Author's Notes
Hello, fellow readers. Fantasy Lord 77 is back with the next chapter.
Yes, this chapter took longer to arrive because I was busy with some business in my home. The following chapters will probably take the same time to arrive, but if I keep this pace, I will probably be able to finish this story by the end of this year.
The lyrics of the song Golden Slumbers, sung by Sonya in this chapter, are not mine. That song belongs to The Beatles. I only use it here because I thought it would fit Sonya.
Well, it's time to respond to the reviews of the previous chapter.
Guest 1138: Just like Nigel said in the first chapter. Only half of them can be described as "normal". In fact, it's hard to find anything "normal" in Total Drama since Revenge of the Island.
Gucci Mane LaFlare: I am very flattered by your comment. Thank you very much. I try to give history to all the characters in this story. As strange as the characters may seem, they are still people, with their own lives to tell.
Well, that would be it for here. Enjoy the chapter!
Total Drama: Enchanted
Chapter 5 - The Bat in the Hat
It was dawn on Pahkitew Island. The sun was beginning to peek over the horizon, and despite taking a long nap in yesterday's challenge, everyone was exhausted and peacefully resting in their cabins.
Meanwhile, in the control room in the underground facility of the island, Karen was, drinking a cup of coffee. She was checking the blackboard, with all the photos of the contestants. She removes the photo of Isaac, and crosses it with a red X.
"It's a relief Isaac is gone. I wasn't planning on getting rid of him so soon, but with what happened yesterday, it's so much better that he's out of the competition."
Karen keeps Isaac's photo in her folder, along with Bianca's.
"At least now I won't have to worry about dealing with strange voodoo magic, but I still have a lot of strangers on the list."
Karen turns to a screen to peer through hidden cameras across the island. She sees a camera showing the camp and the cabins.
From one of the cabins, Erika comes out, heading towards the bathroom, but when she opens the door to enter, someone grabs her arm and forces her inside.
The bathroom was dark, until the mysterious person turned on the light, revealing to be Rita.
"It's time to confess, Erika" spoke the scientist.
"Confess what?" Erika asked, with a confused expression.
"What happened in yesterday's challenge."
"Are you talking about Tony? I haven't found an explanation for that yet."
"I'm not talking about that. I'll deal with Tony later. I mean what happened to your neck."
"Nothing's wrong with me. I'm perfectly fine."
Rita sighs, not wanting to use a desperate move.
"Ok, Erika. I'm going to ask you a funny question, and I want you to be honest with your answer. Okay?"
"Okay".
"And don't try to lie, because if you lie to me, I will make everyone believe that you are the mole."
Erika didn't understand where she wanted to go. "Okaaaaay."
Rita sighs again, and opens her mouth to ask:
"Are you ... a robot?"
Erika felt her color getting on her nerves, and she opened her mouth to say something, but ...
"Remember. If you lie to me, everyone will think you are the mole" Rita threatened.
Erika just sighs. Rita isn't going to leave her alone until she confesses.
"No, I am not a robot as you say."
Rita was about to speak, but is instantly silenced.
"But I'm not a real human either."
Erika stands her ground, and proceeds to explain the situation.
"My real name is 3R1K4, and I am what is known as an android. I was created and designed to know, imitate and learn about human behavior."
Erika is silent, letting Rita process the information received.
"Well. That actually explains a lot about you," Rita said, after a while. "But what is an android doing on a television show?"
"I was sent here by my parental units to learn about human customs in a closed and isolated environment, like an island."
"Interesting. I must admit that I am fascinated by all this" Rita commented.
"Please Rita. Don't tell anyone about this. If the others here found out, I don't know what they would do to me for being an android."
"Don't worry, Erika. Your secret is safe with me" Rita stated.
"Thank you very much Rita. I am happy that someone finally knows the truth here" Erika smiled.
"Me too" Rita smiled too. "If you don't mind, I'd like to find out more about your inner workings. I want to learn more about your technology."
"I can explain later, but I think it's better to start later" Erika explained.
"It's fine by me" Rita said.
The discussion between the two ended, and Rita leaves the bathroom and heads to the dining room, a cruel smile forming on her lips.
