Authors Note: Well it has been such chaotic time for this site, since I have been in a flow into writing most of my Helluva Boss fanfics because the situation in relation of my other fanfics are in a slow pace. Why am I Syrus has been the lowest of them all since I'm doing a background construction while I'm preparing myself for the actual duel, so please have some patience about it.
Tears of a new Start it's on Hiatus, since I don't have prediction when I can get out from my writer's block, and the motivation I usually had over that fanfic is not the same flame I had before, so writing the same quantity I have around my other fanfics, it has been kinda way to too difficult to write the next chapter. So please be patient.
Now I have to tell you that I usually want to focus in fanfics of 3k to 5k because I have also to manager my college time and the exams of the semester is going to happen in a few weeks so it's going to be tough.
And now for the reviews answers:
Guest: Sorry for you not enjoy the plans I have over Trent, but it seems that you never understood the reason of why I wrote this chapter before, and it's difficult to take your critic seriously since you are just using a guest user, which doesn't even have a custom guest nickname for me to identify you, so I don't know that you are reading this fanfic seriously or not, so I wish you good luck into trying to find another fanfic you find interesting. Have fun around Fanfiction and enjoy the fanfics.
Wolfang21:Thanks for enjoying the cover art, and trust me, I have future plans for everyone, and I hope the next chapter will surprises you, but now have fun reading this one, and thank once again for enjoying the last chapter.
djinn : I think you will like to see this chapter, have fun dude. XD
KenWil2001 : Probably she did, I don't know what you are refearing too, but yes she did.
Cinderfall20412 :Thanks for enjoying this chapter, and trust me, I have plans for Action and World Tour, so until to get on there it would take a long time, so enjoy your time reading this new chapter and have fun XD
MatiasND:I'm glad you caught the reference, thanks for enjoying the chapter, angry letters from animalists? I will give probs on whoever would have courage to send a letter or say that to Eva's face because what happened to the bear would be easily in comparison on what Eva would do to the person who would try to argue with her. LOL, it's Eva, and she doesn't give a damn, she would beat the ass of the person who annoys her.
Mr. E Guest : To be honest Jaws was one of my father's favorite shark movies, and it's a classic, and I'm not into making other musics segments around this fanfic, I think only the cartoon songs would be allowed here. So anyway, I'm glad you liked it. So enjoy this new chapter. XD
The entire forest was in silence, and the animals were trembling, not because of the cold weather happening across the forest of Canada… But the animals, especially the male ones trembled in fear of a name that most animals would run away in case to anger such a monster… Eva…
Mother Nature to reply any comment after the druid parents who just saw one scene of the pay-per-view that would make them horrified and worried about another bear who would make Eva mad…
The father slowly placed both his hands on his crotch, to protect the definition of what makes him a male… While the mother looked disgusted at how Eva was so casual about eating a 'jerky' made of one specific part of the bear… Still, she had to confess that she was horrified and impressed at the same time.
"I'm done with my shower, did I miss much?" Then like a gentle voice, Dawn came up wearing her pajamas, which made both parents surprised by her sudden voice, and staring at the television. Dawn could see Eva wearing a fur coat. "Oh my, is that what I think it is?"
"It's not Molotov's, she said it came with the trailer." The father said quickly as he could see Dawn's innocence towards such an event would traumatize her… so he decided to sugarcoat a little, and tell the lie like Eva did.
"Oh… I'm so glad, I was afraid for Molotov, Eva really scared him, and I was about to get mad at her." Dawn said as she smiled happy to know that she was wrong.
The mother looked at the father who was still holding his little friend, and the mother coughed on her fist, which made the druid realize and disguise his action by taking a newspaper with him.
"Well, now the group is going to start to vote a person off… Probably Bridgette is going to be eliminated." The mother commented as Dawn nodded sadly, possibly due to the fact slowly the Killer Bass were slowly losing so many members, that sooner or later there wouldn't be a group anymore.
But that's how the show goes.
Jane and Sky were with their eyes wide open, for the whole fact of many important scenes happening around the episode, Eva's badass moments know no bounds, as she broke the cast with her strength, defeated a saskwatchanakwa and made shoes and hat with it? And then came with to reunite with the girls by wearing a bear coat and eating a jerky made of a bear penis?
The challenges were everything they wouldn't believe with their own eyes, from turtles that would bite your ass, to even spa treatment with poison Ivy… The girls stared at each other thinking Izzy was crazy but Eva's confession made them realize something, Izzy seemed to be up to something and they had no idea…
And then to the final challenge, Eva won fairly and squarely the trailer, and the girls couldn't be happier for her, a titan who returned to show how strong she was, it didn't kill her it made her even stronger.
Eva came to stay, and she said she had a list, and from seeing how Trent was afraid and the bear now whimpering from the aftermath? Yeah, many shocking scenes happened. But now one thing that would make the girls be on the edge of their seats.
