As the campers all shuffled over to the Mess Hall, Chris was standing in front of it, talking to Chef. "Hey, Campers, "The host began. " Well, it's time for your first challenenge! Now, this is more of a way that we can see what you guys can do! Please look to my right." He gestured to part of the camp which had been cleared and the 'challenge' was placed on it. Ten different structures made of solid brick, with no windows or doors. "Chris, what man, did you hire a blind contractor?" Cameron sneered. Chris ignored him. What a shocker. Sam concentrated for a moment, then frowned when he read the challenge in the hosts' mind.

"Well, campers, before you there are ten structures. Inside of each is a flag which you must retrieve. Whichever team has the most flags at the end of the challenge wins invincibility. The other is sending someone home. So, line up in front of a hut and crack dat sucka open!" Chris exclaimed, and the others lined up, one after the other.

(Confession Cam……)

Cameron grins then speaks to the camera. "Easy Win."

Effie: "Of course, choose the thing that takes all the brain power of a crab to win. Chris sucks." (A.N.: what was your first clue, honey? -_- )

Sam rubs his arm nervously: "I hope I can do this or my whole team's gonna hate me."

Cameron grinned and raised his hands. He fired twin jets of blue flames, which engulfed the little brick hut. When they abated, there was a sizzling hole in the wall, which, everyone saw, was about half a foot thick. He smugly strode in and came out holding a blood-red flag in his hand. He smirked and remarked, "Heh, easy win." Jamie saw this, frowning at his bravado.

(Confession Cam…)

Jamie:"…I really hate that guy."

Victoria was up next. She strutted over to her bunker, and placed her hand on it. She furrowed her eyes in concentration, and dark green mist began trailing from the bricks. Victoria was feeding poison into the wall, and, in a few seconds, it dissolved away. She hopped through the sizable hole she had created, emerging with an acid green flag clutched in her fist. She simply smirked and strutted back to where she started.

"Ohhhh, nice one, Victoria." Chris complimented. She nodded absentmindedly, obviously not caring about the host in the least. (A.N: This is going to be a recurring theme. No one cares what Chris has to say. )

Next up, Sam simply stared at the wall. He walked up to it, staring at it sheepishly. "Ummm, there isn't really anything I can do here…" He trailed off, then gave the brick wall a half-hearted kick. "Ohhh, sorry dude, you is out!" Chris announced, not sounding sorry in the least. Sam strode back to the line, his head hung in shame.

Effie simply stared at the wall, then walked up to it. She turned her head to Cameron, then concentrated on him.

You will destroy my bunker. Her silent voice commanded in his thoughts. He clutched his temples, then his eyes glazed over a bit. He raised his arms, firing the twin jets of flame at the bricks, obliterating them. Effie smiled, nodded her head, satisfied, and grabbed her lemon yellow flag from inside. As she walked back to the line, Cameron shook his head like someone waking from a dream, then scowled at the psychic who had just finished. Who was now being congratulated by Victoria.

(Confession Cam…)

Cameron: Use me like that?! Do I look like a shovel to you?! Just some tool!"

Chance was next, and he raised his hands, a green aura forming around them as he activated his powers. Suddenly, all the bricks on his bunker flew away from one another, removing it completely. He grabbed his cocoa brown flag, then sheepishly ran back to his group.

Chris cocked an eyebrow at that, but launched into his expensive face-time. " Well, the Chipmunks have one failure. Will the Beaver's beat that with a perfect score? I seriously doubt it. But, let's see if I'm wrong."

Jamie walked up first, then took in a deep breath and closed his eyes. He opened them and started running towards his bunker, picking up speed as he went. He leapt at the wall, his shape blurring as he did. A cloud of dust erupted from the brick structure, and, when it cleared, the bunker was demolished, and standing in the rubble, holding a pine green flag in its massive hand, was a Gigantopithecus with icy blue eyes. (Gigantopithecus, as everyone knows, is a bipedal ape creature standing approximately ten feet tall which went extinct roughly 100,000 years ago.. It is often attributed to numerous big foot sighting across North America.) The huge ape grinned, showing large, grinding teeth, and its form blurred, changing back into Jamie Kingston.

"Dude, most impressive. You get two thumbs up." Chris congratulated, and Jamie smiled, then noticed Kayla was staring at him with surprise. Jamie smiled at that, and a slight blush tinged his pale skin. He felt his face heat up, then jerked the hood of his jacket over his head to hide his blush.

Speaking of Kayla, she was actually the next person to go. She closed her eyes in concentration, and clouds covered the bright sunshine of the day. A lighting bolt lanced down from the sky, slamming into the bunker which held her flag and splitting it open. She hopped over and grabbed her purple flag from the wreckage. She strutted back to the Beavers, and Jamie smiled at her grin.

Next up was Shane, who, with a loud "Woo Hoo!", simply teleported inside to get his flag. His was pure white, and, while Chris was disappointed with the lack of explosions, still congratulated Shane on his good idea.

Naomi simply walked forward and through her wall, like a ghost. She re-emerged with her bronze colored flag, to applause from the other Beavers.

And, lastly, Nicki used her powers to reform the bricks into a tasteful gothic arching doorway, which she just ambled through to retrieve her pitch black flag.

" Well, campers , the Beavers are the winners of the first challenge." Loud cheers from said team. " Well, Chipmunks, what can I say, sucks to be you guys. Decide who you're voting for and meet me at the campfire pit tonight."

Every camper ambled into the mess hall for dinner, and got in line in front of the counter. Chef Hatchet stood behind the tubs of food, his arms folded over his massive chest. He scowled at the cameras as they followed the campers up to the counter.

"LISTEN UP, CANNON FODDER!!" The ex-army chief barked. " I COOK THREE TIMES A DAY!! AND YOU WILL EAT IT, THREE…TIMES…A DAY!!!" The campers looked somewhat unnerved by this. The first person to arrive for food was Kayla, who looked down at her plate, her face tinged green. Jamie was next, and, when his chili (please, god, let it be chili) was put in on his tray, it growled at him. Unfazed, he growled back, louder, and the chili quieted down. He nodded, satisfied, as the others came up to get theirs. The only person not near barfing was Shane, who simply poked his with a stick. Jamie sat down next to him and sniffed his plate. The scent of the semi-sentient food caught in his nose, and his throat tightened and his eyes watered. He grimaced, set his jaw, and morphed into a raptor, chomping on his plate. He swallowed all the food, then changed back, a nauseous look on his face.

" Dude, I do not recommend eating all this crap at once." He groaned, then turned when Victoria and Nicki shrieked. They had both chosen the sloppy Joes ( those fools!!) and their respective lunches were snarling and snapping at them. Cameron rolled his eyes and barbequed Victoria's, while Kayla stomped on Nicki's carnivorous entrée.

After all was said and done, it was time for the Chipmunks to head for the campfire ceremony. Chris stood leaning on his oil drum, a plate of marshmallows in hand. " Well, campers, here we are. I have four marshmallows on this plate, one person will be walking the dock of shame, boarding the boat of losers, and going home. And you can't come back. Ever." The campers looked nervously at each other, while Chance was literally biting his nails in apprehension. Chris looked between each of the campers in front of him, a marshmallow in hand, before he said, " The first marshmallow goes tooooo……"

To Be Continued…

A.N; Well, sorry for the wait. I hate school ;p. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed that first challenge. Okay, so, will the creators of Victoria, Cameron, Chance, Effie, and Sam please leave your vote in a review. If you don't, I'll decide for you. Review, please!
