Author's Notes
Greetings, fellow readers. I have already returned with the next chapter. Yes, even I am surprised by the speed at which I upload these chapters.
You can already see that there is a routine of uploading a new chapter every two days, but the next chapter may take a little longer to arrive, as I will be busy with other things this weekend.
Warning: With this chapter, I have made the decision to raise the rating of this story from K+ to T, for some scenes that can be a bit harsh.
Well, now we are going to answer the reviews:
AnnoyingAlarmClock: Yes. I have tried to sound as neutral as possible so that no one will get suspicious. In my opinion, Pahkitew Island is not a bad season, but I consider it the most forgettable season of the franchise. I did not know of the existence of Pahkitew Island until a few years ago when I saw the series again.
Guest 1138: I hope I did not disappoint you by the early revelation of the mole, but it was necessary, because I can assure you, that there will be people who will know the truth eventually, as someone will in this chapter. About the challenge, even the title is a reference to the episode "Wawanakwa Gone Wild!".
Gucci Mane LaFlare: Rita is starting to gain importance in the plot. She will also be important in this chapter.
PrincessGumballWatterson777: Sorry, but I'm not going to do that. I plan to use only my OCs as contestants.
Well that's it for here. Enjoy the chapter!
Total Drama: Enchanted
Chapter 4 - Don't Deal with the Devil
It was night on Pahkitew Island. They were all sleeping peacefully in their cabins, but there was one person who was busy.
In a control room, in the underground facilities of the island, was Karen, standing in front of the blackboard with the photos of all the contestants of this season.
"And now, who's next?"
She was rearranging her photos in a specific order. When finished, she sees the list, and smiles.
"Oh, this is going to be a lot of fun."
Karen yawns and decides to retire to rest. She leaves the control room and goes to the elevator that was waiting for her.
"I just have to stay calm and smile. If some of those fools found out about me…".
She enters the elevator and begins to rise to the surface.
"Heh. Yeah right. I got pretty far. Who could catch me now?"
The elevator reaches the surface, and the door opens.
"Now is a good time for… AAAAHHHH!" she screams in surprise.
It turns out that right in front of the elevator exit, there was the smiling Isaac, just standing there.
"Good night, Karen."
Karen was shocked. Isaac watched her get out of the elevator. It is obvious that she could already suspect.
"I-I-I can explain it" she stuttered.
"You don't have to explain anything. I know what you were doing down there."
"No, you don't" she wanted to walk away, but Isaac seemed to block the exit.
"Of course, I know. I know what your goals are… mole."
Karen's eyes widen in surprise. "I don't know what you're talking about" she tries to play innocent.
"Maybe you don't know me at all, but I do know you. I work in an Emporium of Fortune. My cards can see the past, the present, and the future of a person."
"So what? Are you going to tell everyone the truth?"
"No need. I have already seen how things will play out on this show. There are people here who will find out the truth eventually."
"So, you know I'm going to have to eliminate you eventually."
"I know, and I don't care. I didn't come here for that million dollars. I have other goals in mind."
"So, you're not going to tell anyone?"
"I don't see it necessary. In fact, I find it quite noble that you do all of this… for him."
Karen is shocked. "How do you know!?".
"Oh, I know lots of things" said Isaac. "LOTS OF THINGS".
Karen didn't want to admit it, but she was starting to get chills.
"You say you know how things are going to play out here?" she managed to ask.
"That's right".
"And do you know what my future will be in this game?"
"Of course, and I can tell you about it, but I must tell you... that I don't work for free."
Karen frowns. "I have nothing to pay you in return."
"But there is one thing you can do for me" Isaac explained. "I tell you about your future, and, in return, you will do me a favor."
Karen was silent. On the one hand, she was very interested in knowing her future, but she didn't want to have to negotiate with a guy like Isaac.
"So, is it a deal then?"
Isaac offers his hand, with his classic creepy smile. Karen thinks about it carefully, and...
"Deal".
She takes Isaac's hand and the deal is closed.
