Chapter Set! Read Away Fast!


Giggling Gryphons

Having gotten through the Hangar and Alien's Lair with ease, they were at the start of Tourian, looking down at the Metroids gathering, ready for their meal.

"So... You DID say your little brother is a retro gamer..." Benny said out loud. "That, and your mom has a tattoo of these Metroids on her upper back. Any strat to defeat them?"

"Well, it IS generous enough for Chris to leave us these letter I's." Cherri replied back. "Along with a second firearm."

"Something I know FAR too much about." Nelson commented. "Video Game Generosity is a thing for a reason. If they leave stuff behind for us to use, we are GONNA need them."

"Whatever, let's just blast them with our old weapons, like before." Yentoulis commented, as he began to shoot at one of the Metroids... Needless to say, it didn't work.

"Yento..." Ellis stated in a deadpan tone.

"Yentoulis!" Yentoulis scolded back.

"Right. Yentoulis. If it didn't work the first time, what's the chance it's gonna work now? Besides, regular bullets are useless against them." Ellis lectured. "It's modeled after a jellyfish, and jellyfish are mostly water. And by water, I mean 70% water. The rest of it is mostly poison. And fleshy stuff."

Moana smiled gently at Ellis. "Someone's been learning a little about sea-life from someone."

"Let's not forget to mention that they're also a HUGE annoyance in the Pokemon games." Mozart commented, as he turned towards Cherri. "So, how do we defeat these tubular science projects that's gone completely bogus and pear shaped?"

"Observe." Cherri answered, as she shot at a Metroid inching close to her, then picked up a secondary weapon, and started to fire missiles at it. A few shots later, the Metroid was destroyed. "Hey, when you have a little bro that plays retro games, you tend to learn these things."

"So, in short... Lay a Frozen status effect on the Metroid, then explode it with missiles?" Marissa asked, as she smiled. "Sounds like a plan!"

"Yeah." Ron replied out loud, as he had a Metroid attempting to suck him dry. "Now will this jerk just let it go?!"

Xantara shot at the Metroid, freezing it, and then blew it up with a few missiles.

"Thanks, Xantara." Ron thanked the New Age girl. "And I can't believe I made a Frozen reference!"

"Hey, my fault for giving us the Earworm status effect." Marissa commented out loud. "But what else can you name an alternative for the frozen status effect?"

Ellis shrugged. "I dunno. The cold... well, bothered me anyway."


Confessional: The author apologizes for all the Frozen references.

Ellis: Shame too... I used to like the Winter season... And Christmastime... Until my sis spoiled it for me.

Moana: Ellis reminds me of my little bro. Bright, and always eager to learn. Dude needs a sweetheart after what he went through.

Sting: -He is singing- Bees A-buzz, Something, Something But Thou Must, Jackie got a tribal tattoo in Summer... -He suddenly realizes he was singing- Wait, did I fluff up the lyrics, again? -He facepalms- DO-H!


In the next room, after Benny blew a hole through the door, they stepped in and were greeted by what appeared to be...

"Electronic Cherrios?" Sting asked out loud. "True they lower cholesterol, but these can also lower your HP as well."

"Personally, I'm fond of Fruity Pebbles, myself." Nelson commented out loud, as an intercom came on.

"Fruity?" Said a voice over the intercom. "I'll let you know what's fruity... Your eventual demise... WOOOOO!"

Yentoulis sighed. "Great... So we're battling Audrey 2."

Ron was concerned. "Um, yeah. Anyone brought any weed killer?" He asked, looking at Xantara.

"Sad to say, I don't have any on me..." Xantara replied back.

"Count me out as well." Cherri also said out loud. "I may be a tad bit knowledgeable about plants, what with my profession and all, but I don't have any weed killing properties on me."

Meanwhile, Mozart noted a pic on the wall. It appeared to be a picture of a rather tall and obese male wearing what appeared to be a crown on his head. Underneath the pic was a caption that read "King Hippo". But something was concerning Mozart... The King Hippo in the picture... Was blue.


Confessional: And not a member of the Blue Man Group

Mozart: King Hippo, dude? If you're watching this... Seriously, dude... Get medical attention right freakin' now. Cause that HAS to be a very severe case of Hypothermia.


The team continued through the corridor, blasting away at the Metroids, as the intercom came on again.

"Soooooo, having fun destroying my babies, are we?" The voice said out loud.

"Err... Should we call them babies to begin with?" Nelson asked. "I mean, what's the lifecycle of a Metroid to begin with, in the first place? I should ask Korpse later."

"From what I recall, they can get huge..." Cherri replied back towards Nelson. "Which in Super Metroid..."

Her eyes took on a dark glare.

"Ugh... 16-Bit Mother Brain, you piece of s***..." Cherri muttered under her breath.

"I wasssssssss talking to you all. Not the young girl and her GIRLFRIEND." The voice said over the intercom.

Nelson was alarmed. "Hey, whoa! She's not my girlfriend! We're just friends!"

"It doesn't look that way to meeeeeeee!" The voice said over the intercom as it went off.

Nelson sighed, as Cherri put a hand on Nelson's shoulder.

"Hey, don't listen to that troll." Cherri inquired with a gentle smile. "Besides, I ship you and Korpse together, anyway."

"Yeah... So, shall we continue on?" Nelson asked out loud.

"Yeah... Let's give this GIRLFRIEND some brain freeze." Cherri replied, grinning, as the intercom buzzed to life again.

"I heard that!" The voice scolded the two, surprising them.


In the next room, the Geeks started to go down, as the intercom came on again.

"I wouldn't go any farther if I were yoooooooouuuu... WHOOO!" The voice said through the intercom. "In fact, I know everything about you!"

"Like what?" Sting asked.

"Like I know the writing Nantwich lad played a lot of Resident Evil 4!" The voice answered. "And that the girlfriend is adopted!"

Nelson was alarmed, and angered. "Wait a moment, Miracle-Gro! I'm adopted! Where did you get this information?!"

