Chapter 4: Snipers on Standby
Undisclosed Location
There were three men hiding in some red bushes. Next to their bodies were some sniper rifles with tranquilizer darts.
One of the men yawned. "This is soooo boring. I really need to use the bathroom-"
"Goddammit Luis. None of us can use the bathroom because we have to stay here no matter what. The last thing we want is for Chris to get mad at us."
"Fine.. Hey Lance, how much are we getting paid for this?" asked Luis.
"Each of us is getting paid twenty-five thousand dollars," explained Lance. "Now shut the fuck up and stay alert. You too Max, stay alert."
Max sighed. "Please don't remind me to stay alert for the millionth time. I know what to do."
Dock of Shame
"Alright.. Next up is Hope, aka 'Charmcaster' from the Classic Ben 10 universe!" said Chris.
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Charmcaster to appear.
Charmcaster was wearing her usual pink clothing, purple pants, and magical pouch. She had pink eyes, gray hair, and red lips. "What is this sorcery?! Where am I?"
"You're at a red island!" said Chris.
Charmcaster looked at the Multiversal Staff that Chris was holding. "That staff.. I can feel so much energy and power flowing through the staff. I must have that staff for myself. Hand it over to me," she commanded.
"I'm not giving you the Multiversal Staff," said Chris with a smile. "It belongs to me!"
Charmcaster frowned. She tried to grab it from Chris.
But Chris reacted by pulling the Multiversal Staff away from her. "Not so fast! I can't give you the staff, because if I do, it'll destroy everything in the multiverse! The Multiversal Staff only works for me," he explained with a nervous smile.
"That seems like bullshit," whispered Ellie into Misty's ear.
"Is that so?" questioned Charmcaster as she looked directly into Chris' eyes.
"Yup! But you can have this instead," said Chris. He gave Charmcaster a bracelet to put on.
Mhm. Charmcaster was quiet for a moment. "What's so special about this bracelet?"
"It's a voice-translating bracelet."
"But I can understand what you're saying," said Charmcaster with a confused face. "Why would I need a voice translating bracelet?"
"Because you're required to wear one. Or else you'll be disqualified from the competition.. And you'll have a zero percent chance of returning to your universe!" explained Chris.
"Fine," she grumbled. Charmcaster obeyed his instructions and placed the bracelet on her wrist.
"Great," said Chris with an evil smile. "Now go join the others over there!" He pointed to where everyone else was standing.
Charmcaster didn't say anything as she walked over to join the others. Instead, she took out a small pink pendant from her pocket. She opened the pendant. Inside was a small photo of Charmcaster as a child, standing next to her father. She quickly put the pendant back in her pocket.
"Looks like grandma showed up to the party!" said Guy.
"Oh, shut up," grumbled Charmcaster. "I'm not a grandma."
"Really? But you have gray hair. I thought you were a grandma."
Charmcaster scoffed at his remark. "I'm a teenager."
"Oh my, I'm terribly sorry," said Guy. "I really thought you were a grandma-"
Charmcaster's hands glowed pink. "If you call me a grandma one more time, I will use my powers to make you suffer."
"Oh god! I'm sorry! The words just slipped out of my mouth again. I'll keep my mouth shut around you," promised Guy.
"I like that sound of that," said Charmcaster as her hands stopped glowing.
"Alrighty.. Next up is John Economos from the Peacemaker universe!" said Chris.
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused John to appear.
John was wearing his usual casual clothing and glasses. "Ah fuck. What the fuck is this shit!?" he asked.
"I brought you here to compete in Total Drama!" said Chris with a grin.
"Are you fucking kidding me? I finished fighting alien butterflies with Peacemaker. And then I'm somehow brought to this fucking red island for some Total Drama shit," said John with an annoyed look on his face.
"Exactly!" said Chris. He almost bursted out into an evil laugh. "Put on this bracelet and go join the others!"
"Fuck.." said John as he placed the bracelet on his wrist. He went to join the others.