Suddenly, inexplicably, Karen's shadow began to grow and rise over the tree behind her, as if it were beginning to have a life of its own.
Isaac saw that and smiles, and Karen didn't notice.
"Excellent. Now come with me."
They both go into the dining room, which was totally dark. Karen wanted to turn on the lights, but Isaac stopped her, saying they need to be dark for his trick to work.
They were both sitting at a table, facing each other. Isaac had gotten some candles and his deck of cards. He was shuffling the cards, while Karen was just tapping a finger on the table, waiting.
"We can start now."
Karen sits up properly, and pays attention.
"Go ahead. Look at your cards, and tell me what awaits me in the future."
Isaac picks up his cards and spreads them all in his hands.
"Pick three cards."
Karen grabs 3 cards, and puts them away, without looking.
Isaac instructs her to hand over her cards. Karen handed them over to him.
Isaac looks carefully at the cards, then closes his eyes and extends his other hand in front of the cards with two raised fingers, and recites:
"Emag eht ni nerak fo erutuf eht su wohs."
The flames in the candles moved as if there was a blizzard blowing through the place, despite having all the windows closed.
Isaac places the cards on the table in front of Karen.
"What do you see?" asked a very interested Karen.
Isaac turns the first card over.
"Karen was negotiating with some unknown subjects."
Then flip the second
"Several red X's are marked on several photos."
And finally flip the third.
"Karen was flying through the air, and then she falls into darkness."
Isaac puts down the cards and the blizzard stops, leaving Karen to process the information.
"Wait! Is that all?" she yelled, unable to believe the last part.
"No. There is a lot more, but that's all you need to know."
"We made a deal. You said you would show me my future."
"Yes, I know. The deal was that I would show you your future IN THE GAME."
Karen couldn't believe it. Is she going to lose this game? Just like that?
Isaac guessed what she was thinking. "However, the future is not set in stone," he explained, as he collected his cards and left.
"Aren't you going to say something else? Are you going to leave me like this?"
"Sorry, my dear. No spoilers."
It was dawn on Pahkitew Island. Some were still resting comfortably in their bunk beds, while a few had already gotten up and prepared for the day, since they were already used to getting up early. It was all peace and quiet, but there was one person who was happily willing to screw it all up.
"THIS IS THE 7:00 AM CALL!" Chris's voice was heard loudly throughout the camp, snapping the sleeping campers awake. Some groaned in response, annoyed at waking them up like that.
"It's time to start the fun. Everyone go to the dining room to get your breakfast and wait there for me."
Once in the dining room, all the teams settled on two tables. They all had a bowl of oatmeal that was stickier than glue.
"You'd think Chris could have improved the quality of the food," said Felix, trying to get his spoon stuck out of the oatmeal.
"We're talking about Chris McLean. He doesn't care about anything other than himself" replied Raymond. "It's a miracle that they actually gave us something to eat, considering that the previous season they had neither cabins nor a dining room.
At the other table, Rita noticed that Erika was again without a bowl.
"Hey Erika. Why aren't you eating anything? I know this food is disgusting, but you must eat something at some point."
"Thanks for your concern, Rita. I'm not hungry. I've had enough dinner yesterday" Erika explained.
However, that explanation did not convince Rita.
Confessional
Rita - "I don't believe that poor attempt at an excuse. Yesterday, Erika didn't show up for dinner, and right after leaving, Chef locked the dining room. Erika also keeps secrets, like Clover. As the saying goes: Curiosity killed the cat."
Before continuing with another conversation, Chris enters the dining room.
"Good morning, campers!" greeted the host. "It's time to start today's challenge."
"Right now? We just had breakfast" Felix complained.
"A good way to start the day, huh?" Chris replied. "Anyway. In today's challenge we'll play the fun game of… paintball!" Chris pulls out a paintball gun and a hunting hat.
"What a lack of creativity, Chris," Nigel scoffed. "You've done very similar challenges before, like a deer hunt, or when you used leeches."
