//------------------------------// // Episode Two: Friendship is Total Drama Part 2: Eliminations of Harmony // Story: Total Drama Equestria // by JusSonic //------------------------------// "This crossover of My Little Pony and Total Drama contains scenes of extreme stunts performed by animated teens or ponies. Do not try any of what you see here at home. Seriously, you could get messed up." ----------- Chris: Last time, on Total Drama Equestria: Your favorite or least favorite contestants return to play in an unofficial season of Total Drama...whatever they want to or not. Turns out I am now co-hosting a season with the princesses of the world of Equestria along with the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony Discord. They didn't want a thing to do with it so I gassed them...getting the Royal Sisters angry at me. Unfortunately, my 'old pal' Blaineley has joined in on the fun with her former co-host Josh. After changing them into ponies via something out of Conversation Bureau and divide them into 4 teams of 10s, we send them all to Ponyville to meet with the old locals. And boy; is it crazy! Izzy found a new friend in Pinkie who somehow got into our confessionals. Noah became pals with Twilight. Mike meets Nyx, a filly who has a dark past as he did. (Coughs) Mal! (Cough) Anyway, Celestia's son got mistaken for Nermal, Courtney wants to pull some sneaks on the winners and runner-ups, and Dakota meet a monster freakier than she was especially when Ezekiel was once a freak. Celestia: (annoyed) Chris! Chris: Okay, okay! Also, there seems to be someone blowing up ponies' houses in the Everfree Forest. Eh, not important. Blaineley on the other hand, she loves ponies WAAAAAAY too much. Heather has a stuffed kitty. Awww... Luna: (booming) MCCLEAN! Chris: All right, all right! Geez! Anyway, to make this narration short, I invited my 'friends' over for fun in the Everfree Forest... In the Everfree Forest, some of the contestants wait impatiently as Sam snaps, "Hey! Can we start now?!" "In a minute," Chris calls over to Sam as he continues speaking to the camera. "We are now about to start our first challenge of the seasons. Who will win it? Who will be dead last? And what 2 unlucky players get thrown out and never come back, EVER? Find out as we prepare for...Total...Drama...EQUESTRIA!" ------------- We see an intro like in every seasons of Total Drama as well as 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'. This time, the players are doing activities in Equestria with them as ponies. The full intro song of the Total Drama series is played which ended with Celestia and Luna about to look at Twilight's letter but looks annoyed when Chris pops in and takes it, seeing the whole gang in their human forms. ------------ Episode Two: Friendship is Total Drama Part 2: Eliminations of Harmony The players sigh. About time they are able to play. Chris smiles as he came back to the co-hosts, speaking, "Okay, players, time for your first challenge. Today, we will determine which team will be staying where for the reminder of their stay. To help explain this challenge better, Celestia will tell us the story of the Elements of Harmony." Celestia nods as she clears her throat, saying, "Generations ago, my sister and I were young fillies, the daughters of the Princess Ponies which you had read about in Megan's books. Megan took care of us..." "So that makes you her adopted kids, right?" Owen asks Celestia curiously. "Correct. Now then, she taught us a few things or so which isn't important. This is. When Discord was a bad guy..." "Guilty as charged." Discord remarks, drinking a soda while lying on his back in the sky. Celestia roll her eyes as she continues, "We try to use the Rainbow of Light to beat him but he broke it. So we got it repaired, make two sets for me and my sister, and use the Elements for a new source of power, using them to defeat Discord. Sadly, sometime or so later, my own sister Luna turned evil, becoming jealous of how the ponies bathe in the sun light but chose to sleep in her wonderful night time." "Awww, poor filly," Blaineley said, wanting to go over and hug Luna but the Alicorn uses her magic to keep her back. "Yes. It turned out later that the Demon Lord Tso Lan has made an evil nightmare essence to help make me that way. Long story for that later," Luna said seriously. "I became jealous that one night, I refuse to lower the moon to make way for the sun. My sister tried to reason with me but I refuse to listen. Then I transformed into an evil being known as Nightmare Moon and try to plunge Equestria into Eternal Night." ---------------------- Gwen: A world full with nothing but nighttime? (Smirks) Good call, Luna. ---------------- "After killing innocents and starting a nasty war that separated us from our friends the Mystic Ponies for years, I sadly was forced to use the Elements of Harmony to vanish my sister to the moon where she stayed." Celestia explains in sadness. Luna pats her sister on the back in comfort. "Many years later however, Nightmare Moon came back to try to plunge the world into Eternal Night again...but this time, my student Twilight Sparkle and her friends became the new holders of the Elements of Harmony, freeing her from her darkness and bringing my sister back." "Ooooh, that's why they're important," Lindsay said with a smile. "All right, story time's over. Now it's time for our challenge, my vict...err, players! For this challenge, we are going to make our own Elements of Harmony, using this stuff." Chris said as he motions to a garbage truck driven by Chef who drove it backwards...then dump the stuff right into the clearing. "Holy smokes!" Cameron exclaims in alarm . "This is too familiar." "Glad you remember Cameron. Now then, we can't use the Elements to help out since the Mane Six has since returned them to the Tree of Harmony. But thanks to Discord's photographic memory, we got something better." Discord turns into a camera and made a picture, much to the others' confusion. The spirit change back to normal and shows pictures of the Elements, saying, "You got 20 seconds to memorize these." The players look at the picture carefully...then 20 seconds are up before Discord got rid of the pictures. "For your challenge, you are to make your own Elements out of trash which we will be using in the next challenge." Chris said. Discord made a huge hourglass appear. "You got until all the sand in this hourglass is up to get your task done...and oh yeah, some of the trash is highly dangerous." "I bet ." Courtney said nervously, seeing some explosions in the mix. "Once time's up, the Royal Sisters will be the judges. The winning false elements that match the true elements or come close to them are the ones which will be used." "The 1st winning team will be given first prize of where they will be sleep tonight. The second will be given the second prize of where they will sleep tonight. The 3rd and 4th...you get the idea." Luna said with a smile. "No more delaying! Ready, set...GET GOING!" Chris orders as Discord turns the hourglass over, starting the challenge. Everyone started to get into the trash as they tried to find different items. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B: Well, I will admit, it wasn't easy when we looked through the trash. But I do have an IQ of 200...so, it was easy to find the colors of what the items were... the question is, how do we form it... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alejandro: If we can do this challenge now and be successful, maybe Heather can forget whoever her new boyfriend is and come to my arms... (Gives huge smirk) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courtney: All we needed to do was get the shapes correctly. We'll worry about color when the time is right... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay: I love that one crown! I knew exactly what to do the minute I got the parts for it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over on the Unicorns side, Gwen and Courtney were busy working on the shapes of the crown as the Alicorns side at each side was examining the items they had, wondering how they can possibly get the attachments. "Okay, maybe if..." Cody said as he picked up one piece... "No, no, maybe we should do this..." Josh said as he picked up another piece. Meanwhile, Lindsay smiled as she gave a gleeful giggle as she had a subpar version of Twilight's crown. "Aw, that's so great!" Lindsay smiled. Blaineley was blinking as she was looking in between what she had. With the Pegasuses, as most of them were arguing, Izzy was doing something in the background with the trash she had. "No, no, that doesn't work! I KNOW what the one looked like!" Heather frowned. "And I'm telling you, THIS is the right shape!" Anne Maria frowned. "Just relax senoritas..." Alejandro smirked. "I know EXACTLY how we can settle this..." "If this is intending to get me back, forget it." Heather frowned. "I have a boyfriend back home." "Hey guys?" Izzy said as she held up a piece. "What do you think?" "Eh, fine. Whatever." All of them muttered, not even paying attention to Izzy as Izzy put in another piece. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Heather: I know EXACTLY what Alejandro is doing, and I'm not buying that! Seriously, what kind of girl does he think I am? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie: All in all, I think we figured out a good system on how we worked. Sadie and I took Rarity's element, Courtney and Gwen took Applejack's, Mike and Zoey are doing Rainbow Dash's and Pinkie's, whilst Geoff and Bridgette took Fluttershy's. Trent and Duncan were left with assembling the crown, and so far, I think we're doing good. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indeed, the Unicorns knew exactly what they were doing as they started putting up a good system. With the Alicorns, B, Dawn and Beth were focusing on working with Pinkie's element. "The question is, what can we use for a balloon?" Beth asked. "Good question... maybe a real one?" Dawn said. "Whatever works, works." B nods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brady: We're trying our best as we can, but turns out making elements are harder than expected. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Got it!" Lindsay smiled. "This is so beautiful!" Lindsay smiled as she turned to the other Earth Ponies... and immediately noticed that almost none of them were even CLOSE to what they were trying to get. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lightning: Seriously, what is up with this? (Flexes muscles) This bod is made for showing, NOT art school. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owen: Okay, I was barely paying attention, I was still thinking about those cupcakes... (Sighs) I feel so relieved, I want more of those cupcakes... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justin: I will admit, I'm NOT an artist. But I did try my best to get what I could... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia nodded as she saw the hourglass run out. "Okay, time's up. Let's see the results." Chris, Chef, Celestia, Luna and Discord got up as they walked around, looking at the Earth Ponies' elements. They examined them as Celestia said, "Well, the crown is good, but the rest are meh." "Yeah, I agree..." Chris said as Lindsay gave a smile. "...Get off me." Luna frowned as Blaineley was hugging her again. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott: ...What can I say? We're not exactly ARTISTS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The five then went over to the Unicorns' elements next. Gwen, Courtney and the others nodded as they examined the elements, which looked pretty good... but not too good. "Well, they seem to be pretty passable." Chef said. "I know, they're sure contenders," Discord smiled. "...We'll see." Celestia said. ------------------------------------------------------------- Courtney: Great, passable! Awesome! ------------------------------------------------------------ The five then went over to the Alicorns' elements. They seemed to be good... except they were WAY off. All five hosts looked at each other and said the same thing, "NAH!" ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cameron: Yeah, we kinda expected that response. Not our best work. ------------------------------------------------------------------ The five went over to the Pegasuses' area as everyone paused, most of them realizing they spent their time arguing instead of making something... except for Izzy. "And where are your elements?" Celestia asked. "Ahem." Izzy coughed as everyone turned. On her hands were...EXACT replicas of the Elements of Harmony. Everyone was speechless as Chris said, "How did she get ALL that from the garbage?" Celestia paused as she said, "Hmmm... you know, I think you're onto something." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Izzy: Okay, say it with me! Izzy is crazy awesome! Add THAT to the TVTropes page of this story, if anybody makes one! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noah: Sheesh, all this time we spent arguing, Izzy was the only one focused on the task. I have to say... that had to pay off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia nodded as Chris said, "Very well, I announce THESE elements as the winners." "What?" Courtney frowned as she dropped the element SHE worked on to the ground. "Flying Pegasuses, first place," Chris smiled, "Magical Unicorns, second place." "Not bad." Gwen nodded. "Not bad?" Courtney grumbled. "Groundin' Earth Ponies, you at least had a good crown, but the rest of the elements were off. You got third place." Chris said. "Aw... can I at least keep the crown?" Lindsay said as she picked up the crown. "Go ahead." Celestia said as Lindsay smiled in glee. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay: (now wearing the crown she made) I am LOVING this crown! I think I'm going to wear it for the remainder of this game! (Pause as she looked at the crown) What's this on my head? (Gasps) Am I a queen? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sorry Immortal Alicorns, but you have the last pick." Chris said. "We tried our best." Josh shrugged. Chris nodded as Celestia said. "Okay, you all remember that you have visited five places earlier today. Can you name them?" "Oh sure, that would be... Twilight's Library, Sugarcube Corner, Sweet Apple Acres, Rarity's Carousel Boutique... and there was Fluttershy's cottage too..." Noah paused. "Ah, so you have paid attention. Good." Celestia said. "These five places are the places you are going to be spending your nights. So, if you can kindly choose..." "We want the Library." Noah said. Alejandro frowned as he said, "Since when do you make decisions?" "Hey, he wants the library, let's do the library." Heather said. EVERYONE was in a majority as they all agreed with Heather. Alejandro frowned. "Okay, fine. We'll do the Library." Alejandro muttered. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alejandro: I can't believe this! I'm supposed to be the captain of THEIR team, yet I'm being upstaged! What gives? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Izzy: We're all gonna say it... NONE of us like Alejandro, not even Heather, surprisingly... wait, maybe not surprisingly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jo: Even though he's our captain... (frowns) I hate Alejandro's guts, and I'm pretty sure EVERYBODY here does. (smirks) This is going to be justice served sweet... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Darn it, we wanted the Library..." Gwen muttered. She paused as she said, "All right, no problem. We had the idea of the Carousel Boutique as a backup, just in case." Katie and Sadie gave excited squeals as Courtney, Bridgette and Zoey nodded. Duncan, Trent, Geoff and Mike were a little uncomfortable, but they knew they had to go with it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Duncan: Great, I'm stuck in a girly place... this is NOT my idea of fun... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bridgette: Even though it's not the place we wanted, at least we got a place where we could relax. Besides, the rules did say we can still VISIT the other places. It's just we can't SLEEP there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sweet Apple Acres," Lightning smirked. "Agreed," Scott smiled as everyone groaned, except for Blaineley, who was just jumping in excitement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaineley: Yes! I get to hug more ponies! This is exciting! