(A/N: Sorry this update took so long. I've been having computer issues... Again. This time, however, I decided to do something different and attempt to use my smartphone. So, please let me know how this chapter came out int terms of layout and typos, because there's a chance I may have to do this again in the future.)

It was early morning, and Chris was making breakfast in his lodge.

"This'll show Milton," he muttered, "today will bring in the ratings for sure! Then he'll be begging me to sign on for another season, and I'll say-"

Chris was interrupted by the sound of a window shattering.

"Uhhhhhh... VIA?" Chris called out.

There was no answer, and Chris craned his neck to get a better view outside of his kitchen.

"Hello?" he asked, "Whoever's in here better have a damn good reason for... for..."

Chris stopped talking when he saw who was in his cabin.

"S...Sadie?" he gulped.

In response, Sadie just grinned, and lunged across the room. Chris was quickly pinned to the ground, despite his best efforts to get away.

"Oh god!" he shouted, "Don't kill me! I'm too pretty to be stuffed in a box!"

"Kill you?" Sadie grinned, "No, not yet. I've got a LOT planned for today-"

"Today?" Chris groaned, "Why today? Can't it be after the next challenge? That works better!"

"NO, it can't wait until after the next challenge!" Sadie shouted, "You know why? Because I've got my OWN set of challenges planned for today! And they've got an even lower survival rate than YOURS."

~o.0.o~

"I don't get it," Josh frowned, "Chris SAID he'd be here."

"Chris says lot's of stuff," Noah sighed, "he's probably off getting wasted somewhere. Frankly, I'm just surprised any of us agreed to come back here, even if it WAS just for a few days."

Noah, Josh, and Justin were standing on the beach, waiting impatiently for Chris to arrive.

"I needed to come," Justin sighed, "my agent said it would be a good way to promote my new movie."

"Oh god, THAT'S why you're here?" Noah asked, "Justin, I'm sorry, but you can't act worth a damn."

"Yeah," Justin nodded, "but people don't really seem to care about acting these days. Just explosions."

"Fair point," Noah agreed, "but still, I thought the three of us agreed not to come back-"

"I didn't have a choice," Josh sighed, "my boss ASSIGNED me here. It's a bit of a running joke with him to assign me the worst stories he can find."

"So you're just here to report?" Justin asked.

"Yup," Josh nodded, "I just jot down a few quotes, take some pictures, and go home tomorrow."

"Lucky," Noah sighed, "Justin and I have to stay here for a few days before we can collect OUR paychecks."

"You're not competing again, are you?" Josh asked.

"Nope," Justin sighed, "we're just here for a special appearance. We have to coach the teams through a challenge, or something like that."

"I thought you both agreed you were done with reality TV," Josh frowned.

"Hey, we have to pay the bills somehow," Justin shrugged, "if that means a cameo or two, so be it."

"You know, Chris sure is taking a while to get here," Josh pointed out.

"Chris is always late," Noah shrugged.

"Fair enough," Josh said, "but it's been like an hour. I'm gonna go check out his lodge."

"Alright," Noah shrugged, "we're gonna go say hi to everyone at the cabins."

"I'll meet you there once I find Chris," Josh said.

"IF you find Chris," Noah frowned, "these maps he gave us are nearly incomprehensible."

"I'm sure it won't be too hard," Josh shrugged, "I just need to find the biggest and nicest building here- that'll be his."

Josh gave his two friends a smile, and went on his way.

~o.0.o~

Cody let out a yawn, and opened his eyes- and was alarmed to find he was in the middle of nowhere.

"Aghhh!" He cried, "This isn't the cabin! How did I get out here?"

"Cody, you're awake!" A voice exclaimed.

Cody turned and saw Gwen rushing over to him.

"Are you alright?" She asked.

"Fine," he muttered, "just really, really confused. How did I get out here?"

"you mean you don't remember either?" Gwen asked.

"No," Cody said, "the last thing I remember was getting ready to go to sleep in my cabin!"

"oh man," Gwen said, "this is bad. How the hell did we-"

"Look, we can figure this out later!" Cody exclaimed, "right now we need to get back to camp!"

"Right," Gwen muttered, "wherever that is."

