Korpse's Earrings: Oran Berries from Pokemon
This episode, we begin the Fear Challenge!
Be very afraid...
Chris is on the beach, ready to give out the intro.
"Last time, on Geeks Vs. Populars... Our teens had to go through a medley of various retro games. It all started in Donkey Kong, to where the big ape suddenly turned monstrous... It then turned towards Contra... Look, It's been a long day, and I haven't had a latte! But in either case, the Populars managed to kick butt, enough to send the Geeks to the Campfire. And before the ceremony, Yento was all set to demolish GENKI... But Mozart managed to block a blow. And due to that feat, Yento was sent hurling! It feels SO great to say his shortened name! Anyways..."
"What will happen today? Will Steph piss off more people? Will Verna man up and stare Steph down? Will the Geeks fare good despite being one short Yento? Find out today, on..."
"Total!"
"Drama!"
"GEEKS VS POPULARS!"
(Cue I Wanna Be Famous)
Giggling Gryphons
Verna and Korpse were sitting under a tree, commenting on stuff, with Nelson already having left so his team wouldn't worry. Verna had the bonsai tree plush in her hand, as Korpse was smiling.
"So, you got a younger brother, too?" Korpse asked, as Verna nodded. "Cool..."
"Yeah, he's one person, which while I did make fun of him and yelled at him... It was because the clique was with me at the time." Verna explained. "I had to do so... After they leave the house, I instantly apologize to my younger bro for yelling at him."
"Guess you really adore your brother, huh?" Korpse commented. "Same with my little brother, in fact. Though he's not really a gamer, but more of an artist."
"Really? What kind?" Verna asked.
"He does all kinds of various artwork." Korpse explained. "Some of it's fanart, though. And he also does commissions as well!"
Verna smiled at that. "Really, cool! As for my bro? He's into building stuff. He even made my 3DS carrying case, just so I could hide my more smaller geeky stuff."
She then took out a pic of what appeared to be her brother, and showed it to Korpse.
"Cool..." Korpse said out loud. "And here's my bro!"
Korpse gave Verna a picture of what appeared to be her little brother. His black hair had some green streaks in it, and it was in the style of a beret. He was also wearing a large headband, and had some sort of design on his shirt showing off the primary colors. He, too, was also wearing a pair of spiked bracelets, as thus a gaming accessory.
"Yep, you can tell that Haruto takes after me." Korpse explained. "Also, I guess he would have some VERY choice words to say to... Well, her, after tonight, being he's autistic, too."
"Yeah, my brother's gonna be upset, too..." Verna said out loud. "Also, I think I found a signal for Wi-Fi stuff. Maybe I can find something for you on the GTS?"
Korpse nodded, as Verna went on the GTS with her 3DS, and looked up various Pokemon which were shiny.
"Ooh, shiny Lickitung." Verna said with a grin. Her grin turned into an angry frown. "Awww... dammit, or COURSE someone wants a bloody Legendary Pokemon! Everyone wants to offer up their shinies for f*****' Legendaries!"
"Tell me about it, man." Korpse replied back. "It took me WEEKS to find a shiny Vanilluxe for my brother's birthday."
"You know what? Verna asked, before her mood turned sour. "They f*** you with the GTS! You know why? Because when you're trying to fill out the Pokedex by your lonesome, and you need a Mon, they always offer a Legendary in exchange! And even if you do find a good trade, it's most likely already traded! And let's not START with the 5th Gen GTS, where they offer up any Pokemon for Level 1 Infernapes and all that crap! How the holy Heaven, Hell, and Bob do you do that?! Not to mention they're always, ALWAYS asking for Level 1 Mewtwos, Level 1 Arceuses, Level 1 Venusaurs... Or course the 4th and 5th Gen games aren't compatible with going online anymore, but still... They f*** you, they f*** you, they f*** you with the GTS!"
Korpse looked at Verna with an impressed look on her face. "Um... Wow."
"Er... Did I go into a geeky rant, again?" Verna asked out loud.
Drake was in the cabin, doing a bit of drawing before bedtime, and was quite enjoying himself.
"Hmm... Should I give this gal a headset?" Drake mused to himself. "Then again, would she even use a headset for her series of games? Or use words like poopieheaded kill stealer?"
That mood was then interrupted, as Steph stepped into the cabin. Drake quickly his face behind his sketchbook.
"Hi, handsome..." Steph said towards Drake, who instantly blushed in embarrassment.
"Um..." Drake hummed out loud.
"Ah, the strong, silent type..." Steph replied back with a grin. "Still stunned at what I did?"
Drake sighed. He would have wanted to tell Steph off right there, but his nervousness got in the way.
"So... What's with the book?" Steph asked.
"Um... Just some drawings..." Drake replied back.
Steph was interested. "Ooh, what kinda drawings?"
"Just some... small ones here and there..." Drake answered back, as he gave his sketchbook to Steph as she began to browse it.
Steph's expression was stoic. "What is this bulls***? These are... cute! Where's the hot bods? The beach bums? The vampires biting into other vampires?"
She then handed the book back to Drake. "Those are good. You're a good artist."
"Thanks." Drake replied back.
"Well, I can guess you're busy at your drawing." Steph commented with a smile. "See you later, handsome!"
She started to walk away, but not before giving a wink to an uneasy Drake before walking out of the cabin.
