Not so happy campers.
A scene was shown of a clear and beautiful lake and worn down dock surrounded by nature as the sounds of nature echoed all around in completely harmony.
"Yo!"
Until a man suddenly popped into view with a massive grin.
"We're coming at you live from camp Wawanakwa somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario." He told the camera as he gestured behind him before himself. "I'm your host, Chris McLean! Dropping season one of the hottest new reality show on television right now!" He said moving down the dock as he continued.
"Here's the deal, 24 teens well spend 8 weeks at this crappy old summer camp! They'll be competing in challenges before facing the judgment of their fellow campers. Every 3 days each team will either win a reward or watch one of their own team members walk down the dock of shame, board the boat of losers and leave Total Drama Island for good!" He informed before the scene moved towards the campfire.
Their fates will be decided here at the dramatic campfire ceremony where all but one camper will receive a marshmallow." Here he picked up a stick that had a marshmallow on it, ate it before tossing it away.
"In the end only one will remain standing and will be rewarded with chessy tabloid fame and a small fortune that let's be honest will last a week tops." He chuckled. "To survive they have to survive black flies," The camera flashed over to said insects. "Grizzly bears." The camera lowered to show said bear. "Disgusting camp food." The scene then changed to a bowl full of maggots with a massive one in the center that held a human face.
"And each other." The camera was back on Chris before his face lit up in excitement and glee. "However I am pleased to announce that for the first time in reality show history our contestants will include enhanced among them! Here he spread his arms wide. "That's right the brave men and women who have the power to protect us from the monsters from the gates are finally being allowed to compete against us civilians and man is it going to be good!" He laughed as the scene flashed to various cameras around the island. "Each moment will be caught by the hundreds of camera's we have situated around the camp." He explained as he arrived back at the dock. "Who will crumble under the pressure? Find right now!" He welcomed as the camera pulled out.
"On total!" The camera now showed pulling out more and more.
"Drama" The island could now be shown in full.
"Island."
Title sequence.
"welcome back, it's time to meet our first twelve campers!" Chris informed as he waited at the dock before suddenly snickering. "We also told them they're staying at a 5 star resort so if they're a little pissed there's your reason why." He laughed as the first boat dropped off a short girl with glasses, braces and brown hair tied into a ponytail.
"Beth. What's up?" He asked with a grin as the girl grinned upon seeing him and ran towards him and hugging him clearly making him uncomfortable. "Oh my gosh, it's so incredible to meet you!" She greeted only to frown. "Wow you're much shorter in real life." She whispered to herself though Chris still heard it.
"Thanks." He muttered annoyed as the girl moved down the dock just as the next boat arrived. He was a Jamaican giant with a beard. "DJ." He greeted as the giant moved down the dock and gave the host a high five. "Yo Chris McLean, how's it going?" He asked as he looked around and frowned. "You sure you got the right place man, I'm not seeing the hot tub." He noted getting Chris to grin as he confirmed that they were in the place causing DJ to grumble under his breathe.
Next up was a girl who's entire demeanor screamed goth and had a look of someone who was close to snapping. "Hey Gwen." He said introducing her with the girl glowering at him. "You mean we're staying here?" She questioned with Chris shaking his head, raising the goth's hopes only for the host next words to crush that hope. "You're staying here. I'm staying a little downstream in a place with AC." He clarified with smirk causing Gwen to growl.
"I did not sign up for this." She said getting into his face and pointing at him. Chris just moved backwards and brought out her contract. 'I knew having these close by were a good idea.' He thought. "Actually Gwen you did, I have the proof right here." He bragged only for the girl to grab the contract and rip it in two with a smirk.
'And she's even not one of the enhanced, impressive.' He thought as he reached down and pulled out an exact copy. "That's the great thing about Lawyers, they make lots of copies." He informed her causing her to growl. "I'm not staying here." He informed him getting a shrug from Chris.
"Cool. Hope you can swim though, considering your ride just left." He told the goth girl who watched her boat quickly sail away. "Jerk." She whispered before joining Beth and DJ just as party music blared as the next boat arrived and dropped the next arrival off. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He gave the driver the thumbs up as he boat left the dock as the teen turned to the host.
"Chris McLean, sup man?" He asked as he walked forward and gave the host a fist pump. "It's an honor to meet you man." He said getting Chris to fire finger guns in his direction. "The Geoff-ster, Welcome to the island man." He said getting a fist pump from Geoff. "Thanks man." Over to the side Gwen's scowl deepened. "If they say man one more time I'm going to puke." She warned getting concerned looks from DJ and Beth just as the next contestant arrived.
She was a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes. 'Not too shabby.' Chris whispered to the audience as the girl approached Chris. "Everyone this is Lindsey." He introduced the girl who stopped in front of Chris before tilting her head in confusion. "Okay you look so familiar." Were the first words out of the blonde's mouth. "I'm Chris McLean." He remaindered her only to frown when she looked more confused. "I'm the host of the show you're currently on." He tried again causing her to smile. "Oh, that's where I know you from!" She gasped before joining the others and missing Chris's flat look.
"I give her two challenges at most.' He thought with a roll of his eyes before he saw the next contestant and his face broke out into a grin. She was a tall girl of Korean decent with black hair and grey eyes that were scanning the area intensely.
(This is what she's wearing.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the first of our enhanced competitors." As he said this everyone's eyes were now locked on the girl. "E-ranked Archer class hunter, Heather!" He said as the girl looked around suspiciously getting a chuckle from the host. "Man you're as paranoid as the producers said. But don't worry you don't have to worry about anything just yet." He promised causing her scowl to deepen as she moved past the host.
Only to lean back as Beth suddenly appeared right in front of her. "Hi! Looks like we're your new friends for the next 8 weeks!" She greeted only for Heather to walk around her. "Didn't you hear her, She said-." Lindsey tried to say only for Gwen to stop her. "Why don't we just give her some space for now. She seems to be a little on edge." The goth suggested with Heather shooting her a grateful nod which Gwen returned.
Music once more filled the air this time of the punk variety as the next to be dropped off was a man with a green hair, soul patch and several piercings. "Duncan." Chris greeted only for Duncan to sniff as he looked around. "I don't like surprises man." He warned only getting a grin from Chris as he crossed his arms.
"Yeah your parole officer warned me about that, along with telling me to give him a holler to have you returned to juvie." The host was kind enough to inform him getting a hum from the punk. "Okay then." He said at last walking to join the others. "Meet you by the campfire gorgeous." He promised only for Heather to conjure an arrow. Laughing he raised his hands in mock surrender and left to join the others.
What can he say he liked a take no shit woman.
Arriving next was a teen with red sweats, red sweatbands, brown hair and brown eyes. He was skiing behind the ship instead of riding it. However as Chris introduced him as Tyler he gave a wave causing him to lose his balance flip through the water before slamming into the dock causing him to fly through the air and land in the water on the other side causing a splash of water to nearly hit Heather. Chris laughed hard before completing his wipe out getting a thumbs up from Tyler causing the other guys to give thumbs up as well.
Chris's amusement was stopped when he heard heavy breathing from behind him. Turning he saw a teen with freckles, wispy whiskers, ginger red hair and glasses though what every noticed was what he was dressed in. 'Neo, seriously?' Chris thought seeing the clear rip off to the Keanu Reeves character. "Everyone welcome the E ranked technomancer class hunter, Harold." He managed to introduce while holding back his laughter.
Harold however was silent as he looked around. "What's he looking at?" Beth whispered getting a shrug from DJ. "So instead of a 5 star resort this show is at a crappy summer camp?" He questioned getting a nod from Christ causing the nerd to grin and fist pump. "Yes that is so much more favorable to my skills." He said getting a disturbed look from Chris as some of the contests moved away from the nerd and closer to Heather.
"Contestant number 9 is Trent." He said as the next teen showed up he had green eyes and black hair while carrying a guitar case. 'Number 9, can't escape it.' He thought as he laughed to himself before walking over the host. "Hey Chris it's great to meet you, saw you on that figuring skating show. Great work" He said getting a grin from as they fist bumped. "Thanks man, I knew I rocked that show."
"I saw that." Beth whispered. "One of the guys dropped his partner on his head, so they got immunity that week." She told the group. "Lucky." Harold whispered. "I hope I get dropped on my head." He hoped. "Oh oh me too!" Linsey agreed getting a roll of the eyes from Heather. "I highly doubt it would be the first time for either of them." Heather whispered to Gwen who couldn't help the snicker that escaped.
Trent meanwhile was frowning as he looked around. "Is this it?" He couldn't help but ask looking over the blank faces of his competition which turned to disgust when Harold started picking his nose. "Alrighty then." He sighed as he took his place next to Gwen. The musician shot her a smile causing her to look away but when he looked away she glanced towards him with a smile.
Up next was a girl with blonde hair and green eyes and carried a surf board. "Our surfer chick Bridget." He introduced getting a smile from the surfer. "What's up?" She asked with Duncan scoffing. "Nice board, but this an't Malibu." She informed her getting a frown from the girl. "I thought we'd be on a beach." She admitted causing Chris to wave his hand. "We are." He clarified to the trash covered beach.
Sighing she moved past Chris accidentally pumping into him only for Geoff to quickly approach her, "Hey I'm Geoff." He introduced causing multiple campers to be forced to duck as she turned towards him only to do it again when Beth greeted her.
