"Last time on Total Drama Island." The camera turns on to show Chris standing on the dock going over a review happening on the show on the last episode. "The Screaming Gophers got their first victory in the awake-a-thon. When Duncan had a good night of sleep on the toilet, giving the Killer Bass their first loss. Ezekiel used all the cards on his sleeve, and even in the end couldn't manage to take the victory from Gwen's hands. Heather created the first alliance on Total Drama Island by accepting Lindsay as her newest member, as Beth showed too much devotion to be not eliminated from the show... Freaky... The Killer Bass team discovered that in dire circumstances it would be best you find good scapegoats to make their team dynamic remain strong, which was a good jab when it came to the annoying twins Katie and Sadie who didn't stop their annoyance since the first episode. They had a chance to prove themselves which they failed spectacularly... This leads Sadie to be the first eliminated from the Killer Bass, but not without good proof of their friendship and teamwork by putting their names on the flag of Killer Bass. A good way to show a good friendship... And with the partiture of Sadie, the Killer Bass finally showed their killing intents, they are up for blood, and you all should take the front seats. Who is going to try to destroy the friendship and powerful teamwork of Killer Bass now that they are swearing revenge on all the Gophers who would have the terrible decision to wake up from bed this morning? And who would be the next participant who would walk towards the humiliating Dock of Shame? Stay tuned for the most exciting campfire ceremony of them all. On here on Total. Drama. Island!"
(Main Lodge)
The main lodge was with a mixed environment around the breakfast. The Screaming Gophers were with their morale high, chatting happily while eating their food.
But on the other side in the nearby table, the Killer Bass team was in silence, with a completely serious face.
Katie still shed some tears from having a terrible night of sleep without her sister and best friend. It was a painful feeling to have in the morning. But with Bridgette, Tyler, and DJ comforting her, she was still able to remain strong...but for how long? She doesn't know.
Courtney was massaging her legs and still flinched from her face bruised from the impact of the fall. Her legs felt like jelly, and she knew that she would need to find a way to use them since this show could be heartless.
Duncan was still tired from the last challenge, but he wasn't showing any sign of exhaustion... He glanced at both the C.I.T. who was massaging her muscles, and the homeschooled boy who was just touching his food.
Ezekiel remained quiet, knowing well that the morale of his team wasn't the best at the moment, but taking a glance at Eva, who was doing a workout of her biceps...
He glanced at the cheerful spirit of the Screaming Gophers...
Their joy would soon be smashed to smithereens.
"Good morning campers" Chris appeared as he was in his cheerful mood."Duncan, what happened? You look a bit awful?"
"I'm fine," Duncan rudely replied. "Just feel my face numb, but it could have been a lot worse. What do you want?"
Chris smiled as he then glanced around.
"From seeing all the campers here, there is still missing a Bass," Chris commented as the group glanced around.
"Did someone wake him up?" Courtney asked, and DJ nodded his head.
"Yeah, he is taking a shower, and kept mumbling about the sleepwalking something," DJ commented as at the time the group watched Harold open the door, and walk towards the Killer Bass table.
"Duuuuude, did anyone see me walking last night?" Harold asked, and Ezekiel, Tyler, and Geoff stared at each other.
Tyler was about to reply but Duncan tapped his mouth to reply instead.
"No, we were sleeping, where were you?"Duncan grinned, as he was enjoying the show that was happening on that morning.
"I just woke up in the A..." Harold was about to explain where he was until Courtney coughed loudly which made the nerd suddenly realize the place he was going to say. So he quickly corrected himself. "There... but I don't know how... wait... did I was snoring loudly yesterday?"
"Yes," The whole group of Killer Bass answered in unison which made Harold nod his head.
"Okay, makes sense. I always sleepwalk when I start snoring loudly." Harold explained that he was satisfied with the conclusion and got to sit with his friends and teammates.
The whole group looked at each other in confusion, while Duncan tried to hold his laugh.
(Confession - Harold)
"This was a symptom I discovered at home, every time I snore loudly, I wake up in the random locations. I'm so glad that this time I woke up dressed, because some of the time, I cannot control what I dress as sleepwalking. My sister once had to wake me up in the middle of the park, and I was dressing like a ballerina." Harold explained in the confession that at the time he should be ashamed of such things. "I don't know why, but my siblings always find amusement when it comes to me waking up after my sleepwalk. I think the tiredness on the last challenge made me sleepwalk again. So I hope we don't have a challenge like that again."
"He-hey, everyone! Chris got the attention of everyone as he gestured at the door opening up, revealing the gothic girl who was with both her arms down and walking like a zombie towards the table. "It's Gwen."
And at that statement, the whole Gophers cheered loudly as they kept applauding.
"Yeah," Lindsay said happily, but then she went nearby to Justin to whisper. "Why are we clapping?"
The Killer Bass remained quiet, even as Courtney narrowed her eyes, but then she felt something tightening her leg, which made her look on her side... It was both Duncan and Ezekiel who were focusing on making Courtney keep her cool.
But not just her, Katie glared so much, even as her eyes were red... Tyler gulped because he wasn't sure if was from crying, or from bloodshot eyes.
"I'm so tired... I can't feel my face..." Gwen stated not just on the second later she faceplanted on the table.
Heather turns to Beth and Lindsay,
"So let's go over the rules one more time. Number one, I am the captain of this alliance, so I get to make the rules. Number two..." She waited for them to give her answers.
"Breaking the rules can result in getting kicked out of the alliance?" Lindsay asked, just to be sure if she got it right, and Heather approved.
"Number three, you can borrow any of our stuff without asking, but your stuff is out of limits, I still don't get what usually would want to borrow my stuff," Beth said as she pointed out to Heather, who just blinked...
"Well, I would usually take makeup, perfume, shampoo, or even clothing which would fit," Heather commented as she had in mind that if Lindsay had some stuff that she would find good for her to use, she would use and abuse from such privilege.
"Well, you can have it if you want. I'm more from a farm, so I don't a very good makeup, I usually just take the few versions that were on sale in the mall." Beth commented which made Heather blink from the perspective of Beth.
Heather cringed with the idea of using all the old stuff and the idea of using the clothing of Beth would make her feel humiliated.
"Aww you poor thing." Lindsay got emotional from seeing such a terrible lifestyle. "I would have nightmares about living in such a terrible state."
Heather noticed that was a lose-lose situation with Beth, so she needed to do something.
"Alright, alright. Here is the modified version of the rule. You and Lindsay can borrow stuff from each other, in the same way I can borrow things from you both. But my stuff is off limits okay?" Heather corrected the last rule, which made Lindsay pause, and think about it... and seeing Beth was in a terrible spot, she then smiled.