"Yeah… good times" Chris said, looking at the ceiling wistfully. "However, here too it will have its differences" he clarified. "Let's go outside, where you will receive more details."
Upon leaving, they found a large closet. Upon opening it, they found it laden with paintball guns and goggles.
"Everyone will have the same advantage for each team," explained Chris. "After you collect your weapons, you will have 10 minutes to think of a strategy. When time is up, the rules are worth nothing!"
"I'm looking forward to it," Raymond commented. "I already want to bathe these losers in paint."
"Paint? I never said we would use paint" Chris said with a smile.
Some are confused, until Yoshi checks the ammunition that the weapons had.
"Are these… !?" he asked, surprised.
"Tranquilizer darts" finished Chris, to the surprise of many. "With the strength to knock down an elephant."
"Isn't that very dangerous?" Pearl asked.
"Of course, it's dangerous, that's why I'll force you to use it" he replied with a laugh. "Don't worry, you will wear protective glasses, because I don't want to have to deal with censorship."
"How do we win this game?" Nigel asked.
"You have to shoot the opponents and put them to sleep. The first team to lose all its members will have to send someone home."
Chef collects the weapons and throws them at all members of the Rabid Rabbits.
"Hey! What about us?" Agatha growled.
"Since you guys lost the previous challenge, you will receive a slight disadvantage."
Chef opens a drawer and takes out some blowguns, and passes them to the members of the Raptor Falcons.
"Oh yeah!" Hunter and Diego celebrated.
Confessional
Diego - "They think they have the advantage with their toy weapons, but I am a master with the blowgun. After all, I always use it to hunt my prey."
Hunter - "It's time to show those losers why I'm the most feared hunter in the world."
"Okay, you have 10 minutes to hide and come up with a strategy," Chris explained.
All the campers gathered in their groups and went in different directions.
The Raptor Falcons scrambled toward a lake. Everyone was already trying to think of a strategy, although two of the team were already arguing because they did not agree.
"So… does anyone have a plan?" Erika asked.
"I'll go my own way" Diego said, jumping over the branches towards the top of the trees.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Pearl asked.
"I will continue on my own. It is better that I go alone. I trusted you to win. Good luck!" Diego said goodbye before walking away through the trees.
Confessional
Diego - "Don't get me wrong. I know how to play as a team, but hunting is something I have to do on my own. Besides, my team will be fine on its own."
Clover just rolls his eyes. "Everyone goes on their own. If you want, go in a group."
"Understood" Rita said. "Come with me, Erika."
Erika nods happily and follows her.
Julien gestures for Otis and Pearl to join him. They just shrug and follow him without saying anything.
The others decided to go on their own.
The Rabid Rabbits ran into a more open area with no trees. They didn't have to think much when Chantal seemed to immediately take the lead.
"Listen, comrades. This is the plan" began the pirate. "We will separate into groups of two. That way we will cover ground and you have someone to watch your back."
They all nodded without arguing anything.
"Ginger and Lucas. Felix and Nigel. Maggie and Sonya. Yoshi and Raymond. Karen and I. Any questions?"
"Where is Hunter?" Ginger asked.
They all saw that Hunter was absent.
Chantal frowns. "It doesn't matter. He is an expert hunter. He will surely be fine. Let's go."
All groups are going in different directions.
Confessional
Chantal - "If Hunter doesn't want to cooperate, that's fine. He only risks being voted out."
Hunter - "I don't need those losers. I'll win this challenge on my own."
Chris and Chef were sitting on loungers in front of the dining room, with a television in front of them, ready to enjoy the action. Chris looks at his watch, seeing that the 10 minutes have just passed.
"The challenge begins… now!" announcement over the speakers.
Karen and Chantal were walking through a wooded area, their weapons raised, looking for a target.
"So… how are you doing with being the leader? It must be difficult to deal with a whole group of teenagers" Karen spoke.
"Not really. I'm the captain of an entire crew. I know how to handle a group of sailors" Chantal replied.
"Yes. I can see that you have everything under control, including Hunter."
