So very sorry for the long delay! Tween Throwdown occupied my time. But this story is back in action!
This episode, everyone's gonna get messy, wet, and a combination of the above!
Game on!
Giggling Gryphons
Underneath a tarp, Marissa was smiling from ear to ear.
"Okay, guys. We're gonna kick some serious ass today at the challenge." Marissa announced. "I know my way around this stuff, so you can ask me anything."
"Err, I thought your job class was something physical." Mozart mused, with Woodstock squeaking in approval. "That's what I totes heard."
"I've got several job classes underneath my friend's sweater, hon." Marissa stated. "Some of them magical, to boot. In all seriousness, I haven't felt this excited ever since I received a copy of Final Fantasy 4 for my birthday!"
"You and me both." Olivia smiled back. "But you rather cool it. After all, don't want the same thing happening to you that happened to me on my 8th birthday."
"What occurred?" Cherri asked.
"I vomited due to excitement when I got Guitar Hero." Olivia answered. "Hey, cut me a break; I was pumped!"
Verna chuckled. "You and me both, only replace Guitar Hero with Pokemon Black 2… So, we already know that Marissa's leading the challenge."
"Well, she IS a Dungeon Queen." Ellis stated. "So… We need something which can counter any elements which stand in our way."
"Hmm… If it's anything like Pokemon Type Science..." Verna mused. "We may need some ice to cool down Bloodtail. Being we were never assigned any fairies for starters."
"You think Bloodtail is a 5th Gen Dragon?" Mozart asked.
"Yikes, I hope not." Verna replied back. "It was almost a requirement to have something to counter Dragons back in 5th Gen online, thank Arceus for Fairy Types come 6th Gen."
"But we won't have to deal with that thing until the end." Moana commented. "And even then, we should have the knowhow to deal with some silly dragon. Now… Any water-based moves?"
Marissa giggled and gave off a wink. "You're the wizard, Moana Potter! It's all up to you!"
"Eh, guess I'm in charge of healing." Xantara inquired.
"Would you wanna have any attack spells just in case?" Marissa suggested. "Just in case things go extremely pear shaped?"
"Hm, yeah. You're right." Xantara replied back. "I'll come packing with some attack spells as well."
"Dibs on any buffs?" Sting asked. "Is that the right word?"
"Bingo!" Marissa smiled back. "I'm proud of you all; you got the lingo down perfectly!"
"And plus, I got some sweet moves to boot!" Olivia stated. "Stuff that'll blast blue fire at any enemies!"
Marissa chuckled. "Well, whatever you say."
Marissa then realized something, as she looked down at her current wardrobe.
"Oh, one more thing!" Marissa announced, as she dove behind a tree, and came back out, decked out in blue-colored robes, similar of that to Leonard from Pawkitew.
"Now I really fit the bill! Red Mage Marissa, at your service!" Marissa saluted. "Ignore the color, my dry-cleaning got swapped!"
The campers looked at her with interest, with Ellis blushing deeply.
"Man, I love it when you role-play..." Ellis commented with a smile developing, and his blush developing into a deeper shade of red.
Powerhungry Polar Bears
"Great; the ONE person that most likely knows this kinda crap is out looking for her..." Steph commented. "Right, so, you know anything about spells?"
"Looking at the spell book, I'm loving these electric based spells." Ada replied back. "Hey, cut me a break; it's why my DJ name is Voltage."
"I shall bring in the buffs." Nick commented. "Cause how can your spells be more electrifying if that doesn't occur?"
Drake looked at the spell list, and smiled. "Looks like I'm hurling ice spells. Unless you wanna hurl them, Stella?"
"Nah, I'm content with healing." Stella answered back. "But why ice spells?"
"Well, my favorite snack to eat while watching cartoons is ice cream." Drake replied back. "Me and ice cream just have a thing going on."
"Makes sense; I like ice cream, too." Stella nodded. "My fave's Birthday Cake!"
"Chocolate Cookies and Cream for me." Drake replied back with a smile.
"Speaking of which, how come we never noticed that cave, before?" Twiggy asked out loud.
"Yeah, you think someone would have mentioned it by now." Grace added.
"Whatever." Steph inquired. "I'm using Dark Powers. Might as well see what this appeal is."
Heidi nervously raised her hand. "Guys? I… much rather not deal with this challenge. Me and caves? We do NOT go together.
"Suit yourself..." Steph replied back.
Stella could only sigh, as she looked out there.
"Man, I really hope Korpse and Nelson's okay." Stella commented out loud.
"Yeah, Nelson never made it here, and then Korpse ran off in this downpour..." Drake inquired.
"You think we should go out there?" Stella suggested.
Drake took a glance at Steph, who was starring at the tall artist.
"From what happened, this is Korpse's battle alone." Drake replied back.
"Yeah..." Stella nodded.
Confessional: This is something she's gotta do herself.
Heidi: A lot of parents lost their kids that day… I lost my friends that day… I don't want that to happen twice in my lifetime… Never again...
Drake: Plus, it's only rain. It's not like any lightning'll occur. -All of a sudden, some thunder is heard. He facepalms himself.-
Giggling Gryphons
Now in the cave, and clearly soaked from the falling rains, they stood in the mouth of the cave.
"Okay, I swear, I didn't shoot off a practice spell into the sky before we arrived here." Moana said out loud.
"In either case, it's time to assess the situation." Marissa announced, as she scanned the area. There appeared to be a heavily armored troll, paroling a bridge going over a dark ravine. "Okay, border patrol's more or less there to prevent any of us from even going deeper into the cave. Trying to get past tall, green, and smelly is neigh impossible."
"Impossible?" Sting asked, as he smiled. "Naaaahhh… I'll try reasoning with it."
Sting walked over to the tall troll, which looked down at the Cheerful Emo.
"So… Um…" Sting said out loud, as he was trying to think up a topic. "You… like My Little Pony?"
Most of the contestants visibly face-palmed themselves.
