Chapter 11: Mutant Warzone – Part 1

X-ISLAND

LIGHNING COLISEUM

The scene opens within the Lightning Coliseum, were many of the Total Drama contestants have gathered. Pretty much some of the rescued family and friend members were waiting by a different table, chatting away, but only some thought to listen in on what's about to go down. Namely some big news from Mr. X that may involve going after those still under Mal's captivity, or even more things about the Mike-Alikes and the Dark One's Army. Whatever it was about, many were uncertain how it would go down.

"So what do you think Mr. X wants this time?" Brody asked from not certain what they got called for.

"He did say to have everyone gather for an important announcement." Geoff scratched his chin from recalling how they were called.

"After just getting through what we went through, I'm hoping for more R&R?" Scott shrug off his shoulders, hoping to not undergo more of what the last adventure they experienced left them.

"But what about the other possible missing members of everyone's families?" Trent points out something of major concerns. "And don't forget, there are some folks that are our friends we know even before we got onto Total Drama." The guy was being firm on trying to keep everyone focus on the big picture.

"We may have rescued some of them, but not all of them." DJ stated from feeling a bit down when mentioning this. "Heck, I probably feel the same if I still didn't rescue my Mama?" The guy admits as his mother, now a cat rest on the giant tree creature.

"Right, Mal and his Dark One's Army may have them, the question is where to look?" Emma stated from being the serious voice to enforce this discussion.

"Right, who knows what's happen? They could have been turn into some kind of mutants and brainwashed to fight us?" Kitty exclaimed from her own thoughts but then stop to rethink her words. "Oops, sorry about that?" That might have sounded a bit inappropriate.

"Hey look!" Tyler called out from seeing something ahead.

That's when everyone saw the ground release steam before a secret elevator pops up. And from that spot, many could see from the open doors was a person. And that person turns out to be none other than…Mr. X himself.

"Hugh, that entrance was somewhat different from what we are use to?" Topper raised an eyebrow when they seen the Grand Host make his appearance more grand unlike now.

"Hey Mr. X, glad you're here. So what's the 411?" Chris approaches first with a sly grin and his usual charm. "You happen to learn where our friends, families, and assistants are? For me, where Chef is?" The skunk man may not have kept it down, he was concern of finding Chef the most.

"Before I begin to tell you, there is something you must be prepared to hear. For the moment has finally arrived that you learn what you are about to undergo." Mr. X exclaimed from wanting everyone to prepare themselves on what he has to say.

"Yes, yes, so we heard? Like anything else is new?" Jose rolled her eyes from not taking this sort of thing seriously.

"Yes, we have already had to deal with so many Mutant catastrophes on a daily note." Jacques remarked on how their lives are already struggling to such adjustments.

"You know, I think maybe we need some help? After all Mal did kidnap people, we need the police, the army, heck maybe the national guard?" Dwayne Sr. spoke up in deciding they need to take this case to those who are more train in such cases.

"Dad, come on, we been doing good and we're much better. We have powers." Junior tried to have his dad realize ordinary people can't do what they can do now.

"Yeah, yeah, and looks and what I can do." Staci cheered as the little bird girl kid was carrying a ball and kicked it.

While everyone dodged the reckless child's ball, it went to Mr. X and then….the ball knock the old guy's shades off the eyes. This caused everyone to gasp, because the whole time the Grand Host has been an illusion or a holographic image and never appeared in person. And the man had covered his eyes at this moment since he was without his sunglass shades.

"Oh, sorry about that Mr. X, here let me get those…" Zoey immediately responded to pick up the shades off the ground and present them. "Hugh, Mike?" She gasped upon what she saw instead.

"Yeah Zoey?" Mike replied when the girl called his name.

"No, it's Mr. X? Mike!?" Zoey shook her head to say this.

"What, is there something off about his face?" Heather rolled her eyes, like they care what an old person looks like.

"We never did see him without those shades on?" Alejandro scratch his chin to recall never seeing this man's entire facial hidden by a beard and sunglasses.

"Ugh, perhaps he has something that would ruin one's facial. Like a nasty scar or worse….worts. Ugh…" Justin cringed at any of those ideas, especially for handsome people that hate such things.

"No you guys look, his face…doesn't it look familiar?" Zoey stated on wanting everyone to pay close attention to Mr. X's face, as there's something about it they might know.

That's when everyone felt like this got them curious to know what's going on. And that's when Mr. X signs from know there was no turning back, as he slowly stood up and allowed many to see…his actual face. Many knew that Mr. X was old enough to be a senior citizen, and he had a grey beard and finally his eyes were…purplish!? While many were stump, Mike instantly gasped at realizing…

"You…you look just like…?" Mike tried to finish, but was cut off…

"Me?! Hmph…maybe it's the hidden part on what others see that defines….You?" Mr. X lightly shrug off with a chuckle on rephrasing a statement.

"Um, can someone explain what's going on?" Leshawna issue to cut in on the weirdness the discussion is taking. "Cause some of us wanna know what's what, you follow?" The girl sass off to have what's happening be answered.

"You guys, can't you see it…it's Mike." Zoey stated on everyone trying to follow along.

"What about Mike?" Lindsey raise an eyebrow, confused from this talk.

"No, it's Mr. X." Zoey shook her head to point at Mr. X again.

"Okay, now I'm not one to not enjoy a good random and pointless game in the name of fun, but I think we're all still lost here?" Izzy scratched her back head, still lost by the randomness that everyone was missing.

"Then allow me to speak with one answer…" Mr. X stated as he began to stand forth. "I am…Mike. The one everyone knows." He proclaimed this brief statement to the crowd.

That reaction caused everyone to nearly flip while only Zoey and Mike were less shock and surprised since they already experienced it. Cameron began to display an image of Mike that was before his mutation into a yellow skin fighter mutant, and at first there was no clear sign of similarity to what the Grand Host said. But then Cameron used his mech suit to began digitally advancing the image of Mike and then what seem like different people, began to resemble to a degree…that Mr. X was 100% a match of being Mike.

"No questions asked, it is Mike, just…older!?" Cameron stated on the shocking discovery that was made.

"I don't believe it, you're Mike?" Cody exclaimed from having a hard time trying to understand this. "How is that possible?" The blue variant dragon man asked to understand this mystery.

"Wait, could it be that this entire time…" Gwen suddenly came to realize a theory that they almost forgotten. "That you're a clone of Mike?" The goth girl brought up a very good piece of what can help them understand.

"Oh that's right, the Mike-Alikes!?" Katie smiled upon having forgotten such a thing.

"Yeah, but maybe an older one?" Sadie stated since the guy was much older then most Mike clones.

"Guys, I ran a scan of him, and there's a shocking discovery." Cameron spoke from having something to tell everyone. "It was a perfect match, but not by cloning material coding. Which means that…" Cameron states from displaying information revealing a shock about Mike and Mr. X by the unique DNA coding structure.

"I'm not a clone, I am the real Mike who partook in Total Drama." Mr. X revealed this piece of shocking news here.

"But-but, does that mean that I'm…." Mike was trying to hold his head, racking his brain on what makes sense.

"You are also the real Mike, we both are." Mr. X stated for Mike to not think he was a clone believing himself to be the real deal.

"But how can there be two Mikes that are both the same and not be clones?" Zoey asked from not sure how else to explain this entire situation they are in.

"Because truth be told, I'm the Mike everyone knows, but I came…" Mr. X spoke to have things be explain of who he says he is by one sentence. "From the Future."

That last part lifted everyone in a sudden silent stump. Many looked equally puzzled, confused, and lost, which is understandable. Because what they heard is something no one could believe exist outside of fiction. A being they know from a distant future…?

-HAROLD'S VIDEO-

"Time Travel…I knew about such things, but I never believed it became a reality?" Harold expressed his own thoughts on realizing that it's possible to go back in time.

---

-MAX'S VIDEO-

"This is a big discovery. HUGE even!" Max exclaim from having learn what was presented before him. "With such an ability, there can be unending evil matters one could perform." Max felt like this was perfect for one who is trying to be evil; but is not so good.

---

-LIGHTNING'S VIDEO-

"Yo, how come Mike is the guy that we get to meet from the future? What about Lightning's Future Self?" Lightning argued off that he wanted to at least meet himself. "I mean what could be better than Lightning hanging out with other fellow Lightning Men?" The guy was pretty much lost and clueless on how time travel works.

BACK WITH MR. X

"So then if you're Mike, why didn't you tell us?" Zoey approaches before she reach a hand out to Mr. X's cheek. "Oh sorry, that seems a bit…" She backed away, feeling awkward even though she knows Mr. X is Mike, but not the Mike she's with: ugh, time travel can be confusing.

"It's alright, and in truth…I had to not reveal until we were ready. So that this time, we won't lose anyone." Mr. X expressed before his hand slowly held Zoey's hand, as if having missed such a feeling. "You see, I came back from the future…to save everyone." He revealed a shocking truth on why he is here.

"Save us, from what?" Jasmine raise an eyebrow on what they heard,

"Zombie Apocalypse!?" Shawn asked from thinking that was it: though that's his zombie paranoid talking.

"From Mutant Annihilation and from those that brought about our destruction: Scarlet and Mal." Mr. X issue to reveal who causes the worlds destruction.

"Scarlet?! What could she have done to doom the planet?" Sugar raise an eyebrow, thinking that's hogwash talking.

"After Total Drama Season 6, Scarlet's evil nature began to blossom and when she controlled the artificial island, setup a virus that sends secret funds to her account. After she return home, she went into hiding and prepared an evil plot upon the world." Mr. X explain the issue of what Scarlet did after her participation in a new Total Drama season.

"What's that?" Ezekiel asked from not knowing what it might be.

"Isn't it obvious guys?" Sky spoke as everyone looked to what she had in mind. "Mutant Annihilation, it must have something to do with Mutation." She points out the only logical matter of the discussion.

"Ten years passed and everyone went about their daily lives without ever truly knowing what horrors awaited. Scarlet created dangerous Mutant life forms, and she also research to create humanoids by using the DNA of a unique being with an evil personality." Mr. X mentions these parts out of what happened that the dots were connecting.

"She wanted to create Mal and an evil clone army, just like now." Sierra gasped upon realizing how closely match future events are tying up now.

"When Scarlet began her conquest, the military around the world couldn't handle the stronger Mutant Beast, so the only thing that was done was to be on the defense and built means to win our war." Mr. X explains this important info of what events took place in the future. "Contestants from Total Drama were also included as soldiers fighting the battle. Having endured Chris' harsh challenge courses and obstacles." He mentions how the contestants from that reality TV Show got selected all thanks to the harsh matter of challengers no normal person could do.

All eyes fell upon Chris McLean who suddenly had a sheepish smile across his face. Now Chris has learn he was trying to cozy up to a future Mike who may have had a grudge from the past.

"Try as we could, the enemy had already gain powerful generals that entire armies were powerless. They were dubbed: The Dark Generals at that time." Mr. X sternly explain as vivid shadows reveal powerful figures underneath Mal and Scarlet. "Our secret weapons that pooled the planets budget of resources to making endless hours to combat them would be our last hope." He declared this as a means of their struggle against such forces.

"Secret weapons?" Samey asked sounding curious about that subject.

"What were they?" Amy asked off with interest to the matter.

"The Titans…" Mr. X muttered as shadowy images of four strange massively gigantic machine robots shaped as human or beastly types. "We planned to use them and it appeared we nearly succeed, until…" When he spoke with hope, he hesitated to finish the sentence.

"Until what?" Dawn asked off, sensing trouble in the man's voice.

"Scarlet created a new Mutant Power that even our four most powerful weapons weren't enough. It was called - The End. That alone cost one to give up their life to prevent our world dying. So instead, we fell to Plan B." Mr. X explained with a grim expression on his face. "We plan to go back in time with a recent Mutant Formula for Time Manipulation. To turn the tide was to go back at best 10 years, but the enemy got in the way." Then he turns away to briefly look at those here. "Evil was closing in, the time to act was now. I took the mutation, but it was faulty, only one living person could travel and I missed the target and end up in a far past." He expressed his disapproval on the matter that came as a result.

"Um, how far back did you go?" Courtney asked from not sure what mark the guy was aiming for.

"50 years." Mr. X issue that shock everyone to hear. "While I knew there were somethings I couldn't do to change the past, I used my future to earn my fortune. A little gift from my mutant power - Time Disbursal." The man reveals the power he wields which by the sounds of it, recalls certain things ahead of time. "Travel through time was a one course, but in its place I gain knowledge of gambling, races, lottery numbers, to help build the X-Foundation. And to prepare for the day…we can change the future." He revealed what would be a chance to change the terrible future outcome.

"Wow, heavy?" Brody exclaim on how that was just a real bummer.

"But if you knew the future, why didn't you stop Scarlet?" Duncan raise an eyebrow, suspicious about cutting the problem at the root.

"Wait, we're not thinking that maybe she should have been, you know…?" Beth gasped in shock, did Duncan mean that the only way was to end Scarlet.

"Her role was needed for Total Drama, so I did apprehend her after season 6…but time is a funny thing. Changing fate can result with it fighting back. As how it happen, even I'm not sure. Which is why I change my tactics to have you get stronger. So that there can be a tomorrow." Mr. X expressed his words on how he tried to handle things. "My future maybe bleak, and everyone I knew may no longer exist and even I have changed. I may not be the Mike you know, which is why I'm the Ex-Mike of my old former self, and I'm here as Mr. X of a new identity. So I ask you…" He then held out a hand while the other rest on his cane. "Will you work to save our world?"

That pretty much hit a home run for anyone that sat through to hear that entire explanation speech. And while many were uncertain about if the story was true or not, they know that if one's future was in danger…they rather live in one were they live.

-NOAH & OWEN'S VIDEO-

"Okay, so that was a lot to ingest." Noah exclaim from what they had just gone through that changed their view on life.

"Really Noah, I thought it was easy?" Owen raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised by what Noah said.

"Owen, do you even remember all that went on?" Noah raised an eyebrow in wondering if the big lug understands what's going on.

"Not much, but Mr. X wants us to help him save the world, so….shouldn't we help?" Owen scratch his head to simply state what seems to be the right thing.

"Well at least your hearts in the right place." Noah signs to shake the head, seeing Owen is gonna be taking part to, quote: save the world.

---

-DEVIN & SHELLIE'S VIDEO-

"Everyone helped save us, so now Mr. X ask us to help our world from being destroyed." Shellie stated on how they see this as a chance to repay a huge debt.

"The world can't be destroyed, Shellie and I are dating. We finally know we each have feelings for another." Devin expressed that he wants to continue living in the world where his love one is.

"Which is why we will help however we can." Shellie declared that they wanna help, they don't want the world destroyed.

"I just hope there's a plan to help us win?" Devin stated on knowing they need a way to defeat the enemy who are gonna be pretty strong.

---

-SAM & DAKOTA'S VIDEO-

"Thanks to Mr. X, we got an idea on how to perform our game strategy. There are seven evil generals, so we'll split into teams." Sam issue on how they get their game on to challenge the odds.

"Oh goodie, which ones are we together?" Dakota clapped with joy on wanting to be with Sam.

"Ahhh, gonna have to hold on that. Apparently us giant members may have to be backups if things go south." Sam scratch his back head, uncertain if the largest mutated members are gonna go forth.

"But there are 10 people that are giant, right?" Dakota raise an eyebrow to remember who are the big shots to depend on.

"Right, so we will hold the fort on X-Island. And form each person who seems the best choice for the different stages. If there's any lacking, maybe a giant might help but it depends if size helps in small or tight spots?" Sam stated on recalling the matter on using one's key figures that can best play to their strengths. "Oh man, I'm geeking out on the excited game theme we're gonna dish out." The guy could not hid that he was itching to see how this plays out.

SOMETIMES LATER

DARK KINGDOM - MILITARY BASE SECTOR 7

The scene opens to an area around the new continent far from X-Island that has become the prime land of Mal's evil organization. Now this place had a vibe like being in Las Vegas only the buildings were kinda abandon and certain areas had military structures for operations. Only the ocean connects to one part and a dry canyon near outside ports of the city. And to top it off, the whole place was inside a dome made to keep the different sections of environments apart. Now the camera zooms in around those walking through the military city site: Alejandro, Heather, Cameron, Duncan, Brick, and Jasmine (L).

"I know I'm new to things, but…Doesn't this feel a bit too much?" Jasmine (L) asked a strange question on the spot.

"You mean a dome big enough to cover a whole city along with outside natural areas, and split off more areas with places for forest, snow, and dry deserts?" Brick looked down to explain about how this military likes to train soldiers to handle all environments and seasons during such missions.

"Yeah, that sorta thing. Why even have all that instead of just one choice?" Jasmine (L) raised an eyebrow, a bit puzzled by such a sort of arrangements.

"I guess if you wanted to train military personal, you need to study any environment you may find yourselves in?" Alejandro shrug off from guessing that's how those that go to war win: by preparing soldiers for any harsh elements.

"Remind me again, why are we here?" Heather rolled her eyes to question their presence.

"What, you forget it's to save the world from Mal's army?" Alejandro raised an eyebrow that Heather forgot such an important issue.

"No I mean, why are we the only ones sent here specifically?" Heather points out that so far, their group is composed of robots, two undeads, and one that can change their appearance.

"Mr. X said that we had the best qualities to handle this military theme stage." Cameron theorized what they are capable of doing in this area.

"So your saying he must have gone through the data to select only us? Well Heather can morph, me and Alejandro can be good at night attacks, Cameron and Jasmine (L) can't be detected cause they're bots. And…" Duncan was on a roll before staring up at Brick. "Well let's just say if we need extra firepower, Brick seems to have it down." The guy compliments knowing it pays to have a giant military robot packing firepower.

"Well let's just be wary of who or what shows up? It could be either friend or enemy…" Brick issues forth on knowing they can't be sure what lies ahead. "But more likely, it's an enemy." The guy had to be ready for any signs of enemy approach.

"Shhh, keep it down, and also Brick, keep yourself down to the ground. We can't have anyone see you!" Alejandro hushed Brick and asked the giant bot to keep to the ground.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise of explosion and gun fire heard a distance away. The group was not certain what was going on, but they know a battle when they hear one, so they began to investigate. There were a bunch of strange troops wearing exoskeleton consisted of a set of advanced combat armor that seems equivalent of generic military fatigues as everyone was equipped with a suit of it. The color of the armor seems unique in separating those different from squads, and apparently those outfitted with a special model seems to illustrate their importance. The helmets were style like biker helmets with breathable mouth mask and sun protection visors. There were symbol markings with the letter 'M' on either helmet sides, chestplate, or arms that represents a logo of their faction. They carry the latest upgraded and enhanced weaponry that seems to fit their space theme: consisting of beam rifles, brute shots, plasma rifles fuel rog guns, plasma pistols, plasma grenades and plasma swords. They stopped briefly when reaching a blockade, but one of the troops that had a dark blue style theme and better model armor as if acting captain signal someone from behind. Then against the blockade, a bulldozer vehicle was piloted by one of their own to clear a path.

"MOVE!" The one with the darker blue commanded the others as they followed behind the bulldozer clearing the way for them to proceed.

"Yes sir, Captain Hound!" The troops replied while addressing the captain of their unit.

"Is that, are those more Mike-Alikes?" Heather raised an eyebrow in seeing more clones of Mike.

"Yeah, apparently they must be part of the residents we heard about." Cameron stated on having to guess what these guys are up too. "It appears they come across some form of military armor gear for protection against those that might be dangerous here." The guy speculated on what he was reading of those underneath those exoskeleton combat armors: they all were Mike's clones.

"Well what you expect, some of them must have decided to fight against Mal like the real Mike would." Duncan rolled his eyes on having to know what the obvious answer was.

"In what, space-theme suits?" Alejandro raised an eyebrow to remark how such armors felt like watching science fiction in real life. "And where in the world did they even get those weapons?" The guy asked from not imagining the good clones had a chance to obtain such things if Mal was harming them.

"Good question? Wish I knew the answer?" Cameron was just as curious as anyone on the subject.

Then loud blast sounds were heard as everyone noticed those Mike-Alike Troopers engaging against a small band of 6 Snatch Hunters. The troopers managed to use their numbers and concentration on sheer firepower to overpower the small foes. With both surprise and a large vehicle aiding them, the troops morale increased to continue forth.

"They're not Mutated, but they're about as good to fight against Rank D threats with that armor and gear. If they work well enough can overpower C-Rank enemies." Cameron explained from what his scans can determine how good these Mike Clones are. "There's something else, but I haven't determine what it is that these guys can perform physical feats like Svetlana's agility and Vito's strength?" The scans could only pick up so much from the clones in armor, like there's another source empowering them and weird thing is…it's not mutation?

"Looks like they're progressing through and encounter those Snatch Hunters to take them down hard and fast. We should join in and…" Brick was about to offer assistance to fight the good fight…

"Wait, something about this seems off?" Cameron cuts off from what his scans detected; a possible enemy movement.

"What do you mean off, they're winning?" Jasmine (L) pondered from not understanding Cameron's thoughts.

"Yeah you forget, with Mal…nothing is EVER suppose to be THAT easy?" Duncan remarked from knowing Mal, he doesn't show his hand until it suits him.

Just then, something caused the large bulldozer vehicle to stop in its tracks as if hitting a large object keeping its movement from going straight ahead. The rebel clones were concerned, and the leader known as Captain Hound commands the troops to carefully moved to inspect the cause.

"Hugh?" The one in the bulldozer yelped, cause he thought he heard…crying!?

"GRaaurrugh!?" By the time some troops came around the side, what they spotted was a shock from it's roaring sound. It resembles some kind of a mechanical armor of a robotic black wolf. Only it walked on it's front two claw nails while the heel toe was up, had a cable-like tail, and the head resemble more like a mouthless piece with a sphere that had a tiny red optic eye. Not to mention an attachment arm connecting to what resembles as a rail gun. The only outside difference was the rear legs back portion joint and inner front arms resemble something not metal, and the back portion seem like a suit with a helmet merge into the wolf machine.

"Quick! All M-Troopers, shoot it!" Captain Hound gave the order to the squad as they took aim.

"Murrah-Haarr-Harrrh!?" Suddenly, the robotic wolf was sounding like it was crying while the clones shot it; but the damage didn't look like it was working against its plating.

"Ahhh, forget this! I'm getting out of here!?" The bulldozer pilot yelped in a panicked, and immediately evacuated the vehicle being stopped by a machine wolf who appeared to make crying sounds.

"Don't just stare, keep shooting it!" The red mark captain issued the order to suppress this beast with more rounds but it was not giving in.

"It's no use Captain Hound? It's…it's the Beast!" One of the M-Troopers exclaimed with fear about who they have unfortunately run into.

"ARRRRRuuaaahhh!?/SLASH!" Then a loud raging voice was heard, something swooped down and slashed down some troopers. Then all eyes looked up at something that flew overhead that made squawk sounds of a bird, but resemble a person. A mechanical armor suit of long legs with open split points for robot talons. The chestplate has armor with a strap pack items for weapon reloads, and mechanical exoskeleton arms down to the gloves. Wears a pilot helmet with a mouth breather and a visor shielding the eyes. There's a jetpack constructed with the large mechanical wings with sharp slider blades and attach missiles. Carries what appears to be a Milkor MGL-140 Grenade Launcher.

"Rage…" Then a female voice was heard from the flying enemy. "Rage!" She called out again, as if sounding angry while coming around. "GRAAARRRRGH!" Then she zipped pass the M-Troopers while slashing nearby poles to fall around them.

"AWWROooooooo!" Then the mechanical wolf lets off a cry to drop the bulldozer and turn it's attention towards the M-Troopers trying to shoot it down with little effect.

"AAahhhh….there's two of them!? How can we win!?" One of the M-Troopers panicked to run further away from the mechanical wolf near a corner.

"Gahahahah-Hahahahh…." But behind that trooper, something was making an evil laugh while it was camouflage and began to become exposed. This one wears some kind of stealth suit mimicking color and texture of the background. Wears a helmet which had attached four long tentacle-like mechanical appendages. Each had three structures at its end that together made a three-pronged pincer, allowing one to pink up and manipulate objects with each tentacle. Wields what seems to be an FN P90 Personal Defense Weapon.

"Ahhhhh!? Another one!" A nearby M-Trooper panicked to point at another foe as it's robot tentacles moved in.

"UUuuaaggh!?" The poor trooper screamed, before he was getting wrapped up by the robot tentacles.

"Gahahaha….Laugh with me!" The octopus enemy exclaimed while laughing as she tighten her squeeze. "Hahahahahh…." She continued to squeeze her prey so much until…

The trooper's armor was cracked and liquid fiulds spit out between the tentacle cracks. When the enemy was done, she let go of the prey as the M-Trooper fell to the ground lifeless before the others.

"Ahhhh…aahhh!?" Captain Hound yelps with a panicked tone, one of his troops was finished off and without mercy. "These Beast are above C-Ranks, we're not ready to fight against them. We need stronger backup!" The captain issued from knowing they can't win this, and prepared to reach their com-devices as the others tried to distract the enemies. "Guuuagh….Wha's…Happening!? Ahhhh….I….can't move….bod won't…listen?" The captain was under a strange effect of a soundless eerie screech affecting his mind and making his body move against his will.

"AAhhhhh!?" Then without warning, the attacking M-Troopers were shot in the back…by their own CAPTAIN!?

"Uuuugh…it's not…me…help…?!" Captain Hound yelps out as he struggled but nothing was working.

That's when Captain Hound was levitated off the ground, as he was helpless like something was manipulating him. Then his body began to move but was being pulled into a press position.

"GRAAARRRUGH!?" Then without warning Captain Hound screamed when something pressed his back backwards and yank his arms that completely overdid it. Now the lifeless captain was left as a ragdoll, and strangely there were…strings attach to him. Almost like he was a puppet on strings, but who was the puppeteer? Then the strings were let go as the decease captain fell to the ground.

Then all eyes saw who done the deed on top of a tall building. This one seem to wear a suit with a mechanical components for armor. Such around the longer then average legs down to robot feet, a strap pack carrying arsenal supplies, mechanical protection arms to the wrist gauntlets with contractible blades. A helmet mask with six red glowing eye marks. There was even something on the shoulder pads: which holds three each mechanical human-like synthetic arms with four holding crescent blades and the other two holding strings attach to two dolls.

"Muurraagh!?" Meanwhile the octopus tentacle enemy whacked the few remaining M-Troopers aside. "RAArrrrgh!?/STAB!" Then in a shocking twist, launch a metal tentacle forth that pierced a trooper.

"Grraugh-Aauurgh...Aarrh!?" The M-Trooper groans as it was trying to endure the pain.

"Hahahahaaahhh…" The strange robot tentacle lady laughs at the pain of her prey before flinging him down.

"Gaaurgh…oouugh!?" The last M-Trooper moans from hitting the ground, struggles before losing the strength to move.

"UUurraagh!" Above, the strange metallic bird person was flying overhead of the area; the runaway M-Troopers tried to escape. "MUuraawwwhhh!" But then the metallic winged being fired missiles directed towards second bridge column. "BOOM!" The missiles blew up the bridge pillar connected two buildings just as the fleeing troops ran under it.

"GYYAARrrrh!?" One or two M-Troopers screamed from being buried under the debris while only the fewest escape.

"Show me your rage!" The winged being spoke with a mix female and robotic voice, demanding to see the rage of those that are helpless.

"Uuurrrhmmm…" Then the robotic wolf was seen rushing pass an opening by the bulldozer while letting loose her moaning cries.

"Guuugh-Gaaaaaagh!?" The other M-Troopers tried to attack but the metallic wolf rush tackle them like they were bowling pins.

"Gurgurguraarrghhh!?" The robot wolf made a sharp U-turn on some building walls to turn around.

"GAAAAwwwhhh!?" The other troopers that didn't get hit were now ram tackled by the robot wolf.

"MURRh-HUURRGH!?/BASH!" The metallic wolf cries as it bashed against the bulldozer. "CRASH!" That force impact was enough to knock the bulldozer on it's side while it suffered damage on the surface and it's trend-mills from such destructive action.

Now the metallic wolf was standing by to cry while before the eight arm being. An unknown silent pitch scream was heard as if this individual was communicating. And with a wave of her arm, the metal winged armor unit cease pinning it's prey to stand up.

"AROOOOWwwwwwhhhh!" The metallic wolf stomps it's feet and let loose a robotic wolf's howl that shook the area.

"GAaah-Hahahahaahh…." Then the laughing enemy with metal tentacles drop it's arms when the leader seem to command it.

"Rage!" The metal winged trooper roared forth as it took flight now. "Rage!" It called out while flying pass the eight arm armor individual.

"Gurgurhumm…" The crying wolf was seen running in the same direction building.

"Hahahahahahhh…" The laughing armor foe used it's metal tentacles to move about. "Isn't it funny?" She issued from having thought there was something to laugh about while going into an alleyway.

Wasn't long before the eight arm individual did something strange, she did a bow for a performance that happen: as if knowing there were those having watch the whole thing in action. And then hovers down behind the building, making an exit out of the field to vanish. When it was over, the Total Drama members that watch in hiding, slowly approach to find the M-Troopers scattered around in such a horrible scene. Cameron scan their life signs but shook the head: there was none left alive.

HEATHER'S VIDEO

"BLUUARRRRRRGH!?" Heather was seen puking into a bucket she pulled from nearby. "That…was the most….disturbing thing…I ever seen!?" After she was done, admits what she saw was a terrible and sickening sight. "GUurgh!? And it's more sickening then when Chris feed us disgusting food that made us throw up!" She nearly lost it before mentioning when she experienced losing her meal due to a Total Drama challenge. "BUUuuargh!?" Then she couldn't hold it and puked again in the bucket. "First it was on Total Drama Island, then again on Action, but this third one…Huuummmhh!?" The more she talks about it, the more she recalled what was disgusting to what was more disturbing to the human stomach to cover her mouth. "BLAAAARRRUUUURRRGH!?" And then she puked a big one right into the second bucket she had nearby.

ALEJANDRO'S VIDEO

"Oooohhhmmm?" Alejandro threw up into a pale bucket, then set it aside to fix himself up. "Sorry, normally I don't have a weak stomach, not since that disgusting meal from Season Three? But as terrible as people make me out to be, what I saw…Hmmmm?" The guy tries to explain himself about his old history of what made him sick to the stomach, and stop from hurling. "That was no mere game of survival, that was…" The guy clutch his stomach, as if trying to control from really losing it. "Oohhm….something inhuman even I find remotely repulsive to believe anyone could do that unless they were born without a heart?" The guy finished his sentence while being truthful: hey, even someone like Alejandro who's done treacherous stuff to win never cross THAT line.

DUNCAN'S VIDEO

"I'll be honest, when Chris had us doing that war challenge in Season 2, what we end up having fought over was just meaningless and pointless." Duncan explained what he recalls during the reality TV show days. "But from what we just witness, thinking back now I realize that Chris' War challenge was more like a Baby's Game when compared to that onslaught. Heck, the places I been locked up in seem peaceful then what just happen." Duncan admits that he rather go back and do such challenges or deal with prison life school or real ones that were less likely involving such dangers like what he saw.

BRICK'S VIDEO

"I was training to become a soldier. Knowing that there are battles fought in war. I fought a war on Total Drama, even though I lost, I gain something in return." Brick stated on admitting the truthful fact which involved a battle but more like a battlefield on reality shows. "But the war that's happening, it's no joke. I was blind to not realize that sometimes in war, your troops get hurt, and sometimes the harshest reality is…" The guy pauses a moment before giving a straight answer out. "Not every soldier makes it out alive or gets to see their home again, even worse…their loved ones." That's the truth, it's hard to argue that even if training to be a soldier but when you go into war…it's not all it's gleam up to be.

PRESENT MOMENT

The scene focuses on the group struggling to maintain themselves around the horrors. But then a strange burp belch is heard which alerts the gang that someone was nearby. Fearing it's another enemy or one of those four destructive armor creatures, they destroyed a garage port. When the doors fell, something was seen from behind the smoke. But what was found was some kind of eight-wheeled, all-wheel-drive, armored combat vehicle

was designed for rapid deployment into virtually any combat zone; it is equipped with various features such as a modular engine design for easier maintenance, periscopes that allow the driver and gunner to see outside without having to expose themselves, and adjustable tires for various rough terrain.

