Chapter 2
The laser shot out...
….killing the crazed ginger Scarlett. Scarlett's body went down like a rock, with her hair spazzing out like it did on her final episode of Total Drama.
"Why did you vote for her!" shouted Jo who saw Sky and Shawn close their fist, pointing it at Scarlett.
"She almost killed us." spoke Jasmine in a shaken yet stern voice. Silence filled the room with an almost quiet agreement. "She was messed up in the head, even if she was quiet here."
"The ones who are making a negative impact on society should be the first ones to…go." grunted a distraught Sam, who's stayed quiet up to this point. He was very careful with his word choice, not only wanting to not make this seem like some game, but also wanting to be real careful to not bring light to his lack of impact on the world as all he does in the day is his gaming.
Everyone agreed on his idea though. Someone like Scarlett who was only known for being on the show and endangering the rest of the cast wasn't going to be able to leave here and be a good person. But no one was really wanting to speak up and potentially murdering someone, assuming of course this is all real...
"So now what eh?" asked Ezekial
"Well if we are in this….competition? And we are actually killing each other here….we should allow the one person that would be good for the rest of the world to live." stated Trent. "Certain criminals here should be eliminated."
"Now hold on man!" yelled Duncan. "Are you really suggesting you all kill me?"
"What are you going to do once you get out of here Duncan?" asked Trent. While Duncan wasn't the only one who technically has committed crimes, he is known for his escapades more than anyone else.
"I'm going to find my family if they are still out there and protect them...any means necessary."
"How will we know you won't just go back and do more crimes?" asked Courtney. She wasn't the most well liked but still had more of a case to survive then someone like a criminal.
Because the situation is clearly awful! People here are dying! We gotta start coming to those terms... " yelled Duncan angrily.
"We all want to protect our families dude." DJ piped in "especially me."
"Come on! I need to make up for those mistakes, I have the most to live for once this is done!"
"Anyone actually believe him? Courtney interrupted
"Oh shut up miss 'honors student' for one goddamn second!" yelled Duncan angrily.
It became a beatdown of words after that as Trent and Courtney ganged up on the juvie. Meanwhile Alejandro decided to stay quiet. He was already brought up once by Leshwana, and he knows if he says anything now he will be thrusted back up onto the spotlight. His love Heather knew the same. She had a lot of enemies in there and knew they would potentially kill her if she said anything. The game will be the hardest for key villains like them, and it wouldn't be long before they were thrusted up.
"Guys…please don't yell" asked a quiet Ella but she was drowned out.
"You hurt me Duncan, and same for you Gwen!" yelled an angry Courtney
"You already broke up with him!" yelled the artist.
"We are really bringing out all the drama" Noah snickered sarcastically. Several players like Noah had no real enemies and mostly friends around them. Survival in this early portion of the game was almost determined by not speaking.
"Look I would rather have Gwen survive as long as I do." said Trent.
"What because you're still in love with the girl you made a fool out of yourself for?" said Duncan. He knew he was in deep, deep trouble, so he needed to drag someone else down to become a main target and he might slip away. It isn't working though.
"What the hell man it was because you kept flirting with her." argued Trent.
"Please! Guys stop!" yelled Gwen but it fell on deaf ears.
"What are you gonna do about it, music boy, going to punch me? Oh wait you can't!" Duncan yelled.
"You're digging your own grave man." said Trent, who was starting to cool off and let Duncan pitter out.
Dunacn began to laugh "You really think these people will vote for me? They know if I quote 'die' and this is just a game, I would kick Every. Single. One of their asses." said Duncan, now angry. He was even going back on what he said previously on this being real just to potentially make it out of this jam.
"Courtney and Trent are right dude," said Geoff. "This seems too real…and you are a criminal.."
"Oh what are you gonna do "bro" when you get out, throw a huge party?" asked Duncan, who saw the writing on the wall.
BeepBeep
"You will not vote for me if you know what's good for you!" yelled an angry Duncan. "I was going to be all quiet and cool but you still voted for me to die!"
"Good job distancing yourself from him." Bridgette whispered to Geoff.
"You will all see what happens to you if you go through with this!" continued an angry Duncan. No one would speak to him feeling guilty.
BeepBeepBeepBeepBeep-
"You all can kiss my ass!"
The blast came right after Duncan's final words as he was pushed a few feet away, with his green mohawk almost smoking due to the heat of the shock.
"Gosh dude" said Harold. He was one of the ones who voted for Duncan, after being bullied by the juvie.
"Dude his hair is burning." said Sam standing near Duncan
"Can smell the smoke from here…." Eva trailed off. Hard to find ways to say the game is "fake" after all of this.
"So what now." asked a worried Cody.
No one would speak though, feeling incredibly guilty for what happened to Duncan. Most thought he deserved it, but of course a lot of them still somewhat thought this was a game, Duncan being a heated up smoking body ended those thoughts. Finally after ages someone spoke up.
"We need to figure out who won't be able to contribute once we leave here…right?" said Trent
"We're really letting the music guy start to tell us who gets to live?" said a frustrated Jo. Trent released some sort of EP recently, though it hasn't taken off as he'd hoped. A lot of the recent past is still being remembered by players, as they were knocked off pretty hard by the alien overlords.
"Well what else do you want to do Jo?"
"I say we go after the dicks of the game, like Scott" Jo says, sneaking past her own asshole status in the game.
"If we go after people like me who were just playing a game, then at least a third of us should be eliminated!" said Scott, to which people nodded their heads too. While Duncan might be a legit criminal, people like Heather or Scott should only be judged on how they are as people. At least, that was the thought process for this portion of the game.
"I was only playing a game trying to win money. This is a very different scenario and I won't be a player like how I played." Scott said, finishing his small rant.
"Same for me," said Heather, "I am different now."
"But how bout your boy toy Alejandro?" said Leshawna
"My chica." said Alejandro "I do not hold grudges for how you tried to kill me just then." Leshawna put a vote in for Al, which didn't go unnoticed.
"I think snakes like you should slither away to a dirty grave!"
"Guys we are getting off topic," said Cameron. "There are strategies here, ways we can fairly decide how to play this."
The beeping began before anyone could answer Cameron
"Look, I'm voting for Alejandro, who's with me?" asked Leshawna
Harold, Bridgette, Geoff, Tyler, Lightning raised their hands
"You barely even know me!" Alejandro yelled to Lightning
"I want to survive bro!" yelled back Lightning
People started to argue as the Beeping got faster, and faster. Eventually though it finally stopped.
"AL!"
The laser shot at Alejandro but he jumped off before it could hit him. He tried to run but the floor seemingly moved to physically trip him. He fell face first before realizing show screwed he was.
"Oh no." Alejandro was pulled into the darkness, loud screams were heard as he was pulled away. Grunts and screams of agony sent tingles of guilt down the spines of those who voted for him. After a while, silence filled the room. Another player has died.