Chris grumbled as he decided to move on. "Our next camper is Noah." He said as as a teen with brown eyes and hair arrived. "You got my memo about my life threatening alleges?" He questioned getting a shrug from the host. "I'm sure someone did." He said causing Noah to roll his eyes. "Perfect is this where we're staying?" He questioned.
"Nope it's your mom's house and we're throwing a party." Duncan told him as he crackled his knuckles getting a hum from the bookworm. "Nice piercings you do them yourself?" He questioned causing Duncan to grab him by the lip. "Yeah you want one?" He offered with Noah blinking lazily. "No can I have my lip back please?"
Okay so the bookworm has some backbone. Duncan could respect that so with a nod he released the bookworm getting a "Thanks." in return.
Next up was a girl whose brown hair was in a pony tail that matched her eyes and the guys couldn't help but noticed how well gifted she was. "What's up Y'all Leshawna's in the house!" She said as she left the boat. "Yo baby, how're you doing?!" She questioned as she high fives Chris. "Feel free to quit now and save yourselves the trouble cause I came to win!" She told the others before noticing Harold examining certain parts of her.
"I've never meet a girl like you before." He said at last and the guys immediately took a step back though Leshawna smirked in amusement as she quirked her brow. "Excuse me?" She asked knowing the effect she had on people and was always willing to give people the chance to recover.
However that went to waste as Harold continued. "You're just so big and loud." He told the girl who in an instant tried to lunge at him only to be held back by Gwen and DJ. "Easy girl I know he's a jerk but he's also an enhanced, e ranked but still." DJ tried to reason with the sister and luckily it went through as after a deep breathe through her nose she managed to calm down though that nearly broke when she saw the arrogant smirk on his face.
The ear piece Chris was wearing came to life and after hearing what was said Chris gained a megawatt smile. "Really he's next are your sure?!" The shot asked wanting to be absolutely sure. After a few more seconds Chris's smile widened even further before clearing his throat. "Okay everyone our next contestant is an enhanced and a very special one at that." Chris told the campers who were watching him with curiosity.
"When I first got the go ahead of allowing enhanced to join the rest of the campers I was willing to take any enhanced of any rank." Chris explained before laughing. "But man I never imagined we'd get an s rank of all things!" He admitted with the campers eyes going wide at that information but before they could ask any questions Chris indicated to an approaching boat.
"My I present to you the sage of nature and master of spirts!" Chris said savoring the looks of awe and disbelief as well as fear and panic from a couple of them.
"The S class Shaman class hunter and Shaman King himself, Vergil!"
(couldn't find who made this but they did an amazing job!)
As Vergil left the boat he looked around and inspected his surroundings before glancing towards Chris who had a cheesy grin on his face and Vergil couldn't help but snort. "Considering all I heard about you, I expected worse." He admitted with Chris's smile widening. "Oh believe me when I say I'm just get started." He promised causing the shaman to grunt as he approached the other campers.
Upon seeing their looks he gulped sightly as he raised his hand. "Uh hi." He greeted the group who seemed to snap back to reality and quickly surrounded him.
"Vergil man I can't believe I'm meeting you man!" Geoff shouted with an excited grin as he rapidly shock the teen's hand before being pushed to the side by Duncan. "Dude what the hell is a big shot like you doing on this crappy little show?" He questioned but didn't get an answer as Gwen yanked him back.
"Okay so this is completely out of character for me." Gwen was quick to say before a smile reached her lips. "But thank you for all you've done for the environment. Purifying polluted bodies of water, restoring ecosystems and helping endangered animals repopulate. You've done so much and I can't thank you enough." She said before allowing herself to be pushed away with the crowd.
Before any of the campers could say anything else an air horn blared through the area forcing everyone to cover their ears and turn to Chris. "Okay Kiddies you can bug him later, for now we've got a schedule to keep." He grinned just as the next boat arrived dropping off two girls. The first was tan and and skinny while the other was pasty and on the heavy side. "Ladies, Katie and Sadie, welcome to your new home for the next eight weeks." Chris greeted them.
"Oh my gosh look Sadie a summer camp!" Katie gushed as Sadie nodded her head and clapped her hands together. "Okay, I've always wanted to go to summer camp!" She said before squealing with Katie as they ran off leaving behind a confused Chris.
Next up came a teen with brown hair and gray eyes."Ezekiel, what's up man?" He said only for the teen to actually look up. "I think I see a bird." This repose actually got a laugh from some of the other teens as the others looked at the teen questionably. Chris sighed as but decided to help the teen out.
"Okay look dude I know you don't get out much, been homeschooled your whole life." Here the teen gave a nod. "While being raised by freaky prairie people. Just don't say much and try not to get kicked off to soon." Chris told the teen who nodded and joined the others who were honestly at a loss of what to say.
Next up was a brown haired teen with blue eyes. "Cody, the Code-ster, the Code-mister." Chris introduced causing Cody to grin and reveal a gap in his teeth as he high fives the host. "Psyched to be here man. I see the ladies have already arrived." He said with a grin while missing the looks he was getting from them.
Next up was a fierce looking woman with black hair and brown eyes that Chris named as Eva. As she walked she ignored Cody's high-five and dropped her bag with a metal clank right on his foot causing Cody to jump around in pain. "What's in there? Dumbbells?" He couldn't help but ask. "Yes" Was her immediate answer before her eyes drifted towards Vergil for a moment.
Everyone's attention was stolen by the arrival of the next camper and aside from Vergil, Heather and Eva everyone went slack jaw at the new arrival.
He had blond hair and black eyes but on one was paying attention to that but rather his physique.
(This is what he's wearing)
"Everyone please welcome B ranked Tanker class hunter, Owen the Glutton!" Chris introduced the teen who raised his arm in greeting as he gave them a smile. "Hi, how's it going?" He asked only for Eva to yell and charge towards him, her fist raised. Owen's grin widened as he giggle a bit before grabbing her once she came close enough and threw her clear across the dock into the water on the other side.
Beth and Bridget raced to help her and get her back onto the dock as some of the others lauhged. "Oh my god Eva, are you okay?!" Bridgett asked frantic as the girl shock the water out of her hair. "Eh just a little wet, no big deal." Eva shrugged with Leshawna scoffing. "Girl was lucky that was all he did." She shrugged with Beth gasping at her in disbelief. Leshawna quirked an eyebrow. "What? We've got an expression where I came from. Don't start what you can't finish." She said.
"Still that might have been a little too excessive." Bridget argued with Eva huffing. "Please he wouldn't dream of hurting me." She said with a tone of absolute certainly. "And you know this how?" Gwen asked with a raised eyebrow.
Eva's answer was blunt. "I think I know my boyfriend well enough to be certain of that." This surprised quite a few people while others didn't care however Heather's eyes widened.
Chris however had been laughing through out all of this. "That was awesome Owen!" He praised the teen who grinned and as he joined the others. "Well I'l be I wasn't just sensing things." Owen grinned. "Good to see you Heather." The giant teen grinned and the rest were suropsied to see the revered girl's expression change to a small smile.
"It's good to see you to Owen." She told him pleasantly a the rest watched the interaction with mounting curiosity. "You two know each other?" DJ asked and Owen nodded. "Yup we've been going into gates together since we were kids." Owen told the campers with Heather nodding. "Yup but we've been kinda out of touch these last couple of months." She said before glancing sideways towards Owen. "And clearly there are certain developments that I haven't been made aware of." She said causing Owen to chuckle sheepishly before glancing over towards Vergil and his eyes widened.
Before he could say anything Heather stopped him. "Not now, we'll talk to him later." She told him quietly causing him to nod and take his place next to DJ who suddenly felt very small.
Chris who had been grinning at the interaction turned as the next boat arrived. "Everyone this is Courtney." He introduced as a brown haired girl with freckles gave a friendly wave. However her face for a moment changed into one of complete disgust and if she smelled something completely vile and when she spotted Vergil something flickered in her eyes. Both these things lasted less than a second both more than a few caught it and narrowed their eyes at her as she stepped onto the dock.
"Hi you must be other contestants, it'll be nice working with some of yooooouuuuuu." She trialed off as the next camper made his appearance. He was easily the most attractive guy yet with toned muscles, blue eyes and brown hair. The girls, Owen and Vergil seemed completely under his spell, something Justin noticed and smirked at. "This is Justin, welcome to camp." He said with Justin giving the host a fist pump. "Thanks Chris this is great." He said with Chris nodding.
"Just so you know, we chose you purely based on your looks." Chris felt the need to inform. Justin didn't seem to bothered by it judging by his smirk. "I can live with that." He said seeing the effect he had.
"Hey everyone, It's the B ranked rouge class hunter Izzy the orange flash." He introduced a girl with green eyes and orange Frizzy hair. "Hi, Chris hi!" She called running and summersaulting through the air to reach the dock before rushing towards the campers. "Big O, Heather-Feather!" She cheered running up to them and giving them each a hug.
"Good to see you Izzy." Heather chuckled softly before pointing towards Owen. "You're not going to believe it but Owen here actually has a girlfriend." She revealed before moving her finger to Eva. To her surprise however Izzy grinned and ran over to her. "Hey there Eva, it's great seeing you again!" She said getting a nod from the bodybuilder.