"I liked this rule. I would have offered my makeup to Beth, but thanks for thinking about that Heather." Lindsay smiled as she gave credit to the leader of the alliance.
"Really? Would you do that for me?" Beth asked as she sniffed. Happily, she found trustful friends to be on her side.
"Yes," Heather said tiredly. But then she narrowed her eyes. "But to be sure that you are not wasting product from Lindsay, we will be watching you closely to see if you are using it right."
"AHHHH, YOU ARE THE BEST FRIENDS A GIRL WOULD EVER WANT." Beth smiled so wide, that she hugged both Lindsay and Heather, and while Lindsay felt so happy, Heather cringed from being hugged by Beth.
(Confession - Heather)
"I'm doing that because it was the best way to make both girls be on their leashes, and that way I would have their stuff, while mine is protected. I'm just glad that I didn't have to appeal for threatening and manipulating the alliance like that. But Beth needs to learn how to use makeup. If she wastes all the lipstick Lindsay has, how would even have some for me?" Heather explained as she scoffed, and then facepalmed at the idea of how terrible a situation she would be. "She really, really needs a life. I'm just glad that Lindsay would help her out with that, the dumb blond and the nerd. A great duo in the future."
"Now let's have some fun," Heather said as both girls seemed to be happy with the idea. "Hey, fish-head! Way to kick out one of your useless players, the chubby one was a good riddance! Ready to lose another of your teammates?"
*crack*
Heather who was smiling cheerfully, suddenly saw something that she may regretted...
All Killer Bass team were in deep silence, but with their eyes, it was as if looks could kill... Heather noticed that she provoked a river full of piranhas.
"Okay campers, listen up!" Chris clapped his hands, which brought the attention of everyone again. "Your next challenge begins in ten minutes, and be prepared to bring it."
The Killer Bass were the first ones to get up and immediately followed Chris, but each Gopher could see that they had shadows in their eyes. Even DJ who seemed to be the kindest, seemed to be unable to take that provocation slightly.
(Gym)
10 minutes later, all the 20 campers made their way to the gym-like area set up on the beach. There were bleachers on both sides with the walls made of glass and Chef wearing the official referee's uniform with a whistle around his neck. Sitting in a high chair between bleachers.
Duncan, Geoff, and DJ cracked their knuckles, Eva and Tyler cracked their necks, Ezekiel cracked his fingers one by one, Courtney stretched her shoulder with a slight crack, and Katie and Bridgette stretched themselves but didn't show any crack sound. Harold sniffed and spat on the floor. It was disgusting, but he proved a point.
All the team was ready.
The Gophers didn't know why but there was an ominous aura on the court...
Until Chef used his whistle to bring attention to all the campers, who were in silence. Chef as a referee walked between the campers, while he examined every single one of them... The silence but killing intent from the Killer Bass made him grin widely as he then glanced at the Screaming Gophers who seemed not aware of what was going to happen. So he shook his head in disappointment.
"What a massacre," Chef mumbled to himself, as he was going to enjoy himself a little too much in the next few minutes. So he went behind Chris who was smiling because he knew how the episode would go, and he was eager to see a bloodshed like that, so he tossed a red rubber ball up and down in his hand.
"Today's challenge is the classic game of dodgeball," Chris said while he could see the glimpse in the eyes of the Killer Bass, while the screaming Gophers just realized the trap they were in. "The first rule of the dodgeball, if you get hit with the ball..."
Chris then threw the ball in his hands at Courtney, but she caught it before hitting her gut. "You're out. But if you catch the ball like Courtney did, the thrower gets sent out and the catcher gets to bring in another team member out on the court."
The Killer Bass were in silence, while the Screaming Gophers noticed something was wrong, the rival team wasn't saying a single word. And the silence itself was getting on their nerves.
"Okay now Geoff, try to hit me," Chris said as he picked up another ball and threw it to Geoff. "If you are holding a ball, you can use it to deflect a ball, but if it knocks the ball out of your hands, you're out."
"So wait, what do I do if the ball comes at me?" Lindsay asked as she was still trying to understand the rules of the game.
"You use the 5Ds," Ezekiel said which some of his teammates, and even the Screaming Gophers looked at him confused, but Chris had his eyes sparkling as he understood which movie reference Ezekiel was talking about. "Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge."
"You said dodge twice," Gwen said as she rolled her eyes, but she then saw Geoff launching the ball to Chris who used the rubber ball to renounce and it went in her direction. And immediately hitting her head... "Ohhh... okay, I get it why is called dodge twice."
"Ohhhhhhhh," Lindsay said, as she could see why the 5Ds as well, she forgot the numbers 2,3 and 4, but numbers 1 and 5 she now understand it. "I gotta to Dodge."
Chris walked next to the chair Chef was going to be the referee...
"Alright sports, you have one minute until game time. You'll have 5 people on the court each game. If you catch a ball, you can bring in whoever you want. It's best of five and you get a point by hitting all five people with the ball!" Chris then used a different accent which made the whole group of both teams look at each other in confusion. "And just for you know, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is a classic. You all should watch it at least once."
Ezekiel snickered as he walked towards the team to talk about the strategy.
And looking at both Eva and Duncan, he already can guess what's going to happen.
"I want to lead the team." Both Duncan and Eva said in unison. And it was what it took to make a huge discussion and argument, so it was best for Ezekiel to disarm their strong personalities.
"GUYS." Ezekiel then brought attention to both Eva and Duncan. "I want to lead the first team squad, to see their strategy and determine who were their strongest player. Give me Harold, Tyler, Katie, and Courtney for the first game."
And with that logic, both Eva and Duncan stared at each other, and then at the homeschooled boy again.
"Why? From what I saw, you took the nerd, the princess who doesn't seem to be her 100 percent with her legs still like jelly, and one of the twins... I understand the jock but why the rest?" Duncan said as he raised his eyebrow. Since Ezekiel always seemed to have ways to help the team, starting with that was out of the ordinary for the kid.
"Well to be honest. I've always wanted to play dodgeball after watching shows and movies about it, but I never got the chance of it. So I think throwing the first game just for fun would be good for not just me, but to make the team seem to be doing something good. Second, we can see which would be the strongest of the other team, so you two can observe and then find the right strategy to finish them off." Ezekiel explained as he then pointed out at the other team. "And third... you both are too strong together, so let's just use it to destroy them, without mercy. So let's not fight who would be the best leader. But how are we going to destroy the Gophers... because Heather just *beep* me off."