"Holy cow! That looks like it's based on a Canadian LAV III light-armored vehicle, but seems based on the Swiss MOWAG Piranha III 8x8? I think this model is called the IAV Stryker." Brick seem very excited on seeing such a model vehicle from his giant height; and the others looked to him from freaking out over something that excited him. "What, during my times training to be a soldier, I read up on a lot of military subjects. To pass the time from being a soldier…and secretly wanting to be a dancer?" The guy scratch his back head to admit this matter of how he knows such things during his past time.

"Pretty sweet, hugh?" A male voice was heard from someone talking in a smooth ascent.

"Hugh!? Who said that?" Alejandro yelped to aim his weapons at anything that might be another enemy.

"Woah hold it, watch where you all are pointing that thing." The same voice was heard and it came from behind the

The gang was on high alert, but something was coming out while waving around a white handkerchief as a sign of peace and with a hands up. Or rather, four hands!? The individual in person was a rather strange one who was about 10-12 feet tall, appeared like some kind of Yeti with four-arms? The skin was tan blue with white fur on the hair, elbow-wrist, from waist to ankles acting like pants. The hair was comb and had a short beard, yellow color eyes, and had sharp triangle teeth. Wears an armor wardrobe of black ankle pads, waist guard, wristbands connected to armor protected gloves, and wore a chestplate with blue crystal spikes as shoulder pads. The other interesting piece was a dark overcoat big enough for a muscular yeti humanoid to have conceal weaponry.

"Who are you?" Duncan asked surprise to see this stranger appear.

"Rather, what are you?" Heather raised an eyebrow, uncertain if they can trust this yeti guy.

"Neither enemy, nor friend." The mystery mutant ape issued to approach; then from the handkerchief was…a grenade!? "Voila." He presented a little something to amaze the crowd.

"Wow, that's a neat trick." Jasmine (L) was amazed that though this guy has four arms, he seems pretty good at magic tricks for shows. "So wait, you're not with the Dark One's Army? Then are you perhaps a Mike-Alike?" She asked from thinking maybe this guy was a good clone version of Mike.

"Except he said he's neither friend nor foe. So who are you, really?" Cameron pondered to ask the big question that puzzled them.

"That's easy, I'm a weapons wholesaler – all shapes, all sizes." The four-arm yeti man stated on what he does for business. "But there's no need to worry, 'cause all my junk's been laundered." He describes his procession as something in that category.

"I'm sorry, Laundered?" Alejandro raised an eyebrow from having heard such a word.

"Heh?" The mutant yeti laughs as he covered the grenade in the handkerchief and wave a little bit: then as if by magic made an apple appear. "You see, I take normal ID weapons like the ones used by the M-Troopers use and make some mods." As he spoke, he toss an apple off for Heather to catch during his explanation. "Then you can use 'em without having to match IDs." He explained the trick he does to make one person's weapon work for another.

"ID Weapons, I heard of them. They're a new military grade that won't fire unless it's wielded by the owner." Brick expressed from his time training as a soldier to recall such new military weapons.

"So it's like a new security measure for only authorized personal in buildings, only instead…for weapons." Cameron analyzed such matters that could really be tricky of taking weapons that would be useless if they won't fire for just anyone. "So in other words, you're…"

"In other words, I'm a gun launderer. You can call me Drebin." The yeti mutant revealed his name at last to the group.

"Drebin?" Duncan raised an eyebrow, surprised to hear such a strange name.

"Yeah, I'm like what you call a Mike persona where all of us deal in sales trade." Drebin issued to say about his profession in the business ties of life.

"Wait, there are more of you? Other Mike-Alikes that are selling things?" Cameron asked from thinking if that's true; but also wondered if they were anything like Drebin here.

"All over the island and in different sections. Not that I ever met any of 'em personally." Drebin waved off his arms to express that he and others in the same field are all over. "Me, I'm just Drebin 'The Gun Launder', at your service." After that introduction, took out the hanky to place it on his person. "Now seeing you're reaction, you ain't one of those residents sign up with the M-Troopers, are ya?" He asked from noticing something different about this mutated group.

"How can you tell?" Duncan raised an eyebrow to ponder how this guy even knew they aren't

"You each gotten yourselves mutated with the ooze. The Mutagen is top of the line stuff around here. Young Greenhorns wouldn't come across it without buckets of cash or a lot of luck." Drebin explained how things go down in this line of business.

"So then you deal with weaponry and Mutagen Cell Capsule products?" Alejandro asked where Drebin is going with the conversation.

"The very same, but not everyone is lucky to get something as top dollar, most of the ones at cheaper prices are not all that good." Drebin shrug off to admit that the best stuff is already taken and all that remains are scraps. "Some members you got look capable, but even so…some need some armaments in the field of battle." He looks to study from Brick's empowering giant and weaponry size to those fully arm to keep themselves well defended.

"But the only one that doesn't have much would be Heather? She can shapeshift but that's about it." Jasmine (L) looked to see that Heather wasn't well armored up or packing weapons to keep things going.

"Ugh, thanks for the support. I was still thinking about keeping my human side, alright." Heather rolled her eyes from having heard this; so she was selfish about why she went with this mutant power if the first place.

"In that case, you need a guy like me." Drebin issued to say while he reach to pull something from his overcoat with all four hands. "Consider this a welcome gift." Then he hands something to Heather: Plasma Rifles, Plasma Grenades, Plasma Pistols, and even a Plasma Blade. "Take it." He waved out the four weapons for the girl to accept his gifts.

"Hmmm?" Heather was a bit skeptic, but knew that her mutant powers could only go so far and her best trick: is being armed. "Alright, I'm in need of new gear anyway, is this the latest?" She accepts while placing the weapons on her person.

"Oh course, these Plasma weapons are a lot stronger then normal military grade stuff used by the US army..." Drebin explains the basic function of these more advance weapon types. "These things were developed from the big eggheads on this mutant island. These things are top-of-the-line models. They're real popular with the M-Troopers." He explained how useful these things are and what they bring to the table.

"You mean those other clones, you sold them these weapons?" Jasmine (L) asked from recalling who else had such weapons.

"Yep, the range types have high precision, not like that government-issue junk. They're free-floating, of course." Drebin states the perfect function of weapons that have good range attacks.

"Funny, those troopers didn't seem to last long even with these?" Duncan raised an eyebrow from recalling the M-Troopers were wiped out even if they had such weapons.

"Hey relax, these are clean. In fact, I'm glad you mentioned it." Drebin held up his hands to calm those for thinking there's an underhanded act. "The beauty of these suckers is that it's got a lot of customizable parts. Change them up the way you want to meet your everyday needs." He explained the basic functions and that these weapons can get customized to suit one's preference.

"Hmmm…looks like compared to what those troopers used, these apparently are the latest models. They've been upgraded to even compete against B-Rank threats." Cameron ran a scan on the weapons to determine their functionality was up to code. They apparently can be good against B-Rank Mutant Beast threats if one didn't have mutant powers.

"Yeah, well, you know, I get a lot of newbs' round here." Drebin crossed his arms to admit that some customers are not experienced veterans and are just rookies. "And if you need 'em, I got a wide selection of after-marked parts as well. You could say, they can compete with A-Rank threats real nicely." When he mention a sweeter deal, it was hard to pass it off. "Go ahead miss, give them a good try." He asked Heather to try out his little gifts.

Heather decided that try the Plasma Rifle, but the moment she took aim at the wall and click the trigger: nothing. She tried pulling the trigger but still nothing happened.

"Hey, how come I can't pull the trigger?" Heather protest that the rifle she tried to fire didn't become active.

"Really? That's weird." Drebin held his chin, finding this a bit odd.

"What's weird?" Heather demanded an answer for this.

"Wait, I got it. I bet you're using an older generation of mutated ooze." Drebin issued from figuring out what's wrong by the source of the matter.

"Older generation? The one I have is High Class and it's a Rare type!?" Heather argues from what she was hearing; what was Drebin talking about.

"Yeah, well sometimes they don't really jibe with the new system setup by the X-Cooperation. In short, the stronger the weapon too dangerous for normal humans, needs a body strong enough to handle them. You follow me?" Drebin states on knowing how there's actually a limit to those that either can or can't handle using something so powerful.

"Oh, so it's likely that if our mutated bodies were strong enough, they can endure weapons you have that can face down B and A Rank threats?" Cameron

"Nice of you to catch on quickly. I say most of you are about near average B and C Ranks." Drebin issued from studying the group here and determining how strong they likely are.

"Seriously, who are you?" Alejandro raised an eyebrow with suspicion: it's like Drebin's got a sixth sense to know which of them are stronger then the rest.

"Whao…Slow down." Drebin stopped those asking questions; then approach an ice bucket to pull out a soda can to pop it and drink it. "BURP!" He let loose a loud belch from drinking down that whole can so fast. "See, my day job's working at places connected to X-Cooperation, like Arms Tech Security. I'm in charge of production control…" He brings forth a topic on where he has his connections. "So I get my hands on the ID Chips before they're even registered." This topic brings to code of Drebin having his way around the next latest stuff and can do a little work before selling them off. "Have a sip." He offered anyone a drink of his soda can.

"Ugh, thanks…but no thanks?" Heather exclaimed to turn down the offer of a used drink.

"Yeah, you drank it so…not happening." Alejandro stated on not wanting to drink a beverage soda from a yeti's mouth.

"Alright then, So anyway, it's a side of Arms Tech that public folks don't see." Drebin shrug off the shoulders before continuing to chat. "From the looks of it, you ain't with any state army that picked up the M-Troopers SOS." He states on narrowing down who these folks are. "But you folks ain't exactly green, neither. You've got possibly last-gen Mutation ooze. So I'm guessing…" The guy was slowly looking over each member before revealing the truth. "Mr. X's gathered participates from Total Drama, the reality TV series?"

That made some slightly yelp and be on guard, they never revealed their identities. But now someone has fully reveal who they are, and somehow Drebin seems suspicious even as a clone of Mike and judge of character at the moment.

"I don't know what you're here for. But you'll wanna be well-equipped, am I right?" Drebin issued to admit that it's best to be fully ready where they are standing. "So? Can we talk business or what?...You won't regret it." The guy offered them a chance to conduct a business action with those present.

The group felt like uncertain, sure this guy was a clone of Mike but not like many others seen thus far. There needed to be some serious concerns if they wanna jump in or not.

"What's your take on him guys?" Jasmine (L) asked how the others felt about teaming up with someone who can supply them weapons.

"The guy might be Mike with a different personality compared to others, in fact he reminds me more of Heather and Alejandro. No offense." Duncan remarked off to say while stating this to Heather and Alejandro in their present company. "But it looks like we'll need help in getting more advance weapons using those so-called ID functions." The guy admits that they hit a wall and need a way to get pass it.

"If he's selling weapons to those in and outside Mr. X's own islands, how does he pull it off, anyway?" Heather questioned how Drebin was capable of such a thing.

"He must be able to create a non-ID weapon by replacing the ID recognition chip with a counterfeit version. This enables one to bypass the ID recognition process and use the weapon." Cameron used his system to figure out the logical method this guy could do. "But the problem is that there's still a record of the chip being replaced on this so-called system side."

"And if Drebin is an employee at Arms Tech Security which has connected to the X-Cooperation. He must have connections on the inside erasing records for him." Duncan stated on knowing how a criminal mind works: Duncan's gotta admit, coming from a family of policemen has it's perks on knowing such sneaky crime-free act.

"You think maybe the Dark One's Army is involved somehow?" Brick ponders about where Drebin's loyalty lies.

"Nah, if Mal's army was running such a system from behind the scenes, then a weasel persona like Drebin would be a real pain in their business." Duncan brushed off from knowing one crook to another, that isn't how crime business is done.

"Can he be trusted? He maybe a Mike-Alike, but he has that sneaky stuff that's more close to Mal's type?" Heather remarked from feeling like Drebin is very much suspicious.

"Remember guys, Drebin's a green collar. He makes his living off the war economy." Cameron points this out to everyone to focus on the character and what drives him. "He doesn't let emotions get in the way of business, and he never gets his own hands dirty. The only thing he trust is money and credits." He makes a final claim that guys like Drebin don't trust anyone in such a business; and only believes the real deal of payment.

"Heh, welcome to the world where money talks." Duncan scruffs off to make a light joke around such an obvious subject.

"I think we all share concerns, but what if we keep him at arm's length?" Brick suggest how they deal with Drebin to their benefit. "Use Drebin only to get intel and supplies we need? Keep it strictly business." He suggest how they play it safe.

"All right, sounds like that's the best we can do." Jasmine (L) replied from thinking they are in an agreement: then everyone turns to look at Drebin.

"So…We ready to make a deal, or what?" Drebin shrug off the arms from anticipating what comes next. "Okay then. Let's talk business." He issued from having the crowd follow along. "This is a war zone. There's product coming in here by the truckload." The gang couldn't argue about it, after what they witness there is a war going on. "And you'll be picking up a lot of weapons out in the field, I'm sure." Drebin crossed his arms when mentioning another interesting fact.

"You mean the ones used by those M-Troopers, or those by the Dark One's Army?" Brick asked of which weapons they get along the way.

"Both, a weapon is a weapon." Drebin simply stated on making the choice easier to follow. "Whatever weapons you don't need, I'll take and buy 'em off ya." He humbly stated to point at himself to offer his services. "That'll earn you points you can cash in for services." He waved the hands out to state what this group can get in return for giving him weapons they don't need.

"Like what?" Jasmine (L) raised an eyebrow, finding this somewhat suspicious.

"I'll launder your ID weapons – no more locks. Especially if you're gonna become stronger." Drebin gave an offer which sounds too good to be true. "And I can also sell you the weapons I've got in stock…Let me show you…" He points to his vehicle on wanting to show his merchandise off.

Drebin walks over to his Stryker before waving the gang to follow him inside. Course Brick was a giant robot, so he had to kneel down to look inside the vehicle as the rest went in. The Stryker had the accommodations for living along with some tech devices, a wall of photos, and ahead was the driver seat and passenger seat. But the stuff inside had enough room for six or so folks to find seats. And there were a row of weapons, many products of the X-Foundation symbol and many were more advance then the usual bunch. There were even case containers of Mutagen Cell Capsules, each label from rank and value, and much more. Also, a nice Soda Machine was in the corner, for those thirsty.

"Woah, you got a lot of stuff here that's pretty advance stuff?" Brick exclaimed from seeing what Drebin was carrying: he's seen military gear and this stuff looked way more advanced.

"And you even got Mutagen Cell Capsules?" Alejandro stated on the capsule cell cases placed in cases, ready to be delivered.

"These look like stuff that could almost help adapt and evolve us into stronger mutants?" Cameron scanned the capsules to determine how much value the Mutagen Cell Capsules here are truly worth that may help them in the long run.

"Comes with the trade, if you can afford it, then you can buy it." Drebin stated on having let it be know it's just business.

"Okay, so you said you can help us get stronger? How's about helping me to use weapons my current abilities can't deal with?" Heather demands to know if Drebin can help them use weapons used by those all over.

"No problem. To ensure you can use non-ID weapons, I'm gonna have to inject some of you folks with some nanomachines to help your status." Drebin points out the steps needed to help those continue to survive. "Otherwise, they'll interfere with the system of who's really working what weapon." He explains the crucial matter of folioing a system of who's really using who's weapon. "Here little miss. Stick yourself with this. It's full of Mutagen Ooze Adapt nanomachines." He pulls out a strange black theme capsule and offers it to Heather.

"Adapt, what sort of adapting we talking about?" Duncan raised an eyebrow, not sure if this will be legit or not.

"Your friend's mutation maybe High Class and a Rare Rank, but it can evolve with a little help." Drebin stated before he was about to inject the thing: until Heather stopped him. "Relax, it won't hurt." Drebin issued to calm a cautious Heather on guard. "You scared of needles or something?" He asked with a sly smile on thinking what's got Heather on such high alert.

"Hmmm? Fine….get on with it." Heather signs to give in when she needs the help.

"You sure Heather?" Alejandro asked from not sure if they should trust Drebin to the fullest.

"If it works for me, then maybe it'll work for any of you as well." Heather stated on wanting to at least not be a liability because she pick a power to change form. "JAB!/OW!?" Heather yelped as Drebin injects the capsule's needle into her arm. "Urgh…this brings back painful memories of being injected the first time?" Heather groans as she reacted when Drebin removed the capsule when the liquid contents were emptied out.

"See? No sweat." Drebin issued to calm the crowd down from seeing Heather's reaction. "Now you can use non-ID weapons, no problem." He issued from standing up to walk pass the group. "Step outside." He signal for everyone to come outside at this time.

The others were a bit puzzled if that treatment would really help Heather out or not but decided to go out and see for themselves. Heather decided to use the Plasma Rifle to test if this time it would work. Then an energy shot was fired which burn a portion of the wall.

"There, ya see? No problem." Drebin exclaimed from seeing that his product goods were the real deal; now those that need armaments and weapon gear are set. "From now on, when you pick up an ID weapon that says 'LOCKED'…You just let me know." He issued from having the tools needed to deal with unlocking weapons full function. "You name it, I can launder it. Of course, it'll cost you." He issued from doing the business act on needing payment to perform the task. "The going rate depends on the war price at the time."

"In short, the more active the battle, the higher weapons go for. I can see how that system works." Duncan stated on knowing how crooked business works in such developments.

"So if any of us needed what you gave Heather…?" Jasmine (L) asked on trying to understand what Drebin is saying.

"Yeah, you see the results, and who knows…might just help you get stronger too." Drebin shrug off to admit this fact to the gang.

After that, Drebin took another soda can and drank it for a bit. The guy lets off a belching burp from the stuff tickling him from bubbles in the stomach.

"Man, I gotta give this stuff a rest." Drebin exclaimed from having drank too much of the stuff.

"Funny, looks like you're doing pretty well for yourself." Brick stated from noticing how well Drebin is even after having a few sodas.

"You might say that…What with the war economy and all…" Drebin issued to say while dropping an empty can into his ice bucket case. "And the system clamping down on things." He stated on how there's a system which keeps things in check.

"You been saying the system is connected, but does that mean that Mal's army is using the same network as the X-Foundation, or the other way around?"

"Who can say? Well system codes are the law now…" Drebin issued off to state that with an electrical system in play, everyone's gotta play by the rules. "And control's essentially absolute…Paving the way for fat profits, if…You're willing to bend the law." He issued to say this with a sly smile on knowing how to handle such a system setup.

The more the gang hear, the more it sounds like whatever system is in play, if there was someone in control…who knows what could happen. Different armies may use the system to help them in battles, but somehow there is a limit of what is good can go bad real fast.

"Demand keeps on growing thanks to the war economy. I sell ID weapons to the M-Troopers and state armies outside this X-Foundation…" Drebin explains how he makes a living so long as war keeps going on. "And naked guns to terrorist groups like the Dark One's Army." The gang heard that part, which means that Drebin is doing his job while remaining neutral. "And these ID weapons can't be sold on the black market." He issued to say while picking up his bucket of ice cubes and his used soda can in it.

"System's practically a license for us arms dealers to print money." Drebin explains how things work with a system running the show for war economy things. "Privatizing the military's made the ones out there looking for war with their ready soldiers big and bloated. And the fatter those high officials get, the line between civilian and soldier is gonna get real blurry." He puts away the ice bucket in his vehicle while explaining the end results: in short, those that got the money can make anyone a soldier to make more profits.

"No way? Is that for real?" Brick exclaimed from thinking that's insane.

"Cameron?" Jasmine (L) looked to the smart guy for answers.

"I'm afraid what he says does hold truth." Cameron shook his head to confirm, Drebin was not lying.

"Facts are facts. Sooner or later, the whole damn human race is gonna be green collars." Drebin sadly regrets to inform everyone of what they are looking at if things go on. "More like, we're all gonna be fighting proxy wars. And it all starts right here, thanks to Mal starting a war to spread from here to the whole world." The guy reveals how much things are gonna go down hill if things remain unchanged. "But hey…This war economy puts the food on my table." He turns to smile and admit that he needs the business, and that's no lie. "You folks are green collars too, aren't ya?" He looked to the gang and asked them this question.

"Green collar?" Jasmine (L) raised an eyebrow from not knowing the phrase of that word.

"To my knowledge, it's a phrase meaning those that are soldiers of battles." Brick stated on having the idea of what green collars stands for.

"Yeah, it's in your eyes. You've each seen a lot of combat." Drebin exclaimed to point at the group, knowing those that are not newbies but veterans against battles.

"Truthfully, facing Total Drama challenges have been a struggle. But currently, they were childs' play." Heather stated on knowing that they have been dealt with a bigger problem then usual.

"What makes you think you know us?" Alejandro raised an eyebrow to question Drebin's manner of knowing their character.

"Nothing to be ashamed of. I'm the same way." Drebin pats Alejandro's shoulders to admit a shocking surprise. "Since being cloned, I grew up here too. That is, in the short time before discovering myself. And discovered my skills that makes me different from other Mike-Alikes." He points to where they are, stating these intriguing facts. "I got no interest in the outside world." He turns around to admit that whatever happens outside, is none of his concerns.

"Even if that means Mal tries to unleash his Mutant Army and who knows what else on people unprepared?" Duncan exclaimed on knowing the danger that could rise.

"All right, then. If you need me, holler." Drebin clapped his hands and gave thumbs up to the crew. "I'll add you to my channel if you need anything, the drones can deliver the same as those X-Foundation bots. We specialize in speedy service. Catch my drift?" He issued from making a sale's pitch to have the gang buy his merchandise while getting inside his Stryker.

The gang were racketing their brains, and many began to realize that Drebin does make a clear point. While the Total Drama Contestants may have fooled around taking on challenges to win a million dollars, fact remains that to win the war against the Dark One's Army…they gotta fight for survival. And right now they need to acquire any advantage of extra weapons to use or sell off to buy better stuff from Drebin. But before anyone could do anything, a loud engine sound was heard overhead.

"Hey, big tin…better position yourself like a dead mech over us before we get noticed." Drebin instructs Brick on what to do if they wanna get through.

"Um, okay?" Brick replied to just position himself as such over everyone.

"Mind explaining?" Heather narrow her eyes at what Drebin was up to.

"Shhh…" Drebin hushed the group and for good reason: the metallic bird person was flying overhead shouting 'rage' at this time. "Figures…The B&Bs are on the move…Things are about to get hairy." The guy stated on knowing who was becoming active and that could lead to trouble.

"B&Bs?" Jasmine (L) looked to Drebin puzzled, who was he talking about.

"Never heard of them?" Drebin looked to the crowd who shook their heads 'yes' in the response. "They're Beauty and the Beast. Together they're called the B&B Corps." He looked back up to describe who B&B are while watching one of them slowly fly overhead. "They're squad of enhanced female mutant soldiers – belong to the Dark One's Army." As he said this, the flier was soon out of range. "Any time there's a mess that needs cleaning up, they're on the scene leading the elites." He explained all the intel there is about who the B&B are meant to be.

"Hold on, you're saying that one up there's a female?" Duncan turns to question Drebin about knowing the one before was a female and not a male.

"Probably one of the captured souls Mal's side took from that cruise ship that happen sometime ago." Drebin brought up something that caught the Total Drama groups attention. "Together they and another unit called Winds Of Destruction are like the main power here in Military Base Sector 7 of the Dark Kingdom." Drebin reveals the shocking tale of those that are the biggest threats around their designated location.

"Wait, so beside Snatch Hunters, this Dark General has his own elite squad members?" Brick asked from not liking the sounds of that.

"Considering the Snatch Hunters are just mindless minions, it makes sense if there are others like Saturas and Dr. Krankcase?" Cameron pondered about those they recently encounter as more then mindless evil clones of Mal.

"Guess it's time for good ol' Drebin to let you in on a few things…" Drebin stated to have those gtather around for another lesson section. "Ever since word of Mal's setback was heard, one of his Dark Generals has given orders to kill." That alerted the gang on knowing about Mal's early defeat before he escaped. "All Dark One's Army units and elite Dark Mutant units number one priority is to eliminate some folks on sight." He pointed out in revealing the big order given out for prime targets. "These people are contestants…from Total Drama." Yep that clarifies things up, the heroes are on Mal's hit list. "But from where I'm sitting, Total Drama Mutants seems a little more appropriate." He stated on seeing those being targeted, are just another bunch of mutant lifeforms.

"Ugh, Mutant hugh?" Heather groans from knowing that their lives changed and the only way to survive is to become mutant freaks.

"Cheer up….That's the bad news." Drebin stated on letting the gang know what he has to tell them.

"Really, what's the good news?" Jasmine (L) asked from hoping they can get good news to cheer up.

"Well it's good news…for the males? I'll explain it." Drebin smiled while holding up a quarter, as everyone watches closely. "Word on the street says that beneath those ugly suits, the B&B are real babes…Drop-dead gorgeous."Drebin wiggles his coin around the right hand to dazzle the crowd while mentioning how the B&B truly look beneath their suits.

"Really? How gorgeous we talking about?" Duncan eraised an eyebrow from sounding curious.

"Due tell, as a handsome man, I must clarify if it's true." Alejandro request from feeling a sense of those competing of being gorgeous.

"Did you both forget, he said they were mutated!? How gorgeous would they be?" Heather rolled her eyes at the guys behavior and remind them that with Mal's action he make the girls less attractive.

"I suppose I should mention that they gain their looks from animals that blend real nicely with their bodies. Like you're robotic gal here." Drebin pointed out which made some valid point about Jasmine (L) had some pretty looks even as a mutated robot girl. "But there's more to it then that." Drebin states on more things left to be said now. "They also say each one of them who was aboard that cruise ship caught and mutated, was given transplanted memories of others who been traumatized by war. Badly." Drebin explained the heavy load of what was the unfortunate sake of the 4 females used to become what they are.

"Wait, you mean like…what happen to me and a few others?" Jasmine (L) gasped from recalling that terrible experience of someone controlling their minds and behavior.

"Hmmm, more or less the same, but close enough. But unlike what you experienced, the personas implanted weren't soldiers to begin with, you know." Drebin issue to say while flipping his coin without dropping and explains the tragic tale. "More like victims of war." He rotated the coin to his left hand, then flipped it in the air to get caught by the second left hand.

"War victims?" Cameron exclaimed from having heard that right: from recalling the implanted personas of 'The Pain', 'The Fear', 'The End', and 'The Fury' were all from other people Mal used science to input such behavior.

"In a word…The personas of others that the Dark One's Army brought in were different. They suffered shell-shock on the battlefield…Post Traumatic." Drebin explained while holding his hands to mention what happen to the ones made into the B&B. "It damaged the personas minds pretty much beyond repair…" When hearing that part, it made some folks feel sad. "So the only way they could cope with the reality of battle was to become war machines themselves."

"Good golly, that's horrible!?" Brick exclaimed from thinking that's too much to put those that never ask for such a fate.

"Well the remnants of their human side are buried deep within." Drebin issued to mention what's happen to the B&Bs humanity is sealed off. "The beast…That's what you see on the outside. War transforms us, my friends…Into beasts." He exclaims on how when one goes to war, it changes a person.

"Hmmm…?" Brick hums a bit from having heard that line. "War transforms us…" The guy may have been setting himself up for the military life, but if one went to war…would he have a change of view.

"But deep within that shell, something human survives." Drebin issued something that caught the gang's attention. "A fragile, scarred heart." When Drebin mentioned this, the others were puzzled. "Without a shell to protect it, it's like the yolk of an egg." He explained what happens if the B&B lose their armor protection.

"Seriously, they've been mutated and they're concern is being exposed?" Duncan raised an eyebrow, finding that logic way off.

"Word going around is…Because of the mutation, armor gear and implanting a second persona of such nature in those folks was only a safety measure. The new addition can't survive in the open for more than a few minutes. Otherwise it free the host body." Drebin explains the oddest condition that maintains the B&B working under such collars for safety means. "And they've been convinced that by killing Total Drama members, their minds will be cleansed."

"Seriously, kill us will help?" Heather questioned who would give anyone such a dumb idea.

"Why would they even think that?" Cameron asked why the B&B members believe such a crazy suggestion.

"They think it's gonna free them from all the pain…And all the fury…And all the sorrow." Drebin explained how the four believe such a means will bring an end to their suffering. "Which makes these mutant babes pretty much obsessed…With killing each of you." Drebin points the index fingers at who the B&B wanna get their hands on.

"Gee, how swell?" Heather rolled her eyes at how lucky they must be, which she was being sarcastic.

"Just how many of them are there?" Jasmine (L) asked the big question, how many of the B&B do they gotta watch out for.

"Right, the cruise ship had many friends and families related to contestants on Total Drama, so spill the beans." Duncan asked in wanting to know, cause they should have brought way more then their 6 party members.

"Easy. Four B&Bs have been identified so far." Drebin issued to show the gang photos he's taken. "The one you folks just saw was Raging Raven." On the photo was an image shot of the flying humanoid in the sky. "There's also Laughing Octopus, a master of mimicry…" The next photo shot had a female with the strange tentacle arms. "And Crying Wolf…She runs on four legs." The next photo shot showed a strange mechanical beast that resembles a wolf-like creature. "And finally, the mistress of mind control…Screaming Mantis." The last photo shot showed a female with many arms on the scene.

"Wait, when you say master of the mind, you don't mean…" Cameron had a very bad memory of what power that reminds them of.

"Yeah, there used to be someone in Mal's army that had a similar power. Dark Phoenix – could control people's minds." Drebin mentions the name of someone who used an alias name and was actual Scarlet. "I guess she inherited the title to some extent….She keeps the other B&Bs minds in check with her powers." He explains that among the four, one was the leader of the bunch.

"So we got an Octopus, Raven, Wolf, Mantis…" Alejandro label out the code names of those to be wary of.

"You got it. They're the manmade unit, and they've got you folks in their sights." Drebin firmly stated that the B&B will be coming for the Total Drama members here. "Hehehe, boy…I'd hate to be in your shoes." He lightly let off a chuckle at how bad things are for those here being targeted.

"Drebin…There is something I wanna ask?" Cameron spoke up with something on the mind. "Do you think it's possible for this so-called System to be hacked?" The guy believes that even a perfect system could be hacked.

"Or are you truly working for Mal's side?" Alejandro raised an eyebrow from having second thoughts.

"No sir! I ain't no Darkling…heheh…" Drebin sits back with clasp hands to laugh off the idea which earn him stares. "I mean…I'm no Mal Clone." He apologizes while being more reasonable on his response.

"Guys, my scans read that he's 100 percent a Mike-Alike." Cameron assured those that Drebin is not one of Mal's evil clones. "But tell me something, the Dark General called Gravi that's in charge here? The file didn't say what he is? Wasn't he human before mutating?" The guy was curious about something that he couldn't research.

"Not anymore he ain't. You could say Gravi is something like you." Drebin firmly mentioned this hot topic which surprised everyone: the Dark General in question is similar to Cameron's mutant power. "The things that would run by people can be no more. It's run by the System. Gravi has become a mutated AI that has a life of it's own." He mentions what the Dark General is like, and he can influence networks. "Just as I can trick the system, Gravi has the means to make the world's military do what it wants to get results."

"So another mystery of how Mal got so powerful is solved. He had a clone with powers to rig the network and secretly get funds for his own agenda." Cameron exclaimed on realizing what multiple task work Mal had his own evil army do to become a big threat to the world.

"Man, and I thought hacking a school network to change grades was bad, this goes beyond bad." Duncan exclaimed from knowing the major problem someone that can go anywhere and hack into systems can control much society.

"Drebin, is there maybe someway we can defeat him?" Alejandro asked in hoping for an easier matter on the situation.

"I'm just a gun launder? Only reason I'm interested in you folks is 'cause you start a lot of fires." Drebin explained this with a sly smile on why he's doing all this for.

"Really, that sure doesn't sound like much." Heather rolled her eyes at seeing they are entertainment to distract those that feel bored.

"Well, if you like I can give you all something juicy. You think the B&B Corp is bad, wait till you hear about a local group called Winds of Destruction." Drebin issued to mention about another problem to be wary of. "Those folks are clones of Mal composed of two things. First is Mutagen Enhancement, which gives them a more enhanced abilities in speed and strength to take on 20 men. Second is Cybernetic Organism, or Cyborg for short, which lets them have both biological and artificial parts." He explains who the next bunch of enemy units are and how dangerous they are. "Now tell me, what happens when those two are combined and where they stand?" Drebin asked the big question to see if anyone can guess it right.