"Wait you knew?!" Heather demanded getting a nod from the girl. "Yup meet her when she came with Owen to clear a gate I happened to be at too." Izzy told the girl with Eva shrugging. "We were finishing up a date when he got the call and I just decided to go with him." She said simply casting Heather to nod, that made sense.
Chris regained their attention with his air horn. "Alright people I'm going to introduce our last camper as well as the last enhanced but before I do there is something you should know." Chris said grinning as he saw some curious but cautious looks while others narrowed their eyes,
"Now while we're shooting here in Canada with all of you being Canadian as well the producers thought it would help boost ratings if we saved a spot for our friends down south in the US of A." Chris explained before letting out a laugh. "But man never in my life did I think we'd hit the absolute jackpot!" He admitted causing everyone to look at each other before turning to Vergil whose eye was narrowed at Chris as they all wandered the same thing.
Just who could cause Chris to call them a jackpot over Vergil?
Suddenly the sky went dark and when everyone's eyes widened at just what caused it.
Chris smile was threatening to split his face as he made his final introduction. "Hailing from Savanah Georgia, he became a national ranked hunter at the age of 6 after his involvement in the night of the demonic march, he's often called the king of the dead and monsters!" Chris continued as the dragon got closer and closer to the island. "He's the world's greatest mage and assassin class hunter." Chris said as the a small figure jumped off the dragons head and landed on the dock.
"It's Wes."
(He's wearing what All Might's wearing with the demon skull being the belt buckle.)
Wes grinned before turning to the dragon. "Thanks Kamish." He told the beast who lowered his head. "Of course my king. I will always be ready to serve." The dragon promised before disappearing in a flash. Turning back around he walked over to Chris and fist pumped him. "Well that showy enough for you?" He asked getting a grin from the host. "Oh absolutely!" He said getting a nod from Wes.
"These the other contestants, seems like a good group." He said with some of them smiling at the praise but Courtney was far from happy. "This is unacceptable!" She screamed stomping over to the host. "It's bad enough you've got us near these frea- enhanced who already have enough of an advantage but now you're bringing an a natural level of all things?! This just screams of foul play!" She shouted with Chris not even blinking.
"Trust me Courtney we have done everything in our power to make things as fair as possible, and we'll get to that in just a second but first we need a promo shot so everyone to the edge of the dock." Chris ordered as he jumped onto Izzy's boat.
Wes meanwhile had taken a spot next to Vergil. "Well can't say I was expecting to see the famous shaman king here." Wes told the white haired teen who smiled in response. "I think the same could be said about you." He fired back with Wes shrugging. "What can I say, my friends talked me into it." Wes admitted with Vergil nodding.
"Same here, one friend of mine in particular was very persuasive." Vergil muttered. "Nice tattoo by the way." He said looking down at the ashen haired teen's left arm.
"Thanks honestly getting was no big deal, it's what came after that hurt." Wes said with Vergil quirking an eyebrow at the wording before understanding past through his eye and he nodded with a grin. "Yours is pretty cool too." Wes said glancing down at the mark on Vergil's arm.
"It's nice but I don't think it's like yours." Vergil admitted with Wes shrugging. "Never said it had to be" Wes said with Vergil looking away with a small blush as he moved a bit closer.
Chris meanwhile was fiddling with his camera. "Okay everyone, one, two three." He said before clicking the button only for nothing to happen as the campers frowned. "Oops forgot the lens cap." He admitted before fixing it. "Okay hold that pose. One, two-- wait a minute, card's full." He said getting annoyed mutters from the campers as Wes and Vergil signed in annoyance.
A second later Vergil suddenly stiffened. "What's wrong?" Wes asked with a raised eyebrow only for his eyes to widen before they narrowed in annoyance. "Of course." He groaned as he transparent blue sphere appeared in his hands
"Alright everyone say Wawanaka." Chris said as he raised his camera, the campers did so but before they could finish the dock gave way but before they could fall in they suddenly vanished only to reappear on the shore nearby and while most of the enhanced could stay on their feet, Harold along with the non powered campers tumbled to the ground.
Wes and Vergil however were hovering in the air as they slowly landed. "Got the Room out just in time." Wes muttered with Vergil nodding. "Yeah your Observation is pretty good." the shaman praised getting a shrug from Wes. "Eh it's okay but I'm better at Armament and my speciality is Conquers." Wes admitted with Vergil nodded. "For me Armament is my weakest than Conquers with Observation being my specialty." Vergil said with Wes snorting. "I'm not surprised considering how far ahead you saw." Wes told Vergil who grinned back at him
Meanwhile Chris was taking pictures nonstop as he laughed. "That was amazing everyone! Now dust yourselves off and meet me by the campfire in 10!" He said pointing to the meeting place before heading there as he rubbed his hands together in glee.
This was going to be awesome!
Line break.
Soon everyone had gathered at the campfire where Chris was waiting for them, though he had a metal suitcase next to him. " Campers this is camp Wawanaka, your home for the next eight weeks. The campers around you will be your cabin mates, your competition and maybe even your friends." He told them with the group looking around. Some with smiles liking the idea, others with suspicious looks not trusting each other while the rest scoffed, coming here to win and nothing else.
"Now we're going to split you into two teams but first we have to address a point Courtney brought up earlier, so with will the six enhanced please step forward" Chris said as he picked up the suitcase and opened it as the six did so.
Inside the case there were 6 bracelets. 4 looked like high tech wrist watches while the last two were covered in tiny chains with magical gems gems embedded into them. "Now for those unaware these are power detectors and nullifiers. Heather, Harold, Owen and Izzy will wear the detectors at all times during challenges when the use of powers are not allowed. And should they pick up the use of power they will be instantly eliminated." Chris warned. "But don't worry they will only be activated during challenges and you're free to use your abilities outside of the challenges."
The 4 took their bracelets and looked them over though Harold had a smirk on his face as his fingers started to glow green however the moment that finger touched it he was instantly zapped with an electric shock.
"Nice try Harold but we had these specially made knowing exactly what you 4 were capable of." Chris chuckled seeing the nerd scowl as the others laughed and giggled at him. "Now as for Wes and Vergil, we know both of you have ways around the detectors so thanks to a few connections we're able to get our hands on these bad boys." Chris explained with a grin. "But don't worry outside of challenges they won't be activated." Chris promised. "A special remote will be used to turn them off and on."
And this was absolutely true, not only was it something that producers were absolutely serious about but Chris couldn't image just how powerful the two teens in front of him were and knew not to intentionally piss them off to much.
"Who has the remote for them?" Vergil asked looking Chris over for any signs of it. Chris immediately held up his hands. "Oh don't you worry, the remote is safe and sound in cable hands." Chris promised knowing how serious it was for the remote to remain safe.
The two boys however attached their devices to their wrist and could feel their powers seemingly be locked away. "So how do you feel?" Chris asked with both boys shrugging. "We'll mange." Wes answered with Vergil nodding as many of the campers snorted to themselves. They knew those in the s class were already considered monsters, losing their powers wasn't going to slow them down much,
Unknown to the others both boys tried and succeeded to activate their Haki which made since considering it wasn't dependent on their enhanced abilities. 27 years ago a Buddhist monk had suddenly awakened in a cold sweat from a vision. The monk shaken from what he had seen tried to put into effect at what he saw and true enough it worked.
It wasn't long before Haki had spread across the world and it turned out to be a blessing as hunters learned to harness it because it wasn't long before monsters above a certain level could access it as well with it being common place among S ranked and even upper A ranked dungeons.
Heather however raised an eyebrow decided to test the detector so with a wave of her hand, a blue screen appeared in front of her as the detector started to emit a bright light and release a constant peep.
"So this is a screen." Bridget muttered as she looked it over knowing it was something all enhanced were cable of doing. "Yes it is and do you mind?" Heather asked with a raised eyebrow causing Bridget to blush and back away while muttering apologies knowing that each enhanced screen held personal information on them.
"Kinda seems weird that you brought in enhanced and not allow them to use their powers." Heather commented. Courtney scowled and was about to "argue" against this statement when Chris chuckled. "Oh don't you worry about that Heather we won't leave you enhanced hanging." Chris said. "Because there will be certain challenges when they enhanced are allowed free range to use their powers." Chris revealed causing them to grin at that knowledge and others to gasp but before they could say anything Chris held up a piece of paper.
"Now here's how things are going to work. Girls get one side of the cabin while dudes get the other. I don't care who takes which." Chris was quick to say before he looked down at the paper. "Now if I call your name go stand over on the left." He intersected before reading them off.
"Ezekiel, Tyler, Izzy, Cody, Sadie, Courtney, Harold, Trent, Leshawna Bridget,Geoff and Gwen. You all will be known as the Screaming Gophers!" Chris informed as he threw them a green flag with a furious looking gopher. "It's like amazing." Harold marveled along with the others as they missed Sadie's heartbroken look on his face as she started into the terrified eyes of her BFFFL.
"Now than Wes, Vergil, Owen, Duncan, DJ, Lindsey, Justin, Beth, Noah, Eva, Heather and Katie you will be known as the Killer Bass!" He said throwing them a red flag with a scowling bass on it. "I'm a bass! Now that is cool!" Owen laughed as he looked over the flag and they too missed Katie's look.
"Alright campers you and your teams will on camera at all times in all public areas." Chris informed.
(Static to Confession Cam or CC for short.)
