Author's note:
Alright, I'm going to be honest with you all. After this chapter, I'm going to have a break from Total Drama fanfics, because I want to focus into other projects and rest a bit from my break... Sorry but this has been a long session of writing I have done for so long, and I deserve a bit of break.
Now for the replies:
BrightNova169 The cliffhanger wasn't a joke, since the Screaming Gophers were now going to deal with such consequences of the curse. But you should relax because nobody is going to exploy the fear of Ezekiel of being buried alive, since everybody knows what would happen if someone would do such a thing... Trent now is dealing with the consequences of lack of reaction and suggestions done. But trust me, you are going to love this chapter. Have a nice reading,
MatiasND I wrote wrongly because I was writing on the cellphone. Later I'm going to fix it with names Hatchet just in case, thanks for show me where I should correct.
Benny Farr In 2007 there isn't many people with that therm daily, so that's why Geoff, DJ and even Duncan doesn't know what brainstorm is... Because it's used more like after 2015 and beyond I think. And Ezekiel just forgot about it... LOL
Wolfang21 Thank you for liking and enjoying it. I hope you will like the chapter I wrote today.
Alright, I stalled too much time, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, and share with everyone you know. Have a nice reading... Peace out, see you after break.
"Last time, on Total Drama Island…" Chris flashed his perfect white teeth at the camera as he began the recap. "Both teams set out on a canoe trip to deadly Boney Island. Stories were shared, gifts were given, and people were running from dangers and suffering a possible poison thorn which made them handicapped. There were winners. And there were losers. Also known as, The Gophers. The last marshmallow was set to go to either Izzy or Lindsay, but the RCMP swooped in, and bam! Izzy hightailed it out there! Hahahah, man, I knew the girl was nuts, but I didn't know she was totally insane! However, one Gopher may have secretly done something even crazier when she brought home a creepy stick statue voodoo thingy from the deadly haunted island. Will Beth live to regret her souvenir? And can my teeth possibly get any whiter? Find out here on Total. Drama. Island!"
The cabin of Screaming Gophers was never the same after the trip around Boney Island. Since the night after dealing with the exhausting crazy girl Izzy, slightly weird things have happened around the camp.
On the first day, Heather's bed suddenly cracked while she was sleeping. The fact she woke up with her face on the floor made her mood sour for the whole day. The Killer Bass didn't care at all, since the girls never interacted with each other all the time.
Lindsay's product expired and the blonde girl didn't check it before applying it to herself... The second day made her scream in panic after her skin had a bad reaction from the lipstick she applied... Which made her lip deformed...
The entire day Lindsay had been screaming in panic and running around, for the entertainment of the viewers on pay-per-view.
Beth and Lindsay prepared the shower for Heather twice, and somehow whenever she went the water in the shower was scalding which made her scream in pain and horror.
Heather was mad, and Beth and Lindsay also suffered from the shower which suddenly went cold and scalding...
"Okay, this camp is trash," Heather said as she felt her skin pinkish from the hot water, and from the look of Lindsay and Beth who were still trembling from the cold shower but also with a few pink marks on their skin. "This place is in ruins."
And the girls around aren't the only ones who are feeling like that. Since Owen stumbled on the wooden stairs it cracked with his weight. Cody learned how a boy with 130 kilograms can overcome his fear of disarming a bomb... Now he felt on the verge of death like Ezekiel did. And he couldn't help but be in a fetal position every time he imagined Owen jumping on him...
That is until Katie pats his head and says that everything is going to be alright. That was a good thing for him to be grateful to have the tan girl by his side...
Trent also tried to use the shower. But the water pressure was enough to make the metal pipe separate itself from the wall and directly hit him in his face.
Little accidents made everyone wary about what was happening around the camp.
...
"Alright I talked with Chef and he said that the interns will come here to fix the showers this afternoon" Courtney and Gwen came to the group of campers, Heather was still annoyed but at least she could have a good shower the next morning.
The Killer Bass team has no idea what's happening. But it was lucky that nobody from their team seemed to be hurt from terrible showers.
With good satisfaction, the campers decided to resume their whole day...
The day of the challenge, when everyone thought it would have been the best time for them to prepare themselves for whatever craziness Chris would come up with... and since most of the days before the challenge starts... It always starts with a good morning, with the sun already up and with even animals like bunnies crossing around nature...
But suddenly the sound of a helicopter startled all the animals, as it appeared that it was nobody other than Chris who was still wearing his usual helicopter pilot uniform. And with that passing around the camp to scare all the campers once again...
"Oh! Hit the deck! They're coming, man! They found us!" Duncan shouted in panic, as his eyes went wide open and he immediately woke up from his dreams. And he with his white underwear jumped under Ezekiel's and Geoff's bunker... This left both Harold, DJ, and Geoff looking at the delinquent in confusion since they also woke up from the loud sounds.
Heather yawned as she started to get up from bed.
"He really just loves ruining our mornings. Well, whatever, Beth, Lindsay, go warm up the shower for me." Beth and Lindsay were still feeling sleepy, as both also felt still sleepy from the terrible wake-up. Until they heard Heather clapping her hands loudly. "Girls, now. Or we would be without our shower, we need to be the first ones to take the morning shower before the challenge, because there is no way that I'm going to be at the challenge smelling like that."
"Okay," Beth said as she got down from the bunker, with only the three on the female side of the Gophers, and from all the time she had been around the camper, Heather and Lindsay had been her best friends, and even Heather who can be a bit demanding, she also learned a lot from her. "I'm going to use my hand to check if the shower is fixed..."
"Good idea Beth, do that." Heather complimented as she was feeling uncomfortable on her back. Sleeping on these days has been dragging too much of the Queen Bee...
