Authors Note: It took so long to write a whole chapter like that, man, I hope you all like the changes I did for this chapter... Because it's getting harder and harder to write the new chapters... Anyway, for the reviews now.
BrightNova169 Well, I believe your wait finally come to a fruition, because I hope you enjoy this chapter as much I liked to write it.
MatiasND You would see that Ezekiel worries not just a few campers, but for the concept of curse being that dangerous. So I hope you like this chapter.
Benny Farr Ezekiel got even in info sharing, but when it comes to favors, Heather ows him twice now...
kazikamikaze24 Thanks for liking it Heather getting some evolution early, because I have to confess that Heather is one of my favorite characters/villain/anti-hero, I think to make her has some idea on how to construct her around is something great. I hope you like this chapter.
Thank you all for enjoying it guys. I hope you enjoy this idea, and have a nice read and good fun. XD
"Last time on Total Drama Island…" Chris began with his usual smirk on his face. "competitors became hunters. And the hunted. Owen's game was way off. And when he finally caught wind of his prey, he totally blew it. And Cody passed time with his girlfriend while they were upside-down from a neat trap. And in a shocking turn of…events, hehehehe, sorry, sorry I just, hehe, I just can't say this with a straight face. Trent made a terrible mistake in finding the wrong words to tell the heart of the Killer Bass team, which in the end led to the best reference of the most perfect Mafia Movie ever made. I had to pay a good money to make the soundtrack would be similar to the Godfather movie. I swear the guitarist will flinch every time he hears the movie soundtrack or sees a paintball gun ever again. Heather, Lindsay, and Beth found a new friend, who turned out to be a terrible bear… But the panic made them run away in such a hurry that the curse of Boney Island once again attacked Heather by slipping a pee jar from nobody other than Owen… Needless to say, the bear was afraid of what Heather could do to him after being soaked on that nasty stuff. I swear you just can't write this stuff! And ultimately it was the Screaming Gophers who once again had to suffer through another bonfire ceremony. In the end, it was Cody who got to go from a betrayal made by nobody else than Trent, 5 against one vote was indeed something that no camper would like to ever receive…. But now with the merge almost approaching… How long it will come? Who knows? But one final scene from the pay-per-view… Heather told the Killer Bass about Trent's betrayal, and Katie swore revenge.. and in time of empathy… Ezekiel paid the same coin by exposing the curse… Now Beth, Ezekiel, and Heather had to cross to Boney Island to undo the curse. The Gophers are still the underdogs. Can they bounce back? Can they get rid of the curse? Find out tonight on Total. Drama. Island!"
Around the camp Wawanakwa, the day seemed just like any other, the blue sky, and the good environment with nature. The animals were happy, exploring the nature around them, the trees were showing good green as the sound of a fart was enough to make many animals leave immediately due to the terror of the sound and to save their lives from the smell.
Trent woke up in a fall from his bed since his friend just farted so loud that it made him wake up. Thankfully he wasn't on the top of the bunker bed, but also on the down bed, he just glanced around and saw that... he saw the lack of presence of the other members of his team... Now would be only him and the big guy who just farted... He knew that what he did may not have forgiveness from his friend, but he went there to go at the game until the end. And it was difficult to find a way to keep playing when his team kept losing all the time...
It was like they somehow were cursed or something... He couldn't help but think it would have been tempting to ask Owen and Cody to vote him out, but he needed to keep trying and possibly find a way to keep in the show. He felt somehow this time would be his lucky day...
And that was what he needed to have a good smile and go directly to the bathroom which Harold was just finishing to take a shower...
At the time the sound of the shower was done, Harold was happy to take the stain off his underwear, he was glad that the boys were so comprehensive to him, and he learned that he may need to be more honest with his friends. Especially since they want him to not make him look bad in front of Leshawna... It was great to have some friends nearby and nothing would mess up with his cheerful morning... Until he opened the door, and the happy smile on his face turned into a deep frown upon the guitarist who was about to get inside the bathroom.
Trent saw the hostility in his eyes, knowing that somehow the group was still angry at him... At the time he was about to say something. The nerd ignored him and holding his now wet clean underwear he went back to his own cabin.
Trent knowing it would have been pointless to talk, decided to go to the shower and have time to take a bath... Maybe this time the show wouldn't be broken the time he would use it.
The temperature of the water was fine, the pressure didn't explode the valve or anything that would mess up his bath... Using his shampoo he needed to clean up his black hair...Sighing happily Trent felt relieved to take a good moment to enjoy his privacy and take a good time for himself...
(Main Lodge)
"Where is Chef and the food?" Duncan said as he felt annoyed because by the time they were supposed to have breakfast, Chef Hatchet wasn't there, and the kitchen was looked with a metal door which nobody knew was there in the first place.
And noticing that he wasn't alone in that regard, DJ, Geoff was checking the metal door blocking the kitchen...
"Strange, I don't remember seeing a door like that," DJ commented as he knocked the cold metal from the door, which even echoed on the other side of the kitchen.
Duncan was looking impatiently as he kept tapping on the table but then saw Courtney and Bridgette walk into the main lodge with the same energy as Duncan.
"Did you get any luck?" Duncan asked as the C.I.T. girl and the surfer sat at their seat with a bit of hunger in their stomachs.
"They even place bars on the windows of the kitchen. What is their problem? It's the third challenge that they made us hungry for breakfast, what are they going to do today?" Courtney said as she was feeling annoyed by another challenge that would require them to not eat their breakfast. "Last time they wanted us to eat canned beans for breakfast."
Bridgette also felt something was off, seeing that the Chef himself not appearing and the secrecy of what was inside the kitchen was making them more curious about it.
"I don't know. Usually, Chef would be shouting at us for getting late to have the food. But at least he would be here. What happened to him?"Bridgette asked as she herself could feel her stomach having some complaints around...
But then she just glanced around to see there were a few people not in the main lodge...Seeing DJ and Geoff also staring at the door curiously. The ideas surrounding the future challenge would also make her wary but also curious about what's going to happen.
Minutes passed until the door was open, and Gwen was with a good smirk on her face, and Katie was giggling uncontrollably. Lindsay walked with Owen who was almost starving and desiring to eat anything at that moment.
"Food, food..." Owen's body was in a trance as he walked and realized something was wrong. 'Where is Chef? Where is the food?"
"Bad luck big guy, Chef is not here and there is a big metal door locked..." Geoff explained that he then saw a big man almost double his size had his eyes shrink and then went straight to the door... And knocking like a despaired man.
"YOU MANIACS, BLEW IT UP. OH DAMN YOUUUUU. *BEEEEP* YOU DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL." Owen shouted as his eyes showed endless tears, and he tried to lick the door, and DJ and Geoff took that moment to turn their backs and not see what the fat boy was about to do.
Bridgette who was watching that scene in amusement and disgust, then saw Gwen and Katie who seemed to still be smiling from something.
"You both took a bit long. What happened?" Bridgette raised her eyebrow and seeing Gwen and Katie that happy, there was something going on and she wanted to be part of it.
"Oh, you need to wait and see," Gwen commented as the giggles of the tan twin evolved to almost uncontrollable laughing.
Duncan, DJ, and Geoff turned their heads and now found something that made them interested to know.
"Trust me, it's going to be funny, but where are the others?"Gwen asked as she saw that from the Bass, there were two members missing.
"Ezekiel went for an enthusiastic walk as he said, and Harold must be wearing his clothes," Geoff explained to Courtney, Gwen, Bridgette, and Katie stopped her giggle, and the girls tilted their heads.
"Enthusiastic walk?"Courtney asked as she never heard someone say something like that before.
"That's what he said, princess. Sometimes I think this island is making him weirder and weirder when the time passes."Duncan scoffed as he rolled his eyes. Seeing that somehow the island was affecting the members of his own team, he sighed in tiredness..."I don't blame him, this damn Island is making everyone insane little by little."
"But it's weird that he decided to do a walk and until now didn't return."Bridgette also commented since she knew Ezekiel wouldn't be wasting time around in the time of challenge.
DJ and Duncan paused, as they glanced around and just looked at the door opening, revealing Harold all clothed again...
"Hey Harold, did you see Zeke around?" Duncan asked loudly, and the blue-shirt nerd glanced around before shaking his head.
"Nah, the last time I saw him was this morning with you guys." And at the time Harold said that the group started to glance at each other.
"Do you think something happened?" DJ asked which made clear that the group started to worry about a member of their team suddenly disappearing.
Lindsay who was staring at the group who were gathering to even go outside walked towards them.
"Hey, are you talking Zekia?" Lindsay asked the wrong name which made the Bass team stare at her in questioning look. "He went with Beth and Heather to Honey Island to try to undo the curse..."
"Honey Island? Curse?" The questions made by both groups of Killer Bass were something Lindsay didn't know that she just opened the Pandora box...