"Seriously, Sting?" Cherri commented back.
However, as for the Troll…
"Seriously? What, are you dressing up as your super cool, super deep OC Shadow the Pony? You pathetic furfag!" The Troll laughed back.
"Um, what OC? I don't have any OCs." Sting inquired.
"Bullshit. All brony furfags have OCs and love to dress up as them!" The troll replied.
"I'm my OWN OC." Sting grinned back. "Pony or not."
"…That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" The troll commented. "And I'm a troll!"
Back with the other contestants, they were hiding, while watching the back and forth going on.
"Man, Sting's really bombing it..." Mozart commented.
"Yeah, his Charisma stat's kinda low..." Marissa nodded back.
Olivia gave off a slight grin. "No worries… Momma Olivia'll fix it!"
She then took out a notepad, and wrote something down. Once she was done, she showed Cherri said note.
I want to speak to you about metal.
Please meet me near the ravine
In five minutes.
"Metal?" Cherri asked. "I know you like metal and piercings, but is this the time?"
"What, no!" Olivia answered back. "I meant the metal he's wearing. There could be a more tougher metal than the one he's wearing."
"Ahh, right. Gotchya." Cherri grinned back. "Great thinking, Olivia!"
"Yeah, but… You think that'll work?" Moana asked.
"Well, I saw a box of donuts back there." Olivia replied back. "It's worth a try."
"You got this, Olivia." Moana nodded in approval, as Olivia snuck off.
She snuck over to the box of donuts, labeled with the words 'Steel' on the box. She stuck the note on the box, and quickly snuck back.
"Hope you enjoy those donuts, you bullying son of a jerk." Olivia muttered, while waiting for her move.
Back with Sting, he was running out of material.
"Err… I don't have a tragic backstory?" Sting shrugged. "That's all I got."
"You're stupid!" The troll yelled back.
Sting sighed. "Well, guess I can't reason with you. I'll be on my way, now."
He walked back, with his head hanging low, as the troll laughed.
"Another noob rekt!" The troll said with pride. "This calls for a victory donut!"
The troll made his way to his donuts, as he noticed the note. He picked it up, and read it.
"Bah, what a moron! It's obviously screamo, not metal! I'll give whoever wrote this a verbal bashing they'll never forget!" The troll ranted out loud.
Olivia gritted her teeth in anger.
"Fuck! He didn't fall for it..." Olivia muttered to herself.
"Might as well humor him..." The troll commented, as he walked over to the ravine, and stood in front of it.
Following the troll was Olivia, with her wand at the ready. Once she was close enough, she grinned.
"Dark Fire! IGNITE!" Olivia yelled out, as some dark blue fire shot out of Olivia's wand.
"What was that?" The troll said out loud, turning around. "Who's the newb that needs to get rekt'd?"
At that moment, the fireball hit the troll… In the crotch.
"Mother..." The troll held his burnt crotch, as he fell into the ravine, and out of the challenge for good.
"It was the actual metal material I wanted to talk about… punk!" Olivia yelled down into the ravine.
"In either case, nice job, Olivia!" Ellis complimented his teammate, with everyone else nodding in approval.
"Thanks! I kinda borrowed some ideas from a video game I downloaded online." Olivia stated. "Though they don't have the Snap option available… Yet."
"In either case, let's move on before he hits his." Marissa stated, as the group crossed the bridge, going deep into the cave.
Confessional: Role Play with me, Senpai!
Olivia: Don't worry; I wouldn't do any of those actions for real. I may be crazy for bad boys, but I wouldn't resort to flat-out murder for them.
Sting: Hey, if nothing else, that bought her some time. She's gonna make some guy really happy someday.
Powerhungry Polar Bears
They too, got through the troll, although through some… other means. They were running through the cave, currently.
"I know that troll called your cooking some Grade-A bullshit, but that didn't mean you had to MELT him." Thunder scolded.
"Actually, I didn't." Twiggy denied. "I only used a weak fire spell. Although I could have heard Steph use some kind of melting spell."
"Oww… nasty." Thunder commented.
"So, who invited the group of goblins ahead of us?" Grace asked out loud, pointing to a group of goblins up ahead.
"Beats me." Nick shrugged. "Should Ada fire off a warning shot?"
"Well, whatever works." Thunder answered back.
"You're the boss!" Ada nodded, as she aimed his wand at one of the trolls. "Electric Touch! Enspark!"
A tiny spark of lightning went flying out of Nick's wand, as it hit one of the goblins, electrocuting it into ash. The goblins watched their comrade crumbling away, were shocked.
"Yikes..." Ada replied back. "Forgot that I was still buffed from Nick's spells… Oops."
"Sorry about that, Ada." Nick said, face-palming himself.
The goblins were, to put it in simpler terms... Not impressed.
"Augh, that green-haired witch iced Johnson!" One of the goblins yelled out loud.
"He owed me 50 Greloks! Not like I'll get them back NOW!" Another goblin shouted back.
"Hey, like I knew I was buffed!" Ada replied back, trying to reason with them. "I'm sorry, okay?!"
"Sorry doesn't bring Johnson back!" The goblin yelled out. "You're dead, you punk!"
He lept up into the air, and slashed at Ada, causing some damage on her. Stella did a bit of healing.
"What the hell?" Ada yelled back, as she tried to hurl a spell at the goblin attack her, but he dodged. The spell hit a goblin in the back, where the same result was achieved.
"Now you hit Argyle!" The goblin yelled back. "Does your destruction know no bounds?!"
"Snowball Special, Glaciate!" Drake said out loud, hurling an ice ball from his wand at the goblin's feet, freezing him to the ground.
"What the..." The goblin commented out loud. Thunder looked down at him.
"Time to finish this…" Thuder replied back with a smirk. He began to power up a spell as…
"Gravity Dimension! Engage!" Steph yelled, as she activated a spell at the stuck goblin. It was lifted up into the air, ripping the feet from its sockets. It was soon hurled into what appeared to be another dimension.