"Err... Heather, can I use the bathroom first? I need to go to urgently..." Lindsay said as she was almost with the desire to jump on her place...
And Heather looking at Lindsay who was feeling like she was about to explode... rolled her eyes.
"Fine, but you better be quick," Heather commanded as she could see Lindsay smiling happily and was about to leave. "Tell Beth to also use it before I get inside of the shower."
"Okay." Lindsay smiled as she ran away. Leaving Heather once again trying to wake up.
Heather remained quiet and watched both girls leave to do whatever they wanted before she went to take a shower before everyone else... But still, something has been bugging her since the last challenge.
"Ugh... this team has 6 members now, and there are 9 fish heads... Each challenge is taking more and more from my team and I don't know when the merge will come... if it will be when we have 5 or 4... or even 3 members... This team is fated to lose..." Heather thought as she watched how every single challenge, even from the defeats... to their victory meant nothing to them... It was like she was outplayed by the other team... and it now made her realize her chances of being in the final three were less and less acceptable... "I need to use contingency plans for determined cases."
Ezekiel was still trying to find a good balance before going back into writing another chapter of Steven Universe.
Going back from Boney Island made him even practice some moves that he could draw Opal doing with her bow and arrow... And now that Izzy wouldn't be around until the merge. He missed someone with whom he could speak with honesty. Someone he could share his secret of being the one knowing what is going to happen in the future...
But now, he isn't sure what to do... Since Beth took the cursed item from the haunter island... He could see how everything was wrapping up around the Gophers, and such a curse was starting small... Because from the way Ezekiel saw it... Today's challenge would be the one in which Cody gets mauled by a bear in the cannon, but since most of the events happening and the quantity of the Gophers... it may be possible that Cody wouldn't suffer the said fate... He hoped so.
*Deep breath*
*THUMB*
*Release breath*
At the time Ezekiel was preparing to launch another arrow, the sound of the helicopter was enough to make him lose his concentration and made him target on the floor...
"Okay, Chris coming to the camp by helicopter... why am I not surprised?" Ezekiel said as he turned to see the helicopter flying above him and even crossing to the other side of the cabins. "Yeah, I'm glad I woke up earlier than dealing with this."
It didn't take long until Ezekiel found a line of girls waiting in front of the washroom, and every single one of them was holding their pee... And Beth and Lindsay were the guardians of the said place.
"What's going on?" The homeschooled boy asked which made the Killer Bass girls look at him in anticipation.
"IT'S HEATHER, SHE HAS BEEN HOLDING THE BATHROOM FOR HERSELF SINCE THEY WOKE UP," Courtney shouted as she was furious over the duo of girls who couldn't do anything since they were already there...
Gwen, Bridgette, and Katie were also on the verge of killing someone at that moment, but all came down when Ezekiel titled his head...
"So why don't you go to the boy's bathroom?" Ezekiel asked which made the girls stare at him in disbelief. "The interns who fixed the shower yesterday also gave a good clean up... And that is the best time to use it before Owen appears... Trust me, every time he goes on there is like a bomb from Mushroom War..."
The girls of the Killer Bass got the reference, so they immediately took the idea and ran straight to the bathroom, while Beth and Lindsay tilted their heads to him.
"It's not pretty," Ezekiel commented as he left the girls alone... It didn't take long until he found the boys dressing themselves up, and with him leaving his newest bow on his bed. A few minutes later, Chri's voice appeared from the loudspeakers.
"I hope you're ready for the most challenging challenge yet," Chris announced to everyone. "Breakfast in three minutes at the campfire pit."
A little over three minutes afterward, both teams were seen gathered up where Chris told them to be with the host of the show standing in front of all of the contestants.
"Are you ready for today's extreme max impact challenge?!" Chris yelled to everyone, really hyping up the challenge for today.
"We are ready!" Owen cheered while raising his arms.
"Incoming!" Chris yelled as he held up a box filled with cans and proceeded to throw one towards Bridgette. Bridgette flinched, but at the time she was about to get hit luckily Duncan came to the rescue and caught the can before it could hit her. And with one grip, the can of beans opened it up.
Chris then began throwing the cans of what the campers learned were beans to all of the contestants. "This is breakfast."
"No." Heather said with disgust as she looked at the can. "Breakfast is crepes, croissants, even Chef's crappy burnt eggs."
"Beans, beans, they're good for your heart, the more ya eat, the more ya-" Owen happily sang before Heather threw her can at the big guy's face.
"Today's challenge is about survival," Chris explained before pulling out something from behind his back. A paintball gun. "We're going hunting."
"Now that's more like it." Duncan said with an eager smirk.
"Isn't that a paintball gun?" Harold asked as he pointed to the green gun in Chris's hands.
"Why yes Harold," Chris said as he aimed the paintball gun at Harold and shot the ginger with it. "It is."
"So we won't be killing anything?" Bridgette asked with crossed arms.
"Negatory," Chris confirmed making Bridgette smile. "This is the first ever paintball deer hunt. I'll announce the teams once we get into the woods. So…finish breaky."
Just then a loud burp got everyone's attention and made them all look to Owen who already had a bunch of emptied cans around him with beans staining his body. "Aaaaah…" Owen let out in satisfaction. "Got any more?"
"Have mine," Ezekiel said as he launched his own can to the gluttonous boy. "I'm not hungry."
About 25 minutes later, the teams were all gathered up near the woods with Chris having a trunk next to him as well as a rack with paintball guns set up on it.
"And now for the team breakdowns," Chris announced as he took all the Bass red guns off the rack. "The Killer Bass hunters are…Courtney, Harold, Duncan, Geoff, and Bridgette. Locked and loaded with bass blue paint."
Chris then threw the four guns to the hunters for the Bass.
"And using orange paint are the Gopher hunters," Chris said as he grabbed the green guns off the rack. "Heather, Cody, Owen, Lindsay."