Confessional
Rita - "I found my new toy."
Back in the control room, Karen watched the entire discussion between Rita and Erika, and is smiling mischievously.
"So the nerd has finally figured out the truth about Robotgirl. That means it's time to get rid of both of them before this becomes a complication."
In the dining room, all the campers were already getting their breakfast, which consisted of rotten eggs, burnt bacon, and stale bread.
Rita and Erika had arrived earlier and saw the others enter the place, but Rita's attention was focused on Tony, who went to sit at the table, near the girls.
Rita peeks out and peers at Tony's hands, but there was nothing. They were just totally normal hands. She returns to her starting position.
"This doesn't make sense" Rita commented. "I saw claws yesterday, but now he has normal hands."
"Well… some animals can retract their claws when they are not using them" Erika explained.
"So that means he's hiding them" Rita said, before smiling. "But not for much longer".
"How do you think Tony got that strange quality? I know that there are humans who are born with deformities, but none are as strange as that" -
"I'm going to find out eventually, even if I have to draw his blood to do a deep investigation," Rita stated.
"Didn't you already draw his blood with your syringe yesterday?" Erika asked.
"I couldn't do it in time. Just when I was going to do it, some idiot shot me down with a dart" Rita explained. "When I woke up, he was already gone."
"What are you talking about?" a curious Clover asked, sitting across from them.
"We were talking about…" Erika couldn't continue speaking when Rita covers her mouth.
"Sorry dear" Rita smiled. "It is confidential".
Confessional
Clover - "I didn't think Rita was that spiteful, and normally I would let it go, but she scoffed at being confidential, so it must be something of great importance. I guess I'll have to do what I do best to get information: spy".
While everyone was "enjoying" breakfast, Chris had entered the place.
"Good morning campers. Who is in the mood to be humiliated today?"
Nobody said anything. There was so much silence that the song of a cricket could be heard.
"Everyone? Great! I'm glad to see that good humor, because you're going to need all that cheer for today's challenge."
"Let's get this over with, host. How do you plan to torture us today?" Agatha asked.
"Torturing you? I didn't say anything about torturing you" Chris said innocently.
Many celebrated, happy that there will be no painful challenge.
"I said I'm going to humiliate you" Chris continued.
Everyone who had celebrated groaned in frustration.
"And torture you too, of course" finished Chris, while Chef smiles from the kitchen window.
"Yay. Two for the price of one" Otis said sarcastically.
"I know. Right?" Chris smiled. "Follow me all, for today's challenge."
All the campers had followed Chris to some kind of stage, similar to the one they used in previous seasons.
"Welcome to the McLean Theater. Today's challenge will be something special. Let's rehearse a play!"
"A play?" Maggie asked.
"That's right! Each team is going to have to perform whatever performance you convince you on stage. You have all day to write and distribute the scripts, rehearse their performances, and at dusk they will present their play. Costumes, backgrounds, and other things you need to wear are behind the scenes."
All the campers nodded and went to some rooms behind the stage to prepare for their performance.
In the Rabbit room, everyone was going through the gadgets they had available for the play.
"Attention, comrades. We need to think of a plot for our play," declared Chantal.
Ginger raises her hand.
"Ginger, if you have something to say, just say it. You don't have to raise your hand," Chantal clarified.
"I have an idea for a script."
"What is that script about?" Maggie asked.
"The life of two young adults who do not want to marry, while their children have adventures to be able to be together. In one of those pranks, they will have to catch a rat" explained Ginger. "I call it The Rat in the Hat."
"Are you going to narrate about your life before coming here?" Hunter scoffed.
"I like that play. Let's do it" said Lucas.
"However, for a scene we are going to need a rat" said Ginger.
"Lucas, go find a rat," Felix ordered.
"Got it" Lucas said, leaving the place to look for a rat.
"I was thinking of recreating a classic work," Sonya said. "The theater has always been one of my favorite places. It is a place full of wonders and magic."
"Well… which one does the team prefer?" Chantal asked.
Most had decided on Sonya's idea, preferring to work with an expert in theater and music.
"I'm sorry Ginger, but we'll use Sonya's idea" said Chantal.
"Oh… okay," Ginger wailed.