"Yeah, that first bit with the Nantwich lad doesn't make any sense at all!"Marissa shouted out loud.

The voice continued. "That's not all! The Psychopath of Total Drama Brains Vs. Brawns is..."

The voice didn't finish, as a missile was fired at the intercom, destroying it.

"Vital Blabbing Apparatus..." Cherri commented with a grin as she blew into her gun barrel. "Destroyed."

"Um, you DO know that months from now, people will know this information?" Benny asked.

Cherri sighed. "Yeah, you may be right. At least we shut her up for a while."


The team continued to go down, blasting away at any Cherrio shaped blasts and any Metroids, and blasted through a door to another room. Once they were inside the room...

"I'm baaaaaacccccckkkkkk!" The voice rang out.

"As per usual." Mozart snarked back.

"You'll be happy to note that moi herself is in the next room." The voice replied back. "Don't keep a lady in charge waiting. WHOOOOOO!"

The intercom went off, as the team looked at each other.

"So... Who wants to take her on?" Ellis asked.


Confessional: I spy, with my little eye...

Nelson: I would take her on, if only to get back at that adoption remark. I don't mind my adopted parents, it's just so personal being different from them.

Cherri: Okay... Tips and tricks for trimming your Audrey 2... -She gulped- Bend over and kiss your carcass goodbye? We're screwed more than a bug in a spiderweb!


In the next room, tubes and pipes greeted the geeks. They entered, as they started to destroy some of the tubes blocking their path.

"Okay, this is for ALL the marbles." Benny said, as he shot at the tubes. "Go DOWN!"

"My, my... What a unruly guest..." The voice replied out loud. "Well, it would be RUDE as to not expose every inch of myself."

The tubes exploded simultaneously as the team shrugged as they made their way towards what awaited them...

"Guys?" Cherri asked out loud. "This ain't no Mother Brain I know."

Cherri was correct, to an extent. Because what awaited the team was a brain... Which appeared to be wearing a LOT of make-up.

"Then what other Mother Brains DO you know? I am THE Mother Brain, girl! WOOOO!" The voice, known as Mother Brain snarked back.

"THE Mother Brain?" Marissa asked. "Maybe you may be born with it... Maybe it's Maybelene... I dunno..."

"Whatever, let's shoot this thing!" Yentoulis replied back, as he shot a missile at the glass tube keeping Mother Brain in, breaking it.

"GAH! You made me smear my eyeliner!" Mother Brain snapped back.

"Er, I know a place where you can get some non-smear eyeliner." Sting lectured, as a thought hit him. "Wait... why am I telling this to an evil, stationary brain in a jar?"

"Whatever, we gotta keep these rings in check, while some people blast the heck outta this here Mother Brain." Ron suggested.

"Technically, they're called Rinkas." Nelson commented.

Ron sighed. "NOW you tell us."

"Me and Cherri can do it." Marissa and Cherri nodded, as they turned towards Mother Brain.

Cherri grinned. "Hey, Mother Brain! Time for a healthy dose of Brain Food!" She yelled out loud, as both Cherri and Marissa shot missiles at the Mother Brain. "Okay, that sounded a LOT better coming outta Moana's mouth."

"Whatever, let's keep on Engaging Momma, Mother Fluffer!" Marissa replied back.

The two girls continued to shoot missiles at Mother Brain, until eventually, the room started to shake.

"WHOOOO! You beaten me, gal pals!" Mother Brain yelled out loud in her dying words. "But you'll save a seat for the fireworks, won't you?"

Mother Brain then closed her eyes, as she faded away from existence, as the room continued to shake.

"Fireworks?" Benny asked, as he realized what she meant. "Oh... S***."

"What do you mean, Oh, s***?" Ron asked, as a message appeared on the Monitor.

TIME BOMB SET: GET OUT FAST!

"Oh... S***." Ron muttered out loud.


Confessional: Run, Run! Before you're well done! ...Wait, that's another game.

Olivia: Wow, that Mother Brain was... well, a thing, to be honest.


Powerhungry Polar Bears

They too, were finishing off Mother Brain, as she did the same speech to the two.

"WHOOOO! You beaten me, gal pals!" Mother Brain yelled out loud in her dying words. "But you'll save a seat for the fireworks, won't you?"

"Fireworks? Like Cragmite-Blasters?" Stella asked out loud, as Mother Brain faded into non-existance, and the same message came onto the monitor.

"Enough daydreaming, guys! We gotta escape!" Ada yelled out loud, as Heidi SPED past the DJ. "Whoa, what's gotten into her?"

"Place shaking!" Heidi said in a panic, as she began to jump on the platforms. "Rocks falling... Everyone will die..."

"Heidi, wait up!" Grace yelled towards Heidi, to no avail. "Come on, guys. Heidi knows the way outta this place."

The team continued to jump out of the long pit, and while some of them slipped up, they managed to reach the elevator going up.

"Finally, we're nearly outta this place." Steph commented, as the elevator stopped... In the Alien's Lair. "What the hell?! How did we end up back HERE of all places?!"

"No time, Steph! We gotta run and escape!" Kade replied back. "There's no enemies in here, as far as I know. And Heidi's WAY ahead of us by this point."


The team continued to make a break for it, as they got outta the Alien's Lair with ease, and spotted what appeared to be a helicopter outside the hangar. Heidi was already inside, and shivering in COMPLETE fear.

"Well, Heidi has a way of finding aircraft, despite her shaking in fear. Now..." Korpse replied. "Who wants to fly this thing?"

Kade smiled. "I can do so. I owe a lot to these things. And now, I get to save your butts."

Kade jumped into the driver's seat, as everyone else piled in. As soon as Kade started it up, a solitary Metroid latched itself onto the side of the helicopter, perhaps the same one from earlier.

Twiggy hung onto a railing, as she looked at the Metroid, and grinned.