"Whahoo!" Owen cheered as he and the three other Gopher hunters caught their guns. "This is awesome man!"
"You also get these stylin' glasses and wicked camo caps!" Chris said as he reached into the trunk and pulled out said items. "The rest of you are now deer. Here are your antlers, noses, and little whitetails." Chris pulled out a headband with deer antlers attached, red deer noses, and belts with a little deer tail attached.
"Wow, I'm glad that I don't have to wear that." Heather scoffed as she took the hunter cap and glanced at Beth who was now holding the deer costume with uneasiness.
"I bet that there will be consequences if we don't use the costumes?" Ezekiel was not chosen to become a hunter, which for him was a very fair option since he never held a paintball gun, nor any kind of gun at all... So it wasn't his expertise... so if that means that he would be a deer, that wouldn't mean that it would get even more humilant.
"That's right. Take these off and your team is toast." Chris said as he proceeded to put the deer gear on Ezekiel. And he also got the shades the hunters got.
Chuckling was then heard from behind Ezekiel witch the homeschooled boy turned around a saw Owen grinning at him from behind. "Why are you laughing?"
"Oh, nothing." Owen continued grinning as Ezekiel narrowed his eyes, as he was giggling at the tail Ezekiel had. "Bambi." Owen then grabbed Ezekiel's tail and pulled it back and proceeded to snap it by letting it go.
"You know that I have a bow and arrows right?" Ezekiel gave the rhetorical question which made the smile of Owen drop. "You better be a good shot, tubby!"
Ezekiel said those words, and Duncan started laughing.
"Okay, that was good," Duncan said as Owen left Ezekiel alone, who scoffed. "Also..."
"If you are going to make fun of it, I know how to prank people," Ezekiel warned Duncan who grinned at him.
"Alright, alright, alright, spoil's sport," Duncan said as he went away, leaving Ezekiel with the definition of pot-calling kettle black on his mind.
Confession – Katie
"I don't know what everyone's complaining about," Katie said with a smile and proudly wearing her deer stuff. "I think these look great in me... I think Sadie would also look cute on this... *Gasp* maybe if I ask Chris to let me take these costumes and bring them home I can bring a spare one to Sadie. She is going to love it."
Cody saw Katie dressing herself as a deer, and his eyes sparkled at seeing such a tanned beauty in a way like that... He felt his face blush at the time she smiled at him and even showed her tail to him...
"Are you going to be fine dude?" Trent asked which made Cody jump from his place.
"Oh, hey Trent," Cody called the guitarist, who seemed relaxed from seeing the boy happy to have the gun. "Well, I'm more of a dodger than a shooter, but I think I can manage some points for our team."
"Well, I hope you have fun... I wish I could have gotten the paintball gun, but for me, it's not going to be difficult to hide in the forest." Trent said optimistically until he saw a group of Killer Bass staring directly at the two. "Oh, it seems the group of Killer Bass is staring at you in seriousness. Maybe you should be careful around them."
Trent left which made Cody glance around and found that all Killer Bass was staring not at him, but at the person who just left.
"It wasn't me who should be afraid, Trent." Cody sighed as he could see that probably this challenge was going to suck. And he has no idea how to deal with it. "Are we even going to win?"
A few meters away Heather watched Beth getting ready to leave until someone touched her shoulder.
"Ah, Heather," Beth said as the Queen Bee was using her full hunter set.
"Okay, you need to stay at the front part of the start of the challenge." Heather gave the instruction which made the farmer tilt her head.
"But... wouldn't that expose me to the others to hit me?" Beth asked which made Heather roll her eyes.
"Not when me and Lindsay will be protecting you." Heather gave the plan and even whispered the details which made Beth fear the consequences.
"But isn't that illegal?" Beth asked which Heather scoffed.
"He didn't specify the strategies. So that means everything works. Even the outside boundaries for hunters... But I think the deer cannot leave the forest. Just the hunters." Heather explained the points which made Beth nods her head at the boss of the alliance.
"Got it... I will be waiting for you both." Beth commented which she waved and left herself with Trent.
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Lindsay asked Heather, as the chances of winning the challenge would be minuscule. And even with Heather hesitating, it showed to the blonde girl that even the Queen Bee had no idea.
"I don't know, but that's our only option... Since from the way Killer Bass are looking at Trent... they are going to send the whole hunter squad after him... It's our only strategy to survive and win the challenge." Heather was sincere, that even she couldn't be in control of how things worked... she was glad to have a Pariah to take all the heat, which meant Beth would be saved from the target... "It's everything we can do."
(Killer Bass - Deer)
The deer of the Killer Bass team, Ezekiel, DJ, Katie, Gwen, and Katie, were now all seen walking through the woods. Chris told them the deer had a 15-minute head start to get into the woods and hide.
"This is easily the lamest thing I've ever done in my life," Gwen complained as she wasn't interested in suffering such a stupid challenge around.
"Well, at least they gave us a head start." Ezekiel tried to show positivity since Gwen wasn't that thrilled about being a deer in the game.
"I don't know about ya'll, but I'm outta here!" DJ then did something that surprised nearly everyone on his team. The brick house got down on all fours and started prancing away just like a real deer would. Making Gwen and Sadie's eyes widen.
Ezekiel looked amused since he acted exactly like the episode.
"Well, I think that's also my time to leave... See you later, and good luck." Ezekiel said, as he turned in the East direction and ran the fast as he could.
(Screaming Gophers - Deer)
Currently, the Gopher deer, Beth, and Trent were also walking through the woods and making the most of their head start with all of them, which the duo seemed to not be too happy about being the deer.
Beth remembered the words from Heather, so she smiled sheepishly.