"That buccaneer can do whatever he wants. After all, his aloof attitude is going to cost him dearly eventually."
Karen gets thoughtful. "Do you think Hunter is moving away from the group to plot some sabotage?"
"Are you telling me that Hunter can be the mole?"
"I'm not sure, but it's a possibility. Just stop to think about it for a moment. He remains distant from the group, and seems to want to conflict with you."
Chantal remembers her argument with him yesterday. "I must admit that you are giving good points, but I do not jump to conclusions. Besides, yesterday I already told everyone not to think about the matter of the alleged mole."
"Yes, it's true" Karen shakes her head. "Sorry. I'm just worried about it."
"You need not fear, comrade. That mole will not try any tricks with me in charge. If that mole performs any tricks, I will know."
Confessional
Karen - "Are you sure about that, Captain?"
As they kept moving forward, suddenly Chantal stops, and also stops Karen with one hand.
"Someone is near" she warned.
After a few seconds, they are attacked by a shower of small explosives, which explode around them, forcing them to run for their safety, until a dart goes flying and hits Chantal, knocking her to the ground.
Karen decides to leave her behind and keep running.
Hiding behind the trees, Julien, Pearl, and Otis celebrate their first shot.
Confessional
Julien - "Chris never mentioned that we could use other ammunition besides darts, and I have a lot of explosives that I want to use."
"That was a great shot, girl" Julien congratulated Pearl. "I don't even know how to use this thing" he said, holding up his blowgun.
"You just have to take a breath and blow" explained Pearl.
Julien does what she told him and puts the blowgun in his mouth.
"No wait!" Pearl tried to warn him, but it was too late.
Julien inhaled air from the blowpipe, but the dart inside him went straight into Julien's mouth, knocking him out instantly.
"To be honest, I thought something like this could happen to him" Otis commented.
They decide to continue walking through the forest, attentive to their surroundings. After a while of walking, Pearl stops and looks at a huge group of bushes. A perfect hideaway.
"Hey Otis! I think I found a good place to hide." There was no response from Otis.
"Otis?" called again. After a few seconds with no response, Pearl goes to see her teammate, only to find him lying on the ground, with a dart in his back.
Pearl quickly pulls the blowgun out of her, and searches for an attacker in her surroundings, only to receive a dart in the left arm and fall unconscious.
Felix and Nigel climb down from the trees where they were hiding.
"That was easier than I expected" said Felix.
"Don't trust yourself. This is still far from over," Nigel warned.
"Why are you worrying? We've downed two, now we have the…" he trailed off when he hears a small alarm. "What's that noise?".
Nigel manages to get an idea of what is going to happen and ducks down, not bothering to warn his teammate.
Felix was not so lucky and was hit by several darts that flew out of the trees.
"Before I forget, I must warn you that the whole island is full of traps, ready to take you down!" Chris called over the speakers.
Nigel saves himself from these darts and watches his teammate down. He just rolls his eyes and walks away.
Elsewhere, Clover was pacing the place, gun raised, looking for someone from the other team.
She then stopped when her "sixth sense" kicked in.
"Now Lucas!" Ginger yelled.
Ginger and Lucas emerge from some bushes, strategically standing on either side of Clover, completely surrounding her.
Clover was standing right in the middle, averting her eyes between the two boys, as she thought of some way to escape the situation.
The two point their guns and shoot. Darts fly straight to the target.
Clover smiles, and takes a huge leap into the air, doing a mid-air split.
The darts fly just below her, and they end up hitting the two campers on their foreheads. They both fall to the ground, totally unconscious.
Confessional
Clover - "I have trained a kind of 'sixth sense', which warns me of any imminent danger. It is very effective for challenges like this."
"Nice try guys, but I'm not easy to take down" said Clover.
She decides to leave, but then feels something stinging on her back. She quickly removes the dart, but it was too late, for then she falls unconscious to the ground.
Raymond and Yoshi climb out of the trees.
"I told you that plan would work," Raymond said.