"I'm afraid you're in a... NO FRY ZONE." Twiggy commented out loud, as she shot at the Metroid, freezing it and making it fall off, with its body shattering on the ground.

Kade did some pretty tricky manuvers, as she flew the helicopter away from the now exploding island. They looked back, as the island EXPLODED with a large fireball erupting from it. The island was no more.

"We did it... WHOOO!" Korpse cheered out loud.

"I say..." Drake said, smiling. "We did a good job."


The pods opened up, and the teams stepped out.

"Okay, that was exciting." Twiggy commented out loud.

"Yeah, it was a medley of NES games in there." Cherri replied back. "It was awesome-cool!"

"Indeed it was." Chris said out loud. "You all put up a good fight, but in the end, the winners of this challenge are..."

"The Populars!" Chris shouted out loud, which caused the Populars to cheer in response. The Geeks only sighed in defeat. "And for your prize of winning, you receive these 8-Bit plush versions of yourselves!"

Stella looked at her doll and smiled. "Awww, it's even wearing plush toy earrings!"

"As for the Geeks, I got nothing. Except a one way trip to the Campfire. Make some decisions, and see me later." Chris commented as the teams dispersed.


Confessional: That's gotta suck bad for the Geeks...

Yentoulis: So, we lost. No biggie. Time to put Operation Get Pothead Out into commission.

Steph: Pfft, what do I need this silly toy for, anyway? -Tosses it behind her back-

Olivia: -Is holding the Steph plush, and a voo-doo magic book in another- Ooh, me likey!


Powerhungry Polar Bears

Heidi was still whimpering about the challenge's finale. Grace was sitting beside her for moral support.

"Heidi, we won, got some kick-ass dolls, and you're still sad?" Grace asked with concern. "Guess that rumbling caused more damage than I thought."

"What is there to talk about?" Heidi asked. "Sure, it was VR, but what if it wasn't? We be all in the giant football stadium in the sky..."

Grace smiled. "Come on, don't be like that... How about I whip you up a nice fruit smoothie?"

"...We got a smoothie machine?" Heidi asked back.

"Well, Twiggy does." Grace replied. "I asked her, and she gave me full permission to use her machine for smoothies and all of that jazz."

"Yeah... a smoothie will be nice, after that last bit we went through..." Heidi said, looking down.

Grace smiled back. "Aww... Once you have a taste of my fruit smoothie, I'm sure you'll be smiling."


Verna was sitting on a rock overlooking the beach, rubbing what appeared to be a plushie of a bonsai tree, while Drake was far-off, sketching.

"Why did I sign up for this show?" Verna asked herself. "Right... The girls at home convinced me to... Why are they so mean for no reason at all, I'll never find out... I even had to feign a sickness so I could skip Twilight's opening release..."

She looked at the plushie, and smiled slightly.

"Latif, I really hope you're doing okay without me..." Verna said, as she was in thought...


It was before the show, as Verna was packing up some things in her room. A kid no older than 10, knocked on the door.

"It's open!" Verna said out loud, as the kid stepped in. He appeared to have black hair, wearing a blue striped shirt with a dolphin on it, and dark blue shorts. "Hi, Latif! You wishing me luck? Cause I'm gonna need it."

"Total Drama can get messy..." Latif replied out loud. "But I have something for you."

He then gave Verna what appeared to be the plush bonsai tree.

"Latif..." Verna comfortably said, trying to hold back tears. "Eucalyptus is your favorite plushie... Not to mention your comfort toy... You sure you want me to have it on the island?"

"Its to remind you to never give up... Despite what stands in your way." Latif replied back. "Also, I made this for your 3DS."

Latif then gave over the Twilight 3DS cover he made. Verna smiled as a result.

"And you hid it just as well... Latif... You're the best bro a sis could ever have!" Verna said, as she hugged Latif tight."

"Thanks, sis..." Latif replied right back. "Now, can you let go? I... can't breathe..."

"Oops, sorry." Verna said, as she let go.


(Author's WARNING: Steph is about Verna to say some insensitive stuff. Please note I do not mean ANY of it. If you wanna skip it, go ahead.)

"So, Verna..." Steph sneered down at Verna. "What you got there? Another stupid Pokemon? A Treeachu?"

"Um, no?" Verna replied back sarcastically. "It's only my brother's comfort toy..."

"Comfort toy? Oh, he's such a crybaby, he needs a stupid toy for comfort? HAHAHAHA!" Steph laughed back.

"No, he has this thing to cope with his Autism!" Verna said right back, as she realized what she suddenly said. "Oops..."

"Ooh, this is FUN! You're making it too easy, Pokemaniac!" Steph replied with a grin. "Now, I want you to say these words out to the world. And be proud while you do it!"

She then got close to Verna's ears and whispered some words. Verna was shocked.

"What?! NO! I may not be the nicest girl around, but that's WAY beyond messed up!" Verna shouted out loud. "Even more-so than Purple Eye's plan in Guardian Signs!"

Little did the two know, Drake was now listening in, though he keep to his sketchbook to keep the two girls from noticing.

"So, you refuse? Well, I know a secret that's gonna be released tonight... Pokemaniac." Steph replied, as she begin to walk away, as...

"All Autistics are all retarded, useless things that are below humanity." Verna mumbled, with a sigh.

"What was that? I'm a tiny bit deaf in my left year, repeat that in a louder tone?" Steph asked crudely.

"All Autistics are all retarded, useless things that are below humanity!" Verna shouted out loud.

"Now once more with feeling..." Steph replied back, giving Verna a cold stare.

"ALL AUTISTICS ARE ALL RETARDED, USELESS THINGS THAT ARE BELOW HUMANITY!" Verna shouted out loud, which caused Drake to shiver a little.

"Good... Remember those words. Now, I shall be on my way. Ciao!" Steph replied back cooly, as she walked past Drake. She stopped to turn around and gave Drake a wink before continuing to walk her merry way.

Drake got up and started to inhale, to chew Steph out, but he just let out a sigh.