"You know.. I've seen a few bloodthirsty butterflies infected by fungi from my universe. The butterflies usually attack humans. And ya, it's really creepy. Luckily, I never engaged with bloodthirsty butterflies," explained Ellie.
"You're from another universe?" asked John.
"Yup, we all are," said Ellie.
"Fuck.. Fuck fuck fuck! This fucking sucks!" said John. He clenched his fists.
"By the way, why is your beard dyed?" asked Ellie with a confused look on her face.
John sighed.
"I'm confused," said Misty. "Are you guys talking about Butterfree?"
"What the fuck is a Butterfree?" asked John.
"It's a bug-type Pokémon that can fly," explained Misty. "It can use sleeping powder and stun powder attacks on humans and other Pokémon. And bug-type Pokémon are disgusting," she quietly said to herself as her body shivered.
"I've never seen a fucking Butterfree in my entire life," said John.
"Oh-" replied Misty as she scratched her orange hair.
Vanellope was still upset about her destroyed racing kart. So she used her sleeve to wipe off some more tears from her face. "There's candy butterflies that fly around the racetrack in my universe.."
Jason sighed. "For fuck's sake, it feels like you guys are having a fucking therapy session on butterflies."
"Anyone have some tape?" asked Guy.
"What for?" asked Kate.
Guy pointed at Jason. "I would love to put some tape on his fucking mouth! That would get him to shut the fuck up!"
Ellie and Kate giggled.
"That would be so awesome!" said Ellie.
Guy's idea even made Swiper smile too.
"A therapy session is not a bad idea actually. I definitely need to speak with a therapist because I can't get the thought of alien butterflies crawling inside human mouths out of my mind. It's the creepiest shit I've ever seen in my entire fucking life," vented John.
Swiper's facial expression quickly changed from happy to horrified.
"TMI.." said Chris with a grossed out look on his face. "Anyways.. next up is Darby from the No Exit universe!"
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Darby to appear.
Darby had long hair and tired eyes. She was wearing an artichoke green-colored sweater and dark blue jeans. There was a thin necklace around her neck too. "What's the meaning of this?!"
"I brought you here to compete in a multiversal season of Total Drama!" said Chris in an energetic voice.
Darby took a few steps backward. Suddenly, she turned around and ran. Darby sprinted as fast as she could to get away from the Dock of Shame.
"We got a runner Chef! Bring her back here!" instructed Chris.
Chef nodded. He began to run after Darby.
"Wow, she's fast," said Swiper.
Beach
Darby ran across the red sand at the beach. She was trying to find a way to escape the red island.
But Chef was not too far behind her. Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! Darby could hear Chef's squeaky sergeant boots getting louder.
"Please let me go! I don't want to be here!" cried out Darby. She continued to run as fast as she could.
"I ain't letting you escape!" yelled Chef. He was a few feet behind Darby. All of a sudden, Chef used all his strength to leap and tackle Darby. "GOTCHA!"
"Fuck.." groaned Darby. There was a lot of red sand on her face. She used her hand to wipe off the sand.
"Hehehe! Nobody can ever get away from me!" There was a proud look on Chef's face. He placed a bracelet on Darby's wrist. Then, he picked her up from the ground and carried her back to the Dock of Shame on his shoulder.
"I hate you," said Darby.
Dock of Shame
Thud! Chef let go of Darby, which caused her to fall down.
"Ow! You're fucking rude," said Darby. She glared at Chef.
"I'll help you get up," said Ellie. She reached for Darby's hand and pulled her up from the ground.
"Thanks," said Darby. "What's your name?"
"I'm Ellie Williams."
"That's a lovely name," replied Darby.
Ellie smiled.
"Alrighty.. Next up is Damian Anderson from the Creed III universe!" said Chris.
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Damian to appear.
Damian wasn't wearing a t-shirt. His muscular arms and six-pack abs were visible to everyone. The only thing Damian was wearing were black sunglasses, black sweatpants, black sneakers, and a shiny golden chain on his neck. He was listening to hip-hop music with his earbuds.