"Ugh, you get something that can be equally troublesome. We once faced Killer who became incredibly powerful with both Mutagen and Cybernetic enhancements." Alejandro groans to state what they went through having fought such a difficult opponent.

"Not to mention Killer went up to a B+ Rank." Cameron stated on recalling how tough Killer was in the ranking score.

"Well best you pay attention to them, cause they are working with the B&B. And those guys have been enhanced enough to go from teenagers to full grown adults." Drebin issued to mention on the danger level when one encounters the Winds Of Destruction unit. "Be careful around the Winds Of Destruction, they're pretty crazy strong to make the guy you know as Killer seem like child's play." When the guy said this, it was like a big shock to the rest.

"Uh-oh, that does sound really bad? Um, are they also Rank around B or B+ even?" Jasmine asked with a concerning tone of her voice.

"Well that depends, they're pretty much close to being around an A- Rank." Drebin scratch his chin to contemplate how strong such foes actual area.

"If we focus on taking down the stronger factions, we might help turn the tide." Brick suggest a plan to help them narrow down the threat level. "Can you give us the locations?" He asked Drebin to give them directions so they can focus on weakening the Dark General's forces even for a little bit.

"I do know where they are station, but you're gonna need a heck of a lot of luck surviving not one but two elite fighters if they team up." Drebin firmly issued on where things are gonna get hectic soon. "But I feel generous, if you like…you can stock up on what I got before engaging, what do you say?" He smiled to slyly put on the businessman front act to get some happy cutomers going.

"We'll put you on a shared signal if you like." Cameron suggest how they can keep in contact with the guy.

"All right then. You need me, just give me a ring." Drebin smiled before climbing aboard into his Stryker but turns to face the others. "I…Have…You…" Then Drebin did a little fingers to the eyes and then at the group: which was a business calling to match his vehicle name.

After that, Drebin closed the back of the vehicle, and the engine was running before being driven off. That left the gang completely baffled from their first encountering of such a strange Mike-Alike. But even more so, about the danger that still lies ahead, and they need to be ready for whatever new major dangers lie in wait.

-DUNCAN'S VIDEOS-

"Much as I hate doing the work of shady guys, we're pretty much up the creak without a paddle." Duncan shrug off his shoulders from knowing they can't escape this. "From what we learn, we got like three places to check out. But Cameron says we need to also find the Resistance of Mike-Alikes. So we each gotta split up to cover more ground." The guy explained the basic plan on how they need to approach the situation. "Heh, I'm almost wondering which of those B&B I'll get to meet?" Then the guy stopped when he realized he say this to the video. "Ugh, don't tell Courtney I said this?" The guy really doesn't want the girl he can't stop thinking about know what he's thinking.

-CAMERON'S VIDEOS-

"I don't much like the idea of us splitting up. But I've ran my scans to determine a few among us that can explore areas." Cameron explains what he thought was best at the time. "Me, Brick and Alejandro will try to roundup some allies here and keep track of everyone's progress. Any help we can get we gladly will take." Cameron stated on how it's best to have quantity to help deal with quality opponents.

-JASMINE'S (L) VIDEOS-

"I am actually a little scared, but maybe I can do this." Jasmine (L) stated in her video about trying to give herself encouragement. "I wanted to be part of Total Drama, and even though I was captured, mutated and mind controlled…I think I can show my stuff. If it's Leshawna, she show others she's not to be messed with, so I'll take that to heart." The girl tries to stay positive despite what she's been through and have some hope in her skills.

---

-HEATHER'S VIDEOS-

"Am I worried if I can handle things? Well you forget, I've managed to make it through challenges…" Heather crossed her arms to state how she got through things to make it close in the Total Drama seasons. "As long as nobody team-up against me or set me up for a fall. And sure I only made it through near or at the finals, or brought as special guest…" She stops when realizing she was admitting failures on times she almost got a million dollars. "The point is, I can handle whatever comes at me even if I'm alone!" She firmly stated while not allowing whatever gets in her way...

MILITARY BASE SECTOR 7

NEW LOCATION: WEAPON'S PLANT FACILITY

The scene opens to a strange factory structure, a lot of pipe works and other electrical equipment. And entering the scene was none other then Heather who seem to be on edge on being alone in this unknown area. But according to the device she had on hand, it lead her to this destination to find one of the elite enemies to take down. Course that doesn't make one feel any better, and right now this place was housing to create who knows what weaponry the Dark One's Army wanted to use for warfare.

"Ugh, this feels like something Chris would have us compete in with no worries for our safety.?" Heather moans to complain about the location she finds herself in. "Maybe I should have considered bringing someone, could have been a shield if things don't go my way?"

Then something was seen moving around in one of the areas near Heather. But then it seem to hid before the girl could spot what it was. Just then the weird moving thing knocked a loose metal pipe that made a noise.

"Who's there? Show yourselves!" Heather glares while aiming a Plasma Rifle to take aim.

Then something revealed around the corner was a strange figure wearing a fedora and a trench coat. Heather watches him while being on her guard.

"Another person, here?...Start talking!" Heather demands the guy, only to see the figure run off. "Hey! Where are you going!?" She yelled at the person trying to leave when she's talking.

Heather was chasing after someone who was suspicious, and figured it was one of Mal's evil clones. The girl changed into a bird and flew ahead before changing back to get the drop on the guy.

"I'm not in the mood for games, now TALK or…" Heather aim her weapon to prepare threatening her captured foe. "Hugh!?" But gasped upon something that was not right here.

That's when something freaky occurred that the man was not a man, but it was a disguise that hidden…three drone robots. They were small, black spheres, about 1/3 as tall as the average man with a large, blue 'eye' and three organic-looking arms, similar to Screaming Mantis' additional arms. Heather quickly moved away while using the Mutant Scouter to determine these freaky little machines.

MUTANT: DWARF GEKKOS

TYPE: MUTANT MACHINE LIFEFORMS

RANK: C-

POWER LEVEL: 9000

Information: TThese small, unmannered weapons guard important areas and are use for reconnaissance. Their main methods of locomotion were to roll around in their spherical form, or use their three arms to hop about and run in a limited fashion. While one or a few are easily defeated, the Dwarf Gekko often attack in large groups, where they show their true deadly potential. Scanning any areas they are guarding with a beam of light, if they detect an intruder, an alert is raised, causing an infinite amount of Dwarf Gekko reinforcements to converge en masse upon an enemy. Besides rolling into or swiping at their enemies to cause injury, they're capable of latching onto them and inducing a painful, electric shock with their central 'eye'. They detonated when destroyed, making it dangerous for enemies to be nearby when taking them on. Sometimes, they could even self-destruct by clinging onto someone, ensuring that their enemy dies. They also have the ability to latch onto walls and work like a security camera, and if they were too far away to engage in hand-to-hand combat, they use their human-shaped hands to operate a number of handguns, most commonly the GSR, the Five-seveN handgun and sometimes a Desert Eagle.

"Ugh, great. Little robot eyeball bodies with three arms." Heather remarked on having seen such disturbing designs. "Who came up with something so creepy." The girl complained about facing such weirdly design bots.

So without further delay, Heather was engaging in target practicing with the little black spheres. But then one sound the alarm to call in a few others, forcing Heather to watch out for any that tried to latch onto her. After a few moments, Heather destroyed enough of the drones that they blew up, the force nearly knock her off.

"Huuuugh…and those things are label C- Rank? I guess when they work in groups they are more dangerous." Heather signs from a close calling from almost being overrun.

But then a strange laughter was heard belonging to a female, this made Heather jumpy.

"HEATHER!" Then a strange female voice was heard yelling the name in a mixed voice pattern. "Hahahahah…." Then scaling on the ceiling portion was a weird metallic sphere with tentacles. Then it began to undo it's camouflage mode with someone uncurling the human body.

"What the…camouflage?" Heather instantly saw this, but more so recognized who she encounter: Laughing Octopus.

"HEATHER…My prey." Laughing Octopus exclaimed from her mixed voice while echoes of laughter are heard. "Isn't it funny?" She issued before the face mask was displaying an image of Heather's human look but all twisted and such that gave one the shivers.

"Uuugh…it's like I'm looking at a freaky funhouse mirror!?" Heather cringes from seeing such a sight, it might give her nightmares of someone using her face.

"Gahahahah-Hahahahh…." The enemy was laughing while the face was reverted back into the mask state. "Come on! Laugh, while you can!" Laughing Octopus issued on wanting the girl to laugh with her. "There's no escape from here! Laugh yourself to death!" She issued this before some Snatch Hunters drop from above.

As the evil laughter was heard, Laughing Octopus released some black ink to blind Heather's sight. When it was over, the enemy disappeared and left Heather behind to deal with the Snatch Hunters. Heather was surrounded, but quickly transform herself to resemble Duncan's werewolf form to slash the surprised foes. The girl was taking out the enemy soldiers while making a clear path. When it was over, the Snatch Hunters faded into nothingness, and Heather transform back into her original form.

"Ugh…somehow this feels like karma getting back at me for what I did when on live national television." Heather moans while she was continuing to explore more of the facility structure. "Hugh!?" Heather became highly alert, as she heard someone deep breathing and wheezing around her. "Where are you now?" She snapped to demand the one who's still hiding come out.

"Hahahaha…." But there was the sound of creepy laughter belonging to one who might be insane. "Guhahahah-hahahaaaa…." There was more evil laughter, Heather did not know where it was coming from: but something was moving from above her backside which dropped down…in a disturbing way.

"What the heck!?" Heather yelped to stare at something that was squashed on the ground: anyone with bones would have felt pain but that looked like something a ragdoll would do.

"What a riot…" Then a familiar voice exclaimed as she was picking herself up: as it was Laughing Octopus herself.

Heather was on guard before the weirdo female slowly was getting up. That's when Heather decided on using the Mutant Scouter to get more intel about this bizarre foe:

MUTANT: LAUGHING OCTOPUS – BEAST MODE

TYPE: MUTANT CEPHALOPOD

RANK: B+

POWER LEVEL: 66,000

Information: A captive member from the S.S. Total Drama cruise ship, dump in Mutagen Ooze with the DNA of an octopus. Mal then implanted a different persona to create a female soldier with enhanced mutant abilities followed by special suits to turn one into incredible combatants. However the persona had suffered from intense Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by the horrors of war. The two combined in a host body cause an unsettling side-effect where a special suit keeps the new life in control but if the gear is removed will weaken and almost face termination and free the dormant will.

Laughing Octopus doesn't wear armor, it's a stealth suit able to mimic the color and texture of any background she stands against. Possesses a full-face mask covering the entire head. The mask has the same abilities as the suit. With this combination of camo mask and camo suit, could completely camouflage from head to toe, totally blending into any background. Allowing to remain hidden and undetected though she were but a few feet away from an enemy, directly in front of them. Her camouflage ability is not limited to backgrounds. She could mimic the appearance of machinery or objects such as mannequins. Could even take on the appearance of any allies she knew her foe had, to fool them into coming closer to her so she could attack him. To enhance this illusion, she has the ability to perfectly mimic the person's voice.

Wears a helmet to which was attached four long tentacle-like mechanical appendages. These are the main offensive weapons. Each had three structures at its end that together made a three-pronged pincer, allowing to pick up and manipulate objects with each tentacle. Each tentacle and its pincers was under the mental control. Uses them as effortlessly as a normal person uses their hands and arms. Could use them to bludgeon, impale, grab and smash or wrap and crush foes easily. In addition, each tentacle is capable of emitting an electric shock of high enough voltage to electrocute an enemy. Also, could use them to climb and hold on to structures and even use them for locomotion, all at great speed. Could even use them to hold onto a ceiling, lying prone against it, face down, above an enemy. By holding onto a large vehicle such as a Stryker, could allow one's self to be transported.

An additional attack use was to curl up with the tentacles forming a ball around one's self and roll at an enemy like a bowling ball. This attack, given the speed at which one rolls and the unyielding material that the tentacles were composed of, was akin to being struck by a car; serious injury or death was the result. Also wields a FN P90 Personal Defense Weapon. Defensively, able to release a cloud of thick, inky black smoke, much as her namesake releases a cloud of inky black substance. Like an octopus, uses this cloud to escape attack. Not only did this cloud obscure regular vision, it shields body heat, making thermal vision unable to penetrate it. Releases a group of small explosives in the cloud, making any attempted pursuit through the cloud dangerous. Moreover, the explosives homed in on the enemy.

"People suffering…Gahahaha…." Laughing Octopus proclaimed this matter while the metallic octopus back and tentacles curled around the female's body while laughing. "People hurting…Gahahahah…." She stated on another matter of what folks do; then broke out to laugh again. "People dying…Ahahahaahhh…" She described another matter of what happens to folks while laughing.

Heather felt a bit disturbed by what this psycho was talking about. Sure she's dealt with weirdos and jerks, but this sort of talk just left a bad taste in Heather's stomach.

"It's all so incredibly hysterical!" Laughing Octopus proclaimed loudly as she uncurled herself to stand upwards by her mechanical tentacles and still laughed. "Laugh." She asked while letting off a disturbing laugher.

"Hmm….?" Heather reacted to be defensive, finding this very creepy and disturbing.

"LAUGH WITH ME!" Laughing Octopus snapped in what she wanted from Heather. "Gahahahah-waaaahhahahahahaaaaahhh…. She was laughing like a derange psycho that found things funny.

"Why don't you laugh about this you FREAK!?" Heather snapped from deciding to stop this enemy and her crazy laughing.

Just then Heather yelped as Laughing Octopus pulled out her P90 Personal Defense Weapon and fired off shots. Heather immediately changed into a mouse to dodge, and then reverted back before using the Plasma Rifles.

"Gaaaahhhhh?!" Laughing Octopus cried out from being knocked across the area to land on the floor. "Gaaaaaawww-Hahahahaahhh…." Then she rolled into an octopus ball form and released an ink smokescreen that blinded the area.

"Hey!" Heather snapped as she tried to attack anything in the area, but seem to missed.

"Wahahahahaahhh…." Laughing Octopus was heard laughing crazy, as the smokescreen faded out to reveal…the enemy was gone.

"Urrrrgh, where did she go?!" Heather groans annoyed that someone slipped by. "Great, now I have to play hide and seek with a crazy person that makes Izzy seem sane?" Heather rolled her eyes on how this was just another weird day of meeting more crazy people even if they were manipulated by Mal's forces.

Heather searches for Laughing Octopus, uncertain where she might be hiding in the area. She changed into a crow to fly upwards to get a better view. But apparently the place is so big, the enemy could hid anywhere and attack any time. Then when changing back upon landing on the rooftop, Heather saw someone was there…but it was someone different. A 6.6 feet tall woman in her 38s with medium red hair, blue color eyes, and wore a black with red design feature/pattern style outfit with a jacket, boots and gloves.

"I was wondering when you come…" The mystery woman spoke with her back to Heather but knew she was present. "Heather, The Queen Bee." She spoke from addressing a certain title of what Heather was label in the past.

"Haven't heard anyone call me that in a long time." Heather responded to the mystery woman. "That girl known as Laughing Octopus. Where is she?" She demanded to know where that foe was hiding.

"Too-too-too-too, too…." The mystery woman was tutting her lips at hearing such a brash request. "I can show you a better time than that laughing child." She brushed off the subject to say she was more interesting.

"What are you in charge here?" Heather remarked about this suspicious woman's action.

"I am "Mistral"…the Cold Wind of France." The mystery woman turns around to introduce herself to Heather. "And you…your reputation precedes you…" She stated on having to know much about Heather from the Total Drama series. "The Blacken Raven, but easily deceptive of its nature for victory…" She speaks as if to rattle under Heather's skin. "A natural-born competitor to win and be notice, even as a child…" The more she spoke, it was like preying deep into Heather's soul.

"Look, that was a long time ago." Heather spoke up in her defense of what she was like in the past. "Well, maybe last season or so?" She muttered on correcting that statement. "So are you a clone of Mal with a frenchy accent?" She turn her focus on this stranger while trying to understand who she is.

"I am a clone of Mal with Algeria back story, you know. I'm only half French." Mistral declared forth this surprise piece of news.

"And I care why?" Heather asked of what is the point of this.

"You see long ago Algeria had it's own civil war in the 90s. So, you see?" Mistral spoke out about a matter of what events took place. "Cut from the same cloth, you and I. Always fighting to stay ahead of everything going around." She issued that she and Heather are similar to another; they fight to win.

"Disturbing to hear, but you don't know me at all." Heather protest against these strange psychological stuff.

"Did you know that one called Mike had distant relatives in Algeria. But ended up losing a whole family there, everything…" Mistral expressed what horrors had underwent long ago; Heather suddenly felt bothered by that since she has her family but almost suffered losing them. "But unlike your family problems, I butchered those vile swines!" She clutched her right fist to proclaimed what she did in retaliation.

"Wait, you did WHAT to them?!" Heather gasped in shock; sure she was mean and did things but killing people seem…overkill?

"The family's killers. That's when I realized…" Mistral explained some dark history on having taken vengeance. "I am a killer, too. And a good one at that." She expressed how she experienced how good she was to take life. "I slaughtered dozens in Iraq, in Afghanistan…I found my calling." She announced where she learned her path was on the battlefield.

"Hold it!" Heather held a weapon to keep the enemy away from her. "So you're proud of that, are you?" She asked from feeling disturb by every word this woman said.

"What happened, happened." Mistral shrug off the arms to admit it's all in the past. "To be honest end, I found it quite dull." She reached for a string to pull on her jacket which came off.

Heather got another good look at Mistral, and saw something that resemble cyborg components.

"My enemies fell like domino's, one after another." Mistral explained how she took down her prey with a flick of the index finger. "Not once did I feel threatened." She mentioned that nothing could pose a threat to her life. "I was adrift…without challenge…without purpose…" She stated these facts while Heather watch her carefully, something was moving in the shadows: those Dwarf Gekko things. "At times, I even envied my prey." When she talks, Heather saw more enemy robots showing up. "At least they had a cause to die for…" The woman sounds like she was lost and envy the prey. "And then…I met him. The original of Mike's darkness." She lightly touch her chest to express a faithful meeting.

"You mean Mal?" Heather raise an eyebrow on what this woman meant. "Woah!/Slash!" Then she yelped to cut off one of those Dwarf Gekkos that attacked her with a Plasma Blade.

"Correct, he took me in and helped rebuild me." Mistral declared on answering the question. "And I knew what I'd been missing." She expressed relief and joy on what she long felt lost on. "His ideals gave my life meaning. Ideals, Heather." As she spoke, she rest on top of one of those Dwarf Gekko things acting as a seat for a queen. "What are yours?" She asked Heather a direct question without warning.

"Well I…I get by with my life now." Heather struggled to put the words into her mouth.

"Ga-hahaha…" Mistral lets off a small chuckle while standing up while she grabbed the two arms of the Dwarf Gekko she sat on. "Still…" As she spoke she steps on the third robot hand, and yanked off the screaming Dwarf Gekko to pull the three arms off. "So naive." She declared as the robot eye yelped from losing two robot arms to yelp like a fish which made Heather feel more sickeningly disturb.

"Ugh, your taste is horrible. And right now I wanna make sure my family is alright, get in my way…so be it. I'll take you down!" Heather declared on showing some resolve while not puking at the action.

"Hmm?" Mistral hums to twirl the dislocated robot arm before she stepped her right foot on the whiny robot eye: then steps down so hard it broke in half which furthered made Heather be on alert of this enemy. "It seems we have less in common than I thought." She stated on how Heather has chosen her path.

"Well from one Queen Bee type to another, I'll take that as a compliment." Heather stated on sounding pleased with herself.

"If you would kill for your ideals, then surely you are ready to die for them!" Mistral declared as she then combined the severed robot arms that merge into a pole weapon.

Then without warning, more of the robot eyeballs were rushing to Mistral. But instead of attacking, the bots deliberately were yanking their own robot arm limbs off and connecting them to the strange back compartment. Minstrel yelped from the pain of electric joints coursing through her, but in return…she was gaining control of the robot arms. And then more of the robot arms were combining onto the arm pole weapon to make it longer. When it was over, the eye spheres drop to the ground, limbless. Now Minstrel was gasping as she reveals red energy coursing through the arms to her and even her eyes flared with a vile smile. She now is a villain with over 10 to 12 arm limbs.

ABOVE THE FACILITY

Then on a hover announcer booth, was none other then Dallas and Juanita. Clones of Mal but with a dark sense of reporting action on things just for the ratings. They were observing events before getting the cameras ready.

"Ladies and Gentleman! Get ready for some excitement!" Dallas boldly proclaimed to get everyone riled up.

"That's right Dallas, we're now entering a new battle zone!" Juanita issued on making a professional statement here.

"I tell you Juanita, these folks survived close encounters. But can they survive the war economy!" Dallas stated on wondering if the Total Drama crew can handle such things.

"The opponent being Heather facing up against the B&B Corp member Laughing Octopus and Winds of Destruction Mistral, the odds are highly against her doing it alone." Juanita pointed out that the opponents might be too much for Heather to handle.

"Then let's start the battle with a little musical number 'A Stranger I Remain – Extended Battle Theme', cause trust me folks…" Dallas announced with a little musical entertainment to the mix. "It's strange to see anyone forget their past without others to remind them." The guy was making a light joke which hints about forgetting who they were before having changed.

"Now let's begin the show!" Juanita smiled to happily welcome the start of a brutal show for such intriguing audiences to see.

CURRENT EVENT – HEATHER'S BATTLE

Now with Mistral having gain a power up, she apparently emits a dangerous air flow around the presence. The background music 'A Stranger I Remain – Extended Battle' was playing at this time, as Heather gets herself ready with the Plasma weapons she had on hand. Mistral pulls out some extra dagger blades to arm one of her extra arms which became a pole.

MUTANT: MISTRAL

TYPE: MUTANT CYBORG

RANK: A-

POWER LEVEL: 160,000

Information: A product clone version of Mal with it's own personality but more darken from a source of evilness. After having become subjected to allowing the body to mutate with traces of Dark Miasma, an experiment was given to the newly change clone. The mutation cause a growth and alter appearance change to match the personality while maintaining some human appearance. The second was cyborg components to increase the potential talent and the enhanced mutated body. The results showed promise of creating a superior humanoid reaching the power level to compete against Mutant Beast of A-Rank quality.

Gain an ability to take the arms of Dwarf Gekko drones, and attach them to the body, while also using them as weapons. Attach up to 14 arms of Dwarf Gekko to the body, 7 arms on each side of the body. Even use the remaining cores as volleys to bombard foes with by throwing them at a fast enough velocity to generate flames. In addition to using the L'Etranger as a whip and spear, could also utilize it in addition to a cartwheel to mow people down in a similar manner to a buzz-saw. Also loosen both ends to act as grappling hooks to damage the environment and the opponents with a slam.

The birth of the persona Mistral came to exist with a mutated body consist of cybernetic parts. Possesses optical implants in her eyes. Shortly after extra arms are insert into her body, the eyes glowed crimson. A sign of powering up and preparing for combat. In addition, can see afar thanks to her optical implants zoom in via AR.

"Come, mon gars!" Mistral waved her real arm and the extra right arms to challenge her foe before posing with her long lance weapon.

Heather immediately transformed herself into Harold's ninja robot body and ram tackle to destroy the Dwarf Gekkos protecting Mistral. But then Mistral swung her arm lance weapon with so much force that it knocked Heather to crash against a pipe wall.

"Uuurghhhh? I may have gain armor, but that still hurts?" Heather exclaimed as she got out while transforming back.

"Hahahah!" Mistral laughs before energy channel through her weapon, becoming a long energy whip to lash against Heather. "I will ripe you apart!" She declared what she will do to Heather when she is through.

"Oh, you wanna play that way!? Fine…let's play!" Heather

Soon Heather had to transform into a water state to evade the energy whips from harming her. Then as Heather slipped pass Mistral's attacks, the girl transformed into Brady's bee form and used the Sting Lances to slash the target.

"Try to follow me." Mistral declared before she was twirling to spin her weapon in mid air flight motion.

Heather managed to dodge the first one but then change herself to have protective skin against the second attack. That move managed to protect Heather thanks to learning how B gain his harden skin power. And once that was over, Heather used Plasma Rifles to open fire that made good impacts.

"Ughhh!" Mistral yelped from Heather's little attack that stop her. "I will ripe you apart!" She snapped as she went on for the offence.

"Same line, same excuse!" Heather remarked back when preparing for an enemy attack.

Then Heather managed to block the blade with her own Plasma Blade to keep both opponents in a deadlock. But then Mistral managed to repel Heather across the floor. But then Minstrel laughs to launch another energy whip to lasso and haul Heather through the air.

"GYaahh…this is so annoying! Hmm?" Heather protest as she saw something…a weakness to the arm lance when split into an energy whip. "You should keep such things from being noticed!/SLASH!" That's when Heather slashed to destroy the core point with her Plasma Blades.

"Aaahhhh?" Mistral yelped from losing her weapon and Heather was free.

"Payback time!" Heather managed to change her body to have tentacle arms to spin around a pipe back at the enemy.

"Gaaaahhhhh!" Mistral yelped as Heather delivered a kick force that knock her across and off the top rooftop. "Gaaarrrgh!?" Mistral yelped when she hit the other side of a giant pipeline only for Heather to fly and change back to land. "I am starting to enjoy this!" She declared as she stood up, finding the battle a bit more meaningful before skidding away from Heather's attack and jump on a tanker. "A present…from me!" Mistral was receiving more Dwarf Gekkos from the tanker fossil before hurling them off as red energy balls. "Can you handle this?" She taunts as this was forcing Heather to be defensive.

"After surviving projectiles from golf balls, this will be nothing!" Heather remarked on accepting the challenge and destroying the red energy balls with her Plasma weaponry.

"Ready to slice off some more?" Mistral exclaimed to taunt while continuing to get more Dwarf Gekkos supplies and continue the assault.

After having endured the assault, Mistral leaps down to attack Heather with some little helpers. Heather managed to get rid of the bots before focusing on fighting against Mistral tearing through her defensive by twirling her mechanical whip in the air. The battle was becoming difficult with the enemy having more numbers.

"Too slow!" Mistral remarked Heather's counterattack before propelling across the pipe ledge.

"Then eat THIS!/Pow-Pow, Pow-Pow, Pow-Pow!" Heather remarked as she launched an attack: firing Plasma Rifle shots.

"Pointless!" Minstrel ridiculed the action of Heather's useless struggle.

That's when Mistral launched whips and rapid lashes against Heather who tried to take the form of something small or defensive; they only aided so far. To Heather, this person was like facing herself, but far more twisted, far more vile, and every strike that impacted Heather was a reminder of how everyone saw her.

"Rrrraaarrrrrr…." Then Heather ran ahead to the other side before turning back in the form of a charging rhino to destroy the extra Dwarf Gekkos.

"Die! Die!" Mistral snapped as she lashed her weapon on the charging Heather who endured to plot through.

"Gotcha!" Heather announced as her charging rhino was inches away from hitting the enemy.

"Over here!" Then Mistral leaped upwards to evade the charge and used her weapon to attach to the big pipe.

"Woah!" Heather yelped as the enemy dived down to kick break the entire pipe; and Mistral was leaping across the other walls to head to a new area. "No way am I letting that go!" Heather argued as she watch out for explosive equipment breaking down while following her foe.

Soon there was much explosions that half the structure was now on fire. Heather yelped as she just barely made it to ground level, only to see Mistral holding her weapon and a group of Dwarf Gekkos beside her.

"This ends now!" Mistral whips her morphed weapon, deciding to end the battle.

Heather was preparing against the eyeball bots as she dealt with them. But then Mistral whipped the ground to unleash a red shockwave burst that knocked Heather across the field.

"Ugh!?" Heather defended the next strikes, but then felt something struggle her. "What the?" That's when Heather found her waist wrapped by something invisible.

"Hahahahahah…." Laughing Octopus was heard laughing, and was camouflage into the area.

"Urrrrgh, just what I don't need? Girls with multiple limbs?" Heather rolled her eyes before her body turn to water.

"What?" Laughing Octopus yelped from the enemy slipped away.

"Fool! You let him escape!" Mistral remarked at her companion for a slip up.

Heather reforms her body in water before making her Plasma Rifles solid to fire shots against the enemies, causing Laughing Octopus to yelp and squirt black ink off before hiding. That's when Heather suddenly began to unleash a rapid counterattack against Mistral when she too was distracted, as she suffered damage; enough to lose some of her robot robots.

"Try and follow me." Mistral declared before unleashing her twirling flaming ring attack.

Heather managed to foreseen this old move, and planned a counter strike. She waited and then saw where Laughing Octopus was camouflaging herself. And when Minstrel launched an energy whip, Heather duck down to allow someone else to get hit.

"Guuuaaagh!" Laughing Octopus cried out from feeling the blow.

"No!" Mistral protest, Heather evaded to allow her to attack one of her own.

"Oh yes!" Heather then reappeared soon afterwards…

With the enemy distracted, Heather unleashed her best attacks with the Plasma Weapons for firing and close combat. Which was destroying the rest of the robot limbs off Mistral to become defenseless. But then Heather yelped when seeing a group of Dwarf Gekkos swarming in and the girl knew Mistral wanted them to give her more arm limbs. So Heather focused on limiting the enemy's advantage.

"Let's have a little fun…" Minstrel leaps upwards to declare a change of paste. "Here we go!" That's when the enemy was firing red eyeball bots to cause explosive impacts.

"Seriously, this again!?" Heather protest as she evaded the explosions destroying more parts of the facility.

"Keep trying, girl!" Minstrel taunts Heather to survive against her bombardment.

"Just you try to find me?" Laughing Octopus was heard hiding somewhere in the area.

Then when Heather was weakening, Laughing Octopus attacked with her FN P90 weapon. Heather tried to attack back until Laughing Octopus used her ink mist to blind Heather. That's when Mistral dove down and had her and the Dwarf Gekkos attack. But Heather managed to destroy the bots and knock the evil cyborg woman away.

"Don't you want to play?" Mistral taunts Heather for being afraid. "Hahah-hahaha!?" Then she laughs to perform her red buzzsaw tactic which force Heather to be on the defense.

"I'm starting to get sick of all these hands all over me!" Heather protest when the Dwarf Gekkos tried to restrain her.

That's when Heather began to wait as Minstrel attack, but used the Dwarf Gekkos to counter her, then launch a surprise attack. That move upset Minstrel to flip backwards and launch her red whip shockwave. But Heather change into a bird to fly over but the enemy used her energy whip to lash out. But then Mistral managed to wrap around Heather, and then Laughing Octopus appeared.

"Farewell!" Minstrel announced the final victory was hers.

"Not today!" Heather argued as she blasted the floor to make dust clouds.

"What!?" Laughing Octopus yelped from this unexpected action.

That's when Heather performed an unexpected surprise. Heather transform into a mouse and allowed Minstrel to accidentally attack Laughing Octopus.

"Gyaahhhh!" Laughing Octopus screamed as she was tossed aside.

Minstrel became furious as she tried to attack with electric bolts by the whip. But Heather transformed and charged forward while risking the damage, and delivered with a strong blow against the arm lance.

"Die! Die!" Minstrel snapped as she tried whipping the target who was becoming more and more troublesome and difficult to beat.

Then Heather transforms her hands into long nail blades to claw the robot arms off. This forced the enemy to retreat once more.

"A present…from me." Minstrel declared as more Dwarf Gekkos appeared beside her. "Can you handle this?" She began throwing them to deal damage as Heather was cutting through them with a little ease. "Ready to slice off some more?" She remarked as Heather continued to cut through the bombardment and more bots until the girl was near exhaustion. "You will fall!" Minstrel jumped down to leap upwards to prepare her entire robot arms to bring down a mighty blow of her arm lance to end this.

"CLASH!" But Heather instead pulled out a new weapon that was a long staff with a spear-like end that was 17.3 feet in size to block Minstrel. "Wrong! Say hi to the Energy Stave I also purchased for an extra kick!" Heather taunts her opponent for having underestimated her.

"Aaahh!?" Minstrel yelped when Heather completely knock her off balance before cartwheeling to reposition herself. "Don't mess with me, girl!" She yelled off as she charged with rage at Heather.

Then everything was in slow motion as Heather jumped to evade the jab blow which penetrated a cryogenic tanker.

"Grrrr-Nahhh!?" Minstrel groans to pull her weapon back but it's stuck; and just as Heather lands on the stuck lance.

"How's about a COLD shower?" Heather remarked off before slicing the tanker to spill out its containments.

