" Zack started to wipe his eyes and yawn. "I… The… Confessional…. Camera…. Noise…." Zack scratched his head a little. "Okay calm down man, you really are talking too fast that I can't understand you. Belize took a few deep breathes, "Okay I think I'm good." Belize cleared his throat.
"Okay I couldn't sleep; I went for a walk to the confessional to dismantle the camera so I can make another area for the confessional, the whole damn building was in rubble and literally obliterated," Zack looked shockingly at Belize then at the beaten up camera, "Damn that was an expensive camera… What happened?" Belize shrugged "I don't know, but I did find this locket and I'm pretty sure that I know who it was that done it." Belize looked down trying to get the chair falling over out of his mind.
"Who? They must get punished." Belize smiled "Don't worry my friend that specific competitor isn't one hundred percent sure on, but I will get them to confess it, if they do, I may go easy on them, but if it's a specific one that I can't stand…." Belize shook off a few thoughts going in his head "… I will make sure he gets a full and terrible punishment." Zack looked down at his watch "Oh Hell we need to get the competitors up, before they wake themselves up."
Belize grabbed the bullhorn and went outside, made the bullhorn make a siren noise over a loudspeaker waking everyone up. Belize then also made a slight announcement, after he shut the siren off, "Competitors report to the hosts' building A.S.A.P. anyone who doesn't get there in two minutes will be incapacitated for the challenge, meaning you will not participate and this is a full team challenge, so do not be late."
Belize sat waiting for all thirty four competitors all of them made it, Belize looked down at his watch "Okay you all got lucky this time, because there was only five seconds left until someone would have been automatically selected for elimination before the challenge even started." Belize laughed a little, everyone just gave him a glare, Belize stopped looked around.
"Okay now onto business… Earlier this morning I went to dismantle the camera in the confessional room…" Everyone was cheering and feeling happy that they won't have to go there anymore. "…But due to one or two of you… Or how ever many of you it was, the camera was damaged, and the whole building was a pile of rubble." Everyone looked around at each other and then back at Belize.
"Umm Belize none of us did that." Rylie said as he was looking around. Belize slightly growled a little. Zack, Lifty, Shifty, and Flaky who were close enough to hear him all looked a little panicked everyone saw their reaction and didn't really know what to make of what just happened, Belize walked over to Tuffy grabbed him by the collar fur and pulled him making him face to face with the blue cat.
"You did that didn't you?" Tuffy looked around and then back at Belize and laughed, "Actually no I din't, if I did that would 'ave been a great way too piss you off, but no I din't destroy your precious confessonal room." Belize used a forceful let go and made Tuffy fall to the ground. Belize then walked to the front of the group.
"Fine no one wants to confess to this, and own up to anything, you will all have to suffer of me telling you how to do this challenge, once… If you didn't hear me too fucking bad, you should pay more attention, and should learn to own up to what you did… Honestly I don't give a damn someone destroyed the room, it's the fact you almost destroyed a Seven hundred eighty-five dollar camera." Belize looks at his list.
"Damn it I forgot Team Life you get this challenge off to relax, lucky you, but don't think you will be completely safe from what happens. Because I'm really not in a good mood and any of you, hmm what's the word I'm looking for?" He looks over to Zack, "Umm actually I don't even really know." Belize just sighed, "Well let's just say you worthless pieces of shit, do one thing wrong I will personally eliminate you myself, so don't let the two day vacation get too out of hand, or make you soft… Got it?" Team Life nodded.
"Okay this pre-challenge is simple you are going to build a fort, I am going to destroy it… Your fort falls well, I'll tell you afterwards, so start building right now; you have thirty minutes. And it started the minute I said Pre-Challenge…." Belize then tapped the watch on his wrist, "Well hurry up you wasted a minute and times ticking." Everyone ran in various directions looking for materials they could use for a fort.
Team Fire…
Ryan, Kayser, Miltera, Patch, Crème, Gin, and Belle all were together they looked around and decided to use some of the vines that were on the ground. "Well I think if we can tie a correct knot this vine will make a sturdy support and that will make it easier to make it defensive." Kayser said after picking up a few and stretching it to test its durability. Crème looked around and found some banana leaves, she then moved some and found an envelope on the ground, she picked it up and opened it and pulled out the note.
She sat there and read the letter…
Dear Belize,
The architectural institute that you hired to investigate this island, we have found many artifacts of the natives that once owned the land, but one day they all just disappeared, we did investigations of the location, I really am sorry to inform you that, whatever you do, do not build on zone 4 20°N 16°W we are still investigating, but whatever is on that area it's a mystery, so please do not build on that area and we will inform you when we properly inspected everything we could.
Sincerely Ben Rocklin Historical Supervisor.