~o.0.o~

After an hour of making his way through the wilds, Josh was relieved when he was finally in sight of Chris' lodge.

"About time," Josh said, "I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever find it."

Josh approached the lodge with a smile on his face; a smile that faltered when he noticed there was a trail leading from Chris' doorstep into the wilds. From loge looks of it, it seemed that someone had dragged something heavy away. Keeping his cool (as easily or an intern could have made the trail while carrying equipment) Josh got closer to the cabin- and realized something had been very, very wrong. The front door was slightly ajar, the powerlines cut, and one of the windows smashed.

"What the hell...?" Josh murmured.

Josh was about to go inside the lodge when he heard the trees begin to rustle. Instincts taking over, Josh quickly leapt into cover. A hulking, deformed figure came out of the woods, panting heavily. Josh squinted his eyes for a closer look, an was taken aback.

"no way," he said, "is that-"

Sadie lurched into Chris' cabin, door slamming behind her. Josh slowly backed away, then turned and ran towards the beach.

~o.0.o~

The contestants were sitting around by the cabins, talking to Noah and Justin.

"It's good to see you guys again," Duncan smiled, "how have you been?"

"Fine," Noah shrugged, "how's Chris been treating you guys this season?"

"Same as always," Duncan shrugged, "though something about him seems a bit off."

"Something's always off with Chris," Noah remarked, "guy's a sociopath."

"So," Justin said, switching topic, "these guys must be the new contestants, right?"

"Uh huh!" Veronica smiled, "My name's Veronica! oh, and this is Sunny, those two over there are Lucky and Lance, and that's Quinn-"

"I think they get the point, sweetie," Sunny smiled, "we can do the introductions later."

"aw," Veronica frowned.

"So, wait a second," Justin said, "you guys didn't already vote off Cody, did you? I wanted to talk to-"

"Uh," DJ frowned, "well, the thing is..."

"What?" Justin asked, "Is he here or isn't he?"

"Oh, they're here," Harold said, "we think."

"You THINK?" Justin demanded, "And who's 'they'?"

"Cody and Gwen," Duncan sighed, "look, we don't know what happened, but they've been gone nearly a day now, and Chris won't help us look for them."

"Then WE'LL help you look for them," Justin said, "c'mon Noah, lets-"

"GUYS!" A voice shouted.

Everyone turned and saw Josh sprinting towards them.

"oh no," Noah frowned, "I think something's wrong."

When Josh reached the competitors, he paused momentarily to catch his breath.

"Guys," he said, "Sadie has Chris!"

For a moment, silence. Then, several of the competitors began laughing.

"Come on, Josh," Noah smirked, "Sadie? There's no possible way it could have been her."

"Maybe not," Josh agreed, "but someone snatched Chris!"

"Then it's part of a challenge or something," Noah shrugged, "no need to get worked up over it."

"It isn't a challenge," Josh insisted, "I can show you Chris' lodge, the place is wrecked! He wouldn't damage his own stuff, even if it WAS for ratings!"

At this, a few campers exchanged nervous glances, but Noah remained unconvinced.

"Alright," Noah shrugged, "then show me. I'll go with you to Chris' cabin and we can't put this to rest. Chris is probably already laughing at us anyway."

"I'll come with you guys," Justin said.

"Me too," Duncan agreed, "just in case something should go wrong."

"Alright, we'll be back in a bit," Josh said, "the rest of you stay here until we confirm its safe."

"Awww," Veronica frowned, "that's no fun."

~o.0.o~

About twenty minutes later, the four boys were outside of Chris' cabin.

"See!" Josh snapped, "Look at this!"

Josh gestures to cut lines and smashed in windows.

"You were serious," Noah said.

"Of course I was! Why would I make this up?" Josh asked.

"I hate to be that guy," Duncan frowned, "but have you gone inside yet?"

Josh shook his head, and the four exchanged worried looks.

"At least one of us needs to go in," Duncan said, "we need to be sure Chris isn't in there."

"Justin and I will go in," Noah offered, "you two stay out here and make sure nothing sneaks up on us."

"Do I have to?" Justin groaned.

"Yes!" Noah snapped.

Justin muttered something under his breath, then followed Noah inside.