Duncan and Eva looked at each other, and with a silent nod and narrowing their eyes together, they gave a handshake. And with that, Ezekiel would lead the first game, while the other teams, Eva and Duncan would play together.
Ezekiel left the duo alone, and Duncan decided to explain his strategy.
"I have a strategy I picked up during my first visit in the juvie, it's called Rush the New Guy... and it's like this," Duncan commented as Eva listened quietly and hummed as she could see why it was important.
"Got it, we are going to use it. You are going to be the next team leader, so don't screw this up." Eva could see why Duncan wanted to be the team leader, so she decided to give her approval to him on that. But at the time he would screw up, she would beat the crap of him.
At the time the group got inside the court, Ezekiel went to talk with Harold.
"Harold, just to be sure, dodgeball is a game of abilities, launch the ball, catch the ball, and dodge the ball, be honest, Is there something you can use to maximize any of those abilities?" The hat homeschooled boy said at the nerd, who kept silent until one idea popped into his head.
"Figure-skating," Harold came to a conclusion, which made Ezekiel stop on his track... And then smiled widely.
"Oh you wild-card bastard," Ezekiel said with such a smile, that Harold could see himself able to prove his abilities. "Focus in dodge, we are a bait on the first challenge. But with that in mind, we know what's going on in the next challenge. Let's go."
Both Ezekiel and Harold walked towards Courtney was still feeling her legs unable to work properly, and she looked annoyed at both of them.
"I appreciate that you want to bring me here Zeke, but why did you decide to do it? We are going to lose one point to them." Courtney said grumpily as Ezekiel decided to be honest.
"Like I said to Duncan and Eva, I never played dodgeball before. So I've always wanted to try at least once... So I'm going to throw the first point just for the sake of having fun, but that way I choose you guys, because I wanted them to be caught by surprise by Eva and Duncan, I want them to feel comfortable with their false sense of security..." Ezekiel explained as he then glanced at Heather, Owen, Lindsay, and Cody. "And to be honest, to know if they have some people we should prepare ourselves against too."
Courtney glanced at the rival team, and she could understand what Ezekiel wanted... he wanted to make a bait team just for the next points, they would massacre everything...
And that thought alone was something that made her smile.
"Okay, now I understand. Well, I think that should be fair. I'm not in the best condition to play dodgeball, but it is just for fun. I think we can try it out." Courtney smiled, and Ezekiel nodded to her.
"Thanks." Ezekiel smiled, and with Tyler and Katie now on their side, it seemed the team of 5 was finally ready.
Heather also noticed something was wrong. As she looked at the team Killer Bass seemed to be excited for the game, but she realized that the strongest of their team wasn't even participating.
"What's the matter fish heads? Already throwing away the points? Because it wouldn't be funny to win another challenge..." Heather even as her gut feeling was telling her was up, she still wanted to provoke them. "Afraid to send the stupid twin with the fat twin tonight?"
Tyler got angry, but Courtney hold his hand, and with a stare made the jock remain quiet. Because when he looked on his side, the tan twin, was livid.
"Teams ready?" Chris asked as both seemed to be excited to see how the game would go. "The best of 5 wins, now I want to see balls flying."
And at the time Chef started using the whistle, and Beth was clapping her hands to cheer for her team.
Neither Gophers nor neither Bass, saw Katie being the first to take the rubber ball from the floor and launch it fast enough before Heather had time to process. Hitting directly on the head, and making the brat girl fall before her team to take the rubber ball.
Everyone was in silence, as all the campers stared at Katie who was breathing harshly, and staring at the fallen girl with hatred.
"That's for talking badly of my sister," Katie said as Chef whistled and pointed at Heather who was out of competition.
"WOHOOOOOOO." The killer Bass cheered from seeing the first point going already for the Killer Bass.
Heather got up, with her eye in a dark circle, and she looked at the Killer Bass in anger. But unable to do anything, she had to go back to the seats of Screaming Gophers.
Chef whistled again to resume the match.
Cody got the first ball, and this time proceeded to try to hit Tyler.
Tyler jumped as he then narrowed his eyes to the geek, who smiled sheepishly. With his entire body spinning, Tyler decided to use all his strength to launch the ball, but he committed a terrible mistake... he launched it in the direction of the Killer Bass group who was sitting... Especially on the strongest team member... the same team member who was narrowing her eyes and growling like a shark.
"OUCH." Duncan saw, that it was going to be terrible for the jock. "Welp, rest in peace dude."
"TYLERRRRRRRR." Eva snarled so loudly, that it made the jock gulp in fear. "Wait for me after this challenge."
"Oh no," Tyler whispered as he felt that nothing could make his day even worse.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Until he heard Owen with a rubber ball and with all his strength launch a ball into his tummy. And with a strength of 5 bulls, made him on the glass wall.
"Ahhh, my gut," Tyler said as his entire body went down.
The referee Chef whistled. Pointed out that Tyler was out, and Owen made a point for his team.
The screaming Gophers cheered loudly. While the Killer Bass gave a seat for Tyler... on Eva's side.
"Later we will talk..." Eva mumbled, as Tyler gulped, and was very afraid.
"Mommy," Tyler said, as he was very afraid of what was going to happen in the future.
And once again Chef whistled to resume the match.
Ezekiel had the rubber ball... And he was excited to see how he would play. Would he be good at a launch? an average? Who knows? It was a time like this when he watched cartoons and movies...
So he launched the ball into Leshawna's leg, which made her jump away. And then she took the ball and launched at him. So the homeschooled boy docked on the side. And with that, he was already participating in the game.
He smiled. He glanced at Courtney took the ball and launched the best as she could, but her legs were already giving in. So she dropped herself down.
"Dammit," Courtney said, as she could see the ball going towards her. But then she felt herself being pulled by the leg by both Harold and Katie. "Thanks guys."
Katie and Harold now saw Owen once again with the ball. Which made them glance at each other. Until Harold stepped himself further. And used his head to lead Katie to be away from the field. He looked at the big guy and an idea popped into his head.
By pressing his two feet on the ground, and making a gesture of tai-chi, he raised his hand and pointed at Owen, and then at himself. And he was making a gesture to make the fat boy from the Scream Gophers attack him. It was a challenge.
And Owen who saw that challenge, narrowed his eyes, and went full force on his attack. And one by one, the balls flew in the direction of the Killer Bass nerd.
And while many of Killer Bass were afraid for the poor nerd, Ezekiel smiled widely... Because it was time to show Harold's wicked skills.
Harold jumped with a split in the air, and then he spun his body on the floor like he was doing a breakdance, and by jumping he gave a moonwalk as he dodged another ball. And when Owen used another strong ball launch. Harold gave a matrix iconic scene which made everyone stare at how that dodge was from another level...
