Authors note:
Well guys you know the drill, I had once again to work days on this chapter, and I have to confess... Doing creative chapters like that take too much longer than it should. So I really hope to follow the actual episodes and try to make sure to fit the style and theme...
Also I want to thank everyone for enjoying this fanfic, WE REACHED 100 FAVS, HECK YEAH... So I thank you all for you who loves to read and even uses my fanfic as inspiration for your own works. I wish you all to have a nice time reading this fanfic. And I want you all to have good theories and reviews on what's going to happen after this bonus chapter.
BrightNova169 : Well, I'm going to say this, relax that the curse of the island is broken, so you don't need to worry about the curse... however, every cause has some consequences, and Ezekiel, Beth and Heather will know on how terrible consequences happens when you go into a climatic change island for a whole day. DJ's skills came from Momma so he has almost the same talent and is in pair with his Momma, so that's why both of them would create a restaurant together, however, losing the dinner of 10 years, is something that would be a low blow for him, and we cannot blame him, it was too much pressure. And Owen got what he deserves... Said would be the same from Trent? Who knows? And when? But he is a bit too optimistically ignorant about everything happening. So the backlash will be extreme on him. So he is going to need to do a lot of stuff to ask forgiveness to everyone for what he did... And maybe after watching the videos of himself he will knows on how terrible player he has you for liking the Wicked Palate challenge. I hope to never write a new challenge from scratch again, it took so long, like this chapter as well. I passed days and even weeks planning just for this bonus chapter. And it wasn't even an interlude. Well I hope you enjoy this. And show your future theories about what's about to happen XD.
duskrider Trent is a dead man walking but he isn't aware of it. He is going to learn the consequences of his actions after watching all the episodes he was on. And Lindsay will never forgets about how she had to do that in international television. And I already have some plans for the future, so I hope you like it when it appears XD.
Slayer76 : He is the positive ignorant, the person who had good intentions but he screwed up a long time and he isn't aware of it, when the bomb explodes, he will know that he messed up so badly that it will take so long to recover everything he just destroyed by himself.
Benny Farr :Consequences of the actions dude. If Beth didn't knew how Heather was with all the guns pointed to herself. She would have voted on Trent and both would be tied, which would lead to a confusion for a while. So yeah, Beth voted on herself because she felt guilty for her best friends.
MatiasND :To be honest I watched Trent going crazy in the first season when Cody told him about Gwen having a crush on him, and the first act of the guitarist was to threaten Cody to punch on his face... I think Trent thought for the victory was okay to force himself and the others to go on the extreme, he is the positive ignorant, which he thought that good actions wouldn't have consequences or he is ignorant about it. I plan to develop more on Trent, however when? That's going to be a surprise. I hope you like this chapter.
Day 1:
"ACHO" The sound of the sneeze was enough to make Lindsay get up from her bed in surprise... And seeing on her corner, she was Heather who was trembling and her face showing signals of cold..."Dammit, even after that dammed trip, we still got sick."
"Heather, are you okay?" The blonde girl asked as she saw the effects of the sickness coming at the snobbish brat girl...
"It's just a cold, it's not your problem," Heather said coldly, as she covered herself around the blanket and was feeling too terrible to even move. "Stupid snowing rainstorm cursed island."
Lindsay looked sadly, as she felt bad to see her friend like that, even as annoying as her friend could be. She could see that she cared for Beth, and imagining not just her who must have been sick, she thought about the possibility of Beth also getting sick.
"Well, at least we have 3 days for you to recover, do you want help to take you to the Main Lodge?" Lindsay asked, noticing the half-korean camper was still having difficulty getting up.
"...please," Heather asked for help, knowing that her headache was annoying her, and she was feeling the need to eat something. But the cold made her too weak to even move by herself.
"Don't worry, let me help." Lindsay got down from her bed and slowly decided to help her only friend she had at the competition, missing Tyler and Beth was already making her feel lonely, but now seeing Heather was still with difficulty taking care of herself, she couldn't help but to try to at least make the queen bee go to eat something.
(?)
His body was cold, he was trembling from the cold, since his face was showing a few signs of fever, and headache already affecting him...He was feeling too weak at that moment, and somehow he suddenly found his hand feeling wet... Wet?
Ezekiel slowly opened his eyes, until he realized that he was in an open area, near the beach. And by spinning he saw that his bunker was alone.
"Woah, WOAHHHHHH." Ezekiel shouted as his body movements made him splash on the cold water, with his clothing as well... The feeling of pain was substituted with confusion and anger. And the anger intensified until he saw the culprits who were laughing happily at that moment.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA," Duncan, Geoff, DJ, and even Harold dared to work together into a single prank against him... Their laughing just made Ezekiel's fever get worse but his pain was replaced by hatred, and then his face became serious... "Good morning Ezekiel."
The quartet greeted the homeschooled boy, as he swam towards the beach, and with his face showing no reaction... they were still smiling cheekily at him...
And before anyone would open their mouths... Ezekiel interrupted... Not in anger, but in boredom and coldness...
"Allow me to impress upon you the severe mistake you have made. For years my conduct has been largely benign. And yet, without provocation, you have severed our détente and forced me to unleash upon you the vengeful flames of a thousand suns."Ezekiel was calm, but then the Bass boys suddenly saw the look of hatred upon them, as Ezekiel raised his finger towards the sun, making every single one of them look at each other, not knowing how to react... Seeing Ezekiel getting angry with every second that passed. "You shall curse your mothers for the day of your birth. So, go now, GO."
