"Oh. Hi. My name is Σ."
"Consider reviewing! It would be better if you did an actual review of the chapter, as that can help vΔ63a lot!"
"I'm gonna add something: that place you have seen I've built it myself! How did I do it you have to wait for it."
"Also a reminder, this story may contain spoilers for the new season! Spooky! Right? Okay, not really."
"Now where were we…"
"Oh! Bowie and Priya were just beginning their adventure. Priya getting a bit too excited and Bowie is a bit of a pessimist. Both queens."
…
"Oh, that wasn't funny?"
"Let's we what they are doing or not doing…"
TOTAL DRAMA- Σ DIMENSION- LEVEL 1- MILLIE-ON WAYS NOT TO DIE
Bowie and Priya landed in a quiet and peaceful-looking forest. Birds are singing and flowers are blooming.
Bowie: Okay… Interesting.
Looks like we are in a normal forest…
Wait.
Priya: It's the forest inside Total Drama Island!
Is the first level about the series?
Bowie: Oh. You're kidding, right?
A bird was flying in their sight. It was flying backward… And the sky suddenly changed its hue to a purple tone.
There is something wrong.
Priya: Oh. I wonder what's the challenge.
Priya's dodecahedron glowed, showing a screen right after.
WELCOME TO THE SURREAL FOREST
Think of this part of the level as the "tutorial level".
For now, walk towards [POINT B] after selecting "MAP" in the menu.
There might be some traps along the way, so pay attention to anything suspicious!
If you want a refresher on your mission in the level, select "QUEST".
Enjoy the game!
[↓]
Priya: This feels suspiciously like Chris.
What if it was him?
Bowie: Pfft. Really? I don't think he is a programmer.
Priya: Okay, you have a fair point.
Bowie: Now. Let's walk to that point.
After accessing the menu with his shape, Bowie selected MAP. The destination is located in front of a lake.
It's not too far away from here, we should get there in at least ten minutes. They said there were traps, huh?
Priya: I already see one.
There was a string between two trees that lead into a big net with melons on it.
Bowie: Good catch, girl. This might be as well a breeze.
[ INTRO
They walk along the path, looking and walking around traps. One was a trap made of leaves, which Bowie almost falls into, but Priya catches him. Another trap activated as soon as they walked through some rocks, as they started rolling back. After tripping, Priya almost gets squashed by a boulder but gets promptly saved by Bowie. It's a chain of endless saving one and the other…
[I can tell you what it's all about if you want to be free.
You're standing in the shadow, I'm wondering why.
You're in the dark.
And you'll go fighting harder, harder now.
You want someone by your side. (Oh really?)
Just fight to the end to gain the freedom, freedom you want back. (What's this all about?)
Come and take it, I can show you how it's done.
Come and take it when no one is around.
Come and take it, I can show you how it's done.
You'll be lost and You'll be found... (Have you ever thought about it?)
(We go to fight and there is no way back.)
We'll be lost and we'll be found… (Have you ever thought about it?)
(We go to fight and there is no way back.)
And there is no way back. (No way back.)
Have you ever thought about it?
You go to fight and there is no way back.
No way back.
Have you ever thought about it?
You go to fight and there is no way back.
No way back.]
INTRO END]
Priya: We're almost there!
I see a lake over there.
...So, Bowie, what did you do after the show?
Bowie: Now that you ask, what did you do?
Priya: Not much, I was about to start to study medicine. My parents were so proud of me after I won the season! They want me to win next season… But honestly, I am happy with one million, I don't need another one.
Bowie: Hm.
Priya: So what did you do then?
Bowie: Life's pretty normal. I've gone on a date with Raj, and Oh goodness, he is so cute! Like a dog. I think he might have one of my shirts though. I've also rewatched the season and I can say I played very well!
Priya: Well, me too! Except when my team lost the "Walk through the forest with dinosaur chasing you while you fart" challenge. Damien could have told me he didn't want to get voted out anymore. He started playing well at that point… Since, you know, he was a genius and might have been as well the love of my life-
Why are you looking at me like that?
Bowie: You got a crush on him.
Bowie is staring at Priya with a smiling face. She starts to blush a bit.
Priya: No! I mean… No! Okay, maybe. We didn't get in touch while outside the game though, so… I'm not sure. He is cute and all, but...
Bowie: Oh?
...Priya there is a trap right there.
Priya: Do I have-
Priya gets caught in a rope that sends her upwards hitting one branch of a tree.