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia and Luna just looked at each other in concern as they started whispering to each other. They nodded, smiling. Chris noticed the smiles. "You girls... don't happen to be planning something, do you?" Chris asked. "Of course..." Celestia said as Blaineley came out of the confessional. As the Alicorns talked, B and Dawn turned to the hosts as B said, "Is it all right if we do Fluttershy's cottage? We need to get DJ back to more animal loving." Celestia nodded. "That's fine." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DJ: Well, that feels good, knowing that I can be around the animals again... (Pause) Providing what happens... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Okay, before we order you to go to your new homes..." Celestia said. "We have a small announcement." Luna said. "Blaineley, can we see you?" Blaineley blinked in confusion as she came over, "Uh, sure." Everyone paused in confusion as Blaineley stepped up. Celestia coughed as she said, "Blaineley, we have looked over the past seasons again, AND we have seen a lot from you coming from this season..." "Yes?" Blaineley asked. "And we all agreed..." Celestia said as she zipped Chris's mouth shut, Chris wondering what the heck is going on, "...that you're too GOOD for this game." "Well..." Blaineley blushed. "That's why... we have decided to make you a co-host instead!" Celestia said. Blaineley gasped as she said, "Really? You mean it?" Chris's eyes boggled as Chef was shaking his head in confusion. All the hosts gasped as Discord's pencil that he was holding to write notes dropped. Celestia and Luna nodded. "Oh, definitely for sure," Luna said. "But it requires that you have to be a human, and you're a pony in the game... so, it's a shame..." "I want the job!" Blaineley said. "What?" Scott said. Celestia smiled as she said, "You really want it? Very well..." Celestia and Luna's magic then swirled on Blaineley... as she changed back to her human form. Blaineley smiled as she glomped Celestia. "Thank you, thank you! You have no idea how much I wanted this!" "Oh, no problem," Celestia said as Luna summoned a portal. "But we need you to do a few jobs as our co-host." "Sure, I'll do anything." Blaineley said as Chris's eyebrow rose, suddenly realizing what Celestia and Luna's plans were. "What should I do?" "Well..." Celestia paused. "Uh..." Chef got an idea as he gasped. "My military badges! The ones in... Germany! I left them in my summer home!" Celestia nodded as she turned to Blaineley. "Chef's badges, Blaineley, Chef's badges. He left them at home, and he doesn't know WHERE in Germany his summer home is..." "Oh, that's terrible!" Blaineley gasped. "That's why we're opening this portal back to home." Luna said. "We need you to go FIND those military badges in Germany... so... get in there!" "Right," Blaineley said. "I'll be back before you know it!" Blaineley then started running towards the portal as she called, "You are awesome, Celestia!" "And don't come back until you find the badges!" Celestia said. As soon as Blaineley was out of sight, Celestia then motioned to Luna to close the portal right up. As Luna did so, Chris's mouth opened up again as Chris smirked. "Good show, Celestia, good show." "I didn't do it to be mean." Celestia sighed. "I only did it because Blaineley would have revealed our secret. I didn't want to risk that." "Wow..." Gwen said. "You said this was non-elimination." "It is." Celestia sighed, "Just...not the elimination of THAT type. As such, Blaineley is the first person to go. Tomorrow, another will follow shortly. Who that will be, we won't tell. You all get going to your new homes, for tomorrow, we will have our next challenge." "Good night!" Chris said as everyone started to leave. "Wait!" Scott frowned. "Blaineley was on my team! We're down to nine now!" "Yes, how are you going to work that?" Lindsay asked. "And how are we going to explain that Blaineley just disappeared?" "Tell them that I offered her a job as a TV host." Chris said. "That should keep them quiet." "Other teams be sitting someone out when you get the letter. Until then, wait until tomorrow. Good night." Celestia said as they all walked off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwen: Well, what an unexpected twist. Honestly never thought Celestia and Luna would trick Blaineley like that... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia: I just didn't want to take a risk; but it'll be worth it... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkamena was watching the info on her little TV. She said, "Hmm, Blaineley wants to hug everypony; well, odds are, if that pony had stayed around, she might not want to hug me because I am not known, but I'd rather not be hugged by her. If she does, well, she will not feel her arms for a while." The others look a little nervous but nodded. Pinkamena adds, "I know where these new ponies came from. Make sure they do not think on placing cameras at the hidden part of Pinkie's basement along with this room." They nod. "Good." --------------------------------- Twilight was checking through some books. When she heard a knock at the door, the mare called out, "Can somepony get that?" "I'll get it, mom." Nyx said as she headed to the door. The filly opens the door and outside is the Flying Pegasus. Ben arrives with Spike and Phobos, the stallion ask, "Oh, hey, how did it go?" "Fine; BTW, the princesses has personally assigned us Pegasi to live here during our stay in your town." Alejandro explains, giving a note to Twilight which explains Celestia and Luna's orders, minus the secret details. "So where are the rest of the ponies?" Phobos asks curiously. "They are going to living elsewhere." Anne Maria remarks bored. "Well, in that case, come on in." Nyx said with a friendly smile while gesturing her hoof behind her, signaling them to enter the library. "Just to set up some ground rules," Ben said sternly as the Pegasus teams enter. "If you're going to be staying in here, then you better obey them or else." ---------------------- Leshawna: Heh, I betcha Al or Heather will break the "or else" part. Those two are leaving. ----------------------------- "Rule one: respect our things and the books." Twilight said with a nod. "This is library. Not a playground." "Rule two, for your stallions, Twilight is mine. Hooves off," Ben snaps, giving a glare to Alejandro who looks nervous. "Rule three, if you need any snacks ask before you raid the fridge." "More major rules: Don't you do anything terrible to my daughter." Twilight said darkly as Nyx smiles. "Don't hurt her, don't throw her in the river, don't call her 'Nightmare Moon' or 'Mary Sue', don't even threaten to kill her, and especially...don't do anything that will give me reasons to harm you." "What? Her; Come on, she looks like a Scrap..." Jo yelps as Twilight uses her magic to slam her into a wall. "I am keeping an eye on you, Jo." Twilight said to Jo angrily. "Better do as mommy says, Miss Meanie." Nyx taunted Jo with a smirk. --------------- Jo: Ugh, what's with Mommy Alicorn?! She's acts as if doing stuff to her daughter would set off a Berserk Button or something. At least here is much better than living in 'Snobville', which Heather calls it. ---------------- Dakota: Dang! Nice call! --------------- "Question: what's with the 'Nightmare Moon' or 'Mary-Sue' stuff?" Tyler asks puzzled. "Just curious." "Because I could've sworn that Luna was once Nightmare Moon," Leshawna said, puzzled herself. "Long stories; we rather not to talk about it right now," Ben said then smiles. "Anyway, finally, treat us with respect and you will have a fine stay." "Like in a sleepover that almost never ends," Twilight squeals, clapping her hooves in delight. "Oooh, this is going to be so much fun!" "A sleepover; what is this? Grade 5," Heather asks in disgust. "Spike, get some snacks for our new guests!" Twilight exclaims happily. "Right, Twilight!" Spike exclaims as he goes into the kitchen. "I will get some sleeping bags and arrangements." Nyx said as she heads upstairs to get some sleeping bags for some of the Pegasi. "Hey, nice box," Sam exclaims, picking up a familiar box, "And with 6 keyholes!" "Careful with that," Twilight exclaims, taking the box from Sam with her magic. "We found it after saving the Tree of Harmony. We are looking for the 6 keys which could unlock it." "Oooh, like in a video game where you gotta find 6 objects to unlock a secret," Sam exclaims excitedly upon hearing this. "Sorta like that." Nyx said. -------------- Sam: Oh yeah! Noah choosing this place is an awesome idea! Yeah, I betcha my video game abilities could help me find those keys; Like in 'Legend of Zelda', where you must find seven triangle pieces to fight the final boss. --------------------- Heather: Can't believe Twilight suggested a sleepover. Then again, staying here is better off staying at Snobville's home. --------------------- "Oh my goodness," Rarity squeals as the Magical Unicorns gave her the note from the princess. "You are staying? Oh yes. I don't mind some guests. Oh, you all deserve some extra outfits." "Well, go ahead. It's to be polite." Zoey giggles a bit. "Ugh, not me; I am not getting fancy." Duncan snaps stubbornly, crossing his upper fore-arms. "I think someone needs a makeover!" Katie and Sadie squeals as they grab Duncan, pulling him over. "Ugh, no, keep your horns away!" Duncan exclaims angrily, struggling to no prevail. "I think a makeover will do your attitude wonders, darling." Rarity said happily, grabbing some fabric along the way. Mike looks around, seeing a spool with rainbow like thread. He nods and smiles; Looks promising. "Whoa. Check this out!" Geoff exclaims with a smirk as he holds up a picture which show Rarity and her friends in the gala dresses. "Looks like prom dresses." "Actually that's more like Gala." Bridgette said, observing the picture carefully. She turns to Rarity who is busy making something for Duncan, "Very cute. Rarity, did you make these dresses in this pic yourself?" "Absolutely, darling," Rarity replied proudly, "I make the most fabulous fashions in all of Ponyville." "Cute; you think you can make some for all of us?" Courtney asks Rarity hopefully. "Of course, after I'm done with Duncan." Rarity giggles as she got to work. ---------------------------- Trent: I got to admit. I was skeptic when we have to be staying here. (Smirks devilishly) That is until I saw what the girls did to Duncan. Ha ha ha! ---------------------------- Sure enough, a while later, Duncan looks ticked as he finds himself in a nice suit, his hair is in a nice matter, his piercings from his ears are gone and he got makeup on his face. "Awww, you look so cute." Gwen mocks Duncan laughing. "Got to admit: you make a cuter pony than an ugly punk colt," Courtney remarks with a smirk. That will teach Duncan a lesson. "When all this is over, win or lose, I'll tear you two apart!" Duncan snarled threateningly at Gwen and Courtney. ----------------- Duncan: (groans) Ugh! Why wasn't I roasted in the sun? Why, oh why? I got a feeling that Chris set me up for blowing up his cottage back in All-Stars! --------------------- Chris: Ha ha! Classic; as for the rumor for setting Duncan up; maybe that will teach him not to blow up anything of mine! ------------------------- On Sweet Apple Acres, AJ was helping Apple Bloom in planting when the Groundin' Earth Ponies arrives. "Howdy, y'all; what brings yew back so soon?" Applejack asks the team with a grin. "Your princess assigned us Earth ponies here." Scott remarks with a smile, giving a paper to AJ which she reads. "We're staying here for a while!" "Only Earth ponies? Wait. Hang on; Yew mean..." Applejack said, paling as she realizes that Staci is one of the Earth ponies. "Yes! My great..." Staci was going to say but Ezekiel cut her off. "Don't jinx it, eh." Ezekiel said to Staci in concern. "Say, where's 'dat crazy Blaineley mare; She isn't still around, is she?" Apple Bloom ask, frightened that Blaineley is staying as well. "Oh, Chris gave her a new job so she won't be staying around." Brick explains to Apple Bloom sternly. "Thank Celestia!" Apple Bloom squeals a bit in delight. Blaineley is gone! It's a miracle! "Okay, 'dis clears out. Yew gotta be staying, yew gotta do some work like all o' us." Applejack said with a nod to the new guests. ---------------------------- Owen: Oh, I hope these ponies make apple pies. I love that stuff! This is the best place ever! --------------------------- Scott: Heh heh. All I got to do is play my cards right and I will make it to the merger. This time, no more mistakes. ------------------------ "Granny; we got some guests who are staying!" Applejack calls out to Granny Smith who is sleeping in a rocker up front, "Granny!" "Huh, what? I'm coming, I'm coming." Granny mumbles as she got up, heading to the Earth ponies. "Just so you young'uns know, we run a tight ship around here. So you gotta to do some work." "Yes, madam," Brick exclaims, giving a salute. "I will make sure this place is run like a military course!" "Oh good grief," Eva remarked, rolling her eyes. "No back talk, soldier!" Brick barks to Eva, making her annoyed. "So a soldier type, eh?" Granny asks with a grin. She then grabs a helmet from out of nowhere, giving it to Brick. "Okay, until you leave, you're my special helper in keeping the recruits in line!" "Thank you, ma'm!" Brick exclaimed. "Ha! Lightning ain't no..." Lightning was interrupted as he was slapped on the head by a stick that Brick is holding with his teeth. "Ouch!" "20 laps, soldier, move." Brick growls, forcing Lightning to start moving. "That goes for the rest of you!" "Hey, I'm the capt..." Scott yelps as Brick almost hits him with the stick. The shark-fearing pony ran off, "I'm going, I'm going!" The Groundin' Earth Ponies run some laps as Brick was shouting out orders. Granny laughs a bit, "That Brick young'un is going to make a fine soldier." "Providing he doesn't kill 'em soldiers first." Applejack remarks with a chuckle. ---------------------- Justin: (upset) can't believe it. I am now in a military farm camp; Great. We should've picked the other places. At least they won't make this handsome pony go through torture! ------------------ Fluttershy was in the middle of a feeding session. She wants to make sure that every one of her animals gets fed. Just then a knock came at the door. "Coming," Fluttershy said as she goes over to the door and opens it. Outside is the Immortal Alicorns waiting, "Oh, hello my friends. Did your trip to the Everfree Forest gone well?" "Yeah, yeah," Harold said with a nod as B gives a note to Fluttershy. "We just got our sleeping assignments. We're staying here for a while." "Oh! Really; Oh I know you will like it here. Oh, this place will make you feel right at home." Fluttershy said in delight. "I enjoy having sleepovers...except the CMC ones but that's because the first one almost ended in disaster." "Hey there, little guy, miss me?" DJ asks with a smile as he goes over to Angel and hold out a hoof. The bunny blinks and allows him to pet him. "There!" "My, Angel usually has trouble letting visitors pet him. He must take a liking to you." "Well, I had a bunny at home that I got from that cursed camp island place. He was my best friend since." "'Had'?" Sierra asks DJ in disbelief. "Let me guess, your curse thing made you give him up, right?" "No way. I just have momma separate him from me so I won't kill him by accident!" DJ assures Sierra with a nod. "But now that my curse is over, I can handle Bunny again! It's a dream come true. ------------ Sierra: I have seen every episode of Total Drama Island! Should I tell him that his original bunny got killed because Geoff accidentally let it get eaten by a snake which got grabbed by an eagle and was eaten by a shark? (Pause) And waste a good storyline?! What do you take me for; A nut?! -------------- "You can help me take care of the animals if you want." Fluttershy said kindly. "I don't mind the help." "Awww, look, Cody! Two chipmunks," Sierra exclaims as she picks up two chipmunks. "I will call them Cody Three and Cody Four!" "Seriously, Sierra," Cody asks Sierra in disbelief, "Seriously?" "Uh, those aren't their names." Fluttershy begins to say in worry. "And be careful, they don't like to be held..." Too late, the chipmunk growls and attacks Sierra, causing her to scream and run around, "No, no, bad