Confessional: Um... Wow.

Steph: That retarded kid is related to Pokemaniac? HAHAHAHAHA! This game is such a joke! Just give me the Million Dollars right now!

Verna: -Tears are streaming down her face- Everyone with Autism? Latif? I am... DEEPLY sorry about calling you all of that... Why did I have to say that stuff? -She breaks down in tears-

Drake: -He looks at the camera and just sighs as he walks off-


A short time later, Drake was in the cabin, looking deeply disturbed at what he heard.

"Why didn't I scold her?" Drake said to himself. "I took on soldiers, alien shrimp, and out-worldly jellyfish today, and yet... I couldn't stop Steph? Maybe... I am weak."

Stella knocked on the door, as she entered.

"Drake, you feeling okay?" Stella asked in concern. "Would a song cheer you up?"

"I dunno..." Drake replied out loud. "Stella? Am I weak?"

Stella was confused. "What makes you say that?"

"I... heard someone insulting insulting a condition someone had, and I wanted to chew that person out... But..." Drake sighed. "I didn't have the bravery to..."

Stella's eyes turned into a bit of anger. "Okay, Drake? Who insulted a condition?"

Drake did some thinking, and sighed. "I... can't remember..."

Stella smiled as she shook off her anger. "I'm sure you'll remember someday. Now, then... I had a story to tell, but we were in the challenge, and I didn't want to make you feel bad. It's time for me to tell you about how... I got adopted."

Drake nodded, as Stella sat next to Drake.

"My parents told me this, but it happened back when I was a newborn..." Stella said out loud.


16 Years Ago...

A pair of parents were holding their new bundle of joy in their arms. They both had blonde hair, and they were looking at their newborn baby. However, the mom wasn't looking too hot.

"It's our baby... Our bundle of love..." The mom said out loud. "Hi, there... I'm your momma..."

"And I'm your daddy... Hi, there." The dad replied back. "I really, really hope you grow up happy and healthy..."

"I asked the doctor... Took our kid in for a... checkup, like we... requested..." The mom said out loud, as the doctor came back in.

"So, how are our lovely new parents doing?" The doctor asked out loud. "Okay, Mr. and Mrs. Greene? I have some good news, and some bad news."

The two parents were shocked to hear that.

"Oh, no... Our little baby..." Mrs. Greene said in a faint whisper, as she looked at the baby in her arms.

"Don't worry, it doesn't have anything to do with your baby. We over-checked everything, thrice to be sure... And she has recessive genes." The doctor replied out loud. "Your baby will grow up without any defects. But, Mrs. Greene..."

The doctor took a forelone look at Mrs. Greene.

"You... had a low plasma count when you went into labor... I'm sad to say this, but even though your daughter will live on, your time on Earth is gonna be cut short." The doctor said out loud. "I am so very sorry."

Both parents looked at each other, as they looked at their little baby.

"We still gotta name this little girl..." Mr. Greene said back to his wife.

"I... already decided." Mrs. Greene replied, as she looked out at the starry sky outside her window, and Mr. Greene followed suit.

"Really, hon? I understand." Mr. Greene nodded. "Doctor?"

"We... decided to name our daughter Stella." Mrs. Greene said out loud as she sighed happily closed her eyes. "Stella... Keep on shining bright... Our wonderful shining star, Stella..."

"Dear?" Mr. Greene replied in a panic. "Dear?!"


Present Day

"...Sadly, my mom died that night. While my dad tried to take good care of me by himself, he also had a weak body. And one day... He took me to the orphanage, and... That was the last I saw of him. It's not sure if he died from grief, his weak body, or what." Stella said, finishing her story.

Drake was stunned, as a tear left his eye. "Wow... I didn't know... I'm SO very sorry about your parent's loss."

Stella smiled back. "Hey, it's why I waited until after the challenge to explain. And it isn't all bad. I got adopted three months later."

She then showed off a photo to Drake, showing a baby Stella with the family that adopted her. They had brunette hair, and similar markings under their eyes similar to Stella's.

Drake smiled. "Hey, family is who cares for you... No matter who you are..."

Stella said nothing, but smiled and put her hand on Drake's hand. They quickly pulled back as the two blushed at each other.


Giggling Gryphons

Ellis sighed as he sat down, with Marissa, Benny, and Cherri nearby. He was worried about his future fate.

"I can guess you guys are voting for me..." Ellis muttered.

"Why you say that?" Cherri asked, as she looked at a caterpillar on the ground. "You never did anything wrong."

"Yeah, if anyone would get voted off, it be me." Benny replied back. "I was outta my element, today."

"Nah, whatever happens, I would still want you on the team." Marissa commented, as someone was walking up to the group. He squished the caterpillar underneath his foot, killing it.

Cherri was taken back in shock, as her eyes glared at who killed the bug.

"What do you want, Yentoulis?" Cherri asked, looking very annoyed.

"I have a suggestion on who to vote for." Yentoulis replied back. "And I suggest... Xantara."

"What, her?! She is as good at challenges as anyone!" Ellis replied back in shock. "Why her?"

"She's a HUGE creep!" Yentoulis said out loud. "That, and she and Nelson are playing some snake game, which I don't care about!"

"So? She and Nelson are pretending to be snakes!" Cherri replied right back. "It's not like they're gonna swallow raw eggs whole, or eat caviar while acting as snakes!"

"Besides, I don't think Nelson's crush is the caviar type, to start." Ellis said right back.

"Okay, look..." Marissa commented, trying to keep things peaceful. "We'll keep things in consideration, and we'll see how the dice block rolls."

"Good..." Yentoulis replied back, as he walked away from the scene. Once he was gone, the group look amongst themselves.

"Wait, what snake game?" Cherri asked.

"Something that could very well break my mother's back if she tried to do that stuff..." Benny answered back.


On some mats, Xantara and Nelson was indeed playing a snake game...

They were in the Cobra Yoga Pose.