(? - Heather, Ezekiel and Beth)
"I can't believe I have accepted doing something crazy like that," Heather complained after minutes of paddling with the farmer's teenagers, the trio traveled on the waters since the morning without telling anyone where they were going... The only person who knows about their trip is Lindsay who chooses to remain on the Island for the sake of helping to win the challenge of the day... And Chris who possibly prepared the cameras and the crew to travel around to follow the trio of campers in their journey to undo the curse. Beth was also feeling her skin sweat, as it was something done from the hard work of paddling, but also from the scorching sun in the sky... Thankfully they had some water bottles just in case of felt dehydrated, but also used the water nearby to place on their faces to refresh from the heat.
"That's strange, today is so hot," Beth complained, as she never thought it would have been nice to bring one Lindsays product to make herself and Heather ready for the trip. Heather got her eyes rolling the same way...
Ezekiel sighed in exasperation, knowing that going into a trip alone with the duo of Screaming Gophers screamed red flags around his mind all the time, but he couldn't help it, he didn't want to see his teammates involved in such a delicate subject as a freaking curse around the island. He watched the show many times, and many people from the fandom had theories if Beth was freed from the curse or not... The banishment of France and the loss of her prize money would be such a terrible way to lose the money.
Ezekiel remained quiet, but noticing how the heat was indeed affecting him as well, he took out his winter blouse and his green winter head away...placing under his shoes was something that he could remain with him, and still with the equipment nearby him, he knew that there isn't an ordinary day on Total Drama, there always would be a catch. Even if Chris isn't involved with it, somehow there is something that always would be.
"Ugh, can't this thing go any faster?" Heather complained as she herself was getting annoyed from the delay since she wanted so much to make the problems over with and if somehow a miracle would happen, she would manage to come back to win the challenge with her team. Even if that sounds impossible, they already lost too much.
"Hold on, Lady Raincorn." Ezekiel paused as he raised his oar with him, which made Heather raise her eyebrow at him weirdly. "If you think that we manage to get in time of the challenge, you better forget, because we are not sure if they are doing the challenge at this moment. So you better give up."
"What did you just call me?" The queen bee crossed her arms as she looked unaffected by the insult.
"Lady Raincorn, the wife of one of the main characters of the story I'm writing." Ezekiel ignored her as he focused on paddling with his oar, and didn't look behind to see not only her, but Beth also tilting her head to him. "She is a long rainbow unicorn... She is the wife of a magical dog who can change sizes. Best friend of a Princess of a Candy Kingdom..."
"Pff, I failed to see why you compare me to..." Heather rolled her eyes but nothing she would expect from a farmer like Ezekiel would make her blink her eyes in surprise.
"She only speaks in Korean... Almost everyone from the show can understand her, less the main character who is a boy of 11 years old, so he still has problems understanding her." Ezekiel then said which made Heather blink and stare at the boy with both surprise but also in annoyment.
"Oh, that's so cute." Beth felt interested in knowing more about it, while Heather just was adamant about one thing.
"Why Korean?" Heather asked as she didn't like the sound of someone wanting to force a character from her ancestors.
"Why not Korean?" The sudden question and the shrugs from Ezekiel made Heather soften her glare at him. "The joke is mostly of the kid being the only one who doesn't understand the language, while his brother who is her husband, and the princess who is her best friend are always aware of what she says... It's fun on that way."
Heather blinked... as she noticed that the homeschooled guy said it, not in the desire to sound racist but to find a fun way to represent her native language and country... Which made her scoff but also drop the subject.
"Alright Mr. Writer, how long it would take for us to reach the island?" Heather sarcastically asked, and Ezekiel rolled his eyes.
"The same long we took when we went on the first time. Seriously Heather? You want to be nagging right now?" Ezekiel replied as he suddenly felt a shrive... the heat they were feeling at that moment, dropped, and was slowly getting colder with the time. "Strange... It's still sun, but it's getting colder around here."
Beth who was paddling also noticed that somehow her arms were getting colder, and Heather who was bored into going to such a terrible island, also felt that her body was also feeling cold so suddenly.
"What the..." Heather asked until then she saw that a good part of the water was being shadowed by a huge cloud, and by slowly raising her head, there was a big cloud that was marking a direction towards one single place...
"We are almost there..." Ezekiel said as he felt suddenly that the shadowed part of the water, and a bit far away... the water seemed to be more in a cristalized form... he looked in disbelief until he realized what just happened... "Please tell me this isn't what I think it is..."
Beth tilted her head until she continued to paddle in the direction of the crystalized mark until suddenly the impact was enough to make the canoe stop and all three luckily went outside of the canoe in above the crystalized part of the water... Which showed to be solid frozen in that area.
They have arrived a few miles away from the cursed Boney Island... and now they have to take their canoe and walk onto the island. The air, once stagnant, began to ripple with an unnatural energy. Dark clouds gathered overhead, swirling into an ominous vortex that cast an eerie shadow across the desolate landscape. A bone-chilling wind whispered through the skeletal remains of the twisted trees, carrying with it the ancient murmurs of a curse awakened.
Heather got up and stared at what would be the terror of the island which seemed ten times worse than her first experience of the challenge. Beth was trembling for two reasons, one was the chilling cold air filling the area outside of the island... Second, the fear of how the curse of the object she took from the island now wants to have her soul as payment. Her teeth were making her braces shake from both terrible ideas that they came towards the challenge.
"*Beep*" Ezekiel cussed, knowing that now they were into a challenging way worse than he would ever expect to see... Never in his mind, he would see an island covered in snow after just a few days away from the island. "We have to go there."
"Oh hell no." Heather said as she pointed at the cursed island, "Let's just go in the shore and leave the Tiki on there and get the *beep* out of here."
"Yeah, what Heather said." Beth nodded her head in fear, and she could see that even Ezekiel was hesitating.
"That's a good call, Heather, seriously, I would go for it..." Ezekiel nodded his head in approval but somehow Heather knew that there was a bit on there. "But, do you think that it would work if we do that?"
"You are the expert, you should know," Heather said as she was feeling angry but also was feeling the coldness of the snow finally approaching all of them... Using her arms she tried to take out the canoe by herself, but she noticed that both Ezekiel and Beth helped her to take the canoe out of the water.
"I know that usually, we should bring the object nearby where it was taken out from the first place. So it could be the place where we were doing the fire in the last challenge or somewhere in the forest. But I have no guarantee that we would reach the same results if we just do the ritual in front of the island." Ezekiel said assuredly, which made Heather bite her inner lips in anger. "Are you willing to risk it?"
Beth could see Heather without a response to that question... So knowing that everything was her fault she decided to step in.
"I'm going there," Beth said determined which made Ezekiel and Heather stare at her. "It's my fault and I think I should be the one to undo the curse."
Heather was about to protest but Ezekiel went ahead.
"That's a fact Beth, but you have no idea on how to do everything, you need to create an altar, make the fire, and give a tribute. Doing that alone on the island alone would be stupidity. So you need protection." Ezekiel said as he took the bow with him and the quiver as well. "Heather can stay with the canoe and we can go there to do it and we run the fast as we can..."
"Oh hell no," Heather said as she stomped her foot on the ice floor, which made her freeze and realize that she could be walking on thin ice... But thankfully the ice looked more solid than water... She composed herself. "There is no way, I'm going to be left alone on the island. I'm in... I hate this, but I'm not going to let you both leave me alone."
"Well, we need to get there the fast as we can. So you have any idea, Lady Raincorn?" Ezekiel asked and Heather rolled her eyes.
"Stop calling me that and let me think..." Heather commanded as she looked at the ice floor and how good miles away would be from the island... And with the possibility that there would be snow in the Boney Island... She then smirked. "Actually I think I got one idea."
(Main Lodge)
"EZEKIEL IS GOING TO BONEY ISLAND?" Courtney and Bridgette shrieked as the boys looked thunderous.
"That's unbelievable, why did he want to help Heather at all?" Gwen said annoyed, since she never saw the interaction between the duo and now somehow the green hat boy decided to help the girl who was his enemy. "Especially that it's your team's fault to bring the curse to this camp."
"But he said he was doing it because he knows how to undo the curse in exchange for us owning a favor for him..."Lindsay explained which made DJ and the other guys have their eyes wide open. "He said it was also a thanks for Heather warning you guys about Trent on Mody's elimination."
"Cody." Katie corrected as she was serious and stopped laughing. She was feeling exasperated to see how the situation ended up like that.
"Err... guys, not to want to be that guy, but you said we are cursed?" Owen who was still feeling his stomach groaning, felt a bit terrified from hearing about the curse coming on the camp.
"Yeah, Beth seemed to take something from Boney Island and that was the reason why you guys were so unlucky during these days." Harold gave a simple explanation as he himself had no idea how to respond to the reason why his friend did that.
"Oh..." Owen deflated, as he nervously chuckled and felt a shrive on his spine, maybe the curse was the reason why his pee made Heather want to strangle him so much...
"Maybe it was because he was tired that our team was also affected by the bad luck? Since the showers got broken and even some of the places we were nearby the Screaming Gophers also affected our luck as well?" Geoff asked which DJ felt terrified by the idea.
"I don't know, but don't you think Ezekiel going alone with both Heather and Beth into that haunted island would be dangerous?" DJ raised his point which made Courtney and Bridgette think about wanting to help. But Duncan was the first one to take the action.