"Aaahhhhh!?" Minstrel cried out as she freed herself and tried to block the stuff making contact with her. "Nuurgh-uhh?!" But too late, from legs upwards to the face: Minstrel was completely frozen over.

"Aarrrrrgh!" Heather roared as she dives down with her Energy Stave weapon. "Break!" And she completely shattered the frozen Minstrel to pieces: she stood proudly on defeating such an enemy. "BOOM!" Then an explosion from another tanker blew up; which fits nicely of Heather's victory pose moment. At the same time, the background music had reach a conclusion…

"Huuugh…" Heather signs from having managed to defeat a very difficult opponent on her own. "Hmm? A communication?" She noticed some radio com device, something that Mistral must have kept on her.

"Mistral, report!" A male voice was heard contacting Mistral on the com-link. "Our system detects your vitals are dropping!" They detected a low level of Mistral's life signs which indicates danger for the cyborg.

"Guuh-Haahh…I lost…" Mistral's voice was heard from the severed cyborg head frozen and lying around the broken frozen body pieces. "Heh-Haaa-Huuuhh…So this is how they felt…" She was deep breathing while making a comment statement

"What?" The voice replied uncertain of the comment.

"…Dying…for a cause…" Mistral exclaimed as her breathing became slower.

"Wait. Now…hold on!" The male voice tried to say something but…

"I am sorry. The opponent was too…much…" Mistral's voice apologized from her slow gasping of air in what systems still work for her.

"We don't need apology, we need you alive! Mal's vision of the future must…" The male tried to say something on the line, but was cut off…

"Haahh…But I know…" Mistral's voice gasped for air to speak… "…you will never fall…" She stated this message while she gasped from between her breathing.

"What…What is this talk about?" The male voice pondered about the woman's statement.

"Je t'aime….Mal…de tout mon coeur." Mistral spoke these words in French as if uttering her final moments before….ceasing to continue.

"Je t'aime? Mistral…You never…" The male voice was about to say but the signal soon faded out; leaving Heather completely in the dark.

ABOVE THE FACILITY

The events that took place down below was seen on a vid-screen. As Dallas and Juanita had observe to see the outcome.

"Well Dallas, that was not what we were expecting." Juanita stated on having witness such a scene.

"Right you are Juanita, it seems Heather gave her opponent Mistral…the cold shoulder." Dallas declared while trying to sound funny to all viewers tuning in.

"You do realize what we're suppose to do, correct?" Juanita raised an eyebrow to remind her co-host friend about something.

"Report the latest news for everyone watching." Dallas simply stated on what they are doing. "Especially after we took over the former openings of the last host to bring such exciting stuff happening around our beloved Dark Kingdom." The guy was being overly dramatic on that stuff while wooing the robot girl.

"Yes, but do remember…we're on Mal's side, if our side loses…he won't be happy." Juanita reminds Dallas of who's also watching.

"Oh, good point." Dallas yelps from knowing how upset their creator Mal would be to learn this. "But luckily for us, Heather may have won one battle, but can she handle a surprise extra addition! For example – Laughing Octopus still at large?" The guy was being daring to spice up the curiosity of everyone watching.

HEATHER'S BATTLE STATE

"Hahahaha…." Then suddenly Heather heard laughter, and turned around to find Laughing Octopus rolling towards her. Heather got out of the way as the enemy uncurled to aim her weapon forth… "BANG!/AAaaahhhh!?" But Heather fired a Plasma Gun shot that knock the enemy off and hit the ground. "GRRaaarrrgh!?" Then with a scream the enemy released some ink mist all over.

"Uuugh!? This ink mist again!?" Heather groans to complain on seeing this happen all of a sudden.

When the ink mist cleared, Heather spotted Laughing Octopus who didn't get too far due to having suffered enough damages. She was on the ground sitting almost in a fatal position: and across the floor was a Camo Mask used to camouflage the face along with the body. But suddenly strange ooze was leaving her body while slowly standing up while her eerie laughter was heard. That's when the tentacle backpack completely came off her backside.

"What the…?" Heather stared in surprise: could she have dealt enough damage that the enemy's protective armor was coming apart.

"I am an octopus…Hahah-ha…" Laughing Octopus declared between laughs as the robot tentacles wiggled a bit on their own. "An eight-legged beast. Guhahahah…" She announced what she was while letting off a few laughs. "These tentacles…hahahah…Are beyond my control." She laughed off to explain the ironic sense of the matter as Heather was defensive. "Gahahahah…Their will…gah…Is the will of the battlefield." She points the right hand out to express such statements.

Laughing Octopus continued to laugh like a crazy person. But then she stopped laughing, like she was gonna gag before…she threw up on the floor. What was seen was a large amount of ink puke splatter on the floor.

"Ugh, how did you even handle having so much inside?" Heather yelps in disgusted reaction that no human being could do that unless they were mutated.

Laughing Octopus recovered enough to let off a chuckle as she slowly stood up.

"Funny." Laughing Octopus exclaimed as she covered her face. "So funny…" She stated on the funny irony of things. "It's all so funny." She stated as the suit was stabilizing and she reveals her true appearance: the Beauty behind the Beast Mode of Laughing Octopus. A 6 feet tall light green anthropomorphic female squid with a beaky mouth, flat web-like feet of a fish, green pattern dots on the forehead and top, and purple color eyes. The uniform was completely changed to become a black and turquoise uniform suit with a white zipper on the chest, and had white gloves with gold cuffs. The other thing was the tentacles on the head style like hair but with two long arm-like tentacles became cybernetic into yellow rumbas limbs.

"What the….you're not even remotely an Octopus!? You're ah…ah…A Squid!?" Heather stared in complete and utter disbelief of having expected a mutated girl but not like this. "Urrrgh, I fail to see the irony on not seeing that one coming of people confusing Octopuses and Squids!? Is this just another joke to you to have your laughs?" Heather felt so upset that she snapped on how her opponent even compel such a joke to be ironic.

"No…" Laughing Octopus exclaimed forth this statement. "It's not funny." She admits this with a strange calm expression while slowly trying to move towards Heather who was alert. "Nothing is funny." She admits this matter as she struggled as Heather step back. "I shouldn't be laughing." She stated as she seem stuck from her equipment cables attach to her gear. "I can't…" She broke away from the cables but yelped from the action. "The truth is…" Laughing Octopus exclaim with something to say. "I'm not laughing. Guhuhuhaaah…" She admits while a loose chuckle came out of her.

"Funny, you seem to be laughing alright to me?" Heather remarked with raised eyebrows at the strange behavior action.

"Not laughing at all." Laughing Octopus exclaim about herself not laughing because of anything funny. "Guh-huh?" She nearly tripped towards Heather when reaching her.

"Hey?" Heather snapped to dodge away, but saw the opponent acting weirdly as if in pain.

"I…I shouldn't be laughing." Laughing Octopus clutch her head, as she pleaded over guilt: as if sounds of laughter and screams are heard in her mind. "I'm scared." She exclaimed from sounding afraid of what she's recalling. "I'm really scared." She admits that she is afraid and was crying out as she struggled to endure this. "Guuuagh!?" Then without warning, she drops to the ground and stares at Heather aiming her Plasma Rifle at her. "I'm sorry." She apologized again out of the blue. "I'm sorry….Guh-hah….So sorry I laughed." She began to crawl as she spoke and got moving by crawling to Heather.

"Ke-ke-Keep back! I don't want to attack but I will!" Heather kept a distance away, feeling like this girl could give Izzy a run for the crazy money.

"Guh-hah…I'm sorry…" Laughing Octopus stood up to plead out another apology in tears. "I won't laugh any more." Then when she was done, she made this sudden vow. "Hugh…I can't…Guhahah…" She gasped while slowly moving to Heather as she felt concern by this odd behavior. "I don't want to…guhuhuhu-Hahahah…" She tries to say this but the loose chuckles blurt out with no restraints.

"The more you say, the more confusing it sounds?" Heather was feeling very suspicious of her opponent trying to make sense while she was laughing like a complete and total lunatic. "Better play it safe?" Heather used her Mutant Scouter to scan what news about her enemy:

MUTANT: LAUGHING OCTOPUS – BEAUTY MODE

TYPE: MUTANT CEPHALOPOD - SQUID

RANK: A-

POWER LEVEL: 166,000

Information: The Total Drama family member was once known as Paula, Lindsey's sister. Was mutated into a squid girl using the mutated DNA of a powerful A-Rank Mutant Beast related to a kraken type. But due to a drawback of being a normal average girl enduring the strong mutant ooze of a powerful creature needed some help. She was then given some cyborg components to help be more capable in the field. Thus the two tentacles on the head act as shock and whip weapons, and can be use to operate computers via electrical beams.

To compensate using a new mutant tool, was given the persona of another Mal found useful and even provided a suit of armor to help restrain the power level from A to B Rank. Should the Beast Mode meet defeat, the Beauty Mode will engage the enemy, and cause pain to target by touch to transfer untold mental damage that will break the opponent's physical and mental state.

Heather was shocked by the intel and couldn't believe it. But then without warning, the nearby glass windows shatter. The answer was clear, Laughing Octopus was emitting a strange white flame aura that caused unretrain damage to any area. Without warning, the cyber tentacles stretched forth to wrap around Heather as she struggled. But then there were sounds of warfare, gun fire, screams and the likes of those recalling memories of trauma.

"Heather." Laughing Octopus called out to the girl while clutching onto her.

"Aaaaahhhhh!?" Heather groans from the strange sense of torment both physical and mental attacks.

"Heather…." Laughing Octopus called her name as the process continue to harm her foe.

"GET OFF ME!?" Heather shouted before transforming into DJ's Spike Form and repel the strangler with expanding spike action.

"Ugh!?" Laughing Octopus yelped from being tossed aside by the action she didn't see coming.

As Heather tried to recover, the entire area was vibrating as if ghost of war's past were causing an unnatural event. Even Heather herself felt like some parts of her health were suffering tragically. Then the girl remembered that something in the data mention transfer trauma to others, and that was the answer. Laughing Octopus laughed as she got up to approach the now shaken Heather.

"What the heck!? It's as if when she touched me, I felt like I was someone else!?" Heather gripped her head from feeling an uneasy feeling of losing her mind. "Mhhhrum….?" She covered her mouth from almost about to throw up now. "This is not good! If she touches me again, I'm not sure I can survive!?" Heather was already a subject of what made her opponent dangerous, further exposure may become serious.

As Heather tried to keep a distance, she was still hearing the horrifying sounds of terror of someone else's trauma. It was truly a horrible experience, and it felt as it the entire area felt a strange burst wave of energy from the white flame aura coming off of Laughing Octopus as she approached Heather. The enemy let loose little laughs, but then voices of other laughter filled the air that in a word, could drive one crazy.

"The more I try to keep away from her, the more she stalks me!? She maybe one of the kidnap victims, but how else am I suppose to deal with this?" Heather protest on having dealt with fighting enemies, but crazies are an entirely different story.

"Hahahahah…." Laughing Octopus let off laughs that seem like someone finding humor without a care. "AHHHH-Hahahahaaahh…." Then she released a hysterical crazy laughter as more areas began to shatter: it's as if the unknown power in Laughing Octopus was unstable in the host body and with no special armor suit….the power was going wild.

"You left me no choice! It's either you or me!" Heather snapped from having had enough being chased around. "I'll apologize afterwards! Eat Plasma Rifles!" She took her Plasma Rifles to open fire at the target.

"HHhmm…" But Laughing Octopus seemingly dodged the attack while casually walking as laughter echoed in the air. "Laugh!" She addressed on Heather to join the fun, and laugh like she is doing. "Laugh with me!" She exclaimed from more areas shattering and breaking, as if the entire area around Heather was fading to a black and white state.

Heather continued to keep her distance, but it felt like she could still hear the voices, those eerie laughs, the sounds of screams and warlike mayhem. And then without warning the white flame aura spread forth outside Laughing Octopus and swallowed Heather as well. When it was over, the individuals were in some sort of white space that miles all over….it was just a void. And the worse case was that Heather was exhaling as if suffocating while her opponent didn't seem to mind, it's as if she was possessed. All that could be heard….was laughter!?

"Pant-pant…it's like I'm drag into whatever this thing is in her mind?" Heather exhaled from feeling the pressure of being in this weird place. "But if you think I'll go along quietly…you're DEAD WRONG!" Heather decided to stop holding back and used the Plasma Grenades. "BAM!" The few scattered managed to completely catch the enemy off guard in the explosion.

"UUuugh!?" Laughing Octopus yelped from suffering such a major damage blow.

Heather witnessed that she can deal damage, so Heather decided to try to use what she had to keep Laughing Octopus busy. Just as Laughing Octopus grabbed Heather, she pulled a surprise by turning into water while leaving behind active Plasma Grenades that was stack to be like a real body. "BAMM-BAM-BOOM!" The explosive force from the blast did the trick while Heather transform from her liquid state to watch the scene play out…

"UUUghhh!?" That last damage act caused Laughing Octopus to stop and look ready to collapse. "AAAARRRRAARRRRUUGH!?" She let off a scream and suddenly a flash of white flames erupted all over.

When the flashy scene was over, Heather discovered they were back where they started and no longer in the white void.

"Hahahahaha-WAaahahahahaha…." Laughing Octopus continued to let loose nonstop laughter until… "UUgh!?" She stopped to gasp, heart beats began to be heard. "Oooohh…Wahhh-Oooh!?" She dropped to her knees with a widen shock expression. "Aaaaah-Ugh!?" Another gasp before the white flame aura emerge before shattering into thousands of pieces off her body. And in the next moment, she lost control and her front fell to the floor looking half-unconscious.

"Hugh….this is?" Heather raised an eyebrow, completely puzzled by this action.

"Hahahahahhahah-HAhahhAAaahhhh!?" The voice of Laughing Octopus as if it was those pieces of little white flame aura particles circling around the fallen body. The white particles flutter around the body in a spiral motion while echoes of different laughing are heard: some even sounded childish. The host body moved before it suddenly fell into a fatal position while Heather watch the madness until it and the strange laughter had ended: which the last bit sounded almost like a giggle from babies.

"Is….is she…?" Heather was a bit unsure if her opponent was knockout or possibly… "Hey…Paula, are you…?" She approached to check if the mutated squid girl was either alive or not, and…

Heather almost jumped but she heard light snores from the mutant girl's body: it's as if Paula was resting and the different persona of Laughing Octopus had left her.

"She's alive!" Heather exclaimed from realizing this situation was a good thing. "Ugh…at least I won't have to get an earful of Lindsey saying I was too rough on her sister…" Heather stopped her voice when she heard laughing babies giggles in the air before it faded. "Okay, ugh…I think that battle took more out of me. I need to get out?" Heather truly felt like she was pass the point of having endured the worse Total Drama challenges, and she needs to fallback before encountering more powerful threats.

Just then the com-link was ringing, causing Heather to yelp a bit while thinking it was her allies. She sat down beside sleeping Paula before answering the com-link device on her scouter.

"Yo Heather! Looking good today." Drebin's voice replied with the ever confident and cocky salesman attitude.

"Ugh Drebin. What do you want?" Heather groans from having to hear this guy all of a sudden.

"That's cold, gal. And here I was about to tell one of my very best customer about the situation." Drebin expressed himself on wanting to be on the girl's best term.

"Situation?" Heather raised an eyebrow after hearing that.

"Yeah, word got around you having defeated one of the Winds of Destruction has spread." Drebin state on the big achievement that has become the hottest war scoop.

"Ugh, somebody's done their homework on what's happen just now?" Heather groans to slap her forehead, not needing to deal with other problems if everyone knows what she did.

"Hey, it's my job." Drebin complimented the matter on how every good businessmen keeps up on the latest news.

"Is that the real reason you had some of us injected with those nanomachines? To spy on me?" Heather questioned about what they allowed Drebin to do and now he can locate them to observe their action.

"I prefer the term 'customer data management,' myself." Drebin humbly stated on correcting how to approach such matters.

"Drebin…" Heather sounded annoyed, feeling like anymore of such things and she won't hold back.

"Relax! It's strictly confidential. I ain't gonna share it with anybody." Drebin stated on not about to sell out a customer's location; that's bad for business.

"Then what's with the weird effects I had earlier when you injected me with nanomachines?" Heather raised an eyebrow to question the guy's attempt after what she received to use advance weaponry.

"Come again?" Drebin asked from thinking this was the first he's heard of it.

"When I fought one of those mind controlled relatives, those white flame auras did something to me. Are you saying it wasn't in the nanomachines you injected?" Heather demanded to know if this act was not due to having nanomachines in her mutated system.

"Look, you do know there are other folks who could've done this to you." Drebin stated on making a valid point about other parties involved. "And besides, what would I gain from causing such weird symptoms to you? It might be a trigger act with the mutated DNA." The guy brought up a good point that Drebin's not held responsible. "Better for me that you're all out there kicking butts on the battlefield." Heather had some doubts but there was no solid arguments to fallback on. "I was watching you, Heather. You're a real piece of work." The guy praises the old Queen bee herself on having perform well. "Never thought I'd meet somebody who could take down both Mistral and Laughing Octopus single-handedly." Drebin compliments on the excellent act of Heather's part to weaken Mal's forces.

"Huuuugh….well it was not easy. I thought I was dealing with just one A and B, not two A Rank threats." Heather signs from feeling this job had more risk then she was anticipating.

"Well Laughing Octopus was in a control state, but you know what's really something. She just kept on laughing. Now why do you suppose that is?" Drebin pondered to ask the question about why the fallen BB member still laughed on even to the end.

"Uuuuuagh….considering it was an alternate persona Mal's side implanted into the host. I say the second visitor's act was something in her past, right?" Heather moans to feel like it was something along those lines; after what she saw last time with other victims.

"You got it. The persona of Laughing Octopus came from a village in Scandinavia – little seaside hamlet known to all the locals as the Devil's Village." Drebin explained the history of where the one called Laughing Octopus originated from. "Place wasn't known for devils, though. It was known for octopus." He mention an interesting fact about the village and what it's known for.

"Seriously?" Heather raised an eyebrow, seeing there was some connection of the use of 'octopus' in all this.

"See, this was one of the few places in Europe where they ate octopus customarily." Drebin stated on what the side of such a place enjoyed eating seafood like octopus in meals. "Anyway, there's this cult of crazies who for some reason hate the village, with a passion." When the guy mentioned this, Heather suddenly got a bad feeling. "Then, when the persona of Laughing Octopus was just a teenager, things get bad." He stated on what happened next that changed one's life.

"Bad as in what precisely?" Heather raised an eyebrow, uncertain she'll like what she hears.

"These nutcases get their hands on some weapons and attack the village. Overnight, her sleepy little fishing town becomes a war zone." Drebin goes into details of what events transpire that happen. "They round up all the villagers and execute them one by one." Now things were getting real serious on what happen long ago. "Except for that girl. The one who became Laughing Octopus." Drebin issued on who was the only survivor at that time.

"Ugh, I'm gonna hate to ask, but why?" Heather groans from having an unpleasant feeling about this.

"They had something else planned for her, something a whole lot worse than dying." Drebin mentions this major fact of what happen to such a poor soul. "Calling her the Devil's Child, they forced her to do the kind of thing you'd expect from one of Lucifer's own." He explained what occurred that would really shake one's skin to the bone.

"Worse then what I and the other villains of Total Drama series have done?" Heather was starting to really hate this, and she hate it more on what came next to hear.

"After they made her torture her family and friends, they made her kill 'em." Drebin stated on what was done to Laughing Octopus that was a cruel measure. "The whole time they were forcing her to laugh, howl like some sort of demon. Like she was enjoying it." Drebin explain the harsh thing that some folks would do just cause they can.

"Woah, okay….that's too much!? Urgh…I'm gonna be sick?" Heather clutch her stomach and mouth, like she was gonna puke from a green face action.

"Yeah, you can imagine how it was for Laughing Octopus. What was she gonna do, say no? They'd kill her, too." Drebinb exclaimed on what was being done when the poor soul was young. "So she let fear control, and did exactly as they told her." When Heather heard this, she knew it was not gonna be pleasant. "She butchered the bodies of the ones she loved, and laughed while she did it." Yep, Heather about threw up while recovering from having heard that. "And as she bathed in their blood, it gradually turned from deep red to jet black." When Drebin mentioned this, Heather was almost uncertain if that's the truth. "To her, it looked like the ink of an octopus." That last part did explain how the opponent could use ink for such measurements and counterattacks.

"Urgh….the more I hear, the more I'm afraid my meal might turn out to be black?" Heather moans from being unable to contain the urge to not throw up; but she puked in the end.

"The experience scarred her deep. Ever since then, she hasn't stopped laughing." Drebin explained the rest of the case of what would eventually lead to Laughing Octopus' character. "Only, that ain't really laughter." When he mentioned this, it was easy to know such laughs were not of one's own accord.

"What are you telling me this? You expect me to feel sorry for her?" Heather raised an eyebrow from knowing Laughing Octopus was no joke; not after having seen the enemy kill off those Mike-Alike clones.

"Nah." Drebin replied from knowing that isn't it at all. "I know you got no room for that stuff in your world. And besides, this is war…Right?" Drebin made a point, in war times, there's no room for feeling sorry for the other guys. "In a way, though, I guess it was the right thing to do." Drebin comments to say on the outcome here.

"What was?" Heather asked from not sure what Drebin was getting at.

"Fighting you cleansed her mind." Drebin stated on what was the end result that the enemy wanted. "Mal may have taken the persona from the original that needed to live longer, but even in another host body…You helped free her and your friend of their suffering."

"Me saving others, that might shock anyone if they knew such a thing?" Heather remarked on how seriously weird that sounds.

"All right, enough chit-chat. There's other beasts out there in them woods. So you and your pals watch your back." Drebin issued to have Heather focus on taking out more elite baddies. "Looks like you're energy is pretty low, my systems telling me that your mutated DNA is experiencing….change? I'll signal your friends to arrange a pickup for you and the freed tentacles. Hold out till then…" Drebin stated on what he do which might be a free of charge kind of service.

With enough said, Heather signs to relax near the sleeping Paula. At least Heather was glad to have survive from the weapons she got, but she may have to find ways to get stronger against such opponents.

-HEATHER'S VIDEO-

"Ugh…I don't know why, but ever since that battle…I've felt a quzzy feeling?" Heather was feeling unwell; her body was emitting a strange glow and her body was changing without her hold. "Ohh…Maybe having naomachines with mutated bodies was not a good mix?...Ugh…I feel…so strange? I can't control my shape-shifting powers? Ahhh…aaaahhhh!?" The girl was feeling a strange sense of pain, as she was unable to resist holding back.

A bright broke through like cracks on the body, and Heather was swallowed by the white sphere. This process it's self slowly showed Heather undergoing a strange transformation that was not shapeshifting but…something else entirely.

"Mutation Evolution…" Heather's soft voice was heard as she announced her condition. As the brightness began to fad, Heather had experienced a change in her appearance. "Rank-Up – Complete!" Now Heather announced her finished transformation.

ATTENTION

*Metamorph Gene-Cells (High Class – Rank Rare)

EVOLUTION CONFIRMED:

*Martian Metamorphic (High Class – Rank Uniquely Rare): The original genetic mutated structure has undergone change. The introduction of nanomachines were alien to the body until an unknown Mutant Energy forced both sides to merge for survival. The pattern could almost be like if there were Martian aliens from Mars. The same shapeshifting power but with plenty of fields to mimic other people or animals, or creatures, even growing extra arms and survive in environments like underwater with gills and a mermaid tail. The body can stretch and bend and limbs can become large whips to grab at great distance. A Healing factor from shape-shifting allows one to heal faster than a human would. Perform Camouflage by bending light waves around to match the surroundings, making one almost invisible. Can perform density shifting that enables to move through solid objects or become incredibly dense and difficult to damage. Three new abilities are given when the nanomachines permanently merged to increase the body and brain areas which involves Super Strength, Telekinesis and Telepathy.

Heather heard the announcement from her Mutant Scouter, and became intrigued. The girl saw a mirror to look and witness the change the girl had and was no longer a blue skin woman like before. Now Heather resembles a white-skinned female humanoid with amber eyes but keeps sclera of the eyes black and red hair pass the shoulders. Then on instantly the body began to cover it's self with a long-sleeved black suit with a red X, black shoes and gain a blue cape.

"What…what's happen to me?" Heather was completely taken back, but she felt different…maybe better then before. "I didn't even take anything to change? But according to this, I've evolved? And I'm stronger then before." Heather couldn't believe such a rare event occurred for herself. "Maybe something good did come out? But I wonder…Was this just my luck or can it happen to the others?" Heather was a bit uncertain if this rare case was hers alone or if others would follow suit.

While Heather figured that out, she used telekinesis to fly without transforming into a bird for wings. Afterwards the camera went dark with the interview being over.

MILITARY BASE SECTOR 7

NEW LOCATION: TOWER PALACE

The scene opens to where we find Duncan flying through the open empty streets while being attacked. There were some Snatch Hunters that were attacking the guy as he was helping some Mike-Alikes on bikes escape by a supply van. For Duncan, he had used his Sagittarius Mode to take aim and blast a few targets right off. Then riding on a motorcycle was someone that slightly had a similar look of Mike, but was clearly more female with red dye pink hair made into curl irons with a short pony tail, light blue eyes plus had a turquoise jewel on her chin and one purple jewel piece on the forehead. She wears a skin tight, yellow and tan armored one-piece bodysuit, lower part of her body is completely artificial cause her legs are prosthetic, shaped in a horse-like manner complete with hooves in place of her feet.

"Listen Hellion was it?" Duncan spoke to the girl driving the bike. "I came here to inspect where to find Mal's big elites, and the first thing that comes my way is you guys tailing me?" The guy felt that this action was distracting him from his real objective.

"Listen well mister punk wolf, you came in the line of our driving path. So we're both in this!" The female Mike clone named Hellion gave him a talking to like the kind from an law office. "I been the law officer keeping the peace and protecting my fellow clones." She issued on what she's been doing during the entire time.

"And you done such a great job? Oh wait, does this not count?" Duncan remarked while slashing a few more enemies along the road path.

"When Mal's army showed up and attack, I fought a few off but I was caught in an explosion." Hellion explained what she has been doing ever since that time. "And you can see the result that I may not have lost my life, but something else." She looked down to her legs, recalling what price was paid.

"Yeah, which explains the robot horse feet!?" Duncan stated from seeing how that must have been bad.

"These artificial legs allow me to become faster than normal to help keep the fight against the Dark One's Army." Hellion stated on knowing that she may have lost something but gain something greater to fight on.

"So you thought raiding their weapons supplies could give you an edge?" Duncan asked about the action that put these guys in such harms way.

"These weapons plus a few Mutagen Cells can give a few that wanna make a difference to live a chance. We can't waste it." Hellion issued on the serious matter on needing these things to help them fight and defeat Mal's army.

"Well alright, if you're that stubborn, who am I to say no?" Duncan shrug off with a sly smile on seeing that daring side of those not quitting.

After making it pass more Snatch Hunters, the van along with Hellion and Duncan went pass outside the abandon city to cross a bridge. But then something flew under the bridge, and came in drones.

"There you are, Duncan!" A mixed female voice with a deep gruff tone called out. "Where's your anger?!" It asked forth as everyone looked to see who was following them. "Show me your rage!" The one calling out was Raging Raven who flew over the gang with wing drones behind.

Duncan was about to engage but Hellion had him focus on the escape path off the bridge. Too bad Raging Raven aimed a weapon that was a grenade launcher off. "BOOM!" The explosion knocked those off balance after escaping the bridge. "BAM-BAM…" Too bad the bombardment continued while those tried to escape before splitting off. Bad news was that Raging Raven's flock followed after Duncan and Hellion as the squawking was not far behind.

"More enemies incoming." Hellion called out from seeing the danger approaching them.

"RAGE!" Raging Raven called forth as she was preparing another attack wave as the wing drones pick up some nearby Snatch Hunters.

"Looks like the Snatch Hunters got picked up for the ride." Duncan stated on witnessing what was making things harder. "Then I'll just bring them down!?" The guy declared on what he'll do to thin the odds.

Duncan used his cyber tools to deal with the Snatch Hunters riding on some drone wings sets to give them flight advantage. Duncan was needing some help to spot a few enemy fliers to take down,

"DUNCAN!" Raging Raven's voice screech throughout the entire empty village street.

"BEHIND YOU!" Hellion screamed to alert Duncan of an incoming threat.

"Way ahead of you! KAISER NAILS!" Duncan declared as his nails glowed bright red. "SLASH!" That attack sliced the tank car in half like it was nothing.

"Good going, but we're not done. Enemy ahead!" Hellion warn Duncan of an incoming flier at 12 o' clock.

Duncan continued to attack by his close melee and his range shot moves to take down any foe be them on the ground or in the air. But with so many enemy troops rounding up in tank cars and attacking by air strike, it's a wonder how one guy can take on an army. The real threat was the screeching sounds of Raging Raven and her drones around the area.

"They're gunning us down." Hellion alert Duncan of the enemy attack on their left side.

Duncan was becoming tired from having fought and run like crazy, so he pulled out a few Plasma Weapons he acquired from Drebin to help give the werewolf punk an easier time. That helped take out a few more nearby opponents while they were on the move to escape.

"You okay?" Duncan asked the girl on her health-wise state.

"I'm fine…How much longer?" Hellion replied while wondering how long they need to hold out.

"You don't want me to answer." Duncan looked around back and gave a vague answer.

"Damn it!" Hellion cursed their luck on what Duncan was getting at.

"TAKE THIS!" Raging Raven roared forth from having the prey in one's sights.

"Duncan, behind us!" Hellion exclaim with worry that a strong enemy was not far.

"Drive like your life depends on it!" Duncan issued on hoping they can outrun the opponent.

There were multiple explosions before Duncan's group drove into a tunnel. After the bombing stopped, the group felt that they lost the enemy. Raging Raven was outside the tunnel, and screech with anger to fly off. After a while Duncan and Hellion rejoin the van, and believed they were safe. But the squawk sound told them wrong when a drone wing pack spotted them and fired a missile. "BOOM!" The explosion knocked everyone off and tumbled on the ground.

"Ugh, I'm starting to question that angry chick!?" Duncan groans from the slight roughness of the crash: but his thoughts got interrupted by the present company. "Hey, you okay?" Duncan went to check on Hellion who suffered a damage robot leg part.

"Ugh, a law officer's work is never done? Where's the van?" Hellion lightly stated to ignore her injury while focus on their main task.

"Over there." Duncan points to the topple van nearby.

"ARrrrrrrr!?" Then another metallic squawk noise alerted those of someone was nearby: Raging Raven and her drones were on the move.

"Ugh, the others?" Hellion groans while asking about those apart of her group.

Duncan inspected the van to find Hellion's Mike-Alike pals, only to see the driver and passenger out cold. Duncan slowly pulled them out while noticing that they suffered injuries. These guys won't be able to do much of anything until they wake up.

"She'll be coming to search the van." Hellion spoke up to Duncan to alert him of Raging Raven's pursuit.

"Then I'll take care of it. You stay here and keep watch. You got buddies that need caring." Duncan insisted that Hellion protect her own while he deals with the big threat.

"Duncan, come back in one piece." Hellion request that the punk wolf be safe.

"Heh, I will." Duncan laughed off from finding that statement funny.

Duncan leaves Hellion and her unconscious group behind. The guy may have been a typical bad boy punk, but he's slowly been coming around. Duncan was then seen going up a flank of stairs in the tower structure, deciding to get a better angile of spotting targets while in a good hiding spot. The loud squawk noise clued the guy in on who he may run into.

"Great, I must be a magnet for angry girls?" Duncan remarked this about himself: the times when Courtney was mad at him for dating Gwen and Gwen mad at him for still thinking about Courtney. "Let's just hope this one ends a bit more peacefully, but that's wishful thinking."

Then the crow caw noises were getting louder, which made Duncan become a bit more on alert. "BAM!" Too bad the answer came from the destruction of a wall nearby. Duncan shielded his eyes from the debris clouds, but heard some flying machine noise from jetpacks. As the dust cleared, Duncan was now staring face to face with the next B&B Corps member – Raging Raven!

"Give me your anger, Duncan!" Raging Raven roared forth the bold and furious tone mixture on what she wants.

"Seriously?! Why all the rage?" Duncan remarked from having heard that line too many times.