"Okay, I'm curious about what Bridgette will say before she leaves," Jane commented as Sky was drinking her water bottle, since the time they were watching the pay-per-view, they were also doing a workout to pass the time, they enjoyed a good break as the girls could see the campers reunited for the campfire.
"Oh, I hope she would give a kiss on Geoff as a way to settle their feelings, it would be a very romantic way to say goodbye," Sky commented as she could see the surfer and the party boy giving a good goodbye and making the desire of fans happening across the country and possibly the world.
Every vote was being counted with the idea of Bridgette possibly being voted out until…
"I know that I'm going to be voted out… But I refuse to go down without taking you with me Trent. I vote on Trent since he has been on this show far too long…"
.
.
.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO, WAY TO GO BRIDGETTE," Sky shouted as not just her, but a good part of the neighbors were also shouting in surprise, and some were even impressed. "Damn, Bridgette confessing that she was going down but dragging Trent with her? That was a twist move that I never thought to see."
"Oh my God, tomorrow is going to be a huge debate on work, Trent is out, I think this will be the talk of the whole week," Jane commented as she could see her sister even going away. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to check the forums, there is no way CodyLuver4Life is going to miss this, I'm sure that she is going to write a vindication post about how Trent got what he deserved after backstabbing Cody, I can already imagine the trolls and the people going rough on him online," Sky said as she was getting to her computer…
"What about the rest of the votes?" Jane called her sister, but knowing that they were watching the pay-per-view, her sister could watch the edited version later… And from seeing the shocked face of the guitarist, she couldn't help but nod her head. "Sorry for that Trent, but it seems your luck ran out."
"I don't get it, they seemed so determined to eliminate their blond one a few days ago, and then suddenly from nowhere, they decided to eliminate the meat shield today? What the hell is wrong with those fishes?" Heather said as she ate one of the desserts the fat boy brought for them after that stupid cruise trip they went on. "Firstly the boys got everything they wanted, and then they aimed to eliminate Trent so easily."
"Well at least he is gone now," Lindsay said as she didn't show any kind of sadness at seeing one of her former team members leave, which made Heather notice the blonde bombshell staring at herself in the mirror as she was looking more cheerful on that. "Now that he is gone, I can finally sleep eating something without having trusting issues about someone telling me, hey, that's a simple chocolate cake, or hey this is lemon ice cream, or hey this is a legit lemon pancake. And nothing that can be pissed or popped for you to eat."
Heather had her eyes wide open as Lindsay was holding her lipstick so tight that it was almost messing with her hand. And like a very good queen bee with self-preservation instincts, she decided to let that drop.
"Well, and now the same fish heads who eliminated almost all the members of our team, in the end, they are still too strong and they could do everything to eliminate us," Heather commented as she felt pressured by the fact that it was only a matter of time until the fish heads would attack them, and since her meat shield was done for, she needed to act quickly.
Until she was surprised to see an arrow flying from the window.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Heather shouted as the arrow crossed the other side of the female cabin, and straightly aimed at the wood wall of the said cabin... "What the hell?"
Heather narrowed her eyes as she could see the arrow stuck in the wood, and the details of the said arrow were artesian, and around that arrow, there was a paper tied like a message.
"Heather, are you okay?" Lindsay approached Heather who was still feeling cold sweat on her forehead, and a bit of anger from seeing a target across the psycho who launched the arrow at her.
"I want to know who is the sicko who did that, it's better to have an explanation for this, or I swear I'm going to make them pay," Heather said angrily as she went nearby at the stuck arrow on the wall, and seeing the message tied at it she rolled her eyes. "Heally? A letter in an arrow? Is this the Medieval Era? Anyway, let's see what it is..."
Heather slowly read the letter with a scoff, but after reading the content of the letter, her reaction slowly changed as she suddenly gave a slight glance at the corner of the cabin, seeing there was a camera aimed at them...
"Lindsay, no time to explain, follow me," Heather ordered as the blond girl tilted her head. Without giving the time for the blond girl to ask about it, Heather already passed the door.
It took 20 minutes for Heather finally reach across the forest, to find a random cave, where usually most of the campers would never imagine or even think about risking their chances of going there after the dangerous camp trips they had on the challenges.
And the darkness happening around the forest didn't help much either, but they finally reached their destination.
"Heather, are you sure this is okay?" Lindsay asked, as from what Heather told in simple words, someone wanted to talk to them both.
Heather remained quiet, as the duo finally got inside the cave, showing a prepared fireplace with some fishes being cooked in that place. And for the fear of Lindsay and disbelief of the queen bee, a ginger person was launching more wood to make the fire bigger.
"So it was you who sent the arrow into the cabin," Heather said as the ginger crazy girl got up and slowly revealed herself in front of both members of the female cabin. "I knew you would be crazy, but to get to a point into almost hitting me. That would take the cake. Izzy."