Codys; bad Codys! Get off of mommy!" "Oh dear. Come on, I will help." Dawn said as she and Fluttershy rush to help Sierra, "But maybe a bit slowly. I'm sensing of negative vibes towards Sierra right now." "Oh yeah, come on, bit her down, babies!" Josh laughs eagerly, making some of the team players shake their head at this. -------------- Dawn: Chipmunks are gentle but can be a bit crazy when being held. You got to treat them with kindness. Sierra probably needs the answer to the word 'personal space'. --------------- "Get off, mommy, off, you bad kids!" Sierra scowls, trying to slam one chipmunk against a wall. "No, please, stop hurting Mr. Chip!" Fluttershy pleads, trying to save the chipmunks from being harmed by Sierra. Dawn sighs then uses her magic to knock Sierra and the chipmunks out. "Oh, thank you." "No problem. I am a lover of nature and every animal." Dawn said as she helps pull the unconscious chipmunks off of Sierra. "But it's best to keep Sierra unconscious for a while." "Thank you!" Cody and Cameron exclaim at once, relieved to hear that. "Brrr, is she always this crazy?" Fluttershy ask, flying over to put the chipmunks into their home made nearby. "You got no idea." Cameron said with a shiver. "She called me 'Cody Two' and even went nutso back where on that island." "What is this 'island' place you and DJ spoke of?" "Oh, just a crazy place that has sunken into the ocean. You wouldn't want to go there!" Beth exclaims to Fluttershy in concern, the memories of the camp is still in her memories. "Trust me, that place would scar you for life." "I will take your word for it." Fluttershy said in concern. ---------- Pinkie: (frowns) Okay, I feel a bit offended. They choose Twilight's, Rarity's, Applejack's and Fluttershy's homes but not Sugarcube Corner or Rainbow Dash's place? What, am I not good enough for them? ------------------ "We gotta keep that mare out of there." Chef grumbles as he watches the confessional on a TV back in the palace. The big man watches Chris working on something, "Whatcha making there, Chris?" "Oh, just a little robot. That way, if we decided to do challenges out of the Everfree Forest, this will be 'Chris' and I will control it from afar." Chris said with a pleased look. "Reminds ya of the Total Drama Machine, huh?" "Eh. The machine was better built." ---------------- Celestia and Luna meanwhile are looking at the parafried Carol on a hospital bed. A doctor who was checking spoke, "I must confess, princess, I haven't seen anything like this. She looks dead but isn't. How could this have happened?" "It involves a certain...individual from years ago. I thought he was gone forever." Celestia said seriously. "Who is this individual, my sister?" Luna asks Celestia in concern, noticing the pale look on the Alicorn's face. "Is it someone I should know about?" "We can only hope and pray that whoever did this doesn't find out the truth of the new ponies....or finds what he's looking for." ------------------------ Pinkamena somehow knew what's going on as well. She sat in her room, mumbling, "Hmm all that is happening might bring danger to our world and the enemies might plan something while this is happening so be on alert everypony." All nod as she says, "Please be careful Goldie, hope you are on alert." Ssomewhere as Golden Heart heads to meet with the princesses, he heard her sister's worries and says in his mind, 'No worries, sister, I will never let my guard down so easy.’ He heads off. ----------------------------- "Ugh, I feel like my back will break." Scott groans as he and his team along with Applejack goes into Sugarcube Corner. "But it will be worth it." "Right; worth it; Who cares?" Eva grunts as he goes up to the counter, "Hey; what to eat in this dump?!" "No worries. You are already ordered for." Mrs. Cake said to Eva with a smile as she motions to the other teams and the Mane Six, sitting in separate tables, "And paid for as well." "Better not be the trash that Chef used to served!" ------------ Chef: (annoyed) No respect, no respect at all! At least Owen treats my food with respect! Hmph! What does this look like; A 5 star restaurant?! --------------- "Hey, everypony," Pinkie exclaims as she serves her friends and the teams, especially the Groundin' Earth ponies who sat at their table. "You enjoy your new homes?" "Don't ask!" Duncan scowls as he took the last ribbon out of his mane. "Ugh! I feel like hitting someone!" "Yo, this cupcake is off the hook, eh!" Ezekiel exclaims, biting into his cupcake. "What's in it?" "Pony parts," Pinkie exclaims. The others look disgusted and spit out their cupcakes in disgust, "Just kidding! Just the usual ingredients! I ain't a pony killer!" "Fine; Good joke...not!" Noah scowls angrily, cleaning himself with a napkin. "Where's that crazy Blaineley lady?" Rainbow asks with a frown as he looks around. "I wanna beat her up for scaring Scootaloo." "Scott an' his pals told me 'dat she has 'ta leave fer a job or something." Applejack explains to Rainbow with a shrug. "Be glad she's gone." "Good!" "Hey Gwen! Wanna sit near me?" Trent asks with a smile. Gwen hesitates as she looks to Courtney who smiles, nodding to her. "Go ahead! I know we say that we shouldn't let boys come between us but that's boys that I like." Courtney points out to Gwen. The Goth unicorn smiles as she goes over to sit near Trent who smiles at her. "Soooo...Mike. Nyx told me you had a certain...'problem' in the past?" Twilight ask Mike in concern. Mike uneasily explains while glancing to some of the glaring campers from Seasons 4 and 5, "Well, I used to have MPD." "MPD," Fluttershy ask puzzled. "Multiple Personality Disorder," Cameron explains to Fluttershy clearly. "Sometimes he goes into different personalities depending on what happens. For example, when he gets frustrated, Mike becomes an old grumpy stallion named Chester. Whenever Mike is in a physically challenged setting, her name is used or the word 'Olympian' is mentioned, he becomes female gymnast Svetlana." "A stallion becoming a mare," Applejack remarks with a chuckle. "How odd is 'dat?" "When Mike takes his shirt off, he becomes tough and aggressive pony Vito." "Ah, Vito. Good times, good times." Anne Maria said with a happy sigh, ignoring the death glare given to her by Zoey. "And then there's adventurer Manitoba Smith whenever Mike puts a fedora on." Cameron explains the fourth personality. "He is used in adventurers but got a bit of an attitude towards mares." "Don't ask." Zoey said to the Mane Six in concern. "But Mike was eventually able to control his personalities then one day, he was cured." "How did you pull that off?" Ben asks Mike curiously. "Oh, Mike got one more personality: a dark one named Mal who once got imprisoned in juvenile hall. He was a dangerous inmate there." Duncan said to the Mane Six with a frown. "I know because I was once there myself." "I thought I got rid of him after juvenile hall but during...an incident, I got hit in the head with a shovel and he came back! Mal imprisoned my other personalities and came out at times to cause trouble, breaking some of the ponies' stuff." Mike said, shaking a bit. "I tried to get rid of Mal by hitting myself with a boulder but that causes him to take over full time and imprisoning me." "Mike told us how he broke free of his chains though Mal uses his body to causes eliminations like Cameron's and Al's." Zoey remarks, with Alejandro frowning at the last part. "Don't ask what I mean by that. Eventually, Mike was able to free his other personalities and manages to...'push a button'?" "Don't ask. I have to get rid of my personalities to stop Mal but at least they are with me in some way. Anyway, long story short..." "Too late," Heather remarks in annoyed tone of voice. "My MPD is gone, I haven't gone nutso since." Mike said with a smile. "Of course, some of the other ponies involved in that mess are weary of me." "Wow, your story makes Nyx's story of redemption pale in comparison." Twilight said with a smile. She looks around, puzzled. "Say, where is she anyway? I thought Ben and I came in here with her." "In here, mommy," Nyx's voice is heard in a trash can that Jo is sitting on, making both parents glare at her. "Jo, what did you do to Nyx?" Ben asks Jo suspiciously. Jo chuckles nervously then got up, opening the trash can to reveal Nyx coming out, coughing. The so-called Pegasi exclaims in surprise, "Whoa! How did she get in there? She must've fallen in and I didn't know it." "Liar! She stuffed me in there!" Nyx exclaims with a scowl, making some of the ponies glare at Jo. "Come on! Are you going to believe me or that Mary Sue?" Twilight growls angrily as her horn glows. Ben gave an angry look. Pinkie said happily. "Uh oh, better run from the Angry Bear Parents!" Jo screams, running off with Twilight and Ben blasting at her. Mike helps Nyx out as she snaps, "That will teach her!" ------------------------------------- Tyler: That Twilight chick warned her. Now Jo's gotta pay. ------------------------------- Lindsay: (holding her crown) I got a pretty crown! What do you think? -------------------- Unknown to everyone, Chase the Warrior AKA Shadow Dragon was watching from nearby. He notices the others watching, causing him to leave Sugarcube Corner. Lightning remarks, "Hey, who's the weird pony?" "That's Chase the Warrior, a retired fighter." Rainbow explains to Lightning with a nod. "He was teaching Ben some tricks to help him use his weapons better. Of course, my cousin Brave Heart and Ben's pal Flash Sentry is wary of him." "I wonder why." Lindsay said a bit puzzled. Chase, upon going outside, heads into an alley, making a portal appears with Dark Curse appearing in it. His master asks, "Well?" "Looks like the Apocalypse Ponies were right. Those new ponies may be humans transformed. Though the reason why escapes me." Chase/Shadow Dragon said to Dark Curse seriously. "Shall we do something?" "Not at the moment, Shadow Dragon. We got word of a new...threat happening. We will let that handle our enemies before we decide what to do. You are to observe and report anything, especially that new individual causing trouble, to me. Do you understand?" "Yes, master." Chase ends communications, closing the portal. Looks like his observation of Ben to see if he could somehow win his trust will have to be delayed...for now. -------------- At the moment, most of the Total Drama gang was with the Mane Six group in the library. The new ponies were trying to look for any new books that could be interesting to them. For some that had cooking, others about beauty treatments, a spell that would lead unicorns and alicorns find gems which were mostly the girls' thing, and other stuff. But Noah came across one object he held in his possession from finding. “Excuse me, but what's this?” Noah showed a strange violet/gray mix cover book with a center gem piece on the front and back that was labeled 'Enemy Guide'. “Oh, that’s something Sir Spell Nexus made for us to hold onto.” Twilight spoke off in explaining the matter of what the book Noah held was. “It holds data of some of the baddies and villains we’ve run into.” Rainbow Dash pointed out. “So it’s like a recording of your battles. As one wanting to be a soldier, it’s important to keep a memoir of your past battles to always remember.” Brick smiled in making a statement over such a thing to have. “Well, maybe this charm book might have some interesting stories, let’s open it.” Duncan smiled in thinking that this thing might be interesting, considering that maybe it put a little excitement in the day. “Careful, it has some magic properties to display and reads out things.” Applejack pointed out that the group should be careful. “Yeah, and those were a surprise feature.” Pinkie Pie pops around to issue off in reminding the new ponies of this. Soon Noah opens the book, and it glowed with bright flashes of light. “Woah, freaky light show,” Tyler replied off in being surprised in seeing this little show of light. “Enemy log, which entry would you want to observe?” The book spoke with a deep male voice in speaking towards the one who was using it. “Hahahaha, cool; it speaks!” Owen laughs off in surprise joy, the book spoke like some functional male wanting them to tell it what they wanna know. “Oh-oh, how about the first enemy you guys ever fought?” Katie raised her hoof in wanting to know who the Mane Six first came across. “That’s exactly what I was thinking Katie! We’re like, so connected.” Sadie gasped to her friend to see that was the same thing she thought, as she & Katie hug the other. “Acknowledged,” The book responded in hearing the command before performing the duty, “First foe….Nightmare Moon.” It issued off in what was the first enemy the ponies fought. Then the image of what is seen as Luna changing into Nightmare Moon, her acts of jealousy and such to be banished to the moon. “Long ago, a terrible event caused Princess Luna’s jealously to turn her into Nightmare Moon to plunge the world into darkness. She was banished to the moon by princess Celestia by the works of the Elements of Harmony. After a thousand years, she returned, only to be defeated by the new Element Users of Harmony and return her to Princess Luna of her non-evil self.” As the narrative voice of the book told of what happened with this enemy before the scene shows the defeat of Nightmare Moon turn back into Luna. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Duncan: Gotta say, never saw a pony go all rogue like that from being jealous. But I suppose when you get angry, you feel the need to express your feelings. And hey, if she was not wanting to be all evil, but be bad. I could respect a princess like that. (Pause) But don’t tell anyone I said that, or even Courtney, or Gwen…or Luna. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwen: Gotta say, Luna’s dark look, despite being scary, she did look kinda cool. If she was with us in our world, she definitely finds some good goth friends that like her kinda style and magic work of loving the night away. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Wow, I can’t believe Luna behave in such a way.” Lindsey spoke off in being surprised in what they saw Luna act like. “We actually learned that the one that turn Luna to evil was from another foe, so she couldn’t resist another presence... it even scares me to think of it.” Fluttershy explained what had happened before shuddering at the very idea. “But she’s back to normal, so there’s no more Nightmare Moon, right?” Beth stated in knowing that the Luna they meant is good, not evil right? “Um, yeah…let’s go with that...” Nyx slowly spoke in feeling that all was well about the subject. “I kinda feel sorry for Luna, it’s not easy when another side of you, an EVIL one, takes control and makes you do things without having control.” Mike responded in feeling that the event was not all Luna’s fault, she was played…just like him and Mal. “And you know this how?” Phobos asked off with a raised eyebrow. “He just does, trust us.” Zoey spoke on Mike’s defense than to talk about Mal to the others. They may already tell the Mane Six but no one else needs to know about it right now “So book, tell Lightning who was the next bad dude after this.” Lightning asked the strange book about an enemy guide in who was next on the list. “Acknowledged,” The book responded in hearing the command before performing the duty, “Next opponent….Discord, the Spirit of Chaos & Disharmony.” It issued off in what was the second enemy the ponies fought. Now the book displayed a magic image of Discord, when he was evil. And boy did it show a lot of stuff of what Discord pulled out from under the rub, even literally pulled stuff from under a rug even. “Before Luna became Nightmare Moon, Discord was spreading chaos across Equestria. The Royal Sisters could not stop him, so they gain the elements to turn him to stone. After a long thousand years, he was free from a chaotic disturbance, and would have continued if not for the Mane Six’s actions in restoring their friendship to turn him to stone again. Discord became free during another villain’s invasion plot before becoming stone again. And on his third chance at freedom, the task to reform Discord fell upon Fluttershy, who succeeded in giving Discord something he never had and could not lose….a friend. Currency, he’s now a former villain, but most times, he’ll still play pranks, but he’s on better terms for time being.” The narrative voice explained the misfit acts that Discord performed and done before the scene shows Fluttershy doing something that no one ever believed could be done, being friends with something that never had a friend and didn’t wanna lose it. Everyone was pretty much very observant of the acts Discord did as a baddy, course now he’s good…most of the time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott: Gotta say, Discord being a sneaky, trouble making spirit that makes things willy-nilly is a little overdoing it on the evil side. But hey, sounds like he make things a bit more interesting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cody: We already know about Discord being a former bad guy, now if only the same could be said for Chris. But I suppose it be a chaotic day if Chris became a more nicer host... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Oh book, tell us who’s next!” Sierra spoke off in wanting to hear another answer to a question they are thinking. “Acknowledge.” The book responded in hearing the command before performing the duty, “Third foe….Queen Chrysalis of the Changlings.” It issued off in what was the third enemy the ponies fought, and with an army to. Now a new scene shows what looked like an Alicorn, but more of an insect, and she was seen with others like her. The mere sight of her appearance almost freaked out the girls in the room and made the guys almost flinch at such a freaky appearance. “The evil queen and her minions can change into any pony, Chrysalis formed a plot to pretend to be Princess Candace to observe the love from Shining Armor enough to overpower Celestia and have her Changelings takes the love from all ponies to feed their hunger. Fortunately, she was stopped from taking control when those she used achieve victory from the princess’ love to charge her husband’s magic to repel the enemy away from Canterlot.” The book narrated in what the scenes shown had happened from when the Changelings tried to conquer Canterlot during a wedding before they were blasted away. Now a lot of the new ponies were very much taking in the information, especially since these Changelings…could appear as anyone. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bridgette: Seeing those things, and learning they could change to be anyone….it’s got me freaked out. ------------------------------------------------------------- Geoff: Man, I knew love was a powerful thing, but for bad guys to steal it to feed their hunger, that’s just so wrong bro. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leshawna: Boy, seeing that reminds me of how Heather was messing around with Gwen & Trent’s relationship in Season 1. That queen & Heather could almost be sisters, and that’s scary to think! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Owen: (looking around in suspicion) Oh man, now we have to watch out for Changlings around here? And they feed on those that have strong love? I thought Izzy was a Changeling who says she take me back….but it may have been a clever rouse to have them take my love! So I had to find out the truth! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The scene then changes back to where Owen is feeling worried about if the Izzy that said she was in love with him…is the real deal and not a Changeling in disguise? “Oh my gosh! What if there are Changelings around here?” Owen yelped out to say from feeling the tension was getting to him. “Izzy, if you were a Changeling, would you tell me?” He held Izzy’s arms to ask in wondering the very question. “Of course I tell you if I was a Changeling.” Izzy happily responded out to say which left a lot of puzzled faces. “Or am I?” She then made a weird face in making the discussion even more confusing. “Oh, it's so confessing!” Owen held his head in feeling like this was killing him from not knowing. “Quick, do something only the true Izzy does that no mere copycat could do! Something crazy, something insane, something to….” Owen was too busy in asking that the Izzy here do something to prove she is no Changeling, but what could she do, what? WHAT? Then Izzy grabs Owen, using amazing strength to spin him around before landing a big, wet, kiss on his lips that made his eyes go wide. Everyone else saw that very bold action before Izzy removed her lips and there they saw a very goofy looking Owen in question. “Aw, it’s you alright!” Owen sighs happily with a lovey-dobey expression of a boy that was too busy feeling the emotional kiss he felt. “What’s with them?” Spike asked off puzzled in seeing such a weird action of figuring out if anyone was real or not. “Eh, young love.” Phobos shrugs off his shoulders in simply issuing the fact as so. “Well that shut him up.” Jo rolled her eyes in seeing the act caused Owen to stop his nonsense act. “So what other big time baddies we have left?” Jo asked off hasty in wanting some more answers to be done now. “Acknowledge.” The book responded in hearing the command before performing the duty.,“Fourth foe….Boris.” It issued off in what was the fourth enemy the ponies fought. Soon the group saw a magical image of what was a normal, but handsome looking unicorn stallion whose held a rifle in his hooves. Some of the new ponies seem to awe at this while the Mane Six gang new better. “Hm; for a foe, I was not expecting a good-looking stallion to appear.” Justin rubs his chin in thinking this foe did not seem like such a big deal? “Wait for it…” Rainbow Dash stated that there was gonna be another scene to be seen in what’s to happen next here. Then an unexpected scene shows where the foe was submerged in a red ball of fire that soon made him come out…looking like a devil. Now all the new ponies gasped in seeing this action happen. “Aaaahhhhh; what happened to that stallion, it ruined his handsome look! What kinda dark magic is this?” Justin yelped to cry out in seeing the horror of what happened to a beautiful creature. “Boris the Red Devil, formerly known as the Hero of Canterlot; He and his minions Boxco & Dum-Dum were the big stallions in Canterlot with Boris being a huntsman with his rifle gun. He was trying to kill the arrival of a Demon Pony that spirited away a colt name Ben Mare while trying to win Twilight to be his with little success . But events played out differently before the Demon Pony was shown to be an innocent creature that was cursed and did not wish harm, but Boris wanted the beast killed. Under extreme measures, Boris performed a Forbidden Spell, Talent Swap, that swiped the wings & horns of horns to another, all to himself before performing the Devil’s Red Sun that stole all of them to leave all as Earth Ponies. The action forever changed Boris into the Red Devil of today, and was close to defeating the Mane Six after stealing their special talents of magic and flying. Twilight was almost going to become the Devil’s next target until the Demon Pony fought hard even with the enemy that shot him in the back to kill the Demon, but not without a final attempt to stopping Boris. The act of destroying the Devil’s red Sun soon sent Boris into the Void where he was supposedly trapped while his two minions were banished from Canterlot.” The book narrated the scenes that showed Boris & his stooges doing their actions of evil, even when Boris became a Red Devil to steal all the wings & horns before the Devil’s Red Sun was destroyed, and he was sealed within the Void. Those that saw this were left in almost immediate shock in never expecting such a foe of a villain to appear. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Trent: Wow, and I thought it was hard trying to get a girl to like me! This Boris guy sounded like he wouldn’t take no for an answer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DJ: To think somebody would harm others to remain on top, dude, that was NOT cool. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justin: If I had to choose between being a very handsome person or becoming a very powerful being at the cost of losing my good looks, I think we can all agree that being evil, doesn’t mean you give up EVERYTHING, especially, when looks are important. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “So….what ever happened to the Demon Pony?” B asked off a question that they never got after the enemy was beaten. “He’s right here, I was once the Demon Pony, but thanks to Twilight’s love, she saved my life.” Ben spoke with a smile in stating in who he used to be, as he rested his chin to Twilight. “Wait! YOU were the Demon Pony?” Cody yelped out to say in having a hard time believing it. “OMG, but we thought it said you died!” Sierra gasped out in finding this to be the most shocking thing to see. “Yes, but from Ben’s gift, the Necklace of Eternal, it provided a miracle that saved him.” Rarity explained with a smile in how the event played out for them. “A necklace that does miracles you say? Maybe some of us could use a miracle.” Alejandro smiled to rub his chin in feeling this was an answer to his problem with…another. “Yeah right, like you need that!" Heather frowned. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: I still can't believe he would STILL be on this! UGH! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Now who’s next in that book?” Heather snapped off to roll her eyes in hearing what this guy wanted to do. “Aaahhh…but can’t we hear more? It’s like a fairy tale of Beauty & the Beast, and how in the end, the beast became a handsome prince.” Lindsey sighs with happiness in seeing how Ben & Twilight’s story was so romantic. “Well I like where this girl is getting off to.” Rarity stated in liking how Lindsey felt about her friends’ passion for the other. “So, who comes after Boris?” Noah asked the book he held in wondering, what enemy came after this. “Acknowledge.” The book responded in hearing the command before performing the duty, “Fifth foe….Lorcan.” It issued off in what was the fifth enemy the ponies fought. Now the book displayed a magical image of a cloaked figure, before he removed his cloak to reveal…a dragon. But this one almost looked like Spike, and without his cloak, he reverted into a teenage dragon. And then from another moment, he changed into some kinda Battle Mode Form that gave him tremendous power. “Known as the Scarred Ruler, Lorcan was scheming to form the Brotherhood of Tadaka to kill all the ponies in Equestria. Members include….” As the book narrated, it showed the other members that had join Lorcan’s little gang, “The Diamond Dogs Trio Leaders with their army,” The image of three dogs and more of their types seen underground. “Flim-Flam Brothers with their works in making the Machines of War.” The image of two salesman ponies with powerful looking machines appeared. “Trixie Lulamoon, a show pony wanting to outdo Twilight,” Another image of Trixie of who she was before being good, “And freeing Brois from the Void with Boxco & Dum-Dum,” The image shows Boris the Red Devil’s return and his stooges joining up with the enemy, “And including Discord before he was reform.” The book showed Discord when he was still evil before being reform to be straight. “Wait, so…these were all bad guys join together to form….a super villain team-up?” Tyler asked off in seeing this, but finding it very hard to believe it. “Trust us, they were bad, but they were ‘de opening act.” Applejack stated that what the gang saw was only the first of the beginning. “After obtaining an objective of freeing his father’s Dragon army, Lorcan disposed of the Brotherhood by killing them, sealing Discord’s soul from his stone body, and turned Boris into a giant reptilian titan beast; Boris, the Black Devil.” The book narrated in explaining what scenes were shown of Lorcan disposing of his allies in such cruel and evil ways that shock anyone in the room. “But soon fate between brothers of the Dragon species, Spike managed to defeat Lorcan before he was disappearing from existence.” The book showed the combat scene of where Spike & Lorcan fought until finally, Lorcan vanished away from being hit by the Elements of Harmony that Spike wore during the battle. “Wait, when it said fate between brothers, then that must be saying….” Harold stops everything in realizing a big picture that was clearly needing to be seen. “Yeah, Lorcan was my older brother who was turned evil by our father. But by the end, he was turned back to good before he perished that day.” Spike rubbed his shoulder in admitting that the enemy was an older brother that he never knew he had. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courtney: Wow, I actually feel kinda bad for Spike. Fighting his brother, all because of what his father did. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sam: I know fathers are strict, but man, I almost feel bad with the treatment Lorcan must have gone through. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dawn: I sense Spike’s aura, he is very disturbed by what happened, I feel that pain; And I must help heal such a soul for the loss of family. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “So where all of those that were killed, are they gone too,” Dawn asked in being concern about those that were killed, Discord is around, so what of the other Brotherhood members? “Nah, all of them escape, then some got arrested, then some pony named Trix Lulamoon broke them out of prison, and now they are hiding.” Phobos shrugs off to say about what sorta things played out for them. “But Trixie was giving a new chance when she tried to takeover with the Alicorn amulet.” Spike stated in telling these ponies of something else that happened. “What’s the amulet thing do?” Heather asked off with a suspicious stare in hearing this story now. “Provides a pony with lots of magic, but the more they use it, the more evil they become!” Pinkie Pie explained with a serious face in what the amulet in question does which earn some ponies’ attention. “Wow, that’s like, seriously messed up, yo!” Ezekiel spoke off in hearing this and couldn’t believe it much. “So, what was the next baddy afterwards, eh?” He asked in what was the next foe the good ponies had to face next. “Acknowledge.” The book responded in hearing the command before performing the duty, “Sixth foe….Tirek.” It issued off in what was the sixth enemy the ponies fought. Now the scene shows an enemy that was suddenly reemerging from the darkness that stood up in a chariot and wielded a sack that let loose a terrible black pitch rainbow. “An evil enemy of the past before Equestria’s birth, was once the place called Ponyland. He ruled to capture to turn ponies into evil dragons. His defeat was lead to the Mag’ne with the Rainbow of Light. But his return was unexpected when the Changelings were helping in his revival & the return of his powerful weapon; the Rainbow of Darkness. But a miracle happened when the Elements of Harmony changed the new Rainbow of Darkness, into the next and new Rainbow of Light; giving double the rainbow power to completely extinguish his evil soul forever and return things to the way they were while sending the Changelings scattered apart. And the new Rainbow of Light became the object for the Mag’ne to be the sole keeper of once again.” The book narrated in explaining what the enemy was shown doing in the past to the events of the present before being defeated in a similar way twice while Megan received a new Rainbow of Light. Everyone who’s heard this was also pretty much blown away. Who knew that there was an enemy around the times of the ponies’ ancestors and about another human being coming. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dakota: Wow, to think there was an old enemy to the ponies, and he looked mean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah: I for one thought it was a little overkill, I mean, come on….you can change someone to be a Dragon. Wait, can you? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- “Boy, that must’ve been harsh!” Trent spoke in feeling sorry for these ponies in what they must’ve gone through. “For our ancestors and to us, we were glad that Tirek was gone.” Twilight spoke with a smile on her face about the subject in question here. “But in the end, at least we got a new Rainbow of Light, just in case we need to contact Megan for help if we’re desperate.” Ben stated in what they now have from the bright side of what almost happened to them. “So what other enemy we got next or some other junk like that?” Anne Maria asked off while she was spraying her mane with the stuff to make it…well, tough. “Acknowledge.” The book responded in hearing the command before performing the duty, “Seventh foe….The Three Tribe Leaders.” It issued off in what was the seventh enemy the ponies fought, were of three foes. The new magical display to be seen were three ghost that looked like the Mane Six’s friends, but they were different, and acted different too. Soon an army of icy looking ponies of all three species were fighting, and in machine type weapons. “The Three Tribes Leaders of Earth, Pegasus & Unicorn Ponies were divided, have been at war during a Wendigo winter frost. History dictates they settle their peace, but they were frozen and turn spirits to attack Equestria of the present. After stealing the Machines of War with Ice Pony creatures made from the ice cold, were going to a three way war. Their plans stopped and changed to good from being freed by their Frozen Chain of Hatred, by the Element User of Music; Johnny Brock.” The book narrate in explaining how the three tribes ghost were almost at war before the ponies fought back, and then from the arrival of Johnny Brock and his music, helped save the day and free the hatred from the souls of the dead. Now a lot of the gang was almost at awe at what they saw, especially that rock star stallion and the music he played; it was amazing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trent: Wow, a rock star pony. Now there’s someone I like to meet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Geoff: Dude, that stallion looks like he could party-hardy! ----------------------------------------------------- Brady: His music was very well played; I could see how he stopped a war. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Man, that Johnny boy can sing a tune, humph!” Leshawna spoke off in seeing that was a pony that had good moves on him. “So…how many other evil villains are left? Who’s next, book?” Owen asked off in who else was still left for them to see. “Acknowledge.” The book responded in hearing the command before performing the duty, “Eighth opponent…Sunset Shimmer.” It issued off in what was the eighth enemy the ponies fought. Now the scene shows in what looks like a unicorn mare before her appearance changes to a human form. This caught the Total Drama crew by surprise, but not as surprising as seeing a Demonic form of the girl that freaked them out. “Former student of Celestia, escaped through a magic mirror that lead to another human base world version of Equestria. Sunset Shimmer’s goal, to wear the Element of Magic to gain it’s magic to plan to conquer Equestria with an army of teen zombies.” The book narrated in what events took place when this enemy came into the picture with a plan to conquer Equestria. “Woooah, freaky horror movie central,” Duncan responded off in seeing this surprise act in a pony that could change to human by going to a different world. “However, Twilight’s venture into the other world to reclaim the crown and fix the damages, have restored balance. Even against a Demonic enemy, her friendship with the other world versions of the Mane Six, helped in settling to fix all the evil done. Sunset was defeated, cure of whatever darkness that controlled her, to be given a chance to redeem herself to learning friendship, thanks to Twilight Sparkle’s kind and noble advice.” The book explained in showing Twilight’s determination that helped her defeat Sunset Shimmer that helped save both worlds and had the girl that did the crime learn an important lesson. The scene shows how the others were taking this little news that the ponies could go human by entering such a different place. -------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay: Awww, that’s so sweet in helping a friend. Much better than what Heather’s done. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Eva: Gotta say, it took guts to stand up to a big Demonic enemy, Twilight has some of my respect….just some. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cameron: So if they learn we were humans, would we say we stubble from that world or say we came from that world after accidentally going there once? Man, so hard to know which is better to cover up our story. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “So have we seen all the evil dudes? Lightning feels that though they were fearful, it ain’t really dangerous if they are all gone?” Lightning asked off dryly in thinking that they saw all the beaten baddies, or was there more still left undone. “There were others, book, tell them.” Ben reported before having the book that had the data, tell more. “Acknowledge.” The book responded in hearing the command before performing the duty.,“Ninth enemies….the Eight Demon Lords.” It issued off in what was the ninth bunch of enemies the ponies fought, or at least some of them did. Soon the scene shows what from the magical display the book showed were…eight terrible looking demons that freaked the Total Drama gang out; there were big ones, small ones, scary ones, ones that used element base magic, and then some; And it showed scenes of when Twilight, Ben, Nyx, Phobos, Spike & Tough Apple were traveling in a place with Justin the MechBull pulling their cart. “During a moment when Sweet Apple Acres crops for growing were strangely unable to grow vegetation, Twilight Sparkle led a small rescue band to go to the End of Equestria to gather ingredients. But along the way, the dangerous of the Eight Immortal Demon Lords each sent forth their vicious Guardian Pets & Servants. The enemies were….Hsi Wu the Sky Demon, Xiao Fun the Wind Demon, Dai Gui the Earth Demon, Bai Tza the Water Demon, Tchange Zu the Thunder Demon, Po Kong the Mountain Demon, Shendu the Fire Demon, and Tso Lan the Moon Demon. All the Demon Lords tried to stop the heroes, but were defeated and banish back into their Neitherworld imprisonment.” The book narrated from the scenes that showed the devastating results of what the Sparkle gang fought, and it was more than any of the other stuff seen so far. Now the group was really surprised in seeing that there was such dangerous creatures, heck, most of the things like the Demon Lord’s servants & pets/Guardians were very scary and freaky stuff. And facing the very Demon Lords that had such power was really scary. ------------------------------------------------------------ Gwen: Man, talk about going against the bad odds; I mean.,…facing Demons? Does it get any worst then that? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoey: I know the ponies fought against some baddies, but to face eight very powerfulDdemons? That took guts. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: Between dealing with those evil monsters and Chris….I almost would welcome them than handle what Chris plans to torture us with next. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Man, you guys are awesome, it’s like you’ve gain so much experience points, you fought tougher bosses in all the challenges in a game.” Sam stated in never believing a bund of ponies and two baby dragons fought against such odds, and as a gamer, he can tell it was not easy. “So like, is that all of them?” Dakota asked off in wondering if they have finally seen all of the worst villains. “Wait, there’s another page.” Mike spoke in about to turn the page for Noah…only it was glowing a strong purple magical glow. “Urrgh, what, it won’t open? Book,” Mike asked i demanding why the book of Enemy Guide wasn’t letting them see what else was stored in it. “Access denied; other data on unexplained foes & powerful enemies are still in process.” The book reported out that there was still some foes unknown and are too much for those that don’t wanna meet them…to know of them. “This work is the label as the most powerful foes yet to appear. All current knowledge is incomplete while most facts are available.” It explained that it had some information, but to learn of such enemies is too dangerous for some. “Really, then fire it open and let’s see.” Duncan smirked in liking the sounds of this; even badder dudes might make things more interesting than what they learn already. “How about not, you’ve already learn a few things, we can show you the other parts another day.” Twilight spoke in seeing that maybe it’s best the new ponies don’t ‘yet’ know about enemies like the Superior & his organization, the Dark Mystics, or even about a Demon god that’s worst than the Demon Lords: Grimmore the Overlord King of Tartarus. “Yeah, and there are some facts that are kinda kept a little more secret for personal reasons, and that there are other enemies we fought, but you’ve seen just the top contenders.” Pinkie Pie pops in to issue this off in what has been said and done and it’s close enough for them to deal with. “Besides, you said you have to be somewhere today, right?” Ben pointed in reminding the new ponies that they said they had other plans. “He’s right, come on you guys, let's let them be and forget the nasty villains, and just have a little fun.” Trent smiled in thinking that Ben made a point; they shouldn’t be thinking about evil villains, they’ll have more than enough troubles with what games Chris McClean will throw at them. “Count me in!” Pinkie Pie smiles to say in awaiting to join the fun part. “Me two,” Izzy pops next to Trent in also agreeing on the subject. Soon the group was leaving the library with only Spike & Phobos coming in last place. “Boy, wait till they learn of the enemies still out there. They be so scared, they wet themselves.” Phobos stated off in knowing that when the new group learns of what enemies still exist, very deadly serious ones, it scare their pants off. “Don’t, if they knew, they may just freak out and leave. Besides, for some, if they leave, may as well be the ones we can’t get along with.” Spike stated that its best those guys not learn yet, unless they wanna scare away the mean ones, then it’s a different story. “Agreed,” Phobos nods in agreeing to such terms with Spike. Now the Dragons leave the room while the Book of Enemy Guide was left alone on the table. Just as the scene goes dark with mysterious of what those that don’t know yet….is that there are always enemies watching the heroes every move….looking for the chance to attack. And the Total Drama gang will learn that even as ponies and in Equestria, danger may pop out in moments you never…see them coming... ------------------------------------------------------------------- A little later, out on the streets, Pinkie and Izzy were calmly humming to themselves as everyone was discussing some things to themselves. (Pinkie and Izzy) Love and marriage, Love and marriage, Go together like a horse and carriage This, we tell you brother, You can't have one without the other, Love and marriage! Love and marriage! As Pinkie and Izzy were laughing to themselves, Heather was rolling her eyes as she picked up a magazine and started to read it. As she was reading, she noticed Alejandro reading over her shoulder. "Do you mind?" Heather frowned as she turned around. "Not at all," Alejandro said as he went near her. Heather growled to herself as she walked off, magazine in hoof. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: (still with magazine in hand) finally! Some peace and quiet! All I want to do is read, and yet Alejandro is still bothering me! No doubt he wants to bother me on who my new boyfriend is and how I find him more interesting that Alejandro. Alejandro can't take a hint that I don't like him! Yes, I may have HAD a slight crush on him, but that was just it. He was just a jerk through and through! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alejandro: I can't believe this! All I want to do is find out information about that boyfriend of Heather's! Who is he? What is his story? How is he better than me? And if that's not enough, NOT everybody is appreciating me! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We then see Alejandro smiling as he tries to flirt with Dakota. "Get off." Dakota frowned as she pushed Alejandro off. "Seriously," Sam frowned as he went to defend Dakota. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alejandro: I'm not getting my charms up to date.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anne Maria frowned as she pulled out some pepper spray and sprayed it on Alejandro, "Pervert!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alejandro: Noah won't even talk to me! I'm supposed to be their captain! What the heck is going on? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pretty soon, mail time came in as Gwen, Alejandro, Scott and B got the letters. "Dear everyone, come to the Everfree Forest, leave behind one unicorn, Pegasus and Alicorn, who will not be necessary for this next challenge." Gwen quickly read before the Mane 6 approached them. "I'm sitting out here." Heather said as soon as Alejandro read the letter. "You just want to get away from me!" Alejandro said. "I have a boyfriend. Stop trying to get me back." Heather said. "Yeah, let's all sit Heather out." Everyone came into agreement. Alejandro's eyes widened as he said, "I can't believe you're doing this!" "We are." Sam said. "You'll be okay on your own?" "Fine," Heather nodded as she started to walk off. "I have... better things to do..." "Mind if I sit this out?" Mike asked the others. "I feel I should spend more time with Nyx..." "No problem at all." Courtney said. "You'll need some time..." Dawn started to calmly meditate as she said, "I better sit this out. I have a feeling this next part is going to be a little... hairy." "No problem, Dawn. We'll be happy to oblige." B nodded. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: All right, finally, I have my moment away from the others. Maybe I can finally relax... and do what I... usually do. (Shifts eyes) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike: After talking with Nyx the other day, I want to know more about her. Why she seems so nervous, how someone young like Twilight got Nyx, and...well I have a feeling me and Nyx... connect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn: This next challenge, I felt, involved the elements in a very unique... Mario Party-esque way, so I decided to sit out for the better. I'm not all THAT good at luck based challenges, anyway. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As we see the others leave, Twilight blinked in confusion as she turned to Heather, Mike and Dawn. "Why aren't you going with them?" "Letter says Chris doesn't need us." Mike said. "So, it's just a free day for all three of us." "Oh, that's good." Pinkie said. "Right," Heather said as she stretched. "Well, gotta get going on something." Heather then started to trot off as she headed straight to the Library. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike: Well, Heather going off certainly wasn't suspicious at all... but at this point, we don't know whether it's for game purposes, or for her own... one thing for sure, Heather can be a tricky one... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As soon as Heather entered in the Library, she looked around and realized she was alone for the moment. Heather sighed in relief as she decided to take her bag and go right down to the basement. Heather quickly locked the door as she sighed in relief. Heather quickly pulled out the stuffed cat from her bag and hugged it, sighing. "Oh..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris gave a little smirk as he said, "I wonder what the story IS with that stuffed cat of hers..." "Either way, this is good gossip." Discord smiled as he ate popcorn. "It's time for the challenge. Come on." Chef frowned as he pulled Chris and Discord away. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, at the Everfree Forest, the four teams arrived at the entrance. "Okay, teams, looks like we may be in another rough part of Chris's challenges." Gwen said in concern. "So try to be alert, okay?" "Right, no problem," Bridgette said with a nod. "Right behind ya, Gwen," Trent said, patting Gwen on the back, making her grin. ----------------------- Gwen: Well, I'm glad to be the good guy again; the whole idea of me being a bad guy because of 'stealing Duncan'; False advertising. ------------------------- Alejandro: Yes, yes, I'm shocked that Heather has remained behind, but I figured that if I placed my cards, I will still be the villain I always am. (Smirks evilly) This is where the big fun begins. ----------------------------- Scott: Those other doofuses are going down! Ha ha ha ha! And hopefully Fang isn't around to bite into me. (Pause) He isn't here, right? ----------------------------- B: The Pegasi and the Earth Ponies are the only teams that got some villains in them; Which means, I gotta keep my eye out on Alejandro, that back-stabbing Scott and of course any other creeps like Lightning and Jo. ----------------------------- The group saw their hosts waiting. Chris smirks as he exclaims, "Hello, ponies! Welcome to Tartarus in which I called 'the first elimination challenge'. "First off, before we begin, Miss Jo, there was a little incident involving you and my granddaughter Nyx." Celestia said sternly to Jo. "What? The brat's parents can't take a joke?" Jo asked Celestia with a scoff. "Come on, they need to lighten up." "That was no joke. It was bullying. And you didn't end there, no. Chris?" Celestia asked Chris who brings in a monitor and turns it on. The monitor shows an unseen clip of Jo recovering from Twilight and Ben's assaults. She scowls angrily, "Ugh, those stupid parents. That Mary Sue brat is so going to get it when I throw her in the river! Ha! Let's see if she tries to swim after that!" After the clip is shown, most of the ponies gave a glare at Jo. "That doesn't prove nothing; why would you care? She's a Sc..." Jo begins to remarks but Celestia cuts her off. "I don't take any tolerance in any pony making threats or harassing ponies of my family. And I don't think it's a best idea for you to stay at the library any further for Nyx's sake." Celestia said sternly while Luna nods in agreement. "I think for the safely of my granddaughter, we do a little tribal switch." "In that case, you can take the liar!" Scott remarked, pushing Staci over to the Pegasi. "AJ doesn't want her and neither do I!" "It is agreed!" Luna exclaims. Jo rolled her eyes as she goes over to her new group the Groundin' Earth Ponies while Staci goes over to the Flying Pegasus. "Can I at least have my species change if I'm going to be hanging with the newies?" Jo asks Celestia dryly. "No. You will stay in your current forms until your time in the case is over." Celestia snaps sternly. "I will be keeping an eye on you closely, Miss Jo. Make any further attempts to harass my granddaughter and I may’ve found an instant elimination!" "Oooh sucks to be you, Jo." Chris laughs a bit at the demand made by the Goddess of the Sun. "You'll pay for this!" Jo shouted in rage. "Okay. Do you take cash or credit?" Luna asked with a smirk, making most of the players laugh at that joke. "ZING!" Chris exclaimed with a grin. Celestia then zaps Jo with magic from her, electrocuting her a bit. Sam exclaims, "Whoa!" Celestia stops, making Jo looking a bit fried. The Alicorn said sternly, "That's another warning, Miss Jo." ----------------------------- Brady: Dang. I guess when it comes to family, best not to get on her bad side. ----------------------------- Staci: I don't mind being on another team! It sounds like a new adventure. Like my great uncle Waldo who used to... ----------------------------- "Okay, now that's done, time for the first elimination challenge. This will decide which teams will be getting invincibility and which one will be facing elimination." Chris said with a nod. "Normally, this would've been a challenge where once 2 teams won, the last 2 teams gotta face elimination. But because of Blaineley's removal from the game, we will go for 1 for now." Discord said, juggling his eyeballs, making the females disturbed. "Yeah, since our team is down a member, can we be immune from this?" Justin asks the hosts hopefully. "My face doesn't need any more pounding." "Yeah, sorry; Too early for an immunity, You gotta play the game like everyone else." Chris said to Justin, dashing his hopes a bit. "Nice try, pretty boy." Gwen said smugly to Justin, insulting him. Justin glared at her for that remark as he growled. ----------------------------- Gwen: Man, after what he did to me in Total Drama Action, I've been waiting to talk him down! ----------------------------- Jo: I oughta feed that ugly little black horse to a shark, and then set that library tree on fire when this is over! If there's one thing that should be sent to Tartarus, it's that phony princess egghead and her retarded family! ----------------------------- "Now the challenge; As you know, earlier today, the Flying Pegasus's team elements are going to be used for this challenge." Luna said, beginning the introductions. "They are at the end of this obstacle course which you will all be running." "Now then, when Twilight and her friends were looking for the Elements of Harmony, my sister as Nightmare Moon threw in dangerous obstacles to try to stop them." Celestia explains the story. "One of the major dangers of the Everfree Forest is the deadly thorns which were once planted by Discord himself to try to destroy Equestria one time." "Now, we don't have any thorns since they are now gone but thanks to our pal Discord, we got something better." Chris said as Chef, in a radioactive suit, opens a box that is glowing. Using a pair of tongs, the big man took out a pink glowing item. "This item is a glowing pink stinging urchin. And trust me; you don't want to touch it." "Oooh, I wanna touch it!" Lindsay exclaims with a squeal. "Yeah, touch it and its goodbye, airhead." Jo remarked cruelly. "And you don't want to touch any of its friends." Discord remarks with a mischievous smile. He motions to the obstacle course up ahead that has more stinging urchins along it. "I wanna touch them!" Lindsay exclaims more excitedly, making some of the ponies shake their heads at this. "Touch them, and she'll be regretting it, in Tartarus!" Jo commented with a cruel laugh. "That is indeed one of the obstacles you will be chasing. There's more." Celestia said as she explains each part of the course. The camera shows each part. "The first part is the Clliffs of Honestly. Once you reach them, you gotta climb down. "But thou be careful. They tend to collapse." Luna warns the players, showing a collapsing cliff. "And then there's the Manticore of Kindness. We put a few Manticores in the way. Don't worry, they won't sting you. But they are dangerous." Celestia said, showing some manticores in the way. "To get by them, you must find a way by taming or fighting." "And I'm gonna make sure there are a couple less retards to worry about." Jo said quietly with an evil smirk. "Third, there's the Trees of Laughter, which, of course, involves a spooky forest which can be hard to get through." Celestia said, showing a bunch of spooky trees. "Oh, and players; that part is in the dark." Chris remarks with a cruel smile as Discord made clouds appear over the trees part, covering it in darkness. "Perfect." Jo said quietly with a menacing look on her face. Once the ponies get into the unseeable dark, she'll make her move, not giving a flying fudge what Celestia and Luna wants. "And then there's the River of Generosity." Chris said with a smile, nodding to a river where Steven Magnet is at. "Fill with sea serpents...and oh yes. We brought in an old friend to make it more entertaining." A familiar shark peeks out, waving to the ponies sinisterly. The ones who knew him from Seasons 4 and 5 scream in terror, "AAAAHHH! IT'S FANG!!!" ----------------------------- Scott: (panicked) not that!!! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!! ----------------------------- Jo: I thought that thing is gone for good, or at least back on Earth! (Gasps, grins evilly) But then again, Fang could be helpful in getting rid of that Mary-Sue, once and for all. ----------------------------- Chris: Yeah, I know, but I decided to freak the players out with a blast from the past. What can I say? I'm evil. ----------------------------- "You got to figure out a way to get across the river safely. But be careful, Fang has some 'personal issues' with two certain players." Chris explains, making Scott and Alejandro a bit nervous upon seeing Fang waiting in the river. "And then there's the Fog of Loyalty; which is foggy and hard to see. And some former minions of mine are in there to make things difficult." Luna said as we see familiar glowing eyes in the fog. "Then after that, it's a dash to my castle where the Elements are at. The first three teams to make it across will win invincibility." Celestia said, finishing up the instructions. "The last Team who fails to do so, will come to Castle Canterlot later where Luna and I will decide who shall remain in Equestria no more." "Also, the player who messes up the most in this challenge will get the boot." Chris remarks sternly, making the players worried. He gave an evil smirk while holding up a dirty boot, "This boot to be precise. It's very dirty and you got to wear it all day." B gave a devilish smirk as he glared at Scott on hearing that, remembering too well what happened long ago when Scott cost him and his team a challenge. "Okay, players, prepare yourselves for the first challenge." Celestia instructs as the players prepares themselves. "Does this mean if we lose, we gotta get rid of another player?" Owen asks his fellow team players in worry. "Relax; you got everything you need right in here." Lightning said, pointing right to himself. "Uh, in our hearts," Owen ask Lightning in surprise. "No way; me; Lightning is going to carry all of us!" Lightning snaps to Owen in irritation. "You are a loon!" Eva shouted angrily at that remark, not liking Lightning's arrogance. "Like we'd let you lead us to victory!" Ezekiel agreed. "Yeah, let me do the carrying, Light-jerk." Jo remarks to her new team player. "Okay, team, it's about team work so let's try to win this one." Gwen said to her team calmly. "Right," The rest of the Magical Unicorns cheer on wildly. "All right, team. You may not like me for let's try to work to win this to avoid getting eliminated first." Alejandro said to the other team players who nod, reluctantly agreeing to work with him...for once. "Team, we are Alicorns for a reason so let's try to win like one!" B exclaims, giving an encouraging prep talk with his team. "Yeah," The rest of the Alicorns cheered. "All right, get ready." Chris said as the teams got into position. "Get set..." Discord pulls out a big bull horn and presses it, making a loud noise. Luna booms out in her Royal Canterlot Voice, "GO!!!!" The teams rush down the obstacle course. Lindsay giggles as she jumps towards one of the urchins, laughing, "I wanna touch it!" The new Earth pony lands on the urchin, but yelps as she got zapped, getting a nasty swell (a big bump on her hooves). "Ouch, okay, touching urchins; Big no no." "HA HA," Jo laughed cruelly towards Lindsay while passing by. "Come on, Lindsay!" Eva exclaims as she and Brick help Lindsay up to resume the race. The teams rush through the obstacle course, dodging the urchins to avoid what Lindsay has gone through though some of them got stung. The Magical Unicorns and the Groundin' Earth Ponies reach the cliffs and climbs down them carefully. "Careful, careful," Gwen instructs her team carefully as they begin to climb down. Alejandro's team arrives and flies down to avoid the cliffs altogether. "Sweet, this is awesome flying!" Sam laughs as he flew near Dakota to the bottom. "I know." Dakota said with a giggle, landing on the ground. "Later former team," Staci exclaims to the Ground Ponies as she and her new team left. Jo glares as she turns to Scott and Lightning, saying, "Hey boys! Wanna feel the villainous edge again?" "Sure do. How," Scott asks Jo, hoping for that villainous edge again. "Then help me with this!" Jo orders Scott and Lightning. The trio waits as Gwen got onto a cliff...then they kick at it, collapsing it to collapse. Gwen yelps as she begins to fall. Trent yelps and quickly grabs her by her upper hooves in time. Scott, Lightning and Jo laughs as they quickly head down after the rest of their team mates. "Why, those cheaters!" Geoff yells out at the two new Earth Ponies and one new Pegasus angrily. "Hang on, Gwen!" Trent exclaims, keeping his hold onto Gwen's hooves. The Unicorn is gotta panic. ---------------------- Gwen: I'm going to die. I going to die now... ------------------ "Trent, don't let go! Oh, what am I going to do?!" Gwen asks Trent with a look of fear and worry on her face. Trent cringes a bit then realizes something. He calms down enough for him to say, "Let go." "What?! Are you crazy?!" "Look, I know I made some mistakes in the past, I know that. But please trust me. You will be safe if you let go. Please..." Gwen looks at Trent's eyes, there appears to be hope and truth in his eyes. Will she be safe? Gwen cringes her teeth...and let go, screaming... To her surprise, Gwen didn't hit the ground but is grabbed by both Cody and DJ who held her while flying carefully. The Unicorns look surprised. "What? There's nothing in the rule book saying we can't help the other teams." DJ said to Gwen with a smile. The Goth Unicorn nods, smiling to Trent as he jumps down the cliffs safely. "Good work." B said to his team as they and the Magical Unicorns reach the bottom. "Yeah, thanks Trent." Gwen said with a blush. "No problem. Let's get going." Trent said eagerly. The teams kept on going, but yelps as more urchins are fired at them...by Chef riding in a flying platform. Harold screams as one hit him on the arm, "Ouch; My arm!" "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell ya." Chris said as he spoke through a megaphone while riding on Luna's back. "Chef is going to do some firing; Silly me." "Chris, you jerk!" Jo exclaims. She screams as another urchin hits her on the back, making it swell up a bit. Up ahead, a Manticore blocks the Flying Pegasuses, making them yelp. Anne Marcia screams. Alejandro however smirks as he spoke to it, "Excuse me. I couldn't help but notice how your eyes look so amazing; and your tail? Makes you look like a movie star." That did it. Alejandro's charm hypnotizes the Manticore, making it look at him with a happy daze. Alejandro smirks as he and his team move aside. That was simple. -------------- Alejandro: Ha! If only Heather has saw that one! ------------------------- "Give me that!" Jo scowls, seeing what happens. Justin grabs an Urchin with his tail (so it won't swell up) and gives it to Jo who quickly swats it right onto another Manticore. It roars in pain as the urchin hits it in the paw, causing it to run around like mad. "That's dirty." Brick groans a bit at the foul play. "That's Total Drama!" Scott remarks, laughing as he and his team rush past the Manticore who is hurting. The Manticore meanwhile roars as it pounces towards the Magical Unicorns and Immortal Alicorns, making them yelp in alarm . Harold exclaims, "Gawd; Crazy Manticore!" "Move move!" Zoey exclaims as the teams dodge the mad Manticore trying to hit the ponies with its tail. "That Manticore is on the attack!" "I got him!" Courtney exclaims as she kicks at the Manticore, making it yelp. She laughs only for the monster to roar at her, causing her mane to raises up, "AAAH!" "We gotta figure out a way to calm him down!" Cameron exclaims, using his magic to block the mad Manticore's next attack. "Or the others will beat us." The stallion screams as an urchin hits him on the flank, making it swell up, "Holy horse feathers!" "Wait, look!" Bridgette exclaims, pointing to an urchin in the Manticore's paw. She rushes up to the creature. "Whoa, Bridge, get back!" Geoff exclaims. The mare pays him no mind, holding up a hoof to signal the Manticore to stop, much to its puzzlement. "It's okay, big guy. Let me help...let me help..." Bridgette said gently. The Manticore hesitates and holds out the paw showing the urchin. With her magic, she pulls it out...causing the creature to roar. "BRIDGETTE!!!" The last two teams scream in alarm . But to their surprise, Bridgette is laughing as the Manticore is licking her mane with his tongue. "Ha ha ha; you are such a cutie; A little kitten!" "'Little'," Duncan ask in disbelief upon hearing this. The Manticore gratefully let Bridgette go as the last two teams goes onward. Gwen spoke to Bridgette with a smile, "Nice work, Bridgette." "Thanks. I am a lover of animals. It just takes an act of Kindness." Bridgette said with a nod. Gwen grins as she and her team heads onward. In the woods part, every team arrives, struggling. Leshawna remarks, "Man this place is spooky." "It's hard to see where I'm going." Tyler complains. He yelps as the Pegasi steps in an urchin. "Ouch!" Meanwhile, Jo smirks devilishly to her team as she said, "Time to get Al's team out of the playing field." The bully took out a special jar. "What