"That freaking idiot. I'm going there right now." Duncan didn't even wait for his team to say something. He walked hurriedly to the door but at the time he opened it, he saw a smirking face of Chris.
"Good morning campers. I'm glad you are all excited to see the next challenge that's going to happen in 2 hours." Chris said as he could see Duncan trying to pass by him. "Woah hey, what's going on?"
"I don't have time for that Chirs, I'm going to take a canoe and get out from here," Duncan said as he was passing by the host of the show, but the next words made him stop.
"If is about Ezekiel, Heather, and Beth going to Boney Island. Then I have to tell you that it's a bad idea for you to go alone there..." Chris said in a serious tone, which made the delinquent stop and glare at the host who was happy to be there.
"You knew about this?" Duncan snarled at Chris who raised his hands up.
"Woah bad doggy. I'm here to tell you that the Island is crazy, I sent some of my interns to place cameras around Boney Island, and there was a chaotic climatic change there. I watched the video cameras on there, and it's snowing there." Chris warned Duncan as he pointed out one important fact. "Also he got permission to do that, but you guys don't, and if any of you don't do the challenge of the day, your team will be disqualified and you can already say bye-bye to one of your members."
"It's not funny Chris," Duncan said as he glared hatefully at him, which Chris gave his annoying smirk.
"For me it is, so you better get your team together and prepare yourselves because the next challenge is going to be the best but also the worst experience you guys will ever receive with your whole lives," Chris warned the group every single Killer Bass looked in alarm and in concern about their member into the dangerous Island the group were before.
"CHRIS, THE FOOD, WHERE IS CHEF, WHERE IS THE FOOD?"Owen shouted, grabbing the host of the show by the collar and shaking so much, that Chris was feeling nauseous in the air.
"Stop shaking me," Chris said loudly and the starved camper released him immediately. Taking a few seconds to compose himself and check his own hair... Chris glared at Owen before explaining it. "Chef Hatchet and the food is well secured since this will be part of the challenge. Now I recommend you back off and wait until the challenge is ready."
Owen has his lips trembling and in the verge of crying, but the host of the show doesn't care about it.
Gwen scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"So you once again made us get starved on the breakfast for a preparation of a challenge to make us do crazy stuff just for the sake of eating?"Gwen glared at Chris who just smiled at her.
"That's actually not a bad idea, but, today's challenge is going to be a bit different, but one thing that I'm going to enjoy so much." Chris gave a wolfish smile as he could see the others squirm from his smile. "I will see you guys in two hours right here..."
At the time Chris left, Duncan was about to ignore it and go back to the beach, but a strong hand grabbed him. Turning his head he saw Courtney with a determined look on her face.
"Just drop it," Courtney said which made the delinquent even more furious, but she interrupted him before he was going to say something. "Ezekiel got permission from Chris so that means he had a plan to travel on the island. But also he gave a good favor to sabotaging the Screaming Gophers by taking Beth and Heather with him."
"Are you serious right now? You want to win that much?" Duncan asked both in disbelief and annoyed.
"Yes, because his work would have been in vain..." Courtney stomped her foot, and seeing Duncan angrily she gave a sigh and tried again. "Look, at the time he gets here he is going to get an earful from all of us."
Duncan remained quiet, but then giving a good glance at the C.I.T. girl he scoffed.
"You are a terrible influence on him."And words like that made the hell break lose.
"EXCUSE ME?" Courtney said in outrage her eyes flamming in fire. "What you mean I WAS THE BAD INFLUENCE IN HIM? You are the one who is taking him on the bad decisions."
"ME? Excuse me princess, but this has all your influence in it. You are the one who treats this game seriously just for the sake of winning." Duncan said as he stared angrily at her. And Courtney got nearby and with anger, she wanted to strangle the delinquent.
"My influence? You are the one who always does the craziest and chaotic thing when it comes to the challenges."Courtney shouted and their arguing became one iconic moment since a few meters away, Gwen, Katie, and Bridgette were watching in amusement.
"50 bucks they are going to hook up until the end of the show," Bridgette said as Katie rolled her eyes.
"It's a sucker's bet," Katie replied and Gwen nodded in agreement.
"They look like a married couple," Gwen said amused since she could see Harold, Geoff, and DJ chuckling and thinking about the same thing...
The feelings around the Main Lodge were mixed, with the anticipation of the challenge, concern for Ezekiel and Beth and Heather...mostly Lindsay would be concerned for the latter, who had to deal with the haunted island...
Owen still feels terrified by the curse Beth has brought upon them. What possibly would cause another...
*Baam*
The door was opened, making Duncan and Courtney who were shouting against each other suddenly stop, and glance at the person who just appeared... Duncan slowly blinked as Courtney raised her eyebrow and her mouth dropped...
Bridgette tilted her head but also her mouth was opened in shock.
Geoff who was talking with Harold suddenly stopped, while the nerd also froze and stared at it in disbelief.
DJ looked and then pinched himself to see if he was dreaming.
Lindsay tilted her head in confusion and Owen looked like he saw a ghost.
Gwen and Katie smirked as they were waiting for the right moment.
"Good morning everyone." Trent greeted the group who was staring at him, and noticing that nobody was eating he tilted his head in confusion. "Does something happen with the breakfast?"
Duncan tried to remain serious, he swore he tried... But seeing Trent like that was making him hold his laugh. The same could be said for all members of Killer Bass... Because...
"TRENT THE CURSE GOT YOU," Owen shouted which made the guitarist stare at the big guy confused.
"Curse? What are you talking about?" Trent asked until Lindsay gave a pocket mirror for him to see his reflection, everything seemed to be fine with his face... Until he realized one thing... "Wait. Why my eyebrows are pink?"
"Err... It wasn't just the eyebrow..." Lindsay commented as she gave distance with the mirror, which Trent had his eyes wide open in horror to see his entire hair was pink.
"What the *beeeeeeeep*. " Trent shouted in disbelief as the Killer Bass team couldn't take it anymore... And laughed at the misfortune of the guitarist who had no idea on what happened.
Katie and Gwen gave a hidden fist bump, as the duo laughed until their hearts content.
(Boney Island)
"AHHHHHHHHHH." That was the shout of Beth who was holding herself on the canoe with her whole life. While Ezekiel and Heather were using the oars to push and get speed by using the canoe to slide over the solid ice like a bobsled.
The force both were doing and even taking good teamwork, the speed force was enough to make the travel to Boney Island faster than they ever thought.
"We are almost there. Keep pushing." Heather commanded as Ezekiel was hitting the floor with his oar. Until they got a vision of where the sea would end and there was a lot of snow covering the floor of the cursed island."Alright, we are going to jump right here, on three we are going to use the canoe speed to make it continue sliding on land. One, two...Three"
The trio used their oars to hit the solid ice at the same time which was a good timing to make the canoe lift just a few centimeters from the floor.
From solid ice to the fluffy white snow, the trio were at a fair speed which made their objective even easier than they ever expected.
"Alright we are already on the island, let's keep up the speed," Heather said as they were still sliding, but with a bit more resistance since they weren't more in solid ice, they had to keep using the oars to keep pushing with more force to have enough speed.
Seeing the dangerous island that once tried to kill them at the moment they got in there for the first time becoming covered in whole snow and ice shades around... That was something the trio and neither people who were watching at the pay-per-view ever expected to see in the first place.
"Keep pushing. And don't distract yourselves, we never know if we had those mutant diabolical monsters around here." Heather commanded, while Ezekiel could see her as a bossy girl, her concerns were valid.
So the green hat boy took his quiver and compound bow near his legs just in case he would need it.
The resistance still made them slow down... But it was way faster than they started than the first time.
"If we find the two paths again, we go on the right, it's the safest from them both. It's longer but the best to go." Ezekiel's instructed and Heather nodded her head.
"Alright, Beth, you check for the way. If you see the path, you inclinate your body for right." Heather instructed the farmer girl who nodded her head in determination.
There were skulls frozen from all the places, even the spears were like ice-shaped spears covered in both snow and ice. And the threes with their covered leaves holding the snow around, were paller than the first time they got in... Still, it was easy to see from their constant movement with the canoe, sliding around... But then the time they continue to look for the way... Suddenly a tree also started failing in their direction.
"WATCH OUT," Ezekiel exclaimed as the trio moved their towards to push to a side and make the canoe slide a bit away from the tree... Almost hitting them... Ezekiel feared that moment, and by the time they were moving, they heard the loud quick steps of the animals... "If the tree fell down, that means."
"MONSTER BEAVERS AGAIN," Heather shouted as she pointed in the direction of now red-eyed creatures, and from their fur, every single one of the beavers was now with white fur covering their bodies. "OH GREAT, NOW THEY ARE ALBINO BEAVERS NOW."
Heather shouted and their furs seemed to be double in comparison to the first time the campers went on the boney island.
"HOW THEY CHANGED THEIR COLORS? IT WAS ONLY A FEW WEEKS." Beth shouted as she feared winter creatures now would go after them... Now Ezekiel felt the time that he should prepare his bow and arrows... Now having placed a little surprise on the tip of his arrows, there were the orange inflamable natural little explosives that he took care of having some in emergency of returning to this cursed island, and now it would be the best idea to do it.