"I think I have to go that way... Good luck Trent." Beth said quickly as she proceeded to hide in the bushes, to which Trent just smiled and walked away from the farmer teenager... After a few minutes alone. Beth looked again, and sighed in relief, to just walk around and find a rock for her to sit on. "I hope Heather is right."
(Killer Bass – Hunters)
"Alright team," Courtney called the team and Duncan, Harold, Geoff, and Bridgette looked at her. "I know that most of you want to go firstly to Trent, to possibly use all the bullets you have in your guns... but I also want to advise to leave at least some bullets in case we find Beth around... Another victory for our team would be good."
"So you don't want to make us separate ourselves to try to find both of them faster?" Harold asked as the group looked also in surprise.
"Well, to be honest... no," Courtney answered as she raised her own paintball gun to the group. "Every single one of us wants to keep harassing Trent for what he did, he hasn't apologized to us yet. So if he is still going to play the ignorant, let's use most of the bullets on him."
"I wished Heather would have been the deer... but shooting at Trent would cheer my mood today," Bridgette commented as Geoff tipped his hat. "What about you Geoff?"
"He made hails going directly from my head... this is personal," Geoff said as he was going to track the guitarist like a dog looking for a bone.
"Alright. I think we can use the V formation, to make a good way to spread the point of view, and with that, if we find him, we can call everyone to focus our bullets on him." Courtney smiled, as Duncan was chuckling with his teeth getting sharp.
"Oh, this is going to be fun," Duncan said as he could see the destruction going around the person who deserved it.
"Alright," Harold said as he showed his hand, for then Geoff came and placed his own hand above his, and Bridgette, and then Duncan, and finally Courtney did the same, they all grinned as they brought their hands together before raising them up in the air.
Chris proceeded to speak to everyone through a megaphone. "Start your paintballs!" The host told everyone as he was about to give the hunters the go-ahead to start hunting their fellow campers. "Game on!"
(Screaming Gophers - Hunters)
"Alright!" Heather smiled as she took her own gun, and smiled with Lindsay. "Let's go find Beth and protect her. And if we have luck, shoot someone from the other team"
Heather and then Lindsay watched Owen splash some yellow liquid onto himself.
"What are you doing?" Lindsay asked with a confused tone.
"Masking my scent so the deer don't smell me coming," Owen said as he prepared to go into full hunter mode.
"Tell me that isn't…" Heather's face turned green as she cringed in disgust, with Lindsay still looking confused, as the queen bee figured out what Owen was doing exactly.
"Pee?" Owen finished Leshawna's sentence with a nod of his head. "Yes. Yes, it is!"
"Eeeeeww!" Heather and Lindsay said in unison.
"We're hunting other campers. You stupid" Heather facepalmed as she told the big guy while backing away from him. "You don't have to hide your scent."
"You mean I collected all this pee for nothing?" Owen complained before throwing a jar of collected pee away with Heather and Lindsay running away screaming so it didn't hit them.
"YOU SICKO," Heather shouted as she run away the fastest as she could.
It didn't take long until both of them found someone sitting near the rock. Heather smiled as she could see Beth did exactly as she ordered.
"Good, you are here." Heather smiled pleased, as Beth still looked unsure about what was going to happen.
"Well, what about now?" Beth asked as she was sitting on the place, and she had no idea what she was going to do.
"I don't know about you, but I'm going to the dining hall, I'm starving. And I refuse to eat beans for breakfast." Heather said as she refused to be just guarding Beth, without any food to help them concentrate. "I'm going to bring chips, want some?"
"You don't like the barbeque version," Lindsay commented and the Queen Bee rolled her eyes.
"Then I would grab the other flavor. You want the barbeque one?" Heather asked annoyed, but in answer of that, the duo Lindsay and Beth nodded their heads happily at her. "Okay, Lindsay stay on guard, and protect Beth, we cannot let her be shot."
Confession– Heather
"Ok…my first contingency plan is to make sure that I still would have the 4 votes in my favor to all the people I would want to eliminate," Heather said as she pointed with 4 fingers. "Having Trent as a meat shield would also include that sometimes I would need to send the fat boy one day. But now, I just have one plan in case we are going to lose... But I still need to make sure Beth and Lindsay would stay in my side...They would be lost without me... man, why my friends are so dragging?... wait, I don't mean they are not my friends. How you can edit this out? STOP RECORDING."
(Screaming Gopher - Owen the Hunter)
"The hunter is a finely tuned machine. His senses heightened by the thrill of the chase." Owen was currently putting his focus to the max. He narrated his hunting journey for himself as he kept his eyes peeled for any Bass members wearing antlers and tails. Sniffing the air, Owen spotted something and quietly tiptoed over to it. Hiding behind a large enough push, Owen peaked and saw DJ still embracing his inner deer as shown by the teen munching on some grass. "Suddenly, our hunter spots a magnificent buck in the clearing. If he's to succeed, the hunter must demonstrate patience and control."
Just then Owen failed this second step as he snuck next to a bush closer to DJ…and proceeded to fart. Both Owen and DJ's eyes widened at this as DJ quickly looked around to see where the source of the noise was coming from.
Owen managed to keep it down long enough for DJ to simply forget about it and start munching on grass again as a bird proceeded to perch the top of his antler hat. "The hunter moves in, aware of every proton in his environment." Owen started quietly narrating again as he got ready to shoot the Bass deer in front of him…only for a large snake to slither onto the big guy making him stand up from his hiding place. "Aw crap!" Owen yelled as he threw the snake away from him.
Needless to say, DJ noticed this and quickly started to run away like a deer would. "Haha! It's on, DJ!" Owen gripped his gun as he started chasing after the brick house. "Your butt's a hamburger and I'm one hot barbeque!"