"Well, it was the only way to bring the attention of you both." Izzy smiled, as she sat on the log before taking a fried fish straight from the fire and enjoying the good nature meat, she already could see them both staring at her weirdly. "From seeing how the Killer Bass sent Trent instead of Bridgette, clearly showed they were flexible towards their own morals."
Heather and Lindsay had their eyes wide open, because instead of Izzy talking while using her crazy tone, or even dumb thinking. What it showed was something way different than they expected. And the ginger girl noticed the reaction of them and started to laugh.
"Oh, so you thought I couldn't say something logical? That's hilarious." Izzy laughed, but then she glanced around and decided to raise her hand to the duo. "There isn't a camera around, so we can talk about everything around here without them recording us and publishing around the show."
"So you were faking it all this time." Heather had her eyes wide open in surprise as she realized something that she didn't expect to hear... The crazy girl was not crazy.
Izzy smiled as she gave a look at both Heather and Lindsay and gave a deep look outside of the cave, offering the fried food to the girls who seemed to be a bit unsure of how to react to her.
"Well, in question related to the show, you should do everything to bring the attention of the public, so for me to have a crazy persona helps me to be on the low radar for a long time. Able to read the fine print of the contract and some loopholes around it, nobody could ever expect me to get this far." Izzy commented as she pointed in the direction outside of the forest. "And from the situation we are in, I would say that I would need to remain crazy to not cause suspicions."
"So why are you telling us this?" Lindsay tilted her head, as she was still afraid of Izzy, but from the tone of voice, she could feel that version of the ginger was safer than the girl she found on the morning.
"Because she wants to make an alliance with us." Heather concluded, but then both girls felt unsure as Izzy suddenly laughed as it was the funniest joke on Earth, "What's so funny?"
"Hehehe, wow, you sound like I needed your help," Izzy said in a mockery tone, causing Heather to glare her eyes at the crazy girl who just raised her hands. "Woah queen bee, I'm not your enemy, but I'm here to tell you the facts. You girls need me."
"Pff, As if." Heather scoffed as she was ready to give up on the idea of being in that place, but then Izzy laughed again. "Can you stop laughing?'
"Hahaha, I'm sorry. I'm going to stop now, haha..." Izzy took a few seconds to recover herself, and then with her eyes getting serious, she stretched herself. "Let me be more clear, you girls need me because Killer Bass will not give up the idea of being a whole team... And before you say it was obvious, no, it's way more than that. The team wasn't torn after the merge, so it's clearly still Killer Bass vs Screaming Gophers, so in any defeat, their objective was simple, eliminating the Screaming Gophers, one by one."
Heather raised her eyebrows in amusement, as she then had collected something from her idea. For the fact they still eliminated Trent instead of sending away their blond surfer. And for all the fact that they wanted so much to eliminate Trent, and without the meat shield, Heather got something in conclusion.
"So you understand now," Izzy commented as Lindsay tilted her head in confusion. But thankfully Izzy simply smiled and tapped the head of the blonde girl. "You girls are going to be the next eliminated if you both stay on the same path during this time."
"So what do you have in mind?" Heather rolled her eyes, as she clearly didn't like the idea.
"Oh, that's easy silly, oh that's even rhymes... ops, sorry, sometimes getting into this crazy persona sticks with you," Izzy commented as she composed herself, and coughed into her fist. "Well, in summary, we just need to play by their rules, and use their rules against themselves."
"Well, pff, clearly that worked well on today's challenge," Heather said annoyed but Izzy already expected that.
"I don't know what happened this morning, but from my point of view, they were flexible this time... Maybe because they really hated Trent." Izzy commented as she shrugged, which made Heather raise her eyebrows. But Lindsay nodded her head.
"I would have voted for him if I had a chance," Lindsay commented as Heather looked betrayed by her friend, but Lindsay had to take it out of her chest. "Eating pissed pancakes, I hated it so much, and he shoved in my face and lied to me, do you have any idea how long that taste of piss was in my tongue? I vomited in the middle of the night."
Izzy who was smiling, her smile dropped as she shivered, and nodded her head solemnly.
"I know how it feels, survival makes us do the craziest thing to survive, but forcing someone into doing that and lying into your face. And one thing I can't stand, it's a liar, so props on you to never forget about what he did, and I recommend to you always be wary of him." Izzy commented as she then looked at Heather who was just surprised to see the change of tone. Making the ginger girl sigh once more. "Listen, we Screaming Gophers are only 4, against 7 Killer Bass, however, if we play by their rules and use it to our advantage, then we get a tie of 4 vs 4."
"Okay, I'm listening, what do you have in mind? What do you mean playing by their rules?" Heather rolled her eyes, but her attention was completely on the girl who was smiling at her, but this time the expression was like a predator.