"Alright, I'm going to release the ribs, that would give us more time to keep sliding." Ezekiel without thinking twice launched away the frozen meat which from the time they were using the canoe was enough to be enough to be enjoyed by wild animals around... Luckily for the trio, the Albino Beevers went in the direction of the bait and was enough to make the group still sliding towards their objective.
"Where did you get those ribs?" Beth asked loudly as Ezekiel pointed out.
"Today they were remodeling the Kitchen so they had to unfreeze some of the meats, so I took the first opportunity to catch the meat... I think they are now placing a metal door in the kitchen." Ezekiel explained and while Beth looked confused, Heather realized the reason why that happened, her time stealing food from the Kitchen now it will be more difficult.
"I found the split paths. Let's turn right." Beth smiled hopefully as Heather and Ezekiel helped her to use the weight of their bodies to turn in the direction of the safe path, making one of the obstacles easy to deal with... "Now everything is perfect, we can do this."
*THUNDERCLAP*
And at the time the hopeful smile came from the farmer girl, suddenly the trio who were in the middle of snow and sliding like they would never stop... they jumped in their seats scared by one single sound. As swiftly as the snowstorm materialized, it transitioned into a torrential rainstorm, defying the natural order. Raindrops, glowing with an ethereal light, fell in a rhythmic symphony, echoing through the eerie silence. The waterlogged ground groaned beneath the weight of the mystical deluge, and the once-dry terrain transformed into a swampy labyrinth.
The curse's escalation reached its zenith with a sudden shift to a thunderstorm of unprecedented magnitude. Lightning arced across the sky, not in jagged bolts but in serpentine patterns that painted the heavens with a haunting glow. Thunder resonated with an otherworldly cadence, echoing through the twisted landscape and hinting at a power far beyond the understanding of mere mortals.
"HOW IT STARTED TO RAIN LIKE THAT? WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF SNOW?" Heather shouted in disbelief and anger, while Ezekiel also feared on how chaotic the island would have become for the sake of the curse... They were being tested... and the climatic changes would make it much more difficult to deal with the rest of the journey.
(Main Lodge)
Two hours later, the remaining campers returned to the Main Lodge, but by the time they got back, the tables were covered with fancy sheets and with a good presentation of what would be trays above them... The quantity of trays was the same for each camper who was on the challenge.
8 trays on the table with a flag of Killer Bass, and 3 trays on the table with a flag from the Screaming Gophers side.
The starving looks on each camper's face showed how well Chris's methodic and sadistic smile made the group even more wary about what was going to happen to them.
Owen was on point that he would eat something urgently, even wood if he had to... So now it would be the show time that he has waiting for so much to do.
"Welcome campers for the next challenge. What are we about to have it's a challenge that would bring you all the primal and animalistic feelings that most of the humans felt at the time they were born... The desire to eat..." Chris dramatically explained as she pointed to the table and even a special one that he was going to be sitting around. "It's Wicked Palette time."
"Wicked what?" Owen asked as suddenly his stomach roared in such force that echoed throughout the whole Main Lodge... and like some internal communication, the stomachs of other campers also grumbled in hunger, and with the desire to eat anything at that moment.
"No stress..." Chris commented as he pointed at every camper to sit at their tables. "This challenge would require the strongest willpower that you would ever have... since, it's a challenge that we are going to bring 3 irresistible foods, if you succeed at not eating anything, you will be rewarded with a delicious prize."
"So the challenge would be a try not to eat?" Gwen asked as she felt her stomach hurt, and seeing Chris smiling at her, she then discovered his plan. "Oh, you are the devil."
"Thanks. I try." Chris smiled as he could see the group salivating. "Also there is another thing, For every food you try, you also must eat one bite of the punishment food, which I advise you to don't be stupid into doing that... Trust me, you are not going to like it," Chris explained as he could see the cold sweat coming from some campers, especially Lindsay, Owen, and even DJ. "For each member who managed to resist the temptations or even if you got the punishment food and managed to eat all of it... You guys would get a point and also immunity from the elimination happening today."
By saying those words, the campers felt happier to have a better chance to eat something good, but also being freed from the possibility of being eliminated on the day.
However there was one question crossing their minds, and Chris already predicting it decided to confirm their suspicions.
"The participants who are unavailable at this moment will not have immunity from today's challenge, so for their risk, you better win this," Chris explained which made Lindsay in dismay, and the Killer Bass glance at each other in concern. "Now, who is hungry?"
And the music for his ears, the stomach of the campers was the perfect sound for knowing this challenge was going to be the best he thought about it.
Confession - Owen
"I cannot wait for food... I'm starving, look at me." Owen said as he pointed to the chubby feature he has around his body. "I didn't eat anything in hours. HOURS... I swear, I'm about to eat everything in the next few minutes, and I don't care how terrible the punishment would be... I want to eat it."
Confession - Owen
Now covered in vomit, showing the possibility of the camper being around there when the challenge was over and his eyes looking traumatized...
"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?" Owen shouted as he tried his best to not vomit again, and looked at the reflection of the bad decisions he made. "WHY DIDN'T I WAIT IT UNTIL THE END?"
Every camper was sitting on their respective seats, and glancing around between nervous but also hungry about the challenge they were about to participate in.
"Alright, everyone." Chris smiled as he sat on his personal table with a very good tray waiting for him to open and enjoy the challenge. "You can now open your trays while I will describe the food you are about to salivate... You have to wait for me to finish my dish to then we go on the next tray. I hope you guys are ready... now you can open it."
The first dish: Under the first gleaming silver cover was a mountain of succulent, slow-cooked BBQ ribs. The rich, smoky aroma filled the air, and the contestants could practically hear the sizzle and crackle of the perfectly glazed meat. Their mouths watered, and the tantalizing scent seemed to play tricks on their senses.
Owen felt his mouth create a river as he could see the smoky smell playing with him...
"Now, who would like to have a very succulent, slow-cooked BBQ ribs? Combined with a very sweet creamy and dreamy butter and great herbs to make it so irresistible to ... OWEN." Chris was describing the delicious food until he saw the fat boy without thinking twice, he was eating the first dish like he was making love with it... And the campers who were trying to resist the temptations of starvation, they suddenly saw Owen doing such horrendous thing, that some even closed their eyes to not witness that.
Confession - Bridgette.
"And because of that, I thank God I'm vegetarian. Because I would have been traumatized to never eat meat again, but since I'm already vegetarian, I wouldn't need to be that disgusted... but Owen should at least use a napkin. That was horrible." Bridgette explained as the static showed the challenge already started hard. "If most of the foods would be meat ones, I think it will be easy for me to resist."
*buzzer sound*
"It seems that Owen already got his first buzzer... so that means that he would need to eat one bite of his punishment food," Chris said annoyed, but he already expected that... So he cleared his throat to continue the explanation. "The barbecue sauce comes with many expectancies, so be prepared for the smell and the tender desire to eat it."
And the view of the food was one thing that most of the campers couldn't help but see their stomachs begging to eat at least one bite... And Owen, who seemed to be happy to finish his ribs already, felt like a kid who just drank a cup of water when thirsty.
"Alright, can't wait for the next tray," Owen said as he rubbed his hands in excitement.
"Err, big guy? You know that it's trying not to eat challenge right?" Duncan said loudly as he himself would have fallen from its temptations if wasn't for that disgusting view of Owen eating ribs in such a manner.
"I'm starved. And I already lost it... So I'm going to eat the punishment with one bite..." Owen said with his determination in his head, and Chris couldn't help but giggle from the nativity of the fat boy.
"Well, if you guys are so happy to stare... Let me... hmmm, oh, that's wonderful." Chris started to dig the food by himself, and the campers could hear him eating while it wasn't as disgusting as Owen did, it was still annoying because of how the teases the host was doing for everyone on the show.
"Okay, you are vegetarian, you are vegetarian," Bridgette commented to herself, as she stared at the brown smoking treasure staring at her, the liquid of Barbecue Sauce was indeed dropping in front of her, but she still said her mantra-like she is a fortress on that moment.
"Are you okay dude?" DJ asked as he glanced at Geoff liking his lips.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Geoff tried to remain positive, as he felt his hand almost approaching the ribs, and he quickly took it off the table. Seeing DJ looking at him in concern he gave a nervous laugh. "Hehehe... I'm strong, I can take it."
"I'm literally shaking with indecision right now," Gwen said as she could feel her trembling, and looking at how delicious it sounded from both Owen and Chris, she was half tempted by the first dish. "It's going to be a long challenge."
"It smells really good," Courtney whispered, as she could see the cruelty of the challenge, and having a dry gulp, she felt like her stomach was howling to eat something, anything at that moment.
"Ribs look so amazing," Harold said as he was almost feeling the taste in his mouth. "I really want to eat it, Chris."
"Then do it Harold. It's even better the taste." Chris said as he finally finished a few ribs and cleaned his face. And Harold held himself together to stop himself from eating it... "Alright, it seems you guys started strongly... unless Owen, I did expect that... So now we can start for the next tray."