And chase he did. No matter what, Owen refused to let up on DJ. The big guy never took his eyes off the brick house and tried to take shot after shot of him with DJ managing to avoid the hits so far. "You're my burger now, DJ!" Owen yelled while panting. And like a true hunter, Owen refused to let up on his hunt for DJ.
Even after hitting his jewels against a rock, being led through a bunch of thorn bushes, and getting chased by a bunch of raccoons, Owen refused to let up on DJ and continued to chase after him and continued to shoot at him and unfortunately missed.
But things seemed to be looking up for Owen. Quite literally. Owen had managed to chase DJ all the way up the 1000-foot cliff the campers all went up for their first challenge. DJ was chased to the edge of the cliff with nowhere left to run. Beads of sweat went down DJ's head as Owen was right in front of him and aiming the paintball gun right at him. "You're mine now deer!" Owen said as he looked right into DJ's eyes.
With his gun pointed right at DJ, Owen put his thumb to the trigger…and nothing happened. Only clicking sounds were heard no matter how many times Owen pushed it. Owen grew nervous as DJ's nervous look soon turned into a glare.
"Um, the hunter knows that his prey will stay there for a moment, paralyzed in…uh, fear?" DJ didn't do anything Owen said with his narration as the brick house stomped right in front of Owen. "And respect? The deer cannot best the hunter."
DJ now looked down at Owen as the big guy nervously laughed and tried to back away from DJ.
"Hey, dude. C'mon now. Let's talk about this." That was the final word until the only thing DJ did was pick up Owen and throw him down the cliff, at the time Owen hit the water, just like the episode 2 of Total Drama Island, it happened a giant wave towards the beach… DJ looked at the damage he did with the fat boy and happily started running down the cliff.
Owen wasn't the only Gopher having a pretty rotten time. Heather had to wait under the stairs leading to the dinning hall. Until Chef Hatchet gets out from there wearing his swim shorts, and a float around his waist, and the Chef from such a terrible show seems to be whistling happily about the idea of going to swim while the group of brats would be enjoying another messed up challenge.
At the time Chef left the place, Heather went quickly from the place she was and went straight to the kitchen to find the chips she was going to bring for herself and her friends...
Heather paused...
"They aren't my friends... they are part of the alliance, nothing more than that," Heather commented to herself, as she took it from the shelters, the quantity of 5 chips, which would be enough for them to get going around the forest. And like a bullet, she opened the kitchen window, and closed it without Chef having any idea about her,
(Killer Bass - Ezekiel)
Walking around the forest being a deer wasn't something that Ezekiel would have in mind. But since he was bored and had nothing better to do... So he planned to make some traps to make the challenge more interesting.
The snare traps the trees and bushes and uses nothing more than vines to make the rope and the leaves to make the disguise...
"Man, that would be so funny if someone got caught by this." Ezekiel smiled since it wasn't a hunt if there weren't traps around... Making the traps for both deer and hunters would make the game more interesting.
"Hey, it's nice to see you here."Then a voice called, which made the excited Killer Bass smile and frown deeply.
The unamused face of the homeschooled boy was enough to say that he wasn't happy to find nobody else than Trent...
Confession - Ezekiel
"From all people to find me... In around all the giant forest, is it Strange that I would be happier to find Heather instead of him?" Ezekiel said as he looked annoyed at the camera, but also he took a good minute to calm down... "I know that a part of me still says that maybe I have been exaggerating, like all my team. Maybe one hour or someday I will find strength in my heart to forgive him... But his free-spirited smile really got on my nerves... Does he ever feel sorry at all?"
Ezekiel turned his head away and decided to ignore the teenager who kept calling hey.
"Ezekiel, wait, please. Come on man, talk to me... Everyone from your team is ignoring me or even being hostile." Trent decided to follow the homeschooled boy who was just walking even faster to ignore his voice. "Come on, speak to me. You are the only one who Gwen knows who passed the challenge with her."
And with that, Ezekiel stopped. And turning his head slowly, he decided that he had enough.
"That's it?" Ezekiel replied, but this time Trent saw that the boy in front of him was looking with all the anger inside of his heart. "It's all about Gwen? Not even caring about how me and Geoff had to suffer because of you?"
Trent stopped, and his worried face then became complete as he could see a few steps approaching him as well.
"Ezekiel, don't even try," Gwen called as she could see Trent and her face showing nothing more than anger. "Don't waste your time with someone like him."
Trent almost smiled if wasn't for the fact Gwen showed no feelings about seeing him around. Her eyes were cold like ice.
"Come on, Gwen. I'm sorry about leaving you both alone, I was caught by a surprise attack." Trent explained but neither of them seemed to be moved by that.
"Well, what about your suggestion to make Geoff's hail cloud go lower and hit stronger on his face?" Gwen asked which now made the guitarist flinches from the question.
"Well, that I cannot defend myself, it was my bad, but I was just kidding with him. It doesn't seem to be that bad." Trent scratched his head sheepishly but that made not only Gwen's mad, but Ezekiel became absolutely peeved.
"It doesn't seem that bad? THAT BAD? DUDE, YOU LEFT ME TO HAVE FLASHBACKS OF MY ALMOST DEATH YOU MORON." Ezekiel shouted with such anger that Trent's eyes went wide open. Gwen tried to place her hand on his shoulder but Ezekiel refused. "YOU HAVE ONLY MIME FEAR, I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE UNDERGROUND, ALMOST BIT THE DUSK, KICKED THE BUCKET. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW IS THE FEAR OF DEATH? AND THEN GETS IN PANIC BECAUSE OF HAVING ALMOST THE SAME FEELINGS AGAIN BECAUSE YOU WERE THE DOUBLE OF THE TIME YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE? AND WHEN YOU COME HERE TO HAVE THE BALLS, THE BALLS TO ACTUALLY SAY SORRY, WAS BECAUSE GWEN WAS THE REASON WHY YOU ARE SORRY, AND ME AND GEOFF DIDN'T SUFFER THE SAME OR EVEN WORSE THAN HER?"