"These guys are crazy..." One of the goblins muttered.
"CHARGE!" Another goblin yelled out loud, as the group of goblins, sans one, went charging at the campers.
Drake nodded, as he pointed his wand at the ground.
"Icy rink! Glaciate!" Drake yelled, as the spell left his wand, and froze a portion of ground in a sheet of ice.
The currently charging goblins never saw the sheet of ice, as they slipped, and fell over into a pile.
"Oww… Your sword is poking me in the nose..." A goblin moaned in pain, as…
"Lava Hole! Ignite!" Steph yelled out, as an orange circle started to surround the pile of goblins. Soon enough, what appeared to be lava developed underneath the goblins, frying them and melting them into a crisp. Once Steph's spell was done, there was nothing left of them.
The remaining goblin gulped.
"Um… Er… Life's too short!" The goblin said out loud, as he began to run, but…
"Stalagmite Rain! Crackle!" Steph yelled, as some dark-brown magic came from her wand, and developed into a falling stalagmite. It impaled itself through the goblin's body… headfirst.
"Wow, fatality much, Steph?" Thunder asked out loud.
"Hey, they were asking for it." Steph answered back.
"In either case, let's keep moving forward." Grace said out loud, as the group continued forwards.
Confessional: Horrible memories…
Grace: I'm glad that Heidi is back at camp. She would never be able to take it, to be honest...
Steph: These powers are awesome! I wish I had these powers in real life just so I could be even MORE popular and wipe everyone down.
Nelson
Far inland, Nelson was struggling to make it through the downpour, with the thunder rumbling in the distance, still in search for that non-existent flower.
"Okay, Nel… You can do this." Nelson muttered to himself. "You're cold, wet, and Korpse is still pissed at you. With this flower, that'll all change..."
He kept on going, facing against the hard blowing wind.
"Man, this is tough… I haven't felt this upset since mom and dad… died..." Nelson said, as he continued to walk through the wind and falling rain.
However, the wind was too much for him, as he fell face-first into the mud…
Two Years Ago…
The 12 year old Nelson was getting ready for school, as he walked into the living room.
"This is strange..." Nelson mused. "Mom and Dad should be up by now..."
He walked over to their bedroom and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He knocked on it again. Again, there was no answer.
Panic began to overtook the young kid's mind, as he quickly opened the door…
His two elderly parents were there, lying motionless, underneath the covers.
Nelson quickly ran to his parents side, as he began to try to shake them awake.
"Come on, you gotta get up! It's a new day!" Nelson said out loud, shaking them. But they would not wake up.
The now panicked boy soon went to the phone, and dialed 911.
"Is this 911?" Nelson asked very frantically. "This is Nelson Haley, and my parents aren't waking up! Feel a pulse? Okay..."
He held his hand to his mom's chest, and started to panic more.
"I feel no pulse!"
Nelson started to breath deeply, as he learned that the ambulance was on their way…
At the hospital, he was in the waiting room, hoping for some news to come from his parents.
"Mom… Dad… Please… Be okay..." Nelson said, trying to keep himself together.
At that moment, a nurse came out of one of the rooms, and approached Nelson.
"Mr. Haley?" The nurse asked.
"Here… How's mom and dad?" Nelson asked back.
"I don't know how to say this, but…" The nurse said out loud, before taking a deep breath. "They both passed away last night due to natural causes."
At that moment, the world stopped for the young boy, as he began to tear up.
"Mom… Dad… Waaaahh..." Nelson sobbed, as he ran into the nurse's arms for comfort.
Back in reality, Nelson picked himself up, as he continued on.
"Man, that day will be forever etched into my memoreeeeeeee!" Nelson yelled out loud, as he began to slid down a rather steep and muddy hill. Upon stopping, he got back up and tried to walk but…
"OW..." Nelson winced in pain. "I think I sprained it..."
He considered going back to camp, but…
"No. Mom and Dad didn't raise no quitter. I'm doing it for them… For Sis… For Korpse..." Nelson said out loud, as he pressed forward, despite his pain.
Little did he know, Steph's spider was still stalking the gamer, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Korpse
Meanwhile, Korpse was traversing in the rain as well, following Nelson's footsteps.
"Man, if I only knew the truth in the first place, none of this could have happened..." Korpse said to herself.
She then noticed something which was very off...
Nelson's hat was embedded onto the tree branch.
"Nelson's hat..." Korpse commented. "He NEVER takes it off..."
She grabbed the hat, and felt inside it a bit.
"It's still… warm. Despite the rain, it's still warm." Korpse said, feeling a little relieved. "He's gotta be close..."
Korpse carefully pocketed the hat, and continued to make her way down Nelson's path.
"He really DOES care..." Korpse commented, blushing as she looked forward. "Don't worry, Nelson! Korpse's coming!"
Giggling Gryphons
The team continued on, as they skidded to a halt, as something was blocking their path.
"Yuck… Spiderwebs!" Mozart groaned in disgust.
"And it's glowing green, to boot..." Sting noted. "That CAN'T be healthy."
"And when there is a spiderweb, glowing or not..." Marissa mused, as what she predicted came walking up to them.
It was an acid-green, glowing spider. Both Cherri and Olivia grinned from ear to ear.
"AWESOME!" The two girls cheered out in unison.
"If it wasn't holographic, I would completely catch it and study it!" Cherri commented.
"That would make for a badass tat, only on a smaller scale!" Olivia replied back.
"Better watch out, you two!" Mozart yelled. "That dudette's knowing how to swing around!"
Indeed, the spider shot some of its thread into the ceiling, and lunged at Mozart, biting him and hanging on.
"Ow! Get off, you bogus arachnid!" Mozart complained.
"Icicle Missile! Glaciate!" Verna yelled, as an icicle shot out of her wand, knocking the spider off of the inventor.
"Thanks, Verna." Mozart nodded back.