Ough!
Bowie: Great, now how do I get you out of there?
Priya: Ex-Excuse me!
I was just... distracted…
Bowie frees Priya by undoing the trap.
Bowie: If all this game is true, you should set feelings outside, like moi.
It's saving or death. If it isn't… put it on the back burner.
Priya: You're right…
Priya's polyhedron glows as they arrive at their destination. The lake has a distinctly blue color and smells like lemons. In the center, there is a big rock.
We're here! The lake doesn't look right.
Bowie: Why does it smell like lemons?
That is not right.
Some wacky tunes start to play.
1ST PART LEVEL 1- Counting!
The request for this part is simple.
Count the things that you see in front of you!
To input a number, use your shape to add or remove the count. To count more quickly, hold. The thing only counts if it's inside the area of the lake.
Get it correctly and nobody happens to you, but even getting one wrong will make you get pelted with BOMBS!
Get one off and you get one bomb, while getting two of you get two bombs, and so on. The damage the bombs do are exponential with the number of errors, so be careful!
This part requires both of you to play, and you'll count separately for your own. There are eight rounds in this part, each with different times.
[↓START↓]
Priya: It doesn't seem so bad, right?
Bowie: What is this music? It reminds me of something, but I cannot pick it...
And I don't want to explode…
Priya was staring at Bowie angrily.
But we need to do it for the sake of everyone- blah blah.
Bowie presses the start button. A plate of cheese appears on top of the rock.
Round 1- COUNT THE CHEESE- 10 SECONDS
Priya: Oh. It's a piece of cake then!
Bowie: I wouldn't say that if I were you.
RESULT:
Priya: 1
Bowie: 1
Actual number: 1
The cheese disappears.
Round 2- COUNT THE BIRDS- 10 SECONDS
The birds seem to fly sideways...
Bowie: Why no bird seems to fly correctly?
Priya: There aren't so many anyway.
RESULT:
Priya: 7
Bowie: 7
Actual number: 7
Round 3- COUNT THE FISH- 10 SECONDS
Fishes!
Priya: Look at them! They are so cute!
Bowie: Why are you calling a fish "cute"?
RESULT:
Priya: 7
Bowie: 7
Actual number: 7
Round 4- COUNT THE BALLOONS- 20 SECONDS
Lots of balloons. A disaster could happen. Okay, not really, they're not many.
Priya: Thing's a breeze!
Bowie: They are all different colors, this isn't too bad.
Several balloons pop.
Oh.
Bowie lowers his count.
RESULT:
Priya: 20
Bowie: 15
Actual number: 15
Priya: Wait, what?
Five bombs get thrown at Priya.
Bowie: Look out!
Priya dodges all of them.
Priya: Now, it's getting harder!
Bowie: It was simple, you just had to remove the popped balloons.
Round 5- COUNT THE LIGHTNINGS- 15 SECONDS
A metal rod appears on top of the rock.
Bowie: How do we count that?
Priya: Count the impacts?
RESULT:
Priya: 6
Bowie: 4
Actual number: 4
Priya: Oh no!
Two bombs get thrown at Priya. It seems to have overshoot.
Bowie: You should pay more attention.
Priya: I wasn't trained on this!
Bowie: What do you mean trained-
We need to focus!
Round 6- COUNT THE BIRDS- 40 SECONDS
An actual flock appears. They are flying in circles.
Priya: Oh, no.
Bowie: How many those are?
Priya: They are 53, right?
Bowie: It looks like it.
RESULT:
Priya: 53
Bowie: 53
Actual number: 53
Priya: We got it right!
Bowie: Now what?
Round 7- COUNT THE PETALS- 45 SECONDS
Petals fall from the sky.
Bowie: How do we count that?
The petals are so far away.
Priya: Okay… Here!
Bowie: They seem to be more than they seem.
RESULT:
Priya: 108
Bowie: 110
Actual number: 100
A volley of bombs is thrown at the duo.
Oh, crud.
Argh!
Three bombs hit Bowie.
Priya: Oh no! Are you okay?
Bowie: They didn't do too much, luckily.
Priya: We have 1 round left, what will be next?
FINAL Round- COUNT THE BEES- 60 SECONDS
Bees. Do you like jazz?
Bees? Now what?
Bowie: We have one minute, right?
They don't seem many.
The bees multiply exponentially.
Gosh. Of course, that happens.
Priya: Oh, no!