Many of the women stared at Damian's athletic body.
Charmcaster's eyes narrowed. "He's unquestionably strong. And he certainly seems like a tough competitor," she quietly said to herself.
"Welcome to Total Drama!" said Chris.
Damian completely ignored Chris because his eyes were closed and he was listening to music. He swayed his body to the rhythm of the hip-hip song. "Get that, get that, get that, get that. Today is a good day, we getting that money, that money, that money. We fight, we hustle, we working harder than them suckers. Worldwide suckers ain't the shit because they're lazy motherfuckers. Be careful, watch out, be careful, watch out, be careful, watch out. Many of these suckers will try to assassinate you in the darkness. Keep the crew close, keep the fam close, keep the fans close. Life's about that control, money, power. Build and run an empire, show em' who's the king. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Get the royal guards to slice and dice up the assassins and traitors with a guillotine in the castle garden. Slice and dice em' all up like the motherfucking worldwide chefs slicing and dicing broccoli and tomatoes in the kitchen. Live that life, live that life, live that life, live that life! Live that life like a motherfucking VeggieTales adventure. Live that life, everyday! Live that life, everyday! Live that life, everyday! Live life to the fullest with yo woman! Boom, bam, boom, bam. Bang her hard as fuck like a spaceship banging and crashing against asteroids in outer space-" Damian continued to mumble the lyrics of the hip-hop song.
Chris lost his patience. "DAMIAN! LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING!"
Damian opened his eyes and saw Chris yelling in front of him. But he couldn't hear what Chris was saying so he took off his earbuds. "What the fuck you want?"
"I want you to pay attention to me!" said Chris.
"Uhuh.." Damian looked around and realized he wasn't in Los Angeles. He grabbed Chris' shirt. "Ayo, what the fuck is going on lil homie?"
"I brought you here to compete in a season of Total Drama. You'll be competing against others!" explained Chris.
"Uhuh.. Is there some sort of fucking money prize for this Total Drama shit?"
"Yes there is!" said Chris with a grin. "The winner of Total Drama will receive a grand prize of ONE MILLION DOLLARS!"
Damian thought about it for a moment. "Aight lil homie, I'm in. Where do I sign up for this Total Drama shit?"
"You're already signed up!" laughed Chris. "Put on this bracelet and go join the others over there."
"Aight," said Damian. He walked over to join the others.
"What do you do for a living?" asked Charmcaster.
"I'm a professional boxer. I beat the shit out of weak ass fools for a living," explained Damian.
Charmcaster smiled. "I see, that sounds very enjoyable."
"Fo sure!" said Damian. There was a cunning look in his dark eyes.
Guy scoffed at Damian. "My job is cooler than yours."
Damian raised his eyebrow. "Uhuh.. So what's your job lil homie?"
"I used to be a bank teller, but then I quit my job and saved Free City. Now I'm a motherfucking action hero!"
"Ooooooooo!" Damian began to laugh. "Hahahahahahahaha!" He continued to laugh, but more loudly. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Hahaha? What's so funny?" asked Guy.
"It's all straight up cap!" laughed Damian. "You're wearing a goofy ass blue shirt and khaki pants. And you're speaking to me like you're the shit. But you ain't the shit lil homie. You're just some goofy ass nerd that works at a bank!"
"That's not true! I don't work at the bank anymore!" insisted Guy.
Pffffftttt. "You're just making up lies about your life to sound cool, Guy," explained Jason. "I hate to break it you, but, you're fucking irrelevant."
Guy rolled his eyes.
"Shut the fuck up dickhead," said Kate. She flicked another middle finger in front of Jason's face.
Chris grinned. "Anyways.. Next up is Nya from the Ninjago universe!"
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Nya to appear.
Chris quickly slapped the bracelet on Nya's wrist.
"Huh? Who are you? What did you put on my wrist? Where am I?" asked Nya. She was wearing her black ninja uniform and armored shoulderpads.