Ezekiel pointed in the direction of the camp, as his own shout scared DJ who went behind Duncan and noticed that the little boy was not kidding with them. And from the evil smile coming from his face, he knew they screwed up.
"And begin your life of fear, knowing that when you least expect it, the looming sword of Damocles will crash down upon you, cleaving you in twain and as you gaze upon the smoking wreckage that was once your life..."The more Ezekiel talked, the more Harold was pissing his pants, and DJ was gulping in fear, while Geoff had no idea what the boy was talking about, and Duncan raised his eyebrows to not understand the metaphors Ezekiel was talking to him... But then he said one sentence that it gave shrives on their spines. "You will regret the day you crossed the WRONG MAN."
And the group watched Ezekiel give a few more steps...
"THE PRANK WAR IS DECLARED," Ezekiel shouted as he quickly went to his cabin, and brought his towel with him to have a shower to take the cold his body. And somehow deal with the terrible sickness he was having.
The group watched the homeschooled boy leave the place and was unsure of how to respond to it...
"I think he is very angry," Harold said as he could see the look of the other boys.
"No, really? How did you find out? The way he made a speech about destroying us? Or the declaration of the prank war?" Duncan said in sarcasm, which he could be impressed to see the green bean trying to take all of them... "Well, just to be sure, I'm going to prepare some backup pranks in case he goes crazy. Also, I think it's every man for themselves. Or do you guys want to team up?"
"I don't know if I want to be involved man," Geoff said as he was feeling unsure on how to respond on the revenge of Ezekiel. "I'm sure that if he does one simple prank he would stop."
"No dude, you don't understand," Duncan said as he pointed at the cowboy hat boy. "He is up for blood. I think he is going to take this prank war seriously. So just in case, I advise you to prepare yourself, or even team up. Because we have no idea how he is going to attack..."
"I also think he is going to attack us," Harold said as he was preparing himself and looking around. "But just in case, let's make it fair then, teaming up against Ezekiel would be a bit too much, I mean, he came from a farm... how bad he can be?"
"But you also have to remember Harold, Ezekiel is a writer, he created many chapters of Courage the Cowardly Dog, steven Universe, and Adventure Time. He can use his imagination to make anything happen to us..." DJ said as he was in fear. "But I don't know if we should team up... I mean, doing a prank war on these 3 days can be fun... I just hope he doesn't scare us too much."
(Main Lodge)
The time Heather got in front of Chef Hatchet, she saw the look on his face, which showed the typical food in front of her wasn't suitable for her needs, but since she endured so many terrible things on the show, she was used to the disgusting food in front of her...
"Girl, you look awful, whiter than that, you are going to look like a ghost," Chef said the comment which made the still-covered girl snarl at him.
"Can I just take the food? Achoo" Heather said impatiently but she couldn't stop sneezing, which made Chef clean up his face angrily...
"Okay, I'm going to pretend that didn't happen, but you... Should drink a lot of liquid," Chef said as he took a 2 liters water bottle and gave it to Heather. "You should eat, drink a lot of water and then go to bed."
Heather raised her eyebrow at Chef who just said the basic instructions for people who are sick with a cold. But she had a headache to deal with, so in exchange, she just nodded her head and groaned until she placed her food on the table.
A few tables away, Gwen was with her eyes narrowed but also showing a bit of amusement on there.
"What is happened with the Vampire queen?" Gwen asked Bridgette who suddenly glanced in the direction of the Screaming Gophers table, seeing the queen bee actually showed big signs of sickness. But then she blinked at the person who asked that...
"Err... It's kinda strange you being the person asking that, I thought you would be the one to refer to yourself as Marceline." The surfer girl mused at seeing Gwen as her gothic style was addressing Heather as being a vampire. And Marceline is Gwen's favorite character from another of Ezekiel's works.
Gwen paused and then stared again at Heather, there was another reply at that moment.
"Oh hell no, there is no way she would be Marceline," Gwen said in an outburst, as she then saw Heather looking at them both.
"What y... Ah.. ah... Achooo. What are you talking about?" Heather said annoyed. But then she glanced at Lindsay giving some tissues to her clean her nose...
Both Bridgette and Gwen stared in surprise at how awful Heather must have been feeling at that moment. Since she was sneezing a lot, and even some nauseous green coming from her nose.
"Nothing." Both Gwen and Bridgette said quickly as they went back to their food, but now wary of the sickness the queen bee was having at that moment.
Heather grumbled and went back to her food...
Gwen felt relieved as she wasn't part of the Gophers since she would have as her roommate the sickened queen bee. Imagine how terrible would be if one of her teammates would feel sick like that...
Until she realized one thing...
And at that moment, the door was opened, revealing a very worried Katie and Ezekiel who seemed to be in the same state of sickness as Heather and a very pissed Courtney.
"They really have the balls to do that?" Courtney said as she couldn't believe how immature to actually make a bunker going across the beach and dispatch Ezekiel like a boat...
"Courtney, that's enough. The war was declared..." Ezekiel replied as he brought the attention of Katie and the other girls. Seeing Bridgette and Gwen already on the table, was a great time for him to explain. "Just to be sure, I want you all to pass the nights on the Aquarium."
"What do you mean by that? What happened?" Bridgette asked as she could see the unease look from Katie and Courtney.
"The guys decided to make a prank war, and I was the first victim..." Ezekiel explained, taking out the keyword that he was the one who declared war... But even before the girls would even protest in outrage, Ezekiel already had something in mind. "I'm giving you all heads up because tonight the boy's cabin is going to reck... Oh, I swear to God, they will know to not mess with me..."