Crème was looking at the note and then ran over to the rest of the groups, "Hey guys, I found this envelope in the forest." Everyone but Patch went over to Crème and she handed them the letter. Kayser grabbed it and examined, "Well it's an official piece of parchment and information. I suggest we give it to Belize, later." Ryan sighed "If it was important to Belize then why was it out here?" everyone shrugged and didn't know what to do. Kayser realizing they were on a tight schedule, "Fine we will just trash it… Let's get back to work before the time is up…"
Team Earth…
Wolfie told the group to go separate ways and bring back whatever materials they could find. Scott intentionally did nothing to annoy Wolfie, "What the hell is your problem Scott? I actually don't want to get anyone sent home yet and this challenge is a group thing so we need to at least work together until he announces every competitor for themselves." Scott just looked at him and started to think about the potential of that happening. He then sighed because he knew Wolfie was correct.
"Fine I will at least try to help you, but if you mess up anything, or threaten me I will be sure that you will suffer the longer you are here in this little game you got that?" Wolfie growled at Scott, but turned and started to work on making plans for a fort.
Several of the team came back and carried various items… Eggy had a few rocks that his little wings could carry, Meggy grabbed some clay she had found in the ground, and Redgy had a couple of wood planks from the old confessional cabin. Nano had some banana leaves and a couple of sticks. Louise had nothing in his hand. "Why didn't you get anything?" Louise shrugged a bit and then walked over to the bush and saw the envelope that Crème "Trashed" by just throwing into the wind and letting it fly away.
He read it and then gave it to Wolfie; He read it while telling Louis since he didn't get any supplies then he is going to be building most of the fort himself to cover up his little work effort for not finding material. Wolfie then saw no use in the note so he left it over near Belize's office and ran back to his group.
Team Wind…
"I can't believe it… We lost the first official challenge, and Tuffy still isn't much over his concussion." Rocha said looking at everyone but Tuffy. "Hey, if it wasn't for Beli'e I woulda had 't won." Tuffy said, slightly still having a few missed letters of words. "Okay we need to get set up for the fort… Tuffy here is a little problematic at the moment with he's delirium. So everyone else we need to get supplies." Splinter said trying not to focus too much on Tuffy.
"Lets see, Flaky… You find some bindings, Rocha you can handle the heavier materials, and you have Cuddles helping with that, Tuffy… Hmm you just stay out of the way until the challenge." "So what will you and Chuckles do then?" Rocha said trying to see how well he planned out anything. Splinter smiled, "Well we are going to build the fort, I am fairly sure Chuckles will have fun making the design…" "What, no I won't…" Chuckles said the second he heard Splinter say about designing. Splinter looked at him. "Oh so you don't want to be 'Dungeon Master'?" Chuckles shook his head a little, but then had full focus on Splinter once he said dungeon master.
"Yes, you see it's the part of the dungeon we need to protect secrets and the fort is going to be the vault, if anyone gets into the vault, then the dungeon is conquered and you lose." Splinter said like he was a warrior trying to inspire his helpers. Chuckles smiled "I accept the challenge, and I will become the 'Dungeon Master' who will not have his dungeon conquered so easily." He then ran around looking for something he could draw on and started making the plans for the fort.
"See Piece of cake… Now go get the supplies to build the fort." Flaky went to look for bindings, Rocha and Cuddles went to look for some supplies, and Tuffy was sitting in the same spot almost asleep, but annoyed he's not leading the team, he knows he can do better.
Team Water…
Splendid, Silver, and Shifty were sitting in a group, "I'm a bit worried about Lifty…" Silver said as she was writing down the materials for a decent fort. "I know he was sleep talking last night, he didn't make much sense, I almost went to wake him up, but when I got close he growled at me and I walked away a little and he continued talking; almost like he was in a conversation." Splendid was looking around.
"Maybe something happened in the confessional room that is bothering him? I mean everyone here said they had different things happen in there, and some even said they felt like they were being watched from the shadows." Splendid then looked down, "Maybe we can get Belize to get the tapes and we can watch what happened in there?" Silver and Shifty nodded, "Okay, but we need only one to ask him, and we need to build this fort we only have twenty minutes."
Splendid nodded, "Okay who will go and tell him?" Shifty and Silver looked around. Then Xzavior came up "Hey anyone want to come with me and be a modal for my tree carving exercise?" Silver smiled, "Sure I will do it, but you minds doing something for me?" Xzavior looked around, "Well it depends?" Silver looked over to the hosts' cabin, "Well we need someone to talk to Belize and get him to see what happened to Lifty, I mean really Lifty's been different a bit since he made his confessional." Xzavior shrugged, "I guess I could, but what will you offer in return." He smiled trying to see if he can get a better deal then just her going to modal for him to carve into a tree.
"How about 4 packs of booze…" All four turned around and saw Zack was sitting with a cold can of lemonade in his hand. "Zack, what are you doing here?" Zack shrugged "Well I was off exploring around and I heard you guys talking about Lifty, but then Xzavior shown up, I was going to offer to help, but you saw him for it." Zack then took a sip of the lemonade. "Plus he wouldn't do much without a bribe, and well Belize angry as he is at the moment; its really not a good idea to interrupt him." Zack then started to walk away, "Wait does this mean you won't give me booze...?" Xzavior said, Zack smiled. "I would, but not yet, we need you sober to do the second actual challenge." Zack then left.