The spider then jumped back up, and had its eyes on the Pokemaniac.
"Come on, you want some?" Verna smack-talked at the spider. "I eat Spinaraks like YOU for dinner!"
She readied her wand again.
"Icicle Missile! Glaciate!" Verna yelled, as she fired off another icicle, but missed. She started to squint at the spider. "Yikes… I just had to lose my contacts earlier..."
The spider shot some thread at the ceiling, and started to lunge at Verna.
"This spells trouble..." Verna muttered, as…
"Hairica-Baxtia! SUMMON!" Marissa shouted out loud, as what appeared to be a teenage girl with the curliest of hair came into view.
"Okay, what's the deal with summoning me?" The teenage girl asked out loud.
"We need you to work your magic against that, and quick." Ellis answered. "Besides, that spider right there? She wanted to declare laws on curls."
"Like hell she is!" The teenage girl snarled out loud, as two scissors materialized next to her. Launching them like rockets, it cut the webbing the spider was using to swing. It was then impaled by the other scissors, embedding it into a wall.
"I'll take it from here, thanks." Ellis nodded, readying his wand. "Blaze Ball! Ignite!"
Ellis launched a fireball at the spider, roasting it, and removing it from battle. The web disappeared as well.
"Well, that's what that bug deserves for saying bad stuff about hair." The teenage girl commented. "I'm outta here. And do something with your frizz, okay?"
She then faded away, as Ellis looked at Marissa with a smile.
"To be honest, I kinda like your frizz." Ellis said out loud.
Meanwhile, Mozart was looking at his body.
"Uh, dudes? My body's more or less turned purple." Mozart commented. "I ain't no Violet from Willy Wonka, man."
"Yikes… You most likely got poisoned..." Marissa nodded.
"What, poisoned?!" Mozart yelled in a panic.
"Hang on, lovely!" Xantara replied back. "Antidotate! Activate!"
Some sparkles coming from Xantara's wand began to surround the inventor, as his purple skin faded away, back to his normal hue.
"Thanks, Xantara." Mozart replied back.
"No prob, hon." Xantara smiled back.
"Hey, you didn't tell us you chosen Summoner as your class!" Ellis said out loud.
"You bet I did!" Marissa proudly replied back. "I could summon anyone. For example… Kazzi McSkeeni! SUMMON!"
At that moment, a blue-mohawked teenage boy appeared within a puff of smoke. The mohawked boy's appearence caused Olivia to squee with glee.
"...I could summon a bad boy for Olivia." Marissa gave off a wink.
"Hello, Douche Nozzles!" The mohawked teenage boy yelled out loud. "Who's the soon to be beaten geek that summoned me?"
"Who cares? BAD BOY!" Olivia yelled out, as she started to run towards the mohawked boy… Only to pass by him. "Oops… hologram. Forgot."
"So… You love yourself a bad boy?" The mohawked boy replied back. "How about we cause some destruction?"
"Err..." Olivia started to say.
"Come on! We can burn that blue haired bitch with your dark fire! And loot her corpse as well!" The mohawked boy commented.
Olivia was stunned. "Wait, what?! First off, that more or less defeats the purpose! Second, she may be after my Sting, but I wouldn't flat out murder her for him!"
"Why the hell not?" The mohawked boy asked. "It's fun!"
"But it's murder!" Olivia replied back. "I only like the bad boys for how thuggish they look, not due to how big their possible criminal record is!"
"Pft, you're lame." The mohawked boy commented.
"So are you. Bye-Bye." Olivia replied back, as the mohawked boy was poofed away.
"Well, that was one of my summons in a nutshell." Marissa lectured. "In either case, let's keep moving."
Confessional: Bad Boys, What Ya Gonna Do?
Olivia: Sure, I may like the bad boys, but I don't want one with a criminal record. I'm nutso, but not crazy to fall for that.
The group continued even deeper into the dark cave, keeping an eye out for any baddies that could jump out in front of them. Ellis was leading the way, using a fire spell as a makeshift flashlight.
"Wow, talk about an increase in the Random Encounters, huh?" Verna commented, as some goblins lept out. "Icy Wind! Glaciate!"
A burst of freezing wind froze the goblins long enough for the team to sneak by.
"Well, at least it's better than psuedo-Metal Gearing your way through a route riddled with trainers." Verna said out loud.
"Don't I know it, babe; having to get to an inn or Pokemon center to heal your bodacious party members and running into many a battle?" Mozart added. "Simply the worst!"
"Hold it, guys!" Marissa ordered. "Xantara, heal our party. Sting, buff us up."
"Okay, you got it." Xantara nodded back. "Healing Wave! Heal!"
Some sparkles of light developed the campers, as any fake wounds they received got healed.
"My turn." Sting smiled. "Defendo Upito!"
Some blue light also developed the campers, making their magic somewhat stronger.
"Hey, all for nothing, but… What's going on?" Moana asked.
"Oh, believe me. I've played enough RPGs as a kid to know when to heal." Marissa answered back.
And Marissa was right. Floating down at the team appeared to be a lady, with some wings for arms. She also had some talons for feet, and was wearing some very revealing clothing.
"Yep… It's a harpy." Marissa commented. "Or if you're real immature, a bird hooker."
"Wow, way to make mystical stuff turn into GTA, brah." Mozart replied back.
At that moment, the harpy floated towards the inventor.
"So, handsome..." The harpy commented. "Wanna have some fun?"
"Err… Yeah..." Mozart blushed, as he looked at Moana. "Um, can I borrow your wand?"
"Why?" Moana asked.
"Just watch." Mozart nodded.
"Okay, then..." Moana replied back, giving Mozart her wand.
"So..." Mozart said out loud. "Rainous Danceous! Ensoak!"
At that moment, a raincloud poofed above the Harpy, with it raining on her on the process.
"Err… What did you do?" Verna asked.
"Nothing, really." Mozart answered back. "Just making it rain..."
Verna facepalmed herself.