The more the time passed the more Ezekiel shouted, which made Trent even paled from receiving the reality check in his face...
He remembered Cody warning about a person suffering from PTSD and from the looks of the team. The person who wanted to hurt Trent so much was... The pink shirt, cowboy hat teenager, who wanted so much to hurt him...
At the time Trent was about to say something. Suddenly he felt a cold object aiming directly at him...Slowly turning around, he saw a delinquent boy who was with his paintball gun aimed at him.
And behind him, the other members of the team have all their weapons aimed at him.
"Err..." Trent felt nervous about seeing the entire team staring at him with all their weapons, and nothing more than unamused expressions on their faces.
Ezekiel noticed how things would end. So he decided to make something clear.
"Hey guys, did anyone watch The Godfather 1?" Ezekiel asked such a random question... But at the time the Killer Bass nodded their heads to him, since was a known classic movie...Until everybody realized what Ezekiel meant... In one single scene, a person is surrounded by people with guns.
Trent started to sweat cold and tried to even look for Gwen, who just simply ignored and followed the green hat's example and left the prey for their hunters.
Trent palled as Geoff walked in front of the group with their faces showing their true intentions... Trent didn't even have time to react or run...
They Sonny Corleone him.
It was such a dramatic scene, that Chris made sure to place it on the episode with even an Italian opera song Parla Piu Piano, and in slow motion...
The blue ink goes through the body of Trent and with the coldest look from Duncan, Bridgette, Courtney, Harold, and Geoff...
Every single paintball was like hitting his clothing even his face... And every single one of them hurt it like they don't have mercy on him.
Balls of torture hit his body...
He went down... And Geoff slowly walked as he pointed the gun to his face.
"No, not in the face," Trent begged, as Geoff simply tipped his hat like it was a fedora, and gave the mafia style of execution... And without mercy shot the guitarist 5 times in the face.
At the time that happened, the Killer Bass group remained quiet. And then walked around, from the knocked-out camper.
(Screaming Gopher – Cody)
At the time hunting was not as successful as the geekester hoped, since he was walking for hours, and he didn't have any success, trying to find any deer to help his team… Every time he looked around the bushes seemed to be in vain since he couldn't find any kind of track toward the Killer Bass team.
By walking around, he then found something interesting… Like all his prayers could be answered, he found a target that he would be aiming his own gun… The fluffy tail was the perfect signal that he found the deer he was looking for.
Aiming his gun carefully he was prepared to shoot toward the bushes where his prey would be caught by surprise…
Until the person who got out from the bushes was nobody less than…
"Katie?" Cody asked loudly which made Katie dressed like a deer look around and find Cody who was ready to shoot at her.
"Oh, Hi Cody. How are you? Did you manage to catch any deer yet?" Katie smiled sheepishly, making Cody lower his gun aiming at her.
"Nah, didn't have any luck… but you are still a deer thought," Cody suggested which made Katie gasp playfully at him.
"Me? Oh dear… can't I do something to escape my terrible fate of being hunted by such a dangerous and cute hunter?" Katie asked which made Cody tries to look away with a blush on his face… until someone snatched his gun. "Ha, got you."
"Okay, give me back… deer aren't supposed to hold guns," Cody said as he rolled his eyes, and offered his palm to make Katie giggle and give the gun back to the Screaming Gopher Hunter.
"Okay, Okay. It was fun while it lasted… so what's your plan? And don't think you are going to shoot me without my consent. Challenge or not, I still like my skin." Katie said which made Cody sign in defeat.
"Oh come on, can't you have a guy trying at all? Your team probably is massacring Trent at this hour…" Cody commented which made Katie giggle by then blink at him playfully.
"Maybe.. if you just…" Katie was pushing Cody weakly but from one wrong step… Cody wasn't aware that they both triggered the snare trap by accident. "WOAHHHHH."
Both Katie and Cody found themselves upside down on the tree…
"OH COME ON…" Cody shouted in disbelief, as he and his girlfriend were upside down...
(Owen – The Hunter.)
Owen could be seen back on dry land with his entire body dripping with water. He was wet, tired, cold, and most likely hungry. But still, he insisted and didn't give up.
"You can leave the hunter with less ammo than he thought he had. You can throw him over a cliff. You can even leave him with a case of the crabs." Owen emptied a small crab out of his shoe before throwing his shoe to the ground and raising his arms. "BUT YOU CAN NOT…BREAK HIS SPIRIT!"
Rustle
Owen's eyes immediately locked onto an area he heard rustle. Hiding in the bushes, Owen's eyes locked onto what he saw. The Bass deer Ezekiel walking all by himself. Whistling the iconic theme of Godfather...
"Fresh meat." Owen rubbed his hands together as he grinned at his next hunt.
So as quietly as he could, Owen stalked Ezekiel. He had one paintball left and he had to make it count. So the big hunter kept his distance while keeping a close eye on the delinquent and his movements. Soon enough, Owen found himself up a tree and looking down at Ezekiel as he stopped to take a drink from the river, and even wash his face.
"This is the shot of the day." Owen narrated quietly as he watched Duncan take a sip of water with his hands. "With one paintball, hunter and prey's mutual destinies will be fulfilled."
*Pffffffttttt!*
Owen flinched a bit as he found himself unable to contain a fart. Ezekiel quickly noticed the sound and clearly looked around.
"Farts… OWEN!" As Ezekiel called the hunter's name, Owen found himself farting some more. "Nice try farting machine! You could have had me… But that's what you get by eating beans in the breakfast… Makes you regret even trying to camouflage, right?"