Splendid looked at the sky and then back down at Silvers list of materials they will need, then Roxie came up out of no where. "Why have we not gotten materials for the fort yet?" everyone then realized they wasted a lot of time talking, they forgot they were in the middle of a timed challenge.
Team Life…
Cola, Flippy, Rylie, and Nutty were all standing together, starting to feel strange that Petunia and Chelsie are both hanging out with Disco Bear and actually having contact with him, without injuring him or threatening to throw him over something.
"I really don't get them do you?" Flippy said to Cola, he sort of shrugged trying to think of a reason they were almost friendly to him, but just seeing it first hand, he couldn't think clearly. "I think it's because he actually won the challenge." Nutty's voice shocked the three other guys. "Well he did fly through the challenge, like there was nothing there; I'm surprised he didn't even get hit." Rylie said adding to the statement. Cola and Flippy nodded in agreement.
"Okay we really need to push Disco Bear out of our mind and keep competition sharp. I think we need to focus on plotting ahead, like after the teams are worthless." Rylie said, Cola, Flippy, and Nutty all agreed. "So lets compile a list of who we think will make in to that point." Flippy looks around, "Well don't take this too personal, but I know for sure me, Tuffy, Scott, Splendid, and Ryan are the only ones that will get a long way in this, but don't take too personal, because look what Disco Bear did… I don't really know if that's all, but those guys and I are definitely going to most likely last to that point."
Rylie, and Nutty gave Flippy a Glare, Cola was a little pre-occupied watching mime get some of the materials his team needed for the fort, he was very tempted to go and talk to him, but he didn't want to get into a long discussion with him just in case Mime's team loses because of him.
"Hey Cola, Flippy here says there's a little chance of you getting past the group dissolve." Cola looked at Flippy then turned his head back looking at mime, but he was gone, Cola sighed, "Whatever, who knows what the challenges will do. Let's go and watch Belize destroy them and see what we got to miss out on." They all started to walk away, "Hey Disco Bear come on we are going to watch the third challenge." Disco just waved to them telling them to go on. The group of guys shrugged and started to walk over to the competition area.
Belize was sitting in the spot watching the clock, getting very anxious to just destroy a few things just to make himself calm down, but he knew he still needed to make the challenge that they would hate. I wonder if I can… Wait a minute I can this is going to be a bit fun. Belize started to feel happier, but he wanted to make sure that a couple people suffered that he knows needs to.
Zack saw him happy and doing a little jig, he started to feel like something terrible was about to happen, if Belize jumped moods that fast. Belize then stopped looked at Zack, "What I decided to modify the challenge a bit, and its going to make things more interesting." Belize then looked at the watch he had on and made the bullhorn wail the siren again.
"Okay that's it you dirty mongrels everyone go to your built forts now for the pre challenge event." Belize then grinned looking at Zack, Zack felt a very uneasy sense with Belize bouncing around between being pissed and so excited that he is almost elated with happiness. Zack tried to get the thought out of his head.
All the teams, except team life, stood in front of their forts they made, Belize went by and inspected them, he started with Team Fire. "Okay Kayser, since you are the leader and commanded how this fort has been made, depending on what my decision is afterwards you and every other leader might not like it." Belize then smiled. Kayser was a little worried, but did think that as long as everyone followed the construction plan it will stand.
Belize went over to the fort looked inside, went around checking the handy work of how well it looked, it was done to an acceptable level of professionalism, but it wasn't the kind he was looking for. Belize walked out of the fort and wrote down on a notepad some notes. Belize then walked around the fort. Belize started to rub a spot on the fort and then he hit it with a bit of strength. The fort still stood, Belize was a little surprised, but he wrote down in the notes something more and then to the front.
"Well Kayser it is a sound fort, but I do suggest you fix the flaws, because…" Suddenly a large crashing sound happened, Belize then smiled a bit, "I shouldn't be able to find the main support of the fort and make it collapse on itself." Belize then smiled at everyone, "Well lucky for Team Fire I'm no longer angry at you, but there's still the others I have to look at." Belize walked off leaving the Team with a confused look on their face.
Belize then walked over to Team Earth's fort, "Okay Wolfie, I'm going to test a few things out." Belize walked around examined everything from the outside and then went inside, it was almost sad to be in there, Belize actually felt he wasn't safe inside so he quickly ran out. The second he got out of the fort it collapsed. "What the hell?" Belize looked at them, and then back at the fort, "Okay then I know for sure none of you destroyed the confessional." "Wait what? How are you coming to this conclusion?" Scott said as he walked up to Belize.
"Well for one, I didn't do anything and the fort collapsed, oddly enough I'm surprised this group was even smart enough to make it stable long enough for me to inspect it…" He saw the three robins looking a bit upset, "But I know it's none of you because if the fort wasn't sturdy enough to even stand that long, then none of you would have the knowledge on how to take down a building in a specific way without explosives or giving a heavy fight to make it fall." Belize sighed, and then started to walk off.