Confessional
Sonya - "I feel bad about stealing the star from Ginger, but I'm sure she's going to get over it. It's just that theater was always something I'm good at."
In the Falcons' room, they already had an idea for a script.
"How do you like this script? A group of teenagers in a school. A simple idea that can go a long way," Pearl explained.
"Well, I don't hear another idea. Let's do that" said Otis.
"I already have an idea for the characters" said Rita. "I'll be the teacher, obviously. Otis will be the grumpy student, Pearl will be the quiet one who sits in the back, Diego will be the crazy guy who has no idea what's going on, Agatha will be the typical bully, Tony will be the weird guy and the victim of bullying, and Julien will be the dumb student who knows nothing. "
"Hey!" Tony moaned for giving him that role.
"What about me and Clover?" Erika asked.
"Chris didn't say anything about everyone having to act, so we're not adding actors who don't add anything to the story," Rita explained. "You will be a stagehand, and Clover will be a bodyguard in case of any flaw on stage."
"I like this play" Julien said.
"However, for a scene, we are going to need a toad" Rita explained. "Tony, go find a toad."
Tony nods and leaves the place to look for a toad.
While everyone went to rehearse their roles, Rita pushes Erika away for a private conversation.
"You go watch Tony. See if he shows any interesting deformity again."
Erika nods and secretly follows Tony. However, their conversation was overheard by Clover, who decides to follow Erika.
Confessional
Clover - "Why are they so focused on Tony? Is he hiding something? If someone like Rita is focused a lot on something, then it means something is going on, something big."
The scene changes to a large lake, where Lucas and Tony arrive, looking for their respective animals for their works.
"What are you doing here, Lucas?" Tony asked.
"I'm looking for a rat for our play," Lucas said.
"I don't know much about rats, but I don't think there are rats in a lake. You should look in the Chef's kitchen. He sure has a whole nest of rats there," Tony explained, feeling a chill at the thought.
"Good idea. Thanks, buddy."
Confessional
Tony - "Wow, nobody ever called me 'buddy'... I have to admit I like that."
When Lucas left, Tony took a careful look at his surroundings, before diving into the water to look for a toad.
Without him noticing, hidden behind some trees was Erika, who was watching Tony, on Rita's orders.
And, unnoticed, Clover was spying on them through the leaves on top of a tree.
"Why did Rita send Erika to watch Tony?" she wondered. "Do they suspect that Tony could be the mole?"
They both wait in their respective hiding places, until about two hours have passed, when Tony finally comes out of the water, with a toad in his hands.
"Wow, amphibians are very slippery. You wasted my time down there."
As he returned to the stage, the two girls were shocked by the fact that Tony spent two hours underwater without ever coming out to breathe.
"Well that's very strange" said Clover. "No one can hold their breath that long, unless they have some scuba gear."
Erika, on the other hand, had activated cameras in her eyes, to get a closer look at Tony, and took a photo of another deformity different from what was seen yesterday.
"Rita has to know about this."
Back on stage, Lucas had returned with his animal.
"I'm back, guys" said Lucas, with something in his hands...
"Is that a bat?!" Felix said, annoyed. "Lucas! Did you bring a bat?!"
"Sure... that's what you asked me to hunt, right?"
"No! I told you to hunt a RAT, not a BAT! How is it possible that you are confused?"
"Calm down, comrade. Yes, Lucas was wrong, but it's nothing serious" Chantal clarified. "We're not going to use Ginger's script, so you can keep the bat in a cage until we're done."
Confessional
Felix - "I'm surrounded by idiots..."
In the other room, Tony had returned with his toad.
"Here's your toad" Tony said, handing the toad to Rita. "What are you going to do to him?"
"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to dissect it to make sure it doesn't slip away" Rita said. "The others, go get ready now. We should be ready for our presentation."
As everyone went to their places, Erika approached Rita.
"Did you find anything interesting?" Rita asked.
Erika takes her to a dark place away from the rest, to later activate a holographic screen of her eyes, projecting the photo she had taken of Tony, showing another strange mutation.
"Gills?" Rita was surprised. "First claws, and now gills. What kind of creature is he?"