"Let it boil to the surface!" Raging Raven demands the guy get angry for her. "Let your fury flow freely!" She twirl her head from wanting one's anger to cut loose. "Anger begets anger!" She snapped from knowing only one's rage can empower them to fight another who's raging mad. "Come on, show me your rage!" Raging Raven was taunting and demanding to see such anger be unleashed from the punk of Total Drama.

That's when Raging Raven leans backwards out the open hole in the wall before igniting her jetpacks. The sudden power of thrusters were directed at Duncan who yelped to tuck and roll out of the way. Lucky thing too because he witness some lit candles in the room: the wax was melting and they became enflamed.

"Oooouch!?" Duncan yelped from feeling his exposed tail get burn from the heat source even when hiding behind a pillar.

"Rage!" Raging Raven rebalanced herself outside to announce this. "RAGE!" She yelled again before blasting off into the air. "Ready yourself!" She announced as Duncan hid behind a pillar again when seeing her fly. "Here I come!" Raging Raven declared she was coming for her prey.

Raging Raven ignited her thrusters to fly off towards the left side. But Duncan used his Mutant Scouter to get a readout of what he's really dealing with here:

MUTANT: RAGING RAVEN – BEAST MODE

TYPE: MUTANT BIRD

RANK: B+

POWER LEVEL: 76,000

Information: A captive member from the S.S. Total Drama cruise ship, dump in Mutagen Ooze with the DNA of an octopus. Mal then implanted a different persona to create a female soldier with enhanced mutant abilities followed by special suits to turn one into incredible combatants. However the persona had suffered from intense Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by the horrors of war. The two combined in a host body cause an unsettling side-effect where a special suit keeps the new life in control but if the gear is removed will weaken and almost face termination and free the dormant will.

One of the more agile members of the Beauty and the Beast Unit, Raging Raven is a meld of aerial superiority and emotional wreckage. Attacks with a flock of unmanned Slider weapons, and used the Sliders to fly herself. Carries a Milkor MGL-140 grenade launcher into battle. The grenade launcher is her primary weapon, but also utilizes a series of missiles located on the wing. Using the Sliders to gather intelligence, Raging Raven formulates her attacks based on finely detailed situation awareness. Driven by her rage, the vernier rockets flared hotter the angrier she became.

Raging Raven sometimes attacks her foes by ramming into them at high speeds with her wings, effectively slicing them, and could attack by burning her enemies with the rocket fuel from the jetpack. Also has the ability to grab foes with her talon-like feet, carrying them to great heights, and dropping them. After sustaining sufficient damage, the rockets would overheat, and would have to make a temporary landing in order for them to cool down.

Just then explosions occurred on the wall sides, forcing Duncan to climb up more stairs. But pretty much the enemy was following his path to attack by destroying anything that provides cover.

"Great, I may have dealt with normal angry girls, but this one REALLY takes the cake!?" Duncan

"SHOW YOURSELF!" Raging Raven roared forth from trying to pinpoint where Duncan was hiding.

"You want me?" Duncan spoke off from his hiding spot while his equipment was powering up. "Then here you go! ALNAS SHOT!" That's when he used a double laser cannon to accurately pink off the enemies.

Duncan's attacks destroyed a portion of some pillar beams while a few managed to make slight contacts against Raging Raven when she flew overhead. But then Duncan yelped when some unmannered Slider Drones were flying around. Duncan had no time to waste and continued using Alnas Shot to help thin down the enemy numbers.

"Heh, like shooting fish in a barrel, only more like it's in the air?" Duncan crack a sly smile, liking how this feels like something he enjoy if it's a video game.

But the loud squawk noise was enough to make Duncan return his focus on the battle. The enemy was attacking, and because the location was on a tall tower, if the building's supports go….so does everyone on it.

"Take this!" Raging Raven announced from firing her grenade launcher at Duncan.

"BOOM!" Duncan managed to escape being hit by that move as the explosion destroyed another block wall spot. "Nice shot! Now try my!" Duncan issued from deciding to keep hammering things on with range attacks.

"Rage!" Raging Raven cried forth as she flies upwards after firing another grenade. "BAM!" The grenade exploded right around where Duncan was hiding.

"Cough-cough…" Duncan coughed from the smoke before trying to see where his opponent flew off towards. "BOOM!/Guuuagh!?" But because of the less structure block, an attack blew up and knock Duncan across the tower's limited space.

"ARRRRrrghhh!" Raging Raven squawks as she was preparing another attack. "BOOM!" Soon another outside pillar structure blew up, revealing Duncan's position.

"You know sometimes, it's a good advantage to find your target. But it can also be reverse!" Duncan was seen aiming his laser cannons forth.

"BAM!/Guuurgh!?" Raging Raven yelped from the damage she has suffered from unexpected act before repositioning herself. "Take this!" She announced from having her Grenade Launcher fired forth.

"BAM!/GAAAurgh!?" Duncan yelped from being blasted back without warning. "Okay, overconfidence can lead to downfall."

"Rage!" Raging Raven was seen afar as she fired another attack, but so did Duncan from his long-range attacks. "Guuuargh-Huuuh!?" Raging Raven yelped from the injury while flying downwards and flew up higher. "Kill him!" Raging Raven gave the order to finish off Duncan.

After Duncan managed to land another hit on Raging Raven, the Slider Drones were coming around. The drones began bombardment around the tower to destroy any covering Duncan could use. The werewolf guy used his cyber components to quickly escape the attacks but heard squawking from Raging Raven on the move too. But first there were some drones providing cover that Duncan took out with the laser cannons.

"BOOM!" Course that gave Raging Raven a chance to attack when Duncan was distracted. "KABLAM!/Gooooohh!?" Then from another grenade attack caused a yelping Duncan to roll across the area.

"Take this!" Raging Raven announced from preparing another attack.

Duncan recovered to take aim but the opponent flew off. Then multiple explosions were heard as Duncan yelped from the drones firing missiles. But then Duncan got lucky to hit damage to force a yelping Raging Raven to land on the rooftops to let her rocket pack cool down to recover.

"Rage!" Raging Raven roared with fury as she took off to head for Duncan.

"Uh-oh!? I don't like the looks of that?" Duncan yelps of what he's afraid of is about to come his way.

Raging Raven flew directly at Duncan, and the guy ran. Soon Raging Raven had her mechanical wings at like cutters to slice through the final structures that were in the way. Causing parts of the rooftop to crumble and fall down. Duncan yelped from everything landing on his head. When it was over, Raging Raven flew over the rubble to inspect the work of burying her target.

"Bold move! But now that means you're on the ground!" Duncan's voice issued from knowing this was the moment he waited for.

"Arrrrugh!?" Raging Raven roared with rage as she looked around, trying to find where her prey escaped.

"CIRCLE MOON KICK!" Duncan launched up from the rubble debris to perform a backflip with his legs stretched out for a kick motion.

"KICK!/Oooooohhh!?" Raging Raven yelped from the kick blow during the backflip action.

"And for the finale! FOX FIRE!" Duncan declared from deciding to deal the final blow here. "POWvvhmmmm…" That's when Duncan breaths out an intense blue flame when near the target.

"AAaahhhh!?" Raging Raven yelped as the blue flames made impact with her. "GRRUUARRRRRGHHHHH!?" Raging Raven screams as her jet thrusters were smoking, and she was unable to pilot herself.

"Heh, can't stand the heat…get out of the kitchen." Duncan gins to act cocky from having finally beaten a member of the B&B Corp.

"ARRRRUGH!?" Raging Raven yells as she suddenly charged forth at Duncan from an out of control flight dive.

"WOOoah!?" Duncan yelped because Raging Raven used her claw feet to snatch Duncan off. "I like girls who can't keep their hands off me, but not like this!?" The guy issued as he struggled to break free of a flying girl who was still somewhat on fire.

That's when Raging Raven carried Duncan off away from the tower as the werewolf struggled to get free. But not too far away, Dallas and Juanita were actually seen in the general direction.

"Okay Juanita, I think we found the next hot spot." Dallas smiled to boast about where they can get some exciting stuff.

"It better be Dallas, we may have gotten good reviews. But we all know who's not pleased." Juanita issued to remind the guy of problems they are facing on their side.

"Right, if the big cheese is not feeling pleased, then it'll be a costly matter." Dallas issued from knowing how Mal likes things that entertain him.

"Namely our jobs. So where's this big battle we need to show?" Juanita remarked on how they need to further improve or else they might pay a price.

"It's somewhere around Juanita, the next big action! I'll know it when I see it!" Dallas stated on trying to look around for a big scope.

"Like that?" Juanita blankly pointed at something ahead of them.

That's when Dallas and Juanita yelped when Raging Raven carried Duncan, but accidentally crashed into them. The mutated host yelped while rebalancing themselves to see Raging Raven spiral a bit out of control.

"WWwoooah!? Talk about fast news?" Dallas stated from fixing his suit from the rough action they endured.

"That was Raging Raven, and she appeared to have snatched prey." Juanita issued from recognizing one of Mal's elite types.

"You're right Juanita, I believe that was Total Drama member Duncan." Dallas complimented after recognizing another Total Drama person like Duncan.

"Quickly, let's follow! There maybe more things to cover!" Juanita issued on wanting to not miss such an exciting event.

"RAAARRRRR!?" Raging Raven roared as she spiral down towards another location by a strange tower building.

"GUUUAaugh!?" Duncan yelped as he and Raging Raven crashed against a pillar that scatter them apart. "Ugh, I think next time I'll use my own wing power then let some crazy angry girl steer me around? Speaking of which…?" Duncan rubbed his aching head while trying to recall what happened to him and the enemy.

After recovering from the crash landing, Duncan slowly picked himself up but noticed something odd about his opponent. Raging Raven hovered off the ground but the body was smoking from the flames attack and sparks surging out of the body of an electrical problem. As Raging Raven just hovers there, Duncan got up with his sharp blade emitted from the cyber arms to act as handheld for his hands and acting arms.

"You bastards…pant…" Raging Raven spoke as if cursing those out of the blue while exhaling from being exhausted. "I'll never forgive you…" She issued this off as her metallic wings flap as she hovers off the ground still. "Never!" Raging Raven announced who she vows to never forgive. "UUURRARRRRGH!?" She lets off an agonizing scream as if in pain.

"Hey, maybe you should try calming down a bit?" Duncan lightly remark on how this situation was playing out.

"I can feel the anger building up inside…" Raging Raven exclaimed in outrage while her Slider Wings flapped very hard to almost blow things away. "Eating away at me." She cross the metallic wings and stretch them outward: which release black feathers. "WAAARRRRUUU-AAARRRRRRUUUGH!?" That's when Raging Raven released a loud agonizing scream as untold materialized black feathers scattered.

"Uuugh…what's with the feathers?" Duncan yelped from the out of control feather storm.

"No…No…" Then Raging Raven suddenly began to speak up now. "I'll never forgive myself." She began to state things as if it's not about others, but herself. "I don't want to be angry." Slowly the metallic wings began to enclose around herself; just as the black feathers were turning white while she sounded like she was crying. "I don't need anger." She issued this forth as a ton of scatter white feathers circle around Raging Raven. "I'm not angry." As she declared this, the rotation of so many white feathers started to light up around the girl.

"Okay, something weird is going on? Very weird still is what happens afterwards?" Duncan raised an eyebrow from finding this confusing and uncertain.

That's when Duncan heard mechanical armor components opening. And dropping across the ground were the talon feet, armor pieces, the Grenade Launcher, even the pilot helmet mask. The helmet rolled across the ground for a bit until it landed where Duncan saw the words 'Raging Raven' label on it: kinda like a call sign for pilots to have nicknames in the air.

"I'm SCARED!" Raging Raven roared out as her metallic wings spread forth and released the white feathers that somewhat became red.

At that very moment, Raging Raven descended down slowly while having been separated from the Slider Wing pack. The enemy has now removed much of her armor protection.

"Aaaahhhh!?" Raging Raven yelped as she touch the ground but lost her balance. "GUUAGH-HAaaahhh!?" She was in a kneel position after catching her breath. Upon close examination, Duncan was able to see what the Beauty was behind the Beast of Raging Raven. A 5.11 feet tall humanoid female creature resembling a waterfowl. The plumage is mostly dark blue, except for the light blue on its shoulders and tail, along with the white on its head, neck, chest, and individual tail feathers. The face has blue eyes and a pointed yellow beak. Atop the head is a large, flowing, slick, dark blue crest, with long light blue and orange-red feathers at the front, separating the crest from the head. Its forearms have three sets of feathers, each tipped with light blue; and it has what resembles hands with three 'fingers' each. Additional light blue accents decorate its waist and legs. The yellow feet have bulbous segments with three toes each; the front-most segments are orange in color. Has a defined rump and an elaborate-looking tail, with a circular base and three teardrop-shaped feathers decorating it at the top, along with two chains consisting of three feathers flanking it on either side.

"Um, okay…I was expecting a mutated raven, and it appears she's…some kinda duck or swan thing?" Duncan raised an eyebrow from having seen Raging Raven's mutated Beauty form: truly he was not expecting such a thing. "Hey now, I'm just asking here but….are you okay now?" Duncan asked cautiously, uncertain if whoever was the victim having their body used by a new persona was freed or not.

But then the weirdest thing occurred, as if Duncan was seeing an illusion of…crows!? These shadow ravens were making 'caw-caw' noises as they flapped around the alert Raging Raven who felt their presence.

"Aaaahhhhh!? Help me!" Raging Raven screamed as she crawl backwards and pleaded to wave her arms up as if defending from attacking ravens. "The birds are pecking at my flesh!" She screamed as if feeling the birds want to eat her alive. "And my soul!" She issued from the fearful trauma of the birds wanna devour her entire being. "Please, please make them stop!" She waved her arms all over, wanting the horrible things to not come near her. "I don't need more hate! I've had enough!" She pleaded as she clutch her head, as if struggling against the horrors of the memory. "Help! AAaaaaahhhh!?" Raging Raven cried forth for mercy as she screamed, then after throwing down her fist on the ground, apparently Raging Raven had cease her delusion.

"Um, that was weird? Weirder then what I'm use to seeing?" Duncan exclaimed from having witness such a weird action of someone losing themselves. "Maybe you need to see a doctor or something…" The guy was offering a bit of advice, but…

"Pant-heh-pant…" Raging Raven pants from feeling exhausted right now. "Ugh?" Suddenly her suit began to emit a bright light and she crawled a bit near Duncan.

"Let me out of this cage." Raging Raven muttered as she slowly was getting up. "I don't need these wings." She turn to expose her backside, as if stating the mechanical Slider Wings were no longer necessary. "I don't need this rage." She slowly clutches her fist from her front and stretch the arms out.

Suddenly while stretching, a strange white aura was emitting off her, precisely like fire. Duncan felt concern when seeing this, and knew that even if Raging Raven was disarm of her weaponry, that might have been nothing but a shell to keep the real threat in check.

"Gehahahah…" Raging Raven let off a light chuckle before slowly exhaling and turn around to face Duncan. "Come." She spoke with a soft tone in her voice. "Let your anger flow." She issued to stretch out her right hand, asking Duncan to release his anger.

Raging Raven slowly walked but also spiral around like she was dancing. And when she stopped, would happily point at Duncan, as if inviting him. Duncan stares into Raging Raven's eyes, there was something very wrong, very-very wrong here.

"Hmmmm? I got a bad feeling about this, and my guts don't lie?" Duncan could feel a threat creeping over to make his werewolf fur stand on edge even against a disarm opponent.

Realizing what sort of situation awaits the werewolf guy, Duncan used the Mutant Scouter. And that allowed him to determine what sort of opponent he's got to deal with:

MUTANT: RAGING RAVEN – BEAUTY MODE

TYPE: MUTANT BIRD - FOWLBIRD

RANK: A-

POWER LEVEL: 176,000

Information: The Total Drama family member was once known as Jane, Sky's sister. Was mutated into a bird girl using the mutated DNA of several C-Rank Mutant Beast related to the best qualities of birds. From the fastest, strongest, intelligent, to even those with defensive and offensive capabilities, and even ones that can dance. The result gave birth to a waterfowl beauty fighter. Evidence believes Jane was a very capable human girl to bring such results. However, the stability of different bird factors made her hard to control flight maneuvers, and control of feathers when unleashed as attacks. The additional factors used to boast performance make one as dangerous as an A-Rank Mutant Beast.

To compensate using a new mutant tool, was given the persona of another Mal found useful and even provided a suit of armor to help restrain the power level from A to B Rank. Should the Beast Mode meet defeat, the Beauty Mode will engage the enemy, and cause pain to target by touch to transfer untold mental damage that will break the opponent's physical and mental state.

"Sky's sister? Well now this feels like a pun for those that can take to the sky? Literally more then I expected." Duncan was seriously shocked at the victim of the kidnap Total Drama cruise ship; worse of all, her power level skyrocket like crazy.

Duncan was then surprised that Raging Raven was slowly walking towards him. But then the guy heard strange angry screaming voices and squawking bird calls in the air. Duncan used his Sagittarius Mode's arms to stretch attack, but the mutated fowl bird girl managed to dodge like…a graceful dancing swan.

"Seriously!? As if she wasn't hard to hit before when she flew around on jetpacks?" Duncan raised an eyebrow from seeing someone have these tricks up their sleeves.

"Huuuugh!?" Raging Raven yelped but ignore the pain to move onward.

No matter what Duncan did to keep Raging Raven away, the girl was not going down even when slightly hurt. The weird thing was hearing the agonizing voices, the wailing screams, and the cry of birds. Duncan tried to shake it off, but then Raging Raven's strange tail feathers hovered off to restrain the werewolf, and then hugged him: which lit him in a white flame aura.

"Ahhhh-Ahhh, What is this!?" Duncan yelped from feeling a strange aura burn his body inside and out. "Get this off!?" He shouted as he struggled to fight the crazy girl holding him.

"Rage…Can you feel it?" Raging Raven exclaimed for Duncan to know the feeling of rage.

Duncan was suffering from the strange effects of the contact. But then a loud thunder noise was heard, and the nearby windows and structure were destroyed and knock Duncan backwards. As Duncan got up, saw the enemy slowly approach him and the werewolf began to understand: the Beauty was more dangerous then the Beast he fought.

"FOX FIRE!/POWWWW!" Duncan took a deep breath before blasting blue flames.

"Uuugh!?" Raging Raven yelped from the blue flames force as it spread on the ground.

While the blue flames cause a distraction, Duncan was hearing the voice of a crying girl. There were voices that said 'shot' before a gunshot was heard in the mind. Before Duncan realized it, his entire scenery was looking a little gray, as if the color was fading without warning. Duncan clutched his head when hearing the sounds of a crying girl and the sounds of beating happen, it was becoming too brutal even for a punk rebel like Duncan to handle.

"Uurrgh….this is becoming unbearable!? I gotta…get away!" Duncan clutch his head, as if struggling to maintain his sanity and logical sense.

"Duncan…." Raging Raven called out to the guy while slowly approaching.

Another thunder noise was heard that caused more structure property damages. Duncan immediately took off into the air, hoping to keep a distance.

"Sayonara!" A male voice was heard as if it was an evil echo of the past.

"Noooo!?" The female voice cried out in horror within the wind.

The caw of ravens were heard as Duncan clutch his head, as if hearing these voices was driving him nuts. More so when noticing his surroundings are becoming more grayer by the second. Another girl's scream caused more thunder boom effects to destroy things before it was revealed to be Raging Raven who leaped upwards to grab hold of Duncan.

"AARRRRAAUUGH!?" Duncan cried out as the white flame auras surround him, making him relive the pain and experience of someone's trauma.

Duncan was flying around the air, hearing the sounds of war from another lifetime and a liberty bell. The roars of screams of men, the cries of women, the unknown damage Duncan was suffering as Raging Raven's white aura flame burn his fur. The thunder booms of the girl's aura destroy more areas while they are in the air.

"Duncan!" Raging Raven spoke the guy's name as if trying to pass her pain to him.

"GET OFF ME NOOOOOW!?" Duncan roared with the raging werewolf side and strength to break his enemy's hold.

"GRRRRAAAARRrrraaaaagh!?" Raging Raven roared with rage when she and Duncan fell out of control from the action.

Both landed on the tall building, and Duncan felt woozy but tried to rush up the stairs. But an explosion occurred as Raging Raven was not far behind him in slowly approaching the guy. The voices of a horrible past continue to be heard, and Duncan wanted to flush them out but he can't even succeed in that.

"How…..how is there is much anger and rage!? THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ANYONE TO BEAR!?" Duncan screamed from never in his whole life gone through hating people, not even the annoying Harold, or when Country was a nagging pain; those were small potatoes to what he's feeling.

Duncan tries to escape the madness as he rushed to getaway, as Raging Raven follows him. The screams and bird flapping wings continue to be heard, but it seem the one in most pain was Raging Raven herself re-experiencing these events. And then finally, the entire scene of gray was overshadow and became…a white void. And the only ones around were Duncan and Raging Raven.

"Okay it's official, if this isn't me getting into Heaven, then I'm worried what the Devil's Underworld looks like?" Duncan

The strangeness of being in this white void was affecting Duncan's animal instincts, as if telling him to escape this never-ending cage. Then Raging Raven seem slower, as the voices and horrors almost seem to die out but she seem to struggle. But Duncan saw that she still wanted to come into contact, to remove what's on her and transfer it to him.

"Duncan…" Raging Raven called out as she slowly tried to reach with her feathers launched forth.

"Woah now….I know the game, and now with those voices gone…" Duncan yelps as he duck and dodge those feathers before preparing a counterattack. "I'm ending this! WEREWOLF KICK!" The guy strikes with a powerful kick forth against the feathers and where Raging Raven was.

"UUuughhh…Aaaaugh!?" Raging Raven yelped from the first few blows that removed some feather defense.

"I'm ending this!" Duncan tries to aim right with Alnas Shot as he feels he has wiped out half of the enemy's remaining half.

But Raging Raven was able to dodge with her dance moves to evade the including shots. Duncan decides to go from range to close combat, and used his energize cyber-limb blades to do it. And then dealt a blow when Raging Raven least expected it.

"AAAaughhh!?" Raging Raven yelped from the damage she felt, but still did not give in to slowly approach him. "HHHuuagh!?" Then she dodged the next attack before having grabbed hold of Duncan: as the white aura flame ignited.

"Grrrrrr…." Duncan groans from feeling the effects of one's rage try to do him harm.

"Duncan…" Raging Raven called out, wanting him to embrace the rage.

"That's my…name….don't…" Duncan slowly grit his teeth, as he tries to find strength when his opponent is not watching and drop their guard. "Wear it out! BALDY BLOW!" That's when Duncan channeled his last strength into his left fist for a straight up punch to the enemy's exposed gut.

"POW!/AAaaahhh!?" That final hit managed to knock Raging Raven to release Duncan: then drop down slightly. "AAAAAaaahhhhhh!?" She then released a painful cry scream straight into the air.

That's when the entire white void flash a bright light, blinding everyone's eyes. Duncan shielded his eyes until it was over, and to his surprise found himself…out of the white void and back in the real world.

"GYYAAAAAAAARRHHH-AAAAaaahhhhhh…." Raging Raven was seen screaming as countless white feathers were fluttering around her. "WWAAAARRRAAaaahhhhhh!?" She continued to scream upwards as if something was happening to her.

Then without warning, Raging Raven cease screaming, and her body began to drop downward. She landed backwards before landing a bit hard while a strange liberty bell was heard. As the feathers of light flutter around, Raging Raven twitch a bit as if still reacting.

"Hmmm? What now?" Duncan raised an eyebrow, observing the strange action.

That's when Raging Raven was seen struggling to move her body's limbs to hold into a fatal position. As if trying to calm herself while the swirling white feathers rotate around.

"Huuugh?" Duncan replied completely puzzled, yet approach cautiously. "Ugh…is it over now?" Duncan pondered from not sure if this was his victory or…

But the answer was obvious when looking at the signs of breathing movement. The one before Duncan was now just Jane, as if sleeping peacefully now that the trauma of Raging Raven seems to have disappeared. In fact Duncan noticed that at the same time, the white feathers of energy also disappeared; signaling the battle against the B&B Corps member Raging Raven – was his victory.

"Hmmm?" Duncan then noticed the strange leftover parts of Raging Raven's armor, from the Slider Wings to the Grenade Launcher. Then without warning, a beeping noise was heard on the com-link and Duncan picked it up to answer.

"Way to bring that bird down, Duncan." Drebin was heard on the line giving praiseworthy compliments to Duncan's performance.

"Drebin…last guy I expected to hear?" Duncan grumbled from hearing this guy call him out of the blue.

"And you got yourself a souvenir, too." Drebin stated on seeing what Duncan got after beating Raging Raven. "A grenade launcher. Nice!" He issued from finding such a weapon to be pretty much up there. "That's a real user-friendly weapon." He stated on how the grenade launcher is perfect for handling 'friendly' encounters of enemies.

"Yeah not much use to me without those ID thingys, though." Duncan shrug off from knowing he can't use because of the system that controls who can fire select weapons.

"I'll launder this one free of charge. Either for you or your pals." Drebin simply stated what he do as a pleasure point of his deed.

"What's the catch?" Duncan asked from raising an eyebrow, nobody does something free of charge without a catch.

"Only that you give it to me when you're done with it." Drebin simply stated that he like the weapon in his possession when it's use is over. "A weapon with that many decades of rage stored up inside it – now that's a collector's item." He stated on how the grenade launcher has seen many battles, it's practically something to show off as a trophy.

"Yeah, well she was packing a lot of rage alright. It started to effect me too." Duncan issued from recalling how when he fought Raging Raven, she had more anger and rage issues then anyone he knows. "How old was she? The persona that was controlling Sky's sister Jane?" Duncan asked a question that's been on the mind.

"If we're talking about Raging Raven, I'd say about 20. But she had years of soldiers' rage hidden away in that youthful body of hers. At least before Mal found her and transplanted her persona in a new younger host." Drebin replied off to say while explaining a tale about Raging Raven's origin.

"Wait! What do you mean…Soldiers?" Duncan asked from finding that a bit hard to swallow.

"Yeah. The soldiers of Aceh, a place that hasn't seen peace in a long, long time." Drebin replied to address the case of where there's a place that never enjoyed a moment of peace. "She was captured by one side or another, and kept caged up like an animal along with God knows how many other kids." He explained the dark history of what was the trauma that affected Raging Raven as a victim of war.

"Anonymous violence." Duncan asked from having a bad feeling if he was right.

"Exactly." Drebin replied that it's as Duncan said, it was violence from either way.

"Ugh, makes what violence Chris did make him seem more like a Saint? What happen?" Duncan signs from feeling annoyed by this before asking for further details.

"It's unknown whether her captors were with the government or the rebels." Drebin stated that there was no telling who had Raging Raven, could have been any one of those starting a war. "In any case, they got their kicks by abusing these helpless little kids day after day after day." When Drebin spoke this next part, it was getting a bit dark and grim to imagine it.

"Reminds me of Juvie, but a LOT worse. What happen to them?" Duncan felt like bad memories came back, but not as worse when having heard someone else's story.

"Juvie is for kids, this stuff was more hardcore. That constant barrage, that battlefield rage, slowly built up inside their bodies…Their minds." Drebin expressed to explain the dark tales of what the unfortunate went through that built up such rage.

"Okay you win, that does sound worse then juvie. What…happen to the kids?" Duncan asked from knowing he will regret learning this after.

"The kids tried to keep each others' spirits up, always clinging to the hope that someone would come to their rescue, barely surviving off scraps of food." Drebin explained what those poor souls tried to do, keep hope alive to make it out of such a horrible place. "But those soldiers didn't stop." He issued with a firm and stern tone of what awaited the kids from their captors.

"Woah-woah…didn't stop? And for a bunch of kids!?" Duncan felt like that was going a step too far. "I'm almost afraid to ask, but…what happen?" Duncan had to brace himself for what was not a happy tale.

"Well brace yourself Duncan, cause you asked it. They called the kids parasites and poop-eating ravens. Beat 'em even harder." Drebin exclaimed to explain the dark tale of what soldiers of such violence thought of such kids they held captive. "Then one morning, the soldiers just up and left, leaving the surviving kids to be eaten alive by the birds." When that was mention, Duncan covered his mouth from almost puking… "Almost like one of those sky burials." Drebin stated how one can picture such an event as a sky theme for the decease.

"Uuurrgh….okay, now I've officially lost my lunch." Duncan lightly lost his nerve when puking nearby and felt disturb.

"One by one, their bodies were picked apart by ravens' beaks, until finally the flock came for her. Raging Raven herself." Drebin described the next part of the events that played out in the past. "But by some miracle, their beaks cut her bonds instead." He revealed a twist of faith of what would save a girl of death. "And like that, she was liberated." He stated on how Raging Raven escaped a faith that befallen others.

"Okay, so she survived. But after witnessing that horror, I don't think it's lucky enough?" Duncan raised an eyebrow, knowing that nobody that escapes such trauma is 'ever' okay again.

"You be correct. In that instant, she was filled with an uncontrollable rage, and it smothered her soul." Drebin explained what happen to Raging Raven after where anger and hate clutch her heart. "She ripped the ravens pecking at her to pieces and then went after the soldiers." That next part surprised Duncan to realize someone had the strength to do that much and more… "And when she finally caught up with them, she waited until nightfall like a hunter awaiting its prey." Drebin explained what the person did afterwards by planning their next steps carefully.

"Ugh, yeah well sometimes recalling unpaid debts and payback can keep you going." Duncan moans lightly from knowing the feeling, when someone does you wrong, you wanna pay them back: like what happen when he learn Harold FIXED the votes to boot Courtney off in Season One.

"They say that when a raven cries, a man dies." Drebin issued froth the dramatic moment of what to expect. "And that's exactly what happened that night." He simply stated on what occurred next, those dying the next night.

"I'm getting the picture already, but forgetting my weak stomach…what she do then?" Duncan asked from knowing this story will really have an unpleasant ending.

"Screeching and cawing, she killed every last living being in that camp, both the soldiers and the civilians they'd enslaved." Drebin explained what occurred in Raging Raven's past when getting revenge to kill off anyone in the way. "In her eyes, there was no longer a difference." He grimly admits that the girl back then, didn't see a different of guilty and innocent.

"Holy….she didn't see a difference between an enemy and a non-enemy?" Duncan yelped from having heard such a dark tale that might make violent movies fall short. "Dang, she really did all that?" Duncan couldn't help but feel pity for Raging Raven's life, and he rarely feels that way around others.

"What you expect? The cruelty her friends had suffered, the pain and humiliation she'd endured…" Drebin expressed to reveal the sadness and burning rage buried inside one soul was beyond normal. "Hers was the distillation of the rage that decades of war had imparted on those soldiers." He concludes how such a tale meant with irony of what evil brings can create greater evil afterwards.

"Hmmmm…?" Duncan moans a bit to process this: getting his head around hearing such a terrible story origin. "It was her strength…and her greatest weakness." The guy admits where such power could make them stronger but also blind them.

"You're something else, Duncan." Drebin comments Duncan for his words there. "You managed to cleanse Raven of her rage." He issued on what the guy did to help Raging Raven out in the end.

"Me, cleanse people of their rage? Do you hear what you're saying?" Duncan replied from thinking that's the most unrealistic joke he's heard. "I'm known as the bad boy, and a guy that beats up those that get me real annoyed. And you're saying that after I saved the victim, I even saved the persona too? Get real!?" Duncan couldn't believe that now his old street credit of being bad has him more in the limelight as a hero.

"No, seriously." Drebin stated on meaning what he says. "You're the seed of war." When he mentioned this, that perk Duncan's interest. "In fact, I'd say you might even be war itself." The guy labeled on how Duncan can fight seems like the guy is constantly fighting physically, and with himself.

"Drebin…" Duncan mumbled from sounding annoyed by those wild claims.

"Maybe's it's still too early to tell." Drebin stated that at this point, one can't be sure what Duncan can do. "You've bunch still got half the BB Corps ahead of you." He issued on knowing how many of the Beauty And The Beast unit is left to deal with.

"Half!? Someone else took one of them down?" Duncan raised an eyebrow from hearing this piece of intel.

"Your girl Heather defeated Laughing Octopus, and was just brought in. But she's undergone change after the battle. What say you, you feeling anything…strange?" Drebin report the case on what the Total Drama team's side did, and check if Duncan felt anything afterwards…

"Hmmm?" Duncan huffs if off, not saying anything or wanting to expose weakness.