"Wait Belize." Belize stopped turned around and was hit in the face with one of the boards that was thrown at him. "What the hell? Who threw that at me?" the team was all looking at each other, none of them said anything they just shrugged. Belize was a little angry at them, "Fine who the hell told me to wait then?" The group looked at him confused. "Belize none of us told you to wait, all of us were talking about the chances of us getting the third challenge done, and see if we could plan ahead." Louise said Scott and Wolfie nodded in agreement with him.
Belize sighed "Well then you guys better hope that I'm in a better mood later, because if I'm not, I will be sure your lives are hell while this competition is going." Belize just glared at them and pointed two fingers at his eyes and then at the group, a common signal saying 'I will be watching you'. Belize then walked off to the next group.
"Who did throw that wood?" Wolfie said as he was looking at everyone, Scott was a little upset that Wolfie looked right at him first. "Hey it wasn't me I was with you talking about the challenge, and what the chances are we have at winning." Wolfie sighed and looked down at the ground, he knew Scott was right, he would have known if it was him, he then looked at the robin triplets. "Hey we didn't do this." Meggy said looking at Scott and Wolfie.
"Yeah how are you assuming it was us?" Redgy came up and asked them, Eggy was about to say something, but something caught his eye he ran over to the object and picked it up a note fell out of it and it had strange writing on it. Eht liw fol ngi aro ecn ofo ien hts ede rts tcu noi afo ll. Uoy vah ebe nee raw den ! Eggy took the note to Wolfie.
"What is that?" Wolfie took it from Eggy and then read it. "What kind of language is this?" He then shrugs "Whatever we need to make plans on the challenge whatever it is, because I'm sure that Belize is going to make sure he tortures us." Wolfie then threw the paper on the ground and stepped it into the dirt.
Then walked over and called the group together a little away from the destroyed fort, the piece of paper started to have dirt wiped off of it and then a growl as it was folded neatly and into a paper airplane and launched to the direction of the next group, where Belize was heading.
Belize stopped and looked at Team Wind's fort. Belize kept an eye on Tuffy to make sure he didn't do anything stupid. Belize started to enter the fort until he was hit in the head by the paper airplane. "What the hell?" Belize grabbed the plane and opened it up; he read the letter and didn't know what it meant. "What kind of sick joke is this?" he looked in the direction it came from no one was in that direction. He then sighed and started to go into the fort again, Belize inspected it and then went outside and inspected the outside, then he tapped a few spots on the fort and took notes.
"Well congratulations team wind, I'm about ninety-five percent sure, one of you are the ones that destroyed my confessional room." Everyone looked at Belize shocked, "What no way we did that." Rocha said to Belize in a little angry manner, Belize just brushed off her complaint. "Well now what shall be the punishment for this one… Hmm I'm thinking I will cripple one of you and make sure you lose this challenge just so I can personally send one of you home." Belize then smirked as he was looking around the group.
Belize then pulled out the weapon the intern was using and took aim and fired a shot at Splinter hitting him in the chest knocking him out cold. Right after that happened Belize's walkie-talkie crackled and Zack was on the other end of it. "Umm B-Belize I-I really think you sh-should come and watch the video t-that was recorded…" Belize then pulled up the radio, "What's that Zack? I didn't catch what you said, was a little busy crippling this team that I'm almost positive destroyed the confessional room." A couple seconds later "Belize just get here now hurry." Belize was shocked that Zack was almost pleading him to get there, he knew something was not right.
Belize ran as fast as he could up to the hosts' cabin and went down the stairs to the control room where they watch the videos from the hidden cameras so that they can catch people cheating or plotting things. Belize saw Zack cowering in fear in the corner of the room. Belize then re-winded the tape and watched the tape, nothing happened it just shut off and didn't show anything about the collapsed room.
Belize went over to Zack, "Zack man… What's wrong? What has you so scared?" Zack was just shivering and didn't respond to Belize. "Okay come on we need to get you out of here and in the sun." Belize got Zack up and pushed him over to the stairs and got him up and out of the room, then pushed him out into the open of the island breeze, Zack calmed down a bit, but was still near hyper-ventilating.
"Now, what happened? I watched the tape, there was nothing there…" Belize then thought about something, he knew one of the applicants loved to solve mysteries, so Belize figured to take the note and Zack to him and see what he can do about it. Belize pulled Zack over to Team Life and sat Zack down, "Hey Cola, since you got a two day pass, mind solving a little mystery here?" Cola's face suddenly busted in a smile, "Yes I would love too." Belize slowly back away, "Okay well for now make sure Zack gets better, I still have to go on with the challenge… Get him to radio me whenever he gets better." Belize then walked over back to Team Winds fort and finish a talk with them.
Belize got back to the group and saw they were just standing there over Splinter who was still knocked out and on the ground. "What the hell Belize." Rocha said as she ran over to him and punched him. Belize just laughed a little. "What I told you I know one of you destroyed my confessional room and almost destroyed an expensive camera, I'm giving you what you deserve a heavy obstacle in the way that will make things challenging." Belize then started his walk over to Team Water's fort.