"Okay," Duncan started, "we just wait out here until-"

All of a sudden, screaming was heard from lodge, followed by a large crash. Duncan and Josh exchanged a quick glance, and then rushed inside. There, they were greeted by a large hole in the wall of an otherwise empty room.

"What the...?" Duncan gasped.

"We need to get back to camp," Josh said, "come on!"

When the two turned to leave, however, a large figure appeared in the doorway behind them.

"Hello, boys," Sadie grinned.

"Duncan," Josh whispered, "just back away slowly. When I give the signal, run for it."

"What?" Duncan asked, "I'm not going to l-"

"Just do it," Josh instructed, "you need to warn everyone back at camp."

"Fine," Duncan agreed.

"Well, I was hoping to keep my return a surprise," Sadie smiled, "but it looks like that won't happen with you two running around. You'll have to come with me, sorry."

Sadie grinned viciously, and stepped forward. In response, Josh reached down, and grabbed something from his belt. Sadie leapt forward, and a cloud of pepper spray soon hit her full force.

"Go!" Josh shouted, "Stick to the wilds!"

Duncan nodded, and ran out of the lodge. Sadie soon recovered from he. Momentary daze, and turned to Josh.

"You're going to suffer for that," she hissed.

~ o.0.o~

Duncan sped away from the cabin, as fast sad he could manage. As Josh instructed, he stuck in the wilds, hoping it would make him even a little harder to detect. Duncan rushed towards camp, and was alarmed to see a figure leap out in front of him.

"Agg!" Duncan shouted, momentarily horrified, "Get away- wait a second, Cody?"

"Duncan?" Cody asked, "What are you-"

"No time to explain, we need to get out of here!" Duncan instructed.

A second later, and Gwen steppe out of the woods and next to Cody.

"Hold on, we need some answers!" Gwen snapped, "We woke up out here an hour ago, and-"

Gwen was interrupted by a loud roar coming from behind the contestants.

"What was that?" Cody gasped.

"Look, none of us at camp know what happened to you guys,"Duncan assured the two, "but we have to move, NOW!"

Duncan ran past the two, although it didn't take long for them to follow.

~o.0.o~

Back at camp, the competitors were lazily awaiting the party's arrival. Veronica, aim particular, was busy with her GameGo6000.

"Whatcha' doing?" Sunny asked, sitting beside her.

"Playing Guitar Champion," Veronica responded.

"What's the point?" Sunny asked, "I can teach you how to play the REAL guitar."

"Yeah, but this is just as good!" Veronica insisted, "see? I've almost mastered 'When the Levee Breaks'! Here, wanna try?"

Sunny hesitantly took the game, and began to scroll through the selection.

"What, no Mötley Crüe?" She asked, looking offended.

She shook her head, and picked a song.

"Okay," she muttered, "lets just... Come on, come on..."

Sunny hit as many notes as she could, but was soon greeted with the game over screen.

"YOU SUCK," the game informed her, "YOU HAVE DISHONORED YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY. GO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE, YOU STUPID MOUTH BREATHER."

Sunny let out a string of profanities.

"This isn't real guitar!" Sunny snapped, "a game like this can't-"

"GUYS!" Duncan shouted, "We've got an emergency!"

Sunny stopped talking, and looked down the beach, where Duncan, Cody and Gwen were. The other campers began to take notice, and gathered around the beach where the three had arrived.

"What's going on?" Courtney asked, worried.

"Something got Chris," Duncan panted, "the others, too- I'm the only one who got away!"

"something got- ohh, you mean like a monster?" Veronica asked, eyes lighting up, "Thats so cool!"

"Yes, a monster!" Duncan nodded, "and what's more, I think it might Sadie!"

The veteran competitors gasped, and looked extremely frightened.

"Duncan, that cannot be," Alejandro reasoned, "she was-"

"Sent to space? Yeah, I know."

Everyone turned and saw Sadie approaching them from the wilds.

"Okay, this is pushing it," Alejandro frowned, "this must be some sort of sick joke."

"Oh, it's no joke," Sadie insisted, "I'm back. And I'm here for all of you."

"Okay, Sadie?" Courtney smiled, "Can't we talk this out? We can just all go our separate ways and-"

"NO!" Sadie shouted "Its too late for that now! All I ever wanted was a fair shot at this show, and look at what you guys did to me! I just wanted to compete! To be someone! And you did THIS!"