is that?" Ezekiel asks Jo puzzled. "I swiped this from that dumb Alicorn's lab; Time to make things spooky!" Jo laughs cruelly as she opens the jar, causing some nasty essence to appears and possesses the trees. They roar and laugh at the other teams, making them scream in pain. "Gah; No," Sierra screams, holding onto Cody, much to his discomfort; Scott; Lightning and Jo laughs madly as they and their team heads on ahead. The rest AKA Eva, Brick, Ezekiel, Justin and Owen shook their heads, apparently not approving of this. "Keep them away! Keep them away!" Beth exclaims, holding onto Brady. ------------------------------------- Anne Maria: (angrily) you know, for Ground Ponies, some of their members are darn cheaters! ----------------- Harold: So, well, I thought we were in big trouble...but then something odd happens... --------- The trapped teams scream...when something happens. To the others' confusion, Izzy was laughing while making faces at a tree and making funny noises. Gwen looks confused. What is that crazy pony think she's doing? "Izzy, are you crazy more so than usual?! Run!!" Gwen exclaims frantically to Izzy. "Oh, everypony, don't you see?" Izzy asks her friends (and rival) happily. The other ponies look confused as she begins to sing. Izzy: When I was back in Ponyville And the sun was going down... "Oh, tell me she's not." Duncan said in annoyance; another song sequence? The darkness and the shadows, They would always make me frown "Yes, she is." Katie said to Duncan sheepishly. I'd hide under my pillow From what I thought I saw But Pinkie Pie said that wasn't the way To deal with fears at all "What is the way, then?" Tyler asked in confusion. She said: Izzy, you gotta stand up tall Learn to face your fears You'll see that they can't hurt you Just laugh to make them disappear Ha, ha, ha! To the others' surprise, after Izzy laughs at a scary tree... the tree flashes, no longer possessed. That sounds fun and amazing so the other ponies on the remaining last 3 teams join in, laughing along. Even Duncan is having fun. So, giggle at the ghostly Guffaw at the grossly Crack up at the creepy Whoop it up with the weepy Chortle at the kooky Snortle at the spooky And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... HAHAHAHA...heh... LAAAAAAAUUUGH! Soon all the scary faces disappear, causing all the trees to be become unpossessed. They then all land on the ground, laughing in delight. "Okay, for once, that song I like." Duncan laughs a bit. "Yeah, fun!" Izzy giggles a bit. "Okay, back to your hooves, we got a game to deal with." Noah said as the ponies got back up to resume the race. -------------- Cameron: I was scared of Izzy but after seeing what she did...I am getting less scared of her. Nice work! --------------- Alejandro: (frowns) No one outcheats Alejandro! Those Earth Ponies team players better watch out! ------------- As Chris laughed, he relaxed as he started to eat some popcorn. "If this was all me, I'd be enjoying the show right now!" "This IS all you." Discord paused. "Well, most of it is all you.” Celestia paused as she decided to summon a screen. Chris looked up as he asked, “What are you doing?” “Well, it’s going to take about two hours before they get close to the challenge, so let’s see how everything is over at the sit outs for a little while…” Celestia said as she turned on the screen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, back in Ponyville... Dawn was relaxing a bit as she was looking out towards a cliff and meditating. Dawn took a deep breath as she said, "So peaceful..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn: It was one of those days, I'm glad we don't have to worry about a challenge and what is going to happen along the road... though I wonder why Chris asked most of us to sit out. He NEVER does that... it's either a Celestia order, or something odd is going on... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We then see Mike and Nyx talking as they traveled through the town. "So, about these personas you had back then..." Nyx said. "Yes?" Mike said. "You say they were all in your head, right, and only came out at the appropriate times?" Nyx asked. "Pretty much," Mike nodded. "Guess it must have been easy..." Nyx muttered. "Once Mal took over, it wasn't. When I pushed that reset button, all the personas I had disappeared, but deep inside, I know that somewhere there's still a LITTLE bit of the personas left." Mike said. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike: Talking to Nyx, I felt a little... well, more relaxed. It's not easy that we can't reveal we're humans, but once you get down to it, it's really pretty easy. Maybe someday, they'll figure it out, but for now, being a pony, it's relaxing... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A little later, Mike and Nyx entered the Library as Twilight was coming over. "Nyx, there you are. Where have you been?" "Sorry, Mom. I was hanging with Mike." Nyx said as she and Twilight walked over. Mike just smiled as he took a deep breath, was about to leave... then did a straight double take when he saw something interesting on the top shelf. Twilight and Nyx had not noticed this, and presumably, neither did the others in this residence. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike: Okay, so I was doing fine... when I saw something very interesting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike looked both ways to see if anybody was watching. At the moment, nobody was. Mike quickly snatched the item up and put it in his bag before Nyx and Twilight turned around. "We're going to go to the kitchen, do you need anything?" Twilight said. "Could... I have some water?" Mike asked. "Sure." Twilight said as she and Nyx went into the kitchen. Mike sighed in relief as he pulled out the item from his bag. This was a statue of Chris's head... with a note attached. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike: (holds the Chris's head statue in question) The McLean Invincibility Statue! How come Chris never revealed that in the rules? (Pause) Maybe he and Celestia planned for it and kept it all a secret for everyone... maybe they hid it so that someone with a keen eye could find it... anyway, for those who don't know, the McClean Invincibility Statue prevents anybody from being voted out... but Celestia and Luna are choosing who goes, so... how does this work? I read the note... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike quickly detached the note and read it in his best Chris impersonation. "Hello fellow campers. As you may have noticed, that's right; the McClean Invincibility Statue is in play. Now, this statue's rules are a little different. Because whoever HOLDS this statue gets to keep invincibility through the Final Twenty, so that means Celestia AND Luna will basically ignore you until Final Twenty comes around." Mike's eyes widened in interest as he kept reading, "However, notice the color of this Invincibility Statue. The color represents the tribe that you're from. So, that's right, member of the Flying Pegasus tribe, this is YOUR idol. There are four idols in all; one for each different tribe, only one person can play it on either you or your fellow teammate." Mike smiled... as he paused. "Wait, I'm not a... oh crud..." Mike kept reading. "If, however, you are NOT a member of the Flying Pegasus tribe, please give this statue to the nearest member of the Flying Pegasus tribe. You may not keep this for yourself." Mike paused. "Boy, Chris knew how to put in some rules..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike: How do you like that? I thought I may have gotten some safety, but (sighs) I found the freaking Flying Pegasus' invincibility... (Eyes lightened) On the bright side, that means there's another statue for the Magical Unicorns and the two other teams. I'm assuming they hid them somewhere in the homes we're living in, so that means I knew I had to tell Dawn, so that she can get the other Alicorns, whoever she's teamed up with, to find it in Fluttershy's home. AND I have to tell Zoey about it too when she gets back. But... now that I found this statue, I have to give it to the nearest Pegasus... and that just so happened to be... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Down in the basement, Heather was smiling a little bit as she was brushing her stuffed cat, sighing. Somehow, it just made her seem more relaxed. "Hey, Mike, could you go down to the basement? I need some supplies..." Heather yelped as she heard Twilight's voice from upstairs. Heather yelped as she quickly put the stuffed cat back in her bag and just stood up and walked up. As soon as Heather reached the steps, Mike opened the door and came face to face with Heather. "Hmph," Heather frowned as she started to walk off. "Wait, Heather, take this!" Mike said as he put the statue in front of Heather's face. Heather's eyes widened as she took the statue and read the note. As Mike went downstairs, he said, "Don't tell anybody I gave this to you." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike: I know it was a little risky, giving Heather something that can keep her safe until the Final Twenty, but it had to be done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: All right, so I was just... relaxing at that lab... not doing anything suspicious... when that former MPD guy just came in and gave me this... (Holds up the McClean Invincibility Statue) Basically, this is my ticket to the Final Twenty... so I'm basically immune until then! So, that means I can do whatever I want, right? Eh, not really. I still want to get in good graces, as much as it pains me to say this, with everyone here. Now, the last time I had this in my possession, I was stupid enough to leave this behind and just let (groans) that stupid Mexican son of a... (Mutters) take it from my possession, when it is SO clearly mine! And with a new rule Chris enforced saying 'No Stealing the Statues'... I got this! This time, this is in MY possession, and I will play this when the time comes... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather just smiled a little as she quickly put the idol in her bag. She knew she would be going places soon enough... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Celestia and Chris watched, Celestia paused as she said, "I have to admit, I love the twist idea... the four Invincibility Statues and that... how did you manage to hide them ALL in their homes while they were sleeping?" Chris paused. FLASHBACK Inside Twilight's library, everybody was sleeping as Discord entered through the window . Discord carefully tiptoed through the campers as he hid one of the Invincibility Statues on Twilight's shelf. Discord then went out the window as he chuckled. END FLASHBACK "Discord has his ways..." Chris smiled. "Oh, they're getting to the next part!" Discord smiled. Luna and Celestia turned off the screen as Celestia looked over to see that the players have made it to the next obstacle. ------------------------- The Groundin' Earth Ponies reach the river. Looks like they are going to make it ahead...until they reach the river. Scott screams in horror as he jumps onto Eva upon seeing Fang who snaps at him with his jaws. "NO, NO, NO! KEEP HIM AWAY, KEEP HIM AWAY!" Scott exclaims in fear. "Get off me, you idiot!" Eva exclaims angrily. "Fang's in the water, what's your problem?!" "Except he got arms," Scott exclaims, freaking out like mad. "So?" Ezekiel asked. The other teams are arriving, much to Jo's notice. She frowns and said quickly, "We got no time for your stupidity!" Jo quickly flies up and stomps on Fang's head, making him yelp in pain. As he drops down to feel his forehead, the other members quickly follow suit...though Ezekiel's jump make him bounce too high and grabs Steven's other mustache half...and rip it right off by accident. "No! ARGH! MY OTHER MUSTACHE HALF," Steven screams in pain as Ezekiel lands on the other side, making him shake the river like mad. Ezekiel yelps as he runs off, "Oh, the pain; the humiliation! I feel terrible!" The other teams arrive, seeing this. Cody exclaims, "Zeke!" "I'm sure that was an accident." Dakota said in concern. "I'm sure he didn't mean to do that." "Hey, you okay?" Cameron calls out to Steven who is whining while Fang feels his forehead. "Oh, no; my poor other half of my mustache," Steven said in sadness, liking like a dramatic queen. "And that nice unicorn fixed it years ago too." "Aww, looks like the shark is feeling bad too." Bridgette said in pity as she came over to check on Fang. "Stay away from him. Fang is lunatic." Alejandro said, fearing a bit. He grabs Staci while he and his team flew over the river. "Come!" "Sorry, have to win." Noah apologizes to the other last two teams while they head off to go after the Groundin' Earth Ponies. "So long, suckers!" Alejandro shouted at the other teams loudly and rudely as he ran off with an evil laugh. "Oh, you depending need some big help." Zoey said to Steven with a sigh, "Your poor mustache. It looks terrible!" "I know. And the shark fellow is doing bad too." Steven said with a nod. Bridgette made some ice appears. Fang whimpers as she put the ice on it his forehead, the Unicorn said gently, "Its okay. Here you go." ---------------------------------- B: Some of us are still skeptic over Fang but Bridgette's willing to help the poor guy. That's being generous there. ------------------------------- "I know how to fix this mess!" Zoey exclaims as she quickly put her mane in Fang's mouth, "Fang. I need you to rip this out." "Zoey, are you..." Duncan begins to say. The others gasp as Fang quickly yank hard, pulling most of Zoey's tail right off. "Whoa!" "Thank you." Zoey said politely as she uses her magic to take the tail right out of Fang's out. She got to work on getting some special stuff that sticks from nearby, like Rarity did, and sticks her former tail onto where the other half of Steven Magnet's mustache was at. "There you go; good as new!" "Why, thank you, thank you so much!" Steven exclaims happily, looking at himself in a mirror. "Granted, not my old orange color, but it helps." "It fits you well, sir." Zoey said to Steven with a smile, "All right if you help us across?" "Of course, go right ahead!" Steven exclaims, making his body appears as a bridge like he did for the Mane Six not too long ago. The last two teams quickly jump on it to get across. "Zoey, your tail," Gwen said in concern to Zoey. "Relax; it's a generous sacrifice to help a friend. Besides, it will grow back." Zoey said to Gwen with a smile. "So do mustaches." Sierra remarks, making Cody shush her. -------------------------------- Gwen: So far, things are turning out fine. I know Fang will thank us later. ---------------------------- All of the teams made it into the fog, trying to find their way out. Jo remarks, "Ugh, I hate fogs." "Tell me about it." Justin said with a whine. "Looks like mist." "Oh, I like mist. Mist is pretty!" Lindsay exclaims happily. "Well of course mist is pretty. But egad! Is it dull," Scott complains. "I oughta push that airhead off a cliff." Jo grumbled in annoyance from Lindsay's typical airheaded remark. ------------------------------- Jo: If I wanna make it up to that mutant shark, I can give him something to eat. (Pause, then grins evilly) A certain Nightmary Sue that egghead calls her daughter! ------------------------------- The Magical Unicorns, meanwhile, try to find their own way through, feeling trapped. Sadie said, "I hate being lost. It reminds us of when we got lost on the island." "I know. I don't want to cause our team to fail all over again." Katie said in agreement. "I will go up ahead and find a path." Courtney said as she trots up ahead. "Careful, princess," Duncan calls out to Courtney, making her groan. ----------------- Courtney: Ugh! It's like Total Drama Island all over again...except it makes me want to throw him in a ditch. I should ditch them.... ----------------------- As Courtney was looking around, she hears a voice, "Are you the most greatest player in this game?" "Oh, who wants to know?" Courtney asks with a frown on her face. Who is messing with her now? Suddenly, a group of familiar minions, the Shadowbolts, appears. The leader smiles as he said, "You must be the greatest. We are looking for someone who is best at what she does." "Hmmm, well, I'm doing a bit great." Courtney said thoughtfully. "And the truth is, I got plans to deal with the ones who could cost me this game and I rather not lose