"Simple, as long as one of us, a Gopher wins the challenge, they must become very hesitant on who they should vote, for unless it's a Condor user," Izzy explained as she then gave two photos to both Lindsay and Heather. "The persons who actually were the most capable of seeing those words were these two. Bridgette and DJ. So having them lose on the next challenge, which mostly Bridgette will throw out because of her speech if I'm going down I'm taking you with me, there is no way that she is going to do that again unless we provoke her too much."
Heather was quiet but she nodded her head and understood the logic of them, ignoring the fact that the crazy girl already got pictures of the people who said their forbidden word...
"So you know much more about them?" Heather asked as Izzy rolled her eyes.
"I know where they even are now... for the time if you guys questioned where all the Killer Bass Members go after the challenges and the day offs... Were usually the fishes would go? Inside of an Aquarium..." Izzy said as the shadows around the fire exposed the smile on her face. "If you hear what about to say... then I guarantee that you are going to be on the final three... As long as you never interrupt my plans, and neither votes Owen... then everything will be just fine."
Heather and Lindsay looked unsure until suddenly they looked around and saw that there was indeed nothing staring at them... no camera, everything was happening off-screen...
"So what do you want us to do?" Heather asked as then she saw the smile of Izzy appearing which gave a look at Lindsay and at Heather...
"I think it's time for you both to stop playing checkers... and finally learn how to play chess," Izzy said as she decided to explain the plan...
"PUSH," Eva screamed as the Killer Bass members pushed what would be a 1-ton trailer over the direction of a role. "PUSH."
"We are almost there. DJ did you make the ramp?" Duncan said as he was feeling exhausted already, and seeing his giant friend also pushing with all his strength, it had been torture for them to do such a task after the day they had.
"Yes, we are almost… okay, there it is," DJ said as Eva, Duncan, and DJ pushed while Geoff was making sure the wheels fit the ramp.
"Alright, it's alright, you can push it now," Geoff called as the group took the opportunity to finally push with all their strength, everyone sweating, but with an effort of 20 minutes, they did it… they finally did it.
"Okay, the trailer is safe now…" Eva commented as she cleaned her sweat with a towel, and finally could see the grasp of the hot tub… "Now my trailer is safe on Aquarium."
"I still don't get why you wanted us to move this trailer of one fucking ton, Eva," Duncan said as he was feeling all sore from the heavy trailer pushing everyone to their limits. The other campers also seemed exhausted from the idea of moving by their own hands such as a big automobile across the forests until they reached their secret base.
"Would you trust your prize house in the middle of the area where anything could happen at the camp, especially with Chris McLean around?" Eva asked as the group got quiet, and then staring at the bodybuilder girl who raised a very good point, they couldn't help but nod their heads.
"Yep," Duncan commented.
"I can see that happening," Courtney agreed.
"Yeah, we can never know what can happen." Geoff talked as Bridgette nodded her head in agreement.
"Just something crazy would happen inside of his mind when it comes to these challenges," Gwen commented as she felt herself exhausted, but thankfully they were already on the secret base, and seeing the hot tub, it was a very good time for them to relax. "Now that we finished the day, I think we should celebrate that you are back Eva."
"Now, that's something I can agree on," Eva smirked as she opened the door of her prize, and saw there was even a minibar section for her to enjoy a good food. "Let me see if I have some drinks and chips. This is something that will be fun to have after we finish the show."
"Now that's a thing I agree with you. Hey, if there is a soda can, bring it to me would yah?" Duncan said as he took out his shirt, and was ready to celebrate a good time with his friends.
"Just this once, skull boy. You better not push your luck." Eva grunted as she brought the refreshments for her team. Reuniting the group that she had missed so much for so long, she finally felt welcomed back just by returning to the cave where everything began.
And the group had finally something to celebrate over the day.
Duncan opened the soda can and raised it to the members of the Aquarium.
"Cheers, for Eva returning to the game, and for Bridgette who accomplished what we should have done since the Phobia Factor challenge," Duncan said as he drank the soft drink the group nodded their heads and celebrated.
A Killer Bass may be eliminated, but she didn't go alone, she brought down someone before her. And that was what will be remarked as one of the top moments of the Total Drama show.
And a good reason for the fishes once again had their morale high again.
A victory was a victory for everyone...
As many people would celebrate a personal victory, in the vast sea crossing the horizon, a boat carried what would be a person who was still trying to process how his entire day has been, from a time he thought everything was going to be fine, to challenges that brought difficulty to everyone, and yet when he thought he could survive for another day, it was different, everyone from an opposite team wanted his head...
It was no mistake that he could feel the hostility coming from Killer Bass, to even time how their words hurt him as the way he departed from the show, he couldn't comprehend how bold they were in breaking their own moral code into doing that.