Twiggy was currently saying a prayer to the big man upstairs.
"God, please keep on taking care after mom, and wish the latest eliminated Geek a full, happy life... Amen." Twiggy prayed out loud.
"Wow, you must really care for your mom." Thunder replied back, as Twiggy looked up at the sky.
"You think... She would be proud of me?" Twiggy asked out loud.
"What do you mean?" Thunder replied back.
"Well... Why does a bad entree dish like cancer has to exist?" Twiggy said out loud. "No one wants it, but my mom ended up with it anyway, and even though she fought hard, in the end... She succumbed to it."
Thunder was stunned. "Wow... Sorry to hear that, Twiggy..."
"The entire restaurant was stunned when it happened..." Twiggy replied back.
"May I ask what kinda cancer it was?" Thunder asked.
"...It was Breast Cancer." Twiggy answered back. "It's why while I do wanna win for culinary college, I still wanna donate half my winnings for Breast Cancer research."
"Wow... That's very noble of you to do that." Thunder said, with a gentle smile, as he sat next to Twiggy, as the two looked up at the stars.
Ada, Kade, and Nicholas were currently sitting back, just relaxing and playing some cards.
"So... Got any 5's?" Nicholas asked.
"Go fish!" Ada replied out loud, as what appeared to be Ada's speaker system started to spark.
"Whoa, whoa!" Nicholas yelled out loud, as both he and Ada quickly took care of the spark. "Wow... We really gotta think about replacing your Dj-ing stuff."
"Yeah, exactly... This momma's been going at it for several years, now." Ada commented, as she turned towards Kade. Her expression turned into one of worry. "Kade?"
"No... Not instant fires... No..." Kade muttered, looking VERY freaked out.
"Kade?" Nicholas asked. "Me and Ada put out the fire. You feeling any better?"
"Yeah, you never showed that fear of fires when we went to the campfire, both when we voted off Lance, and just an hour ago." Ada replied back. "Repressed memories?"
"Well... You heard of that wildfire back when we were... Well, 10 to 11?" Kade asked out loud.
"Yeah, I heard." Ada answered back. "I'm just thankful nobody got hurt."
"Well... Most everyone." Kade replied, as she removed one of her prosthetics to reveal what appeared to be burn scars.
"Wow... Just... What happened, Kade?" Nicholas asked out loud.
"Well, me and a class went on a camping field trip. It was gonna be an overnight for a field trip..."
A few years ago...
A curly-haired Kade walked off the activity bus, and looked around.
"Wow! Look at all the nature and stuff!" Kade said out loud with a smile on her face. "Yay for nature!"
"Yeah, Kade. We know." Kade's teacher nodded. "But we should stick together, at least until we make camp. There's a spot designated for us."
"But, what if we get lost?" A student asked out loud.
"Eh, it's very simple. Just follow the paths for the rest of your gaming life?" Another student joked out loud.
The previous student shook in fear, as the teacher glared at the joking student.
"Cammy, that's not very funny!" The teacher scolded out loud. "Now, class? Let's go."
The class walked in the forest, and after a while, they reached their destination...
"Now, class? You have some free time to do whatever you want. Please don't wonder away from the group, okay?" The teacher asked, as the class dispersed.
Kade walked over to a little lake stream, as she took off her shoes, her socks, and dipped her feet into the water. Wiggling her toes, she smiled.
"This is life... How can things get better?" Kade asked out loud.
"Maybe this?" A student replied, getting close to the future party animal. He was observing what appeared to be a mushroom on the ground. "It's known as a Puffball Mushroom. It sends out spores if impacted with a solid object."
At that moment, what appeared to be an acorn fell from a tree, and onto the Puffball Mushroom, sending spores into the student's face.
"ACK!" The student yelled out, as he backed away, as Kade chuckled.
"At least for the spores, they're non-poisonous, to my knowledge." Kade said to herself. "I wonder how he would react to a Latticed Stinkhorn..."
A few hours later, it was now close to nighttime, and the students were together. A rumble of thunder was heard, as Kade looked to the west. Some dark clouds were in the horizon, being lit up by some thunder.
"Hmm... Looks like rain." Kade said to herself, as the teacher called the students back.
"Class? We just got word that a severe thunderstorm is on the way. We should start to pack up all our things and head for the Ranger's Station." The teacher said out loud, as...
KRRRAAAAKKK!
A flash of lightning striked a rather tall tree. Now ablaze, the tree started to fall, onto the school bus. Thankfully, the driver leapt out of the bus in time, as it exploded into a ball of flame.
All of the students were in fear, except for one...
"NOOOOOOOO! MY COLLECTION OF MORCHELLAS!" The student observing the mushroom from earlier cried out loud.
"Screw the mushrooms, Tyrian!" Kade yelled out loud. "Look!"
Indeed, the flaming debris from the bus managed to start up a rather large forest fire.
"Okay, class. Just stick together, and we'll be okay." The teacher said out loud, as...
"Screw that! I'm saving the rest of my shrooms!" Tyrian replied, as he ran off, as Kade sighed.
"Teacher? I'm gonna gather him up. Be right back..." Kade said, as she followed the mushroom fanatic.
Tyrian was running in the blazing inferno, as he was indeed fearful.
"Don't worry, my pretties. Daddy Tyrian will save you soon." Tyrian said to the mushrooms he was holding in his arms, when all of a sudden, one of them dropped from his arms. "No! Gotta save them all!"