"Ohmmmm, who has your vote, Nelson?" Xantara hummed.

"Is it obvious, ohmmm? It's Yentoulis." Nelson hummed back.

"I gotta agree with you." Xantara replied, as she stood up and started to lean forward. "Yentoulis... Well, he isn't all that there."

Nelson followed Xantara's example and leaned forward as well.

"Yeah, I mean, what kinda name is Yentoulis anyway?" Nelson asked. "No offense to the guy and all, but people are gonna give people nicknames."

"Like how people call me Zentara?" Xantara asked.

"Well, it fits for your nature." Nelson smiled back.

"Yeah, it does." Xantara replied back, as a smirk grew on her. "So, any luck with Korpse, today?"

Nelson sighed playfully with a blush. "Aw, shut up and let's do the Half-Moon."


Yentoulis was walking around, hoping to find someone to convince someone to vote against him, as he saw something that turned his mood into a fit of anger...

"MOZART!" Yentoulis yelled out loud. "What the HELL are you doing speaking with my robot?"

Mozart (With Woodstock perched on his shoulder) came running towards Yentoulis, with GENKI by his side.

"Excuse me, dude?" Mozart asked. "GENKI came to me to fix up her joints."

Yentoulis glared at GENKI. "Is that correct, GENKI?"

"Yes it was, Master Yentoulis." GENKI replied back.

"Well... I never thought you were a disobedient failure... But now, I know." Yentoulis said, as he grabbed Mozart's bo from Mozart. "That's why... I shall dispose of what I call a failure!"

Yentoulis raised the bo and looked down at GENKI, as...

...Mozart blocked the blow, with his back. Thankfully, Woodstock was unharmed, but shocked at what Yentoulis has done with his owner.

"Dude, if you're gonna destroy your OWN creation, one you spent a lotta time on... You gotta get past ME, first." Mozart muttered back, seemingly unfased by the blow to his back.

"Mozart!" GENKI said out loud in worry, as Yentoulis pointed the bo at GENKI.

"So, you like the pothead inventor, huh?" Yentoulis said out loud. "But... You do know who the TRUE master is?"

"Yentoulis... I think we should have the robotic dudette decide on who her master is..." Mozart replied back.

"Pfft, that's no contest, because it's gonna be me." Yentoulis said out loud, as he turned towards GENKI. "GENKI, who do you choose?"

GENKI looked at Yentoulis and did some thinking. She also looked at Mozart, who was the first person to not treat her like dirt.

"I choose..." GENKI started to say, but.

"Come on, out with it!" Yentoulis snapped out loud.

"I choose..."

...

...

...

...

...

...

"...Mozart." GENKI finished, as she saw Yentoulis' eyes turn red with anger. Now in fear, she ran off, as...

"Geeks! It's time to vote someone out." Chris said out loud through the intercom.

Yentoulis slammed the bo on the ground. "We'll REALLY decide this later... If you're still around."

Mozart picked up his bo, and glared at Yentoulis. Woodstock also glared at Yentoulis, with anger in his eyes.


Confessional: Yep, that's Yento for you.

GENKI: Mozart... Why Mozart? I know he's a lot better, but I said his name out of fear...

Yentoulis: The team will see that I am needed for future challenges... Right after I take down a pothead...


At the Elimination Place, the Geeks were waiting for Chris to come. Mozart was rubbing on his back, as Nelson was concerned.

"You okay, Mozart?" Nelson asked. "You seem to be rubbing your back an awful lot."

"I'll be fine, little dude..." Mozart replied. "I just took a bit of a spill earlier. I'll be fine."

"Um, hon?" Xantara asked. "What kinda spill puts rips in your shirt?"

"Let's answer that later; Chris is coming." Benny said, as Chris approached his podium.

"Geeks... Welcome back to the Elimination Ceremony... Again. As always, I have some questions. First off, Yentoulis. Do you feel safe tonight?"

Yentoulis smirked confidently. "Why or course I feel confident I am staying tonight. That, and Mozart kept on stealing my property."

"That. Never. Happened." Mozart replied back. "Besides, GENKI came to me."

"Okay. Second. How well do you think you worked together as a team?" Chris asked.

"Well, we're back here at elimination. Does that answer your question?" Olivia snarked back.

"And finally... Mozart. You seem to have taken a bad spill, what with you rubbing your back. Care to explain what happened?" Chris asked.

"Well, like I said to Nelson, I took a pretty wicked spill beforehand." Mozart replied out loud.

Cherri took a look at Mozart's back, as she secretly pulled at Mozart's shirt a bit. "Wicked spill, my ass. That wasn't a fall, Mozart! Take off your shirt."

Olivia beamed at that, as Sting put a hand on her shoulder.

"Olivia, though you wanna see someone like Mozart shirtless, we're in serious city here." Sting lectured.

Yentoulis was alarmed by that. He had to think up an alibi, and fast.

"If Mozart said he took a bad spill, he took a bad spill. It's as simple as that. The pothead needs to learn how to wear adequate footwear." Yentoulis commented out loud.

"But this is serious, and needs to be looked at." Cherri replied back. "Now, Mozart?"

Mozart nodded, as he took off his shirt, and the campers were surprised...

There was a fresh scar mark on his back, where the bo struck him.

Even Olivia was shocked. "Whoa, Mozart? Sting was right; this is serious city! How... The hell?"

"Damn... How that happen?" A wide-eyed Moana asked.

"It was a training accident." Yentoulis interrupted. "Right, Mozart?"

"Well..." Mozart said, as he started to do some thinking. What if he got voted off? What would happen to GENKI? Finally...

"...It wasn't a training accident." Mozart replied back. "Someone was about to destroy GENKI, and I know who this someone was! It was one bogus dude sitting here with us! And everyone around but him has an alabi! Benny and Ellis were together, along with Benny and Cherri, so they couldn't have done it, Sting was swimming with Moana, Olivia was god knows where, Nelson was doing yoga with Xantara, and Ron was taking a nap... So that leaves only ONE person. It's one person who can't stand to be called by anything other than their given name... It was YOU, Yentoulis! You struck me on the back when I tried to defend GENKI!"