The last thing Trent remembered was the harsh words of Courtney saying they were sick and tired of him, and the look in the eyes of Gwen, still pierced his soul, he wanted to make it work, however, she completely decided to turn her back at him... Leaving in silence.
It really hurt, that feeling of losing. But at least he would return to his home, and pass the time to get back together...
"We're here." Then the captain's voice could be heard from the cabin which made the guitarist stare in surprise at the island in front of him, instead of a single port in a familiar place over where he took the boat before coming to the show, he was now staring of what would be a giant resort which could make the camp Wawanakwa a complete trash in comparison. The yellow construction which sembled like a hotel, and the good sand on the floor were definitely a good definition of a clean place.
"Are you sure that we are at the right place?" Trent asked as the captain rolled his eyes and launched a few of the baggage on the dork.
"As many other campers asked before, the answer is still the same, yes this is the right place. Playa del Losers. Have fun during the weeks before the end of the show." The captain commented rudely as he even pointed in the direction of the resort. "I don't have much time to chit-chat, so I suggest you get out of my boat right now."
"Okay, okay. I'm going." Trent commented as he carried the rest of his luggage outside of the boat, and not a minute later, the captain already departed with the boat, leaving the guitarist and former camper of the show alone around the docks. "Well, I think that's it."
Trent was thinking about how to move all the luggage that was dropped on the docks, when he heard someone stepping on the woods of the docks which discharged him, and by his surprise, it was Leshawna, Cody, Noah, Justin and Beth who went to greet the guitarist who just reached the playa.
Trent gave a smile to his friends who came to greet him, and seeing them having a happy smile on their faces, means that everything seems to be going to be fine.
"Hey, guys how are you?" Trent asked as he received a hug from Beth, and Leshawna quickly gave a hug and a fist bump.
"Nice to see you here, sugar," Leshawna commented as she greeted the guitarist and Cody who after gave a slight smile to his friend and gave a fist bump to him.
"Nice to see you again, Cody." Trent greeted the geek boy who smiled kindly at him, and even from the fact the guitarist had given his vote on the boy, Cody seemed to be kindred of spirit, since he didn't look bothered after that time he was at the playa del losers.
"Nice to see you too, Trent," Cody replied, carrying one of his suitcases, like all Screaming Gophers on the Playa seemed to be reunited once again to help with their new member on the resort. Justin, Cody, and even Leshawna went to help the guitarist while Noah snorted and decided to go directly for his sarcastic remark.
"Well done Trent, you done goofed," Noah said the remark which the other members other Screaming Gophers gave a slight glare towards the first person eliminated on the show. And even with their glares, he turned to his former team and rolled his eyes. "Come on, you know that I'm not the only one who was thinking of that."
"Yeah, but can't you even let him have a night to sleep? The boy already had too much for a whole day." Leshawna said as she slapped the head of the bookworm boy who just scoffed and scratched the same place which was slapped. As she even gave a slight glance over the guitarist who was still processing everything that happened on the day. "Don't mind Noah, he always has been like that since the elimination he had after the first episode."
Noah looked angrily at the woman who was also another victim of the same bee queen, but he decided to ignore the comment and just focused on the group who carried the baggage to one of the bedrooms of the resort. It didn't take long to Trent finally get into his room, leave all his suitcases around, and be ready to have a good night of sleep.
"Man, that has been a long day. Thank you guys for helping me out with this." Trent smiled, feeling already welcomed over the resort from seeing his team once again, while Noah scoffed from that, the other members seemed to be happy to make the guitarist settle over his own bedroom.
"Well sweetheart, you have a very good time enjoying the vacations you have after losing the show, and if you want you can watch the show from the television which has pay-per-view, making it possible to watch 24 hours all the cameras around, so if you are bored you can watch the other campers from here," Leshawna explained, as the others finally were leaving, Justin gave his beautiful smile while Beth waved for the last time on the day. And Noah even helped to make the bed for Trent before leaving.
Leshawna gave a final hug before leaving the bedroom, with just 2 Screaming Gophers members in the bedroom.
"Well, I think that's it," Cody said as the duo seemed to be alone around the bedroom after a long day from both sides. "Sorry that it didn't end up well for you Trent."
"It's fine dude," Trent said as he shrugged, but was happy to see him again. And for the time he has been with the little geek on the camp, Cody seemed to be acting a bit different than the first time he was from being part of the show, he looked more restrained and more mature. "It seems that being here has helped you out a lot."
"Well, I wouldn't say that," Cody confessed as he knew his friend was still having problems accepting what happened. On the first day, he is on the island, he is devastated by the shocking revelation that his elimination was unanimous, from the idea of Heather using vote Owen to eliminate him, but also Trent by his own free will voted on the poor geek to be one of the campers to be eliminated. "The time I got here, it has been struggling, it took me a few days or even a few weeks to make me familiarize myself with this place, especially at the time I was eliminated when I got official with my girlfriend."