Ten seconds left! We have to go fast!
They hold their dodecahedron to raise the count as quickly as they can!
RESULT:
Priya:500
Bowie: 376
Actual number: 400
Priya: What!?
Bowie: RUUUUN!
Bowie runs to the forest behind one of the trees. Priya is shocked by the number of errors.
PRIYA!
He is terrified by the explosion the bombs caused against her.
[-8 HEALTH PRIYA]
NO!
Don't tell me now I am the only one saving everyone!
The ground didn't receive any damage. Bowie runs into Priya who was coughing.
Bowie: Oh dear, are you alright?
Priya: Ugh…
Priya's shape glowed and showed a screen.
HEALTH
You always need to keep an eye on your health.
It has 10 sections, you run out, you're good as dead, and you will return in the lobby, leaving the other one still saving.
If everyone gets eliminated from a level, the level is considered a failure and the level will be replaced with another one back in the list.
One suggestion. Never.
Never.
Never.
Never, touch the multi-colored ink.
It's highly dangerous. And if you die with it you won't return.
Unless you obtain a certain power, never.
Ever.
You can check out someone's status by pressing the dedicated section.
As a first time, the damage will be healed.
[↓]
[+8 HEALTH PRIYA]
Huh? I feel much better now.
Thanks, Uh….. Shape.
Bowie: We have to go forward. Wait.
What do they mean by ink?
Now Bowie's polyhedron showed a screen too.
2ND PART LEVEL 1- Bugs.
You unlocked the Buggy!
It will be your main transport, and you can summon it at any time with the unlocked section. It has unlimited fuel!
You also unlocked weapons!
For now, you have a baseball bat, bow and arrows, and some bombs!
They have unlimited ammo, always summonable with a new unlocked section.
Simple task again, with the buggy, go to [POINT B]. You're almost there to save someone!
[↓START↓]
Bowie summoned the buggy.
Bugs?
Is this the part of the game where we go through a horde of bugs?
Priya: What?
Bowie: I drive.
You do… whatever. If they gave us weapons you're probably the one better at them.
Priya: Okay!
Priya selected the map section of her menu. The destination is a little far away.
We have to drive up north. To some place called "The Nest".
Bowie: We'll drive through.
Priya: Let's waste no time!
As the engine starts they drive away from the view.
Meanwhile… Millie is sobbing.
Millie: Why!
Am I stuck here forever!?
Please, somebody.
A noise is heard.
Priya?
Anyone there?
I'm here! Oh.
A giant bug is reaching her cage.
Later...
Priya: ...And that's why I wanted to study medicine.
Bowie: Okay….
Aren't there supposed to be bugs?
The only thing happening is that we are getting away from the forest…
Girl, where are we now?
Priya activates the shape and selects the map section.
Priya: The river is not far away!
Bowie: Oh thanks Miss Obvious. I can see.
Bowie stops the vehicle.
...
?: Is someone there?
Priya: Millie? You're there?
Millie: Oh my gosh! Priya!
You're here!
Priya: Don't worry! I'm getting out of-
Bugs catch Millie. She goes to the other side of the river.
Millie: NO!
Priya: Oh no!
Let's get her!
Bowie: How do we get her?
Oh wait, there is a button for it.
Bowie starts the vehicle. The buggy glides through the waters of the river after its wheels changed.
Millie: HELP! THESE BUGS KEEP BUGGING!
Bowie: What?
Priya: We'll save you!
Priya starts launching arrows and bombs toward the bugs.
Meanwhile…
A mysterious person arrives at the lobby. It's still dark from when the duo left to save Millie. He's very short but stocky, with visible muscles. He has chestnut hair swept back and he's pale, with visible eyebags around his eyes. He wears a vest with a blue diamond checked pattern, a white shirt with its sleeves ripped, a red tie, dark blue shorts, and black leather shoes. He also has a pair of gloves and an earring in his right ear. He's walking around and looking at the writings carved on the walls. He calls someone from a red, and a bit bulky, smartwatch.
"Hello?"
"Yes, the letters are here. They are approximately five for five big."
"I can confirm the writing are in the correct language you referred me to. They are made to run this place. It was created to be indestructible. It seems to be placed in a non-euclidean space, so despite this structure being gigantic, it might only occupy a size of a micro-home in real life."
"Yes. It was made by a"
"This place belongs to whom?"
"Very well. See you later."
As he closes the call, he looks at the chandelier and opens a portal.