"That's the STUPIDEST idea I ever heard!" Verna shouted out loud. "And I'm the one that tossed in Normal-Types against Chuck in HeartGold!"
"Did you win?" Mozart asked back.
The Harpy, however, wasn't so impressed.
"Nevermind, just use a strong Electric spell!" Verna ordered.
"Oh, right!" Mozart replied back. "Voltage Fist! ENSPARK!"
At that moment, from the raining cloud, came an electrified fist, slamming down on the Harpy, pretty much destroying it.
"Wow… Never thought you knew the Rain Dance/Thunder Combo, cutie..." Verna nodded.
"Yeah, you're right..." Mozart replied back. "Wait, what do you mean 'cutie', brah?"
"Eh, nevermind." Verna shrugged back. "Just impressed that you're smart enough to know about Type Science."
"Umm, okay then." Mozart commented.
"Err, can I have my wand back, now?" Moana asked.
"Oh, sure! Here you go!" Mozart replied back, forking over the wand.
"So, time to keep moving?" Ellis asked out loud.
"You bet, Elliebean!" Marissa replied back, as Ellis blushed.
"Hey, only my sis has permission to use that nickname!" Ellis defended. "And by sis, I also mean you."
Confessional: Pet Names. Stay classy, Marissa.
Marissa: What can I say? I more or less love him at this point. I know I can get it through his adopted parent's skulls that love doesn't matter, no matter what sexuality or skin tone you got.
Ellis: Thanks a lot, sis. -Blushes as he smiles- Marissa does say Elliebean rather cute sounding.
Powerhungry Polar Bears
Much like Ellis was on the Geeks, Twiggy was leading the way, using her wand's magic as a makeshift torch.
"Okay, ya fools." Thunder sneered deep into the cave. "Wanna mess with me?"
A goblin, followed by an ogre came out. Thunder gave off a grin.
"Perfect..." Thunder said out loud as he readied his wand. "Englanitic Patriotic! SUMMON!"
At that moment, a group of silver-clothed football players ran through the goblin, taking it out of the battle. Only the ogre was left, flexing its muscles.
"Okay, I think it's time to deflate this guy's ego." Grace snarked out loud, referring to the Ogre.
"Gee, you had to bring THAT up..." Thunder commented back.
"Drenchious Aquataris! Ensoak!" Grace yelled out, as a pillar of water fell onto the Ogre, making it wet.
The Ogre roared in annoyance, as it glared at the Albino.
"Ada, you got this, girl!" Grace announded, tagging in the DJ.
"Indeed I do!" Ada replied back. "Electrious Voltous! Enspark!"
An electric spark flew towards the soaked ogre, electrifying the ogre to the core. It was defeated, and faded away into non-existence.
"Nice job, girl!" Grace said, giving the DJ a high-five.
"Right back at ya, Grace!" Ada replied right back.
That joy was short-lived, by some low growling, which sounded somewhat demonic.
"Umm… What was that?" Grace asked, looking a bit scared.
"Beats me. Can't be any of our stomachs, Twiggy's food is too good for us to leave starving." Nick replied back.
The growling was heard again.
"Okay, now this is getting dark..." Drake commented. "Twiggy, aim your fire wherever the growling is being heard."
"Will do, Drake!" Twiggy exclaimed, as she did so. She then gulped. "Um… You got any hush puppies on ya?"
"Sadly, no." Drake answered back. "All my pockets are full of art supplies. And what do you mean by hush-puppies?"
"Because..." Twiggy replied back, as what appeared to be a three-headed dog came walking up to the group. The dog looked rather demonic, by nature. "I think we're about to be spayed AND neutered by Rin Tin Tin's Great Grandkid..."
"Yikes..." Thunder commented, holding his crotch in fear. "You could have picked a better line..."
"So, what's with this Fido?" Steph asked out loud.
"Um, I think I saw the word Cerberus written on its collar..." Grace answered back. "Guess it has an owner, then."
"So… Think we should find the nearest knight, fork it over to him?" Ada asked.
"Uhh..." Stella replied back, as she pointed at what appeared to be a knight, slumped over. It appeared to be fried to the bone, thanks to the Cerberus.
"Great, if that dude didn't stand a chance..." Thunder pouted. "What makes you think we stand a chance against a blatant Lassie recolor?"
The Cerberus growled again.
"...I do." Drake answered.
"Wait, seriously?" Thunder asked. "You don't seem like the type to take on something to this caliber."
"I dealt with scarier stuff, before." Drake replied back. "Even the kindest of cartoons have their scariest moments."
"Um, sure, bro." Thunder commented, stepping back. "Whatever you say!"
The rest of the campers stepped back, as Drake fought off against the Cerberus, one on one. He dodged its flames within the best of his ability.
"To be honest, I found Tirek more tougher..." Drake said to himself.
However, Drake started to lose steam.
"I think Drake's getting tired..." Stella commented, as she readied a spell.
"Wait, what can you do?" Ada asked. "I thought you were a Healer."
Stella winked back. "From what I understand, Healers can also damage as well."
Stella then gave off a glare at the Cerberus, as she readied her wand.
"Holious Beamous! Enlight!" Stella shouted out loud, as a white beam of pure energy hit the Cerberus on the side, causing it to roar in pain. "Now, Drake!"
"Right!" Drake replied back, as he too readied his wand. "Freezious Bladious! GLACIATE!"
A rather sharp wave of freezing energy struck the Cerberus on the neck, seemingly cutting the head off its neck. The Cerberus roared in pain, as it lumped over, fading away.
"Wow… Never thought you would beat that thing." Thunder nodded in approval. "Nice work, Drake!"
"Yeah..." Drake chuckled sheepishly.
Confessional: Quite the farcry from Episode 1 Drake...
Drake: Yeah, I dunno what caused me to take on something this scary...
Stella: I am so proud of him… -Blushes-
Nelson
Continuing his journey, Nelson kept on looking for the non-existent flower.