"You'll be able to let out your innermost thoughts on video tapes any time you want. Let the audience know what you're really thinking or just get something off your chest." Chris explained with a smile as he sat in an outhouse.
CC-Gwen
"Um okay." Gwen muttered as she looked around trying to figure out what to say before sighing and looking towards the camera. "So far this sucks." She said. "We've been lied to, taken to the middle of nowhere to a place that looks like it's a slashers hideout along along with a group of people who's cable of who knows what." She vented as her features became a scowl. "Add in the enhanced and it looks like coming here was a complete waste of time.
CC-Lindsey
Lindsey's back was to the camera as she rested her hands on her hips. "I don't get it where's the camera guy?"
CC-Duck
Somehow a duck had gotten into the stall and was in the middle of applying lipstick before it noticed the camera.
CC-Owen
Owen laughed as he sat down. "Man this place is already better than I imagined it would be. Not only am I here with my old hunting friends Heather and Izzy but I also get to compete with Eva and meet a lot of new awesome people!" Owen cheered. "Not to mention Wes and Vergil man those two are my heroes and I can finally meet them." He laughed before he stopped suddenly and narrowed his eyes.
"There are one or two people I'll need to keep an eye on though."
CC-Vergil
Vergil was resting his head in one of his hands and was sitting crossed leg on the toilet. "Well this has gone about as well as I expected. Being lied to, having my power sealed away and being gawked at by the other competitors and who knows what Chris has in store for us." Vergil sighed as he twirled the toilet paper around before facing the camera and gave a shrug. "I don't know, I mean having Wes here does make things a little easier considering he and I are kinda in the same boat." He trialed off before resting his hands on his face and groaning.
"Why did I let Charlie talk me into this?"
CC-Wes
Wes was leaning against the toilet seat with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed as he wore a grin. "Well I'm not even here for 10 minutes and this place is already better than I thought it would be." He laughed as he leaned forward and rested his hand on his legs. "Gotta admit when my friends and family told me about this I was skeptical at best." He admitted. "But they were persistent, said I was spending too much time in the dungeons and I need a break.: And after thinking it over I decided to give it a try." He explained before letting out a laugh,
"And man I am not disappointed. The other contestants look awesome, the island seems fun and from what I heard Chris has some fun in stored for us. But honestly I'm most interested in Vergil. After all It's not everyday I get to meet another guy like me." He said with a grin. "It'll be nice to talk to someone who knows what this life is like."
Static
"Alright gang any questions?" Chris looked around and when he saw no hands or people coming forward he nodded. "Well then let's go find your cabins." He told them leading them a small distance until they came to a clearing with tow run down cabins.
"Gopher are in the east cabin while Bass are in the west." He instructed as he let them go explore their new homes. Heather couldn't help but comment. "They really are going all out with this summer camp thing aren't they?" She muttered with Eva humming not minding it.
One the other side of the cabin the guys were finish settling in when a yelp followed by a crash were heard causing them to run out and see what was going on only to find Duncan laughing and Cody laying dazed on the ground. "The geek tried to hit on the goth so she tossed him like a sack of garbage!" Duncan managed to explain before he was joined by the guys in laughter.
Lindsey meanwhile asked Chris were the outlets were with the host explaining they were in the communal bathrooms much to her confusion. And when Gwen informed her that meant they would be showering together causing her to have a mini breakdown as the guys watched deadpanned. "So I was hoping we'd have co-ed dorms but I think we might have just dodged a bullet boys." Duncan muttered with the others nodding in agreement.
Chris meanwhile was speaking with Geoff. The party dude was asking about chaperones with Chris reminding him that they were all 16 and that aside from the camera crew, himself and a few others they would be unsurprised.
Chris left after that informing them that they need to be in the main lodge soon leaving the campers to themselves only for Linsey to let out an ear piercing scream. "Man that girl can scream." Leshawna muttered as they peaked inside. Lindsey was standing on a stool having been cornered by a roach and was screaming for someone to kill it.
A small panic broke out as the campers either tried to squash it or get out of its way as it scurried around the floor. Duncan appeared suddenly at the door with an axe raised high to kill the roach only for the axe and the roach to suddenly disappear. "An axe, how mature Duncan." Vergil muttered sarcastically holding the axe in one hand and the roach in the other.
Ducan stared in shock as Vergil calmly put the axe down. "You guys head to the lodge I'll meet you there as soon as I find a place for him" Vergil promised as he headed out the door leaving a stunned silence.
That was until Duncan felt a force slam in his back. Barley staying on his feet he turned and saw Wes standing there with a smirk. "Nice try man but when there's a shaman around, you won't even be able to get close to harming an animal." Wes told him before heading for the door. "Now let's head to the lodge." He suggested as he went out the door as the others followed slowly behind him
Line break.
The 24 campers now stood in the lodge as a voice shouted from the kitchen. "Listen up! I serve it 3 times a day and you will eat it 3 times a day! So grab your trays, get your food and sit your asses down now!" The voice roared and the owner was just as intimidating.
This was Chef Hatchet, real name having been removed from public records per his request. was a former soldier and current A ranked berserker class hunter known as Hatchet the Butcher. The food in question looked unsavory at best but a single look from the cook stopped any complaints from coming.
One thing that some of the campers noticed was that the enhanced portions were much larger than the none enhanced but that didn't surprised anyone considering it was common knowledge that enhanced individuals need more food than average humans. However what did surprise them was the amount of respect Heather, Owen, Izzy, Wes and Vergil were giving him, and looking towards Harold he could shrug not knowing who he was. "Uhm Heather who exactly is this?" Beth asked something everyone was wondering.
"This Beth is the A ranked berserker class hunter known as Hatchet the butcher. He's gone into countless dungeons with only cooking tools and utensils such as knives and meat mallets. He's responsible for saving the lives of thousands of hunters and civilians." Heather told the campers who were all looking at the man who growing amounts of respect and awe. "But I gotta ask what are you doing on a show like this?" Heather asked with the chief just waving her off.
"Eh that's a long story, just take your food and eat." He told Heather who nodded and left. The last two up were Wes and Vergil and it was clear their portions were the largest, even bigger than Owen's. "Sirs." He nodded towards the two teens surprising most of the campers. The two nodded in thanks but didn't move for a second which made Chef nervous.
"Chef." Wes said after a few seconds with a raised eyebrow. "Are you the one holding the remote to these cuffs?" Vergil continued with Chef nodding at once. "Yes sir, got it right here." He said brining it out. "It's safe and sound in case of emergency." He promised only for Chris to walk in with a frown.
"What the hell Chef? I thought I told you not to tell them you had it." He whined only to shrink back at the cook's glare. "Never mind man you do you." He was quick to say getting a grunt from the Cook.
CC-Chef
"What Chris doesn't seemed to understand is that hunter rankings are like being in the army." Chef explained with crossed arms. "The national level are the generals, the s ranked are the commanders and we at the a ranked or the captains." Chef explained narrowing his eyes. "And considering that I'm holding the key to their restraints I wasn't going to lie to them."
Static
Chris didn't stay long after his talk with chef, only staying long enough to inform them that their first challenge will begin in one hour and they might want to change into their swimsuits. This actually caused Wes to freeze momentary before snapping out of it but was still noticed.
"What's wrong Wes?" Beth asked concerned on her face and in her tone. "Bad experience with water?" She guessed with Duncan snorting. "Please the guy can turn into water and about a thousand other powers. What's he got to be afraid of?" The punk questioned and to his surprise Wes shot him a serious look. "Don't be quick to make assumptions it could get you in to trouble." Wes warned before sighing. "And believe it or not I have more than a little experience with drowning." Wes informed getting concerned looks from his teammates. "Y-You mean you've almost-." DJ stuttered only for Wes to shake his head.
"Not me personally but I have more than enough first hand accounts to known not to take the ocean lightly ." Wes said with the other Bass nodding taking his words to heart. Only Vergil seemed to take his words into consideration and something seemed to click in his mind but decided to ask him later.
"So dude I've gotta ask." Duncan said speaking up after a moment of silence. "What was it like really, The night of the demonic march?" Duncan asked and suddenly everyone was glaring at him. "Dude!" DJ scolded with Duncan glaring back. "What like any of you can say you aren't just as curious as I am." He said causing some to look away. "We may be curious but we have enough tack not to ask him about something so personal so bluntly." Noah rebuked with Duncan scoffing.
"I don't mind." Wes said as he rested arm on the table and his head in his hand a bored look coming to his face. "It's not something I like talking about but I'll answer if someone ask." Wes told them and the Killer Bass and the Screaming Gophers who had been listening in went silent.
The night of the demonic march was a nightmare to this day. 10 years ago in Vegas a gate large enough to swallow the city appeared and broke within an hour as opposed to the regular 7 days. From that gate came thousands of apostle type monsters as well as thousands of high-end and near high end nomu type monsters.
All of them being led by the boss of the dungeon that looked a bird like creature looking to be made out of darkness.
The battle lasted days with hunters arriving to fight the enemy as more and more apostles and Nomu arrived. When the fight was over and monsters were dead only six hunters remaining alive.
Thomas Andre
Liu Zhigang
Christopher Reed
Siddharth Bachchan
Rolón Donaire
Wes Santiago
These six being the only survivors were given the rank of national ranked hunters giving them equal authority to that of a nation. Even Wes who was six at the time was given the title after his part in the war was revealed.