"I'm not sure, but I have a hard time believing that he could even be human" Erika said. "Maybe he's some mutant, like Fang, or like the Dakotazoid girl from season four."
"I don't make much sense to it. I know this show has weird things like mutants, machines, and a host who breaks the laws of physics, but this is beyond the bounds of logic."
While the two were discussing theories, Clover had sneaked out to spy on them secretly, and saw all the discussion and Erika's holographic projection onto Tony.
Like the girls, Clover was surprised, but in another way. She had made a great discovery. She finally understood why they had sent her to this show.
"I found it".
It was already getting dark, and the stage lights were already coming on. Chris and Chef were already at a jury table, which had three seats.
"It's time, campers! You have 10 minutes left to prepare your works! The first team to present will be the Rabid Rabbits!"
The two teams met on stage, where Chris was waiting to explain what to do next.
"This is how things will work. You will have 10 minutes to represent your works and, at the end, the three judges will choose which is the winning work of the challenge."
"Wait, three judges?" Karen asked.
"Of course. Me, Chef Hatchet, and a special guest."
"What kind of special guest?" Nigel asked. "Could I get the phone number of her?" he said in a flirtatious way.
From the other team, Pearl frowns, something Nigel noticed.
Confessional
Nigel - "I can already see that Pearl really has a crush on me. My plan is going quite well."
"Well, if you are fans and you know this series well, you will already know the special guest."
From the back, a female silhouette approached the table. She steps out of the shadows, revealing her long black hair, her burgundy crop top, short hazel shorts, a black belt, and black shoes with a burgundy ribbon.
"Everyone, welcome to the franchise's quintessential villain: Heather!"
Heather sits in the jury chair, arms folded, not saying anything.
"Wow, it's amazing meeting a veteran of the franchise," Ginger said.
"You flatter me, but I don't talk to losers," Heather said.
"Says someone who already lost… four times" scoffed Raymond.
"How dare you?! I won the third season!" Heather said angrily.
"And you lost the million in the end."
"That filthy beast Ezekiel was just jealous that I'm better than him in every way" Heather said. "On second thought, I'm better than all of you. I really don't understand how Chris accepts freaks like the caveman, the creepy clown, the kamikaze, the pirate, a nerd for the third time in a row, the cowgirl, or Lindsay's lost brother."
Chris laughs at that. "I decided to bring Heather because… well, it was her, or put up with Blaineley. She will be the third judge of this theater."
"Let's just get this over with. I don't want to waste another second of my life on this stupid show," Heather said.
The stage was fully lit. The curtain was rising. There were a bunch of purple lights, cardboard trees in the background, and a piece shaped like a hill.
Chris, Chef, and Heather were sitting at the jury table, ready for the show.
The music began to play, while Sonya began to walk towards the stage. She enters the scene, and begins to sing:
Once, there was a way,
to get back homeward
Once, there was a way,
to get back home
Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry,
and I will sing a lullaby.
All three judges applaud for the presentation, but suddenly, something unexpected happens.
A sandbag is released from its place, and it ends up falling right on Sonya's head, knocking her to the ground.
"Sonya!" they all yelled, and went to help her.
"Everything is alright?" Chris asked.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine. Thank you" Lucas said. "How are you?".
"She is knocked out!" Maggie said.
"Well, you will have to present something else. I give you 5 minutes to prepare something new."
"That is not fair!" Felix yelled, pulling out his rule book. "Section 3, Paragraph 4. Injuries: Any contestant who suffers from accidental minor injuries should be cared for, and a short break should be taken to address the problem."
Everyone was surprised by that play by Felix, including Chris.
"Chef, when was that rule added?"
Chef just shrugs. He doesn't know anything about the rules either.
Chris sighs in frustration. "Fine. You have an hour to attend to Sonya, and think of a new play. As time passes, the Raptor Falcons will be the first to present."
Back in the room, after taking Sonya to the cabin to rest, everyone was thinking of some new play, although some were upset by the accident.
"How did that even happen?" Maggie asked. "Those sandbags were tied tightly. They couldn't come loose and fall that easy."
"Which means someone must have dropped them on purpose," Raymond said.