Ezekiel's determination made the girls glance at each other in surprise, since even sick, Ezekiel could show why he shouldn't be taken lightly...
"So what are you going to do?" Katie gulped as she felt kinda afraid to ask, and looked at the boy who was without his green hat since it was soaked... He could see clearly for his angry expression, that he meant everything he was going to do.
"A stink bomb I named El Mongo and La Muerte," Ezekiel answered, as he was a huge fan of both Ed, Edd n Eddy, but he also was a huge fan of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy... He once when he was a child, he tried to replicate the recipe from both shows at the time he was a child... Without having school... He once tried to do it to a neighbor who was just a teenager who kept playing loud music at midnight... He thought the effects on both shows were exaggerated... until he created it... And one bomb was enough to make the entire neighborhood get affected by the smell... The street was affected by it... And the annoying neighbor had to move himself from that house because he couldn't take the smell. "I once made it to try to repel an infestation of moles... I made the whole farm stink for 3 days."
At that moment, both Courtney palled, as Gwen gulped into imagining how putrid the smell would be for their cabin. Bridgette was both curious but also disgusted to imagine what would be the prank the homeschooled boy had in mind... And Katie palled, as she also could imagine not just the cabin of the boys, but in consequence the cabin of the girls would also be a victim.
"So you think it would be the best if we grab our stuff?" Katie asked hopefully, and with Ezekiel nodding his head to hear, was enough to make that as a sign.
"I also made a whole backpack of my stuff and left it in your cabin too, can you also take it to the aquarium as well? I don't want to see all my drafts smelling like a mix of dog shit, skunk oil, mayonnaise, garlic, durian and..." The more Ezekiel described, the more disgusted the girls felt, and terrified of the possibility of what Ezekiel was about to unleash on the boy's cabin.
"Ezekiel, there is no way that they are going to let you free after you do that?" Courtney tried to act reasonably, but suddenly she saw Ezekiel sneeze...
"Oh, trust me, Courtney... This is me just giving my weakest prank... It's just a little scare for what they did this morning." Ezekiel said that... he just turned his back and went to Chef. From the look of the military veteran, he seemed to be already recognizing that he was feeling sick. "Morning Chef, sorry but you can see..."
"I know, you and the snob brat seemed to have received the effects of dealing with your trip. I have to say, it's the craziest climatic change I've ever seen, so here are your 2 liters water bottle, and you need rest and liquid." Chef interrupted as he gave the meal to the homeschooled writer, but then he saw the shake on his head and raising a paper he gave to the cooker who raised his eyebrows... "What is that? Fish oil? Durian on the microwave? Rotten Cheese?... what are you asking?"
"I'm doing the mother of all stink bombs... the boys of my team just made the first hit on the Prank War, and I'm going to show them, why war never changes." Ezekiel just said those words and suddenly could see the smirk growing evil on the face of the veteran warrior. "Would you like to be the judge of this internal war?"
"Kiddo... I would be honored." Chef had to admit that sometimes he would be bored on the days when there weren't challenges over the camps, but now a declaration of Prank War? He just saw a kid who is asking all the smelling rotten stuff, and from the way he can see... He had experience with gas bombs... But he never actually tried to use non-lethal bombs and what would be the suffering of the others in the same experience he had when he had militaries doing pranks, which caused terrible consequences. "So these ingredients..."
"You can see me making it... I will attack at 23 hours." Ezekiel said the military precision hour, which Chef nodded his head, pleased to see what a kid with a cold and fever would do for a group of boys who have no idea the problems they are going to get with.
Killer Bass, Boy's Cabin... 22:55.
The night was sure, and the paranoia at the quartet of boys who made the mistake of making a simple prank on Ezekiel were now more vigilant since the group was checking if their beds were touched, or even checking their own clothing and luggage... They wanted to make sure nothing was done with it.
And to their surprise, everything was spot on... Less Ezekiel's stuff, and somehow that made the group a bit more afraid of what was going to happen. So in times like that, Duncan had water under his pillow. DJ had a few plans to try to find a way to protect himself against pranks...
Harold was if he could find some nom lethal pranks when it comes to revenge...
Hot sauce, a barber cream from Chris' trash, a father, some simple jokes, but yet, Ezekiel didn't appear in any moment... They hadn't seen him since the morning when he swore his revenge...
"Guys, I think we should make some preparations, one must be on hold to try to protect the others, I will take the first hour." Duncan planned to be sure that somehow the group would need to sleep, so they decided to work together because they weren't sure how Ezekiel would attack.
"I think you are right, maybe he isn't going to attack us... He maybe must be joking." Geoff said optimistically, but even a part of himself is crapping on himself... They saw Ezekiel holding a bow, and he could potentially cause good harm to them if he wanted...
"Geoff, I like your optimism, but even I know that Ezekiel is going to attack us..." DJ commented as he could see the fury in the little boy's eyes, he wanted revenge... and he was afraid to have committed such a mistake...
"Guys, everything is going to be fine, with us taking turns, there is no way Ezekiel would attack us at the same time," Harold said as he was feeling around with the other boys, he was sure Ezekiel wouldn't be crazy to attack all of them...
Until they all saw Ezekiel opening the bedroom with a clothes peg on his nose. And a paper bag in his hand, the said paper bag was tied up, but the boys could see a brown liquid dropping from the said paper, flys around the paper bag like they were attracted to it, and even the smell of death appearing in the air... And like slow motion everyone realizes what it is, and before Duncan catches his water gun, Harold tries to move away, DJ screams like a little girl and Geoff blinks in confusion... Ezekiel launched the paper bag in the air, aiming to be directly in the middle of the cabin... And turning his back, he closed the door shut.