"Okay, I gotta get it together." Nelson said to himself. "I shall find that flower, so I can cheer Korpse up..."
He then sat down underneath a tree, as he began to do some thinking.
"...But when I did sign up for the show… I did it with Tomomi's interests at heart." Nelson commented to himself. "I was doing this for you, sis..."
He then closed his eyes, as he remembered the day the two of them met…
Two Years Ago…
Nelson, still a bit sad about his parent's deaths, was standing in the living room of a house. He was recently adopted by the Sakaki's after spending a couple weeks at Heaven's Hope Orphanage.
"So, how do you like it?" A tall Asian man said out loud.
"Err… It looks nice?" A nervous Nelson replied back.
"Well, I'll be happy to show you to your room..." The tall Asian man announced, but…
"Nah, I'll be fine on my own." Nelson replied back. "Thank you anyway..."
Nelson went upstairs, in search for his room, as he heard from a room, a girl saying some stuff out loud.
"Come on… You can do it..." The voice said out loud, not knowing the visitor that was standing outside her door.
"Err… Who are you?" Nelson asked.
The voice turned her head to look at Nelson. She appeared to be Asian, much like the rest of the family. She had raven-colored hair, a purple t-shirt with the Smash logo on it, hot pink pants, and was wearing glasses as well.
"You're my new brother?" The girl asked, as a gentle smile developed on her face. "Come here, it's okay..."
Nelson nodded, as he approached the girl.
"So… What are you playing?" Nelson asked.
"Nothing special; just a Kirby game." The girl answered. "By the way, my name's Tomomi. Nice to meet you!"
"I'm… Nelson." Nelson replied back, as the two shaked hands.
The two became good friends ever since. And while Nelson stuck to his genre, Tomomi stuck to her… Until one day, Tomomi came home from school to see Nelson crying on the bed.
"Nelson?" Tomomi asked, looking concerned. "What's wrong?"
"Everything..." Nelson sobbed. "I was called an orphaned noob, because I couldn't shoot right..."
Tomomi looked at the game that Nelson was playing in question, and then nodded.
"Well, sometimes some people are just real jerks." Tomomi commented.
"All I wanted to do was fit in with the crowd..." Nelson muttered.
"Tell you what; let me grab something from my collection, okay?" Tomomi asked, as she left the room, and came back in, holding a 3DS. "It's Kirby Super Star Ultra."
"Is… it any good?" Nelson questioned.
"Believe me, it is." Tomomi answered back.
Nelson began to play the game, as he started to perk back up.
"Thanks, sis." Nelson commented out loud, as Tomomi placed a hat on his head. It was the signature hat he wore to the show.
"I imported it from Japan." Tomomi explained. "I think it's a good look on you."
Nelson smiled back. "Yeah, it is..."
He then looked at the copy of the game he was playing prior, as he looked at Tomomi.
"Sis? Think we can go to Gamestop this weekend?" Nelson asked. "I've got some… exchanges I wanna make."
"Anything for you, bro." Tomomi replied back, rubbing her brother on his head.
Nelson opened his eyes, back in the torrential downpour.
"Well, that was a good rest..." Nelson said to himself. "My ankle still hurts, though..."
He then got up, and started to slightly limp his way forward.
"But I… OW… Shall press on..." Nelson commented. "For Tomomi… And for Korpse..."
Little did the gamer know, the spider that was tailing him, lowered itself from the tree he was resting under. It looked pissed that it had to continue following him.
Korpse
Running down the rain-soaked path, Korpse was looking all over for any signs of her friend.
"Nel? Where are you?" Korpse asked out loud, as she came to a stop all of a sudden.
There was a gushing river of water, blocking her path.
"Aww, fuck!" Korpse shouted out in frustration. "What do I do now?!"
She surveyed the current situation.
"If I try swinging across, or pushing a tree down… I would most likely end up like Leslie in Bridge to Terabithia… Dammit..." Korpse mused, as she stomped the ground. "I need some kind of miracle..."
At that moment, a bolt of lightning came crashing down near a tree, the force knocking Korpse back. The tree soon fell onto the river, with any flames on it being extinguished very quickly by the downpour.
"Okay, not the miracle I've expected, but… I'm taking ANYTHING at this point." Korpse mused.
She then hopped onto the log, and began to run across, as the raging waters started to slightly move it. Korpse knew she had no time to stop, so she made a huge leap across, landing on the other side.
"Perfect-O!" Korpse replied in glee. "Knew those skills in Assassins Creed would pay off."
At that moment, the downed tree soon gave way from the raging river, as it was carted downstream.
Korpse looked back, and shook her head.
"One more second on there, and..." Korpse said to herself. "But enough about that; I gotta get going!"
She soon reached what appeared to be a muddy enbankment. She looked down to see a slight indent.
"I know that shape..." Korpse commented. "Nelson must have fallen down here… But the real question is… How do I get down there?"
At that moment, a bolt of lightning struck down somewhere near camp, spooking the goth girl.
"Yeesh, I'm thinking! Give me a moment!" Korpse yelled out loud.
She looked up to see a rather large leaf, about half the size as her. She then looked down at the muddy embankment. She then climbed up the tree, and plucked the leaf off.
Now starring down at the embankment, she used the leaf as a makeshift snowboard, sliding to a complete stop at the bottom.
"Okay, now that I'm done playing Snowboard Kids, it's time to get back to catching up with Nelson!" Korpse exclaimed as she continued to run down the path…
At the Geek's Camp, GENKI was laying face down on the ground, seemingly smoking and looking charred.
"Master… Mozart… Ous..." GENKI could only muttered out, as she came to a complete stop.
Fang, seeing this, lept out of the water, and dragged the now inoperable robot, underneath some shelter. He then kept guard over anyone or anything that would come their way.
Giggling Gryphons
The team came running through the cave, as they came to what is assumed to be a crimson carpet.