Ezekiel watched that scene... being on his side while doing this, was 10 times more awesome than the episode.
(Confession Duncan.)
"*beeeeeeeeeep*"
(Confession DJ.)
"*beeeeeeeeeep*"
(Confession Geoff.)
"*beeeeeeeeeep*"
(Confession Eva.)
"*beeeeeeeeeep*"
(Confession Courtney.)
"*beeeeeeeeeep*"
(Confession Tyler.)
"*beeeeeeeeeep*"
(Confession Katie.)
"*beeeeeeeeeep*"
(Confession Ezekiel.)
"Harold, you did a moonwalk in a dodgeball match and you didn't get hit, dude. That was AWESOME."
Courtney and Katie smirked... Since the whole group now had all the balls on their side of the field. Harold managed to bring all the balls to them. And with Ezekiel, now the trio had more chances to hit someone.
So Courtney, Ezekiel, and Katie went at the same time, and by surprise, two balls went in the direction of Owen who tried to jump but got hit by surprise, and Leshawna who got near him. While Cody jumped away from the ball that Katie launched at him.
Chef whistled as the Killer Bass team cheered from seeing now 2 other members of the Gophers being defeated.
The first match has been crushing around the groups. It was a match between 5 against 2.
Lindsay felt afraid as she was trying to launch the ball, but Ezekiel ducked, he then took the same ball and launched at the blondshell who remembered the 5Ds of the dodgeball, so she screamed as she dodged by jumping away.
Lindsay felt happy for finally dodging the game, but then she felt something hitting her leg. It was Courtney who managed to hit her with the ball...
Chef whistled and now making the game become 5 against 1.
The pressure was high, and Cody was cornered, he needed to think something to compete against the Killer Bass... So a plan happens in his mind and shows the tricks under his sleeve. Taking the ball from the floor and using his thumb to aim at Courtney, he spun the ball in the air a few times, before launching it at the C.I.T girl, who just tried to dodge, but the curve effect made the ball go and attack her on her back.
"Ahhh," Courtney went down from both her legs didn't keep much, and one simple hit was able to make her down.
Chef whistled as he pointed at Courtney making her elimination.
Katie, Ezekiel, and Harold looked at each other, noticing that the last member of the Screaming Gophers would be a challenge for them to overcome.
Katie launched her ball, but the boy ducked away, and with that, he came up with one idea in his mind. He used his t-shirt as a static shock on his rubber ball.
Ezekiel noticed what Cody was planning, so he decided to prepare himself.
And when the rubber ball got full of electricity, he launched directly at Katie. Who quickly noticed going in her direction. She ran away afraid... While Ezekie was waiting for the right timing... Until he jumped in the middle between Katie and the rubber ball.
It was the time he got the ball on his gut, and he even received a bit of charge of electricity from the static shock. Making him fall...
But at the smile of the geek boy who seemed to have taken down 2 Bass... his smile dropped when Ezekiel got up, while still holding the dodgeball between his arms.
The whistle of the chef was enough to make an annunciation of the first match going to the Killer Bass. The Killer Bass celebrated the victory. The team went together to decide their next strategy.
"Alright Zeke, did you have fun?" Courtney smiled as she felt it was a tough challenge, but she didn't expect to have won the first match. But now seeing the homeschooled boy still feeling a bit of pain giving a thumbs up. It seems that he had enough. "Alright, so we have the actual team here?"
Duncan and Eva nodded as they came forward.
"Owen and Cody, they were the strongest of their team," Eva explained as she pointed at how some of their members got defeated. "Also, the string bean got some moves."
"Yeah, dude, that was an awesome dodge. How did you do that?" Duncan had to give to Harold, who showed he was the best dodger over the whole team.
"Figure skating," Harold explained, as the team smiled like sharks. And the moral of Screaming Gophers would be down, quickly.
"Alright, Harold. Take your sit and watch the show. Maybe in the future, we can need a sub, and you would be perfect to bring the balls to us." Duncan smiled as he and Eva nodded as the motion of their plan would come into motion.
Ezekiel smiled, as finally, he was going to witness a scene of the episode of total drama... he always wondered what would be the Rush new guys' strategy combined with Eva's strength.
1 hour later. (Confession - Ezekiel)
"Never in my life I have witnessed a demonstration of such cruelty, violence, hatred force into a rubber ball being launched like that... For people who expected the Screaming Gophers any kind of consolation, or mercy? From Eva... well... I hope you guys like the idea of this episode ending up a bit quickly." Ezekiel said as he still looked awestruck from what happened, and he even took his hat off. "I wish I would pity the Screaming Gophers. I wish to... but this was AWESOME. THIS EPISODE IS THE BEST ONE EVER."
Now the next team groups on the sides were on the field.
Representing the Screaming Gophers: Justin, Beth, Owen, Trent, and Izzy.
And on the Killer Bass side: Duncan, Eva, DJ, Geoff and Bridgette.
At the time Chef whistled. The screaming Gophers were the first ones to take the ball... While the Killer Bass remained quiet, and still...
"Something is wrong," Heather observed as she then saw Owen launching his ball, and the Killer bass dodged, and another member did the same, Izzy, then Justin, and finally Beth... It took a while to notice that at the times her team was out of balls, her eyes went wide open.
The Killer Bass showed their grins, as they were with desire of blood. And Eva using all her strength, which was followed by the other members of Killer Bass, launched 5 balls directly on Owen... and with that... the giant has fallen.
Owen blacked out, as he opened his eyes, and saw double of his teammates.
Chef whistled to annunciate another point for the Killer Bass.
Heather got a bad feeling at that moment... and she just realized that it was too late to make some changes.
The next second, it was Beth, who tried to jump away, she was massacred so hard that her glasses went off from her face.
Izzy tried to be strong as she closed her eyes, but the impact of all the rubber balls was enough to make her be launched on the other side of the glass wall.
Trent took one ball to try to deflect them, but one of those balls... was aimed at his crotch, and he went on his knees before being massacred in the belly.
It was now the beauty boy who just watched his entire team eliminated, and gulping dry saliva, he saw Eva walking towards him.
"Now that we are all here at this point. I have a question for you pretty boy... in the face or the crotch?" Eva smiled like a devil, as her entire squad behind her raised their rubber balls aimed at Justin.
"IN THE CROTCH, IN THE CROTCH." Just said as he tried to protect his face from the rubber balls.
"Did you hear that, guys? He wants in the crotch." Eva smiled, as she then used all her strength to aim at Justin's jewels, and with that making all the air from his entire body leave.