Kade caught up to Tyrian, as she noticed the burning branch from above Tyrian.
"Crap, that branch's about to fall... If it hits Tyrian, he could..." Kade commented to herself, as she began to run... Just as the branch snapped off the tree.
She sped up, as she shoved Tyrian away from danger... Only for the heavy branch to pin her legs in the process, as well as knocking her out.
Tyrian got up, and looked at the knocked out Kade.
"No, dead body! NO!" Tyrian fearfully shouted out loud, as he ran off, as Kade regained consciousness.
"T...Tyrian? Anyone? HELP?!" Kade shouted up into the sky, as the rains began to fall. Quickly dousing the flame, Kade was relieved... But in pain. "I... can't feel my legs... Or my feet..."
She quickly was face-down on the ground, falling back into unconscious, as a flashlight hit her face...
"We got someone! It appears to be a young girl!" One of the rangers yelled out loud.
"She's pinned under this tree branch!" Another ranger replied out loud. "Her legs are in pretty bad shape."
"Quick! Someone call air support!" The first ranger nodded to a third ranger, as they started to remove the fallen tree branch from Kade's legs...
Present Day
"...And when I woke up... I was in a hospital room. I was curious as to why I couldn't feel my toes, until they told me..." Kade said out loud. "They... had to amputate my legs and outfit me with prosthetics. But some therapy lessons later, I was back in action."
"Wow... No wonder you freaked out over that fire from earlier..." Ada replied. "Well, no matter what, that won't stop us from being the bestest party trio around!"
"You can count on that!" Nicholas also replied right back.
Kade smiled. "Thanks, guys."
Confessional: Talk about a burning backstory...
Kade: But now, the question arises... Should I decal my prosthetics?
Ada: Wow, we know a lot more about Kade... Poor girl.
Steph: Drake knows he likes it. He fits the bad criteria, despite him not having a hot bod and all.
Drake: Steph's kinda... Well, mean... Not like Stella, who's a sweetie. -Blushes-
Twiggy: Mom, I shall continue to make you proud! You can count on that.
Giggling Gryphons
Cherri was inside the cabin, observing a beetle in a plastic cage with a close eye.
"Hmm... The Earth Boring Beetle is a decent digger. Very interesting..." Cherri commented, as a completely lovestruck Nelson came swooning in, and plopping down on his sleeping bag.
"Awww..." Nelson sighed out loud.
"So, our little bro's back from his date?" Cherri asked. "How it go?"
"Well... I wouldn't call it a date, but..." Nelson commented. "At the end, she kissed me on the cheek. She did say it was a sign of friendship. But still..."
"Well, well... Looks like someone has himself a girlfriend." Cherri teased out loud.
"Yeah..." Nelson sighed out loud. "Well, not yet..."
The two sat in silence for a few moments, before...
"So, Cherri? You have a crush on someone?" Nelson asked out loud.
Cherri smiled. "As a matter of fact, I do! He's so good at slashing with his blade. Plus, he's cute, to boot!"
Nelson nodded. "Punk dude back at home?"
"Nope, silly!" Cherri replied, pinching Nelson's cheek. "I'm talking about Benny!"
"That guy with the sword?" Nelson asked. "He's cool!"
"Yeah. Plus, I'm pretty much curbing his Entomophobia." Cherri replied back, smiling. "How he got scared of bugs is kinda a mystery, for starters..."
"Yeah..." Nelson commented out loud.
At the shore, Xantara and Ron were looking out at the ocean.
"So... I'm feeling up for a swim." Xantara said, smiling gently. "Let me put on my swimsuit, and I'll join you."
"Take your time, Xantara." Ron replied back, as he looked at his hoodie. "Well... I guess it's time..."
He waited for a few minutes, as Xantara, in her swimsuit, came running towards her friend.
"Last one in the drink's a Spinal Twist!" Xantara yelled out loud, as she skidded at a halt to see Ron was still in his hoodie. "Aw, Ron... Still holdin' on to that hoodie?"
"Well... You see..." Ron replied out loud, as he removed the hoodie, exposing his bare body.
Xantara was shocked at what she saw.
"Oh, my... Your back's all... cut up and bruised up! What the hell happened?" Xantara asked out loud.
"I... fell down a flight of stairs." Ron lied.
Xantara was skeptical. "Ron, you DO know that I can read your aura... And I can hint at some lying. Now, tell me... What really happened?"
Ron sighed. "My parents... beat me up. All because they're all druggies and drunks. They brew moonshine, they cook up meth, they get drunk on beer, spend the food money on cigarettes... I didn't even get a birthday present this year, thanks to them!"
Xantara was shocked. "Ron... That's awful!"
"Yeah... If there's a reason I distrust people, that's the reason why." Ron replied back.
"But let me go back a bit... What was it that you wanted for your birthday, Ron?" Xantara asked.
"Whatever it is... It's impossible for me to get currently..." Ron pouted.
"Still... I think I can think of something." Xantara replied out loud, as she smiled. "And I got just the idea! ...Though I'm gonna have to ask two of the Pops for assistance."
Benny and Marissa were having a fake sword fight, with Ellis watching. Thankfully for the both of them, the blades were foam rubber.
"En Guarde, Mistress Marissa!" Benny said, as he was blocking blows delivered by Marissa's blade.