"Looks like we're getting close to Tharlax, if that's what the carpet suggests." Moana commented. "It's such a nice carpet, though there needs to be a blue shade."
"You think they would come in on a purple rug?" Verna suggested. "It's a color of royalty."
"I blame Hollywood on this front." Ellis commented, as they stopped in front of what appeared to be a throne.
And sitting on the throne, appeared to be a rather large and muscular goblin. He was decked out in royal clothes, and had jewels on every finger. He even had his septum pierced, along with some jewels decked on it. He was the Goblin King Tharlax, and he was clapping sarcastically.
"Very well done… I never expected you all to get this far." Tharlax said out loud.
"Yeah, yeah, it's an overdone clique. We were expected to get this far, for starters." Olivia replied back. "By the way, diggin' your septum ring, bro."
"But, I'm afraid this is where your journey ends. For I can not allow you to defeat me." Tharlax explained back.
"So says countless other villains." Marissa commented back, fiddling with her glasses. "Golbez, Gilgamesh… I've aced them all."
"Well, I am not like those other villains. I am the Great and Powerful..." Tharlax yelled out loud.
"Trixie!" Ellis shouted out loud, interrupting the King.
Everyone was looking at the liar with a hint of confusion.
"Err… I don't think he looks very much like a pony, dude." Sting suggested. "At ALL."
"EXCUSE ME?!" Tharlax yelled out in a fit of rage. "I am known as Great Goblin King Tharlax! And I shall make you remember that when I send you to your graves!"
Tharlax lept out of his throne, as he readied his scepter.
"Lava Hole! Enlight!" Tharlax shouted out loud, as the contestants managed to dodge the same spell that Steph on the Populars used earlier.
"Holy… He can use spells, too!" Moana said out loud.
"And with it being Darkness..." Marissa mused. "Be careful, guys! We gone this far; we haven't been defeated yet!"
The team nodded, as they had to think of a way to dispose of Tharlax.
"Let's see… Darkness against Darkness is more or less out." Xantara commented. "Meaning Olivia's more or less unable to do anything."
"Damn, I was gonna Glaciate that jerk, too." Olivia replied back.
"But… Maybe if we destroy his wand?" Sting suggested.
"How? He more or less keeps it grasped in his hand." Ellis commented.
Cherri smiled. "Whenever there's a will, there's a way."
Olivia did some thinking, and suddenly realized something.
"Hey, Cherri! You never mentioned your Job Class before." Olivia commented. "What is it?"
"Well..." Cherri looked up, and gave off a grin. "Stalagmite Rain! ENEARTH!"
A powerful ball of brown energy came from Cherri's wand, as it formed into a stalagmite. It soon landed on Tharlax's hand, forcing him to drop the wand.
"Now, it's my turn!" Olivia replied out loud, readying her wand. "Dark Hole! RERISE!"
A ball of black energy soon developed, as it warped into what could be a black hole. It sucked up the wand of Tharlax, rendering his magic useless.
"Guh! I don't need no stinkin' wand to take you all down!" Tharlax shouted out loud.
He started to run towards them as…
"Icy rink! Glaciate!" Verna shouted out loud, causing the floor near Tharlax to freeze, causing the King to slip and fall, face first. "You were sayin'?"
"Now, time to dethrone ya, brah." Mozart announced. "Voltage Beam! Enspark!"
He aimed his wand at Tharlax, causing him to be electrified. And with the frozen floor, that intensified the electricity, effectively ending the Goblin King.
"Nice work, Mozart!" Marissa cheered out loud.
"You really showed him who's boss!" Sting complimented.
"All in a day's work..." Mozart smirked back.
At that point, there was so low key growling.
"Who dared to slain my Master?" A loud voice said out of nowhere.
The Geeks looked beyond the throne, just in time to see a foot smash it to splinters. They soon looked up to see a rather tall dragon, looking down upon them.
"Ohh… forgot about the dragon…" Moana commented. "Oops."
Confessional: Cave And Dragon?
Marissa: Yeeeaahhh, this ain't your normal dragon…
Powerhungry Polar Bears
They too, finished off their Tharlax… Though in a rather off-key way.
"Seriously, Steph. You had to freeze him solid, but you also have to go the T-1000 route by melting him as well?" Ada asked out loud.
"Well, he looked ugly." Steph answered back.
Much like the Geeks, they too, were met with some low key growling.
"Who dared to slain my Master?" A loud voice said out of nowhere.
It too, smashed the throne, as they looked up to see a blood red dragon. It looked to be rather mean, as it looked down at the intruders.
"So… You all took down my master..." The dragon spoke in a commanding voice. "How foolish. Do you expect me, Bloodtail, to accept a form of apology?"
"Err, not really." Grace commented. "I be pretty pissed too, if someone killed someone I cared about."
Bloodtail looked down at the Populars with interest.
"Well, I might as well have you all for dinner..." Bloodtail spoke, as it eyed Drake with interest. "Might as start with you… You're just One Coarse Meal, anyway..."
Drake's eyes went from worry, to that of pure rage.
"What… did… you… say?!" Drake spoke with anger in his eyes.
"I just said you were one coarse meal-" Bloodtail explained as…
"FUCK YOU!" Drake yelled out, with tears developing in his eyes. "Don't EVER mention that to me, ever!"
Most of the campers were surprised, mostly at Drake swearing, because he never swore… EVER.
"Did I touch a nerve? Oh, how I do love my food to be ever so divine with tears." Bloodtail replied back. "It marinates the skin, from what I heard."
"What kinda sicko are you?" Twiggy asked. "That doesn't happen, at all! All you did was upset Drake just now!"
"You're quite the feisty one..." Bloodtail replied back. "I'll eat you last..."
"Careful, guys! He means business!" Stella inquired.
Confessional: When does a dragon not mean business?
Drake: -He is looking visually upset- Stupid Zeus Carvas for making that episode… Stupid network for airing it…
Stella: Poor Drake… I have to see what caused him to snap like that…
Korpse
She continued on, as she saw something in the trees fall down.