"I don't mind telling you about it, I don't think we have the time right now." Wes said looking to his watch. "If we want to change and meet Chris we need to leave now." He informed getting up from his seat. One by one the other campers followed them some nervous but most confident.
It was their first challenge after all, how bad could it be?
Line break.
The answer was extremely bad as the two teams now stood on at the edge of the mountain overlooking a thousand foot drop into the lake. "Oh shit!" DJ screamed as he started to shake. Chris grinned as he gestured to the cliff. "Okay your challenge to day is 3 fold. Your first task is to jump off this 1000 foot cliff into the lake!" Chris revealed getting terrified looks from some of the campers. "Piece of cake." Bridget however was confident as she exchanged smiles with Tyler, the two sure their team could do it no problem.
To bad Chris wasn't finished.
"If you look down you'll see two target areas. The larger area is the one we've got stocked will psychotic man eating sharks!" Chris finished with a laugh. Getting terrified looks from the campers. "Excuse me?" Leshawna asked wanting to make sure she heard that correct. "Inside that area you'll find a safe zone. That's your target which we're pretty sure is shark free."
"How comforting." Wes muttered and rolled his eyes wearing a a black swimming shirt along with matching trunks.
"For each member of your team that jumps and actually survives, you'll receive a map, shovels, hooks and ropes that will be essential for the next part of your challenge. But more on that after the challenge." Chris informed getting worried looks from the campers.
CC- Bridget
"Okay wow this is already pretty intense." Bridget said slightly worried. "I mean a cliff dive is fine, people do stuff like that all the time and the sharks are almost definitely trained. And even if they weren't we have the enhanced to deal with them." Bridget started before she rubbed her arm nervously. "But it's the second part I worried about because by the sounds of it we're essentially going on a treasure hunt and I'm worried about what it is were searching for if we need hooks and ropes to get it."
Static.
"Now who wants to go first?" Chris said looking around and most of the campers looked like going first was the last thing they wanted. "Eh don't worry about guys. They must have tested this before hand. All reality shows do." Owen said trying to reassure the teams with varying degrees of success.
'Not exactly.' Chris thought with a grin. This was one of the last challenges they got ready and didn't exactly have time to test it. 'Luckily I had the perfect solution.' Chris praised himself. Down below in the water. Chef was glowering as he swam under the water with scuba gear on to make sure the kids didn't get more than a scare from the sharks. 'I swear if I see one scratch on my boat, the intern and Chris are going to get it!' He promised swatting another shark that tried to attack him.
Up above Briddget sighed and walked to the edge. 'Well here goes nothing.' She thought as she bent her knees. "Wait a minute, hold up!" Chris yelled quickly causing Bridget to stumble and nearly go over had Geoff not quickly grabbed her. "Thanks." She told him with a smile getting one in return before she leveled a glare at the host.
"What is it?" She asked getting a grin from Chris. "We need to decided on team captains!" He told the two teams cheerfully getting groans from all around.
CC-Heather.
"That's just what we need." She said with a roll of her eyes, wearing a one piece suit like Eva's and sitting cross legged. "Not only are we handing over leadership and power to someone complete stranger but it could also very well lead to infighting which I'm sure is exactly what Chris wants." She huffed before crossing her arms and looking towards the camera. "Lucky for us, there's only two real candidates on our team."
Static
As one the Killer Bass turned to Wes and Vergil the later wearing grey trunks. The two looked towards each other before Vergil waved his hands. "It's all yours." He offered with Wes quirking an eyebrow. "You want the foreigner to lead?" He asked with the shaman shrugging. "More like I want the national ranked to lead." He replied and after a moment Wes shrugged. "Sure why not." He said before turning to Chris. "I'll do it." He told the host who wrote it down on his clipboard.
"I'M DOING IT!" The sudden shot came from Courtney as she butted heads with Harold both wanting to lead. "Excuse me, who's the enhanced here, who's the hunter? What do you know about leadership?" The ginger challenged getting a growl.
"I am a CIT, a councilor in training. I am the only one here who has previous camping experience and knows what she's doing. Instead of just going through some weird portal and killing things. And when I say I'm doing it I'M DOING IT!" She finished with a scream as she shoved Harold so hard he fell screaming off the edge of the cliff.
As the cast ran to see the nerd screaming for his life Duncan couldn't help but comment. "Well looks like we're down to 23." He muttered getting a swat to the back of the head from Bridget. Harold did survive the fall but the guys and even sharks collectively winced as he landed right on his crotch causing him to sink painfully into the water.
The Screaming Gophers turned to glare at Courtney who stood there glaring and crossed arms. "What someone needs to take charge and I'm the best person for the job." She declared before placing one hand on her hip and pointed towards the cliff with the other.
"Not get to jumping. NOW!" She finished with a shout. The team was now actively glaring at her and a few looked like they wanted to shout at her, Leshawna in particular looked like she was about to start breathing fire. However they knew they couldn't fight in front of the other team which is what they were hoping for given by the looks on some of their faces.
Besides they had a challenge to complete so with one last glare they jumped one by one. Some screaming In fear which others cheered as they went down though Tyler did have a bit of an issue when he cashed into one of the buoys.
Finally the only three left were Courtney, Izzy and Sadie. "Well who's next?" He asked turning to the three girls. "I'm not jumping without Katie!" She protested with Katie joining. "Please can we be on the same team?!" She said with the two then begging to be one the same team. Izzy watching this gained a smirk as an idea popped into her head. "I'll trade places with her." Izzy offered.
"That's kind of you Izzy but for a swap to work both team captains need to agree." Chris informed. Chris knew he had to be careful when it comes to the enhanced. He had to fight tooth and nail to get the enhanced on his show and had to make sure he followed the rules he was given by the producers.
Courtney however looked interested. "Well let's not be to quick to dismiss the idea now." She said a little two quickly before clearing her throat. "I mean if neither of them will compete without the other it would be disadvantageous of both sides." Courtney explained with Chris looking towards the Killer Bass. "Wes what do you say?" He asked the team captain who looked at his team.
"Well guys what do you think?" He asked wanting his team's opinion before he made his decision. "Trading Tweedle dee for another enhanced. I'm in." Duncan was quick to agree with Owen and Heather both instantly for this plan. The other bass were also in agreement with Wes nodding. "If everyone's willing then I won't complain." Wes said as hope appeared in the BFFFL's eyes.
Chris phone suddenly rang and he quickly turned away. "Yeah they're all in agreement. Yeah, Yeah I can't believe it either!" Chris laughed as he hung up and turned around with a smile. "The producers have given the go ahead. Izzy, you're on the Killer Bass. Katie Sadie you're on the Screaming Gophers." Chris informed getting cheers from Katie and Sadie and causing Izzy to jump and cheer as she ran over to the bass.
CC-Izzy
"Yeah I'm with Heather-feather and Big O!" Izzy laughed happy as she bounced in the stall. "My master plan worked like a charm!"
CC-Cortney
"I know what everyone's thinking. Why trade an enhanced for the sake of a friendship but it's like I said Katie and Sadie were refusing to compete while competing on other sides and that was only going to stagger both sides." Courtney said. "So as the leader of the team I made the only reasonable choice. Even if it means losing a-" Cortney grimaced here and looked like she was having to fight to get the words out. "extraordinary team member like Izzy." She finished with a grimace.
Static
"Looks like you're up girls!" Chris told the best friends who cheered and jumped off the cliff. As they fell into the water Chris turned towards Courtney. "You're not worried are you?" He said with a raised eyebrow. "Worried about what?" She asked with Chris shrugging with a grin as he crossed his arms. "Trading away one of your own team members with out consulting the rest of the team." He clarified with Courtney scoffing. "Please as the leader of the Screaming Gophers, I know my team will accept each and every one of my decisions without question." Courtney spoke without a hint of doubt.
"SHE DID WHAT?!"
The roar of rage from Leshawna was heard loud and clear and it made Chris snicker. "Without question huh?" He asked.
CC-Leshawna
"So apparently we can't leave our oh so wise leader alone." The sister huffed before slamming her hand into the side of the stall in anger.
Static
"Well Courtney, you're the last one so get to jumping." Chris said only for the CIT to huff. "Please I'm not doing this. It's insane. She said before sticking her nose into the air. "Besides I've seen the other team. I doubt ten of them will jump." She said with Chris shrugging. "Fine then. but you'll have to wear this for the rest of the day." Chris said brining out a chicken head and placed it on her head. "You can't be serious." She protested only for Chris t flab his arms and squawk like a chicken.
"That means the chicken path down is that a way." He said pointing behind him to where an escalator was waiting. "The Killer Bass blinked. "That-that wasn't there before right?" DJ asked more than a little weirded out at the sudden appearance. "No it wasn't." Beth said
As Courtney rode the escalator down Chris held up his clipboard. "Okay so that's 11 jumpers and 1 chicken. Bass if you can beat that we'll throw in a few pull carts that will make the next part much easier." Chris offered with the Bass grinning at this. "Right so how do we do this?" Noah asked with Wes speaking up. "I say we go all at once as a group. The gophers are already starting to become divided so we need to show a unity." Wes suggested with Vergil nodding. "Plus I think it'll ease the nerves of those that might be scared to jump." He added as the group looked towards Lindsey, Beth and DJ who looked nervous.