Killer Bass: 8 / Screaming Gophers: 2
The first tray was a very difficult challenge for the Killer Bass... Only Owen from Screaming Gophers had failed the first challenge of the show... but now with another tray being brought by Chef who was wearing a more fancy suit... he glared at the campers who dared to make fun of him, and stopped them to even trying to make a joke.
"Now for the next tray... Creamy Mac 'n' Cheese with 4 types of cheese." Chris said as the group watched in disbelief, a bubbling cauldron of creamy mac 'n' cheese. The golden, cheesy crust beckoned to the starving contestants, and the gooey strands of pasta seemed to stretch endlessly. The scent of melted cheese and buttery goodness hung in the air, tempting even the most disciplined eaters.
"*beep*," Bridgette said as she herself wanted to eat something... and the creamy cheese was calling for her name.
"This type of Mac'n'Cheese was something I thought wouldn't be good, but the person who made it insisted I was going to love it, so I have to give it a try... There are 4 types of cheese marked around the description, but I decided to ignore it... And from the smell of it... I know that I'm going to have a great time with this." Chris smiled as he finally gave a conclusion about the dish, and he started digging into it... "Oh, GOD. YES, This is perfection..."
Owen says Chris finally ate the food, didn't waste time, and decided to enjoy Gouda cheese, Blue cheese, Provolone, and Monterey Jack... It was a paradise of cheeses and something that he never thought he would have for a long time.
Owen got so struck by the food that his mouth was drooling in pleasure, and he wasn't the only one... Chris was loudly exclaiming about the taste, the texture, and the delicious torture the other campers had to endure.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE," Lindsay shouted as she took a fork and decided to give a bite herself... And at the time her tongue touched the marvelous combination of Mac'n'Cheese, she felt her entire body melt like she was floating in the pleasure of good food... And didn't stop it, until she finished her dish.
*buzzer sound*
*buzzer sound*
The loud buzzer sounds made the campers stare at the group who was so focused on eating something tasty leaving the guitarist looking at his own team in dismay.
"Come on guys, I know that this food looks delicious, but we have to win the challenge today..." Trent said as his own stomach was feeling hateful against himself, for not also thinking about eating food at that moment. "You guys may lose the good opportunity to get the immunity of the challenge today. And we can send Beth for bringing the curse to us..."
At the time Lindsay was happy to eat her food... She froze... and then gave an indignant glare towards Trent who still looked ridiculous with his pink hair... So she had a plan in her head...
"Why don't you taste it, Trent? It's so amazing that I would have another one right now, you gotta try that." Lindsay said as she raised her fork with food in his direction.
"Hey, what are you doing? You can have the food, just drop the fork." Trent said in alarm as he gave a few jumps away from the blond girl.
"It seems that today is going to be another easy victory for us right boys?" Duncan smiled as he could see the torture happening on the other table, but then he just heard some strange noises on his side... And to his dismay... Trent and DJ were already down with their desires. "DUDES,"
"Sorry Duncan, it's too strong," Geoff said as he could melted from the sweet cheese that he was having at that moment.
"Yeah, it tastes so good that I can imagine it was momma who made it," DJ commented as he felt the amazing cheese food getting inside of his stomach.
*buzzer sound*
*buzzer sound*
And with that two marks appeared on the members who will have to eat the punishment food. Bridgette could see the sounds of pleasure coming from her teammates, and she was slamming her head on the table so strongly, that she wanted to feel pain at that moment. And from Chris's expression, he is slowly eating the Mac'n'Cheese which would mean it would take a few more minutes of torture, and the campers seemed to break in any moment... Begging whoever was watching them to make their tortures end.
"Come on guys... Just one more food... After this one, we can win." Courtney said as she felt her mouth salivating, but she was using the power of her mind to make herself strong... Harold was about to bail, but the C.I.T. girl slapped him in the face. "GET YOURSELF TOGETHER MAN."
"Right, you are right." Harold still with a red mark on his face, shook his head, and ignored the hunger and loud sounds of his stomach.
The Killer Bass is doing that not just for themselves, but for their team member who is endangering himself over the next island, and some even were praying for his safety.
(Boney Island)
"THIS RAIN IS IMPOSSIBLE," Beth said as she was freezing and paling from the chaotic environment happening in the place... Her hair was even turned into ice, and she was feeling most of her skin becoming blue.
"We are almost there... I can see the beach from before." Ezekiel instructed as he himself felt his winter hat soaked, and his own blouse freezing from the ice around him...
"Come on..." Heather said as she was also on her limit, and from the thunderstorm and rain pouring around them, the trio was exhausted, hungry, and freezing.
But what it took the longest 20 minutes of their lives, they finally reach the beach where Beth found the cursed item... And by some miracle, the thunders and bolts of lightning just stopped at that moment, and from the strong rain... finally ceased... To show the sun once again... But this time, the sun was covered with a cloud... which was a permission of the island giving time for them to finish their objective.
"Okay, we may have a break from the rain and the snow, I think that's the best time for us already do the altar and prepare the bonfire," Ezekiel instructed as he got off from the canoe.
"Which isn't a bad idea, I would love some heat at this moment," Heather complained, but she finally could place her feats into a solid rock. There were a lot of rocks and wood on the floor after the tempest around the Island... which would be the perfect material for the altar. "Are you sure that we need to make an altar?"
"We need to do this," Ezekiel said as he took a few solid logs and even some rocks, and was followed by Beth. "Beth, make it resistant, and strong enough to hold the Tiki. I'm going to make a bonfire."
"And we would need to have a big bonfire, and quickly," Heather said as she found some rocks, and logs but also some vines which made her have one idea. "Beth, there are some vines, use them to hold the rocks and the wood together."
"Alright. I think I know how I want to make it." Beth smiled as she quickly went to each place the duo seemed to be so concentrated over the altar that they turned their backs for one minute.
*BOOM*
The explosion made both Beth and Heather jump in the distance and stare at one dead tree on the floor now lit up from the explosion, and with the few marks of the snow melting away. Ezekiel was with his compound bow in a safe distance, and now with a smile on his face... The tree trunk would be a good use for the now the bonfire.
"How did..." Heather stared at him in disbelief, but then she saw Ezekiel showing the same orange ball Izzy had used on the challenge and a Lighter Duncan who also used to make the fire on the next challenge. "You are crazy..."
"To survive in the show, you sometimes must do the craziest ideas... You would be surprised at how crazy ideas would work." Ezekiel didn't take that as an insult. He just told her the facts, for people who watched the show of total drama, all seasons and generations... That was one of his personal rules at the time he gave his signature to participate in the show.
Heather looked at the boy weirdly, but noticing that they had fire now, she really needed some heat to help her at that moment.
Ezekiel also felt happy to have something to warm himself up... knowing that he didn't kill a tree but using one already on the floor was a good way to make himself a good conscience that everything was working fine for their objective... he just prayed for the time of Hawaii curse from Ridonculous Race, would be similar as the way they are trying to undo the curse.
"Got it... I think it's perfect." Beth said as the duo looked at the improvised altar with a little hole, a place which would fit perfectly the little Tiki. The rocks combined with the wood made it like it would be similar to adventure movies.
Both Heather and Ezekiel looked at the construction with surprise and interest, as it also had another stick point which had enough space for another artifact.
"Okay, it looks perfect Beth. Now your gift for the island." Ezekiel explained as he then glanced at the farmer girl who was taking from her pocket... A lipstick which made Ezekiel glance at the Queen Bee...
"Lindsay found out that Beth never had any makeup, so she gave the lipstick for her. So it's the first lipstick she ever had."Heather explained which made Ezekiel understand and nod his head in approval.
"Makes sense. Let's just hope it does work." Ezekiel explained as the duo watched Beth calmly close her eyes and pray for the island not to cast its curse on them...
Beth carefully places the makeup she got from her first friends...and slowly places it in the perfect place, hoping for the wrath of the Island to finally come to an end...
And slowly... The darkness around the clouds became clearer and the sun slowly got away from the clouds...
And Ezekiel gave a relieved sigh, and Heather felt the satisfaction of their problems finally being over. And Beth felt herself freed from all her worries...
She was freed from the curse...
"Finally some sun..." Heather commented as she could see the time they would be away. They already have the boat ready for their trip back home. And even if the water was frozen solid at the beginning, they could have a good speed to paddle back to camp and eat something. "Let's go back to camp. I can't believe I'm going to say that, but I can't wait to eat Chef's food today."
"Of course," Beth said as she was already prepared to push the canoe for Ezekiel and Heather. "Let's get back to camp."
Ezekiel looked around with a smile on his face. He placed back his bow on his back. And helped Beth to push the canoe on the solid ice. Without looking back, Ezekiel was happy to finally break out of the curse of an island and that way make sure that Beth wouldn't suffer the terrible effects of the curse in the long run...
It took a minute for the group to have enough speed to use the solid ice as a slide and go directly to the water. Just for the sake of paddling back to the island, and having a good journey and a light mind of their conscience... Ezekiel was happy to finally finish his part of the deal... He knows that in the future the favors he will need for the sake of playing smart the long game.