"You can't win that easy, Benny Boy!" Marissa snarked back, as she continued to deliver blows towards Benny.
"Get him, Marissa!" Ellis cheered out loud. "You can do it! Remember the heart of the cards!"
Both Benny and Marissa looked at Ellis with a confused look.
"What? People never cheered for me before, so I dunno how these things work." Ellis shrugged.
"Okay, new plan. Take out my MP3 Player, and turn it to track 5." Marissa ordered, as Ellis did so. A fight music that sounded like it came from a video game came blaring out. "There we go. NOW I'm really feeling it!"
Benny gulped. "Oh, crud. I'm about to be defeated by Xenoblade music now, am I?"
Marissa smiled back. "You put up a good fight, but now... It's time for my ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE!"
She then began to 'charge up' as Ellis was concerned.
"Er, Marissa? I highly doubt this is a shonen anime... And by that, a shojo?" Ellis asked out loud.
"MIRIAN MIRAGE... I NEED A COOL-SOUNDING M WORD!" Marissa shouted out loud, as she ran towards Benny, and swung her sword, sending Benny airborne. He soon landed on his back, but thankfully, he wasn't injured.
"Benny? You okay?" Ellis asked, as he got Benny up from the ground.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Benny replied back, as he looked at Marissa. "Still, that was a really cool move!"
"Yeah, but the problem was..." Marissa commented. "I thought up the cool sounding M word at the last minute."
"Let me guess... Massacre?" Ellis asked, as Marissa pinched his cheek.
"You can really read my mind, Ellis!" Marissa grinned back.
In the ocean near camp, Moana was swimming, with Sting catching up. They both were wearing underwater light attachments on their heads.
"So, what is it that you want to show me?" Sting asked.
"Well, I went for a swim before we voted off Yento, and I found something so... Awesome-Cool!" Moana replied back, grinning.
"Awesome-Cool?" Sting asked again. "Is that even a word?"
"Hey, if Yento wanted to call us Yentoulis even after vote-off, he would have sent us a sign." Moana replied back, as she turned on her light. "Now, follow me, buddy!"
Moana took a dive, as Sting followed suit after he turned on his light. The underwater world looked WAY different from the surface. A school of fish were swimming together, a clownfish was in its home, an octopus claiming a disgarded punch bowl as its home, a couple of hermit crabs having a pretend duel... Only that the two crabs were wearing a Pepsi can and a Coca-Cola can on their backs.
Moana had to chuckle at that, as she took out an underwater camera from behind and snapped a photograph of the two dueling crabs, as Sting tapped on Moana's shoulder. He then pointed to what appeared to be coral... In the shape of a heart. The two swam over as Sting swam over to the coral. Floating aside it, Moana snapped a picture of both the coral and Sting, as the two started to surface.
"Woo... You're right, Moana!" Sting said, grinning. "The underwater world IS awesome-cool!"
"You bet it is!" Moana replied, blushing at the emo, as Fang surfaced from behind Moana, licking her in the process. "Aww, Fang... You followed us, boy?"
Fang nodded as he continued to lick the sea gal. But someone at shore was watching the two...
"Ugh, that blue haired bitch is getting close to my cutie!" Olivia complained to herself. "Augh!"
Mozart and GENKI were currently talking amongst themselves. Woodstock was currently asleep in his cage.
"So... How is the scar, Mozart?" GENKI asked out loud.
"Eh, I been through worse." Mozart replied back. "Small explosions, electrocutions... All that doo-dah?"
"No wonder Yentoulis was lazy..." GENKI commented. Mozart gave his new robot companion a gentle smile.
"Hey, you don't have to call the lazy brat Yentoulis." Mozart said with a gentle smile. "Just Yento will do. Or Yent?"
"Okay, I'll give it a try... Yento was just TOO lazy. He would have me sneak into a grape farm for free grapes." GENKI commented out loud
"Wow, that's totally against the law..." Mozart replied back. "At least, I think so."
Mozart and GENKI gave a bit of a giggle, as something appeared to roll towards them.
"Is that the trauma chair from Revenge?" Mozart asked, pointing at the thing.
"I assume so." GENKI replied back. "But it isn't occupied, thankfully."
A grin grew on Mozart's face. "So, you want a boyfriend?"
"Not at this current moment, Mozart." GENKI answered back.
"A girlfriend?" Mozart asked, shrugging.
"I'm straight." GENKI answered, smiling. "Or that's what Yogurt programmed into me."
"So... Wanna convert some of the gizmos in this thingy into something we can use for the greater good?" Mozart asked. "Seriously, this thing shouldn't have been used to begin with in the first place. The heating system? I can convert into an oven. The cooling system? An extra fridge."
"Using a negative and turning it into a positive." GENKI replied back. "Nice thinking."
"Thanks! Now..." Mozart said, as he whipped out a wrench. "Let's prepare the Dr. Pepper. It's gonna be a late nighter."
Confessional: Quite not the intended use, but what are you gonna do?
Mozart: Yeah, that chair caused a lotta controversy...
Benny: Hey, being downed by Marissa'll give me reason to train harder.
Ron: Seriously, no one even cared it was my birthday that day... Oh, well... I'm far away from them now...
Xantara: Hmm... This'll take some planning out, but in the end, I can get it done. -Grins-
Marissa: Ellis would make for the perfect partner in ANY LARPing session... -Blushes- Plus, he's kinda cute.