Trent heard the tone of his voice and made the guitarist pause and glance at him... The uncomfortable silence was enough to make Trent scratch his head and look sheepish.
"Ah yeah... you must have watched the episode. Sorry that in the end you got voted out by everyone." Trent while he said it was natural for everyone, Cody knew that his friend meant well, but those words still hurt.
"That time your vote really hurt me, Trent, I thought you would at least vote for someone else because you are my friend." Cody was clear as he said it with honesty, and those words made Trent flinch, but the geekester just shrugged it off. "But it's just water's on the bridge, and I have to tell you, it was a very funny payback Katie gave to you."
"What payback?" Trent asked as he looked both anxious and horrified.
"Your pink hair." Cody simply replied which made Trent freak out.
"That was her? It took days to get them out." Trent said in disbelief as he was very shocked and outraged, but Cody raised his hands.
"Well, didn't you learn to be away from a woman who has bloodshot eyes and desires to have vengeance? To be honest, I thought Eva would have eaten you alive, but she first went for the bear who caused her to get out of the camp for the first time, and I have to tell you. Your leaving by votes has been a miracle in comparison to what Eva would have done to you on that camp." Cody was honest, and the guitarist had to pass the time in silence and appreciate that he was indeed lucky, from imagining what kind of dangerous animal he would have to survive if he stayed on that camp for one more day. And with Cody seeing Trent's reflection, it seems that it was also a good idea for him to explain. "Trent, I've known you since the times we were in camp Wawanakwa and I treat you like a good friend of mine, so I'm going to warn you. All episodes of the show have been here. Taking out the pay-per-view, the edited version of the episodes are there for you to watch... and I know that you want to meet everyone at the camp tomorrow, but please, for the love of God and everything that it's most precious, don't interact with the Killer Bass until you watch all the episode of the show."
"Ah, what are you talking about?" Trent asked as Cody looked deeply into his eyes.
"Trent, I'm telling you as a friend," Cody commented as he had said everything he wanted and he was very tired over that day, but still giving the talk he needed to give for his friend. "Please. Just do it"
Trent was still confused, but seeing his friend determined him to not interact with the other team, he could guess that the hostility from the other team was indeed similar to the time on the camp Wawanakwa, and he always has been confused on why everyone was always angry at him... And seeing Cody acting like that, it must have been something really terrible that he wasn't aware of...
The guitarist remained quiet but then nodded his head.
"Alright. I'm going to sleep, and tomorrow I'm going to be here until I finish the episodes." Trent commented which made Cody sigh in relief and be happy for his friend.
"Thank you, and don't worry. We can bring you some food while you watch the episodes. We got you covered, and I don't want you to get too much of that heat." Cody commented as Trent looked at the geek who just raised his hands. "You better not know that. Me, Katie, and Leshawna already have a troll user on the internet who has been annoying us for too long. And Leshawna is trying to get her banished from the forum of the show. And it's for the best you don't know about it."
"Okay, fair enough. Thanks for helping me, dude." Trent said as he helped Cody to leave the room, and before leaving Cody gave a fist bump with the new member over the playa.
"That's everything I could do to help a friend. Good night Trent." Cody said before leaving the guitarist alone in his own bedroom.
Alone with his own company with the possibility to enjoy the accommodations which the show must have prepared for everyone who just lost on the show, the curtains over the suite, a television, a computer, everything seemed to be so great, and yet... Trent felt that it would have been better if he stayed at the camp, doing the crazy challenges, or even having to deal with the terrible smelling farts that Owen would unleash on the cabin, he missed Gwen, even though she said for him to move on. And he really wanted to, but he felt that he just wished that he could have stayed...
So as alone he felt in the bedroom, nobody watching him, he went to his bed planted his head on the table, and went to sleep, not noticing that at the time he would wake up, his pillow would have shown a bit humid from the tears he had shred in the middle of the night.
Ezekiel watched the pay-per-view, seeing his friends working together to push the trailer prize to the Aquarium indeed he should give a thumbs up for Eva's genius plan. That way Chris wouldn't accidentally blow up the prize by using the cannon for the next challenge. And from the episode itself had made him smile, for seeing the Killer Bass become once again raises their morale. And even seeing Bridgette giving the kamikaze attack into sending Trent to his elimination first while she was flexible into bending the Killer Bass' own rules in her favor. It has indeed made Ezekiel realize how a single letter would make such a difference on the show.
It has been indeed difficult times after his elimination, and a part of him blamed himself for declaring the prank's war while he was with a cold, he wanted to help his team to remain solid... But to see Eva and Izzy back on the show, and with each of them having their strategies and desire to win. The homeschooled boy felt like he was his former self, a homeschooled child who had been raised by teachers in his past life, and ironically refused to go to a public school after a school shooting that led to up killing of his cousin...