And Chef smiling evily, used his body as weight and wall to make the boys unable to open it again...
The boys watched the paper bag slowly going in the direction of the center of the cabin... Harold and DJ tried to see if they could catch it, but slowly they couldn't be able to approach as the gravity was pulling the paper bag to the center...
"Oh sh..." That was the last words before Duncan realized the outcome of the first prank.
(Screaming Gopher cabin)
The fart mixed with a humid sound was enough to make the whole boy's cabin tremble like an earthquake, and not just the Killer Bass cabin felt the presence of the said earthquake. But even the Screaming Gopher's side felt something strange.
Trent got up from his bed and looked around to Owen.
"Dude, did you fart again?" Trent said as he was used to the chubby boy farts, but somehow something was strange, he didn't feel the smell of the terrible disaster Owen had traumatized the whole team.
"It wasn't me." Owen defend himself, he was also got surprised by the loud fart which sounded like him, but he felt something was also odd... And then he felt a little sniffer in the air, which immediately made him wrinkle his nose. "Oh damn, someone must have eaten rotten food, because it came from outside and it's also coming here."
Trent gave a slight sniff, and he himself almost got gagged... Thankfully both Screaming Goopher had a protocol in case of Owen's farts, and they both used the car deodorant Chef gave them on the time Owen had a disaster with the beans... It was their lifesaver.
(?)
The horrifying smell was enough to appear on Chef's nostrils and even he vomited from smelling the worst smell he had in his life. And looking at the sick boy who just turned his back and left the place... Not wanting to be caught in the aftermath of the first prank... The war was declared, and the boy diabolically created a powerful stink bomb, which he knew the interns would cry at the time Chris asked them to start cleaning that up. And he would be dammed if he dared to open the door... Chef knew that the smell coming after opening the door would lose his entire stomach.
So after doing a quick run at his kitchen... Chef remained quiet... until a part of him, suddenly scoffed... but then he tried to hold his laugh... But he couldn't help it... Just to imagine the horrifying gags the boys would have around that armageddon of stinkiness... There was just one thing to do.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, OH MY GOD, I LOVE MY JOB. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Chef said as he knew he had to call Chris, this was the potential of something funny to do... just for that day, not a challenge. But entertaining just for themselves. "Chirs, pick up, please pick up... Hey Chris."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TWO DID THAT." Chris laughed loudly, as Chef Hatched also started laughing as well... Something like that would be treated as gold on Pay-per-view. "I'm watching their faces Chef, and oh boy, this is going to be in slow motion for the editing, you should watch it."
"Oh, this is something I can't wait to see it." Chef smiled, as he knew that this was going to be the best moment for him to enjoy himself on the show. "Hey, I was thinking of doing a military challenge in a few weeks. Do you mind if I scare them mentally? Or do a lot of challenges I have in the military?"
"Sure, why not? But you must make them all suffer, to make the drama go crazy, but also to make some hilarious moments like that." Chris commented, and Chef nodded his head.
"Maybe we can use the scenes of this Prank War to entertain between my challenges, that way it would be torturing but also funny for the public just to know what will happen on these 3 days." Chef offered the idea, which Chris sounded very pleased to hear.
"Sure, that would sound like a fun idea. But oh boy. I think we could spice up the thing... I'm going to call the interns, and tomorrow there will be more supplies for the pranks... Just for the boys on Killer Bass cabin. Is there a chance of the girls also being involved?" Chris asked hopefully.
"I'm afraid not, the little boy from the farm is with bloodshot eyes. I saw that when I saw one of my squad going rampage, and from what I heard, the girls are going to be on Aquarium for the war going into full scale." Chef knew that it would disappoint Chris, but he wanted to be a fair judge on the prank war, when 2 parties were made enemies, he wanted to make sure that the war would be epic.
"That's a pity, but well. We have to work with what we have. So we need to bring the best supply of jokes and pranks as possible. I want to see the Killer Bass boys in their own jugulars, and one winner on this prank war." Chris said excited to know how it would end.
"Me too Chris, me too," Chef said with a grin, seeing what would be the start of a blood war of who would be the top dog of comedy... But now he had a question... How would it go tomorrow? That's something he knew that he must try to sleep, with possibilities of entertainment appearing on his mind.
(Killer Bass, boy's cabin)
The entire bedroom was covered with green goo, with the most awful, disgusting and putrid smell ever made by mankind, the flees were flying around, enjoying their new homes, as the boys who witness such a cruelty, devilish, and even worse act of making they could see... DJ was gagging to vomit, but the vomit inside of his stomach was refusing to get out of his body. Geoff was lucky since immediately he vomited on the floor, his eyes were closed since they were burning from such a terrible smell.
Harold's glasses cracked, from how the terrible smell was able to even chemically destroy part of his glasses, but he immediately tried to use his inhalator in extreme cases like that, since he left it in his back pocket, he was able to save it from the terrible smell. And with good timing, he did it like a hero would do, he gave a powerful deep breath with it, and ran desperately to outside to open the door.
Duncan's face contorted in disgust, and his hands tightened on the pillow, showing how painful that smell was on his nostrils. He was gagging and even vomiting around, because that assault, was really a declaration of war. Seeing Harold running in the direction of the door, felt like an eternity, seconds turned into hours after taking such a stink bomb.
And when the door was opened... The group of Killer Bass boys ran in the direction of the fresh air. And like a sweet relief the group went outside to vomit and have their sweet relief.