"To be fair, that was Izzy's fault," Duncan said.

"Oh, I know," Sadie grinned, Finns one day I'll do to her what she did to me. But for now, I'm going to exact revenge on you, the ones who made my life miserable!"

"Can we go?" Miri asked, "I mean, we never met you, so..."

Sadie grinned at Miri.

"Oh no, stay," Sadie grinned, "I've got a surprise for all of you. As of now, I'm in charge of Camp TV, and I say it's time for a challenge. The winning team will win immunity, the losers sending someone home."

"Are you serious?" Tyler asked.

"Deadly!" Sadie hissed, "so, lets begin, shall we? I call this challenge, 'see how many pounds of pressure the human collarbone can withstand!"

~o.0.o~

Chris, Josh, Noah and Justin were locked away in a cramped room.

"Well this is a fine mess you've all gotten me into to," Chris huffed.

"Excuse me, but how is this OUR fault?" Noah demanded.

"I'll let you know when I figured that out!" Chris snapped, "But first we have to get out of here and into the game room!"

"Game room?" Josh asked.

"Well, equipment storage is the technical term," Chris said, "but I call it that because that's where I keep most of the fun stuff. Guns and explosives and traps, that sort of thing."

"So if we get to that, we can stop Sadie!" Justin smiled.

"Of course, we won't HURT her," Josh said.

"Won't hurt- Josh, she attacked us and locked us up, of COURSE we're going to have to hurt her!" Chris snapped.

"Look, we've done enough damage," Josh said, "can't we just incapacitate her or something?"

"Whatever," Chris grumbled, "you pansy."

"So, any ideas about how to get out of here?" Justin asked.

"None at all," Chris frowned, "I honestly have no idea where we are, and it's too dark to see anything."

In response, Josh pulled a lighter put of his pocket, and flicked it on, illuminating the room slightly.

"Alright," Josh sighed, "it looks like the door is... Oh no."

Josh gestured to the ceiling, where there was a trapdoor above them.

"Directly above us," Noah sighed.

"So, what?" Justin asked, "We supposed to stand on each others shoulders, or something?"

"That looks like the only way so far," Noah nodded, "okay, so Justin, you stand on the bottom, then Josh, then me..."

A few minutes of struggling, and the Noah was able to open the trapdoor, and raise himself out. He was then able to help lift Josh out. With some effort, they managed to reach down and pull the other two out.

"Okay," Noah panted, "Now what?"

"Follow me," Chris said, "we need to get armed if were going to take down Sadie ourselves."

~o.0.o~

Back at camp, the contestants were lying on the ground, bloody and bruised.

"Well," Sadie grinned, "you guys have done alright so far... But now I think its time for the tie breaker."

Sadie smiled, and pulled a nightstick from her coat.

"This challenge," she smirked, "is all about survival. Whoever goes the longest without-"

She was interrupted when a tranquilizer dart flew into her back. Scowling slightly, Sadie yanked it out, and turned around to face Chris and the others.

"Really? She scoffed, "that the best you can do?"

"Uhhh, anyone have a plan B?" Justin asked.

Sadie grinned, and began to lurch towards the four.

"i was hoping to save you guys for last," she smirked, "but, oh well. I promise I'll make this as slow as possible."

Sadie the rushing of footsteps behind her, and she turned to see the contestants rushing off into the wilds.

"Damn it!" She shouted, "When i find you I'll- HEY!"

Chris and the others had also fled into the woods, leaving a fuming Sadie behind. With a snarl, she charged after them.

~o.0.o~

Deep into the wilds, a group of campers were catching their breath.

"You think we lost her?" Harold asked.

"Probably not," Duncan said, "best to keep moving just in case."

"Are you sure it was best for everyone to split up?" Harold asked.

"Yeah," Duncan nodded, "she won't be able to find as many of us this way."

"I hope you're right," Harold frowned.

The two began to hear the trees around them start to rustle. The two slowly began to back away, fearful Sadie was nearby. A figure leapt out in front of them, and the two let out a frightened yell.

"Hiya guys!"

"Izzy?" Duncan exclaimed.