It was a grim coincidence, that his past life, and the actual life he had, somethings may nothing have changed, but since it was a cartoon it was always overshadowed by the plot, but real life happens in every single universe. Courage the Cowardly Dog, Steven Universe, and Adventure Time, were shows that marked a generation... And for himself to hold this mantle to make sure that this world not just could only learn about them, but to see them enjoying them... It made him prepare everything... To even finish the cover he had done for his first book.
It was a photograph of Courage staring at the camera afraid, as behind him there was the gentle Muriel who was waving at the camera, and on her side, there was a very grumpy old man with a hat glaring at the Courage with anger... Behind them, there was the same old house from the Middle of Nowhere, and there was one nearby them, in the shadow something like a great form of a dangerous creature which probably Courage was the first who notice and was ready to scream in fear.
And from the art he did, he gave slight marks on the paper written which colors belonged to where... And with a scan, that was everything he needed... To send the final piece to the publishers... And for how long it would take for them to publish his book? Only time will tell. But at least, Courage was going to be a pioneer over the world once more, like the time he was published on Cartoon Network, the era of the old cartoons, a good time of nostalgia hit him from all the great cartoons he loved to watch as a kid. Samurai Jack, Mucha Lucha, Xiaolin Showdown, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Megas XLR, Chicken and Cow, The Laboratory of Dexter, Powerpuff GIrls, cartoons that made generations... It was so many, and so much work to do.
"Someday maybe I will make you all justice, but sorry, I have to focus only on these 3, they have been the biggest works in my past life, and they were the shows that I have the most memories of," Ezekiel commented as he went to check on his papers, Adventure Time just need 7 more chapters, and he could finish the first book, but which some episodes he isn't very interested into writing from the first episode since some were a bit more like filler and didn't give the right attention of bring an impact on how have been on season... 2... Ezekiel had his eyes wide open as he looked on his typewriter. "If I do that, this is going to be one of the most claimed chapters of all time, and which would make the people so crazy for reading the next book, that I can swear Gwen is going to demand me to tell the spoilers, but... It would be a perfect way to make the book so loved, and to make the development of this character to a point that nobody would hate him forever... yeah, it has been one of the best episodes of the whole cartoon universe, and he deserved this. And probably I should ask the company to publish this specific book on Christmas. Simone Petrikov's reveal would be something that would treasure at this end of the year."
Ezekiel planned, and by approaching his typewriting, he knew how to write the final chapter of the first book of Adventure Time.

"You are a bastard, did you know that?" Noah commented as he was fixing his eyes with both amazement and shock and even trying to hide a few tears from his eyes. "It's rare for a book to make me cry, and you just manipulated every single piece of information of this to make this drop bomb, how do you sleep at night?"
"When it comes to Ice King? Laughing and Crying at the same time, he is one of my favorite characters I wrote about. And like they said, heavy..."
"It's the head that wears the crown..." Noah said as he gave a sniff and composed himself, "I always thought he was an idiot, a grown-up man-child... But, now that I read this, it's pure insanity, why did he keep wearing the crown for so long?"
"That's information that belongs to the book 3 or 4," Ezekiel said as Noah had his eyes wide open, making the homeschooled boy smile widely. "I'm going give information at the end of book 1 telling that... and leave the people create theories about why, and when the time comes, it will be tears that will make everyone love Ice King forever."
"He did it for love. But for who? He is unstable of love of a partner so there was no way he had a wife when it was in the middle of apocalypses." Noah came to a conclusion but his entire mind was also trying to figure out, and from seeing the smile on Ezekiel's face, he could see that everything was planned. "So when are you going to publish this book again?"
"This one still needs more 7 chapters to make the first book, so I think it will be done by the end of this year, if I do everything right, Courage the Cowardly Dog's first book make good sales, they said I could make this one being published in probably between November and December, which I'm glad to make sure to ask them if they could publish on Christmas period," Ezekiel explained as he pointed on how everything would depends on the pink beagle book, and hoping for the best it would open the paths for him as a good writer. "And don't worry, since you have been my editor, the publishers told me they are going to give you a free sample of the book as well."
"Well, that's good to know. I'm sure my sister who is into fantasies will love these books. From all the terrible romances that she is reading over vampires, I think she will love to actually read about Marceline." Noah commented as he then gave a raised eyebrow at him. "You do realize this Adventure Time book could create a cult don't you?"
"I don't know, and I don't care," Ezekiel said as he smiled not just with the idea of Adventure time becoming a fever like has been around the world he lived before, but with the idea of making people flip with what he planned to do with the future? "That's because they have no idea what I'm planning with the end of book 1 of Steven Universe."
And Noah stared at the homeschooled boy exasperated.
"I know that you like to work on your books, but we are in a resort did you know that? You should chill a bit, and actually, enjoy this place?" Noah said as he appreciated Ezekiel working on his books, but the fact he had been working for so long really made him stare at him weirdly... "Are you okay?"