Thankfully the Screaming Gophers didn't open their doors, or most of the smell would have gotten also inside their cabins as well.
"What the *beep* was that?" Geoff said as he took his t-shirt and shorts off, and even his trustful hat was still with that terrible smell.
Duncan may have gotten into huge pranks, or even done terrible vandalism when he wanted to make such a prank towards to someone... But that stink bomb, made him realize... that homeschooled boy, must have a lot of time to himself, and to develop such a terrible smell like that, he was not even aware of what the hell Ezekiel must have used to make such a terrible stink bomb...
"They girls," Duncan said quickly, and DJ immediately went inside the female bedroom, just to see the empty bedroom... Even the bunkers from the girls weren't even there... Harold, Geoff, and Duncan came to see the inside, and then they realized. "Oh you cleaver *beep*, he must have warned the girls about it and prepared himself for this prank... I gotta say. This was indeed a big attack."
"I think we should work together," Harold said as he looked desperately, seeing that not just his shirt was smelling terrible, but every single one of their clothes was now reeking the smell of rotten stink bomb. "He is strong, we cannot do this alone."
"I think he is right." DJ agreed, for someone like Ezekiel already giving the first prank in the first night, before even going to sleep... That shows that his vengeance speech wasn't a bluff, he wanted to destroy them.
"Okay, okay. I have to confess, the shrimp got us on the first attack... And what attack was that." Duncan admitted, that he usually would have been working better in solo, but seeing someone didn't think twice about up the game, he must see now that it was time to make a team in the beginning. "The war was declared, so we are going to take baths, and sleep. Tomorrow we are going to plan our prank for retaliation."
The killer bass quartet now has a new enemy among themselves, a person who showed the first attack, and now they must rely together to find and give a comeback towards the farm boy... They have no idea where he is...
A few trees away from the Aquarium, inside of a hollow oak tree near the top and near the branches... Usually, the wood woodpeckers would have made a lair... Ezekiel tightened himself with only a blanket, without a pillow... He was still feeling the consequences of having suffered climatic changes on the trip to Boney Island... He was drinking water from the bottle Chef had given to him, but it was difficult to move his body since he was hiding inside of a tree near the top.
One of his most professional spots to hide and seek. He had a surprise attack... But tomorrow he must see the best to not just take but also plan a new surprise comeback to his friends. They are going to pay him for that stupid wake-up prank. So he is going to show them
(Aquarium)
The girls tried to adjust themselves to their secret location, since the time they passed hours moving away from the bunkers and were able to take their own stuff to the cave, they wondered how the Killer Bass cabin would end up the next time they would appear on the Main Lodge, however, Gwen had other plans, since a good part of her curiosity took part of her, and she planned to take a good shower before going to sleep...
Courtney was enjoying a good time reading something before sleeping. Thankfully Ezekiel isn't the only literature that she would have a good opportunity to read, a good book she brought from home also was a good option, and she never had the time to read since the boys were loud sometimes and she wanted to have a little comforting silence.
Bridgette also enjoying the hot tub, and Katie already sleeping. It was a very peaceful time for her to have a good reading before going to sleep. Until her nostrils felt something coming towards the outside of the cave, and the smell was faint but horrible, and it was getting stronger with time. Until she started gagging.
"What the ..." Courtney pinched her nose to make herself unable to smell, and tried to look where the smell came from... And to her surprise, was Gwen who came quickly inside the Aquarium, and used even a few wood planks to make their path... "Gwen, why are you smelling like that?"
Gwen came quickly to her backpack and she never thought she would be so grateful to have spared a deodorant for herself. Spraying around her body, and even on her face. The fresh spray smell to cover the terrible odors and trying to even suffocate herself with the clean smell than the ones she did before coming back to the Aquarium.
"Ah, I finally can breathe again," Gwen said happily, as her entire face was mixed between green of nausea and white from palling too much. "I was in the shower when that happened."
"When what happened?" Bridgette asked as she also was pinching her nose, not trusting that Gwen actually was cleaned.
"When the Killer Bass dorm became a combination of dumpster, sewer, and horse poop at the same place," Gwen said as she narrowed her eyes at the disbelief looks from both girls. "Ezekiel wasn't kidding, what are you smelling now it's just 1/10 of what our cabin must be smelling at this moment. And from seeing Harold, Duncan, DJ and Geoff running for the shower to clean themselves... I have to confess, I prefer to see Owen fart on my face 3 times instead of being inside of the boy's cabin at this moment."
"Wow, it's really that bad?" Bridgette asked, which Courtney also couldn't believe it. But seeing the goth girl narrowing her eyes like it was the most serious issue, she couldn't help but be terrified at Ezekiel's warning.
"Tomorrow when we go to Main Lodge you three are going to be the judges... I don't know why, but I think this smell is going to be on there for days." Gwen pointed out, and then she glanced at Courtney. "Whatever you do, do not let the boys get inside here, my smell just came from being nearby them for a few seconds. Imagine how the Aquarium would reeks if the boys stayed here, even after the shower. They are going to need more than 3 showers to take out the smell."
Courtney and Bridgette glanced, and for that moment, they gulped... Not wanting to know how the next pranks Ezekiel would do in this war.
Second Day: (Main Lodge)
Heather felt like her head was killing her, but in comparison to the day before, she was feeling at least 20 percent better. Since she didn't do anything else than stay in bed, she only just got up in time to eat, drink, and go back to sleep... That was the only time she was feeling her health getting better with time.