"The one and only!" Izzy smiled.

"What are you doing here?" Harold asked.

"Well, most of that's classified," Izzy laughed, "but the short version is that Sadie-"

"Is back on the island looking to kill most of us?" Duncan finished, "Yeah, we figure that out the hard way."

"Oh," Izzy frowned, "well, that certainly simplifies things! you guys know where she is?"

"No," Duncan said, shaking his head, "whatever happened to her made her incredibly strong. We had to get out of there, so we split up and rushed into the wilds."

"Yeah, she's strong, all right," Izzy muttered, "but that's okay, because i have this!"

With that, Izzy pulled out some sort of taser.

"Uh, is that-" Harold started.

"A taser?" Izzy asked, "Nope! It's something new that we're testing out! See, it launches a volt of energy that can cause the body to completely shut down and enter a state of paralysis. See, watch!"

With that, Izzy fired a blast at Harold, who immediately dropped to the ground.

"Oh, whoops," Izzy chuckled, "anyyyyyway, all I need to do is get close enough to her, and then shot her with this. Then I cuff her, and it's all good!"

"Um, is Harold going to be alright?"

"I dunno, maybe," Izzy shrugged, "now are we going after Sadie or not?"

"Yeah," Duncan smiled, "and I think I know just how we're going to do it."

~o.0.o~

Sadie was walking around the wilds, muttering to herself. She needed to find the contestants, and she needed to find them SOON. She hadn't come this far for nothing. Whatever doubts Sadie had immediately vanished, however, when she saw Harold leaning up against a tree a few yards away. She smiled to herself. Granted, Harold wasn't exactly at the TOP of her hit list, but he would do. Once she got closer, however, something seemed... Wrong. He didn't seem conscious.

"What..." She began, but was stopped when she felt a shockwave hit her full force. Sadie let out a growl, and slumped to the ground.

"We got her!" Izzy cheered.

Sadie growled again, and got to her feet, turning around to face a surprised Izzy.

"Or... maybe we didn't," Izzy frowned.

"You know," Sadie grinned, "I'm glad you're back. I was going to take care of you later, but you being here saves time."

"I'm not a member of the FIB for nothing," Izzy snapped, "bring it on, then!"

Sadie let out a roar, and charged at the redhead. Izzy turned, and delivered a spinning back kick, which only momentarily stunned Sadie. Izzy ran forward, but Sadie grabbed her and threw her into a group of trees. Sadie started toward Izzy, but in response the latter delivered a kick to stomach. Sadie keeled over, and Izzy delivered one more kick to the kneecap. Sadie's knee bent back, and a slight crack was heard. Sadie let out a yell of pain, and Izzy round house kicked her in the head. At last, Sadie fell to the ground, unconscious.

"You okay?" Duncan asked, rushing over to her. A few campers who had been nearby also gathered around.

"Yup! I guess you could say Sadie just got..." Izzy paused to put on sunglasses, "deep-spaced. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"

"That doesn't make sense," Courtney frowned.

"it does!" Izzy insisted, "Because she was in space, and I... Oh, nevermind."

~o.0.o~

It was a few hours later, and everyone was on the beach. A few men in black suits were questioning the competitors, and Izzy was smiling proudly.

"So," Chris asked, "what happened to Sadie?"

"Don't worry, we've got top people working on it." Izzy shrugged, "But you should be more worried about the contestants."

"Why?" Chris asked.

"Well, with everything they've seen, they'll probably be locked away and mind wiped so they can't spread what happened here," Izzy explained, "just standard protocol."

"Actually," Chris said, "I think I have a better idea. EVERYONE GET OVER HERE NOW'l

The contestants scurried over to Chris, who smiled.

"Well, congratulations," Chris said, "you finished your surprise challenge!"

"Surprise challenge?" Miri asked.

"Yup," Chris nodded, "and guess what? You all failed! Miserably, in fact! But, since I'm such a nice guy, there won't be any elimination tonight!"

"Nice guy?" Johnny demanded, "A lot of us got hurt during that challenge!"

"Yes," Chris smiled, "I know!"

The campers grumbled to themselves, and began to disperse and head back to the cabins.

"There. Good enough?" Chris asked.

"Good enough," Izzy smiled.