Confessional
Yoshi - "I don't approve of using dirty tricks like attacking from behind, but I know this is a survival game. Even if I don't like it, I must do whatever it takes to win here."
In another area, Maggie and Sonya had their weapons raised.
"How do you think the challenge is going so far?" Maggie asked.
"I'm not sure. I just hope we're not the last against the other team."
"Why do you care? We have an extra player and better weapons."
"I know, but the other team is not as weak as it seems."
"What are you talking about?".
"I know we have members like Hunter or Yoshi, but the other team has members like Diego, Rita, or Isaac."
"We don't have to worry. I'm sure Hunter can handle all of them."
As they both continued talking, neither noticed someone hiding in the bushes.
Out of the bushes, Agatha comes out, and shoots Maggie, knocking her to the ground.
Agatha reloads her blowgun and shoots, but Sonya splits on the ground, dodging the dart.
Agatha quickly reloads her gun and shoots again, but Sonya gets up and does a pirouette, dodging again.
She repeats the same process several times, but Sonya manages to dodge all the shots with various dance moves.
In the end, Agatha runs out of darts, while Sonya retrieves her gun and shoots a dart at her, knocking the Russian girl down.
Sonya recovers from the attack and proceeds to leave, but ends up falling to the ground, with a dart in her arm.
Diego raises a fist in the air, celebrating his shot.
Rita and Erika were touring another area of the forest, but, unlike the rest, they weren't very attentive to looking for campers.
Rita was walking behind Erika, watching her carefully, thinking.
"Hey Erika. Don't you plan on explaining why you don't eat with us?"
"I've already explained it to you. I already had enough dinner yesterday. I'm not hungry."
"I didn't see you have dinner with the team last night. Where were you?"
"I was in the bathroom. I went to dinner later on my own."
"If I remember correctly, Chef had closed the dining room when we all left, just after dinner."
"I… went to the Chef later and asked him to give me the leftovers."
"The Chef went by the tree lift to the underground bases of the island. It is impossible that you could go there too, unless you had the password. All this is making me very curious. If I did not know better, I would say that you slipped away to think of things ... ".
"What kind of things?".
"I don't know. Maybe some… sabotage."
"Rita, are you trying to accuse me of being a liar?"
"Actually, yes. All of this leads me to think that you could be… the mole."
"I'm not the mole" Erika declared.
"That's what any lying mole would say."
Confessional
Rita - "I know very well that Erika is not the mole. Someone who does not know how to lie well cannot be a cheater of the mole level. However, if I accuse Erika of being the mole, she could end up spilling some real information".
"I, uhm… Hey look. I found something!" Erika spoke, pointing in one direction.
Rita frowns at that attempt to escape the discussion. She sees where Erika is pointing and is not surprised at all.
There was only Tony, lying on the ground, with a dart in his arm.
"It's just Tony. It's not important" Rita said.
"I'm not talking about that" Erika clarified, pointing again. "I'm talking about Tony's hands."
Rita was confused now. She walks up to Tony's body and checks his hands, making her gasp in disbelief.
Tony's hands had long, sharp claws like nails.
"Are these… claws?" Rita wondered.
"According to my data, those claws are from...".
Erika couldn't finish her sentence when a dart hit her in the neck. However, Erika only removes the dart, unaffected by the shot.
"How is it possible that you are still standing?" Rita asked, not believing that Erika is still standing even after receiving a tranquilizer dart.
"I… have enormous resistance to those objects."
"That was an elephant dart. You can't stand that without…" Rita trailed off when she saw something on Erika's neck, something too strange.
Erika's neck was fuming, like… a machine.
Erika notices this and quickly covers that part with her hand, hoping Rita hasn't noticed.
Before Erika can say anything, she is silenced by Rita.
"You and I will have a long conversation."
Rita then turns to see Tony's lying body. She takes out her syringe again.
"For now, I need to know more about this deformity that Tony has. For that, I'm going to…".
Rita falls to the ground, when a dart hits her from behind.