Ellis: Marissa looked so very cool out there swinging a fake sword! But I'm kinda more of a healer, myself... I wonder if her party would accept a liar like me...
Moana: -She is looking at a photograph- Why hermit crabs chose Pepsi and Coca-Cola is beyond me... At least choose Dr. Pepper next time.
Sting: Being underwater is so awesome! And in case you're wondering, I took swimming lessons when I was around 8.
Olivia: Damn that Moana, getting close to my bad boy... I hope you wait an eternity at a baggage claim.
Later that night, the Geeks were sleeping, except for one...
"No... Help... They're all over me..." Benny muttered in his sleep. Cherri, having woke up to go to the bathroom, was heading back in, as she saw Benny struggling in his sleep. She quietly walked over to him and tapped on him.
"Benny? Wake up?" Cherri asked, as Benny's eyes shot open.
"Whoa... That was horrible..." Benny said to himself, as he sat up. "Thanks for waking me, Cherri."
Cherri gently smiled. "Hey, it's what friends are for. But, what kinda dream you were having?"
Benny looked around, and walked for the door. Motioning Cherri to come on, the two of them left the cabin.
Now in a clearing with some fireflies flying about, Benny looked at Cherri.
"Well, now I feel I can tell you..." Benny said out loud. "I... had a nightmare."
"Whoa..." Cherri replied back. "What kinda nightmare? Something involving that deer from Bambi? That's one creepy and strict fuc-"
"No, that's not it..." Benny said, as he looked at the fireflies. "It involved bugs. You see, when I was younger, I was in Kindergarten, in a park on a field trip. I was chasing after a bully who stole my Swiss Roll. I'm not sure what happened to him, but I think he's in jail for stealing a school bus to avoid an exam he didn't study for. Anyway, I couldn't catch up to him, and I tripped, when I saw this colony of ants carrying a Swiss Roll. Needless to say, I picked it up... And the ants didn't like it one bit. I was soon covered with the ants, as they bit into me several times. Had not been for the teacher taking care of me and finding me unconscious... Anyway, being close to death has given me a fear of bugs from that day on... Until I met you."
Cherri was shocked at Benny's reveal. "Um, what was the park's name, by any chance?"
"Cumberland Park." Benny replied back.
Cherri was in even more shock. "Oh, my... I..."
Cherri took a deep sigh, as she put a hand on Benny's shoulder.
"Benny... If I was mistakened, that Swiss Roll... Belonged to me. I didn't know it at the time, being my class was in nap time, and I didn't hear any ambulance sirens." Cherri said out loud. "But if it's any consolation... I'm sorry."
Benny looked at Cherri for a bit, and smiled.
"What do you have to say sorry, for? It's not your fault! Plus, had not been for your love of bugs, and me getting injured by bugs... We would have never met." Benny said out loud with a smile.
Cherri smiled back as the two looked at each other, as they held hands while watching the fireflies flying around in different patterns, both of them blushing deeply.
Isle Of Rebirth
Early the next morning before daybreak, Lance and Yolei's sleep was interrupted by what sounded like some squeaking wheels.
"Ugh, you got up early... Just to roll a cannon to the beach?" Lance complained.
"Yep... And I got just the plan, too!" Yentoulis said out loud.
"If it has anything to do with cannons being fired at 4AM..." Yolei glared at the lazy nerd.
"Oh, please. Those were just white t-shirts left there... And being they don't fit us, I fired them back at the game." Yentoulis replied out loud. "And being I saw that they could impact the island... I just got a WONDERFUL idea!"
"If it has anything to do with replacing Drake's M&Ms with Skittles, count me out." Lance said out loud.
"Wait, when did that happen?" A confused Yolei asked.
"Behind me... are 100 bottles. In them, are 100 pieces of paper." Yentoulis said out loud. "With my plan, this plan surely CAN'T fail!"
A few hours later, it was daytime, and Xantara was walking on a path. She had some fruits in a basket, as well as some t-shirts on her arm.
"I still don't know how 5 white t-shirts ended up on some trees, but I'll take it." A confused Xantara commented to herself as she looked at the shirts. "But now... Time to look for some fruit."
"Fruit, huh?" Asked a voice eating an apple. "I'm just taking a break from looking for some fruit."
Xantara smiled. "The stars are shining bright... Hi, Grace!"
"Looking for fruit?" Grace asked out loud, as Xantara nodded.
"Yeah, but not for eating." Xantara replied back. "I'm gonna use them for dyes and such."
Grace gasped. "You can DO that? Cool!"
"Yep! I'm gonna bring cheer to someone on my team, so..." Xantara said out loud, as her basket was loaded with some fruit.
"Say no more. Have some from my stash." Grace nodded. "I know you can use them properly."
Grace started to leave back towards her camp, but not before giving a friendly wink at Xantara.
Back at the Geek's camp, Ellis was looking out at sea.
"Well, the sun's up. And without a certain someone to chatize us... We can say stuff freely..." Ellis said to himself. "Still... Hope Yento's all right."
Suddenly, there was a faint explosion sound heard in the distance, as something started to land near Ellis.
"What the hell?" Ellis asked himself, as the object landed near him... It was a glass bottle, with a note inside it. Shrugging, he opened it, took the note out, and read the contents inside.