He just hoped that his team would be fine...
(Main Lodge)
"Wow, this was fantastic. I have to say, this chef rocks..." Chris said loudly as Chef who had a loud white mark of a hand on his face, groaned in anger as he placed the final trays around the tables... There was something odd about the looks of the campers, but the Chef remained quiet and finished his job of placing all the food on their tables. "Wow, she knows how to make Chef behave... Anyway campers, here is your final challenge a Sweet Potato Pudding and a Mango Cheesecake."
At the time the trays were opened, there were two descriptions of what just happened... Owen immediately devoured with one bite, by placing his mouth on the table... Katie's sweat dropped as she was feeling so sweaty and almost on the verge of breaking it... DJ titled his head, since those foods were familiar, but also a great choice he would have in his childhood... And Geoff already knew that he couldn't take the prize food... So he just decided to eat it anyway.
"GEOFF." Courtney and DJ shouted as the hat party boy didn't listen to them, and when the sweat touched his tongue, he never felt so happy to eat something so good. He didn't regret it.
*buzzer sound*
"And there is also another one who got himself caught from the desire of eating something delicious like that. And looking at Owen..."
"Hummm... I'm way ahead of you." Owen felt satisfied after eating the final piece of the dessert and was so happy that nothing could mess up his day.
*buzzer sound*
"And there goes Owen," Trent said with a facepalm, knowing that soon for the sake of Owen's survival, the elimination votes would just come up for probably Lindsay, Beth, and Heather. So he would just need to resist one more food... And he would win the immunity... But his stomach was hurting so much, that even the sweet smell of the food was driving him crazy.
Gwen was almost giving up... From the look of the food, she would kill to have anything to eat... She was glancing at the pudding and cheesecake, and she could swear that suddenly she saw both of them creating eyes.
"Gwen... Gwen... eat us... eat us..." The desserts were calling her name, and their desire to be eaten... The goth blinked and shook her head, just to see the image of the food blinking at her. "Why don't you eat us?"
"Err..." Gwen looked at her food, and suddenly she felt a slap on her face. "What... what? What."
"You just got knocked out..." Katie commented as she herself was staring at her food fearfully. "I was hearing you mumbling in deep voices like you were playing with the food... And I think it was the time to wake you up."
"Thanks, Katie," Gwen said as she smiled at the tan twin... And the food in front of them was really something that they never imagined to have to fight against... even their strongest will was on the verge of breaking... "Please Chris finish your food."
Chris was eating the dessert slowly, and the sounds of moan of delight at the food were making DJ gulp at the desserts which looked so familiar to him, but seeing his friend also who was enjoying eating it... He decided to give it another bite.
"No, DJ, don't do it," Bridgette commented, but the Jamaican was on his limit, and ignored her...
By eating it... DJ felt that the dessert was delicious but also familiar to him, it was like it came from his country, and from the person who cooked for him... Until his eyes went wide open in shock.
*buzzer sound*
"Wait a minute... Chris, where did you get the food?" DJ said in alarm, as he could see the evil smirk from the host, who just finished eating the delicious Jamaican dessert in front of the other campers.
"Congratulations, Gwen, Courtney, Harold, Bridgette, Katie, Duncan and Trent. You all resisted the temptations of the most terrifying and willpower challenge until this day... Now I'm here to bring you all a big surprise. You all are free from elimination in case your team loses, and we have a special reward for you all... Now, you can bring her Chef Hatchet." Chris smiled as he proceeded to stay up, as the Chef walked calmly carrying a big cart of food, which even Interns were carrying the other carts of food to place over the table... "Now here comes the surprise, we tried to find recipes to make this challenge the tempting is it was... so we gave a call to some people... but there was one person who not just gave the recipe, she offered herself to be the chef of this challenge, because she wanted you all to try her food in case she would cook for her boy..."
DJ felt his heart stop, as he felt the sweat all over his face...
"Coming directly from Jamaica, DJ's Momma." And at the time Chris annunciated it... A woman wearing a scarlet chef uniform, and even with an apron of yellow, black, and green colors with white letters written 'Momma's in control', she was holding a good kitchen knife, and her iconic flowered hat appeared on the television, and the dismay of the son who was seeing her after so long.
"MOMMA," DJ called loudly, as he went to hug his momma, but suddenly he was slapped in the face. "Ouch."
He looked at his mom in confusion, until she pointed to her lips, which DJ just realized that there was still food on his face... and he remembered that he lost the willpower to help his friends... And from seeing her eyes narrowing and slowing shaking her head, he felt his heart wreck... the look of a disappointed mother... it was the best if he desired to die at that moment.
"Ouch," Geoff said as he could see how strong that woman must be, even Duncan would have made fun of it, but looking at her sharpened eyes on him, he preferred to not make fun of it. The boys gulped at the presence of such an intimidating woman with a knife in her hands.
Gwen, Courtney, Katie, and Bridgette smiled and were awed by how the Jamaican mom showed how she could have authority over the boys...
"Anyway, I thank you so much for your participation Cl..." Chris was about to comment, but the woman raised her hand which made him stop.
"Call me Momma, or DJ's mom." The Jamaican woman walked towards in front of Chef Hatched who was still trying to glance away. "Next time you decide to use paprika at the wrong time, you will not get a slap, you will receive a past roll in your face."
"Yes, Momma," Chef said, knowing that even with his military patent he would never hurt someone's mother, but also somehow the way she stared at him, made him gulp fearfully.
"Anyway, thank you for giving your participating and doing that for free... Your help made this challenge very fun to watch, and I cannot wait for how you are going to surprise everyone around..." Chris smiled as he went back to his table. Knowing that day he was going to eat like a king, and truthfully, DJ's momma didn't come to play, she went to show her skills. Because at the time 6 trays appeared on the table, he was already excited to know what was prepared for him. "Now we can open..."
At the time the trays were in front of the starving campers, who seemed to be on the verge of despair... their eyes watered... at the view of something so beautiful, and DJs watched with wide surprised eyes and even regretted the banquet that they are going to have it.
"The Caribbean Fusion Feast." DJ's Momma explained as every single camper who managed to hold themselves felt a shrive of pleasure of the name of the feast... "It's a thing I do for each decade for my family. For the people who managed to go until here without eating anything. You have Jerk Chicken Skewers, Coconut Rice and Peas, Ackee and Saltfish Empanadas, Plantain Paradise Platter, Mango-Pineapple Salsa, and for the finale... Momma's Special Rum Cake."
At the time she started to explain the names of the foods... Every single member of the winners couldn't believe their eyes and immediately began to eat the feast.
Duncan, Harold, started with the Jerk Chicken Skewers
Tender and flavorful jerk chicken skewers, marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and herbs, deliver a kick of Jamaican heat to the platter. The smoky essence of the grill mingles with the tropical breeze, transporting contestants to a Caribbean barbecue paradise.
Bridgette as a vegetarian knew that she would love the marvelous food from DJ's mom, by going to the Plantain Paradise Platter. A medley of ripe and fried plantains, served alongside a zesty tamarind dipping sauce, offers a sweet and savory side to the feast. The caramelized plantains provide a delightful contrast to the savory elements on the plate. Then later she went directly for the Mango-Pineapple Salsa, A refreshing mango-pineapple salsa adds a burst of tropical sweetness and acidity, creating a vibrant and colorful topping for the jerk chicken skewers. The fruity notes balance the bold flavors of the Caribbean Fusion Feast.
Katie started with Coconut Rice and Peas: A bed of fluffy coconut-infused rice and hearty kidney beans, seasoned with thyme and scallions, adds a comforting and authentic touch to the feast. The sweet and savory combination complements the other elements on the plate.
Trent was also having a great time eating his food, Ackee and Saltfish Empanadas were something that he never thought he would love to eat first: A fusion twist on traditional Jamaican flavors, flaky empanadas are filled with the classic Caribbean pairing of ackee and saltfish. The golden pastry encases the succulent mixture, creating a delightful handheld treat.
After eating everything, Courtney and Gwen let out pleasure sigh of satisfaction after eating the most delicious dessert that they hadn't had for a while. And one DJ looked away guilty... The momma's special rum cake. A slice of DJ's Momma's special rum cake takes center stage. Moist, decadent, and infused with Jamaican rum, the cake serves as a sweet homage to the island's culinary traditions. Each bite is a celebration of the rich cultural tapestry woven into the cuisine.
That was paradise, and Chris was in a food coma from all the awesome and delicious food he ever had for free... He loved his job.
The Chef and the interns were also satisfied with helping the Jamaican woman to cook, as they also could have time to eat their food as well, and nothing could be said against the amazing cook that woman brought on the challenge.
DJ felt defeated... knowing that this type of feast would just happen when every 10 years because while he and his momma loved to cook... doing a feast like that would bring a lot of stress, so that's why she would only do that in special occasions... and DJ felt disappointed for not make his momma proud of his determination... He just wished that nothing could be worse than that...
Owen just saw all that food, and he went to his knees... and looked vague at the space.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." The fat boy shouted as he saw that the good feast was away from him, and he couldn't eat it, not even a tiny bite...