"Well besides that, Heather took down one of the Winds of Destruction. But seeing you haven't meant yours, you're not safe yet." Drebin forewarns Duncan to be wary about another enemy that may come after him very soon. "Keep your eye on the ball, pal." Drebin request that Duncan continue to follow the path that he's on.

With that, the com-link between Drebin and Duncan ended. But for Duncan, it made him sign from near exhaustion. He feels like war really messes with everyone, and only this time it's not another Total Drama challenge – it's the real deal.

ABOVE THE SITE

Dallas and Juanita arrive to witness Duncan carrying the now freed Jane that held the persona of Raging Raven out by air. They didn't encounter each other, but the mutated host saw the werewolf make a bee-line to where he was last time.

"Ooohhh, looks like we just missed it?" Dallas cringed from seeing they missed out on the fun event.

"I told you if you went before we arrived here, but you said you could wait." Juanita rolled her optic eyes to recall what the issue was. "And right when the action slipped by, you couldn't wait a second more." Apparently Dallas needed to use the little boy's room which delayed their jobs.

"Sorry Juanita, but I didn't have to go then." Dallas apologized for the short coming of nature calling. "A shame too, that fight looked like it would have been really awesome." The guy felt bad that they never broadcast it out.

"Not so fast, according to this…Raging Raven of BB Corps is defeated." Juanita stated on looking at the incoming data on their system.

"Ahhhh….so that means…What?" Dallas was about to say but stopped midway….

"That the Winds of Destruction has not yet fought. Which means we're in time." Juanita issued on how they can cover the next exciting battle; and soon their pod hovers to follow Duncan's trail…

BACK WITH DUNCAN

The scene reopens around the tower where we spot Hellion lying by the damage van crash site. But then around the time we see Duncan fly in carrying Jane along with the grenade launcher and Slider Wings pack. Duncan saw Hellion was being cared for by some arrived Mike-Alikes in the same outfits he saw before hand.

"Ugh, hey Hellion….you doing any better?" Duncan asked from checking how the so-called policeman girl was feeling; despite a broken robotic hoof foot issue.

"Maybe…who's that you got?" Hellion stated from trying to not seem desperate for help.

"Someone who needs help. No time to explain, I…" Duncan was about to say a few things without revealing the girl was once Raging Raven…. "AAAarugh!?" Then a strange red pulse aura escaped him that the guy drop down.

"Duncan, what's wrong?" Hellion asked to slowly check with the aid of a few Mike-Alike Soldiers.

Some of the Mike-Alikes were only a dozen, but they secured the weapons from the van. The few spare hands helped an injured Hellion and help the unconscious Jane up. Soon Snatch Hunters appeared to break through the walls to begin attacking the unprepared bunch. But Duncan had wolf-like instant to claw them down without a second thought.

"I don't wanna die!?/I wanna live!/I have a life!" There were voices that were heard echoing and the only one who heard them…was Duncan.

"Hugh!? Am I hearing…voices from these guys?" Duncan yelped from realizing something weird was going on. "But they're mindless, no personalities, so why?" The guy couldn't understand it, was there something wrong with him that Duncan is hearing unknown voices…

Duncan saw more Snatch Hunters up ahead of him, and knew that they cause trouble if they gang up on those that are still weak. Duncan acted as a decoy to lure the soldiers of Mal away from the others. Then when they were in a perfect line of fire, Duncan performed Fox Fire after a deep breath to blast out blue hot flames to finish the enemies off. But that may not have been wise for poor Duncan's side…

"UUurraghhhh!/WAAAAARRRRRRRHHH?" The many screaming voices that came from all of the Snatch Hunters caught in the blue flame, were only heard from an outside source that no one else could hear. "AAARRRRROOOOWWWWW!?" Duncan clutch his head, screaming and howling as if he felt a thousand knives all at once.

"Duncan!?" Hellion called out seeing the guy but he still seem out of it.

"MOVE! I can't fight with an injured and an unconscious distracting me!" Duncan yelled out to try and get those to leave him be or else he'll lose focus.

Hellion was uncertain but ordered her troops to take everything they could carry of weapon supplies and the unconscious Jane. Duncan continued to lead more Snatch Hunters away from the retreating party, but every time he destroyed the dark clones of Mal, it felt like he heard cries. Was it possible that due to being touch by Raging Raven left a side-affect which was clouding his judgement and getting in the way. There was no telling how to deal with being beaten physically but also get attack mentally; what a way to live through a dark time. And what's worse, the weather started to pour down buckets of rain without warning.

"Pant-pant….I think I may have to say Drebin was right….maybe I did catch something, but what?" Duncan was seen panting as he found himself again surrounded by other Snatch Hunters. "I feel like, my animal side is about to go ferial? But I can't…lose myself…" Duncan quickly got himself together, it's along shot but there's still fight left in him… "SLASH!/KICK!" Duncan dealt a claw and kick moves to keep the enemy back while trying to not destroy them…

"MY LIFE IS MY OWN!/I AM MAL!/IT'S MY TIME!" Voices came from the other Snatch Hunters that echoed in the air but only Duncan heard it.

"Grrrr….Can't you guys just stop talking into my head!?" Duncan groans from feeling like the more this continues, the worse he gets.

"How pleased you are to chop away, Duncan the Delinquent." Another voice was heard from above the tall tower building of someone taunting him.

Duncan got a good look at who was trash talking him, and it was someone he's never seen before. A tall person apparently 2.02 metres to be exact, was a slender man with numerous cybernetic enhancements. The main physical characteristic was the red visor, and the dark grey body. The thighs represent baggy pants, and has two shoulder pads. The skin was somewhat pale, and the hair is a light blonde colour, bordering on white, reaching down to the shoulders. It's clear this guy was an evil clone of Mal, but a far distant type and aged over into adulthood.

"My name is Monsoon…of the Winds of Destruction" The stranger announced who he was with that introduction and of who he belongs to.

"Ugh…Yeah…I guessed as much." Duncan remarked at the guy for giving such an intro. "So you're one of those elite Mal Clones or something?" The guy tried to keep the tough attitude going, or else Duncan will be taken advantage of.

Monsoon gave a sly grin, and then crossed his arms before unfolding them to release purple energy. Then Monsoon leaped off the tower while preparing to plunge. But something bizarre happened that even Duncan couldn't believe. Monsoon seem fine until his body was splitting apart from the legs, arms, even the main body up to the neck and head. Upon closer examination, there was metallic plates and purple electricity going through like an attracted conduit. The body parts slowly decease down without losing the frame up. "STOMP!" Then the impact was a heavy stomp and then the separated limbs dangled as if hovering in an electric field. Then the parts reconfigured to create the whole of Monsoon.

"Wha-the-what!? HURRGHMM…?" Duncan was completely shocked beyond belief: that was some freaky stuff he's ever seen that he almost puked on the spot. "Urgh…I might just lose my lunch after seeing that?" Duncan was distracted, but Monsoon was giving himself a little muscle movement to make sure he was intact.

"Lose your lunch, interesting comment since observing your early actions. Feasting on the inside of your enemies." Monsoon remarks and ridicule Duncan on having struck down his foes. "How easily you ignore the loss of life when it suits your convenience." As Duncan listened in, he didn't get what the guy was talking about unless…it was the Mal clones called Snatch Hunters. "So tell me: Who saves the weak from the man who saves the weak?" Monsoon went off to give Duncan a tricky question right on the spot.

"Oh really, now you're pinning the blame on me? In case you forgotten, you're the ones exploiting them for not having a high enough intellect and personality to be of any other use." Duncan protest to make his stated claim on the spot. "Way I see it, Mal's got a crazy method of taking advantage of his own lesser clones weakness…" To Duncan, he remembers Mal's act in Juvie of stepping on the weak and making them follow his orders: anyone who thought otherwise wasn't so fortunate. "So yeah they get used to the point they're turn into dark particles when you set them up as your shield." Duncan confirms what Mal has these Snatch Hunters more useful as sacrificial soldiers to no end while others can live the higher life.

"Kill or be killed, Duncan." Monsoon replied off when looking away to simply say how the world works in that way. "Phnom Penh taught me that." He turns to give a sly smile at Duncan of where he learn such a lesson that makes the world go round.

"Sorry, name doesn't ring a bell. Never been much into the battle of war other then my own fights." Duncan remarked from knowing what he does is not about going to war.

"Yes well, you aren't the only one to grow up on the killing fields." Monsoon stated on knowing that for him, growing on the battlefield toughen-up a person.

"Who said I grew up on the killing fields?" Duncan protest from hearing more nonsense from these nut-jobs.

"Don't lie, in any place were conflict can reach, it's all about survival. And for clones of Mal, we relate." Monsoon describe such things as things that tie one to feel connected on any battlefield of any age. "War is a cruel parent, but an effective teacher. Its final lesson is carved deep in my psyche: That this world, and all its people, are diseased." Monsoon walked around Duncan to describe the reality of what war brings about others. "Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke." He stated on how things seen by others is only set to delude their sense of how the world operates. "We are all pawns, controlled by something greater: Memes. The DNA of the soul." He turns to smile at Duncan when fantasying such words that best describes them.

"More like the soul of Mal, and that guy is pitch black as they come!" Duncan protest from knowing who Mal is and all his evil clones share.

"Even so, it cannot be deny of our soul. They shape our will. They are the culture…they are everything we pass on." Monsoon explained the ideal meanings behind such words of understanding. "Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate." He approach Duncan's kneel state when stating about hatred being born. "They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair…All memes. All passed along." He waved out his arms from describing the results that when one learns about such negative emotions, they are passed on to affect the next no matter the action needed.

"How about full of malarkey? Is that a meme?" Duncan blurted off from finding this theory topic a snore.

"You can't fight nature, Duncan." Monsoon exclaimed to walk around Duncan's left side to argue this. "Wind blows, rain falls, and the strong prey upon the weak." He stops briefly to remind Duncan that reality is cruel, and only the strong make it by killing off weakness even if it's of others.

"Uuugh…" Duncan felt rather sick to be taught something that despite being stubborn; there was truth to such words.

"I heard from intel that you see your new life's effort as a tool." Monsoon spoke to Duncan about what he's doing in his life. "Something that helps save lives…a means of justice." He issued on how Duncan has gone from being bad to being a good guy that helps others. "Now there's a pretty meme. Exquisite!" He held up his left hand to feel such motion towards a goal is a dream of fantasy. "It's spared you the burden of all the lives you've messed up…" He turns to lash forth something about what Duncan was truly trying to cover up. "…Absolved you of guilt when you enjoyed it." He stated that for Duncan, that was his way, but his new path has left him with nothing.

Duncan would have said something until, he couldn't think of a comeback but review himself. Ever since he appeared on Total Drama, he was a delinquent punk, a bad sheep to his family's long history of being cops for good. But Duncan was different, he went down a path of a rebel punk, got into juvie, made a rep, and it became his new identity. But after experiencing new seasons on Total Drama, the people he worked with, endured for good and bad times, began to affect him even when finding love. And then that image was coming undone from enjoying life with others outside of his own war. And after the All-Star season, he hit rock bottom of his crooked rep, and it backfired from trying to show he was still bad. And now he's here, he's mutated into a wolf freak, his friends and family are endanger, even the whole world is in trouble. Is Duncan even still himself at this point of his changed life.

"What's wrong, cat got your tongue?" Monsoon asked from sensing that poor Duncan has finally lost his way.

"…." Duncan was silent, as if completely blindsided and angry…at himself.

"You go around being some hero now, instead of who you truly are. That is, until the illusion was broken. And the truth is, you feel enrage not embrace your anger." Monsoon shrug off to comment that what Duncan built up began to fall apart: and now the guy's rage has all but snuffed out. "Don't be ashamed. It's only nature, running its course." He harmlessly stated to move around Duncan, giving him the harsh truth he needs to hear. "You have no choices to make. Nothing to answer for." He brushed off his right hand in the air when mentioning this. "You can die with a clear conscience." As Monsoon spoke, he pulls out two sais to twirl and prepares to go for the kill of a broken soul of one that's lost their cruel fighting spirit.

"You know something…you're kinda right." Duncan blurted this out without warning: which caught Monsoon's attention. "About me, I mean." He stated this from feeling like there's no point debating further.

"Hugh?" Monsoon replied to lower his weapons, finding this…intriguing to hear.

"I knew something was…off." Duncan admits the truth of what was off about him. "After the Total Drama Season 5, I thought maybe I could walk off the battlefield of being some delinquent and into a normal life. Heck, even thought my new life here could be better now that I got Courtney back." Duncan explains himself of what he felt was a chance to have the good life he's messed up having. "But here I am, surrounded by mayhem, arguing points across with guys as bad as Mal to become terrorists." Now Duncan sees that everything is much worse then he's ever felt. "I told myself what others said that this was about justice. About protecting the weak." Duncan explains more about the reasoning he's doing this. "But I was wrong." Duncan exclaimed to admit that for all that, he's wrong about himself believing it.

"Hehehehe…Then you admit it?" Monsoon chuckled to shrug off the shoulders; witnessing Duncan has open his eyes to the truth.

"I learned young that beating your enemies felt good." Duncan blurted out what he felt when he beaten up such guys. "Really good." He issued from having recalled such times he felt thrilled of being bad. "Back home, my friends…my family…" Duncan recalled those that he at least held dear. "They helped me forget the devil inside. And finally be someone well renown outside a bad rep." He muttered from thinking about these very thoughts. "But who am I kidding in the end?" Duncan exclaimed from sensing a strangeness of what logic meant. "Me be good, me be better, me not beat the crude out of others. I was BORN to FIGHT./SMASH!" After Duncan said this, he smashed his right fist into the ground to leave a crack dent.

"Hoooo?!" Monsoon replied surprised to see Duncan get so…emotional.

"The bit about my view on things…that means of justice stuff?" Duncan uttered out from how his friends say things about upholding justice. "I guess I needed something to keep 'the Delinquent' in check when I was knee-deep in beaten bodies. Especially now that I've fought Mutant Beast and Mutant Villains alike now." The guy explained more sense of himself of keeping in control.

"You…" Monsoon replied completely stun, feeling something was not right here.

"But you…all this…is a wake-up call to what I really believe." Duncan muttered from sounding somewhat different in his tone. "What I really am." As Duncan spoke, he saw his reflection in the ground of water from the rain.

"What are you saying…?" Monsoon tilted his head to demand to know, what Duncan is talking about.

"I'm saying Duncan is back. Not the nice guy Duncan, not the limited coward who kept out of danger. I mean….the me…" Duncan was speaking as a low growl was heard, as his eyes flared a redness. "That has now become…a BEAST!" That announcement got Monsoon to slowly move away while watching a weaken Duncan begin to stand up.

"Kill him!" Monsoon held his weapons to give the order to finish the werewolf now.

The Snatch Hunters nearby heard the order and began to attack with one performing Tooth Spear that slashed it's tips of the tails into Duncan. But even when the attack landed, Duncan was not budging, in fact…he was beginning to laugh out like a madman.

"Hugh!?" Monsoon gasped from this shocking surprise; Duncan apparently has finally snapped.

"It seems I caught some leftover bits of Raging Raven's rage and anger after all?" Duncan admits what he may have caught awaken something inside. "It's madness to think!? So why bother thinking anymore…" "I'm an undead cybernetic werewolf. Let's see how much this can boost my self!" "AWWWWWOOOWWWWWW!" Duncan left off a howling noise that shook the entire area; and those glowing red eyes stared with raging fury. "This Pain…I want to Fight with pain." "AARRRRRRR!/SLASH!" With another roar, Duncan clawed the tail hair tentacle right off the Snatch Hunter that fell backwards as the hero got freed. "Well now, it's pretty good to get back to my roots again." He admits as Duncan was admitting a powerful red aura of mutant energy around his body. "You might say this normal…could be…My nature calling." As he spoke, he stared those piercing red eyes directly at Monsoon.

"You've lost your mind." Monsoon muttered in utter disbelief; Duncan has gone bonkers beyond his normal sense.

Monsoon did a head signal to the Snatch Hunters to attack, one was going in…until Duncan slashed that one into dark particles. The next Snatch Hunter tried to attack Duncan's blindside, but then the werewolf's cybernetic arms released their energy disc that penetrated and disburse the dark particles of the other mutant clone. And when a third Snatch Hunter went to attack, Duncan's claws glowed red as he slashed it in half as the dark particles scatter in the air. When it was almost over, there was only one Snatch Hunter remaining with Monsoon that witness a new awaken beast making it's cruel display without so much effort.

"Who's next?" Duncan wields his Kaus-slugger forth in one hand, challenging more enemies to come: the last Snatch Hunter would have gone in blindly but…

"No!" Monsoon stopped the last Snatch Hunter from engaging with Duncan. "Report back to the general." Monsoon gave specific instructions to be passed along. "He's mine." He issued from wanting to be the one to deal with Duncan personally.

Receiving that order, the Snatch Hunter simply bowed before departing without a word. Now Monsoon turns his full attention on a now raging werewolf.

"I've misjudged you. You are like us after all." Monsoon gave a sly evil smile, liking this killer bad side of Duncan could be what Mal is all about.

"Really? Now you're just being nasty." Duncan remarked from hearing a villain say he's like them. "Heh-heh-heh-heh…heeehh…" He lets off a strange low-growl wolf-like chuckle that sounded kinda dark for him. "That nickname you love so much…wanna know how I got it?" Duncan issued from those that recall him as the delinquent back on Total Drama but never knew how he got it. "Actually…why don't I give you a demonstration?" The guy issued from crossing his energy blades together, ready to show off his stuff. "I think it's time for Duncan…to let 'er rip! WEREWOLF STYLE!" Duncan decalred forth with a wide gritting and sharp teeth smile of what he'll do.

Monsoon smiled as he likes that burning rage, and prepares himself. Which is when the red visor cover came down completely over the mouth.

ABOVE THE TOWER SITE

"Hooooo, looks like we're in time Juanita!" Dallas exclaimed from seeing they were not late to the party. "But in time for what this is, I'm completely in the dark?" The guy scratch his head from finding the situation, very complex.

"Dark is right Dallas, it seems like instead of a hero vs villain, it's a new spin." Juanita issued from witnessing a plot twist unlike before.

"A spin on life where you lose yourself and become a stain to everyone around you. Friend and foe alike." Dallas describe the matter of such a thing.

"Then this will be very special to watch." Juanita stated on what they can expect from this battle.

"A cruel irony, I have the perfect track!" Dallas announced from working his fingers to program a setting. "This is called 'The Stains Of Time – Extended Battle Theme' and though we maybe our relationship is stain from time that says others, I hope Juanita you come to know me. As I…" The guy was busy with preparation and making a speech when…

"Save that for later Dallas, and start the music before we miss out anymore of what's to happen." Juanita cuts Dallas off to focus on the battle below rather then anything else.

DUNCAN'S BATTLE EVENT

The battle on the ground was about to begin, as it was Duncan VS. Monsoon. The background was beginning to play 'The Stains Of Time – Extended Battle' to build up the dramatic attention. During the time, Duncan had enough common sense to use the Mutant Scouter to read any intel on his opponent:

MUTANT: MONSOON

TYPE: MUTANT CYBORG

RANK: A-

POWER LEVEL: 170,000

Information: A product clone version of Mal with it's own personality but more darken from a source of evilness. After having become subjected to allowing the body to mutate with traces of Dark Miasma, an experiment was given to the newly change clone. The mutation cause a growth and alter appearance change to match the personality while maintaining some human appearance. The second was cyborg components to increase the potential talent and the enhanced mutated body. The results showed promise of creating a superior humanoid reaching the power level to compete against Mutant Beast of A-Rank quality.

The body was a unique cyborg chassis consisting of a series of segments held together by powerful electromagnetic forces which could separate considerable distances while still remaining part of the whole. This ultimately allows one to perform incredible feats that other cyborgs couldn't do. Such as dodging sword slashes and separate the body to increase the reach or attack from multiple angles at once.

Monsoon was the next perfect warrior born from such mutation and cyborg enhancements. Gifted a generator powerful enough to even allow him to lift even huge vehicle objects in the air to hurl at enemies. The generator was also refined enough to also lift up objects that at least possessed trace amounts of metal. This also grants the ability to stick on metal structures, as the magnetic abilities allow one to walk upside down.

The cyborg mutant body itself was highly maneuverable with incredible jumping abilities, being on par of other powerful Mutants like the Snatch Hunters for their agility and speed. The eyes are hooked up to cables that attached to a bump in the helmet. The electromagnetic generator activates by part of his visor extending outwards. However, even with all of his unique traits, the electromagnetic abilities have their weaknesses. The body was not unique from other mutant cyborg bodies as the user is still susceptible to EMP grenades, and a direct strike at the extended generator would instantly cut one off from the electromagnetic abilities, also stunning him briefly.

In addition to the magnetic abilities, carries a pair of sais called 'Dystopia', which Monsoon is extremely skilled with, and a belt with pouches containing red phosphorous grenades. Such grenades are used to disorient foes, attacking from multiple directions. Monsoon's entire being is being hard to deal with, and strikes almost like an assassin.

The cyborg body has been outfitted to bisect into many different parts, strung together using magnetic power that he can control.

Duncan charged forth to begin the first attack, but Monsoon was shown skilled in using sais to block attacks. Duncan was also able to tell that this guy was all about speed and agility, but that didn't mean he lack strength. In fact there was a lot more to Monsoon that Duncan had to be wary of even in this battle of letting his rage power him up.

"Give it up!" Monsoon remarked to Duncan's pathetic struggle to match him. "You'll rot here." Monsoon issued on what will happen to Duncan very soon when he's done. "Back to the earth with you!" Monsoon declared as he leaped backwards and dash to land a hit.

"Forget it." Duncan snapped as he jumped up in the air to evade the attack.

"Give it up!" Monsoon looked to where Duncan moved to quickly follow. "Ridiculous…" Monsoon exclaimed from now clashing against Duncan while in midair. "Death approaches." Monsoon stated as he continued to move quickly and attack with his sais.

"Sure you don't mean yourself, mister corpse borg?" Duncan slightly grin to make a remark at the enemy already was slice and diced, so he's beyond what anyone could call living.

"You'll rot here." Monsoon snapped as he and Duncan continue their clashing of weapons that made sparks fly. "Give it up!" Monsoon snapped on wanting Duncan to give in, he can't win.

"How likely you forget, I have a few spare arms!" Duncan issued to remind the melee fighter, he's full of surprises. "ALNAS SHOT!/BAM!" Then Duncan announced to use a double laser cannon that injured Monsoon's vitals.

"Am I…too weak?" Monsoon questioned when his system readout said he suffered 30% battle damage.

Soon Monsoon leaps off and gets away from Duncan's attack pattern. Then as Duncan watch with anticipation, the front red helmet visor pops a strange glowing device. It was emitting a strange frequency all over Monsoon. And then the guy was leaping from one high ground to the next, keeping Duncan guessing until he stopped.

"This one's on me!" Monsoon announced what he was gonna do while powering up.

Then without warning, something was glowing that Monsoon was using his powers to magnetically levitate: A MILITARY COPTER!? And the copter was thrown at Duncan as he dodged when the vehicle exploded behind him.

"A helicopter, really? So instead of trading blows, you THROW things so big to kill me?" Duncan remarked from thinking that was a bit childish.

"Left hand rule!" Monsoon announced forth when preparing a second repeat attack.

Then without warning, another helicopter and a tank were levitated by a magnetic force. Duncan stared in surprise at this action.

"You're kidding me?" Duncan remarked from thinking this guy has a major screw loose.

"Magnetic power!" Monsoon declared as he tossed the heavy vehicles forth to crush Duncan.

Duncan immediately had to act to use speed to dodge and destroy the incoming vehicles. The werewolf body was made of strong stuff to endue that. But then Monsoon began to move down to continue the fight.

"Nehehehh…." As Monsoon landed, Duncan charged to attack him by the exposed backside… BUT THE GUY SPLIT HIS WAIST OFF!?

"WHAAAAH!?" Duncan roared in shock, and tried to land a hit but Monsoon was giggling at the useless struggle. "HOLD STILL SO I CAN HIT YOU!?" Duncan was attacking without hesitation, but the enemy was just toying around to adjust the magnet movement of the limb. "WEREWOLF KICK!" Duncan decided to try another tactic if his claws and energy blades couldn't do.

"KICK!" That surprise kick managed to at least scatter Monsoon's parts off while the head levitated.

"Ridiculous…" Monsoon remarked as he evaded Duncan's attack and recalled his scatter parts to assemble again. "You even aiming?" He taunts as ever time Duncan tried to land a blow, one of Monsoon's limbs would split to evade the damage.

"If you stop dividing yourself, we wouldn't be HAVING this conversation!" Duncan snapped from hating an enemy he can't hit well.

"Fear the unseen much, Duncan?" Monsoon remarked from having another surprise in store.

Suddenly Monsoon caused a smokescreen to block all visibility. Duncan tried to look around and even use his cybernetic arms to try range attacks. But then Monsoon struck him from a blindside, and Duncan tried to attack but missed. And every time, Monsoon was popping in and out using the smoke as cover.

"Red phosphorous, Duncan! Infrared is useless!" Monsoon remarked the guy for thinking he can pinpoint his location that easily. "You'll rot here." Monsoon issued as he continued to strike from the cover of smoke.

"Just cause I can't target you, doesn't mean I can't fight!" Duncan snapped as he tried to claw anything in the smokescreen but hit nothing.

"Too fast for that." Monsoon taunts Duncan's effort was a useless struggle. "Give it up!" The guy called for the wolf boy to quit since he can't win.

"Fat chance of that!" Duncan protest on refusing to quit after everything before using the cybernetic arms to attack all areas with no hit.

"Too fast for that." Monsoon replied that even that tactic was weak without proper instinct to locate him.

Wasn't long before the smokescreen disappeared to give everyone sight. Too bad Duncan found Monsoon split apart in a hovering electric magnetic twister form. And then threw his metal limbs off like attacks.

"Seriously, you use yourself as a weapon projectile!?" Duncan protest that this Monsoon was even nuttier then Izzy to come up with weird tactics like this.

Duncan saw Monsoon resemble himself but tried to strike, only to not succeed again. The more Duncan attacks, the more the enemy keeps splitting where the werewolf was trying to aim.

"Give it up!" Monsoon taunts to kick Duncan back a bit with a cocky attitude. "Are you that stupid?" He issued from Duncan continued to struggle to get even a hit in. "CLASH!/UUUGH!?" But then as luck had it, Duncan missed with a kick but had his tail dealt the deal damage.

"Says the guy that lowered his guard! Even stupid sense can get right once or twice!" Duncan remarked with confidence to surprise an enemy who thinks he's invincible.

But then while Duncan tried to attack the fallen head, Monsoon reassemble himself and was rush dashing around the werewolf. But then when the enemy launch an attack, Duncan prepared a counterattack where Monsoon couldn't have his splits dodge.

"Ridiculous…" Monsoon protest from being drawn in only to get hurt.

"Forget it." Duncan remarked as he continued to attack Monsoon when he was off balance and unfocused.

"GYYAAAHH!?" Monsoon cried out from each time Duncan landed a critical blow to him. "KICK!" The guy leaped to deal a kick blow but Duncan was catching on to block. "SLASH!/AAAAuurrgh!?" Then Duncan dealt another blow that sent a screaming Monsoon across the field.

"How's this for a stupid wolf!?" Duncan remarked in wanting to dish some payback.

But before Duncan could deal more damage, Monsoon quickly got up to retreat and land on a lamppost. The guy had just suffered 50 percent damage, Duncan was becoming too dangerous to carelessly mess around. So Monsoon leaped from pole to pole to keep Duncan away until he stopped at another building section.

"HAHA-HAAA-HAAA!?" Monsoon let off a wicked laughter as his body emitted a strong purple electric energy; as if he's got something planned. "Welcome to my utopia of death!" As Monsoon announced this, he was levitating over THREE military copters.

"Oh boy!?" Duncan yelped slightly from seeing the stakes got rose up a bit. "KABLAM!" Duncan managed to launch himself backwards to evade three explosive copter collisions.

"Magnetic force, Duncan! Nature's force!" Monsoon shouted out to say while focusing on what else he can hurl. "Magnetic power!" And when Duncan looked to see THREE Copters and a TANK car ready, Monsoon hurl them off.

"If you expect me to say thanks, don't be…" Duncan remarked from not wanting to use a tank pun on the spot. "KAISER NAIL!/SLASH!/BOOM!" The wolf started go crazy and clawed through the vehicles as they scatter and explode.

Duncan managed to survive that disaster of an obstacle, before a screaming Monsoon jumped down to attack the werewolf. But as Duncan tried to attack, Monsoon laughed as now he was able to divide his limbs to keep from being damage. But then if that wasn't bad enough, Monsoon almost kick Duncan but it was a feint to throw a smoke bomb to blind his vision.

"This trick again!?" Duncan protest on seeing this move be repeat, and tried to attack where he saw Monsoon come but he vanished.

"Ridiculous…" Monsoon taunts Duncan's effort to hit what he can't see; and even if he could, he's still missing his scatter magnetic limbs.

Time went by as Duncan could only fight for so long against an enemy with an advantage. Then as the smokescreen vanished, Duncan watched as Monsoon magnetically separated to form his limb twister move. Duncan had to be on the defense against the swift attacks of so many cyborg metallic limbs launch as projectiles.

"CLANK-CLANK, CLANK!/I'm beginning to pick up your rhythm, and that's bad news for you!" Duncan remarked from having slowly learn what to expect of the enemy's attack pattern.

Duncan charges to attack the remaining head, but Monsoon assemble his parts and still toyed with the werewolf that couldn't touch his split body framework. Monsoon continued to assault Duncan while having the advantage to attack and evade, putting Duncan on the defense.

"Ridiculous…" Monsoon remarked on the useless struggle, one can't hit that's divided.

"What about…NOOOW!" Duncan issued from having performed his Kaus-Slugger blade emitted move by the cybernetic arms.

"CLASH!/UUUUooooagh!?" Monsoon was not prepared by a surprise attack and it knock his scatter self to the ground.

Duncan began to pour on the range attacks to destroy the blasted head piece, it took damage. But Monsoon recovered to get out of there and attack but the werewolf was pushing him.

"Ridiculous…" Monsoon protest from seeing how Duncan could keep him on such a tight spot. "Give it up!" Then he leaped backwards to dive down to attack, only to get blocked.

"That your best!?" Duncan remarked to give the guy a taste of his own medicine.

"This is the real Duncan?" Monsoon asked from trying to channel his energy from the visor to split his body to keep himself from taking more damage.

Then Monsoon quickly evaded the next blow and escaped Duncan's reach after his system showed 60 percent damage. Then as Duncan was preparing himself, he heard a loud noise to look at what was happening. Only to see with widen eyes, several military vehicles were cluttered into a massive clunk object.

"Uh-oh….?" Duncan literally could tell, he really got under someone's skin today to go that big.

"Lorentz force! Go!" Monsoon declared what this next move was about to do: as he was on a building and controlled to make the clutter of stuff spin like a buzzsaw. "WAAARRRRRHHH!" Monsoon roared as he unleashed his most devastating technique.

Duncan immediately got out of the way of a giant-size wrecking buzzsaw made of military vehicles. But Monsoon was making it glow with such powerful electro-magnetic forces it seems insane to believe. "BOOM-BOOM, KABOOM!" Every time the object impacts, causes several explosions all over, and Duncan used his speed to just barely evade the onslaught. "KA-BLAM!" But after surviving long enough, luck helped when all that damage caused the mass to explode in midair. But then Monsoon lands on the ground, and gets ready to stand up.

"I have won this!" Monsoon declared as his entire body was radiating with a far stronger charge then ever before.

"Yeah, like I…./PUNCH!/UUugh!?" Before Duncan could remark, Monsoon stretched his left arm out to whack his face. "Clank-Clank!/STAB!/AAAurgh!?" Duncan quickly defended the next arm stretch by electric wave, but then was caught off by the second arm stretch move. "HUGH!?" And Duncan was even weirded out that now he was defending from kicks…by Monsoon's lower half. "Okay, this went from weird, to even SUPER Weird!?" Duncan exclaimed from finding this sort of fight way more whacky and nonsense for any logical person to handle.