And when he thought he was going to be relieved from the game, suddenly four balls went directly into the face.
"OUCH. The final attack needs a replay." Chris pointed as the camera then went back on the video, showing the transaction of all 4 balls hitting Justin in the face, from his pain of being launched at the crotch for then attacked on the face, and Chris happily and sadistically decided to play with the video. "Play, then come back, then play again, then come back. And now Slow Motion."
Justin's face felt so much attacked by the whole group that it was sure that his beautiful face was going to be feeling awful later.
"MY FACE, MY BEAUTIFUL FACE," Justin shouted as he went into the fetal position, and Heather rolled her eyes.
"Oh wake up baby. We just lost a match." Heather sneered, as the whole Killer Bass was cheering loudly.
"PERFECT WIN GUYS," Courtney said as the group hugged. "One more victory and we are free for the rest of the day."
"Alright Harold, it's time to show your value again," Duncan said as he glanced at Eva who nodded her head evilly. "This time we are not going to use my strategy. But we are just going to use dodge and destroy."
Harold drank his water bottle and got curious about the plan.
"Alright, I'm in." Harold smiled as he felt excited to show his skills once again. And Ezekiel could see everyone happy and excited to see how it would turn out.
"We gotta do something," Heather said as she wasn't able to think of a better plan. "Owen, Cody, Trent, Justin you are going with me."
"NO, I DON'T WANT TO GO IN," Justin said as he tried to look at his reflection, but the damage made by the rubber balls made him cry in pain. "Don't look at me, I'm horrendous."
"Oh cry me a river. Just show them who is the best pretty boy." Leshawna said as pushed the model down to the group. Who lamented to have woken up from his bed.
Heather raised her eyebrow, thinking Leshawna was the one who was going to offer herself, but never inside of her mind, she would see the black girl pushing the poor kicked boy to go back to receive more pain... Heather snickered into seeing that side of Leshawna.
"Alright, if we are going to lose. Then let's just make them lose some of their team members too. Owen, Cody, when you launch the ball, make sure to hit the target." Heather gave the commands, and the group seemed to be ready to play.
The final round.
Eva, Duncan, Harold, DJ, and Geoff from the Killer Bass side, while Heather, Cody, Owen, Trent, and Justin from the Screaming Gophers.
"Harold, for the sake of our victory we need you to provoke them and dodge every single ball... Do you think you can handle it?" Eva asked as she could see Harold stretching himself.
Harold sniffed, and with his eyes narrowed, he smirked at her.
"Sure," Harold said confidently, as the Chef was ready once again to start the match.
And with the whistle of the game, the match was set, and the game started once again. But this time, Eva, and Duncan took their balls, while each member of the group gave some space to Harold to use his skill.
Heather, Owen, and Cody got their balls and were ready to start. Until...
"Hey... are those fake?" Harold suddenly commented as he pointed in the direction of Heather, who paused at the time she was going to launch the ball.
"What are fake?" Heather asked as she narrowed her eyes. Until she saw Harold using both his hands to gesture to his chest, and with that she dropped her mouth in disbelief.
"Yeah, looking from this angle, they seemed kinda not natural to me." Harold just shrugged, as it got Heather to grit her teeth and her eyes twitch in anger.
"WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT?" Heather furiously shouted, as she was ready to aim at the nerd, who suddenly just tried to act himself.
"I don't judge, but it seems you use fake t..." Harold said casually but was interrupted by a ball launching at him, which he immediately dodged by spinning like a ballerina. "SORRY, I THINK THEY ARE FINE IN YOU... EVEN IF THEY WERE FAKE."
"ROARRRRRRR." Heather roared as she took the balls from Owen and Cody, and launched at Harold, who danced around by spinning around the attack, and when Heather finally noticed what she had done. She realized that she was played by the nerd... And with the bodybuilder and the delinquent cracking their knuckles. "Oh no."
And like a missile, she was launched away on the glass wall. And with enough force to even leave a crack on the wall.
Owen tried to catch the next ball, but it hit him directly in the face.
After that, Cody used his spinning ball, but Harold decided to dance around it, by jumping with a split and then doing a then making his body like dead, as he went down. And using his body to go up without using his arms. Cody realized his mistake, when Duncan launched the ball on his gut, making him spat in pain.
And now once again, it was the whole group and Justin.
"Oh no. Please, have mercy." Justin said as he was on his knees... But then he saw like the devil approaching him.
"Mercy is for the weak." And with that, Eva launched the ball with such force, that Justin got knocked out, making him limbless.
The chef whistled as the final match was decided.
"The winners: The Killer Bass." Chris raised his arm at the victorious team who every single one of them celebrated. Hugs and High-fives were shown as they all seemed to be happy with their victory. "Screaming Gophers, you had tried, but helplessly got massacred."
Chris pointed out that Justin was in a fetal position trying to be not looked at by cameras.
"I recommend you get a shower and prepare to choose who is going out today." Chris pointed out, while he could see the winners still happy with their victory. "Well, that's a very short challenge, but a good one nowadays."
The Screaming Gophers left the field, while some of the Killer Bass remained there.
"Hey, Chris." A voice called for him, at the time the camera turned off. It was the hat boy Ezekiel. "Can you tell me when you are going to disassemble the field? I want to play more later with some guys, without you know... Having the elimination at stake."
"Well, it always depends on the interns, so they always take 1 or 2 days to disassemble everything before the preparations for the next challenge."Chris shrugged off, while Chef got out from his position of the referee and dressed himself as chef again. "For someone who played dodgeball for the first time, gotta say it was average, but you had good timing."
Ezekiel smiled.
"Yeah, but we didn't have time to practice with Patches O'Houlihan," Ezekiel commented and Chris laughed loudly.
"Kid, gotta say, for someone watching cartoons and movies, you know how to entertain others. Always be yourself okay?" Chris means it since the shows he hosts usually end up with many people getting crazy.
"Alright." Ezekiel left, and Chris and Chef went back to their business.
(Aquarium)
The whole group was reunited around the cave they proudly named Aquarium, Eva got the satisfaction of the victory as she kept using her dumbbells to work out her biceps.
Ezekiel was typing as he planned for another chapter of Steven Universe.
Duncan was playing with his knife.
DJ was happy as he was sitting nearby and observing the nature inside of the cave.
Tyler was playing with his yoyo but got himself tied again, but usually, DJ would come to untie him all the time.
Harold was training with his nunchucks to make himself not hit himself on the jewels.
Geoff Bridgette and Katie were on the hot tube, enjoying a victory relaxation.
Courtney came with her swimsuit to use the hot tube but decided to say something first.