"I'm sorry but I don't think I can do it." Beth said looking down in shame with DJ nodding. "Yeah man I've got a fear of heights so I don't really know if I can jump." DJ admitted and like Beth he looked down in shame.
"And what's wrong with that?" Owen said as he wrapped an arm around around the gentle giants shoulder. "DJ my man fear is nothing to be ashamed of, it keeps us alive and prevents us from doing something stupid." The tanker explained. "He's right but what's important is that you don't let it control your life. Fear only has as much control as you let it have." Heather added on with Izzy grinning. "Besides didn't you hear the supreme commander? We're going to all jump together and we won't anything happen to you." She said with a grin while behind her Wes blinked at the title she had given him and looked confused towards his team only for them to be laughing quietly at the title.
The 3 were looking towards the hunters each giving them encouraging looks and behind them the rest of the teams were doing the same to various degrees.
The 3 took a deep breathe before nodding, getting grins from the rest of the team. "Well is everyone ready?" Chris asked impatiently wanting to get away from the friendship speeches and back to the drama. At everyone's nod Chris gestured to the edge. "Well." He said he said as they all got into running position. "GO!" Chris shouted as the Killer Bass screamed and charged as one jumping off the cliff. There was screaming, cheering and laughing as they fell. Beth and DJ the loudest as Beth tired to get into a crude diving pose while DJ did a cannon ball. The impact caused a splash that reached the shore.
A second alter the entire team surfaced cheering and laughing. "That was awesome!" Owen laughed as he swam to the shore. "It was so scary but fun at the same time!" Beth said with a grin.
"The winners the Killer Bass!" Chris announced over his mega horn on top of the cliff. "Not going to jump huh?!" Leshawna snarled towards Courtney who had arrived at the bottom and explained her reasoning. The CIT humphed before turning away. "Whatever it's not like it matters. This is a three part challenge, we'll just win the next two parts." Courtney waved away as Chris arrived.
"Alright people let's move on to the next part of your challenge." Chris said. "But we're still in our swimsuits." Lindsey said with Chris raised an eyebrow. "Your point?" He asked before moving on. "Now then on to the second part of the challenge. Finding and locating 12 crates that are filled with the supplies you need to build a wicked hot tub." Chris informed. "The team that builds the best hot tub will enjoy a wicked hot tub party tonight, the loser will send someone home." Chris informed them.
"To find the crates you'll be using the maps I motioned earlier." Chris said as an intern passed out twelve maps to each team. "Hey wait a minute, I thought you said we'd only if we get a map if we jumped. Why is princess getting one?" Duncan asked with the other bass agreeing seeing the CIT to get a map. "Because without one it would be impossible to find it." Chris informed before grinning. "Besides her map won't be as useful as the others." Chris informed causing Courtney to frown and look towards her map.
"Wait a minute what is this?!" She demanded as she showed her map that instead of an ex where each of the other crates were located it was a circle. "Yup because of her refusal to jump Courtney's map will only give her an idea of where her crate was located within a two mile radius." Chris informed getting panicked looks from the Gophers.
"Once you located your crates you will have to dig a hole twelve feet deep and 10 feet wide before bringing it up to the surface." Chris informed getting groans from the teams but Killer Bass less so considering they had more physically strong members. "Once all 12 crates have been dug up you will take them back to the campsite and proceed to open the crates with your teeth before building your hot tubes." He said before looking towards his watch. "It's a little before noon. You have until the sun is set to finish building your hot tubes. If neither team is able to finish their hot tub both teams will face elimination." Chris finished his explanation.
"Bass because you had more jumpers we'll throw in 4 carts for you to use." Chris said before grinning towards the Gophers. "Too bad for you gophers. Had you matched with the bass you would have gotten 2 of those 4 carts. Oh well." He finished with a shrug.
CC-Beth
"Oh thank goodness I jumped." The farmer girl breathed out in relief. "Now we know where all of our creates are and have all the carts." She said with a smile. "I'm so glad I was able to conquer my fear and jump."
Static
"Feel free to strategize guys but know that you're burning day light." Chris warned as he left the area.
The Killer Bass immediately huddled together. "Okay here's what I'm thinking. 4 teams with each team grabbing three crates." Wes immediately suggested. "Agreed we also should split up the enhanced." Heather added. "Wes, Vergil, and Owen are each on their own teams while Izzy and I make up the fourth." Heather suggested getting more nods.
"Right I think I got it" Wes said looking over all the maps. "Dj goes with Izzy and Heather, Owen takes Eva and Noah, Vergil with Beth and Lindsey and I'll take Justin and Duncan. Any objections?" Wes asked looking around. "Sounds like a plan." Duncan smirked . "Now let's get moving." The punk said as the Killer Bass took their maps digging supplies, pulleys and carts and moved in separate directions.
As they got to work the Screaming Gophers were still arguing. "Well what's your big idea then?" Leshawna said with scowl towards Courtney who had shot down every idea they had. "I say we go and grab each crate one by one. We don't have the muscle to split up." Courtney reminded them with Gwen scowling at her, "And whose fault is that? You're the one who traded away our strongest enhanced." She reminded the group causing Courtney to glance around with shifty eyes,
"It was strategic!" She shouted back before glaring. "Besides I'm the leader of the team! And as such you have to follow my orders and I order all of you to go stick together and and grab them one by one. Now move! We're doing my crate first" She shouted at the end before shoving past them and began to walk missing the glare she was getting.
CC-Gwen.
"If Courtney keeps up this kind of leadership, she'll be facing a mutiny very soon." Gwen said with narrowed eyes.
Static.
'Do they ever shut up?' Vergil thought with a grown having had to listen to Beth and Lindsey chat nonstop as they were on their way to the first buried crate. He thought he could deal with it having the friends he had growing up but these girls were beginning to grate on his nerves.
Mercifully they had finally reached the first of the locations. "Alright we're here." He told the girls as he went over to the cart being pulled by Beth and got the two shovels from the cart. "Let's get to work.' He muttered. And then before the eyes of both Beth and Lindsey Vergil seemed to move at rapid speeds as dirt began to fly his arms beginning to blur as the girls had to take cover behind the cart.
A few seconds later the dirt stooped and the girls went over to see Vergil standing beside the crate in a deep hole. "Stay back I'll bring it up." He said as he lifted it over his shoulder. "Wait a minute Vergil. You don't want to break what's ever in there by accident do you?" Beth shouted down getting an annoyed look from the shaman.
"Well what do you suppose we do?" He asked as he sit the crate down. Beth thought for a moment before surprisingly Lindsey spoke up. "I know! We can French braid it with the ropes!" Lindsey said showing the ropes before jumping down into the hole getting a panicked look from Vergil. 'That idiot!' Vergil thought as he caught the girl and set her down. "What were you thinking?!" He hissed towards her with Lindsey smiling. "Oh I knew you would catch me, and even if you didn't we just jumped off a cliff, how bad could this be?!" she laughed causing Vergil's eye to twitch.
"What was that about French braiding Lindsey?" Beth was quick to say causing Lindsey to smile. "Oh yeah, Victor left the crate please." Lindsey said with Vergil not saying anything at the wrong name and lifted the crate.
Which is why he blinked in surprise when Lindsey's arms became blur as she circled the crate and before stepping back to reveal the create tied masterfully in a French braid fashion. "TA DA!" Lindsey said to a stupefied Vergil.
CC-Vergil
"Okay I'll admit." Vergil said, his eye wide as he gave a nod. "I wasn't expecting that from her." The shaman said his tone still full of disbelief.
Static
"Lindsey how did you do this?" Vergil asked sparing a brief glance up at Beth who seemed to be in the same state as he was. "Oh that's easy, I've had tons of experience French braiding over the years and one thing I've practiced with was rope." Linsey revealed.
CC-Lindsey
"When my older sister was teaching me and Paula how to French Braid she had us start with ropes before trying on other things." Before she frowned as if realizing something. "Now that I think about it though, she never let us try on her hair. Always muttering about not going through what she put mom through."
Static
After checking the ropes and making sure they were secure Vergil grabbed Lindsey by the sholder and jumped with her out of the whole. "Good job Lindsey." Beth told the blonde who grinned. "Thanks I'm just glad I got to help. Plus I got a dry mud rub too." She clapped having dirt covering parts of her body.
Beth and Vergil looked at each other before they decided they had more important things to worry about and moved over to the ropes and with a quick pull the crate was out of the hole with Vergil quickly moving it to the cart.
"Well ladies looks like we've got a game plan. So let's keep moving." He told the two girls who cheered with Beth taking the cart the three moved on to the next location.
Line break.
"Man Izzy you got this hole dug in no time!" DJ marveled at the girl. The team of Izzy, Heather and Dj were hard at work securing their crate Much like Vergil Izzy managed to dig down to their crate in a matter of seconds and after making sure it was wide enough for her teammates Heather and DJ joined the rouge in hole as the secured their crate.
Izzy giggled as she waved the complaint away. "Eh thanks big guy. The guys always said I finished fast, the girls too when I was feeling freaky!" She laughed as DJ openly gasped at her, his cheeks burning. Izzy burst out laughing as Heather groaned. "She's never gone that far with anyone DJ." The archer was quick to assure with Izzy nodding. "Yup if any guy or gal wants this they'll need to put a ring on it!" She laughed.