"My name is Chris McLean. I put a voice translating bracelet on your wrist. And this is.. Total Drama!"
"Total Drama?" There was a puzzled look on Nya's face.
"Yep! It's the ULTIMATE reality competition on the planet!" said Chris.
"Uhh.. It feels like you're copying this idea from Chen's Tournament of Elements."
"Copying? I would never do that, because I would get sued. Chen probably copied me!" laughed Chris.
Nya raised her eyebrow. "Are you going to try to steal my powers?"
"Nope! I don't care about your powers. The only thing I care about is the ratings for Total Drama."
"Sooo.. What's the catch?" asked Nya.
Chris smiled. "You'll be stuck in this universe FOREVER, unless you win Total Drama!"
"That's not very slay of you Chris," said Ji-Woon with an angry face.
Nya gasped. "NOOOOOOOO!" GRRRRRRRRRRRRR! "Why is this happening to me?! I need to be reunited with my beloved, Jay.." She sighed.
"If you win Total Drama, you'll be reunited with Jay!" explained Chris.
GRRRRRRR! Nya's face boiled in anger. Hmph! "Fine," said Nya in a bitter tone. She walked over to join the others.
"Hey, my name is Misty! So you're some sort of ninja I'm guessing?"
"Yep, I'm a ninja. I'm also an Elemental Master."
"Ooooooo! That sounds cool!" said Misty. "So what can you do as an Elemental Master?"
Nya smiled. "I can control water."
"That's pretty fucking cool," said Ellie. "I know a water pun by the way. What did the human say to the glass of water?"
Nya raised her eyebrow.
"It's refreshing to see you!" said Ellie with a goofy smile on her face.
"Bahahaha!" laughed Mistry. "That's a cute pun!"
"That's lame," mumbled Nya. She decided to not say anything else for now to Ellie and Misty. There was a sulky look in Nya's black eyes.
"Alrighty.. Next up is Nick Wilde from the Zootopia universe!" said Chris.
Dark blue energy released from the Multiversal Staff, which caused Nick to appear.
"Why does he kind of look like me!?" gasped Swiper.
"Oh my! Nick looks like a very charming fox. I love his dazzling green eyes," said Loba. She was also intrigued by Nick's clothing.
"Howdy Nick! Welcome to Total Drama!" said Chris. He slapped a bracelet on Nick's furry arm.
"Oh my. This isn't Zootopia-" said Nick. He was left speechless for a moment as he observed everyone that was standing around him. "What are you guys? Your faces and bodies look absolutely horrible and weird. It makes me want to throw up. And why do you guys barely have any fur on your skin!? That makes no sense, at all!"
"It's because we're fucking humans!" said Guy. "Except for the orange fox wearing the blue bandana and the fat panda-"
"Just call me Po," blurted out Po. "And by the way, I'm not fat." Hehe. "Well, I'm a little fat, but it's not like I'm fat, fat." Then suddenly, Po burped out some more sugary pieces of Vanellope's racing kart.
"This is one of the worst days of my life. This is unbelievable..." whined Vanellope.
"Hu..mans" murmured Nick. "I've never heard of that word before, until now. It's such an odd word."
"No, not really. It's a pretty fucking normal word to me," said Guy.
"I see," said Nick. "Well, it was pleasant to meet you all, but I really have to get back to Zootopia. I'm on assigned duty today at the ZPD. I would appreciate it from the bottom of my heart if someone could point me the way back home to Zootopia-"
"Not so fast buddy! You're not going anywhere!" said Chris.
"Ah, c'mon!" said Nick. "Why not?"
"It's because you have to win Total Drama, if you want to return to your universe," explained Chris.
"Ohhh.. I'm assuming this is some sort of gameshow then?"
Chris nodded.
"Okay, but I'm on a tight schedule today. I really have to get back to the ZPD. This Total Drama gameshow of yours better be quick," said Nick.
An evil grin appeared on Chris' face.
All of a sudden, a commercial break appeared...