Erika looks around, looking for an attacker, but another dart hits her in the head. This time, she does fall to the ground, unconscious
Hidden among the trees, the remaining members of the Rabid Rabbits (except Hunter) were watching the argument between Rita and Erika, and took the opportunity.
When they are finally knocked down, the four of them climb down from their hiding place.
"Nice shot, Karen," Raymond congratulated. "I don't understand how Erika could take my shot like nothing."
"You possibly missed your shot. Luckily, I have better aim" said Karen.
"Well, there are only Diego and Isaac left," Nigel said.
"This will be easy," Raymond said.
"We must not underestimate them" Yoshi said. "Diego is an expert in survival and it shows that he knows how to handle a blowgun very well, and Isaac is very elusive. Not for nothing is they both still standing."
Raymond scoffs at that. "Yeah sure. They're just still standing because they were hiding the whole time. Plus, Hunter is still around too. He can take them both down."
"But that doesn't mean we will just stand here and wait" Yoshi said. "We must also go find them and try to shoot them down."
"You sound very worried, Yoshi" Nigel scoffed. "We are five against two. How could they…?"
Nigel receives a dart and falls to the ground, unconscious.
The remaining three get together and prepare their weapons, but out of nowhere, at full speed, Diego appears, and shoots Raymond, knocking him out instantly. Diego disappears as fast as he arrived.
"Stay down!" Yoshi ordered Karen. She obeys and hides in the bushes.
Yoshi picks up a thick branch to use as a weapon. He was standing, in deep silence, waiting for any assault.
Out of nowhere, several darts start flying straight towards Yoshi, but the warrior turns the branch and blocks all shots.
From another direction, more darts flew out, but the warrior manages to react in time and also blocks them and deflects them to hit the ground.
Now, from all directions, hundreds of darts flew straight at Yoshi, who uses various movements to dodge and block the shots.
"I warned you that I would not fall for your tricks again!"
However, while he was too focused on blocking shots, he never noticed that a shadow was thrown at him, knocking him to the ground, while the shadow comes out, standing on him.
It was Diego, and he was standing over Yoshi, his blowgun pointed at his head.
Instead of grunting or groaning, Yoshi just smiles. "You are good".
"You too, my friend" Diego said, still with the blowgun pointed at Yoshi's head. "Yes, you have impressed me, but only one can…".
Diego stops, with a blank stare, before falling to the ground, with a dart to the back of his head.
Hunter appears from the trees.
"About time. That animal had me fed up," Hunter growled. "But not as much as the elusive clown."
"Do you know where Isaac is?" Yoshi asked, getting up off the ground.
"No, and that's what bothers me. I haven't seen him in everything we've been wearing from the challenge."
"We should go find him. This game won't end until we defeat him."
"How do you plan to find it?" Hunter asked.
"I come to you."
Out of nowhere, a cloud of black smoke comes out of the trees, and from there, Isaac emerges, announcing his arrival. Isaac's eyes were once again radiating a dark aura.
Hunter and Yoshi shoot at the same time. The darts flew towards Isaac.
Isaac raises a hand, which begins to radiate a dark aura just like his eyes, and the darts stop in midair.
Isaac clenches his hand into a fist, and the darts are instantly crushed.
Hunter and Yoshi were surprised, and they fired again.
The darts were about to hit Isaac, but when touched, Isaac disappeared in a cloud of smoke. The smoke moves closer to them, and Isaac reappears closer to them.
Fed up with the situation, Hunter runs straight to Isaac and jumps to attack him with his weapon.
A short distance from him, Isaac catches the weapon with one hand, and lifts it up into the air, including Hunter.
Isaac brings Hunter closer to his face, having him right in front of his smiling face, when the dark aura of his eyes disappears, showing his totally dark eyes with green pupils.
Isaac raises his other hand, and puts a finger to his lips.
"SHHH"
Hunter's gun is instantly destroyed and turns to dust, while Hunter falls to the ground, with a nervous expression.
Confessional
Hunter - "Ok. How the hell does he do all that?"