"Alright Bass, I cannot express how proud I am of everyone, but now I would be glad to annunciate the MVPs of this challenge." Courtney found it was the right time to make the team have their morale high.
"Hands down, Harold, Duncan, and Eva" Ezekiel got up as he pointed at the trio of the match, who seemed to be the ones who created the final scene of the episode.
Courtney stopped as she was going to say, but then nodded her head in agreement.
"I was going to include you, but Harold indeed showed his value on this challenge. You got us by surprise with dancing around the rubber balls."Courtney had to give at the blue shirt nerd, who smiled proudly at himself.
Harold was smirking until he received a strong slap on his back. By the delinquent himself.
"Ouch," Harold said loudly as the delinquent narrowed his eyes.
"Don't start getting cocky, just because you are an MVP of one challenge, doesn't mean that you will always be safe, every challenge is unpredictable. So not even me and Eva are going to be smugging because we won just one challenge." Duncan pointed out as he showed the intimidation at Harold who remained with his mouth shut. But then Duncan smirked. "That said, awesome dude. You know how to dodge."
Harold smiled as he gave a high-five to Duncan.
Ezekiel smiled from seeing something he never thought was possible. In the first season, Harold and Duncan would have become nemeses, but seeing them interact like comrades, really made him realize that maybe, the Killer Bass were the best team, but nobody realized their value.
Since it was the time for them to eat... He cannot wait to play dodgeball with his friends again.
As the group was leaving the cave one by one. Tyler was about to leave happily until he felt a strong grip on his shoulder. Making him yelp... And when he turned himself to the person who was holding him. He became palled from seeing the face of a demon in a woman's body.
"Hello Tyler, I want to have a nice conversation with you," Eva said as she tightened her grip, and Tyler didn't even have time to register what happened.
It was the longest 10 minutes of pain he had on his entire life.
(Main Lodge)
Ezekiel gulped hard his meal, The Chef indeed did make a strong military food, and surprisingly, it even had a sugar cube for the drink they were going to have.
So Ezekiel noticed that all his team members were having difficulty eating lunch, but one was simply scribing a piece of paper. The cowboy hat Geoff was doing a doodle.
Ezekiel glanced and noticed he was doing a dog, which was simply sketch and lines.
"Hey dude, that's not bad."Ezekiel smiled as Geoff seemed bored and a bit disappointed with his drawing.
"Hmm, it's not that great man," Geoff commented as Ezekiel approached him.
"No, it's good, man." Ezekiel then went to place his finger on the sketch to point all. "Maybe though, add some shading around the shadows to meet the neck. Make sure it's obvious where the light source is coming from. It'll help give the drawing more volume and depth."
Geoff just shrugged and decided to follow the advice by correcting what Ezekiel pointed out. And the next time raised his paper sheet.
A dark realist wolf was shown, which made the party boy happy and proud of his work.
"Woaaah, that's awesome."Geoff smiled as he could see the progress he had made. He tapped the back of the hat by who was still eating the food nearby him. "You are a great teacher Zeke"
"Nah, just gave some points into how to make art better. It's always helpful when artists help each other by giving tips and helping the others to progress." Ezekiel dismissed the idea of teaching since a bad memory came to his mind about his parents in his former life and the aunty who was deceased from a brutal incident in the public school.
Geoff saw his reaction and decided to drop the subject. But he couldn't help but be curious, but it wasn't his place to ask.
"So what do you plan to do later dude?" Geoff asked as Ezekiel smiled with one idea in mind.
"Well, Chris told me that the crew of interns is going to dismantle the dodgeball field tomorrow or after tomorrow, so I want to ask if you and the guys want to have a match again. No fight, no risk, just as the guys having a friendly match of dodgeball." Ezekiel pointed out as Geoff tipped his chin in thought. And with a smile on his face, he nodded his head.
"Alright, count me in. It will be awesome if we play some sport and then relax on the hot tube tonight."Geoff felt excited, as he could take time to enjoy a time with the boys. "So all of us the boys?"
"Yep, I asked the girls if they were interested. But Eva said that she would be focusing on doing the workout, so she would say maybe next time. Courtney is still recovering her leg, and Bridgette and Katie politely refused to play." Ezekiel explained as he wanted to be fair with his teammates. "Harold, Duncan, Tyler, and DJ said they have nothing better to do tonight, so they accepted."
"So we have a guys' night?" Geoff asked excitedly.
"GUYS' NIGHT OHHHHHHHHHHHH" Ezekiel said loudly as he raised his right arm and waved.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Geoff did the same thing as the duo seemed excited about the night.
"CAN YOU BOTH SHUT UP?" An irate voice was enough to interrupt the duo who were happy. And at the time they turned their backs, they saw one angry Heather annoyed by both of them.
"Well, let's take our stuff and enjoy the day before the guys' night." Ezekiel said as he got up which Geoff immediately did the same
"GUYS' NIGHT OHHHHHHHHHH" This time Geoff liked the way it sounded and started doing it, which was followed by Ezekiel and both left the main lodge.
After closing the door, there was a bowl of food launched at the door.
At the other table, the group of Screaming Gophers were in silence when they decided to plan their next elimination.
"Ugh, I can't believe it, we got demolished by those fish heads." Heather snarled as she still felt her face sore from receiving the first shot from them.
"Well, that's what happens when you provoke them, they seemed to be wanting to focus their hatred on you." Leshawna smiled, as she could see Heather fuming, so she decided to make it even more fun. "Fake tits"
Gwen would have laughed if she wasn't that tired and her face still sleeping on the table.
Trent raised her head and placed it into a pillow to make her more comfortable by sleeping on the table.
Beth and Lindsay gasped as the provocation made by the black girl, and Heather... She was with skulls in her eyes. Leshawna and that stupid ugly nerd are on her list of victims, they are going to pay for this humiliation.
Heather gritted her teeth and remained quiet.
"Anyway the fake tits got it right, we got demolished without mercy, so now we must choose who is going to leave tonight."Leshawna smiled as she could see the prick girl angry, so she decided to point out the situation they were in.
The group was in silence until a voice could be heard from the blasting door.
"I QUIT," A shout was strong enough to make all the Gophers stare at what would be the remaining of Justin who had his entire face covered in bandages."That's the second time my beautiful face was compromised from this chaotic show. I cannot take it anymore."
Heather and Leshawna looked at each other. Both girls rolled their eyes.
"Aww man," Owen said as he lamented eating the bad military food from Chef. "Are you sure that you want that? You still look fine."
Justin's eyes twitched as he shed some tears.