"Do you think it was ... the mole?" Ginger asked.
"I already told you not to think about the mole" said Chantal. "We must focus on thinking of a new play. We only have half an hour."
"And why don't you want to think about that?" Hunter asked. "Is it because you want to cover your tracks?"
"What are you implying, Hunter?" Chantal asked angrily. "I never hurt a comrade on purpose."
"I'm not hinting at anything. I'm just mentioning the facts."
"And surely you are blaming me for the accident so that you can come out of this discussion innocent."
Confessional
Karen - "It's so funny watching people fight each other, knowing that none of them is the mole. The downside of all this is that that sandbag was planned to fall on Rita. I'll have to think of something new."
Before the two can begin to fight, Yoshi gets in the way.
"Easy, both of you. We can never know if that was an accident or was a dirty move by the mole, but if you guys keep fighting, we will lose the challenge."
Chantal calms down. "It's true. We need to think of a new work."
"Where are we going to get a work already written in half an hour?" Maggie asked.
Everyone then looks away at Ginger, who arches an eyebrow.
"Ginger, do you still have your script?"
They had all returned to the stage. This time, it was the Raptor Falcons' turn to present their work.
The curtain rises again, revealing a stage full of desks and a blackboard. In front of the blackboard were Rita and Julien, and at the desks were the rest of the campers, except for Erika and Clover.
"Good morning, students. Today we are going to welcome our new student" said Rita, acting like a teacher. "Why don't you tell us your name?"
Julien was suddenly paralyzed, not knowing how to respond.
"Uhm... uhhh... ohhh... I… "
"Julien! Just say your name!" Rita yelled.
Julien was totally nervous, and was beginning to chew his nails on his nerves.
"I… uhm… twenty-four?"
The entire class and the audience began to laugh uproariously at that silly answer.
Confessional
Julien - "I admit that I always get quite nervous in front of a classroom."
"Ugh, great. Another genius" Rita sighed. "Go to your place, sir."
When Julien went to sit at his desk, Rita began to write on the blackboard.
"Very well, students, pay close attention, because if I hear a noise, I'm going to kick you all out of here."
"Kick us? Not that we were soccer balls," Otis said.
Rita ignores it. "Ok. Pearl!"
Perla stops writing some notes and gets up from her place. "I didn't do it, teacher!"
"What are you talking about? I'm not accusing you of anything" Rita said. "I want to give you a little arithmetic problem."
"Why me? I didn't do anything to you" said Pearl, worried that she was being "accused".
Rita sighs in frustration and gives up on her. "Sit down". She averts her eyes to another student. "Diego!".
"Present for president, professor!" Diego said, raising her hand.
"Do you know the four fundamental operations of arithmetic?"
"Of course, teacher" smiled Diego. "The four fundamental operations are the appendix operation, the enzyme operation, the heart operation, and the lung operation."
Rita slaps her face, frustrated at having a team of fools.
"I don't understand what I just heard, but I know that the four fundamental operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division," Otis explained.
Julien laughs. "What a fool he is. Put a zero on his grade."
Rita arches an eyebrow. "Why Julien? Otis answered the question correctly."
Otis catches Julien's attention from behind at his desk. "Watch and learn, fool."
Confessional
Rita - "It really is worrying to know if Julien is acting or not."
The scene changes to another, where Diego, Julien and Tony were in a computer room.
"We have to do something about that bully. When she finds out we tainted her photo, she will destroy us" Tony said.
"Easy, my friend. As the teacher said. Each painting is removed with something!"
This is followed by several scenes of attempts to remove the stained paint from a photo (all with Diego suffering various injuries).
"Nothing works!" Julien yelled, with a baseball bat in his hands, hitting Diego.
"Guys, remember! We are not cavemen!" Diego said, going to a computer. "We have technology."
However, Diego takes the computer and begins to crush the photo with it, like a caveman.
Suddenly, from outside the stage, Agatha arrives, playing a typical bully.
"Where are you bugs? It's time for your beating on Tuesday" Agatha said, cracking her knuckles.
The three of them hide behind a desk.
"I have a plan. On the count of three, we surprise her" suggested Tony.
"Wow, a surprise party!" Julien yelled happily. "It's your birthday?".