"What you blaming me for? YOU got in my way!" Yentoulis yelled back at him.

"Wow, drama much? That's why its called Total Drama. In either case, it's time to cast your votes." Chris commented.


Confessional: This may be a one-sided vote...

Mozart: Is there ANY rhyme or reason as to who my vote goes to?

Cherri: I'm voting for Yentoulis! Not because he hurt a friend, but... What if he did that to an actual woman?!

Xantara: That scar looks rather painful... I gotta give my vote to Yentoulis, because you have a LOT of growing up to do!

Benny: Sorry, but I gotta vote for Mozart. Not because I'm the bad guy, but the Playa can heal you up. Seriously, that scar looked painful.

Yentoulis: Who shall I vote for? Shall I ask? NAY!


Once the last one who voted (Nelson) came back, Chris came with the cart of potato chip bags.

"Campers, you know the deal. If I call out your name, come up and get your potato chip bag." Chris said out loud. "Xantara, you're safe. So is Nelson."

"Sting..."

"Benny..."

"Ellis..."

"Olivia..."

"Moana..."

"Cherri..."

"Marissa..."

"Ron..."

Both Mozart and Yentoulis were left without a potato chip bag. Yentoulis was grinning confidently, all while Mozart looked at his team.

"Mozart, Yentoulis. This is the final potato chip bag of the evening. And tonight, it goes to..."

"...Mozart."

Mozart breathed a sigh of relief as he got up and got his potato chip bag. Yentoulis, however, looked shocked.

"But, why?!" An angry Yentoulis yelled out. "I demand an explanation!"

"Because... After that action you did to Mozart... Though he was protecting GENKI... We thought it would be better this way." Cherri replied back.

"You're just a walking lightning rod!" Yentoulis yelled back.

"And lightning just struck! Now it's time to get hurled!" Chris commented out loud.


Yentoulis was strapped in the Slingshot of Shame, with the Geeks watching.

"You lot won't survive long without MY smarts..." Yentoulis said out loud.

"What, your belly dancing smarts?" Benny commented back, shivering. "That still gives me chills."

"Eh, I always like a challenge." Ellis replied back with a shrug. "Nuzlockes, Buster Only... No Items, Fox Only, Final Destination?"

"Still, maybe some hands-on surviving will teach you a bit of a lesson or ten, Yento?" Moana smirked at the now eliminated Geek.

Yentoulis glared at Moana. "The name is NOT Yento. It's..."

"Okay, we heard enough." Chris said, as the Slingshot went off.

"YEEEEENNNNNtttttooooo..."

"Wow, the dude didn't even have the chance to say his full name this time..." Cherri commented out loud, as GENKI came running up to the team.

"Master Yentoulis, I've..." GENKI said out loud as...

"Too late, kiddo." Ron replied out loud. "Yento's flying towards the Playa as we speak."

GENKI was a bit shocked. "I... had some stuff to say to him too."

Mozart put a comforting hand on GENKI's shoulder. "Trust me, dudette, maybe it's better this way."

"As for the rest of you, the Ceremony is not over yet!" Chris exclaimed.

"What now?!" Olivia complained. "Have we been through enough?"

"Yeah, none of us broke any rules!" Sting said right back.

"It's that we just want to know what your favorite food is." Chris replied back towards the team. "Just blab it out in the Confessional. That's it."

The team looked at each other.

"Wait, all this for food?" Ron asked. "Seems like a set-up. But might as well humor him."


Confessional: Can I Take Your Order?

Ron: Okay, though I think this'll come back to bite me in the ass... I kinda like a nice, juicy, baked potato with the toppings. Well, it's not what you would consider juicy. That, and I'm kinda a vegetarian.

Marissa: Me and the Party like to chow down after a good LARPing session. I usually choose some really nice schnitzel, to be honest.

Cherri: After observing bugs all day, I like to have some fried chicken and fries, myself. The kind that moms and grandmas cook up as well.

Sting: My fave food? It's more of a dessert, but I really enjoy black forest gateau! I know, it's actually dessert grub, but I just can't resist! And my mom's black forest gateau brings a smile to my friends' faces, if only for a few minutes.

Olivia: Hey, nobody can go wrong with blood pudding! And I know you're giving me looks by now. Google it, it totes exists.

Moana: I'm a fan of fried flounder and fries. Kinda stereotypical of me to say being a sea gal, but what are ya gonna do?

Ellis: Um... I like... calamari, myself! Yeah, that!

Nelson: Broccoli and cheese for me! Hey, I've always like brocoli when I was young.

Benny: I an avid fan of some steak and fries myself. And it offers my favorite steak blade a challenge if it's thick and meaty.

Xantara: A nice peanut butter sandwich will do for me, aside some sour cream and onion potato chips. Especially if its the crunchy kind.

Mozart: Mushroom pizza totally works for me! And after today, I wish I had some... Ow.


After Mozart came back, Chris smiled. "Well, now that we got your food, NOW I can say... The rest of you are safe... For now."

The Geeks walked off, discussing on what just occurred.

"Now, it's time for the Populars to come expose their favorite foods. I sent a message to them before Yento got hurled, asking them to come." Chris commented, as a few moments passed, as the Populars came in. Verna was still looking down, still saddened by what she said.

"Chris, what are we doing here?" Stella asked. "We didn't break any rules, did we?"

"No, nobody broke any rules." Chris commented out loud. "We just wanna know... What your favorite foods are."

"Wait..." Heidi interrupted Chris. "You mean to tell us, that you drug us to the campfire, just to have us blab what our favorite foods are?"

"Yeah... That's about the gist of it." Chris replied back, innocently grinning.

Heidi nodded. "Good call."


Confessional: ORDER UP!