"I cannot risk it, Owen, this place is crazy. And I miss my beauty spa. So I want everyone voting out for me to leave this place. And I mean it." Justin commented as he sat with them. "I cannot eat more of this junk, and I think I have a better place for me at the moment I get out from this show."
The Screaming Gophers were quiet, but Heather was satisfied that she wouldn't have to deal with the stupid drama from the boy model. It was time to let him go.
At the time Geoff and Ezekiel went inside the cabin, Harold was writing some kind of paper, when suddenly he jumped startled.
"OI, don't scare me like that," Harold said as he tried to hide his paper, which Geoff looked curious about.
"What are you doing with this paper?" Geoff asked curious as he tried to see. But Harold gave a step back to avoid being seen.
"Ah, it's nothing too much, just... Math homework, yeah, I have been trying to make my mind shar..." Harold tried to find an excuse but it was interrupted.
"Harold, we know that you write poetry," Ezekiel said loudly which made Harold glare.
"It's a Haiku." Harold corrected, but from seeing the smile from his friend, he noticed he had been played. " Oh, I mean..."
"Dude, it's fine." Ezekiel raised both his hands, as he nodded to Geoff. "Everyone here knows you do that."
Harold palled from hearing what Ezekiel had said, but then Duncan got inside with Tyler who seemed to be covered with bruises and a black eye.
"Dude, what the hell happened to you?"Harold asked as he found a good excuse to avoid being caught with his hand on the proverb cookie jar.
"Eva did it," Duncan said laughing. He pointed out as the jock winced from pain. "She beat the crap of him when they were alone after the meeting."
The whole group of boys snickered while Tyler rolled his eyes.
"Not cool, guys," Tyler commented as he huffed himself with his arms crossed.
"So what was about you writing poetry?" Duncan said as Harold flinched as he thought he was free from that.
"It's a haiku." Ezekiel corrected. "A Japanese style of poetry, which Harold has actual talent for it. So what was it about?"
"Ah, nothing to worry about. Just the philosophy of life and living on this ..."
"Is it about girls?" Duncan asked which made Harold facepalm himself, from being unable to hide that. Which made the delinquent laugh. "Oh come on dude, poetry? Seriously?"
Harold was about to defend himself, but then he was interrupted by DJ.
"Momma told me my dad was a great romantic guy, who managed to win her heart by doing amazing poetry related to Jamaica and her cooking. She said she loves to recite when she misses my dad, God Bless his soul." DJ commented which made the group stare at him, but suddenly they went with their heads down to pray for respect.
"Amen," Harold said as he raised his head. "Alright, it's about a girl. But please don't ask w..."
"Leshawna." Ezekiel interrupted Harold who turned his head angrily and in disbelief.
"STOP DOING THAT, AND HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?"Harold shouted both in anger and also in panic, for everyone to be able to read him like a book.
"Hmmm... Nope." Ezekiel places his hand on his chin to think about it but then decides to reply sarcastically which makes the nerd look dejected. "Harold, my friend, my pal. I wrote a lot of stories, some chapters were even romances... I know that you have been trying to take attention from Leshawna since day one."
"Really?" Duncan said as he looked amused. "Leshawna and him? That's gonna be funny."
Harold was about to get angry but Ezekiel called his attention.
"Ignore him, what you need to do dude is to not try to hide from us, we are going to notice, and we respect your decision to have feelings for her," Ezekiel said as he looked at Geoff. "Isn't that right?"
"Yeah dude, you can trust us." Geoff smiled as DJ nodded his head.
"Also you aren't the only one who has crushes around this camp. Isn't that right Tyler?" Ezekiel then decided to place the jock in the fire who was surprised by that statement.
"Hey hey, what you mean?" Tyler's sweat from the hat boy placed him on the radar of the others.
"He is talking about you having fallen for the blonde dumb from Gophers." Duncan understood who Ezekiel was referring to, which made Tyler stutter.
"No, I mean maybe... What if so?" Tyler tried to deny but then he couldn't help but confront his teammates.
"Dude, that's okay. We are not judging, heck, I think you got a great choice for a girl." Ezekiel explained as he walked towards Tyler. "Dude, she is into you, at the moment you appeared after Duncan and I killed the cockroach, she has been in love at first sight."
"Lucky bastard." Commented Duncan as he corrected himself. "Okay, we got two love birds on the team, so what if they try to sabotage us?"
The group was in silence until Ezekiel just shrugged.
"Who cares?" The homeschooled boy replied to the delinquent. "If they try to sabotage because of this crush, you can just eliminate the ones who made a mistake, it wouldn't be a big deal. What is what worst kind of possibility is sabotage because of jealousy."
Ezekiel pointed out which made Duncan raise his eyebrows.
"Elaborate" Duncan commanded as Ezekiel walked towards Harold and Tyler.
"I believe that stupid couples always happen when they are in love. But the most dangerous toxic kind of stupid people were the ones who sabotage wrongly because of jealousy. Like, rigging the votes, faking an injury, or even already hurting their teammates because of that." Ezekiel pointed as he already saw some shows, heck he even pointed out how Harold was stupid because of jealousy, and how it bitten his ass... "I think the best thing we can do for not to make these fools have jealousy of us... Is that if we form a pact."
Duncan looked confused but then he just shrugged, while Harold looked at Ezekiel in disbelief.
"What kind of pact?" Harold had to ask since pacts between men usually would be extreme.
"You already said the girls you have a crush on and possibly in love. Meaning that you can trust me, I will not meddle or try to make your relationship fail. I will support you in case it works. And if fails, I believe you will have a better chance with another girl in the future." Ezekiel said as he could see Harold and Tyler's eyes sparkle, and their smiles became very natural.
"Would you do that to us, dude?" Harold asked as he couldn't believe that a friend was glad to give his support.
"Sure, is there anyone here who wants to confess your crush? Geoff? Duncan?" Ezekiel asked which made both the delinquent and the hat boy look at each other.
"Pass," Duncan said but he gotta give the hand to the hat boy. "But when I find someone you are going to be the first person to know."
"I will hold yourself that." Ezekiel smiled, while Geoff decided to be honest with his friend.
"Well, you know Bridgette?" Geoff asked which made the whole group of boys nod their heads to him. "I think I'm starting to like her."
DJ, Ezekiel, Harold, and Tyler were happy.
"Oh, that's awesome dude. I know that you are going to be a great couple together." DJ said and Ezekiel nodded his head to them.
"Yeah, but remember that she is also a person, and you must try to not make her jealous of you. Remember what I said." Ezekiel had to point out. One scene from World Tour made Geoff and Bridgette's relationship become an obstacle, from all the jealousy she had for him, and then Alejandro came to play a master romantic manipulator.