Lindsay tried to remain calm and help Heather whenever she needed... since now it was only them two. She still glares whenever she sees Trent passing by... and nothing that the guitarist would say or do would make her forgive him, she knew that she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed... but even she wouldn't be so low to lie to anyone about dirt food whenever happened, or even force feed someone to eat such a thing...
At the other side of the main lodge, the girls looked horrified, still traumatized from the aftermath of the first prank happening in their cabin.
"I can't believe it," Katie said as she couldn't comprehend how that happened. "How still smells so badly?"
"The question is... How the smell still feels the same after the first time I smelled yesterday." Gwen corrected the question, as she never thought a stink bomb would have been so powerful, that the interns from the show are taking turns of 30-minute shifts to try to clean up and not die of asphyxiation. "From the way they are cowering in fear, I think the cabin will be like that for days."
"When he said it took a week to remove the smell from a farm, I thought he was exaggerating, but to see how this stink bomb was... I almost threw up the food I ate yesterday." Courtney had to confess, that sometimes the kid she treats like a little brother has some scary ideas. "Thank goodness that we aren't his target."
"Did you see the boys?" Gwen said as she still trembled just to see how her nostrils were still attacked by their smell. "They said they took 3 baths, and yet the smell is still stuck on them... How they did not lose it?"
"Because I used skunk oil and skunk juice on my stink bomb." Then a voice was enough to make the whole group of girls turn their backs and see what would be a picture of a ghost... But then their eyes realized one thing... It was their friend, but he wasn't looking well... "The only way to take the smell out would be having tomato juice bath for a whole day at least."
Ezekiel's face was palled, he had a lot of mucus dropping from his nose, and his face was covered in sweat, the girls noticed... Ezekiel isn't fine.
"Ezekiel, what the hell happened to you?" Bridgette looked in shock, seeing that the same person who came before them was feeling even worse than the first time they saw him...
"I'm just with a cold..." Ezekiel commented, but neither of the girls believed in his statement. "In a few days I will get better, hopefully."
The girls glanced at each other, not sure how to respond to his words... They just hoped that this stupid Prank war would end quickly... Oh, how naive the girls were...
Five hours later...
"IT'S MADNESS, PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS," Courtney shouted at Ezekiel after witnessing how the whole day of the pranks has been, she thought it would have been less extreme in comparison to the day before.
But how wrong she was, everything started with Duncan finding a few candies around, and deciding to cover them all with hot sauce he found in front of the boy's room, just for the sake of Ezekiel picking up the wrong one by mistake and eating it without thinking how burned his mouth would become.
But then DJ had a similar idea, and thinking about how Chef had free time to watch the war from away, he left the kitchen wide open, which was a great time for himself to make very nice rum cupcakes, and inside of it, he placed well nice laxatives where it was placed nearby his bed.
Harold found a few soda cans and had a devilish smile on his face, so he had used some chewed gums at the time he was on the show, so after forming a big ball of chewed gum, he placed it inside of the soda can, to make it looks like ready to drink... Not knowing how disgusting it was from the inside... And his prank would be known just after the episode would be watched... He would gloat about his own victory around his friend.
But all that backfired when Ezekiel noticed the group was working together. So the only thing he did when he saw the candies on the main lodge... He just wrote a note and passed the time writing his next chapter on Aquarium.
Harold was his first victim since the note Ezekiel had on the papers was...
"Choose whatever candy, less the blue paper one... I placed a neat prank on green bean, so you better eat it in front of him, or you are dead meat." Harold raised his eyebrows and noticed that it was possibly a prank of Duncan. So he just shrugged and decided to hide the blue paper one in his pocket, and had a few ones in his hand...
And then Harold had the brilliant idea to even give DJ and Geoff one of those candies to make it more believable for Ezekiel to also eat it.
At the time the group was in the Aquarium, the girls were holding their breaths since they wanted to talk to Ezekiel, and since he was feeling a bit tired... he still had work in progress...
"Hey Zeek, we saw that we may have gone overboard on you. So I want to apologize for our behavior." DJ said honestly, even if he was still a bit mad with Ezekiel literally made their whole room and their bodies stink for the whole day. He wanted to make sure it was believable. "So we want to make a truce and offer you some candy."
Ezekiel even if he was with a fever and a headache... slowly glanced at the group who was still nervous, wondering if he was going to fall for it...
"Sure," Ezekiel took the blue paper candy and watched the trio who was still smiling at him... even Geoff let out a chuckle, which made the other duo stomp his feet to make him stop... The green-hat boy narrowed his eyes in silence. Like he was expecting something.
"What's wrong Ezekiel?" Harold asked as he noticed that he was suspecting them all, so he immediately nodded at the other guys. "If you don't believe it, then we are also going to eat it, just to prove we are telling the truth, we are also going to eat some."
Ezekiel nodded his head in silence, as he saw the group opening their papers and immediately placed the cand on their mouths...
*Cough* *Cough*
Ezekiel had a cough on that moment, but that time of trying to take out the phlegm from his chest was enough to make the boys immediately regret to actually doing the terrible mistake of eating the candy.
"AHHHHHHHHHH." Harold was the first one to spit fire from his mouth, while DJ had to contort his face from the painful and surprising hot source taste from the candy. It was disgusting, and Geoff immediately had to go to the hot tube to drink the water inside of it... not knowing that most of the water was used and he was drinking washed bath water...
The girls looked at that scene in disgust and even saw the boy Ezekiel had his eyes wide open a bit far too fake...
"Wow, when Duncan told me these candies would make you guys want to die, I thought he was joking." Ezekiel let out such a sentence, which made the trio look at Ezekiel like they noticed the acting.