Heidi: What's my main meal for football games and tailgate parties? Grilled hot dogs, for sure! With mayo. That's right, I said mayo.

Drake: I'm... a fan of cheeseburgers and fries, myself.

Stella: Even though it is kinda odd for me to say, coming from my nature... I quite enjoy some pork cutlets.

Ada: While they say 'Never Smile at a Crocodile'... -She winks- They didn't say squat about smiling at alligator fritters! Those things are off the charts!

Twiggy: I may be a cheerleader, but even I can't resist bacon! That meaty strip has an unique charm! And it epically goes with damn near any meal! All I can say is... GOOOOOOOO, BACON!

Thunder: Fried eggs for me... I even learned how to make them like how my mom did... Sunny Side Up.

Steph: Salad for me. With dressing. And no one will say so otherwise.

Verna: After today... Maybe some popcorn shrimp will make me feel better? I still feel like I commited a Double Negative Tone to the world...

Grace: Pfft, is it ANY contest what my favorite food is? Fruit salad! Duh!

Korpse: I'm a fan of red velvet cake, myself. It's the TRUE food of gaming, not Mountain Dew and Doritoes, no matter how awesome they all are. Though I recommend eating cake when playing RPGs.

Kade: Me and chocolate chip cookies get along well like... Well, cereal and milk! What else can I say?

Nicholas: I'm a fan of buttered popcorn. I usually ate some during movies, and political debates.


Once Nicholas came back, Chris grinned.

"Well, that's all of them. You're free to go now." Chris replied, as he walked off.

Ada shrugged. "Well... That was kinda... outta character for Chris."

"Yeah, what was that for?" Steph asked out loud.


Giggling Gryphons

Outside their cabin, Mozart had his shirt off, and was wincing in pain, while Cherri applied some medicine on the wound.

"Oww... Who knew bo sticks were super durable and hard?" Mozart asked out loud. "Ow... How do you know how to do this stuff, Cherri? And without wincing in pain?"

"Experience, really." Cherri replied back with a smile. "I seen mom doing it to herself and dad, and I been through this several times before in my tattooing sessions. And I got so used to the feel that it's kinda second nature to me at this point."

"Well, remind me to never get a bodacious tattoo, then." Mozart commented, chuckling. "I swear, you're the bravest babe I know! Benny's lucky to have such a good friend like you."

Cherri chuckled lightly with a blush as GENKI came up to the two.

"Mozart?" GENKI asked. "I've wanted to say this to you, but you were too busy. But I rather say it now... Thank you."

Mozart smiled. "Hey, Yenty was about to trash you. My heart was telling me to protect you."

"It's why I decided. Starting today, you are my new Master, Master Mozart." GENKI said back.

Mozart gently smiled. "Please, just call me Mozart. None of this Master crap; I don't want an official title totes handed down to me."

"It shall be my duty, Mozart." GENKI replied back. "So, what shall be my task?"

"Just... Sit with us and talk?" Mozart commented back. "Get to know the gang a bit?"

GENKI smiled. "Yeah, that sounds like a good option."


With Xantara, Sting, and Moana, they were doing yoga... Or at least, Xantara and Moana were. Sting, however, was struggling.

"Okay, how can I breathe slowly while holding this pose?" Sting asked out loud, in a rather shaky pose. "Seriously, I feel the Wii Fit Trainer's gonna come and stuff a warrior up our butts."

"Nah, the chances of that happening is about a million to one." Moana replied, with her pose nearly perfect. "Unless there were Wii Fit Trainer cosplayers out there."

"Okay, I don't understand almost everything you guys just said..." Xantara commented, with her pose in perfect form. "I mean, Nelson has to gently explain everything he says to me half the time."

"But it's what we like about him. He may have a geeky attitude, but he's all heart." Moana replied back.

"Hear, hear!" Sting shouted with glee.


In her cave, Olivia laid a zip-lock baggie down... Inside the bag, appeared to be black hair.

"A-HA!" Olivia laughed. "And Sting didn't even notice!"


In a part of the woods, Ellis and Marissa were running.

"Quick, Marissa! Run!" Ellis shouted out loud.

"I'm running as fast as I can!" Marissa replied back.

"It's getting close to us..." Ellis said, as he thought up an idea. "I can take him."

"What?!" Marissa shouted in panic. "But, he's twice your size! How can you-"

"Never underestimate someone with a powerful sword." Ellis replied back with a smile as he ran back towards where they were running from. "We're eating dragon tonight!"

Ellis did some swinging of a stick, as the two giggled at their pretend game of medieval adventure, as...

"Aww, to be young again." Benny said out loud with a smile. Ron was next to Benny, also chuckling a little.

"Oh, hey Benny!" Ellis replied back. "I just destroyed the evil dragon terrorizing the island."

"Evil dragon, you say?" Ron smirked back.

"And plus... That's no way to handle a sword." Benny replied, as he unsheathed his own blade, and eyed a tree branch. "THIS is how you handle a swordfight! HI-YA!"

Benny jumped up, and sliced off the tree branch, causing it to fall. A family of squirrels peeked from the leaves, looking seemingly pissed off.

"Okay, how was I suppose to know that tree branch housed a family of squirrels?" Benny asked himself.

"Or how they can hide in tree branches." Ellis also commented. "Run, guys!"

The four went running back towards camps, with the squirrels still watching the teens.


Confessional: Swordplay, thy name is Benny

Benny: Okay... Next time, when showing off my skill... Ask permission first.

Ellis: Me and Marissa get along really well! She's... -Blushes- The most cutest girl I know. And by cute, I mean BEAUTIFUL.

Marissa: Ellis is a bundle of fun! He reminds me of Mirian... -She Blushes- He has a cuteness stat of 99.

Mozart: Well, with Yento gone, we can start to play the game for reals now.

Xantara: I didn't tell Moana and Sting, but because Nelson doesn't have much of an opportunity to talk to Korpse, I managed a bit of something tonight...