Suddenly, Agatha takes the desk and throws it away, revealing the boys' hiding place. She catches Tony and starts beating him mercilessly.
"Julien! Diego! Do something!" Tony yelled between the blows he received, until Agatha got bored of hitting him and threw him away.
"Happy Birthday!" Julien said, picking up a baseball bat from the ground. "This is your gift."
Agatha takes the bat and starts hitting Julien and Diego with it, while Clover goes to the front of the stage.
"And that would be all from us. Bye!" she yelled as she went to help her teammates.
Everyone applauds, including the jury, when the curtain falls.
Confessional
Tony - He was covered in bruises. "I think casting Agatha as the bully was a serious mistake."
"Okay. That was more fun than I expected" said Chris. "Now it is the turn of the Rabid Rabbits, and they will not stop by any accident now, do you understand?"
The curtain rises again, revealing a scene with the appearance of a neighborhood.
"Today is prom, daughter," said Felix, playing a father.
"Father! I don't want to be with that traitor! He played that joke on me with the bat!" Chantal said, playing the daughter.
"You are already 19 years old. If you cannot find a man to be with, you will be alone for the rest of your life, like a spinster and with 40 cats."
"Felix!" Chantal growled. "That was not in the script."
"Are you sure, captain?" asked Felix, handing her a $ 100 bill.
"Forget my complaints!" Chantal exclaimed, jumping into his arms. "Let's get married today!"
"But you are father and daughter!" Heather said, horrified, from the jury.
Confessional
Chantal - "I must confess that I go a little... crazy, when I see a man with a large loot. But let's be clear, I always look inside a person first."
The scene changes. Now Hunter, Maggie, Ginger and Lucas were present, although one of them was not in the mood to be an actor.
"What does that pirate think!" Hunter growled. "Blaming me for that accident!"
"Well... you put that bat in her hat" Maggie said, just as Chantal appeared on the scene.
"Ohhh, so you were the one with the joke, huh?" Chantal said, before slapping Hunter with her hat.
Both girls leave the scene, while Hunter growls in anger and throws the hat to the ground and steps on it in frustration.
"Uhm, Hunter. Can I borrow your slingshot so I can hunt down the bat?" Ginger said.
Hunter hands it to her. "And this time don't fail" he threatened.
"Lucas, go get a cage at the store. I'll take care of this animal."
Ginger aims the slingshot at the bat hidden in the hat, and shoots a pebble at it. The bat flies off and attacks the jury, specifically Heather.
"Get off me, flying rat!"
The setting changes to a store, where Raymond acted as the cashier, and Nigel was the owner of the place.
When Lucas walks in, Nigel's voice comes through the speakers.
"Finally a customer. Remember our motto, cashier."
"Who said that?" Lucas said fearfully. He goes to the cashier. "Hey Raymond. The roof is talking."
"Are you coming to buy something, or did you just come to chat with the roof?" Raymond asked.
"I need a ... a ... uhh, uhm..." Lucas was starting to get sleepy and goes to sleep standing up and snoring. Annoyed, Raymond snaps his fingers in front of Lucas to wake him up. "Wh-what is it?"
"Lucas, go play stupid somewhere else!"
"Cashier, remember our motto: We will never deny a customer, even the most ridiculous request," said Nigel's voice from the speakers.
"The roof is right, Raymond. You are not a good employee."
Raymond sighs in frustration. "Lucas, just say you want a cage for the bat."
"Great idea Raymond! I want to buy a cage for a bat."
"Finally. Do you want a bag or...?" Raymond covers his mouth immediately, knowing that he just made a serious mistake.
"Uhhhhhhhhhh…" Lucas stood in a pensive pose again, while Raymond began to bang his forehead against the table.
Confessional
Raymond - "The saddest thing about all that, is that Lucas surely wasn't acting."
The scene returns to the neighborhood, where Hunter and Chantal were glaring at each other.
"I don't understand how certain creatures are accepted into school" said Chantal.
Hunter looks at her with hatred. "If you speak for yourself, there is a school for mental morons over there."
"What?!" Chantal growled.
"No, calm down. I'm sure you have nothing to do in that school."