"It's NOT Yento, it's Yentoulis?" Ellis read out loud, as he pocketed the note. "Dude NEVER gives up..."
He walked back to Camp as Mozart was presenting his latest invention.
"So, let me get this straight..." Marissa stated. "You made a oven... Outta the Trauma Chair?"
"You betchya!" Mozart nodded. "I managed to achieve the impossible!"
"Well, for turning something that enraged online forums into something that'll... Enlighten online forums... It looks rather cool!" Moana said out loud.
"Wait, what online forums?" Sting asked, as...
"Campers! Please head off to Challenge Shore for a surprise!" Chris said over the intercom. "I named it just now."
"Welp, time to rock." Cherri commented out loud.
"And roll?" Nelson joked back, as both he and Xantara chuckled and gave each other a hive five.
At the same time, over at the Popular's Camp, some of them were talking amongst themselves.
"And we can't play Ouija, because..." Steph said out loud.
"Because genius girl over there f***ed up the board by drawing a piece of bacon on it." Heidi replied back, as she looked at Twiggy.
"Hey, it worked." Twiggy shrugged. "Plus, it was Drake's pen. Now we know all the answers to life's everyday problems."
"Bacon, bacon, and more bacon?" Stella asked.
"Absolutely!" Twiggy replied back with a grin.
"Even the undead likes bacon? No wonder the bacon on my bacon cheeseburger from a few months ago was missing. I even blamed it on my dad!" Verna commented out loud as...
"Campers! Please head off to Challenge Shore for a surprise!" Chris said over the intercom. "I named it just now."
"Well, guess it's time to rock." Korpse inquired, as she turned towards Verna. "And Verna? I strongly suggest doing an exorcism first chance you get."
"Yeah... Good idea." Verna replied back. "Before it possesses my Banette plushie and ends up ralphing up cotton... And most likely brags about yelling at the South Carolina Gamecocks for sucking..."
At Challenge Beach, the teams were waiting for Chris to arrive. Korpse and Nelson shared a sweet smile, as the campers were curious about the long tables that were nearby.
"So... What's with the tables?" Nicholas asked.
"I dunno..." Stella replied back. "Arm Wrestling tournament?"
"Yeah, but... Why would there be two tables for an Arm Wrestling tournament?" Olivia asked, as Chris came to the scene.
"Campers, welcome! As you can see, Yento was eliminated last night." Chris commented.
"And thank goodness for THAT." Steph replied back, as a wave from the ocean washed up a bottled note next to Steph. She opened it, and sighed. "Augh, he just doesn't give up!"
"You got bottled chatized too?" Twiggy asked. "I got one just for talking about a Yamhead Souffle! And Thunder got one for talking about his Yorkie Terrior mix back at home!"
"Oh, by the way? Here's your Yotsuba manga back!" Nelson said to Korpse and giving her the manga, as a faint explosion sound was heard, and a bottle fell next to him. "And once again, Y-word strikes. I didn't even say his name wrong, this time!"
"Right... Anyways, you ready for a reward?" Chris asked, as the campers paid attention. "Last night, we asked you about your favorite foods. And today..."
The interns laid some Styrofoam containers on the tables. The camper's faces were on top to indicate which food belonged to who.
"...We cooked them up for you! And along to go with it is some soda. Enjoy your meal!" Chris commented out loud, as the teams went over to their meals.
Steph opened up her food, as Twiggy was concerned. "Um, I think that salad's supposed to be in a clear container."
Steph shrugged. "Eh, salad's salad in my opinion."
Verna smiled, as she looked at her entree.
"Popcorn shrimp... And it tastes like home..." Verna said to herself.
Drake was contently eating his cheeseburger with Stella next to him smiling and taking a bite out of a pork cutlet.
Ada was eating into her alligator fritters, as Nicholas was confused.
"So... They actually cook alligators?" Nicholas asked, as Ada nodded. "Wow... That's new to me."
Marissa was smiling as she was eating some of her schnitzel. Ellis was nearby as he too, was eating his fried calamari.
Sting was a bit confused.
"Er... You mentioned to us before bed last night that your favorite food was blood pudding." Sting said to Olivia as he bit into some of his black forest gateau. "Why do you need a knife?"
Olivia grinned, as she opened the container.
"Blood pudding's actually a sausage, silly!" Olivia commented out loud. "It's just one of those UK thingies that they do, like giving the name of cookies biscuits! Or the name fries into chips!"
"Um... Am I gonna need a UK to English guide if I ever head to the UK?" Sting asked out loud, as...
"So, campers! Enjoying your meal?" Chris shouted out loud, as the Campers muttered some sounds of approval. "Now, I've got a question to ask... What is it... That you fear most?"
"Sloths." Ellis indistinctly said, as he put his hands over his mouth. "Wait, what? I mean Slakoths from Pokemon! By that, I mean Slakings!"
"That's true; those things can really f*** you up in a Double Battle and someone else has Skill Swap and uses it on the dude." Korpse replied back, as Verna nodded in response.
"Okay, anyone else gonna blab about their fear?" Chris asked out loud.
"I'm afraid of committing a crime." Sting answered back. "Like the time I used a Subway napkin at Pizza Hut!"
"Um... Sting, dude? I don't think that's a crime." A confused Mozart replied.