Geoff nodded his head, and then Duncan decided to ask the young boy.
"And what about you Zeke? Don't you have someone you want to jump to?" Duncan smirked as the farm boy paused.
Ezekiel remained quiet, and thought for a few seconds... but then he just shrugged.
"Nah, not really," Ezekiel replied which made the whole group of boys stare at him surprised.
"What? Seriously?" Geoff asked surprised, while every single boy looked at him in disbelief.
"I mean, sure, every girl here is unique, but I wouldn't do that to you guys if you like them. And also I don't know every single one of them truly, so I wouldn't say I'm in love if I haven't even had a relationship in my life before." Ezekiel was honest, he never had a girlfriend in his life, not even an online one in his past life.
"Pff, come on Zeke, we know that you and the farm girl were meant to be with each other," Duncan said it, but suddenly he regretted it as he could see Ezekiel pausing, and then narrowing his eyes at Duncan, as he heard the most stupid thing he ever heard on his life.
"Did you mean that just because Me and Beth are ugly that means we are meant to be with each other?" Ezekiel said quietly, but from the tone of his voice, all the group of boys stared at Duncan who just said a stupid thing.
"No, no. I didn't mean that, I said since you both are farmers..." And Duncan somehow made it even worse.
"WOW, JUST WOW," Ezekiel said as he raised his arms wide open. "So just because we are farmers, we should be together, wow Duncan, just wow."
"OH OH WOA WHOA WHOA WHOA." Geoff, DJ, Tyler, and even Harold gave a step back as they raised both their hands and gave some space.
"Dude, that's messed up," Geoff commented, as Duncan realized that he said some stupid stuff.
"Okay, okay, my bad. Sorry, it went wrong." Duncan said as he felt like a jerk, which the group looked at each other, Ezekiel gave a deep sigh.
"Duncan, you are my friend. But please, just because I'm ugly, doesn't mean that I don't want to have a hot or cute girlfriend, and just because Beth is ugly as well, doesn't mean that she wouldn't end up with a supermodel. You never know how love works. It's unpredictable, and stereotypes aren't something that shouldn't come from you. Not you, like we did on the first day." Ezekiel explained as he made Duncan remember how the girls always looked at Justin who was the hottest guy, but Lindsay would go after Tyler who was love at first sight.
"Okay, I will try to not mess up like this again," Duncan said as Ezekiel gave his hand for a handshake. "So Zeke, what would be your type of girl?"
"Well, I don't know much... But my pa always taught me to be kind, protective, and strong for a girl I would end up with, while he sounded sexist, he meant it with his heart that we should treat our loved ones like a queen. So I think for me... I would love someone who would support me, help me in all my struggles, be free with me with all my creativity, and be acceptive of what adventures life would give to me as we have been on this crazy show." Ezekiel commented, that he knows for sure that his speech would be on the television. So he decided to be honest. "I don't know if could be an Olympic athlete, a girl in tune with nature, the possibilities are endless. And when this show is over... There would always be the next one in the future. So maybe who knows, I would fall in love off-screen. But that's how love it is... it's unpredictable, and I'm excited to see how crazy it would become in my life."
The boys who listened to Ezekiel explain what he thinks about what a good girl would be... were quiet, as they learned a lot from a boy who had never been in a relationship before. What the kid wanted was someone to become indeed his life partner, whenever challenges would be.
And that was indeed a crazy thing to learn...
"Well, the talk was good. But there is a dodgeball game we have to enjoy. LET'S GO BOYS. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Geoff noticed that the talk was into something deep, so he wanted to help everyone from the group be fine again. And with that in mind, a good game of dodgeball would be awesome to play with.
"YEAH. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" All the boys from the Killer Bass decided to follow Geoff who was shouting an iconic should Ezekiel taught him by accident, and it seemed that it was going to stick, as a good way for the group of Killer Bass to demonstrate their excitement from now on.
(Campfire)
For the second time, the Screaming Gophers were at the Elimination Ceremony. In Chri's hand was a plate with 9 marshmallows. On that night, the total number of members of campers would become 19 and the Gophers would lose another member of their team.
"Campers, you've already placed your votes and made your decision," Chris told all the Screaming Gophers who were in front of him. "One of you will be going home. And you can't come back. Ever. When you hear me call out your name, come pick up a marshmallow."
All the Screaming Gophers stared at each other, as if the suspense would become part of the show, but from their looks, they all kept staring at the boy who was still using an ice sack to place on his face.
"Owen, Gwen, Cody, Trent." The four mentioned campers smiled as they all went to get their marshmallow. "Heather, Beth, Leshawna, Izzy."
And more and more campers went to have their sweat marshmallow. Leaving only two of them, Lindsay and Justin who were waiting for the last marshmallow.
Lindsay felt her heartbeats rising, as she thought something was wrong. She thought everyone was supposed to vote for Justin who wanted so much to quit the show, but suddenly she felt her hand being held tight.
"He is creating suspense, it's me, relax," Justin said with his casual smile, even if was a bit ugly from all the ball hits he received on the face.
Lindsay felt inside of herself a huge relief. As she was looking at Chris who was going to make the final decision.
"The final marshmallow goes to..." Lindsay tried to remain calm, while Justin tried to remain strong until the final voice came to say who was the last camper. "Lindsay."
Lindsay got up and gave a quick hug on Justin who smiled in relief.
"Well Justin, it seems your time has come, sadly the sugar eye wasn't enough to save you this time," Chris commented as the model who was on the verge of freaking out the whole morning, finally found peace in himself.
"It's fine Chris, I can finally take care of my beautiful face again. And relax a bit more. I deserve a break from all this craziness." Justin even as his face was purple from the impacts, his white smile still sparkled, as he showed an inner beauty, which made the animals pause and stare at him in admiration and love. "Wow, I never thought I had this in me. Anyway, time to go."
"Well said it Justin, now for the Boat of Losers, Justin," Chris said as the beautiful boy, left the island once and for all, and with that, Chris sighed. "Well, there goes the sugar candy, but it was a good episode nonetheless, and I still get paid. BONUS."
(Court)
"Oh come on, get hit already," Duncan said as he smirked with a powerful throw he did to the nerd who jumped away from the ball.
"Nice try." Harold provoked, as he felt the adrenaline rush. Using the martial pose of the kung fu movie star, he used the thumb on his nose and made a kung fu pose. "Come on, come on."
It was a rivalry between the boys. The teams were set, Duncan, Ezekiel, and DJ, against Tyler, Geoff, and Harold.
No prize, no punishment. Just fun and a good rivalry on the guys' night.
As the friendship of Killer Bass would get even stronger.