Duncan charged to attack the main foe, but Monsoon retract a limb to defend; and then brought the rest of his pieces in to fight. Duncan was feeling overwhelm but then he noticed that Monsoon's little device didn't retract; it was exerting a lot of power. The werewolf dealt a blow that scratch the device which temporally stun Monsoon in a daze state.

"Got'cha!" Duncan had a sly smirk across his face when he exposed a weakness.

That single blow knocked the head off for the enemy's body to fall apart. Duncan immediately charged to attack and dealt damage. But Monsoon reassemble to run around while surviving. The major power boast was gone, and Monsoon had to play defensive even when kicking Duncan but made a distance after the wolf defended.

"Forget it." Duncan protest to not give the enemy time to attack

"Ridiculous…" Monsoon protest from feeling the damage break down to nearly 70 percent and dropping fast. "Who knows where I'll come from?" He declared as he threw in a smoke bomb to create a smokescreen for cover.

"This again!?" Duncan hated this game, as the enemy was coming to attack.

"Too fast for that." Monsoon remarked as he struck Duncan as he endured to block.

Duncan had to play smarter to wait for the enemy to attack, and he managed to repel Monsoon each time. But they were nearing their end, one was gonna give from the damage. And then the smokescreen faded to give Duncan a chance to defend the next slashes.

"I can take it!" Monsoon protest as he leaped back in take to block Duncan's strike.

"THEN TAKE IT!/SLASH!" Duncan went ahead to use his claws to slash the enemy but the Kaiser Nail energy made up for short reach.

That attack forced Monsoon into a serious retreat, as his health was down to 20 percent. Monsoon leaped up to gain higher ground, and began to channel a large amount of purple energy from his body.

"So this is Duncan's terrifying true form as a beast, huh?" Monsoon remarked from seeing how the fighting has escalated to this point.

That's when Monsoon used his magnetic powers to hurl several military copters towards Duncan like spiral missiles. But Duncan managed to counter by slicing those things with his claws. But Monsoon was not giving up, as he magnetically levitated several more helicopters and tanks in the air and launch them as projectiles. Duncan used his cybernetic arms to help slice and destroy the objects.

"You lost this one!" Monsoon jumps down to prepare another fight while supercharge.

"Oh….REALLY!/KICK!" Duncan prepared his slashes that were dodge by the enemy, but an unexpected kick caught Monsoon off.

"Ridiculous…" Monsoon muttered shock by an underhanded act like that: then he gathered his limbs to spiral into a drill to attack.

Duncan managed to survive that attack, but then saw Monsoon was preparing a repeat of that move. Duncan put up his defense to endure that next shot, and then a third one that came after. But when Monsoon stopped, Duncan dealt a knock blow to scatter the enemy, and then blast the head for more damage results.

"Ridiculous…" Monsoon argued against such a logic act of fighting as Duncan slashed him even as he assembled. "Give it up!" Then he jumps to dive bomb, but Duncan defended with his claws.

"Forget it." Duncan protest to knock the guy away while going claw-mando on the enemy.

"I can take it!" Monsoon exclaimed as he was trying to bear the damage and fight on.

"ARRRRR!" Duncan managed to get lucky to land a blow that caused the enemy to be dizzy when clawing the red visor's device. "CLASH!" The next blow shatter Monsoon into pieces while rushing to attack the head.

But then Monsoon managed to evade even with him down to 10 percent. And on the building, he was focusing his magnetic powers to assemble…a large mass of combine military vehicles. And Duncan knew what was gonna come, so he had to think up a plan and quickly…

"This one's on me!" Monsoon declared as he was having the massive collection spin into a raging buzzsaw weapon. "ARRRrughhh!" The guy hurled this powerful force for Duncan to handle.

"You wanna fight power with power, then try this! FOX FIRE!" Duncan roared off before taking a very deep breath and unleashed a large blue flame.

"BAM!" Duncan's attack managed to block Monsoon's massive buzzsaw in check, now it was a matter of who could endure more.. "BAM-BAM, BAM…" The explosions were happening from Duncan's attack blowing up the gas cases of the massed vehicles making up the attack. "BOOM!" Until finally the last one was big enough to destroy Monsoon's attack and Duncan's blue flames cease.

"UUURRrrrrghhh!" Then all eyes were seen at a triangle pillar that was shaking and glowing to emit a purple glow from a man's low growl. "Heheheh-Hahahah…." Followed by a maniacal laughter when the spire was levitated to aim as a projectile weapon of point percent. "I'll put you under, weakling." Monsoon was controlling the spire to prepare a final strike motion. "Now what will you do, Duncan the Delinquent?" He twirl his one of his sais while taunting how Duncan can survive this next onslaught move that spins incredibly fast.

"HUURGH!/BASH!" Duncan managed to leap upwards to evade the spire's crush force in the ground. "WOOAH!?/SLASH!" Duncan saw a tank car thrown when he ran up the spire, and sliced it with his cybernetic arms.

"You're dead!" Monsoon declared as he charged at the defenseless werewolf.

"BULLSEYE!" Then Duncan did a crazy attempt and plowed full force.

"HUUUUGH!?/SMASH!" Monsoon gasped as Duncan plowed his body against his attack into the building to form a crater.

"AWOOOOOO!" Duncan roared with a mighty howl as he began kicking the enemy into the building to bury him into the wall. "Do as you please. KAISER NAILS!" Duncan snapped off as he had his glowing claws shine brightly red. "SLASH-SLASH-SLASH, SLASH-SLASH-SLASH…" Duncan unleashed an endless barrage to slice this enemy that keeps splitting apart: question was, how much can he REALLY split and still be fine? "AAARRRRRRH!/SLICED!" Then a single claw strike torn the head off close to the jaw/nose area.

"BOOM!" With that much damage, Monsoon's body exploded as Duncan shot backwards to land on the ground with a savage beast pose. And soon the scatter damages of Monsoon lay onto the ground, but this time…they weren't moving. At the same time, the background cease playing when it was clear the winner – was Duncan.

Kill…ugh…or be killed…" Monsoon's words echoed on the open channel frequency; and it came from the only part of him still functioning which was the head.

"Don't be ashamed. It's only nature, running its course." Duncan coldly addressed to remind the guy of how this was the reality of letting a tame dog off it's leash; namely himself. "Your memes…end here." He issued that this is where Monsoon's little talk die here.

"No. I passed one…ugh, to you…" Monsoon's voice echoed off from the channel as if speaking his last breaths. "Sure as the sun…will rise…" He tries to say these words out as best he could. "The slaughter…pant-pant…will continue…Mal….sees to it…" He was panting between short breaths to make his message known. "Now I return…to the earth…" He issued from knowing this was the end. "Wind blows, rain falls…the strong…prey…ugh…on the weak…" Monsoon tries to give one last preach of words of his theory to pass down. "All…is as it should…be…" That last thing said was dying out before the channel was ended – Monsoon was Defeated.

With the battle over, Monsoon's cyborg head began to disappear into dark particles as Duncan looks at it floating in the air. Above the area where the particles vanished, was the hover pod piloted by Dallas and Juanita, who also realized they been spotted by the victor: Duncan.

"Um, well that's all the carnage we can take." Juanita stated with a slight worried tone in her voice.

"Yikes, I'll say. Who knew Duncan had such a gruesome side?" Dallas stated from thinking that was too much violence, even for him.

"Let's not stay and found out. Or this will be our last broadcast." Juanita instructs Dallas that it's time they book it from prying predator wolf eyes.

"Yes, we'll be right back after a short break." Dallas told the folks viewing them what's happening next. "Now let's scram and find a fighter that has a little more decency." He secretly said from knowing they wanna at least catch a fight that might turn out better.

Dallas and Juanita leave the scene while Duncan's red aura was slowly thinning down. And in time for him to drop to his knees, panting like crazy.

-DUNCAN'S VIDEO-

"Duncan, can you hear me?" Cameron's voice was trying to reach Duncan as he laied on the ground, looking worse for wear. "My scans detected your body is very weak. What happen?" The guy asked from not knowing what Duncan has gone through to end up as that.

"Long story short, I been through what might be hell!?" Duncan simply stated the shortest answer possible. "Cam, can you maybe pick me up. I might be in need of help." The guy admits this, and he hates to show weakness.

"From your injuries…?" Cameron's voice asked on the com-link…

"That, and myself…" Duncan simply states from knowing the answer too well. "And let's say, I rather not worry the others." He stated on wanting no one to worry about what he's gone through.

"Alright, I'm on my way." Cameron's voice replied before ending the com-link channel; as Duncan signs for a brief moment to breath.

"Huuuuh…first time to cut loose, and now I feel worse off then ever." Duncan admits from knowing what he's done could be crossing a line. "I may need to help, before I become as bad as Mal's evil clones are." The guy exclaims from what he's had to go to win would be no different then Mal's violent action. "I don't want…this for anyone else…especially people I care for…" He clutch his chest as he was continuing to exhale slowly…

With that the video ended with Duncan trying to calm himself down and await Cameron's arrival to help him.

MILITARY BASE SECTOR 7

NEW LOCATION: DESERT CITY RUIN

The next scene event opens to show where we spot Jasmine (L) entering a strange section constructed like a snowy area of a military base. There were buildings well constructed and had a practice field for training. But unknown to the robot girl, something was hiding and exhaling low growl noises, stomps the metallic paws. The disturbance caused some nearby crows to fly off scared.

"Hugh?" Jasmine (L) looked back to what was happening, but did not see anything. "Okay, finding myself alone in a spooky place, does not make me feel safe. I even question why I allowed the others to convince me to go alone?" The robot girl was certainly eager to do her part after being used by Mal; but now she has some doubts.

Then from the hiding spot unknown to Jasmine (L), steam came out of the robotic wolfs top backside. Then something was seen gasping through some white mask with one eye lens on the right and wore a white spandex suit. The enemy's robotic wolf body brings up a gun for the female figure in question to take and aim. There was no question about it, this was another member of the BB Corps – Crying Wolf.

"Robot Girl…" Crying Wolf spoke with a mix vocal voice as she zooms to spot Jasmine. "Found you." She muttered from having the steel robot girl in her sight.

"…?" Jasmine was still somewhat on edge around the entire area but slowly approach as cautiously as possible while not knowing the danger watching her.

"Cry…" Crying Wolf spoke these words while watching the target. "Cry for me." She muttered forth on what she wants: to see someone cry.

Jasmine did not know that there was danger but she felt worried about not liking the quietness. And soon the electric laser cannon was charging for the enemy.

"Go on…Let me hear you cry!" Crying Wolf exclaimed on wanting to hear the sounds of prey crying in pain.

Then the electric laser cannon was fired but made a loud sound. Jasmine managed to see it and react to dodge in time. Simply by performing Gear Grind of her large gold gear as a cartwheel for extra speed. At first the robot girl seem alright…but then another gunshot was heard that dented the metal shoulder.

"Ow! That hurts even as a robot?" Jasmine complained when clutching her shoulder: but then heard something moving. "Aahhhh!" Then she screamed to dodge a tower falling onto her. "Seriously, who's doing this?" She protest from the unseen attacker going at it with range attacks.

"Come…" Crying Wolf spoke forth from hear hiding place. "Show me your tears." She made a strange request to the target. "Let them flow!" She wants to see the crying tears of her enemies suffer. "Cry…Until your tears run red!" She shouted on wanting to see such a sight.

After that, the woman dives into her robotic wolf mech armor suit as the hatch closed. The mechanical wolf growls as it runs off to find a new hiding location. But during the time, Jasmine (L)'s eyes managed to spot Crying Wolf's retreat path and used the Mutant Scouter she had downloaded to pull up data that became available to her:

MUTANT: CRYING WOLF – BEAST MODE

TYPE: MUTANT MAMMAL

RANK: B+

POWER LEVEL: 96,000

Information: A captive member from the S.S. Total Drama cruise ship, dump in Mutagen Ooze with the DNA of an octopus. Mal then implanted a different persona to create a female soldier with enhanced mutant abilities followed by special suits to turn one into incredible combatants. However the persona had suffered from intense Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by the horrors of war. The two combined in a host body cause an unsettling side-effect where a special suit keeps the new life in control but if the gear is removed will weaken and almost face termination and free the dormant will.

The armor, which is quadrupedal, is very tough, capable of withstanding the heaviest caliber weapons fire. Gives the great physical strength, enough to dig in and block large C Rank Mutant Beast/Armored Vehicles from moving, even if it attempted to move forward at full strength. Makes one extremely fast and agile. The toughness of the armor as well as the strength and speed it grants the user makes them extremely formidable in combat even among B Rank opponents. Charges are devastating, could easily knock an armored tank over, and a charge through a group of enemy combatants to leave them dead from the impact. Inside the quadrupedal armor, the user wears a sealed suit and a white helmet, which covers the left eye, with a scanning lens on her right eye that is used alongside the telescopic sight of the rail gun.

Despite the inherent dangers of using the rail gun, Crying Wolf is capable of operating the weapon safely and effectively in battle. When aiming down the rail gun activates a similar version of thermal vision. Firing the on-board rail gun requires one to manually sight foes, partially exposing one's self above the beast armor. Thus when opening the armor and raise one's upper body up out of it to sight and fire, is highly visible in thermal vision. Carries explosives which would be thrown at enemies who were out of reach.

Arguably Crying Wolf's deadliest weapons were the olfactory sensors built into her armor. These allowed her to detect and track a quarry's scent just like a hunting animal, such as her namesake. With this ability, could locate a foe even in the most blinding of snowstorms. In addition, the armor doesn't radiate heat, making it impossible to detect with thermal vision. Also very difficult to spot with night vision unless close by. Engages in team-based attacks.

"Okay, so now I know who's attacking me? Man, Leshawna made it sound like having mutant powers be easy. But apparently, if I fought that girl…I be in trouble?" Jasmine (L) exclaimed from realizing that she's got a lot on her plate here. "Ugh, if this is how folks greet me on my first day here, then I really gotta be more alert. I could have been hurt if I was not made of metal?" Jasmine (L) groans as she slowly gets up while seeing the damage wasn't too serious.

Jasmine (L) decides to find cover inside one of the buildings to get out of sight Crying Wolf who attacked from a distance. But as the robot girl was heading up to the second floor, her upgraded robot danger sense was going off as if there is an enemy but it was not across the hallway.

"Greetings, cyborg." Then a strange male robotic voice was heard echoing in the hallway.

"Hugh?" Jasmine reacted to stay close to the wall, then held her Golden Gear weapon to be ready. "Whoever you are, show yourself! I'm not about to be surprise twice!" She issued off, she thought only Crying Wolf was around, but who's making a move this time.

Without warning, a chainsaw blade broke through the wall side behind Jasmine (L). When the robot girl looked back, she yelped to lean backwards before the chainsaw cut through the wall and almost cut Jasmine (L) when it went pass her face and almost got the nose. Jasmine (L) managed to evade with her boosted robotic movement function, but then saw the chainsaw blade change direction to the floor and went up to the next wall side. Wasn't long before Jasmine (L) yelped as the entire structure was shaking and tilted. It was then that whoever did this was bringing her down and soon the robot girl yelped from falling debris knocking her off. After falling outside the building second floor, Jasmine (L) landed on the ground and reacted to use her Golden Gear weapon to knock chunks of debris away from her. Then yelped from a larger building chunk coming and sliced it in half. Only to see a chainsaw blade coming for the girl.

"WWooah!?" Jasmine (L) yelped upon seeing this, and instantly acted in high gear.

Jasmine managed to block with her Golden Gear to counter the blades trying to cut through. Then using her own robot strength, Jasmine dealt a punch to knock the enemy away as it flips to land on the ground with a heavy stomp.

"Too close for comfort?" Jasmine (L) "And you are suppose to be, what now?" Jasmine demands to know who was attacking her now.

The enemy in question resembles what appears to be a cybernetic cyborg wolf with dark silver metallic armor plating, bladed claw fingers, and a red visor over half the top face cover. It had knives strap to the rear plates, a cable-tail with thee cable-like finger features. And on top of the backside was some chainsaw blade that can be equipped to deal serious damage beyond what a normal chainsaw can do.

"I am IF prototype LQ-84i." The male robot wolf introduced its self while placing the chainsaw blade on its backside from the tail having grip cables to equip whenever by choice.

"Say what, your a prototype? What's the IF mean?" Jasmine (L) replied a bit stump to meet something like this out of the blue.

"Interface prototype. All auto outs UGs feature high-leveled onboard artificial intelligence." LQ-84i explained the function of it's capabilities to the target. "An additional prototype interface enables verbal communication." It explained it's function to even communicate with it's targets. "I posses an intellect far beyond human reckoning." The robot wolf explained that it was far superior to that of normal beings.

"You don't say. Wow, and here I thought there were things much worse." Jasmine (L) exclaim to remark what she heard when hearing this robot act all boastful. "Okay then, here's a question: What's the meaning of life?" She decided to quiz this so called advance AI fella. "Come on now, answer? Why are we here?" She was trying to see if this computer foe would have an error malfunction.

Just then the enemy mech wolf threw something right at the robot girl who reacted to dodge. Two daggers impacted the wall as they emitted a high heat source to melt solid foundation.

"I am here to kill you." LQ-84i coldly issued from its three cables moving on the tail, having tried to finish off the target.

There was a third burning dagger which Jasmine (L) managed to catch with two summoned gold gears. The girl dropped the enemy's weapon before signing for relief on how close that was.

"Really? That's your answer?" Jasmine (L) remarked on having guess why this mechanical wolf was here. "You know that's pretty simple thinking for such a mighty intellect working for the Dark One's Army." The girl remarks that is not much a no brainier for an enemy to think.

"I may analyze orders, but I may not disobey them." LQ-84i issued to explain while letting the buzzsaw blade attach to the tail cut across the concrete floor. "Should I disobey a direct order, my memory would be wiped." It revealed the matter that orders need be obey or suffer for disobedience. "I must destroy you and those that came along." It made a direct threat on what must be done, destroy the targets.

COMING ONTO THE SCENE

"Oh Juanita, now this looks like a fight worth watching!" Dallas cheered from witnessing a battle to get one excited.

"And that it is Dallas, that's LQ-84i, a cyborg weapon made by the Winds of Destruction." Juanita issued forth on mentioning the name of the new competitor in the game.

"Yes, and according to this, it's made for one thing: to kill off it's enemies in…" Dallas looked over the data on this particular type; but paused briefly. "Yesh, well, you can imagine how this little devil was made for Mal's proper motive of causing chaos." He issued from looking at the review results, and let's say…it's a messy business.

"And it's robot against robot, anything to boost the views before the battle starts Dallas?" Juanita looked to see how they can make this more exciting then it is.

"As a matter of fact Juanita, I got something that is explosively the best to get even your gears rockin', you follow?" Dallas proposed while doing a bit of fluttering around the robotic lady.

"Just get on with it." Juanita cuts Dallas off to focus on business then relationship even when live.

"Right, this little number is called 'I'm My Own Master Now – Extended Battle Theme', so if you kids out there want something heavy, metallic, rockin' and just feels dyno-mite, look no further!" Dallas issued to have the perfect song track to really get folks to hog crazy.

"Considering it's a doggy eat dog world, and the theme matches those used as tools feel extra intensive. And now, on with the carnage!" Juanita exclaimed from knowing the competitors will feel a share sense with the track before all eyes fell below.

BACK WITH JASIMINE (L)'S BATTLE EVENT

Jasmine (L) had her Mutant Scouter to read any data there was about her enemy. And there was a few surprises she had to be very aware about:

MUTANT: LQ-84i

TYPE: MUTANT CYBORG

RANK: A-

POWER LEVEL: 180,000

Information: A prototype built as a next-generation weapon meant to replace both human combatants and cyborgs. To achieve this, it was deemed necessary to be able to communicate and make intelligent decisions on how to act, hence why he was outfitted with an interface system. During development, this model was outfitted with a learning program, which the researchers of X-Foundation, utilized with an extensive battery of conversations, the nature of which included miscellaneous matters, breakfast-table greetings, the structure of elementary particles, the challenges resulting from rapid globalization, and recent trends in music. The unit was supplied with various website tests in a steady stream online to acquire literacy, which aided in developing from an infantile state of mind, even gaining a process reading of 60 megabytes for plain text for the first year. The unit was funded by the X-Cooperation, for the purpose of being a weapon against dangerous Mutant Beast of B or A Rank threat level. The goal of giving him intellect had succeeded, but lacked brutality, largely from not being human nor have humanity inside it's programming. The project was shelfed until the prototype was stolen by an unseen party which is believed to have been Mal's evil forces at work.

While under forced servitude under Mal's Dark One's Army, had a variety of blade-type weaponry. These included at least six spring-loaded knives that can be flung at an enemy at a quick rate. These knives, upon being launched, are also superheated to the extent that they can sear through metallic surfaces, indicating that they were a knife variant of the heat-friction blade type. In addition, also has a chainsaw attached to the back, with a cutting ability strong enough to cut through stone as well as single handedly cause most of an entire building to collapse. The rotating mechanism has been modified to allow the chainsaw's teeth to vibrate at high-frequency. The chainsaw is useful for multiple applications in combat, including securing battle zones and close range offensives, which included using the chainsaw to cut into an enemy's weakpoint, seriously wounding most individuals. Also has sharp claws, which could use to grip and pin down enemies. The tail also acts as a manipulator arm, which would utilize to hold the chainsaw. Possesses stealth camo, to ambush targets.

"Are you ready to begin!? Or have you chosen to surrender your fate." LQ-84i demands from detecting no movement from the target.

"Sorry, just getting my bearings, it's my first time fighting as myself. Then again, your master Mal may have told you about it?" Jasmine (L) remarked from recalling how she was being used as a weapon to harm others before being freed.

"While I may perform my task, I am my own. I am not a clone of Mal." LQ-841 issued to say that his identified is not like Mal or the other evil clones.

"Funny, then you're IQ must be damage to not know how big a threat he is. And makes less sense to work for this messed up army." Jasmine (L) remarked to insult the cyborg wolf on such poor choices.

"You are stalling, resistance is futile." LQ-841 stated on detecting this was but a waste of time.

"Gee, you know I feel sorry for you. What good is an intellect if you can't use it?" Jasmine (L) remarked on how limited the computerize enemy has less means of making choices.

"Your taunting is pointless." LQ-84i remarked about the attempt to distract him. "Exterminate!" Then the mechanical wolf leaps upwards over Jasmine (L) as she watched him move.

Soon LQ-84i lands on a building ledge to gaze down at the enemy. The background was already playing 'I'm My Own Master Now – Extended Battle' for the rockin' dramatic effect. Jasmine (L) got herself into a battle position, knowing a fight was coming from a dangerous new foe. That's when the robotic wolf unleashed a mighty howling call that shook the entire scenery. Then the robot wolf jumps down before dashing to attack. Jasmine had managed to repel the buzzsaw blades with the flashing of her Golden Gear, the robot girl was trying to push back this deadly robot attacker.

"Combination complete." LQ-84i issued on having performed the measurements before unleashing a golden energy surge through rapid buzzsaw sword swing clash actions.

"TITANIUM GEAR – MODE TOGGLE!" Jasmine announced from performing a Hoop Mode using the Golden Gear weapon. "CLASH!" That move managed to block the buzzsaw sword from reaching her.

"You will die." LQ-84i issued from preparing to go on the offensive, but Jasmine was proving to be capable of holding her own by performing what she call Titanium Mode - Dual Mode to use her split gear blades.

"BBBBZZZzz…./CLASH!" LQ-84i used it's buzzsaw to sliced through a wall side when Jasmine (L) evaded. "CRASH!" The entire section crumbled while bringing down a building side that almost got the robot girl. "CLASH-CLASH…" But Jasmine (L) fired some gear fragment parts to deal damage to the enemy that slowed him down.

"Recovery complete." LQ-841 exclaiemd from having endured and is capable of performing again. "POW!" But then the cyborg wolf channeled a strong gold energy before charging for a tackle run.

"UUuugh!?" Jasmine (L) yelped from the powerful golden aura tackle she endured from this metallic wolf.

"A savvy warrior uses all of his tools. Backup required!" LQ-84i declared that its time for a change of battle tactics.

"Say what now?" Jasmine (L) raised an eyebrow after having heard this.

Soon the robot wolf leaps away from the opponent to land on a building ledge. "AWWWOOOOOOOO!" Then releases a howling noise that spread across the whole area. Then without delay, three Snatch Hunters show up to engage Jasmine (L) next.

"Well I been looking for a reason to hurt these guys for what their leader did." Jasmine (L) remarked from a bad memory before going on the attack.

Jasmine (L) had to watch out for the Snatch Hunters using their claws and their blade tip hairdos. Then Jasmine (L) performed Mini-Gear Distribution after performing a Hoop Mode to launch mini-gears at where the enemies were coming from without warning. When her Golden Gear acted as a ride to perform Gear Grind, she plowed through the enemies before they disappeared as particle dust.

"Your intellect is far below human standard." LQ-84i remarked Jasmine (L)'s performance as it leaps down to rejoin the battle. "Combination attack." As it said that, it began performing rapid fast sword moves that caused Jasmine (L) to be more on the defense but some attacks cut her metallic body.

"Ugh, you really don't hold back on attacks or talking down do you?" Jasmine (L) moans a bit from stepping away to give some room against this weapon enemy.

"Are we both here only to fight, then?" LQ-84i questioned the matter of their choices that has left them in this state. "I will exterminate your consciousness." The enemy declared what it will do when it's finished with it's target.

"I maybe a robot girl, but I like to see you…." Jasmine (L) was about to retort but never got the chance.

But then Jasmine (L) had to watch out for the energy charge mechanical wolf launching attack waves from swinging its buzzsaw blade tail. And if that wasn't enough, it dove to deal actual cuts where Jasmine (L) blocked and tried countering. And every time the enemy had a glowing orange moment, it launch its self with more deadlier force that pushed Jasmine (L) more on defense but she couldn't keep it up too much when being knock across.

"You will die." As LQ-84i snared, it began to roll in the air as a golden buzzsaw attack.

"WOAH!/CLASH!" Jasmine (L) yelped to block but it shot her very far back. "CRASH!" The robot girl crashed into a nearby boulder, as she cracked free while somewhat damaged.

Then Jasmine (L) yelped from watching LQ-84i charge to perform spiral attacks. The attacks penetrated nearby trees and building walls, it was almost like a zig-zag pattern that kept the robot girl on her toes.

"If I wanna show my stuff, I better try dishing out some A-Game!" Jasmine (L) decided to really push herself to help deal better damage. "SPARE PARTS!" The robot girl managed to land a few surprise blows by releasing a Gear Saw against the metallic wolf bot that pushed him further away.

"To continue alone would be foolish. Help me!" LQ-84i issued from leaping backwards onto another wall ledge.

"Again?" Jasmine (L) raised an eyebrow, uncertain who come next.

"AWOoooooooo!" That's when LQ-84i unleashed another mighty wolf call across the entire area. And the ones to respond turn out to be Crying Wolf that leaped outwards to land on the field. Crying Wolf released a mechanical wolf cry into the air. The enemy moved so fast that Crying Wolf unleashed a few exploding grenades to cause confusion.

"Crying Wolf!? Ugh…As if fighting one hard enemy wasn't hard enough?" Jasmine (L) moans on dealing with another powerful foe that joined the scene.

Now Jasmine yelps as Crying Wolf fires the electric cannon that caused her to dodge before watching out for a tackle. Jasmine (L) used her Golden Gear to absorb the rush tackle and muster enough strength to push this wolf sniper away. And then Jasmine (L) unleash some extra energy by performing Enhanced Fragmentation that fired more fragments to distract the foe. Then dealt something called Kick It Into High Gear by releasing mini-gears to damage the legs to stun the enemy. That's when Jasmine (L) thrown her split Golden Gear blades with all her might to penetrate Crying Wolf's defenses as she cried out in pain before becoming immobilized temporally...

"Pant-pant…I guess if I wanted to keep you from hitting me from a distance, this…was my best chance." Jasmine (L) panted from near exhaustion from this struggle.

"ARRRR-WWOOOOOOOOOO!" But then the robot girl hears an angry howling roar that shook the area, as LQ-84i jumped off the wall ledge to prepare its final act on a tired prey.

"Great, now you decide to show up?" Jasmine (L) moans from seeing who decided to come in without warning.

"You call this violence 'civilized?'" LQ-84i remarked from watching how such a fight ended. "You may have stun my pack mate, but you are weak now." LQ-84i declared as his body emits a brighter orange glow. "You will die!" After saying that, it launched forward with claws.

Jasmine (L) yelped before taking one of the two half Golden Gear blades out of Crying Wolf to block the savage attack that put her more on edge. Then Jasmine (L) tried to fire her Many Mini Gears move which releases a bunch of dangerous mini-gears to slow down the enemy, but then she noticed the energy the wolf emit fix the small damages.

"Recovery completed." LQ-84i declared from the small repairs, and began to attack again.

"Seriously, you can fix yourself?" Jasmine (L) protest from watching this action, but then heard a noise behind her. "Uh oh?!" She yelped from seeing Crying Wolf maybe stun but it was charging its weapon for a final finisher while Jasmine (L) stops the other enemy with one blade gear.

"I will obliterate your consciousness." LQ-84i declared as it continued it's relentless assault of golden aura tackle blows. "Reengaging." It announced from stopping and then perform a different attack.

"Guuagh!?" Jasmine (L) yelped from suffering more deadly blows breaching her defenses then she can counter.

"Combination attack." LQ-84i announced to continue the assault before splitting and launching it's burning blade knives move.

Jasmine (L) counters some but not all that damaged to slow her down. LQ-84i performed it's attacks while pinning the robot girl from escaping Crying Wolf's prepared attack. And then LQ-84i even bites her golden gear blade to prevent any chances of escape.

"Caught between a rock and a hard place. What's a girl to do?" Jasmine (L) muttered on how to get out of this, she needs to dish greater damage than what she can do. "Wait, maybe…" She hatched a crazy plan, question is would it work…

Then Crying Wolf unleashed a powerful electric cannon blast, but Jasmine (L) instead leaped backwards to allow the voltage to hit LQ-84i instead. The enemy wolf was dealt major damage while the robot girl landed to take her other gear blade from Crying Wolf to deal the final damage to a stun foe.

"S-Stop…!" LQ-84i yelps to plead when Jasmine clutched the wolf around the neck to lift him up and felt afraid of losing.

"Shoulda…" Jasmine (L) shouted as she jab one gear blade into the robot wolf. "Thought that…" She gave a second blade jab to the bot when lecturing. "BEFORE!" Jasmine (L) shouted when dealing the third blade jab that knocked the enemy to spin in midair.

That's when Jasmine (L) performed a fast motion of cut moves where each one sliced off a piece of LQ-84i until it was nothing more then in pieces.

"Cannot…continue…" LQ-84i uttered these words as its limbless body parts fell onto the floor.

At that moment, the background music cease to continue playing: as the battle was seemingly over. Jasmine (L) felt a little calmed down from seeing she won. But then a com-link channel was active, and she listen in on who's contacting her; only to learn it's the enemy…

"Directive…liberate…new nation…ensure freedom…" Then LQ-84i was heard speaking its words while in a damage state. "Obey directive…must obey directive…no freedom…" The robot wolf stated its directive on what it must do. "Freedom…undefined…" The wolf declared from being unable to determine result.

"Well I might not be a wizz at computers, but what would an AI know about freedom if somebody program that into you…" Jasmine issued about how that's an unexpected action; why seek freedom unless someone planned for such measures even to a machine.

Then without warning, LQ-84i self destructed without warning from extended battle damage. Jasmine shielded herself from the blast, but didn't like how this ended.

ABOVE THE BATTLE SCENE

"Dallas, I don't think this was what we were expecting?" Juanita exclaimed from her beyond shock expression of that battle having ended so quickly and in an unexpected twist.

"I know Juanita, I didn't expect a new rookie to beat a champion killing machine?" Dallas stated from never expecting a surprise reverse play out of the book.

"Oh wait, something else is going on!" Juanita issued from noticing another act in play.

"Really, what's that?" Dallas asked from not having paid close attention after the fight.

"Crying Wolf…it appears she may not be out yet." Juanita stated on knowing another opponent may continue the battle front.

"Well now, let's see if her BARK is as bad as her BITE! Hah!" Dallas grins to let off a chuckle which earn him some look. "Heh, see what I did there. A cleaver pun for a wolf gag, hugh?" He tried to appear funny to Juanita, but she only rolled her eyes instead.