"What the hell is his problem?" Tuffy said, after finally getting back to normal with talking from the minor delirium he has been dealing with. "I don't know, but he better hope I don't kill him, soon." Tuffy smiled "I agree he needs to be taught a lesson, but we really need to get Splinter some help." Rocha and Tuffy both grabbed Splinter and lifted him up and started to walk him over to Team Life so they can keep an eye on him while they do the challenge.
Belize got over to Team Waters fort did an examination and walked around and then went inside, got out and tapped four spots of the fort, but it was still standing. "Well this isn't a good sign." Belize said while writing down in his notes. "Wait what isn't a good sign?" Silver said trying to get up to the notepad and see what Belize was writing.
Belize just kept silent and kept the notepad away from their eyes, he then pulled out the same weapon he shot Splinter with pointed it to Lifty and fired the weapon, but before it could hit Lifty Shifty jumped in front of the bean bag and got hit in the stomach, everyone around heard a crunching noise and then realized it was Shifty's ribs breaking.
"Belize what the hell was that for?" Splendid said while the whole group was running over to Shifty who started to cough out blood. Belize shrugged, "Well I didn't intend that to happen, but whatever… I'm almost disappointed in the group, you get the best cabin we are offering and someone here possibly destroyed my confessional, that's not good." "What the hell are you talking about; we were trying to get information from Lifty about what happened to him in there, once you and Zack drug him into the cabin." Belize shrugged, "whatever I'm really not in that much of a trusting mood since someone destroyed my confessional, and then after I was leaving Team Earth's area one of them threw a wooden plank at me and hit me in the arm almost hitting me in the head."
Belize then put the weapon back up and started to walk away, "So I crippled the two most likely teams that done it, now to narrow down who it was and personally deal with them myself." Belize then turned to walk away from the place to go to Team Life's but then he realized they skipped it… Belize sighed and then pulled out the bullhorn, "Okay we have concluded the pre-challenge, now for the main challenge… If your fort has been destroyed, You have lost the challenge already, but lucky you its just you are not involved in it, so go to your dwelling and sleep, do whatever I don't care." Belize then looked around. "Team Wind, Team Water… Meet me over by the Hosts' cabin for the challenge."
Belize then went over to Team Life's cabin and went to check on Zack. "So guys how is he doing?" Cola shrugged "I don't know, he keeps saying she's watching, and they are coming to get you Belize." Belize looked at him confused. "What do you mean?" Flippy went over to Belize "We don't know okay, but whatever it is; it seems you pissed off someone terribly." Belize just laughed, "Whatever I'm not afraid of her, and I'm going to continue this, now let's get the show on the road."
Belize figured Zack will be fine staying there and then ran over to the hosts' cabin, He got there and the teams were already there. "Okay so this is how it works one team has six, members one team has seven members, so we modified it just a little." Belize pressed a button and an obstacle course started to lift up from the ground, from a hidden trapdoor they were shocked they didn't see or feel.
Belize just laughed and smiled, until he noticed that each team was missing one competitor. "Okay what the hell, both of the teams have one competitor missing, humph damn that means both you are forced to forfeit, and I hate that, but then again thinks to this being a double forfeit I get to pick a random competitor from either team to be eliminated and I get to have the fun of eliminating." Belize smiled, but then Shifty started to slowly walk up to the group with crutches.
"Well theres one, damn that means that unless Splinter shows up, Team Wind you are about to be down another player." Chuckles was ignoring everything playing on his handheld. Belize saw this and went over to him, grabbed the handheld and broke it. Chuckles looked up at Belize and then looked upset, but then pulled another one out of a bag and started to play it.
Belize was reaching for it again, but then stopped and sighed, "Whatever… Just whatever…" Belize then walks to his post and starts a timer, if Splinter isn't with the group, then they lose and will have to eliminate another member. "How the hell is this fair Belize?" Belize looks around, "You know what your right a bit…" Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at Belize. Even Chuckles wasn't playing his handheld and was staring at Belize.
Belize looked at them "What, I'm only saying that, because if I get rid of the one member that destroyed my confessional then I wont get to have fun watching them suffer in harder challenges." Belize then pulled out the bullhorn "Okay we have a little switch going on, Team Wind, is out of the challenge and is being replaced with Team Earth."
Team Wind laughed and smiled and then high-fived, Team Earth hearing they were being switched was shocked and upset they had to go through the challenge. Team Earth made it to the obstacle course and Team Wind left… "Okay so the rules are simple there's seven parts of the course and you are going to carry a little object through everything, its like a relay, one finished their part they give the 'baton' to their teammate and then rest. This is the same, but a lot more dangerous." Belize smiled a bit.
"Okay the first part is the easiest to do, all you have to do is jump over the rotating log that has a nerve toxin on them, so if it hits, you will be paralyzed in a short amount, of time, so I suggest not to get hit… The second is a little more challenging, but not too much. Just climb the spike wall and do not get stabbed by them, I have coated them with a special poison, it's a slow killer so yeah it wont be good if you get stabbed."