"I hope their destiny won't end in disgrace." He walks through the portal as he thinks.
As the portal closes, we see an explosion. Priya kept launching bombs. There are way fewer bugs than before.
Bowie: It's working!
Keep it-
Priya: Millie!
Millie: Priya! Why would you throw one in the cage and-
Boom! The cage falls, as the bugs remaining weren't able to keep the cage flying. Millie screams as she falls right in front of a weird purple nest.
Bowie: The Nest, huh?
Priya: I'm here! Let me get you out-
Huh?
A barrier blocked her to go even near the nest. Priya's polyhedron glows.
3ND PART LEVEL 1- BOSS BATTLE
The last part of the level always consists of a Boss Battle!
You only have a short amount of time!
Well. What should I say?
Defeat it, or save Millie and escape to the other side of the river.
[↓START↓]
A giant bug appears right in front of their eyes, along with a health bar. Bowie grabs the baseball bat as he goes down from the buggy.
Priya: We'll get her out and get out of here.
Bowie: Okay, then. Give me the bombs.
It's showtime!
They jump toward the big bug as they attack with their weapons. Priya shoots some arrows and Bowie throws some bombs. They seem to work.
Millie: Over here!
Priya: Millie!
Bowie: Priya, watch out!
The bug shoots something from its mouth toward her, and it hits! She crashes onto a rock.
[-4 HEALTH PRIYA]
Priya: Ow!
Bowie launches three bombs in a row.
Bowie: We should defeat this monster first!
Priya: This "monster" is way too strong!
Bowie: We're a quarter way through, we can do it.
Priya: Yeah, but the time left isn't a lot.
Bowie: There is still a few left.
Priya shoots two arrows at the same time, they do a lot of damage.
Priya: I don't think so.
Bowie: Oh you don't... oh girl...
Millie: Watch out!
The bug shoots something again. It's much bigger. Bowie jumps away.
Bowie: Priya!
[-5 HEALTH PRIYA]
The thing crashes onto her, who flies back.
Priya: Ugh.
That… hurts…
The giant bug jumps right into her. She can't do much.
Bowie: Oh dear.
Now, I'm on my own.
Millie: NO! PRIYA!
NO!
Bowie: Don't worry...
Hah!
Bowie throws as many bombs as he can. He runs towards the bug.
Bowie: It's low on health. -Kay.
As he jumps he hits it with the bat. The bug launches something.
That wasn't enough!? ARGH!
[30 SECONDS LEFT]
Millie: Oh Priya...
...Time's running short!
[-3 HEALTH BOWIE]
Bowie: Oh, crud, the bombs! Where are they?
Focus.
As he grabs the bat tightly, he activates something. The bat changes, as it gains star patterns and becomes silvery.
Bat: [STAR MODE]!
Bowie: What?
I found gold!
[20 SECONDS LEFT]
The bug is charging something. Bowie runs as fast as he can.
Bowie: I. Won't. Lose. AGAIN!
[10 SECONDS LEFT]
Bowie jumps as the bat glows unleashing a cloud of little stars.
[9 SECONDS LEFT]
He starts spinning and the bat glows with a bright light.
Bat: [READY]!
[8 SECONDS LEFT]
The bug unleashes a ray of energy. Bowie defects it with the bat.
[7 SECONDS LEFT]
[6 SECONDS LEFT]
Bowie screams as he smashed the bug, and a gorgeous star-shaped strike appears.
Bat: [SMASHHHHH]!
[5 SECONDS LEFT]
The bug flies into the horizon as it gets defeated.
[CLEAR!]
Bowie: Oh, my gosh.
Millie's cage opens. Bowie walks to it.
Millie: You did it!
...Where's Priya?
Bowie: Back to the lobby.
Millie: What do you mean?
Bowie: This is just a game. Trust me.
Millie: Oh.
Bowie's shape glows, showing a screen.
LEVEL 1- SUCCESS
YOU DID IT!
You unlocked Millie. Now, you'll return to the main hall soon!
[↓CONTINUE↓]
It is a game, then.
I hope she is okay.
Bowie: Let's go on.
Bowie gives his hand to Millie.
Millie: I…
Bowie: It's not Total Drama. Put aside the worries.
Millie grabs his hand, and the world becomes white.
[CONTINUES…]
Okay, that took a while, but it's out. The next level will be told in the next chapter! Things will get harder from this point.
Delta's out!