Ezekiel then ran away leaving Owen to release another fart that blew the leaves off of the tree he was on...and then fell into a puddle of mud. At the time Owen went down, his fart once again could be heard…
Owen thought he couldn't get even worse than that… Until his arm got stuck into a snare trap, and with the strength of the vines and the tree itself, was enough to make Owen get stuck in the tree again, but with leaves across his mouth…
Yes… his day could get even worse.
Heather, Lindsay, and Beth spent most of their time walking around near the starting line, while they were enjoying their time together eating very nice flavors of chips, which could probably leave traces from their crumbs…
"Thanks again for bringing food, Heather. This challenge has been so boring that we have to be sitting around." Beth commented and Heather rolled her eyes.
"We aren't sitting around, we are moving from location to others, and using our strategy to stall the time until this challenge is over… I can't wait to go to have another shower and then go to bed. This day has been a pain in the ass." Heather explained, and she couldn't help but hear something moving around the bushes… "Wait, someone is approaching."
"WHO?" Lindsay screamed as she accidentally shot in the direction of the bushes… The sound of the paint bullets hitting something clearly showed that there was something… and at the next second… the trio of girls regretted it, since from the bushes a very angry bear raised and stared at the trio with nothing more than hatred and desire to devour something.
"RUN," Beth screamed in panic, which resulted in the trio starting to run away from the bear who was roaring and ready to kill someone at that moment.
The bear ran with all its might, and the girls separated themselves into trying to make the bear confused… And for such struck of luck… The strategy worked… Beth ran behind the trees, while Lindsay jumped in the mud…
Heather ran directly to where the challenge had started, which Chris was about to call the ending of the challenge… But at the time she was almost approaching him, she suddenly stumbled into an empty glass jar, and at the next second, she was on the floor… She found a semi-empty yellow jar… which suddenly was balancing near her body…
Heather's eyes went wide open when she realized which yellow liquid belonged to… And with some irony of destiny… the jar dropped on the left side, which was the direction of her body…
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." The scream Heather shouted at that moment, was something that made all the birds, bunnies, and squirrels flee away, and even the bear suddenly stopped, and realized that there was an aura assassin nearby… "OWENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN."
And like a banshee, the bear suddenly stopped, and decided to turn its back and leave…
Chris watched that scene like it was the best movie in the entire world.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." He couldn't help it… It was perfect. Saw the perfect ending for the challenge, thinking it was now the best time to finish the game. "Attention human-wildlife and hunters! Please report back to camp! It's time to show your hides and tally up the scores!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Chris let out as he paced back and forth. Currently most of the Bass and Gophers, with the exception of Cody and Katie. Were all lined up back at camp. Owen was currently covered in mud and bruises, Heather was raging in her place, and the smell of pee was over the right side of her body. Both she, Lindsay, and Beth were without any ink… but Trent was something different, he was in the infirmary with a few bandages around his face and arms, since most part of his body was covered with blue ink. The Killer Bass side was satisfied with their results since nobody from their team seemed to have any ink around their bodies.
"Stealing from Chef. Eating chips in the woods. Being haunted by bears. Getting peed from a jar, have a parody version of one of the best mafia movies ever made... Do you know what I see here? I see a very undisciplined group. I see a disgraceful mess. I see a massive waste of paint products. And I have to say…that was awesome!" Chris then started laughing perking up a few of the campers. "Epic chase scenes, massacring shots, and just so much happening all at once. Wicked TV guys. People who are watching this will surely go to make a signature to pay-per-view."
"PAY-PER-VIEW?" The whole group of campers said in alarm, as it was the first time the group ever heard about such a possibility.
"Yep, we had done pay-per-view a week ago, and our ratings have gone to large proportions, this is going to boost our sales to products we are selling to everyone," Chris said happily, as the group, even Ezekiel had their eyes wide open, Chris just admitted that they are selling merchandise of them. Or most probably from the show.
"Hey," Harold spoke up as he noticed the lack of two Bass. "Where are Katie and Cody?"
That brought the attention until a growling sound was heard, which made Heather, Beth, and Lindsay step back, revealing Chef holding both Cody and Katie with sheepish smiles on their faces.
"Found those two making out in the tree… they were upside down, but still they were making out," Chef said grumpily as he dropped those two on the floor.
"Oh, this is too much," Gwen smirked at the scene. She was happy to see Cody and Katie blushing from embarrassment, by being carried by Chef Hatchet. And from the look of all the campers staring at them.
"Cody," Owen said in between laughs. "You sly dog, you!"
"Err, hehe… What can I say… I'm a ladies' man... OUCH… Sorry babe." Cody was trying to act cool, but Katie narrowing her eyes, gave a quick punch to his kiwis, making him go in the knees and ask forgiveness…
"Apology accepted." Katie smiled, as she was daydreaming about how happy she was at that moment.
"Well, since only one member of the Screaming Goopher seemed to be all covered with ink... It seems we already have our winners." Chris then turned to the Killer Bass who all cheered in response. "You're off to a hunting camp shindig!"
At the time the Killer Bass was cheering happily, Chris then turned to the group of Screaming Gophers.
"Gophers, I'm going to see you all at the bonfire ceremony tonight," Chris commented as he showed his deep disappointment in the team. "Again."
(Aquarium)
The Killer Bass team seemed to be in cheerful mode, everyone was happy for another good victory in their minds… But also there was one subject that needed to be discussed.
"Err… guys, I know I don't want to be that kind of guy… but who you guys think Screaming Gophers are going to send it out?" Harold asked as both the group seemed to be using deodorant and even using a towel after using the hot tube from such a challenge.
"TRENT." Most of the members of Killer Bass said in unison, while Ezekiel remained quiet and reflexive towards such a possibility.