Lindsay felt also sad for not having the right to eat the cooking since it looked so appetizing... Geoff had to take off his hat because he may have been a bit guilty of starting to be the weak link and making his friend lose the right to eat his mom's food... that would be a powerful punch in the gut...
Chris got up from his seat and now it was the best part of the show.
"Killer Bass, Screaming Gophers. From the challenge since the beginning. The number of people who failed towards such temptations became the equal number. Geof and DJ, you ate the food you are not supposed to eat, Twice... Lindsay while you just ate Mac'n'Cheese once, Owen passed the whole challenge of eating the foods on the table... Which makes you all Killer Bass: 20 / Screaming Gophers: 5... So now it comes to the punishment food, and the second part of the challenge." Chris smiled as he could see the evil smirk from Chefs and the solemn face of DJ's momma sitting on the table of the Killer Bass... And with 4 trays... which DJ felt like a bad Omen, and Geoff gulped dryly at what was about to happen. "For people who had great food, and don't wish to throw up... We are going to open it... and Chef will explain the punishment food, while I will get the hell out of here."
"Was it that terrible?" Gwen asked, and at the time Chef opened it... it showed a yellow pancake... a strong yellow pancake... and on the side a little bottle of yellow liquid... which made Gwen's mind process, her mouth almost gag. "No, no way. I'm out."
Duncan, and Harold, quickly jumped from their seats, and not wanting to lose their food, they ran away the fast as possible. Katie almost vomited on that place... Courtney and Bridgette looked horrified and couldn't help but express their opinion...
"EWWWWWWWWWWW." Both said as they looked at DJ and Geoff who looked like saw a ghost... And Chris already went outside of the Main Lodge, because he would prefer to watch the video when he isn't full of food and ready to vomit...
"Alright maggots... This is fresh dirty pancakes... it's recently made with our interns, and to be honest I don't want to imagine how they taste like, they are nasty... So here are the rules. For one bite you have it and swallow it without vomit for 5 seconds will make one extra for your team... Eat it as a whole, you will have 10 points and you will get immunity from elimination." Chef Hatchet explained as he slowly took one of the yellow liquid bottles, and placed it slowly in front of Owen. "Hope you like it, hunter..."
Owen for the first time, felt his face becoming green... because while he ate many nasty things... that would be the first time he would actually eat something made by... pee...
"This must be illegal in some way," Trent said in alarm, but suddenly he saw the contracts in the hands of Chef Hatchet.
"It's on the contract... now if you are not going to help your team... then shut the hell up," Chef shouted, which made the guitarist stop talking.
Owen stared at the yellow food, and even the yellow liquid above it... And knowing that he himself dug his own grave... he had to finish what he started... So he took his fork... and with a powerful trust on the table, made the remaining people stare at the chubby camper closing his eyes, and gave a bit bite of the food, all the pancakes soaked in yellow to his throat...
Owen for the first time gagged... almost vomiting all the food he ate... but striving in displeasure, and even against all his might... he gave a loud swallow, and with that made DJ and Geoff lose their cool, and their stomachs. They went outside to vomit all the food they had taken before. And Trent who was on there, almost threw up for seeing such a bad view..
After eating it... Chef took his clock, and waited carefully at Owen who looked defeated, and like he was sick... And after 5 seconds of silence, Chef nodded his head.
"Alright fat boy, you passed it, you got 10 points for your team and are free from elimination tonight." Chef nodded his head, but by the time he turned his head, Owen ran quickly outside to just vomit everything he just at in the last 3 minutes.
His eyes focused on the last 3 contestants who were still looking afraid but also disgusted from seeing such a scene.
Trent looked at that scene in disbelief so he looked at the blond girl who was with her eyes closed.
"Come on Lindsay, you need to eat the whole pancake to have 10 points before they start giving their bites." Trent shook Lindsay who refused to see.
"Ew, no, ew, no, there is no way I'm going to eat that. It's pee..." Lindsay said as she was pushing the plate away from her.
Trent looked left and side so he came up with a good idea.
"Hey, he was just kidding, this isn't pee, it's just apple vinegar which looks similar to urine." Trent lied which made Chef, Geoff, and even DJ look at the guitarist with their eyes wide open and raised their eyebrows with the knowing look. Even DJ's momma with her disappointed look shook her head in disapproval. "What? We need to win this game."
"Really? So it's all a lie?" Lindsay said as she looked at the plate in front of her, while she doesn't like much vinegar, it would have been far better than actual urine...
"Yeah, it's just vinegar, come on, give it a try," Trent said quickly as even took a fork to cut a piece to make Lindsay have a taste...
At the time Lindsay placed it inside of her mouth, she felt her face contorting, the citric acid and the sourness in her mouth. Made her contort in pain.
"OH MY GOD," Lindsay shouted as she felt Trent keep pushing more and more bites into her mouth. Making her start gagging... Everyone in the room was looking at that scene in horror, as possibly every viewer of the show was becoming horrified to see something like that. The yellow pancake was shoved until none was on the plate.
"Done," Trent said, as Chef looked at that scene, but by the rules he placed the clock near the blond bombshell who was trembling, and with her face green...
"1,2,3,4,5... I will be dammed. But the girl didn't vomit. Okay, you all got more than 10 points." Chef said as he was both impressed and disgusted by the way a person used his teammate to have more points.
"Yeah." Trent smiled and raised his fist in victory...
"Also girl... he lied to you, it's really piss." Chef Hatchet made sure to make Lindsay understand that she was manipulated and in the moment. Lindsay froze and stared at the plate in horror. And slowly turned her head to the pink-haired boy, who was smiling sheepishly at her...
The innocent and smiling blond had skulls in her eyes... But her body was in shock at that moment, so her mouth got full of vomit, and she splashed all the contents of her stomach on Trent's face... Making him scream in terror just like her as both ran away outside from the main lodge...
Confession - Lindsay.
"DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIEEEEEEEEEE." Lindsay with her face covered in vomit, was stabbing a picture of the guitarist's face with a kitchen knife... "I SWEAR IF THIS *BEEEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEEEEEEEP* *BEEEP* still is on this show. I'M GOING TO RIP HIS *BEEEP* AND *BEEP* BECAUSE THIS *BEEEEEEEEEEEP* AND THAT'S FINAL."
Chef stared in amusement at the pink-haired boy leaving the place with a girl still vomiting on him, and he stared at the duo who seemed to still be afraid to do anything.
"Alright boys. It's your last chance, if you guys don't manage to get at least 6 bites, then your team will lose the challenge." Chef explained as he could see the anticipation and the fear in the boys' eyes. He was smiling from seeing their fear, and he wanted to see the outcome of the challenge.
The Jamaican giant looked to his side, to see the only person who was afraid of, his pillar and biggest motivator. And the face of sweat and fear on her face made DJ heartbreak... Because she never wanted that for her son... But DJ did it of his own volition, and for the sake of his team to win... He needed to also eat everything, and Geoff as well.
The Killer Bass had won so many challenges before, and seeing that they made a mistake, they wouldn't just risk their victory, but also the possibility of their friend also going to elimination because of them...
Both of them looked at the yellow pancake... And seeing that it was the only way to do it... It was the time for their punishment.
"Momma, you can wait outside, you wouldn't like to see this." DJ stared at his food, and the Jamaica mother knew that it would traumatize her to see her baby boy doing something so terrible like that. So she left the place immediately...
Now that they were alone... DJ slowly took his fork, and Geoff followed his steps, and with the piece of food in their forks, they even glanced at each other.
"Cheers." Both said in unison and gave a try to place on their mouths.
"What the hell have you been eating and drinking?" DJ said as he felt the utter disgust of eating the yellow pancake.
"Protein shake with some vegetables, a lot of lemonade, and even some energy drinks," Chef said as he could see their faces contorting with pain, giving some dry cough and flinching in pain for each bite.
"I'm so glad Momma isn't here," DJ said as he was feeling his stomach cursing him for being stupid, or even his own being promising payback for not being a good boy to his momma, it was like the worst thing he ever eaten on his whole life. "UGH."
"Okay, just one more bite." Geoff was feeling his stomach rebelling against himself, and he was sweating a lot, he felt that soon he would vomit, so he needed to be fast. "Come on body, just more this once…"
"OH GOD," DJ shouted as he felt the part of the pancake touching his uvula, and he was on the verge of vomiting… "Please, come on… hold it, for 5 seconds."
3 Bites, something it would take 5 minutes… it turned out to be an hour inside of their own heads… It has been relatively torture inside of their own bodies.
"Why? WHY DID I DO THAT?" Geoff shouted as he finally placed his head on the table, after eating the third bite of the pancake still warmed with the yellow liquid…
"Now, you need 5 seconds boys." Chef smiled evilly, and with the clock on their side… the challenge has been torture from the beginning to the end… And by every second, it seemed like a minute inside of their stomaches… They wanted to vomit the fast as they could, but they had to remain strong… And it was almost impossible at that moment. "1,2,3,4,5…"
DJ's face became palled, and Geoff was with his face green like vomit, and each second was immeasurable inside of their own hearts…
And when the final second was done. Chef took both their arms and raised them to the air.