Belize then showed one of the interns stabbing themselves with it on accident and then the result after a day. "Yeah he's better now, but he's just lucky there's a spot of the island that works just like home, but any way… the third part again more challenging and deadly, you are sitting at the top of the wall, once your teammate give you the 'baton' you will jump down onto the target, if you miss the target you fall into a deep hole and will take a while to get out."
Belize laughed at the imagination of his showing one of them getting stuck in the hole. "Okay anyway you get one shot you miss and land in the hole it's a waste of time and heavy potential of broken bones, so yeah have fun with that… The fourth part, well depending if your third member landed on the target or not, for the target is your safety switch, it gets hit, then it takes it from heavy challenge that will take a lot of effort to, using little effort, but still using a bit."
"Wait, so what will happen if they don't?" Louise said. Belize smiled and then pointed them to the fourth part of the obstacle course. There was electrical buzzing and the whole path was blocked with electric shooting across it. "Well they land the electric isn't as intense, and well there would be more room, to get across the platform to give the 'baton' to their fifth member."
"The fifth member will have to walk across this plank, get to the other side and give the 'baton' to their sixth member." Belize paused
for a minute just to see if anyone had any questions. Louise raised his hand. "I think I know your question… 'What's so dangerous about going across a plank that's over water?' Well to answer that the water is full of eels and leeches. So yeah fun, I think. Once you get to the sixth member it gets easier again, somewhat, the sixth member just has to climb up the tube ring the bell and then slide down the other side and I suggest time it correctly because there is a swinging pendulum at the exit of the slide, which is also greased, so there's no slowing down when you hear the pendulum about to swing by."
Belize laughed a little, "But don't worry about it, its dull and its slightly padded so it will just interfere with your time of finishing the obstacle course the seventh member get it and climbs up the rope to the top and rings the bell just like in gym class." Belize laughed a little.
"So how is that dangerous?" Belize smirked I purposely didn't make the last one dangerous for the hell of it, just watching everyone else suffer something and under pressure just makes them think, the longer they stay in, what more will they have to go through." Belize then looked at his watch "Damn that was a long explanation, whatever lets see who is going to what position?"
The teams got in a group with their own teams and selected who goes where. "Okay Team Earth Who is going where?" Wolfie got up and said what the group agreed on "I will be going through as first next Eggy, then Meggy, then Redgy, then Scott, then Louis, and last is Nano." Belize put that in his notes, "Okay Team Water, what is your choice?"
Lifty got up and sighed, "We have made a few changes, but I think we are sticking with this way, Shifty first, then Splendid, then Xzavior, then me, then Roxie, then Mime, and finally Silver." Belize wrote them down like that and smiled, "Well then everyone get to your platforms and let's begin." Everyone got to their stations and Belize pulled a starter pistol like actual relay races and fires it signaling them to go.
Wolfie was going fine and kept jumping over every log that went at him, once he finished it he sighed relieved he's done with the challenge and he didn't have much to worry about, Shifty was having some trouble, but with the crutches he just used them like legs and stepped over all the logs and both finished nearly the same time, and they gave the baton to their teammates.
Eggy started to climb up the poison spikes slowly to see how he can climb it without stabbing himself once he got used to it he got progressively faster at it, Splendid watching him copied him and nearly caught up, but dropped the baton. Eggy reached the top and handed it to Meggy, Meggy looked down at the target and started to have a flashback memory of when her mother pushed her, and her brothers out of the nest, she stopped and froze giving Splendid enough time to catch up and hand the baton to Xzavior.
Meggy then gathered enough courage and jumped Xzavior looked down and moved a little over and jumped down both fell pretty fast each one landed right on the target giving their fourth member the slightly increased path to give the baton to their fifth member.
Meggy handed the baton to her other brother, Redgy who without thinking just grabbed it and jumped across the platform right past the electric field with no problem at all and handed the baton to Scott. Once Xzavior handed off the baton to Lifty, Lifty broke into a sprint and tried to just jump through the electric field not caring to much if he gets hurt, he just knows he must catch up to with Redgy. Lifty made it through only singeing his tail slightly and gave the baton to Roxie.
Scott and Roxie were neck and neck going slowly across the plank trying not to lose their balances and falling into the water, Roxie didn't care too much, but she knew singed fur would not look good on her, nor leeches sucking out her blood. She started to think about the singed fur and then she just ran across the plank leaving Scott behind once she crossed she gave the baton to mime and then ran away from the obstacle course just to make sure no one pushes her into the water.
Scott seeing that laughed and almost lost his balance, but he knew they were ahead and he didn't want to lose so he picked up his pace and made it across and handed the baton to Louise. Mime was almost half way up the tube, Louise started to catch up, Mime rang the bell first and then quickly got on the slide, Louise heard the bell and moved faster he made it to the top rang the bell and started to slide down as slow as he could. Mime was half way down having fun and silently laughing.
Mime completely forgot about the swinging pendulum and once he left the slide out into the open it swung and hit him into the wall of the hosts' cabin and caused a little crack in the wall. Belize looked at the scene "What the… Damn it my wall is ruined." Louise made it out of the slide and timed it correctly getting past the pendulum, he then slid to the last post handing the baton to Nano, who started to climb the rope.