CC-DJ
"Man I can't believe Izzy would say something like that, even as a joke!" DJ said before scratching the back of his embarrassed. "I mean I've heard those kind of jokes at school but never in the way Izzy said it." He mumbled. "Mama always said it doesn't matter who you love but somethings need to be kept in private."
Static
"Well that should do it!" Izzy said as she dusted off her hands. "Well let's head back up!" She said as she crouched down before looking towards the other two teens. "And no peaking, otherwise I'll charge you for it!" She laughed before leaping high in the air and out of the hole leaving a sputtering DJ and an annoyed Heather. "You'll get use to her DJ, trust me." She said before grabbing his shoulder and leading them out of the hole.
"If you say so." DJ muttered as he and Heather grabbed the ends of the robe. They might not be as physically strong as the B class Izzy but they could still help lighten the load if only slightly. A couple of seconds later the crate emerged from the hole and right into Izzy's arm who quickly ran over to the cart and quickly secured the crate.
"Well let's get a move on, the supreme commander will be displeased if we fail." Izzy said before she ran off laughing, dragging the cart with one hand and looking at the maps with the other leaving the two to glance at each other.
"She's not going to drop the supreme commander thing is she?" DJ asked while torn between amused and concerned for how Wes will take it. "Probably not but Wes didn't seem to mind." Heather shrugged. "Besides it takes a while but everyone eventually gets use to Izzy. Speaking of who we might want to start running if we don't want to lose her." Heather suggested as the two started to run off after the crazy girl.
Though DJ wasn't sure he could ever get used to Izzy.
Line break.
"Are you almost done?" Eva grunted as Noah was going around the ground while placing sticks on the ground. They had found the location for their crate but instead of digging Noah decided to place sticks on the ground. That way they could have owen punch the ground with such force he could blow away the earth covering the crate while keeping the crate itself safe.
"I'd be done already if you stoped asking me." Noah informed the body builder only to lean back as Eva growled at him. Owen seeing the trouble intervened. "Eva come on, it's a good idea let Noah do his thing." He told his girlfriend before turning to Noah. "And Noah it would go faster if you just worked instead of having a retort every time Eva talks." He told the boy who rolled his eyes.
"Noted." He muttered getting another growl from Eva. "I'm finished by the way." He said pointing behind him to a square that made of sticks. "Perfect." Owen said cracking his knuckles. "Now stand back" He said stepping into the square before rearing his sit back before punching the ground.
BOOM
Both Eva and Noah had to cover their faces to prevent dirt from getting into their eyes or mouths. The force would actually send Noah flying had Eva not grabbed him. Once the force died down Eva set Noah on the ground. "Thanks." The bookworm breathed rapidly getting a nod from the body builder just as the crate landed on the ground.
"Nice work Noah." Owen said as he jumped out of the hole just as Eva grabbed the crate and loaded it on the cart. "And good work grabbing him Eva." Getting a smile from the girl who went kissed his check. Owen looked like he wanted to return it but Noah cleared his throat.
"Not that I don't love witnessing PDA but maybe you can save it for after we complete the challenge." Noah suggested causing the two to stop before they nodded as Noah went over and started to pull the cart. "You sure you got that twig?" Eva asked with Noah snorting. "Call it returning the favor for not letting me fly away and payment for the next to times it happens." He told the girl who raised an eyebrow and nodded.
"Well then let's head out guys, Woo Hoo!" Owen said
CC-Eva
"His personality sometimes makes the sun like dull." Eva muttered before smiling and letting out a sigh. "But that's one of the things I love about him."
Static.
"So while my soldiers were holding it down I was able to launch myself clear through the kraken's skull." Wes told Duncan and Justin after the two had requested some stories from him. They were already on their way to the 3rd crate with Duncan's and Justin's crates being close together they were now heading towards Wes's."
"So what you've got a giant squid as a shadow now?" Justin asked looking sick. Wes's shadow soldiers were famous. Having been created from the corpses of the dead. "You think that's the only kraken I've got? I've got an entire school of them." Wes said getting a whistle from Duncan. "Awesome man, think you can show us when the challenge was over. You didn't seem to mind showing off that dragon of yours." Duncan said getting a snort. "First that was Chris just wanting me to make an entrance for the previews but sure I can show you later." He told the punk.
"Giant squids not something I want to be anywhere near, no thank you." Justin said shaking his head. "Oh really and here I thought you'd say something about their ink being good for the skin." Duncan chortled and Wes opened his mouth to respond when Justin did instead.
"Actually kraken ink is incredibly toxic and no amount of diluting it can remove the poison." Justin answered getting surprised looks from the two other teens. "That's right." Wes confirmed with Duncan raising his unibrow. "How did you know that?" He said and Justin gained a small smile. "My uncle. He was a hunter and told me a lot about the monsters he used to fight." Justin smiled and Duncan gained a small smirk.
"He sounds like an amazing guy." The punk told the model who nodded and his smile turned a little strained. "He was." Justin confirmed as the three headed for the last crate in silence.
Finally Duncan broke it. "Sorry to hear that man. Would have loved to meet him." He told the model with Wes nodding getting a grateful look from the model.
CC-Duncan
"Yeah I know what everyone who knows me is going to say." Duncan said rolling his eyes before going high pitch with his voice. "Oh Duncan's going soft. Duncan's losing his edge. Cram it." He finished with a glare, "It's not hard to tell what happen to Justin's uncle and if anyone says it's weak to show emotion over something like that, than there's something seriously wrong with them." The punk finished with a sneer.

As the Bass were speeding on ahead the Gophers were struggling. They had spent the last few hours digging in the general area where Courtney's map told them to dig only for them to hit the wrong place over and over again.
More than once a few of them suggested going off to find the other crates only for Courtney to shout at them to get back to work before making sure no one snuck off when she wasn't looking.
So there they were tired, aching, sweating and in their swimsuits while covered in dirt. "One more time." Leshawna hissed under her breathe. "If that bitch shouts at me for digging in the wrong place one more time I'll being going to prison and she'll be going to into the hole." The sister said only for her the sister to hit something solid. Trent and Ezekiel heard it too judging by their widening eyes. Quickly they cleared away the dirt and sure enough there was a wooden plate.
"WE FOUND IT!" Trent shouted at the top of his lungs as the rest of the team looked over the edge to see and confirm it. "Awesome work guys! Now come back up here so we can dig it out." Bridgett instructed as the 3 climbed the ropes up.
"What are you all waiting for?!" Courtney said upon the three reaching the top. "Grab your shovel and start digging! You guys aren't slowing us down any longer!" She told them. Leshawana felt the last of her patience start to die as for the entire time the had been digging. Courtney hadn't so ,much as touched a shovel let alone dug any and had only been barking orders and insults at everyone.
After her Harold had been the one to dig the least but that was only because he was so bad at it. Despite the fact that he was an enhanced he was still the slowest by far digger and when he did get a shovel full of dirt he often threw them in someone's face.
Gwen grabbed the sisters shoulder and pulled her back. "Leave it for now." She whispered. "Just focus on the challenge." The goth tried to convince her new friend. The sound the sister made was more animal than human but eventually she did nod and the ten gophers got to work digging around the crate until they had a massive hole with the crate in the center.
It was than they had yet another problem. The team was completely exhausted and looked ready to drop at any second and they didn't have the strength to get the crate out of the hole. "This..this is impossible." Trent said dropping to the ground completely out of energy. "How did Chris expect us to do this?" Bridget said barley managing to stay standing.
"I don't know, it's almost like I expected you to have someone on your team that can left a heavy crate."
Everyone jumped when they saw Chris standing on top of hole with an amused smirk on his face. "You kids having fun?" He asked getting a furious look from Leshawna. "Fool we're exhausted here how about some help." She shouted getting a laugh from the host. "And give you all an unfair advantage? I wouldn't dream of it." He laughed. "Besides it wasn't my idea to trade away the one person you had that could left the crate nor did I stop Cortney from jumping." He reminded them causing them all to once more glare at the CIT.
"But I do have a suggestion for all of you, in a way that you might be able to get back in the race." Chris told the Gophers who gained a look of hope. "Really?" Cody panted as he tied to catch his breath. "Yup." Chris nodded. "Just open up the crate, take everything out, carry it all out of the hole along with the crate, put everything back into the crate and move on to the next one." Chris suggested with the campers looking at him in disbelief.
"You're not serious." Gwen muttered with Chris shrugging. "You lot go any better ideas?" He responded. Exchanging pleading but resigned looks the gophers started to move to the crate and try and open it. Only for Chris to blare his air horn. "No, no, no." Chris said wagging his finger. "Remember what I said." Chris told them before pointing to his mouth. "With your teeth." He informed them getting cries of disbelief.
"What just because of your not at the campsite doesn't mean you get out of it and I am perfectly willing to show you the footage of the bass doing it later if need be." Chris told them before smirking, "Now what's it going to be?" He asked with Cortney snarling down at her team. "What are you slackers waiting for?! We've got a challenge to win!"
CC-Leshawna
The sister sat there in her swimsuit, dirty, covered in cuts and bruises and looked to be on the verge of going on a rampage. "Next time." She whispered "The CIT goes first!" She hissed.