Yoshi - "Isaac seems to have powerful magic. It is impressive and worrying how well he handles it."
Yoshi and Hunter were standing there, thinking of some solution, while Isaac was just standing there, with his smile, doing nothing.
"Doesn't he plan to attack or something?" Hunter growled, annoyed that Isaac isn't doing anything against them.
While everyone was quiet, something unexpected happens. Isaac's shadow begins to move on its own, and stretches out his arms, connecting with Hunter and Yoshi's shadows. The shadow pulls these, knocking the two boys down, before being dragged towards Isaac.
When they were both in front of him, Isaac placed his hands on the boys' foreheads.
"SLEEP"
Unexpectedly, Yoshi and Hunter feel that all the air is being extracted from their lungs, and then they fall to the ground, totally unconscious.
Karen, who had been in hiding the entire time, was able to witness with surprise, disbelief, and fear as Isaac took down the two strongest members of her team without any difficulty.
Confessional
Karen - "Wow. I knew that Isaac had magic, but this is too much."
"I'm here to collect my payment."
Karen jumps in surprise when she hears Isaac speak behind her. Isaac was standing there, not leaving his creepy smile.
"What are you talking about?".
"I want you to fulfill that favor that you owe me."
"Can't wait until after the challenge?"
"No. Fulfill the favor now."
"And if I do not want?".
Isaac's eyes returned to their black color and green pupils with the dark aura, while Karen's shadow changes shape to simulate Isaac's silhouette, while Karen's eyes change their color to resemble Isaac's. She shakes and forcefully bows to Isaac.
"Then I'll have to force you to do it."
"Ok, ok! I will!"
Isaac releases his hold on Karen, who barely manages to get up and wobbles a bit before regaining her balance.
"H-How did you do that?"
"When we made the deal, you gave me access to your shadow. You have to pay your debts with something. Until you fulfill that favor, your shadow will be my property, and I will be your owner."
Karen grunts, and then takes a deep breath.
"What do you want me to do?".
"Go to your control room in the underground facilities of the island. There is an object that I have been looking for a long time."
Karen sighs. "How is that object that I should look for?"
Isaac hands her a photo of the object. She watches it and then saves it.
Before she can get away, she is stopped by Isaac.
"And don't even bother trying to fool me, because I'll know, and you'll suffer great consequences."
After a few minutes of waiting, Isaac senses that Karen was already back.
"Here you go" Karen said angrily.
Isaac takes the object and looks at it carefully.
It was a kind of amulet in the shape of a mask, with several lines, some symbols, black eyes and a horizontal zigzag line that acts as a mouth.
"My precious mystical amulet. After a long time of searching, I have finally recovered it" said Isaac, admiring the amulet.
"And now that?" Karen asked.
Isaac looks at her and snaps his fingers.
"It was a pleasure doing business with you. You have paid your debt, so you are officially released from my control."
"I'll never make a deal with you again" assured Karen. "Now we continue with the challenge?"
Isaac picks up one of the guns and extracts a dart from it. He lies down on the ground, and nails himself in the chest.
Karen didn't understand what she just saw. "What has happened?".
"What happened is that you won, Karen!" Chris announced over the speakers. "By an unexpected turn of events, the Rabid Rabbits win again!"
Night had fallen on the island, and the Raptor Falcons had shown up for the elimination ceremony for the second time.
"Welcome back Falcons. I must admit that you guys had a rather curious process in today's challenge. You could have won if it weren't for the decisions some of your team made."
Some of them had embarrassed expressions.
"You already know the exercise. Go to the confessional to leave your votes."
Confessional
Agatha - "I heard what happened at the end of the challenge. What the hell was he thinking to miss such an opportunity?"
Rita - "I must admit that I didn't expect so many surprises on this day."
Otis - "That mistake by Julien at the beginning is already enough excuse to vote him out."
Erika - "Rita is getting suspicious. She has to go now."
"Everyone has left their votes. One by one I will call their your and throw the marshmallow that ensures one more day of survival in this game, and brings you one step closer to a million dollars."