Mime got up and ran over to Silver and then she started going up the rope, Nano was near the top and let a bit cocky and looked down at Silver and started to laugh a little then she figured she would make Silver freak out. "Hey Silver, Belize is behind you." Silver looked behind and then down and saw she was pretty high up and she didn't like heights too much she felt dizzy and let go of the rope, frantically trying to grab it again once she did she clung to the rope and didn't move. Nano happily got to the top and rang the bell.
Belize pulled out the Bullhorn "We have our winners folks, Team Earth, So Team Water you will stay here at the host cabin, everyone else go to your dwelling, until further notice the confessional will be in the hosts' cabin, and speaking of which I need Crème, Belle, Chelsie, Disco Bear, Petunia, and Shifty… Everyone else, but Team Water and those mentioned Have a great nights sleep." Belize got off his post and got down to the obstacle course.
"Okay Silver I'm going to catch you just let go." Belize said, normally Silver doesn't trust so easily, but she had little to no choice, so she let go and fell on Belize, but he stood his ground and caught her. "Th-Thank you." Belize smiled, "Don't worry about it, get with your team vote the two who are going to fight to the death and then get a good nights rest." Silver nodded and went over to the group.
Belize smiled and then saw the people he called out to do confessionals saw he was being kind. "Okay umm no one, saw that understand?" Belize then pulled out the powerful weapon and aimed it at them, everyone nodded. "Good." Belize put the weapon back up. "I need to check on Zack, I will be right back." Belize then ran to Team Life's Cabin to check on Zack.
Belize made it to the cabin and knocked on the door, Cola answered it, "Oh hey Belize, he's a lot better now, but he doesn't remember saying anything about 'she's watching' or 'They are coming to get you'" Belize shrugged, and then felt something in his bag he remembered the note that hit him in the head. He pulled it out and gave it to Cola.
"Oh yeah I was hit in the head with this, I don't understand it do you mind trying to figure out?" Cola nodded "Sure no problem." Belize smiled and then went over to Zack, "So buddy you ready to rest and help me set up a new confessional?" Zack nodded "Sure, but I really don't like what's been going on man, I feel like something watching me almost all the time, I don't know what it is, but it doesn't feel right." Belize laughed a little, "Don't worry Zack stick by me and nothing will happen."
Cola then froze and dropped the note. Zack and Belize was looking at him, he just went over to Belize grabbed one of the papers from his notepad and started to write down a message in it. Eht liw fol ngi aro ecn ofo ien hts ede rts tcu noi afo ll. Uoy vah ebe nee raw den! Was what was written Belize said "Yeah so, what does it mean?" Cola then spoke "Its in a code that's hard to decipher for most, but once you get the hang of it, its simple… the message says 'The will of ignorance of one is the destruction of all. You have been warned!'…" Belize freezes, and started to think to himself What the hell is going on here?Belize then snaps to reality again.
"Umm okay thanks Cola, I have to go back to the hosts' cabin to get people to make their confessional." Belize then ran out of the cabin and up to the hosts' cabin and saw everyone was still there. "Okay so team Water have you decided which two are going to fight to the death?" Lifty was up, as much as I hate to say it… Yes the two we have chosen is… m-my brother, and Silver." Belize smiled, okay but since Shifty has to make a confessional, he's going to do that just in case he dies." Shifty let a sigh of relief, but he knew it was only temporary.
Belize motioned for everyone that was making a confessional to get into the office, he then set up a camera in Zack's area of the room, Belize then got everyone outside again, "Okay so I figured I will keep something hidden so, yeah the main part of the cabin is going to be the confessional. First up Belle…" Belle got into the door and shut it sat in front of the camera and started her confessional. While Belize sat outside with the rest of the ones making a confessional.
"Well this is just strange, but at least there's a lighter feel here in this place." She looks around, "I think Belize is being a jerk, for what reason I don't know, but I also thinks he somehow is getting a liking for me… I don't want to know why, but I'm sure if Lammy figured out, she would not let him hear the last of it." She looks around "I actually like this place I wonder how long the confessionals will be held here." She got up and opened the door letting in the breeze from the dusk air outside.
Crème decided she would go next, "I can't believe I didn't get much of a talking part this time, I mean really, Belize you are a jerk, and I can't believe that you didn't read a single note." She then looks over her shoulder and saw the same exact note that she found before the pre-challenge. "So I guess he did read it." She put the note back down and then got up and walked out.
Disco Bear was next, he walked in and got in front of the camera, he just sat there and smiled at the camera "I told you ladies I am doing this for you, and the Disco king is getting some action tonight… Oh Yeah…" He then gets up and starts dancing his way out of the room.
Chelsie and Petunia was playing rock, paper, Scissors to see who goes next, Petunia got rock and Chelsie got scissors, Petunia got up to go in, but Shifty was already in the door and had it shut. "What the heck Shifty… How dare he do that to a lady?" Chelsie laughed a little, "I guess he never heard of ladies first."