"The heck?" Korpse asked, as she examined it…
It appeared to be silk from a spider's thread. Korpse gulped in worry.
"Oh, God..." Korpse said out loud, as she saw what could be more silk in the trees. "Something is after..."
She then ran into the direction, really scared for Nelson's life now.
Nelson
Nelson was visibly and mentally exhausted.
"I still can't find that flower for Korpse!" Nelson complained. "Sure, I can pick another flower, but I want the one suggested!"
He then sat down, having spent all of his energy.
"I don't know how far I am, it's still stormy, my leg hurts as hell, Korpse is mad..." Nelson mused, as he sighed and closed his eyes.
Earlier This Year…
Nelson and Tomomi were watching TV. One of their favorite shows was the Total Drama series.
"I really adore Samey." Nelson commented. "Shame her twin sis is in the way..."
"Eh, I'm more of a fan of Harold." Tomomi mused. "He's just so cute-lookin'."
"Hey, sis? Idea just popped in my head just now." Nelson said, looking confident. "Why don't you sign up for the show?"
"I dunno..." Tomomi muttered. "What if I don't get accepted?"
But Nelson smiled back. "You will be accepted! I know so!"
"Thanks, bro." Tomomi gave off a smile. "I'll do it. I'll sign up."
"Nice!" Nelson pumped his fist in triumph. "And who knows? You may meet a Harold of your own on the show?"
Tomomi gave off a playful smirk. "You flatterer..."
Tomomi did an audition tape with the help from Nelson, and she sent in the application form. A month passed by, before the two got any news.
"So..." Nelson asked, as Tomomi was reading the mail. "Did you get in?"
Tomomi read the letter, and gave off a grin.
"I got in!" Tomomi shouted out loud. "I'm a contestant on Total Drama: Geeks VS Populars as a Geek!
Nelson hugged his sis tightly. "Congrats, sis!"
"Thanks, bro! We… We gotta have a celebration!" Tomomi exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Nelson replied back.
"I'll be at the store for just a few minutes to get some supplies." Tomomi explained. "You'll be okay by yourself?"
Nelson nodded. "Sure."
Those few minutes turned into a few hours, and Nelson was getting worried.
"Where the heck's Tomomi?" Nelson asked. "I tried calling on her cell phone, but she won't pick up..."
At that moment, the phone in the house rung. He answered it.
"Hello?"
"Is this the Sakaki residence?" A voice said from the other line.
"Yeah?"
"I don't know how to say this, but..."
…
…
…
…
"...Your daughter, Tomomi Sakaki, was involved in a car wreck." The voice answered, as Nelson's heart sunk. "Speed and texting was a factor in the wreck from the other driver. He died at the scene. We were able to revive Tomomi, but she is in a coma right now… We're not sure if she'll make it..."
Nelson dropped the phone, as he went to find his parents.
"Hello? Hello?"
Once at the hospital, Nelson ran to where Tomomi's room was. Once he entered, he couldn't believe his eyes.
The older sis was in real bad shape. She was bandaged up, seemingly from head to toe, and her glasses were missing, presumably destroyed in the car accident.
"Sis!" Nelson cried out loud. "Oh, God… Why did I suggest you to sign up for the show? First I lose my parents, now you?"
"Now, dear? The doctor did say-" Nelson's mom said out loud.
"That doesn't matter much; Tomomi's in a coma! We were supposed to get any new Pokemon games together! We aced each other in Kirby… I… I love her..." Nelson tearfully shouted out loud.
At that point, Tomomi started to weakly open the eye that wasn't bandaged up.
"N...Nelson?" Tomomi weakly asked. "I… love you too..."
"Tomomi!" Nelson shouted with glee. "What happened?"
"I dunno, but all I can remember before going black was a car hitting me on the side..." Tomomi answered. "It… hurts..."
"I know..." Nelson replied back.
"And sadly..." Tomomi added. "I'm not sure when I'll recover, but… I have to… drop out of the show."
Nelson was stunned. He wanted to watch his big sister on TV, but now that fate took that away from him…
"No, don't do that..." Nelson suggested.
"What, but I'm in no shape to-"
"I shall attend the show in your place." Nelson replied back. "I suggested it to you, and look where you ended up. I shall get on the show… For you, sis."
"Really? T… Thank you." Tomomi commented.
"I'm not sure how high I'll rank, but I shall do my best." Nelson replied back.
Tomomi smiled. "Good luck, bro. If anyone can achieve anything… It's you."
Back in present day, Nelson tried to get up.
"Okay, I shall do everything I can to FIND that flower!" Nelson shouted out loud, as…
Some sickening screeching was heard.
"What was that?" Nelson asked, as the spider that was stalking Nelson all day made its appearance. "Err… Nice spider..."
The gamer backed up, wincing as he stepped with his sprained foot, as the spider got closer. He soon tripped, and was on his butt. He looked around for anything to find to defend himself, but to no avail.
"I… give up." Nelson muttered. "Sorry, Korpse… Sorry… Sis..."
The spider was readying itself for the kill, not knowing on what was running up to the two.
Nelson looked up into the skies. "Mom? Dad? I'm about to join you in a few minutes..."
The spider made a leap, aiming for Nelson, as…
…
…
...A rock being hurled with a lot of force impacted with the spider, knocking it off its path, and into the mud.
Nelson was confused at the sudden attack that saved his life. "Huh, what?"
The gamer turned his head at the direction the rock was tossed from, and his eyes went wide.
Korpse was standing there, with a look of confidence.
"Okay, Itsy Bitsy… You mess with my best friend… You mess with me..." Korpse announced out loud.
The spider gave off a glare at the Goth Girl, as it chattered in anger. The battle was about to begin, and only one would walk out… alive.
Cliffhanger! Wow, I can make them sound epic, huh?
NEXT TIME: The battles against the Dragons, as thus Korpse's Battle against the spider/