"YOU AND DUNCAN WERE WORKING TOGETHER?" The trio of boys shouted angrily and in disbelief, and Ezekiel let out a dark chuckle.
"First rule on a war prank...always have a backup, and never drop your guards." Ezekiel smiled as he coughed even more with the sickness he had... Seeing that the trio would be not just hurt by the prank, he wanted to finish the conversation mysteriously. "Courtney take good care of my tipe-writter. I'm going to go for a walk."
Ezekiel took the good time, to even force his body to quickly go away from the cave, while the girls watched that scene in disbelief, but even then, the boys felt angry with the betrayal of their comrades. And they immediately left the Aquarium. To plan their revenge...
All it took, was Ezekiel to make a fake note and one prank was demolished.
"Thanks for the counter prank, Eddy." Ezekiel had to admit, that one of his favorite shows in childhood taught him well how to manipulate the group to attack themselves... And now the only thing he needed to do was... just to be on his secret spot once again... "I just hope this cold will get done, or I will not be able to participate in the next challenge..."
And like how Ezekiel Planned... Harold, DJ, and Geoff got back at Duncan, not knowing how his plan backfired... One moment he was grinning madly and even explaining the plan to the boys, who were unamused for his prank, then Harold offered him a soda can... and DJ a cupcake...
And the delinquent never thought he would be passing hours inside of a bathroom, vomiting and pooping at the same time...
Betrayers, that's how Duncan saw, and now he was on solo again... And this time, he was going for their own throats. When he went to get his stuff, he noticed Geoff was holding his favorite knife and placed it above the boy's cabin... That made Duncan see red since nobody would touch his knife without permission... And from seeing Geoff taking it just to throw it on the roof? It was a personal war, and he made sure to use all farting cushions, all the hot sauce, and even barber cream to attack every single one of them...
Duncan made a combo of kick me paper behind Harold's back, which Trent not knowing what was going on was happy to oblige the request and gave a quick kick and immediately ran... Harold did not know why the guitarist did that, Owen was the second person who kicked him, since it was the rules of the kick my paper... And then Lindsay, and Heather who wanted a little revange kicked Harold's balls from his back. Leaving him on his knees.
Then, Geoff who wanted to take out his hat to just take a shower, didn't know that Duncan used the good time to place super glue inside of his hat, and at the time the cowboy hat party boy placed his hat, he felt something humid and tried to take it out... Until he found out that his hat was stuck to his head.
Katie came to watch in a few hours later... what just happened, and it was like a war movie but with the absurdities or pranksters. Geoff tried to use paper rolls to attack Duncan, but he used a combination of firecrackers and fart cushions to make some explosives and immediately made Geoff knocked out from such a prank.
DJ trembled in fear, as the group was in front of Killer Bass Cabin, not knowing how to counterattack Duncan, who was on Rambo Mode. And he wanted revenge on his team.
And Courtney, far away from everything, couldn't help but exclaim to Ezekiel who was moving himself away... Not only from the cabins but a bit even more further than the main Lodge, in the opposite direction of the Aquarium... And she wasn't going to stop until she made it Ezekiel saw that everything was not just crazy, but even he was risking his own health since he should have been resting on his bed... Or even in a sleepbag on the Aquarium.
"IT'S MADNESS, PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS." Courtney shouted as she saw the boy even falling on his knees, "Ezekiel you are not fine, stop this war, and go get some rest... You don't know that you are in terrible danger?"
And on that time, all the cameras nearby could see Ezekiel freezes, and turned his head to Courtney who Immediately noticed Ezekiel was angry.
"Who do you think you are talking to?" For the first time, Ezekiel felt like all the weakness of his body refused him to quit, but his anger made him have internal strength that he even forgot he had. And quoting one of the best quotes ever made in history, he was going to claim for himself... "I'm not in danger Courtney. I AM THE DANGER."
And with that, Ezekiel went even faster to a place, where the C.I.T. girl remained in shock at the words of the said homeschooled boy, and now tilting her head, imagining if he was telling the truth or not. But then she just saw a glance at where the homeschooled boy was going, and she blinked her eyes, trying to see if she wasn't dreaming... But at the time she just saw Ezekiel nearby to a catapult... And a giant water balloon... She felt terrified of where he was aiming it...
Ezekiel was in the hands of the lever... he knew that something should have been done... his sickness somehow damaging him way more than it should... So in the final act... he was going to put a stop to everything.
"The war was nice, and while I couldn't do much... But I know how to start, and how to end with a prank war..." Ezekiel commented, as he took from his pocket, a black bandana, courtesy of Chef, and even some war paint... Using a white marker, he just needed to write a single letter... #1 PRANKSTER on it... And now he was in front of the giant water balloon, one that he made sure to ask Chef if it was possible to even make a water balloon like that... And thankfully Chris himself was the one who requested a factory... Ezekiel just used white paint, to make the right letters... And now, the final piece of the prank was complete... "And you know who else knows how to end a war? MY MOM!"
And with that shout, Ezekiel pulled the leaver and launched the giant water balloon in the size of the camp's cabin... A water balloon with letters in white. MY MOM is in it...
Ezekiel wasn't going easy... He was going full Muscleman on the boys. Showing a good act of mercy... and destroying all their will of fight...
Courtney saw the biggest shadow going towards the camp... and in slow motion, she saw the water balloon hit exactly the Killer Bass Cabin... The boys didn't even have time to process what happened. But their eyes just saw the shadow going directly to the cabin, and with a splash, not just the boys, even Katie was also a victim of the attack... Even the Screaming Gophers also suffered from the surprise flood which attacked the floors of their own cabins.