The Killer Bass had made it back to the campsite with Chef waiting for them with dozens of buckets. "Alright maggots you know the drill, open the crates, build your hot tubes and don't mess up." The man said with Duncan crossing his arms. "And you're here to supervise us because?" He questioned with Chef cackling. "Gotta make sure you open the crates with your teeth maggot." He replied causing Duncan to scowl he had forgotten that part.
"Don't worry guys I've got this." Owen grinned and before anyone could object they watched Owen rip off the top of the crates like a predator would rip the flesh off its prey. The none enhanced looked on in disbelief and even Chef, Vergil and Wes looked surprise. Owen laughed seeing their response. "What can I say? I'm not called the glutton for nothing." He told them.
"I thought you were called the gluton because they way you-." Izzy started to say only to be silenced by Heather. "No need to bring that up here." She told the rouge who blinked confused but nodded.
"Well then let's get started." Wes said and the guys were about to start working when the clearing of multiple throats went through their ears. Turning they saw the girls standing there looking expectingly. "What?" Duncan asked annoyed they hadn't gotten to work yet. "Sorry boys but we'd like to get changed first." Heather stated as the women started headed to cabin "Oh sure why don't you get your hair done while you're at it." Duncan shouted after them. Vergil added on. "You're just wasting your time, you'r going to get dirty again." The shaman shouted just as the door closed.
The boys rolled their eyes and deiced to get things sorted out and ready for when the girls returned and didn't notice Justin sneaking into their cabin to get changed.
CC-Heather, Lindsey, Beth, Izzy, Eva at the same time.
"Boys" They said with a roll of their eyes.
CC-Wes, Vergil, DJ, Duncan, Owen, Noah at the same time.
"Girls." They said with a roll of their eyes.

Soon enough the girls and Justin returned having changed into their regular clothes. "Alright so let's divide into two teams. A team of builders and a team that gathers water with the buckets who's doing what?" Wes asked the bass. "I'll do the building. Wood shop was the one class I was actually good at." Duncan said stepping forward. "I'll build too." Vergil said raising his hand. "Oh I'll get the water." Beth volunteered with Lindsey and Justin instantly deciding to get water as well.
Eva and Owen both joined the building team to no one's surprise while Heather and Izzy went to help gather water. "I'll help build." Noah said surprising everyone. "What one of my older sisters is a carpenter, I've picked up a few things from her." He explained. DJ was nervous before looking towards Wes. "I'll join the water gathering team if that's okay." He said getting a nod from Wes. "Then I join the building team." Wes said before clapping his hands. "Let's move people the end's in sight! Now let's finish strong!" Wes cheered that was soon joined by the others as they went to complete their task.
CC-Vergil
"Things actually went pretty smoothly after that." The one eyed teen said with a surprised but happy tone. "Everyone on the building team knew exactly what they were doing and were able to communicate with each other and got it done fast while the others were brining back multiple buckets with each trip." Vergil said before shrugging with a grin. "Honestly it only took us about an hour. Now all that we really need to do is purify the water, and either Wes or I could do that once this challenge is over."
Static
"A toast to the Killer Bass!" Wes said as he raised a glass that was soon joined by 11 others. "To the Killer Bass!" They cheered. The team was in the mess hall eating their dinner, having finished their hot tub hours ago. They had been relaxing ever since waiting for the time to expire.
And it nearly had as the sun was just about to set. "Hey guys!" Beth said looking out the window. "The Screaming Gophers are here." The farmer girl said causing them to look out the window. "Well an't that a sight." Duncan laughed as they watched the gophers emerge from the forest.
They were pushing their crates with their bodies rather their hands, and they looked more like zombies than people. Covered head to toe in dirt, grime sweat. Their swim gear ruined and destroyed. And just as they last of them entered the clearing the loud speakers sprang to life.
"AND TIMES UP! IT'S TIME TO JUDGE!"
As if strings controlling them had been cut the gophers dropped to the ground just as The KIller Bass left the lodge as Chris emerged from the woods. "Well let's check out those hot tubes." He said before moving over to the Killer Bass's. After examining the hot tube Chris grinned "This is an awesome Hot tub." He declared getting cheers from the bass before looking over to the Gopher's grates that looked like each had their stuff thrown into them haphazardly.
"Well I think we have our winners." Chris decided before gesturing to the bass "The Killer Bass!" He announced getting cheers from the bass
"Which means the Screaming Gophers are sending someone home tonight." Chris declared with Courtney groaning. "Wait we lost? no way." She protested with Ezekiel nodding the best he could. "I know right, I mean they're the ones with six girls on their team." He muttered weakly getting wide eyes from the male bass members while the female bass members glaring bloody murder at him.
The male Gophers groaned but some how wormed away from him as the female Gophers managed to sit up and glare at him.
Seeing this Chris had an idea. "Oh Chef marshmallows please." He requested as Chef went into his inventory. "Okay so seeing as how everyone's super tired we'll just do the elimination ceremony here. Here's how it will work. All but one member of the losing team will receive a marshmallow and the one that does not will be eliminated."
"Now seeing has your all super tired I'll just say a name and everyone who wants to vote for them say Aye." Chris explained with the host grinning. "Now who wants Ezekiel eliminated?"
"AYE." 11 members of the Screaming Gophers said with the farm boy groaning in defeat. "Well looks like the Gophers have spoken. Ezekiel it's time to go." Chris said as Chef picked up the eliminated contestant and took him to the boat.
"As for the KIller Bass not only are you going to be having an amazing party but also rock this hot tub for the rest of the summer!" He informed getting cheers from the team as Chef brought out various snacks.
As the Gophers dragged themselves to their rooms Duncan cackled. "Sweet dreams Gophers!" He hollered as the party began.
Line break.
"Man what an exciting for day, am I right?" Chris asked speaking to the camera as he stood on the dock. "And what would have been a race ended up being a massacre." The host laughed before continuing. "What kind of challenges do we have in store next? Who will be the next to be eliminated? Find out next time on. Total. Drama. Island.
Line break.
It was well into the celebration party for the Bass and the team was taking full advantage of it now that the cameras were gone for the night. Currently Heather, Izzy, Beth, DJ and Lindsey were relaxing in the hot tub while the others were resting on the steps to their cabin. Everyone but Wes had changed into another swimsuit to enjoy the Hot Tub while Wes was content to relax on the steps.
Their conversations went to various topics until Duncan brought up a strange question. "Hey Wes?" He asked getting the ashen haired teens attention. "What do you got under the shirt?" He asked getting confused looks from the other campers and a hum from Wes.
"It's just you don't seem the type to be bothered by showing off your scars so I figured it was something else." The punk admitted with the rest of the looking towards Wes. "So you wanna know huh?" He asked getting a nod from the punk. "Well you're right I do have something, and I don't mind showing you. The only reason I didn't was it tends to freak people out." Wes admitted getting surprised looks from the others while Duncan leaned forward while rubbing his hands. "Oh I've got to see it now." He said getting a chuckle from Wes as he stood up.
"If you're sure." He said before taking off his shirt. This got the attention of those in the Hot Tub who came over to see what was going on but their words died in their throats as more and more of what Wes kept hidden was revealed until the Killer Bass could see all of it.
No one said a world as they just started at it until Beth managed to squeak. "What is that?" She asked completely petrified. "This Beth is the result of completing a personal guest." Wes answered causing the enhancers eyes to flash with relaxation. Personal quest were next to impossible to complete but rewarded those that did beyond their imagining.
Slowly Duncan turned his head to the other enhanced. "Have any of you compelled a personal guest?" He muttered getting a nod from Vergil. "Yes but I didn't get anything like that." He answered before looking towards Wes. "What exactly did you get from that quest anyway?" He asked getting a laugh from Wes.
"What didn't I get?" Shadows, Skills, Equipment, shit tons of EXP." He said before finishing with a grin,
"And one hell of a ring."
Line break.
There was one more person who had seen this however.
Courtney had come out of the showers just in time to see the mark in its entirety and sneered disgusted at it. Ever since she had come here nothing had gone the way she planned. From getting stuck with a worthless team to being unfairly humiliated on natural tv. Things had only gotten worse and worse.
But that didn't matter. Courtney had always bounced back and claimed victory and one was going to stop her, especially those rancid abominable mistakes of nature enhanced.
To be continued.
And that's chapter one done and I gotta say I am much happier with this. We saw the first challenge through to its entirety and expect more changes in the future to different challenges as well as relationships between different characters.
Wes X Vergil and Owen X Eva are the two that are locked in stone and won't be changing not sure about the others. Speaking of Wes and Vergil yes their powers are what you think Wes will have the powers and memories of those from the one piece world while Vergil will have the same from Shaman King with various others from other series split between the two. Like the monarch powers being apart of the devil fruits and various magics being apart of the over souls.
As for the gates and system it's going to be a mix of Solo Level, Max Level Solo Player, Lone Necromancer and others. With the monsters from them being from all over media like Nomu from MHA and Apostles from Berserk.
I'm also going to try and get 2 to 3 challenges done per chapter because there's a point I want to get to that will really get the story started.
And yeah I'll portably get a few of the chapters of this out before I work on anything else. The main reason being I'm just so sick of writing tournament fights at the moment. The Ashura and Ragnarok are full of them at the moment and I just need a break with this being the story I wanted to work on the most.
Well that all
Till next time,
Bye.