"And the time Fritz the class guinea pig gave babies, when I was taking care of it during Easter vacation, all because my name was drawn up from a hat and I named the little guy. I didn't know it was a Freida!" Sting confessed. "And then there was the time I drunk Sunny Delight outta a champagne glass!"
Moana was furious at the host. "McLean! What the f*** did you do?! Sting here is blabbing about all his hidden secrets!"
"Yeah, that, and the thing's he's kinda talking about... Kinda boring." Olivia commented out loud. "I thought he would have rode a motorcycle with a skull emblem on it! Or at the very least, shoplifted a Snickers."
"Simple! I just added a truth serum." Chris replied back.
The campers gasped either in horror or disgust.
"You bastard!" Mozart shouted at the host in disgust.
"Hmm... Maybe..." Twiggy said, as she sipped into her soda.
"So... What's the verdict, Nancy Drew?" Ron snarked out loud.
"Hmm... Guys? I don't taste any truth serum in the soda." Twiggy commented, as she turned towards the nearest person. "How does your soda taste?"
"Hmm... Tastes normal to me." Drake replied back, as he sipped on his soda some more. "Yep, normal Mountain Dew."
"I knew you guys would assume I stash the serum in the soda. But in fact... I hid it in the foods you were eating! They were fried into the oils, and right into your foods that you requested last night!" Chris exclaimed out loud. "Gotta take more than that to fool me!"
"Dammit..." Twiggy said to herself, as she bit into her bacon.
"Wait, hold on!" Nelson commented out loud. "How about Grace's food? As thus Steph's, Heidi's and Xantara's? The salads and PB were delivered fresh, and Heidi's was grilled!"
"Simple; we coated some oil onto the veggies, fruits, and the bread." Chris replied back.
Steph spat out the salad in her mouth in disgust.
"And as for Heidi's? We laced the mayo with the serum. Trust me, kid. I'm like Nintendo; you cannot beat me." Chris snarked back.
Nelson snapped his fingers in frustration. "Damn! And knowing my luck, he boiled some of the serum into my food as well. Damn Damn!"
"Now... Since you're up, Nelson... What's your fear?" Chris asked.
"Riding in cars." Nelson replied back, as he face-palmed himself. "Fffff..."
"Aww, get bent, McLean!" Xantara yelled at the host. "It's not like you have a fear of getting your face damaged! Just like how I can't stand eating meat!"
Xantara suddenly realized what she said. She too, face-palmed herself.
Confessional: Yep. Chris has hit a new low.
Xantara: Joy... Oh, well. At least I didn't blab about my mom sleeping with a plush meditating puppy dog above her bed. -Her eyes widen- ...Oops. Sorry, mom.
Mozart: Here's hoping they don't know about my fear of Animatronics... Awww... Great!
"So, now that Ellis, Nelson, Xantara, revealed their fears, as thus Mozart in the Confessional, any more takers?"
Cherri sighed. "The Dark Queen from BattleToads. No wonder I decided to play StarTropics with my little bro after getting my ass handed to me in Level 4. I just HATE that blue-haired bitch!"
She then looks at Moana, and grinned in embarrassment.
"Er... Present company excepted." Cherri commented back, chuckling.
"It's fine. I'm kinda afraid of blood myself." Moana replied back. "Poor baby sea lion..."
"Pyramid Head creeps me out, in a way..." Korpse said out loud. "Dude's invincible to everything you can toss at him."
"At least you don't have to deal with legions of Team Jacob fans" Steph replied back.
Verna sighed. "Needles creep me out. I mean, COMPLETELY creep me out."
"My fear? Disturbing attack ad commercials." Nicholas said out loud. "They're mostly negative. And do NOT get me started about 2012's commercials."
"At least you only have to deal with that every 4 years." Kade replied back. "My fear is fire."
"And I am NOT a fan of heights." Ada said out loud. "Seriously, put me up in the air? F*** that!"
Drake gulped. "I... rather not let anyone see my drawings..." He then sighed. "And now... People are gonna see them. Crap!"
Marissa shivered. "I'm... PETRIFIED of kissing. REALLY petrified of it as well."
"Super harsh judges are what I fear." Stella commented out loud. "The only people I ever sung for are people in my school! I even had to feign a sickness just to avoid a talent scout!"
Grace sighed. "I'm afraid of worms... Ever since I bit into an apple in which a worm was residing in..."
Olivia shrugged. "Seeing the world burn. If that would to happen, all the bad boys would die!"
"Um..." Mozart said out loud. "Would you also die alongside the world?"
Ron sighed. "I'm afraid of glass. There, you're happy, McLean?"
"I'm kinda afraid of wasps." Twiggy commented. "At least bees pollinate flowers. Wasps are just psychotic assholes."
"And I'm afraid of Lightning." Thunder said out loud. "Sha-Screw him with a rusty PVC pipe..."
"And that should be all our fears all exposed!" Chris replied out loud, as he sipped a little of his drink. "Yum, yum... nice milk... Now, let's see who can stand up to their fear! Any questions?"
Sting rose his hand, as he looked at Moana with a grin. "So, Chris... What are YOU afraid of?"
"My face being damaged." Chris replied, as his eyes widened. "Okay, I know for a FACT, I didn't ingest any of the serum. How did my secret go out to the world?"
Close by, Kade and Moana grinned as they gave each other a fist-bump.
Confessional: REVENGE!