Powerhungry Polar Bears

Drake was doing some drawing, as Thunder came in.

"Hey, Drake." Thunder said out loud.

"Hey, Thunder." Drake replied, looking up from his sketchbook.

"So... What you doing?" Thunder asked, as Drake put away his sketchbook.

"Eh, nothing much." Drake shrugged.

"I see..." Thunder replied back, as he looked around the room, and smiled. "Huh... Didn't peg you for being a fan of The Little Life of Roxxie." [1]

Drake smiled. "Yep, I am. It may be modern, but their ideals are similar to mine. That, and the protagonist looks kinda cute."

"Yeah... I'm... Kinda a fan, too." Thunder said right back. "But I often keep stuff like that to myself. Like how I like cooking eggs. Or how I work part-time in a florist. Or why I chose Pinkie Pie as best pony."

Drake smiled back. "Well, it's okay to let those things loose every once in a while... And Fluttershy is best pony."

"Yeah... Tell that to my dad..." Thunder said to himself.


The Party Trio was having a bit of a party, as Stella was leaning against a tree, smiling.

"I really hope Drake'll be okay... He looked a bit freaked out earlier." Stella said to herself, as she looked at her hand. She then blushed. "Still, he's one of the sweetest guys I know."

She was in deep thoughts, as someone interrupted her...

"RAH-RAH-BLOOM!"

Stella chuckled. "Hi, Twiggy! Enjoying the party?"

"Hey, we got a bit of a winning streak going on!" Twiggy replied back, grinning. "If we keep going like this, we may even reach the finals!"

She then winked back at Stella.

"But don't think I'll go easy on you just cause we're friends!" Stella smirked back.

Stella smiled. "I wouldn't have it any other way."


Far away from the party, Steph was leaning back by a tree, sipping a bit of water.

"Heh heh heh... I just had Verna say insulting things about autistics... Boy, it feels GOOD to be in power... All this sweet shit?" Steph said, as she scoffed, as she finished her water, tossed the cup on the ground, and stepped on it with force. "I hate sweet. Mean and nasty's where its at."

She then overlooked the party, as a devilish grin grew on her face.

"Enjoy your party while you can... Because Steph George is playing for keeps now." Steph commented to herself. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"


Verna was sitting under her tree, silently crying to herself.

"I feel lower than a Level 1 Taillow... Why did I say those words?" Verna sobbed to herself. "Is... being popular all worth it? Is being popular these days being mean and catty? At least Latif understands that I don't mean it when I say for him to go away..."

All of a sudden, she heard some footsteps approaching. She was suddenly alarmed, as she looked around for a place to hide her brother's comfort toy.

"Aww, s***! Steph's coming!" Verna muttered to herself. She then looked down and sighed. "Bro? I promise to get you a new bonsai tree when I get home."

She then stuffed the toy between her boobs as the owner of the footsteps came into view...

"Okay, do your worst." Verna said out loud.

"Your worst? I... don't quite understand." A voice replied back.

"Yeah, is that a bonsai between your boobs? Or are you happy to hear us?" Another voice asked.

"...Korpse?" Verna asked, as Korpse stepped into view, with Nelson following shortly afterward.

"Yeah, me and Nelson were talking about various stuff, when we heard you crying." Korpse replied back. "What's wrong?"

"Well... I... said some words I knew were wrong, so I would stay on the good side of someone." Verna commented. "I should have refused... I apologized in the Confessional instantly afterwards."

"Wow... What were the words you said, if you don't mind saying?" Nelson asked, concerned.

"Get closer, guys..." Verna whispered, as both Korpse and Nelson did just that. After a few seconds passed, they were shocked.

"Wow... And I know you don't mean it..." Korpse said out loud.

"Yeah... I also have some things to get off my chest... I don't actually like make-up, my ears aren't really pierced, and I'm really... a Pokemon fan." Verna replied back.

Nelson was taken back a little. "Well, that explains the Maractus plushie."

"Yeah... You guys? I would be forced to bully and berate you... I really wanna make friends with you guys, too..." Verna replied, as she sighed. All of a sudden, a gentle hand was applied on her shoulder.

"Verna?" Korpse said out loud. "We're already friends. You proven that you're really a huge sweetie underneath that popular armor."

Verna sighed. "You don't mean that..."

Nelson smiled. "Or course we do! Why did we stop just to check up on you?"

Verna looked back at the goth gamer and the cute fanatic, and smiled slightly. "Thanks, guys... But I have one thing to ask."

Korpse nodded. "Go on..."

"...Are you and shorty an item? You guys usually look at each other with smiles on your faces." Verna commented, which caused Korpse and Nelson to blush deeply.

"Aww, Verna." Korpse replied back with an embarrassed tone.


Chris is on the beach, ready to deliver the Outro.

"So, Yentoulis... Er, YENTO is eliminated, and that leaves the Geeks down by one! But, can they bounce back? Will Verna actually be hated by her peers? What caused Heidi to freak out? Will Twiggy deliver another bacon related cheer? Will GENKI be fine with Mozart? And who will be the next one eliminated? Find out next time, on..."

"Total Drama: GEEKS!"

"VS!"

"POPULARS!"


Isle of Rebirth

Lance was on the island eating an apple, and Yolei was doing some fighting poses, as...

…..iiiiiiiiIIISSSSSSSS!" Yentoulis screamed out, as he hit the cushion. He then picked himself up, as he looked round. "Okay, where am I?"

"Nothing special, just the Isle of Rebirth." Lance said, turning away. "Great, another Geek got eliminated, and it had to be Lazybones..."

"Okay, first off, the name is NOT Lazybones, its Yentoulis!" Yentoulis screamed out loud.

"Sure, and I'm Mary, Queen of Scots." Yolei snarked back.

Yentoulis growled. "I shall be back... You can BET on it..."

[1]: Thunder's referring to a project me and a friend's doing, and Roxxie's one of the characters. She IS short, as well.

BaconBaka OUT!