"AND THE WINNER OF THE CHALLENGE IS THE KILLER BASS," Chef said loudly, and at that moment, both DJ and Geoff vomited… as a conclusion of the said challenge.
(Camp in front of the cabins)
One hour had passed over the challenge, and the Killer Bass team was still trying to not look straight at DJ and Geoff who seemed to be traumatized from their bad experience of the challenge. DJ's momma was there to give her own son support for himself, drinking something to clean his stomach and even for Geoff who was finally happy to have something to take the bad taste of his mouth.
On the Screaming Gopher side, Owen was still in the fetal position for eating the worst idea of food ever made and losing the amazing dishes for being unable to control himself. It was a mistake, but now it was everything over. Lindsay was hunting Trent around, but the poor boy was hiding in the bathroom.
Chris was smiling satisfied with the victory and the decision to not be on the Main Lodge for the punishment challenge. And when everything was on the verge of getting bored… The group finally heard footsteps which made everyone stare in the distance, and for the happiness of Lindsay and for the Killer Bass team. They found, Ezekiel, Heather, and Beth walking towards their direction… Exhausted, with starvation on their faces. And with impatience as well…
"EZEKIEL," The Killer Bass went quickly to the homeschooled boy, who sat on the place and laid with his back on the floor.
"Heather, Beth." Lindsay quickly went to her friends who were also looking terrible. "Are you both okay?"
"Yeah, we are fine," Beth commented as she felt happy to come back to the camp. "You have no idea how crazy it was… Everything on there was frozen, and then there was a rainstorm with a lot of lightning bolts. It was terrible to go there."
Beth explained quickly that Lindsay was feeling confused by how fast she was talking. But then she felt her face being hugged by the farmer girl.
"Is there any food? We haven't eaten anything since morning. Please tell us you have something for us…" Beth begged as Lindsay didn't know how to say that…
Heather was annoyed, but she didn't have the strength to say anything. She was hungry and she needed anything to eat…
"Well, guys." Then Chris came with a smile on his face. "I have to say that you guys lost the challenge of the day… But since you all went into a very big adventure, which will potentially be awesome to edit later for the episode… I will make an exception… You can have a nice feast where DJ's momma is here to prepare for you all."
Ezekiel blinked, as he then recognized the black woman nearby DJ… his momma was on the island…
"What did I miss? What kind of challenge it was?" Ezekiel still weak in strength asked… The group stared at him before replying. But DJ's momma stopped everyone.
"No, no, no. You can all talk while you three can eat. There is no way that I'm going to let you all starve like that. Now let's go to the kitchen. Chef probably must have cleaned up." DJ's momma commented quickly… And a reason like that made their whole stomachs rumble in agreement…
.
.
.
"So that's how it ends…" Ezekiel explained how their whole morning went, from their challenges and struggles to making the Island accept Beth's sacrifice… The Killer Bass team were palled from seeing how a curse made the whole challenge of what would be less difficult, to go into a level of even the sky would be against you…
Lindsay, hugged Beth as she cried emotionally to her her best friend doing such sacrifice, and Heather, nodded her head proudly on how their journey came to finally have a good dinner… Heather was enjoying the feast like it was the best food she didn't have for weeks… Since the awake-a-thon, this has been the best food she had so far. She had to give the Jamaicans a thumbs up on how amazing the Caribbean food was.
"Okay, Ezekiel, while I admit what you did was touching, and very courageous. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT." Courtney said as she pulled his ear…
"Ouch, ouch, ouchhhhh." Ezekiel tried to fight against, but his team was looking angrily at him… "
"You got us worried for hours. You could at least have brought anyone with you to give you help." Courtney said as the team nodded their heads to him, but Ezekiel shook his head.
"No, I can't… As I said, this isn't our problem, it was theirs." Ezekiel stomped his foot and remained serious. "I did that as a way for them to explain to us the counting of votes. And having a curse like that around the camp for so long would create terrible consequences in the future."
"Like what?" Harold said curious, that even Chris tilted his head interested as well…
"Who knows? Curse islands can be unpredictable, it can make the whole life of the cursed person unlucky, to a point that even a tiny accident could ban them from a country." Ezekiel shrugged, which made everyone look at him weirdly. "I know, it can be exaggerated… But any of you are willing to risk it?"
And with that, everyone got in silence and agreed with the green hat boy.
"So what about the challenge… how was it?" Ezekiel asked, which DJs and Geoff looked ashamed, Owen looked disgusted and Lindsay looked murderous…
.
.
.
"THE PUNISHMENT FOOD WAS WHAT?" Beth and Ezekiel shouted in horror, while Heather for the first time… in so long, let it out a laugh, a laugh that made Owen terrified of her.
"Hahahahaha." Heather laughed even causing tears from her eyes to get out… And the campers looked at her angrily, but she raised her hand. "That's what you get fat boy. It's not funny when it's with you, isn't it? Now I can see it's true, Beth, we got rid of the curse, we are free now."
And at that moment the campers realized… the pee jar incident… They have to say, that Heather was saved, and to make fun of that situation would be a fair way to make fun of it.
But that smile would come to an end… when Lindsay explained the results of the said challenge… The Screaming Gophers lost… and the only people up for elimination were Beth, Lindsay, and Heather...
Confession – Beth
"So in the end, even if we managed to break the curse and come back to the island, it means that me and Heather and Lindsay are the only ones we have to vote to leave the show?" Beth said as she looked sad, and seeing that everything couldn't be fixed. "Dammit… what Heather can do now? She promised us that we would be top 3… but from my mistake that wouldn't happen…"
That Night at Bonfire
The fire seemed to be burning extra hot tonight, which was a good thing for Heather, and Beth since their experience on the Boney Island was still left some cold on their fits and bodies. The Gophers were still sad that most of them were already with their marshmallows. Owen was sad that another member of his team had to go… Trent was sad that at the moment Heather and Beth saw the look on his face, they laughed so much that Lindsay joined them, but not before kicking his balls with still anger from their attempt and still losing… She now has a big grudge against him… Like most of the campers… The Gophers were once again seen at the bonfire ceremony.
"I've got three Gophers sitting in front of me tonight. Since the other two are with their immunity from the challenge. I only have two fluffy bits of sweet safety in my hands." Chris said while holding up his plate of two marshmallows. "So good luck. The tension now it's on the limit... When I call your name, come up and get your marshmallow. Lindsay."
The blonde girl looked uneasy for her two best friends, and while Heather looked serious, Beth looked guilty knowing the outcomes of the results… Since it was a plan she had before the votes...
And with that, there was a single marshmallow on the plate. The campers remaining without one being Beth and Heather.
"Heather, Beth. It's down to you." Chris said as Beth shook violently and crossed her fingers on both hands with Heather and Beth with their eyes staring at the last marshmallows. "Whoever doesn't get this last marshmallow must immediately walk The Dock of Shame and leave on the Boat of Losers. Forever."
The tension in the air was practically visible as the two girls never tore their eyes off the marshmallow on Chris's plate. Heather remained quiet, as Beth was trying to not cry... "The final marshmallow goes to…" Beads of sweat came down from Beth's forehead while Heather tightened her fist so much that her knuckles started to go white. This dramatic tension kept up until Chris made the announcement. "Heather."
Heather gritted her teeth… As Beth started to cry…
"I'm so sorry for not coming for the final three Heather… But I thank you so much for teaching me and taking care of me…" Beth got up, and quickly gave a tiny hug before releasing it… since the queen bee never liked to be touched…
"Just go…" Heather got up, gave her back, and walked away… Lindsay stared as she also shed some tears, and gave a wonderful hug with her farm friend…
Beth and Lindsay crying and being happy… until Chris pointed at the boat…
"Alright, Beth, time to leave," Chris said, which the farm girl, couldn't help but give a nod, and with a good glance to her team, and even a tiny giggle from seeing the ridiculous pink hair of Trent, before leaving.
"Tell once again Heather I'm sorry." Beth accepted her fate… as a way to undo the curse, she also felt it was needed to sacrifice herself…
Confession – Heather.
"SHE IS NOT MY FRIEND." Heather roared as her red eyes showed the tears that she had been shedding after hearing that everything she worked for, my idea for the final 3 was now trashed. "She has been a stepping stone, someone I would mentor, to use as my pal, someone I know her secrets, and sometimes she knows mine, passing a lot of time together as a trio… OH *BEEP* She is my friend, and I already miss her… *beeeeeeeeeep*"
10 minutes ago…
-Heather.
"I feel that this may be a terrible mistake from me… but whatever…" Heather said as she took a piece of paper where she placed it with big letters… HEATHER on it…"I hope none of them vote in me…"
Ezekiel was dragged out from the cabin, where the team was waiting patiently for the Screaming Gophers' return.
"Why are we here again?" Ezekiel asked until Katie smiled and pointed at Trent who was now using the different colors on his hair and eyebrows... "Pff HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
And with that, another contestant of Total Drama Island has left, and with the merge approaching, who knows who would survive for the next challenge.