Moana: -Chuckles- I had to get revenge against Chris for that misdeed, so I asked Kade for one of her cookies and dunked it into his milk, and hoping some of the serum would get into the milk. I never thought it would work! -She claps her hands in approvment- Take THAT, Chris!
At a stage set up on the island, Drake was looking at his sketchbook. Stella was nearby for moral support.
"Drake. You revealed that you didn't want anyone to see your sketches. And to gain a point for your team, you must show at least three drawings to the world. And to do so, we got a handy scanner ready, hooked up to a laptop, that's also hooked up to a projector!" Chris explained.
Drake looked at his sketchbook, nodded silently at Stella, and placed one of his his drawings on the scanner. It then scanned onto the laptop, and onto the projector...
It was a sketch of a cartoony version of Heidi, running towards the screen. In the air appeared to be Lightning in the air, sent airborne due to Heidi running through him.
The audience members were amazed at the sketch.
"Cool!" Heidi exclaimed out loud. "Wish I could do that to Lightning!"
Thunder could only chuckle at the picture of a cartoony Lightning tossed in the air like a rag doll. "You've done really good work, Drake."
"T-Thanks..." Drake replied back, as he uploaded the next picture. It was of a cartoony Xantara, meditating. The cartoony Xantara was floating above the ground, with a content look on her face.
Xantara couldn't help but blush. "Wow... And it's all detailed and everything."
"Awesome!" Nelson exclaimed out loud. "She looks really cool, floating in the air!"
Drake smiled, as he looked through his sketchbook. After shaking his head no a couple of times, he loaded up his last picture: It was of a cartoony Ella, singing in front of a tied-up Chris.
The audience members grinned at that drawing.
"Okay, I admit it. That sketch is funny, Drake." Ron said out loud.
"Sure wish we could tie up Chris like that!" Verna also commented out loud.
"And with that last pic exposed, that gives Drake a point for the Pops!" Chris said out loud.
Drake smiled at his accomplishment as he went backstage with Stella, who was smiling.
"Great job, Drake!" Stella said, smiling gently. "And you didn't need my assistance, this time!"
Drake could only smile back at her response.
"Buuuuuuttt... I couldn't help but notice that you were skipping some pages. Is there something you didn't want the others to see?" Stella asked with a grin.
A now blushing Drake turned towards one of the pages he skipped and showed it to Stella. It appeared to be a cartoony Stella, on stage, singing her heart out.
"Cool..." Stella replied back, while looking at the picture.
"Thanks, Stella." Drake commented, still with a blush on his face.
Ellis was looking at a cardboard box, which was fixated with holes. Marissa was right beside Ellis.
"Chris, I don't know how you can manage to bring a sloth on the island." Ellis commented out loud. "And in just a small timeframe."
"Ah, but I did." Chris replied back, as he opened the box, and the sloth peeked out. Ellis was taken back in fear.
"Chris? But... How? Those things are so slow... And cunning!" Ellis complained.
"And your task is to pet on it for 30 seconds." Chris replied back. "If you can do that, then your team gets a point."
Ellis looked at the sloth in fear, as a hand touched his shoulder.
"Ellis... You can still do it." Marissa said, smiling gently. "You're stronger than you think you are!"
Ellis nodded, as he went towards the sloth, bent down, and started to pet on it. And at the 30 second mark...
"Ellis! You managed to pet the sloth for 30 seconds! That means your team gets a point!" Chris shouted out loud.
Ellis smiled at his achievement, as Marissa grinned at her friend.
"See, Ellis?" Marissa said towards him. "You're brave enough to withstand your fears!"
"Yeah... I am." Ellis replied back, smiling. "Thanks, Marissa."
Ellis turned away from Marissa, with a nervous blush on his face.
Xantara was looking at what was on her plate. It was a solitary meatball.
"Xantara... All you gotta do is eat this meatball, and you win a point for your team!" Chris shouted out loud.
"Um... This goes against all my beliefs..." Xantara muttered.
"But if you blow it... You risk the chance of being voted off."
Xantara looked at the meatball, and sighed as she took a bite into it. Instantly, her eyes began to water, as she ran off. Soon enough, vomiting sounds were heard.
"Oooh, too bad for Xantara..." Chris commented out loud. "But how will the rest of the teams fare against their fears? Find out... After the break!"
Back with Xantara, she was still vomiting, as Drake walked up to her.
"Hey... Feeling okay?" Drake asked.
"Yeah... I'll be fine, once I wash this taste off." Xantara replied back, as she recognized who she was talking to. "So... Drake, is it?"
Drake nodded back in response.
"I kinda have a favor to ask. I saw your artwork, and I think it's really cool. Are you into crafts as well?" Xantara asked.
"Um..." Drake answered back as he nodded.
"Cool... Can you... Make something for me? It's nothing special. Just a peace sign necklace for a good friend." Xantara replied back.
Drake smiled back. "Sure, I can do that... Just give me a few hours, okay?"
"Thank you." Xantara replied, with a gentle smile as she saw Drake walk off to look for supplies. "Now with Drake busy... And with me outta the challenge... It's time to put this plan to the test..."
Yep, Xantara's got an idea up her sleeve... What it is, it's unknown...
Tyrian belongs to my friend CragmiteBlaster, while the chapter title idea belongs to DarkShockBro.
NEXT TIME: The rest of the Challenge, and the vote-off!