"I usually think we would have been too far… and he got all the punishment he deserved… But I think just for the sake of himself to start over again… I think he should just quit, go back home, and ask for forgiveness…" Bridgette pointed since she knew the boy screwed up badly. "If he stays on the game by himself, then it was stupid because even if we should forgive him, it would take time, and him just being here, it does not make it easier for us…"
"I agreed with her, his stay on this island already expired… maybe if he watches all the episodes and how he screwed up, that would show him to not be that ignorant person who smiles too freely without knowing the consequences of his actions." Duncan pointed it out, as he himself couldn't defend the guitarist, and neither did he want to do it.
"But what about Heather? She should be eliminated at some point." Courtney gave a point but Ezekiel refused…
"Not that if she has Beth and Lindsay on her side… with her, the group already has half of the votes and could eliminate anyone with just one more vote," Ezekiel commented as he also looked at Katie. "Also Cody is another possibility to leave."
"Cody? WHY HIM?" Katie asked in alarm which Ezekiel pointed at her.
"He didn't manage to tie the game, but also, I think Heather wants Trent to remain in the game," Ezekiel explained and the whole team looked confused at him. "Since she could use the same strategy as she did today… she deliberately quit the challenge today because she knew that most hunters of our team would try to hunt him down… So that means…"
"That she wants to use him as Pariah," Courtney concluded, showing that everyone was now wary of the next plan of the Queen Bee… "What about now?"
"Well, to be honest, I would say that it was a good game… since most of us are still angry at him because he didn't apologize… sincerely. Damn, now I understand how the Donut's Witch felt at that moment." Ezekiel realized why one witch took Jake's powers away from him…
"Err… Zeke?" DJ asked which made the homeschooled boy snap from his thoughts.
"Oh yeah… I mean, there is a chance that Trent would eliminated… but also a good chance of Cody being the one eliminated." Ezekiel was sincere. And from seeing the sad face of Katie into learning that, he couldn't help but move his head to the exit… "Go, just to be sure, pass The time with him in case this happens…
Katie sadly nodded her head, and in the next minute, she ran in the direction of her boyfriend… Leaving the Killer Bass looks sadly over the facts…
"It sucks that this has to happen," Harold said as he knows how Katie feels at that moment. Nobody around the island wanted to see their loved ones out of the show, which would make him reflect and miss his chocolate lover once more.
And in a time like that, the group went to eat, with a few thoughts on their heads and a bit of heavy chest as well.
THAT NIGHT - CAMPFIRE
"I mean, seriously. How many challenges in a row?" Heather complained to her team over their losing streak. The girl was now cleaned up from the smell of urine and the glare that she had for the fat boy who was smiling sheepishly at her. "Can we already start this? I need another shower because this day has been a torture to me… And I want to hunt down a fattus creature."
"Err...he...he…" Owen laughed nervously, as Heather glared him down, making him whimper.
Cody felt happy to see his girlfriend visiting him before the votes… and he couldn't imagine who would be voted off… Since Heather has 3 votes, and Owen is intimidated by Heather as a way to pay his debt because Heather was going to beat the crap out of him if he doesn't vote on the same person… So he couldn't help but feel pity for his friend, maybe if he voted in Owen and made him feel the pressure of Elimination… Heather would be kinder to him…
Confession – Cody.
"Heheheh. Okay. I know I got captured by a snare trap, but I'm feeling good about this." Cody said with a confident tone. "Besides, Heather has been furious around Owen, so I think one little vote on him would save him from elimination and also would make me avoid voting for Trent since he probably was going to leave tonight."
"There are only five marshmallows on this plate," Chris told everyone as he held up the plate full of marks of safety. "When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately return to The Dock of Shame, catch the Boat of Losers, and leave.-"
"Beth. Lindsay. Heather, Trent." Chris quickly listed off the four Gophers who would be staying and threw them marshmallows. Cody suddenly realized something was odd… Trent not being the one who was on the verge of elimination?
Cody found himself…worried. There was one marshmallow and only two campers without marshmallows. Cody…and Owen.
"Campers, this is the final marshmallow tonight. And to make things more serious… it was a vote of 5 against 1," Chris told everyone which made Cody suddenly feel a shrive on his own spine, and slowly looked to Trent, who turned his head away… Heather, Lindsay, Beth he could understand… even Owen since there was pressure against Heather… but Trent? Cody didn't understand why that happened… And it was at the next moment, that he knew his fate… as Chris was silent for an incredibly tense moment before announcing who would be staying. "Owen."
"YEAH BABY," Owen shouted as Chris launched the marshmallow to the fat boy who gleefully opened his mouth to eat it...
"Cody. The Dock of Shame awaits, bro." Chris told me as the geek boy seemed to be slowly moving away from the team… Heather was in serious face, she wasn't grinning, neither wanting to provoke him… Lindsay and Beth were sad… even Owen felt sad to see his departure… Cody refused to see his face of Trent at that moment… from all the time, and his own conversation with him… it probably felt like it meant nothing…
Confession - Trent
"While I know it would have been easier to vote in myself... I cannot give up this game... I still want to win this game. Sorry Cody, but I was the only one from our team who got shot over this challenge, and you were kissing the girl on this challenge." Trent said as he was cleaning the blue ink from his face, and still gave his silly free smile. "No hard feelings okay?"
Cody probably would have prayed for God may have forgiveness and to have mercy on Trent's soul… because he knows at the time Katie discovers this… she won't have either of them…
Cody accepted to leave the game, and with a few tears in his eyes, he said goodbye to the island… and got himself inside the boat, for a place that he didn't know where it was...
He was not mauled by a bear... but the pain he felt for leaving the show wasn't smaller than the time he was betrayed by his whole team...
And with that grim remark comes the end of yet another episode of Total. Drama. Island!