Ezekiel raised his hand to deny such a claim, but after staring at the silence for a few seconds... The boy couldn't help but be honest.
"Well yes I'm fine, but... to be honest. I kinda miss Izzy and Eva, they have been always talking to me around and visiting in my bedroom during the time I have to take my medicine, and usually on the break time of the challenges, I don't do much since I watch the pay-per-view and work at the chapter at the same time. It was kinda boring since I don't have much else to do." Ezekiel commented as he looked around and found Cody and Katie enjoying their good time kissing and sharing a good time together. Harold and Leshawna were having a good time enjoying the sunbath, Tyler was playing with a frisbee with Beth, but his clumsiness made him fall from the palm tree, don't ask him how he got on there in the first place. Sadie was holding some Dumbbells and Justin was usually checking himself in the mirror.
"Hmm, I think I get it. You are thinking about something to make your mind keep working instead of thinking about being bored." Noah could comprehend, since he has feeling with such challenges of not being bored around the island as well, and finding that indeed editing the chapters of the works has been a very productive way for himself to not interact much with the others, he has been enjoying to know more of the chapters than the most campers would ever know. So both the bookworm and the homeschooled boy, pass the time thinking about a way to get rid of the boring feeling.
"Hey, how about we play a game?" Then suddenly an idea appeared in Ezekiel's mind and Noah narrowed his eyes immediately.
"If is hide and seek, then no. Last time it was a nightmare playing that game. It took the whole day." Noah said as he narrowed his eyes towards the boy who raised his hands up.
"Hey, it's not my fault if you couldn't find me." Ezekiel shrugged, which made Noah roll his eyes. "I told you guys that I'm good playing it."
"Yeah, you said. But I'm not into mode into looking for someone for hours." Noah said as Ezekiel nodded his head.
"Okay, fair enough, maybe in the future we could find something else to do over this boredom," Ezekiel said as he sighed from looking at one of his works being edited. "I think after I finish my first edition of this trio, I would enjoy having a little break over this, I mean, it has been years I have been writing everything. So having a little break to rest my mind would be a good thing."
"Well, that's a beginning." Noah shrugged, which saw Leshawna and Harold bringing two coconuts for the duo of editors to enjoy a good time in paradise. "Welp, at least you are recovering from your pneumonia, and you don't need help to take your medicine on time."
"That's true, but hey, at least the show will be over in a few a few weeks," Ezekiel commented, knowing that their stay around the playa wouldn't be forever, so to see their friends once again before the final episode wouldn't be too far away.
"That's a probability, knowing how this show was crazy, I wouldn't be surprised Chris would have a nasty surprise for us," Noah commented, having Ezekiel nodding at him, and since both of them were having something tropical to drink, maybe it was a good time for them to relax. And with awareness of what the host of the show could do, the duo decided to give cheers on their coconuts and enjoy the tropical time over the Playa.
Cody felt happy, since doing another barbecue for everyone was a good menu for the group, he knew that on the next 2 days, they would enjoy a good rest before they had their heartbeats jumping from anxiety, since the next episode of Total drama would aire in 2 days, Cody always preferred to enjoy the most simple things, having friends, enjoy a good frisbee time with Tyler, kiss his girlfriend in a few times, he can't wait to show his parents about the girlfriend he meets on the show, and for the fact she was very attention to him, it really made him be happy with the choices he had made...
Cody knocked on the door a few times while he was holding a few plates of food for his friend who must be doing a marathon towards over the episodes, so he may want to have some company around. But at the time he saw the door being opened, he felt horrified to see the face of his friend... Trent, who had a terrible look on his face. His hair was messed up, and even his face was sweating a lot.
"Cody, what have I done?" Those were the words the geek boy wanted to his friend say. Since for the time he was on the show, he had no idea how the television caught everything, and when he meant everything, it was everything that the campers didn't even know about themselves. And seeing Trent who always had been kind and a nice guy to see a completely horrified and messed up look on his face. He saw it... Everything... which made him have no other question. "What have I done?"
Cody remained quiet, as he could see that his friend was now on the verge of facing the terrible reality, from that point forward it was going to be difficult for him, but if he was strong and willing to put it together. Then maybe, everyone whom he hurt without intention could find something in their hearts to give him a chance... But until then, Trent looked awful, as Cody couldn't imagine if he had been disappointed or even disgusted with himself, but the only way to find out... Was to talk to him, and maybe that's why he wanted to come alone because he needed a friend at that moment.
And even if was the most difficult times and even if hurt him before, he was still there. To help his friend.
"Let's eat something first, and we will talk about what happened," Cody said as he calmly walked to the bedroom, slowly closing the door to have a talk with his friend, about what happened, and how he really needed to have watched on those episodes. But that would be a story for later.