Shifty put the crutches down and smiled "I cant believe my trick worked… Lifty was right about the weapon it was powerful, but lucky me I preplanned to get shot, I even had a few objects I could break to make it sound like I was injured… I just cant believe they still voted for me to fight a Girl, I cant do anything about that now… If I kill her then I hurt an innocent female, which is against the code of thieves, but if I die, I die and get eliminated. Why did they vote me?" Shifty then grabbed the crutches and started to head to the door again. Opened it and walked out muttering.
Petunia went in next since she won the rock, paper, scissors game to go before Chelsie. Petunia gets in front of the camera, well this place is very nice, I'm actually jealous, a bit… Belize and Zack sleep in here and we get near the same, but not as nicely decorated. All well its fun, but I cant get a feeling something bad is going to happen soon." Petunia sighed and then felt something land on the back of her neck she scratched it and then the sensation came back again, and then she got up and saw a mirror and saw that dust balls was landing in her fur, and all were attracted around her neck.
She started to scream since she hated things to be dirty, and she was not used to dust balls landing on her and interfering with her this bad before, Chelsie came running in the door and over to Petunia. "What is it? What's going on?" Chelsie saw Petunia rocking in a fetal position, "The dust… it's got a mind of its own…" She then got up and ran out of the room. Chelsie sat there and looked confused. She then saw she was in the confessional camera so she started her confessional.
"So, umm yeah, she doesn't like dust that much, she's a bit OCD and yeah, nothing to worry about." Chelsie then hears whispers around the room, she starts looking all around, "W-who's there?" the whispers got louder, Chelsie started to cover her ears, which helped, until the whispers got louder again, and again. She couldn't take it any more she runs out of the hosts' cabin screaming "Shut up, just shut up, I have no idea what the hell you are talking about, just leave me alone." Chelsie then ran off into the forest and then she turned back around and ran down the trail to her team's cabin.
Belize sighed, he knew he would have to deal with that later, but at the moment he was going to watch Shifty fight Silver. Belize grabbed the armory of weapons and walked to the two challengers and opened it up, telling them they can pick what they want. Silver picks the bow and a few arrows, while shifty just picked a sword.
"Wait how am I supposed to fight in this condition?" Belize shrugged "I guess you can't… All well people are paying to watch this blood match so on your mark, get set, Kill." Silver got the bow loaded and took aim at Shifty; she didn't want to shoot at someone injured so she gave him a warning shot, hitting right at his feet only missing it by an inch.
Shifty scared for a second jumped and dropped the crutches, and was still standing up like nothing was wrong with him. Belize looked a little shocked, but then a little mad, but Silver was infuriated, that he lied to her and the team, for what? No reason at all… Silver took another arrow and took aim again this time intending to hit the target, she fires another arrow, but Shifty saw it coming and used the sword to hit the arrow away.
That angered silver more she pulled out dirt from the ground where some clay was that she knew was there and used it to paint her face like a warrior, she then grabbed the arrows she had left and got them lined up for a couple of fast shots, she knew she was going to have to take. She lines up the shot and fires, quickly reloaded and fired another, and then another, and then another. Shifty dodged the first, the second hit his arm and he dropped the sword, and the last one hit his other arm.
Silver then felt for the last arrow she had, she wrapped a leaf on it and set the leaf on fire and then took aim and fired the burning arrow at Shifty, the arrow flew through the air and finally managed to hit its target, right through the neck, Shifty started to make a gurgling sound as the blood was starting to flood in his neck going down his wind pipe and flooding his lungs with blood. The leaf on the other side of Shifty's body started to burn the fur and caught Shifty on fire in front of the group.
Everyone sat in Aww and in Fright as Shifty's body was burning up in front of them, Belize looked at him and then at Silver, "W-we have a winner… Silver." Team water was just looking at Shifty and then at Silver who looked like she was ready too kill anyone else that gets in her way, but once she got next to the group she wiped the clay off her face and gently put the bow back into the armory Belize had.
"Okay that's really not a good sign, umm I suggest none of you piss Silver off, especially if you are going to fight her to the death, in an elimination challenge." Everyone nodded in agreement and then they all went back to their cabin and went to sleep for the night, Belize and Zack went to their rooms in the Hosts' cabin and slept for the night, knowing that the next day will just bring more strangeness then before.
A/N And that's it for the third challenge, again another long chapter, phew… any ways yes the times Tuffy is speaking are supposed to signify like slight slur and skips of letters when people reach a certain level of dizziness, so that's what I was trying to aim for with that, and for the notes like the one Cola broke its written in a cryptic way I'm interested in seeing how many people know, if you don't, don't worry I will mention how its coded in a later chapter.
Belize: Damn man you have lost your mind…
No I have not I just love studying the various ways of encrypting messages… Not my fault I want to encrypt messages to make people wonder what's going on…
Belize: I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about Silver, you made her look so sweet and innocent, then that happened.
Oh yeah whatever, I'm sure their creator would like her a little more justified, getting angry like that over someone lying and things like that…
Any way yeah, that's the third challenge and Lammy and Shifty are out, what's going to happen next? Just wait…. Have fun everyone…