Everyone was attentive, waiting to be called.
"The following people are safe…".
...
...
"Clover"
...
...
"Diego"
...
...
"Erika"
...
...
"Pearl"
...
...
"Otis"
...
...
"Agatha"
...
...
"Tony"
...
…
"and Rita"
They were all getting their marshmallows.
Now there were only two campers left without a marshmallow: Julien and Isaac.
"Julien, you were the first on your team to fall, and it was because you didn't know how to use a blowgun. Isaac, you could have won for your team, but you made the decision to quit at the last minute."
Julien was worried. Isaac was just smiling, unfazed by anything.
"The last marshmallow goes to ..."

"Julien"
Julien breathes a sigh of relief.
"Isaac, you have been eliminated from Total Drama: Enchanted. It's time for you to leave the contest… forever."
Isaac does not show any feeling of regret. He gets up and looks at his teammates.
"Well this was fun. You know something? I'm impressed by all of you. You are smarter and more interesting than you look, especially the caveman."
"I think he's talking about you?" Diego said to Otis, but he just rolls his eyes, not caring.
"So, I'll let you go for now. You could be of use to me later."
Isaac takes off his hat and bows in farewell.
"Until then, I'll be watching you."
Isaac begins to float in the air and crosses his legs in a meditative pose. His body begins to be covered by black smoke.
"I'll be watching you."
The smoke covers Isaac completely and he vanishes. Isaac had disappeared.
The other contestants did not know what to think about that final statement from Isaac.
"Should we be concerned?" Pearl asked.
"Knet. He sure said it just to scare us. He loves to do that" said Agatha.
"Ok, campers. It's time to rest. Tomorrow will be another day of pain for you" Chris said goodbye.
Everyone leaves the place, while Chris returns to look at the screen. "This was certainly a chapter full of surprises. What has Rita discovered? Will she be able to find out at the end? Or will it remain a complete mystery? And will we use the Sling of Shame again? I hope yes. Tune in and find out here, next time, at...".
"Total! Drama! Enchanted!"
CONTESTANTS
Raptor Falcons: Agatha, Diego, Clover, Julien, Erika, Otis, Pearl, Tony, Rita.
Rabid Rabbits: Felix, Chantal, Hunter, Ginger, Raymond, Karen, Lucas, Maggie, Nigel, Sonya, Yoshi.
Eliminated: Bianca (Raptor Falcons), Isaac (Raptor Falcons)
Yeah, Isaac is a being full of unanswered mysteries.
This chapter was quite full of surprises, but let's talk about the most important first.
Isaac has done a lot in this chapter: Read Karen's future in the game and make a deal with her (which was a serious mistake for her), took down Hunter and Yoshi without problems, finally got what he was looking for, and decided throw away the challenge when he could easily have won.
Why have I eliminated Isaac so soon? Well, I already planned to get rid of him once he got his amulet back.
At first, seeing that Isaac was becoming a favorite in the reviews, I tried to keep him a little longer, but I had nothing else planned for him, so it was his turn to leave. Don't worry, we'll see that creepy clown again soon. All his actions this season were just a prologue of what is to come from him. Remember, he will be watching you, all of you.
If you want to get an idea of what Isaac and his magic is like, just think of Dr. Facilier from the movie The Princess and the Frog.
Speaking of the others, Karen has received some clues of what awaits her in the future. That future vision has already warned us all what awaits Karen in the future of this game. However, Isaac took the liberty of giving us a hint of Karen's motivations for being the mole and competing.
Who is him? We will have to wait to find out.
Another important thing that happened was with Rita and her two new friends: Erika and Tony. I have already warned you that Isaac is not the only one with secrets. What are they all hiding? Only time will tell.
For this challenge, I was inspired by the "Dreamland" challenge from Guest 1138's story "Total Drama Danger Zones". Cheers to Guest 1138 for giving me the idea.
Well, I think I already leave it here, or it will be too long. See you in the next chapter. Bye.