"Of course not".
"Because they would fail you."
Chantal growls angrily and begins to lose patience.
"Listen to me well, dear. I do not doubt that, at some time, I have come to feel something more than a simple estimate, but now that I know you well, I have to say, that, if I were your wife, the first day of married, I would put poison in the coffee!"
Hunter looks at her carefully. "And if you were my wife, I would DRINK that coffee!"
Chantal is completely fed up and launches to attack Hunter. They both start fighting, until they fall off the stage, right at the jury table, accidentally hitting Chris, Chef and Heather.
"Enough!" Chris yelled, while Chef stops Chantal and Hunter. "The challenge ends here. It is time for the judges to render their final verdicts."
"I quite liked the fight between the pirate and the hunter. They have my vote" said Chef.
"I would have given the Rabbits the win, but that attack ultimately ruined their chance, so I'm giving the Falcons my vote," Chris explained.
"Both plays were terrible, poorly written and rushed, with bad directing and no use of costumes. They generated no feeling, and mediocre acting," Heather explained. "Neither deserves to win, but if I had to choose one, then I choose the team that these two beasts do not belong to" she pointed to Chantal and Hunter.
"The Raptor Falcons win their first challenge!" Chris announced. "The Rabid Rabbits will send someone home."
The Falcons celebrated their first victory, while the Rabbits wailed in lament. They all leave the stage back to the cabins.
When they got back to camp, everyone had gone to take a shower or went to get their dinner, except Erika, who didn't need any of that.
Erika enters her cabin and finds a letter on her pillow.
"Hm, how strange. Who would send me a letter?" she wondered, opening it to read.
The Rabid Rabbits had shown up at the elimination ceremony, including Sonya, who had finally regained consciousness.
"Welcome Rabbits. You guys could have started a great winning streak if it weren't for the lack of cooperation between your members" said Chris.
"Get over this," Hunter growled.
"Everyone has already left their votes and made their decisions. Whoever I call, you are going to receive a marshmallow that ensures one more day in the game."
Some were nervous, but others had furrowed brows.
"The following people are safe ..."
...
...
"Nigel"
...
...
"Sonya"
...
...
"Yoshi"
...
...
"Karen"
...
...
"Raymond"
...
...
"Maggie"
...
...
"Felix"
...
...
"Ginger"
...
...
"and Lucas"
Lucas wasn't paying attention and the marshmallow hit him on the forehead, knocking him off his seat.
Now there were two people left without the marshmallow: Chantal and Hunter.
"Chantal. Hunter. You are both in danger for causing your team to lose, and while it would be fun to keep you guys and watch you argue for longer, one of you will have to quit the competition, never to come back ... ever."
Chantal and Hunter glare at each other.
"The last marshmallow goes to ..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Chantal"
"Ha! Take that one, sailor!" Chantal scoffed, catching his marshmallow.
"What?! But…! Am I out?" Hunter said furiously. "I can't believe it! You guys are ...!"
"Hunter, you have been eliminated from Total Drama: Enchanted. Time to go."
"Fine! I don't care! You are all going to regret this!" Hunter growled, getting up.
Hunter was already seated in the Sling of Shame. Everyone on his team was there, watching one of their own go.
"Goodbye buddy" said Nigel.
"It was a pleasure having you around" Ginger smiled.
Chris grabs the lever, ready to fire, but just then, Erika appeared, with an expression that said she was crying, or trying.
"Chris. I'm leaving the contest. I have to go home" Erika said.
"Why? What happened?" Chris was surprised.
"I have received a letter from my parental units" Erika said, showing the letter she had found in her bed. "The letter says that they are very sick and that they need my care."
"Wow, that's unexpected" Chris smiled.
"So I have made the decision to quit Total Drama: Enchanted. I cannot stay here knowing that my parental units are not feeling well."
"Well… you can take Hunter's place as the one eliminated today."
"What?!" Chantal said furiously. "But she's not even on our team!"
"No problem for me, Chris" Hunter said, with a smile. "I am understanding of the problems of my teammates." Hunter gets off the slingshot, handing the spot to Erika.
"Erika, you have been eliminated of Total Drama: Enchanted. You will have to leave the contest... forever."