"AHHHH." Lindsay jumped in her bunk bed. Heather just turned her head and remained sleeping, ignoring what would possibly be the loud shouts of pain and screams... She was a bit too sick to even care about what was happening.
Owen on the boy's side quickly went up on the bunk bed, cracking a part of the bed while doing it... Trent had to take his guitar and even clothes to place on the bunk bed above the one he was sleeping on.
"Woa... these guys are really going full war... I never thought it would end up like that." Trent had to confess that he was scared that the group didn't even focus on doing the pranks on him, so he was just happy to be lucky... Then staring at the day happening, he just smiled to himself. It was the 9th day of the month, which he thought was the sacred number once again saved his skin...
Owen stared at the water flow slowly going away... And was happy to not get in the middle of such a war... Ezekiel was nice since he said he didn't want either of his team to be involved in that... Who knew sometimes being a neutral party was a good chance to not get screwed over? At least he was happy to have a few good talks with Ezekiel. Knowing that the homeschooled boy was actually funny and have even some funny jokes about food.
He just hoped that the war would be over...
The remains of the attack... that was what Katie saw, she was also hit by the flood of big water waves that she ever saw in a freaking water balloon... She had both admiration and fear every time Ezekiel would talk about pranking... Since then, all the boys from Killer Bass have been on the floor on their knees... Coughing water from their lungs, and one by one, she saw the fear look in their eyes.
"Okay, that's it... I'm done. I quit." DJ said as he felt palled from seeing the results of the prank... A giant plastic remaining ballon covers the whole Killer Bass cabin... Even the interns had to get out of the place, wearing swimming suits, and oxygen masks, because the cleaning was terrible, but with that water flow... It also helped their work... But the impact of the water hitting their bodies, made them get launched by the windows... So it was good and also bad... Bad for them, but good for the viewers.
Harold was gapping like a fish, and he could see his own underwear floating around with the other clothing... He tried to get up, but he slipped and felt the good splash in the water on his face.
"That sounds like a good idea. I think that's too much, even for us." Harold felt defeated... And he decided to follow DJ's steps...
Geoff was knocked out, and thankfully his hat was unstuck from his head with minimal damage... Just a part of his hair was now part of his hat... He was defeated by the person whom he immediately regretted pranking on the day before.
Duncan was with his face covered with cream barber and water coming out from his mouth...
It was time to give up... They lost the war...
Playa del losers
"Woahhhhh," Cody said in awe, as the other campers, even Justin had to drop down his mirror to see the results of the prank war...
Izzy watched Ezekiel going into full war and even doing his preparations to save himself around his team... She felt herself with her heartbeats getting faster, and even a goofy smile on her face, as she felt a tingly inside of herself, and she crossed her legs... But then she got up from her seat.
"I need to go to the bathroom." Izzy grinned as she immediately left the group staring at her in surprise... But then just shrugging from her usual act...
Tyler looked palled in comparison to how cruelly his little friend and the heart of the team managed to massacre everyone by using a stink bomb, a fake letter, and a water balloon... He was thankful that he wasn't there, because looking at the aftermath of the war... He would have become an easy target.
Noah whistled as he could see how a single boy dominated the whole team. And the speech Ezekiel had made on the first day, was pure literature. Noah read so many versions of literature, even some of Machiavelli, and then had the big guns to create a war in full scale, he has to say, watching that from far away was the best kind of entertainment he had for a while.
Sadie watched in horror and in worry on Katie, but seeing that Katie was just wet but fine, she sighed in relief... The dumbbells she was holding on that moment almost went on Leshawna's foot, but thankfully the chubby girl was quickly in hands and saved the black girl another pain.
Leshawna voiced her thoughts.
"DAMNNNNNNNNNN, THAT'S A MOMMA JOKE IN ANOTHER LEVEL." Leshawna felt horrified for two reasons, her boyfriend was annihilated by a boy, and second off, the same boy made an inverted momma joke, instead of saying your mom, he said his own mom... Now the entire group who would make momma jokes now had to reflect on possible people who would make jokes about their own mothers, taking out the weapon of insult to other public.
Eva saw the war battle, and she was even having some entertainment to see her friends having some action... Still, she showed a bit of concern because, since the time the homeschooled boy came from the haunted island, he was showing signals of sickness and no signal of getting better. She looked at her broken leg and felt that the pain wasn't there anymore.
Soon, she felt her leg wanting to free itself from the casted prison, and she must train herself harder when she gets full recovery.
Beth who was also showing a few signals of sickness in her bedroom, didn't have the strength to watch the vídeos around the camp, thankfully she would watch the recorded camera in the future. But the time she looked at Screaming Gopher's camera, she watched both her best friends in their bedrooms... And missing her friends, the farm girl took a few meds before going back to sleep... Hoping to get better the next day.
The third day of the camp showed that peace was once again on the island. Chef gave victory at the green hat boy and had good laughs with Chris while everyone on the camp finally could have their time resting in peace.
The Killer Bass team passed the whole day having a break and sleeping inside the cave...
However each day passing, Ezekiel was showing more and more signals of sickness... Until he felt his chest hurt and with a huge cough, made the whole team stare at him fearfully...
Ezekiel dismissed the thought, just hoping the next day of challenge, he would have become better to deal with...
But when the next day came...
Ezekiel felt his body so weak, and the cold becoming so dangerous, that he felt his own chest almost killing him...
The day of the challenge... The group would need to go full of pain... He doesn't know if he can take it... But he hoped that he could at least survive for another day.