BACK WITH JASMINE (L)

Jasmine (L) suffered some damages but nothing she couldn't recover with due time. But then all eyes turn towards where Crying Wolf was, as the top hatch popped open. Then a female was seen struggling before having slipped out to lie on the snowy floor while exhaling. Jasmine (L) approach carefully, knowing that Crying Wolf was one of the missing Total Drama family members they came to rescue.

"Um, are you okay?" Jasmine asked from thinking maybe she should have hold back; but her life was endanger so…

Course Crying Wolf slowly was getting up halfway while looking like her suit was completely soaked. The female continued to drip ooze of strange substance, possibly something to keep those in the mechanical suit capable of being function. Then without warning, the helmet mask completely fell off.

"What the?" Jasmine yelped to hold her split Golden Gear blades in defense.

That's when the hidden beauty under the metal beast was revealed. The liquid began to warp the outfit to fit the female's mutated appearance, and apparently used to keep a human-like form until now. She was actually half the size of an average adult near the waist-line about 4 feet tall. Not to mention was an anthropomorphic wolf with brown skin and biscotti fur, thick black eyelashes and cloudy white fur around the eyes resembling a mask. The eyes are cadet blue, although they are closed to the point of squinting. Wears light gray eyeshadow and has a long, bushy tail which ends in several tufts of fur sticking out in various directions. Also has a black nose, long-pointed ears and quite long hair that keeps tied at the back in a ponytail with a black hair tie, save for a long, thick hair bang that covers the right eye, and pointed cheeks are a little fluffy. The fangs protrude from the mouth which is often in a natural frown. For attire, wears a cream-colored tube top, light gray leggings, and a dark gray cloak. The cloak also has black and dark gray pockets seen on the shoulders. The outfit geared includes dark gray arm sleeves with black elbow pads, dark gray and light gray gloves with visible dark brown claws, and dark gray knee sleeves and black knee pads. Sports military-fashioned black, dark gray, and light gray boots. This was the true mutated form Beauty behind the Beast of Crying Wolf…

"Oh….my…?" Jasmine (L) was literally surprised that someone she fought, could appear as something so pretty and harmless.

"I hear them…" Crying Wolf muttered these words out as if some scuffing mix of male and female voices are heard. "I hear the cries…" She ushered out for one to hear her when she stood up briefly. "The cries of babies." She exclaimed with an agonizing tone of sorrow: within her mind, she hears cries of babies echoing so loudly. "Stop it!" She snapped as if sounding delusional at the wind. "Stop crying!" She yells at the imagine voices of crying babies. "Please!" She pleaded as if wanting the cries to stop. "Please, stop crying!" She drops to her knees, begging for the cries to stop torturing her.

Jasmine (L) was taken aback, there was something wrong with this girl. She recalled Mal implanted someone else's personality into a Total Drama member and they behaved differently. But this just seem more like torture then anything. Just then Crying Wolf yelped to gasped at seeing something, making Jasmine (L) turn off what got her spooked.

"No, wolf…" Crying Wolf muttered with her voice now normal again but under a frighten tone when a white wolf was seen: but it was only an illusion to her when Jasmine (L) saw nothing. "Go away." She pleaded for the imagine wolf to leave. "Don't come any closer." She muttered from her fear taking hold of her: as she clutch herself while hearing more baby cries. "I'm sorry." She apologized while sounding so sorry to the voices. "I was so scared." She admits her fault to the voices in her mind. "Forgive me." She cried while begging forgiveness of the cries she hears. "I'm sorry." She apologized again, wishing for the torture to end.

"Woah, this just feels…so wrong?" Jasmine (L) felt like watching this girl suffer when she cries felt…too much.

"You can cry if you want to." Crying Wolf muttered about this to one that wishes to cry with her. "Cry if you need to." She issued that there's no shame to cry when one feels like it.

Crying Wolf continued to cry herself as her emotions overwhelm her. Then suddenly she stops to look up, at Jasmine (L)'s direction.

"No…" Crying Wolf muttered forth as she undid her fetal position. "I don't need tears anymore." She issued as she began to slowly crawl to Jasmine who moved a few steps back. "I've cried myself dry." She stated as if delusional of her sanity before standing up.

"Hugh…?" Jasmine (L) yelped with concern, uncertain what was happening.

"So cry…" Crying Wolf exclaimed this message to the robot girl. "As much as you like." She offered Jasmine (L) a chance to shed her tears while moving with open arms to the girl keeping a distance. "I…Will be there to listen." She gently smiled to help ease one's urge to cry.

"Listen, I hate to mention this, but I'm now a robot, I'm pretty sure robots don't cry at…" Jasmine (L) tried to have reason be known that it's impossible for robots to shed tears.

But Jasmine (L) didn't guard herself when Crying Wolf suddenly moved forward quickly. The bot girl swung her blade but the enemy dodged, and then…Crying Wolf touched her. A white flame aura coated the robot girl due to contact, and would transfer the enemy's trauma experience to them. Jasmine (L) quickly broke off but for a brief moment, she heard crying…the cries of babies. The robot girl was immediately alert, but her system read she's fine….but the natural instincts said otherwise. And that's when the robot girl used her Mutant Scouter to learn what's going on with her opponent:

MUTANT: CRYING WOLF – BEAUTY MODE

TYPE: MUTANT MAMMAL – WOLF

RANK: A-

POWER LEVEL: 196,000

Information: The Total Drama family member was once known as Cindy, Sadie's sister. Was mutated into a wolf girl using the mutated DNA of a unique B-Rank Mutant Beast type of wolf that was close to A-Rank. The evidence showed it was a lone survivor of a pack, and ate what it could to grow stronger and strike predators by surprise attacks. These feats gave birth to one who can spot prey afar and strike with perfect long-range tactics. However due to Cindy being an average girl, controlling the feral wolf side effects made it hard to behind and focus on job task. Having the skills, speed, and strength to be top alpha of A-Rank Mutant Beast means nothing if the mind isn't stable.

To compensate using a new mutant tool, was given the persona of another Mal found useful and even provided a suit of armor to help restrain the power level from A to B Rank. Should the Beast Mode meet defeat, the Beauty Mode will engage the enemy, and cause pain to target by touch to transfer untold mental damage that will break the opponent's physical and mental state.

"Cindy!? You're Sadie's sister, who I've seen her crazy strength…Okay, so now you're more dangerous then you were earlier?" Jasmine (L) exclaimed from seeing the real danger the Beauty version might have on someone with a robotic skin protection.

Realizing it's dangerous for touch contact, Jasmine (L) used her Gear Grind move to keep Crying Wolf from touching her. But the strange weather of wind was blowing, which made it hard to see. There were sounds of cries, and growling wolves. Jasmine wasn't certain if they were real from the opponent or not. But then a strange unseen force caused the nearby glass to shatter without warning.

"Woah!?" Jasmine (L) yelps from the unknown danger that was unleashed.

Jasmine (L) quickly went from being defensive to being more mobile by climbing up some nearby stairs. While trying to spot where Crying Wolf might come, voices are heard in the loud winds followed by crackling thunder.

"Eeehhh-Hurhurhurraaaahhh!?" The sudden cries of Crying Wolf was heard, alerting Jasmine (L) that she was close by.

"Take This!" Then a male voice was heard echoing within the winds.

"BASH!/GUUUAGH!?" Then a loud metallic bang noise was heard followed by a yelp female cry.

"Stop!" Another male voice was heard in the winds

The sounds of panting wolves were heard, as if on the move. Jasmine (L) was feeling like she was not able to find a way to escape with something in pursue and one where she can't see where it'll come from.

"Hahahahah…" Crying Wolf's voice was heard, but it sounded like a delusional laughter echo in the winds.

The sounds of crying babies were heard but sound louder then before, making Jasmine cringe from the noise. Followed by the sounds of a crying woman's voice, it's as if a sense of feeling was creeping into one's soul. The loud thunder boom noise was heard, as Jasmine yelped from feeling something was approaching her next area.

"Hey…" A female voice was heard calling within the wind.

"Hugh?" Jasmine (L) yelped from hearing voices she didn't know.

"Hey…" The same female voice was heard again somewhere in the area.

"Nothing here?" A male voice was heard echoing within the air.

Jasmine (L) was on high alert while hearing the strange noises of things and voices of a ghostly past.

"Hey?" The same female voice called again, but this time followed by some crying sounds.

"She's close?" Jasmine (L) yelped as she immediately decided to jump off the post building onto the ground. "GEAR GRIND!" She announced the name of her technique while summoning her golden gear to act like a ride.

Jasmine (L) quickly performed a motion drive but heard loud shockwave forces that cause the area to shake. The robot girl felt like her senses were going crazy from the untold readout. But what really freaked her out was hearing the sound of a screaming girl's voice, the kind you hear in horror films. The major distraction caused Jasmine (L) to lose control and without knowing it, crashed into the mechanical body armor of Crying Wolf's Beast Mode.

"UUrrgh…I'm stuck…and jam good!?" Jasmine yelped from her stuck state, as she tried to wiggle out. Then the sounds of crying babies were heard, causing the robot girl's senses to have a malfunction. "Aahhh….again?"

"Cry…Cry…" Crying Wolf's voice was suddenly heard very close by, even behind the winds of the snow one could spot a figure.

That's when a sudden effect cause the entire scenery to change. When Jasmine saw her surroundings, it was if one was in a white void. And approaching the pin robot girl, was Crying Wolf herself. The enemy gave the robot girl a hug, and suddenly the white flaming aura was sinking into Jasmine (L)'s metallic frame.

"AAahhhhh…." Jasmine (L) cried out as she felt strange effects, the voices and trauma were rushing all at once. "Get off!" She snapped to force the wolf girl off summoning a few fragmented gear parts.

"Ugh…?" Crying Wolf was pushed back slightly while having felt the first battle damage. "Geee-Hurhurhurrrrhh…." But then she held her shoulders and began to display her emotional state.

"Ooohhh….my systems are messed up, and now I'm torn between guilt for hurting her and her pain." Jasmine (L) exclaimed from feeling this motion that's tearing her apart against such an opponent to pity.

"Cry…Cry…" Crying Wolf muttered these words as she slowly got up.

"I'm gonna feel bad, but between us….forgive me." Jasmine (J) issued from deciding to gamble on one last shot to victory. "SWING SHIFT!" The robot girl was performing a powerful move of making her Godlen Gear spin much faster. "HARDWARE OVERLOAD!" Followed by unleashing out a ton of Mini-Gears from her body….

"ARRrrrrrghhh!?" Crying Wolf screamed from the next damage, but then leaped to clutch onto the still pin Jasmine (L). "AAAaaaahhhhh!?" It was a battle of endurance between Jasmine (L)'s defensive protection and the contact of Crying Wolf passing on her pain. "WAAAaaAAAAHHHHH!"

"AAAaaahhhhh!" Jasmine (L) screamed as her attack destroyed untold dark particles resembling fur at an alarming rate.

"AAAAAhhhhhhh!?" Crying Wolf released a final cry to the air as if…about to lose.

Then a great flash erupted that blinded everyone's sights. As the light faded, so too did the white void place, and in the real world…a victory was made. And we spot Crying Wolf standing for a brief moment but then topples down on the ground. Then the wolf girl slowly moves into a fetal position while particles disappear off her body. Jasmine was still pin under the mechanical wolf body while having suffered, but looked to the body of Crying Wolf.

"Huh…is she?" Jasmine looked at the fallen foe closely, and saw something…breathing. "Ugh, base on the view and what some of my systems are stating, she's got a pulse, a weak one but she's alive." The girl robot then noticed that the part for the main thunder revolver was next to her, Jasmine (L) grabbed it to help get a charge flowing. "Hmm? A call?" That's when Jasmine (L) yelped from hearing a ring on the com-link, and answered who's contacting her.

"Yo, Jasmine (L). I finished laundering that rail gun you picked up just now. Thanks to you're system working with the nano-machines. Knock yourself out. It's on the house." Drebin's voice was heard on the com-link giving credit to Jasmine (L) for what she achieved and a nice reward weapon.

"Gee, thanks. Just what a girl always wanted." Jasmine (L) rolled her optic eyes from having heard such a thing. "Wish I had this earlier." She stated on wishing she got such a weapon when facing such hard foes before.

"Against that cyborg pooch, nah, but hay….at least you're keeping track with your pals Duncan and Heather." Drebin replied while giving a little extra intel on the house.

"You mean they won their fights?" Jasmine (L) asked from sounding amazed by the news.

"Against members of the BB Corps and Winds of Destruction, you folks are on a roll." Drebin praises those for having done a nice little extra bit of work to make an effort. "But I also shared background stories on the victims, what say you?" He asked from knowing nobody would turn down a good story tip about tragic victims of war.

"Of the ones before or….oh, you must mean…" Jasmine (L) realized who Drebin meant; background about Crying Wolf.

"Alright Jasmine, time for another bedtime story to you TD Crew, since you earn a break. This one's about Crying Wolf." Drebin issued from having the latest info about the wolf girl in question. "You don't need me to tell you there's whole nations in Africa tearing themselves apart in the name of ethnic cleansing." He explained a historical event that happened a long time ago in Africa. "Well, she was born into that environment." He issued that the origin of Crying Wolf started in that very place.

"You mean the persona of Crying Wolf?" Jasmine (L) asked from realizing who Drebin was referring.

"Yep! When she was a little girl, her village was attacked by rival armed factions." Drebin explained what terrible event happen to the younger person before becoming who she is today. "Her parents and siblings were slaughtered, and she was left a refugee." He revealed a shock twist that left the poor child without much a family.

"Woah! That ain't right. They took away her whole family?" Jasmine (L) yelped upon hearing a horrible story off the bat like that.

"Not all. She took her last surviving relative, her baby brother, and ran as far as she could away from the war zone." Drebin explained an act of an older sister wanting to protect the last family member they had alive. "One day, they came across an enemy unit, so she took her brother and hid in an abandoned shack." He went into details of what unfortunate fate had befallen such souls. "And then her brother started to cry…" When Drebin brought that topic up, it did not sound good.

"Oh no….babies crying…and with soldiers there? What happen?" Jasmine (L) asked from not liking how this story had way too many real danger stuff of reality.

"She knew that if the soldiers heard the noise, they would find them and kill them both." Drebin explained the awful event that gamble the lives of two innocent victims. "So she wrapped her hand as tight as she could around his mouth." When he mentioned this, it sounded very firm on what an older sibling did with a baby.

"Just to keep the baby quiet? I guess she had no choice." Jasmine (L) tried to think logically if one was in such a situation.

"As the footsteps gradually went away, she came back to her senses." Drebin explained what occurred when the danger had passed. "Her brother wasn't crying anymore." He replied with a dead dry tone when revealing such an answer.

"Not crying, but how….wiat….no!?" Jasmine (L) gasped from almost hoping this next part was not true, but…

"Horrified, she pulled her hand away, covered in sweat and spit." Drebin issued on what befallen the younger Crying Wolf that covered a baby's mouth from making a peep…and more. "He wasn't breathing." He issued a cold tone on the dark playout.

"No….that's too cruel!?" Jasmine (L) felt really sad upon learning what happen to those that wanted to live.

"They say wolves eat their own pups when they die." Drebin darkly inform those of a tale not told as often as heard. "She was spotted wandering through the thick of battle carrying her dead brother in her arms." He revealed what happen to the girl who didn't leave the baby behind. "She had visions, too…a wolf walking alongside her." When he mentioned this, it sounded like a ghost following the unfortunate.

"A wolf….then she must have seen it again when she was exposed? But why?" Jasmine (L) tried to understand where an unseen wolf comes into the picture.

"Why? Every night, the wolf would howl and cry, just like her brother did that day." Drebin explained the horrifying reality that never left the victim alone. "Eventually, she made it to a government-run refugee camp." The guy mention some luck that occurred for the poor soul. "But by then, her brother's body had rotted away." He explained the sad measure of a delusional girl holding hope when there was none left.

"Ohhh…if I was still flesh, I puke from imagining that?" Jasmine (L) clutch her stomach from wishing to not lose her lunch, or gear bits if possible.

"Think that's bad? The camp was crowded with refugees like herself, and little children like her brother." Drebin explained the next event that came to play of the unfortunate sister that lost a sibling. "Day and night she was tormented by the cries of babies." He exclaimed the harsh feeling that one goes through of reliving such a traumatic experience.

"Okay, that's not a good way to recover after that happen." Jasmine (L) exclaimed from knowing that theory was needed to help folks like that.

"There's more. The wolf that followed her, heard her sorrowful screams and answered." Drebin explained a shocking twist of the same beast that tailed a younger Crying Wolf and what he did. "He made his way around the camp." He issued what the wolf did upon entering… "And one by one…He silenced the children." Drebin was soft when revealing the darkest event that came.

"What!? The wolf…did that….to others? Why didn't she stop it?" Jasmine (L) asked from thinking maybe calling for help would have done the trick.

"She tried to stop it, but she was powerless to stop the wolf." Drebin revealed the tale of where one girl couldn't win against a beast. "A few days passed, and on the eve of the enemy's raid, there wasn't a child left." He revealed the next horrible event that awaited others the next day. "The adults who survived were torn up pretty bad." Drebin admits that what was felt, can be a heavy wakeup call from losing so many little lives.

"Who could blame anyone from losing not one, but so many children. And to one lonely wolf attack." Jasmine (L) looked a bit down, sadden that such a terrible faith befell so many children.

"Of course, there never was any wolf in that camp." Drebin revealed a shocking truth to the mix that alerted everybody. "She was the one who killed those babies." He dare say who the real culprit was the whole time.

"WHAT!? You're kidding, right? Please, I audience for things but this acting is taking it too far!?" Jasmine (L) yelped from trying to make sense, such a harsh matter of performing such deeds was not humane.

"Wish I can say yes if it was anything except the truth. But the one called Crying Wolf couldn't bring herself to admit it." Drebin issued to reveal more surprises that shock more listeners. "She couldn't bear the thought of herself going from one baby to the next, howling like a wolf, snuffing out their little lives." He explained the harshest matter of one trying to deny doing such an action only after the deed was done. "And she never did, even as Crying Wolf, a lonely beast forever stalking the battlefield." Drebin concludes on how the tragic tale made Crying Wolf exist to the day.

"I never…knew someone could go through that much in a life? Makes me think maybe life was alright from the start." Jasmine (L) felt pretty bad from learning someone underwent a traumatic experience like that.

"Jasmine (L), fighting with you made Crying Wolf finally accept what she's done." Drebin issued to have the robot girl know something important that was done. "She was cleansed by you." He stated that in the end, Jasmine (L) helped free the guilt persona of Crying Wolf that suffered so long.

"By me?" Jasmine (L) asked from not sure how she did anything special.

"If the cries she heard of children on the battlefield have been silenced, it's because of you." Drebin pointed out how thanks to the Total Drama member, Crying Wolf will never hear the torture cries again. "You ought to be proud." He praised the robot girl for having done such a noble feat.

"You may say it, but I still feel kinda down about such a hollow victory?" Jasmine (L) admits that even such a winning didn't feel as glamour as one hoped for.

"Whatever floats your boat, but you can know this much on the enemy count on the BB Corp." Drebin issued on trying to help cheer Jasmine (L) up a bit. "Three down, one to go." Drebin announced that with opponents like Laughing Octopus, Raging Raven and now Crying Wolf taken out, one remains. "All that's left of the BB Corp is Screaming Mantis." Drebin revealed the final BB Corp member that's left uncheck. "But you and your pals should know, Jasmine (L)…she's been controlling all the other Beasts. She's the Beast of Beasts." Drebin forewarns those of how much a scarier opponent Screaming Mantis is compared to the other beast. "Don't let her get her hooks in you." He warns those to be careful or else it'll be the end.

"I won't. I'll pass the message along." Jasmine (L) stated on what she do, and pray the others won't get caught by an even trickier enemy.

"I'll have your pal Cameron pick you up. See you around, Jasmine." Drebin replied to give a final say before the com-link ended…

Jasmine (L) was still pin under the Crying Wolf mecha armor but was busy feeling a strange glow. The robot girl didn't know it, but she was apparently experiencing a strange effect to her mutated body. She was expelling a white sphere that form see-through gears in turning motion, as if underdoing a maintenance process. Above the scene, Dallas and Juanita observe the weird scene, and the thought of intervening cross some minds. Until Juanita received a connection signal that made beep noises before she finished analyzing it.

"Dallas, we've gotten a call?" Juanita issued to her host companion.

"The network? Look, if they ask about those anchorman wigs I can explain…" Dallas asked from sensing he was caught with the hands in a cookie jar gig…

"No, from one of those in-charge around here." Juanita issued from stating where the call originated from.

"Ohhh….the big dog himself?" Dallas stated on knowing what Juanita was talking about.

"Says to join for a special event, either we're there or we're dead." Juanita issued on the two options which only one is in their favor.

"Well what are we waiting for. No time like the present." Dallas issued to say they get going, and pronto too.

While Dallas and Juanita left, Jasmine continue to undergo something which was very strange. But the answer was about to come from when the sphere form died down…

"Mutation Evolution!" Jasmine (L)'s voice was heard but in a more robotic tone on what preparation was done. "RANK-UP – Complete!" With that final announcement, it was clear that Jasmine (L) has just gone through a self-evolving trait.

When Jasmine (L) regain her senses afterwards, she was able to finally notice what happened to herself. The girl was still a humanoid female robot with white metal plating and golden coils making up the arms, neck, and abdomen. But now the body was upgraded to the next level, starting from being 8 feet tall to 10 feet tall. The shoulders were given advance pad materials, the white gauntlet hands had more tech and glove material for hardness. The legs had protective gear sides, split tread pads for the knees covering the new heavy metallic bootwear. While the bronze body frame for the stomach, arms and neck stay same, around the chestplate was a new battlegear with a center circle piece. The head still consists of circular bolt on each side; blue eyes with red, and glowing pupils. However there were six vents on the head while in the center forehead was embedded with a grander gear symbol plus a split gear acting almost like a Mohawk hair style. Finally the most interesting was the Golden Gear weapon covered with tech covers on the edges with glowing circle symbols.

-JASMINE (L)'S VIDEO-

"Jasmine, are you there?" Cameron's voice was heard contacting the girl by the com-link.

"Ugh, yeah…I'm here…" Jasmine (L ) replied a bit surprised but answered Cameron's call. "But I look really different now?" The girl stated from viewing what's become of her.

"My scans detected a mutation in your system, and I just ran the numbers. Hold on, the data's coming through." Cameron issued from wishing to share what he uncovered.

That's when something projected from the robot girl's chest piece that had a screen with a message:

NEW UPDATE

*Mechanical Elite Gear Drive (High Class – Rank Uniquely Rare): Just like the previous version only with 'Elite' in the name. Study shows due to contact of nano-machines improving the body along with the Mutagen property, followed by undergoing a mechanical upgrade process using material components of a defeated but strong mechanical body of an opponent. The ingredients thereby enhanced the robotic body with faster and stronger actions then before with better defense and offense. Now the humanoid robot can perform feats to compete against B and A Rank opponents, plus use newly harden upgraded gear grinds projectiles and main melee arsenal, and finally charging down targets as a giant gear wheel to act like a 100-Man Army scale.

"Woah!?" Jasmine (L) replied utterly surprised by this piece of good news.

"It looks like the nano-machines inside you worked together with your robotic systems with some outside source materials." Cameron "It's possible the mutated ooze had an effect, but there was still something outside the match energy signature. Were you in any contact with anything?" The guy asked from trying to figure out how the science can explain the details.

"Well I was near the mechanical beast suit of what Crying Wolf used. But, it's no longer around?" Jasmine (L)

"Intriguing, why would you by instinct have that merge to make you stronger? Was there no firewall protection?" Cameron pondered to think about how such a thing was possible.

"Hmmm…maybe….it's more like what I got instead?" Jasmine (L) stated from having taken in the sorrow her foe had; and to make sure no one she cared for would result in endless crying.

"Well good job, oh by the way while we're on route to pick you and one of the family victim members, can you check the enemy wolf you fought." Cameron made a request for the robot girl to secure something from LQ-84i.

"Sure, but why? It's totally busted." Jasmine (L) replied but was uncertain what Cameron wanted that cyborg wolf when the body was destroyed.

"I wanna see if maybe it's AI Chip is intact. It may provide information." Cameron explained what he was thinking in terms ahead; an AI Chip may hold valuable information. "Plus I'm curious about it's level of independence. Maybe we can have it be on our side." The guy stated on having some idea of what can help them out by using a discarded item for their advantage.

"Sure, whatever makes you geniuses happy. I'll watch over Sadie's sister Cindy till then." With enough said, the com-link ended while Jasmine (L) process herself. "Hugh…Waking up after that exhausting battle, and finding out you undergone an upgrade is a surprise? But, better to come out with something after all that, I just hope we can do as much as possible…before anyone else suffers." Jasmine (L) expressed her thoughts and feelings about winning their fight to save the world.

With that much said, she gets up to slowly pick up Cindy and go to where she will get a lift out. The scene goes dark with much more questions left to be answered another time…

MEANWHILE

IN OUTER SPACE

The scene changes over the Earth, but something was rotating around the planet. At first it appeared to be a satellite, but it's figure was strange, almost…human? And it turns out to be Satera, a mutated evil clone of Mal. The space cowboy was just relaxing with his hat over his head. But then strange metallic particles were flowing around that came from the planet below…

"Hoo…to think someone can reach me up here?" Satera peaks out to see that he was about to have company.

Then something began to form into a figure of almost 40 feet tall. Resembles a dark metal alloy frame of a robot and a warrior of high command to lead armies. Even was armed with alien tech-like weapons from an axe-tip sword to a mounted arm cannon. The helmet was merge with curve horn tusk by the cheek areas. The face was more of an older male robot figure but with glowing red optic eyes. This robot figure emitted a strong dark aura miasma, demonstrating he is one to be fear, respected, and well known as a cold destroying warmonger…

"Satera, so this is where you been lying about?" The mysterious mechanical being addressed with a deep, cold, unfeeling strict tone of one who holds power to command. "I am the Dark General of Military Base Sector 7 within the Dark Kingdom. I sent my living metal particles so we may speak." He addressed both his intro and his purpose to find the rowdy space cowboy.

"Whistle…The fame Harbinger Of Death – Galva?" Satera whistled under his breath to meet one of Mal's strongest 7 evil mutated dark clones. "So, what honor is there for you to reach me?" He asked as there must be something special to have this talk.

"The recent news of what has left our creator Mal, in an inactive state has been brought to attention. And those responsible have begun tampering with my dominion." Galva explained the current situation that has unfolded even up to the current of events happening now.

"Really, those Total Drama kids giving you trouble?" Satera asked from thinking that was a lot to believe.

"They have already aided a few Mike-Alike resistances and have dealt a blow." Galva issued on how serious the situation has become that he calls this clone orbiting the planet. "We lost three for three, of those of the BB Corp and Winds of Destruction." He revealed military class secrets of the lose of some elite soldiers in the army he commands.

"I see, but that also means the leaders themselves have NOT yet fallen?" Satera exclaimed from knowing not all the best players were taken out.

"Correct. Which is why I can only assume my enemies are planning a final measure to gather any scrounge forces to attack. When you're enemy is weaken and cornered, you strike with everything you got." Galva explained the military tactic measure of anticipating what his foes will do given an open opportunity. "But I'll have a surprise or two waiting for them." The guy declares on having a few hidden cards left un-played.

"And, how can I be of help?" Satera asked of what he gets out of this.

"I want you to thin the herd from where they cannot reach you." Galva instructs Satera on what his job is, attacking with his special ability; satellite laser fire strikes. "I expect the strong may make it through, but I will have those waiting. Including my own design weapons of destruction to engage." He explained what next steps are taken that will assure victory.

"Well-well, sounds like you have everything under control." Satera stated on how this Dark General has the perfect means of being the military skills with Mal's personality.

"No…I will not underestimate my enemies. And that should go for you." Galva informs the mutated space cowboy to not drop his guard. "Failure is not an option. Now report to your station!" When that was over, the living metal disappeared into scatter fragments drifting in space.

"Hoo, looks like things are gonna get a little heated up?" Satera smiled to push his hat up while looking ready. "That might make things quite…DANDY indeed." The guy felt like this time, things may get a little more interesting then when he last saw the Total Drama bunch.

Soon Satera began to move through the unlimited space of outer space. And then looked down to Earth, as he spread his solar panels of the satellite for arms forth. They began to gather energy from the sun, powering the space cowboy as he aims his guns down together. Charging and awaiting….to pull a trigger to wipe out armies. The scene goes dark as more shocking tales may yet come of who will win a war against the Dark General Galva…

NOTES: The identity of Mr. X is revealed at last within the second portion of the story. Tying elements from the Xander Payne from the Mega Man Archie Comics with his own unique ability.

*Now in the beginning, I thought a wealthy billionaire would make this exciting, but after the thought of bringing in Mike's other personalities and giving them clone bodies came inspiration. Followed by a secret and unknown plot to really grab some attention. And what could be better then a Mike from the future trying to help prepare those against a greater threat.

The Titans mentioned will be further revealed down the road. But I think some fans can take a pretty good guess who they are.

The M-Clone Troopers are pretty much base on the soldiers from the Halo games. And a bit of Red VS Blue with the different color theme, but mostly from Halo. The armor is used by humans but the advance weapons are those used by the alien side.

*Pretty much this was the best that could separate out a few named OC clones yet to make appearances while throwing a few unknown extras in the mix to make up the troops.

Many battle events and scenes tie in to Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.

*Interesting note, there are two different scenes when defeating a BB Corp member. The 'Normal' being their suits turn harden when attacking the Beauty Mode first chance you get, but 'Cleansing' appears possible when one enters the white room by trying to avoid contact (this seems mostly for photo shots or playing music for dance scenes). But if defeated in Cleansing, they live.

*Originally wanted to have all four main stars of the BB Corp and Winds Of Destruction, but decided to save the leaders for the next chapter instead.

MIKE-ALIKES: (OCs made by Authors/Reviewers)

-VISION-KING's OC-

Name: Drebin

Faction: Mike-Alike

Profession: Gun Launder

Appearance: Four-Arm Yeti Form: Appearance is a 10-12 feet tall, appeared like some kind of Yeti with four-arms? The skin was tan blue with white fur on the hair, elbow-wrist, from waist to ankles acting like pants. The hair was comb and had a short beard, yellow color eyes, and had sharp triangle teeth. Wears an armor wardrobe of black ankle pads, waist guard, wristbands connected to armor protected gloves, and wore a chestplate with blue crystal spikes as shoulder pads. The other interesting piece was a dark overcoat big enough for a muscular yeti humanoid to have conceal weaponry. (Note: Picture Slam Bam but his Awakened Form from Skylanders: Ring Of Heroes)

Personality: (Drebin from Metal Gear Solid 4)

Bio: A created clone of Mike who manifested a different personality compared to the original. Now this version was almost like a different Mike entirely. Having the talent of doing small simple magic tricks, he's got the salesman status to sell his products to customers. Course his profession is dealing with illegal weapons launderer and being an arms dealer, but has some degree of some ethical standards. Namely, makes it clear that he would not endanger his own customers, citing that keeping special individuals alive would be more aligned with his best interests than endangering such a life. The guy also enjoys drinking soda.

When made he along with other good clones were dumped on an unknown island where they began to thrive their own community. But on the day the Dark One's Army came and apprehended many while only a few escape capture. Drebin was secretly given a choice to be an agent of the Dark One's Army, to get connections with the latest arms deals to strengthen their forces. Drebin saw it as a business deal and took it up, and was given a chance of his own personal Mutant Cell Capsules to strengthen himself. He became a four-arm yeti creature, giving strength, speed, and unseen abilities to survive in the coming of a war about to go down. And while Drebin makes bargins to gain certain arms, he was free to do as he pleased so long as he gains arsenals for Mal's army. Course athough Drebin was ultimately an agent of Mal's army, he isn't actually loyal to them. He even finds a means of when some Total Drama members came around his neck of the woods, and believed they were special enough to end the dark war going on.

MUTANT POWER: Four-Arm Ice Yeti Formula (Same abilities as Slam Bam from Skylanders)

Status: Alive

Fate: Went to X-Island to start up his own company, knowing other Mike-Alikes that have a talent for selling merchandise and other arms could need a hand. And that it'll eventually defeat Mal and his army since their plans of total world domination and destruction were…bad for business.

-Atom King's OC-

Name: Hellion

Faction: Mike-Alike