"It was a pleasure meeting you all" Erika said, sitting on the slingshot.
"Erika, are you sure about this?" Chantal asked.
"There are priorities in life, Chantal. I already explained this to my team. See you soon, friends."
Chris pulls the lever, releasing the slingshot, and shooting Erika into the air, away from the island.
Confessional
Hunter - "What a relief. I couldn't accept being the third eliminated. It's too humiliating."
Otis - "Great. Even when we win, one of us leaves. This is not going to look good."
Rita - "What's wrong with that Erika to leave the contest like that?"
Karen - "Oh, wow. They're so simple. I just hope that Pearl shows tougher than that brainless machine Erika. Even I'm surprised Erika didn't find out that the letter wasn't from her parents. So long, sucker."
Hunter - "I'm not going to forgive any of my teammates for this. I'm going to get revenge! It's time for me to take action!"
As everyone returns to their cabins, Chris turns to the camera. "Well that was an unexpected twist. Hunter was saved in the last second, and no one on his team is happy with that result," said Chris. "What revenge does Hunter have planned for his team? Will Chantal and Hunter reconcile, or will they return to the stage to fight? And who will be next in the Sling of Shame? Find out, next time, in... "
"Total! Drama! Enchanted!"
Back at camp, Clover sneaks out of her cabin, going straight to the bathroom. She walks in and locks the door to ensure privacy. She observes her surroundings, and makes sure there are no witnesses.
Clover takes out a kind of little microphone from her jacket, and places it on her ear.
"Agent Clover Jones, reporting".
An indecipherable voice is heard from the microphone.
"Director, I have finally found the target ... He hides among the humans under the name of Tony ... What do you want me to do with him, Director? ... Only that? Nothing more? ... As you order, Director."
Clover removes her microphone and puts it in a safe place.
"New directions from the Director. Objective: Eliminate Tony from the contest."
CONTESTANTS
Raptor Falcons: Diego, Agatha, Julien, Clover, Otis, Pearl, Tony, Rita.
Rabid Rabbits: Felix, Chantal, Hunter, Ginger, Raymond, Karen, Lucas, Maggie, Nigel, Sonya, Yoshi.
Eliminated: Bianca (Raptor Falcons), Isaac (Raptor Falcons), Erika (Raptor Falcons)
And this chapter concludes with the abandonment of Erika.
Never plan to keep Erika for long. Revealing her secret to Rita was the trigger for Karen to act against them. Erika also served to demonstrate how far Karen could go with her dirty plays to get rid of the competition.
On the other hand, we also have to thank Karen for saving Erika from being mentally and literally manipulated by Rita.
Speaking of the elimination that didn't happen, Hunter isn't going to sit idly by for being saved by a stroke of good luck, and indirectly by Karen.
About the others, here begins the plot of Clover with her mission, which was mentioned in her first confession of the season. Do you think Tony is even human? What does Clover know about him?
This chapter had Heather as a special guest. I decided to include her here because I felt it would be nice to see an old contestant make an appearance for the season, like the cameos in Revenge of the Island.
Chris's comment about Blaineley was because I was originally going to bring Blaineley, but I replaced her with Heather at the last minute. There will likely be other appearances by other old contestants in other chapters, but I don't promise anything.
Speaking of today's challenge... I think Heather summed it up perfectly. This was a slightly weak challenge compared to the previous ones, since the challenge was the only thing that I had not thought well for this chapter.
All the performances were pure references and parodies to other cartoons. What do you think of everyone's performances? Could it be that they were even acting?
Sonya's song was a reference to my favorite animated movie: Sing
What do you guys think of Erika's early elimination?
Do you think Karen has gone too far with that trick?
Do you think Hunter deserved to be eliminated?
What do you think is Tony's goal on the show?
What will Clover do to fulfill his mission?
What do you think of Heather as a special guest?
Will there be other special guests?
If there are, who would you like to see in a chapter?
What caricature did they parody in plays?
Too many questions, I know. That's the fun.
I remind everyone that you are free to try to guess the next eliminated. I'll send congratulations to anyone who guesses correctly.
Well, that would be it for now. See you in the next chapter.