again..." "Good...we are looking for a player...we are...the team that comes in, doing some team participation." The leader said with a smile. "Say the word and we will make you the greatest and help you win!" "Say, that sounds like a good offer." Courtney remarks with a smile. Maybe this could be her chance to win without going through a lot of trouble. "Let me get my team and..." "Ah. This offer is for you, not for them! It's you or them." The Shadowbolts leader said sinisterly. Courtney looks stunned. These Pegasus like ponies want her to abandon her team? Well, some of them has hurt her and double-cross her before, "Choose!" "Courtney? Courtney?" Geoff calls out from behind Courtney though the fog is making is hard for them to get to her. "What is she doing?" Zoey ask in concern. Even Gwen and Duncan are worried, wondering what her pal is doing. "Well?" The leader asks Courtney sinisterly. "You..." Courtney said, making the leader smirk evilly. However, she said, "I mean, thank you, but no. I got a team already so I ain't forsaking them." The Shadowbolts frowns as Courtney trots back to her team. The fog disappears along with them. The Magical Unicorns see her and exclaim, "Courtney!" "Courtney. Did we hear somepony with you?" Gwen asked Courtney in surprise. "Did..." "Come on, I wouldn't leave my team hanging." Courtney said with a smile. ----------------- Katie: You know, for a moment I thought Courtney is, like, going to ditch us. Sadie: I know, but after that, I like trust her again. -------------------- Courtney: After that incident, I decided: I'm ditching my winners and runner-ups plan. I can't turn on Gwen now. I made a mistake of choosing money over friendship before. I am not going to let that happen again. --------------------- The teams are coming out of the fog and see the castle across a ravine which can be get to via bridge. Chef fires more urchins at them as they race across the bridge and into the castle. The Groundin' Earth Ponies got in first, heading to the hosts who are waiting near the faus Elements. "The Groundin' Earth Ponies are the first!" Celestia exclaims as the Groundin' Earth Ponies reach the finish line. The last three teams arrive barely. "Follow by the Immortal Alicorns, the Flying Pegasus and the Magical Unicorns." "Ha! Yeah," Lightning cheers as the rest of the Groundin' Earth Ponies cheers on, much to the disappointment of the other three teams. "Sucks to be you," Scott sneers to the Magical Unicorns. "You are last so one of you is saying bye-bye!" "Actually, the race isn't over yet." Luna said with a smirk, much to the notice of the teams. "Surprise; we added a surprise twist to this little game." Discord said, twisting himself around mischievously. "Oh, yeah; like what?" Jo asked angrily in a rude tone. Chef brought in a monitor as Chris explains, "We added a points system to this season. Your performance in this challenge will determine if you move up a rank or not. Watch carefully." The monitor shows the cliffs area with Trent helping Gwen. Celestia smiles, saying, "Trent here displays a show of Honesty in assuring Gwen that she will be safe. Therefore, the Magical Unicorns move up to third place." "Seriously," Trent and Gwen asked in surprise and unison as they smiled while the rest of the Magical Unicorns cheer. The monitor shows Bridgette helping out a Manticore with the sting urchin. Celestia smiles, adding, "Ah yes; Bridgette is helping out the poor Manticore. That is an act of Kindness. Therefore, the Magical Unicorns move up to second place, the Immortal Alicorns is in third, and the Flying Pegasus is in last. The teams cheer so far, though the Flying Pegasus look worried. They will be last if that's all the points to be given here. Luna now chose an image of Izzy laughing and helping the others (minus the team members of the Groundin' Earth Ponies) laugh. Luna comments, "Izzy has shown the spirit of Laughter in helping her friends deal with the trees being possessed by the spirit; Henceforth, the Flying Pegasus move up to third place. This got the Flying Pegasus cheering at that, relieved that they won't be in last place. "Okay, next image." Chris said, showing an image of Zoey giving up her tail to help Steven, "Nice; Zoey giving up her tail to help Steven Magnet there; an act of Generosity. Good job there." The Magical Unicorns cheer onward while Zoey smiles a bit. Not enough to make it into first place, but that counts. Celestia now shows an image of Courtney refusing the offer from the Shadowbolts. She said, "And now, Courtney, who refuse to give up her team for a chance to win . She has displayed Loyalty to her team and friends." "Courtney, you're the best!" Gwen exclaimed as she hugged Courtney happily. "Okay, so far, the results are, Groundin' Earth Ponies are in First Place, the Magical Unicorns still in second place, the Flying Pegasus are in third, and the Immortal Alicorns are last." Luna said, giving out the results. For a moment, Jo shrugs a bit, thinking that her team still won. "However, now is the time for point deduction." "For what," Jo demands angrily. "Oh, let's see..." Discord said, showing certain screenshots on the monitor, "Endangering team players, injuring a Manticore, stealing from a princess of Equestria and releasing spirits into the Laughter section; My, my; Just cheating." "What about Zeke?! He ripped off that sea serpent's mustache!" Scott protests, recalling what Ezekiel did earlier. "Yes, but what he did was an accident." Chris remarks, although part of him wishes to deduct points for that. "We can't deduct points for that. Anyway, Jo, Scott and Lightning broke major rules." "Since when did you care about rules?" Jo asks Chris in disbelief. "You let Mal get away with it in Season 5!" "Well, that was before I got two stern princesses looking over my shoulder." Chris said. He wants to let this madness slide, but Celestia and Luna wouldn't let him. "And thus, the Groundin' Earth Ponies are now down to last place." Celestia said with a nod. "And thus, as decreed, the Magical Unicorns, the Flying Pegasus and the Immortal Alicorns win invincibility!" This bit of news got the three teams cheering excitedly. "Oooh, tough break, Earth Ponies," Chris said to the losing last team in amusement. "Guess I will be seeing you in the Princesses' Throne Room. I hate to be the one to be kicked out of the game right about now." Jo growled in anger before she yelled, "Chris McLean, when I get my hooves on you, I'LL TEAR YOU APART!!!" Discord smirks mischievously as he made a zipper appear on Jo's mouth and zips it. The Spirit remarks, "Zip it! Ha ha ha," This got a laugh out of almost all the players for that joke. "Nice one!" Duncan laughed. "Zoey, here's a reward for helping out Steven." Luna said, using a spell on Zoey's tail. Her tail is grown back. "I believe a pony like you shouldn't go around tail-less." "Thank you so much, Princess Luna!" Zoey exclaimed happily. "We will see you Earth ponies later. Everypony can now go back home." Celestia said with a smile. The elimination ceremony is going to be an interesting one tonight indeed . ------------------------ Dawn was sitting at a table, drinking a soda when Mike came over. She says, "Hey Mike. Did you and Nyx have a good time?" "Yeah, listen, Chris is doing those Invincibility statues again...except this time, there are four and there's one made for each certain member of a certain team." Mike said to Dawn quietly. "Really; did you find yours?" "I found one...but it belongs to the Pegasus team. Can't tell you whom I gave it to; A bit of a secret; look, just make sure that you and your team finds your statue at Fluttershy's Cottage. I will see if me or someone else on my team would find the statue at the Carousel Boutique." --------------- Dawn: Mike was nice enough to tell me about the statues. Of course, I will tell my other team mates. I don't know any nasty ones since the only teams who got them are the Flying Pegasus and the Groundin' Earth Ponies. They may be a problem concerning Duncan and Courtney but that's for another time. -------------- Back at the library, Twilight, Ben, Nyx and the Dragons were fixing the place up with the Pegasus team came back. The Earth pony calls back, "Hey; how was it?" "And where's Jo? Not that I cared." Spike remarks with a frown, noting that Jo is absent...and Staci is in her place. "Well, we got of good news. First off, your princess ordered her to be with the Earth Pony group from now, Staci is in her place." Sam remarks with a smile. "Good!" Twilight exclaims in satisfaction. As long as that bully is out of the library, Nyx is safe. "Also, let's say that the Ground Ponies will be heading to Canterlot...and I got a feeling that someone from that group will be gone by the time they get back." Alejandro said with a secret evil grin. "Why's that?" Spike asks Alejandro curiously. "Don't ask. It will make sense later on.” Heather was watching the team from hiding behind the door to the basement. She smirks while closing the door. ----------- Heather: Obviously, the Earth Ponies group has lost the challenge. And if I'm lucky, it's someone I can't stand like Owen! Ugh. I still can't get his disgusting antics out of my head; or maybe Jo. I'm the only evil girl around here, thank you very much! -------------------- Mike's teams return to the Magical Unicorns. Since he knows that he can trust them, the former MPD told his team about the statue. "Same old Chris, trying to use statues as usual," Courtney said with a sigh, shaking her head a bit. "Cool! Maybe the statue is in here somewhere!" Geoff exclaims, eager to find something that could keep him in the game or not. "First off, Rarity is here." Gwen said to her team, motioning to Rarity who is making dinner. "One of us will look for it later when she isn’t around.” ------------------------------- Trent: It's great to win again after so long! I hate to be the one on the Earth Pony team to get kicked out...but I betcha I know who it is going. ------------------- Zoey: Mike already gave a Flying Pegasus member their statue though he won't tell us who it is. He already told Dawn and us. I think he decided not to let the Groundin' Earth Ponies found out. (Smirks) Can't let those cheaters Scott, Lighting and Jo find that statue first. ---------------- The Groundin' Earth Ponies came back to Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack is satisfied when they told her that Staci is now living at the library with Jo in her place. Of course, they didn't mention anything about the challenge or what Jo did to avoid trouble...though AJ is not happy with what she did to Nyx. The non-cheaters did some talking with each other. Lindsay says, "It's tough to say who the princesses will get rid of." "I say it's Jo. She tries to kill the other teams or cheat big time." Eva remarks with a grunt. "Yeah, the mare is wicked, eh?" Ezekiel asks, shaking his head. "She even called me out for an accident." "Yeah! I may be a bully but at least I got my own limits!" "You almost freaked out when Heather stole your radio thing as well as when you came back." Owen reminds Eva of her performance in the first season. "I got reasons! Jo's frigging nuts!" Eva snaps to Owen in annoyance. "I say if we're lucky, the princesses will get rid of her...or maybe Scott." Brick said with a frown, recalling Scott's evil actions in Season 4. ------------ Brick: Those soldiers need some discipline! They will get what's coming to them, if all of them were still here or no! ------------------------ Lightning: Ha! Lightning is staying in. Lightning is awesome! ---------------------- It is now time. The Groundin' Earth Ponies were leaving. Applejack was relaxing, when she spots them. The mare asks, "Where are y'all going off 'ta?" "To Canterlot; One of us is about to be...reassigned." Scott said with a nod, keeping the true reason a secret. Applejack nods. She glances at the team leaving...then bucks some apples right at Jo, making her yelp in pain. She glares at the Earth Pony who whistles innocently. And that one was for the road! ----------------------------- It took a long train ride to Canterlot but the team has arrived. The Groundin' Earth Ponies heads to the castle where the Royal Guards led them to the throne room. Chris and Discord are waiting for them with the host holding a tray of cupcakes. "The team," Flash Sentry comments as he leads the team inside. The Pegasus knows of Chris's presence but was asked by the princesses to keep him a secret. He then leads the team to their fate. "Okay. It's time now for the second elimination, or first, whatever. Now then, the princesses has checked all the video footage so far and made their decision." Chris said while holding up the tray. "Now then, this time, there will be cupcakes. You know the drill. When you are given a cupcake, you will be allowed to resume your game. If there's no cupcake for you, your game is over and you do not come back...EVER." "Indeed . Now, time we turn things over to Tia and Loony." Discord chuckles a bit. Celestia and Luna came in through another door before stopping near Chris. "Ahem, we have checked the footage and made our decision." Celestia said sternly while Luna uses magic to make the choice list float up. "When we call your name, come and pick up your cupcake." The ponies/team players wait anxiously to see who is safe and who is not. Luna spoke, "Lindsay." Lindsay smiles as she comes forward and takes a cupcake from Chris, chowing down on it. "Owen." "Yeah," Owen laughs as he came over and grabs his cupcake, swallowing it, wrapper and all. "Brick," Celestia calls out the name. Brick nods as he came over to get his own cupcake. Only five team players left, "Ezekiel." "Wait, really? Oh right, eh!" Ezekiel laughs as he gallops over, grabbing his own cupcake. "For once, I wasn't eliminated first!" "Yeah...what a surprise," Chris remarks dryly, hiding his disappointment. He wanted Ezekiel to be gone early just like in Seasons 1 and 3. Only four team players left. Celestia pause a bit as she spoke, "Justin." The handsome stallion grins as he came over to get his own cupcake. "Eva." "Good." Eva remarked, nodding as she came over to get her own cupcake from Chris. Now that leaves only the troublemakers. "Lightning," Luna announces. Lightning grins as he gallops and grabs the second to last cupcake. "Okay. 1 more cupcake left; Scott; got to say, you lead your team badly and did some major damages." Chris said sternly to Scott who looks a bit worried, "Jo; harassing a little filly, getting on her parents and grandmother's bad side; not a cool idea." "Normally we will eliminate you both but since we can only eliminate 1 player from this team and we did a elimination already, we must take out only one of you." Luna said sternly, making Scott and Jo frowns. "The final cupcake of the night goes to..." A pause as the team players waits anxiously to see who gets the final cupcake and who gets eliminated. Celestia pause a bit...and then... "Scott." Celestia said, making the final choice. Scott laughs eagerly as he got up and gallops over, grabbing his final cupcake. Jo groans angrily, "Ugh! You got to be kidding me! Bad enough I was kicked out after Lightning the last season. Now I was early this time?!" "You made your grave when you made threats in the confessionals and try to sabotage the game. Now sleep in it." "Fine! So how are ya going to send me off this time, McClean; Dock; Catapult; the big toilet?" "Actually no; we got something even more fun for us called the 'Suck-O-Gone'." Chris said with a mischievous smile as Discord appears behind Jo. "My buddy Discord will demonstrate." Discord smirks as he snaps his fingers, making a big black hole appear. Jo yelps as she tries to fly against the vacuum trying to suck her in. "I'll make YOU sleep in it when I get that black brat and make a barbecue out of her for that mutant shark!" Jo yelled in rage. Celestia and Luna's magic then swirled on Jo... as she changed back to her human form. The Goddess of the Sun exclaims sternly, "You will never again harass my family!" The Alicorn fires a blast at Jo, sending her right into the black hole and out of sight. "That really sucks." Discord laughs a bit as he made the black hole disappear. The remaining players of the Groundin' Earth Ponies shudder a bit, making a point to never tick off Celestia like that. "Oh yes and Chris almost forgot." Scott yelps as Chris throws a familiar boot at him, making yelp. Luna comments, "Chris was going to give that to Jo earlier but he forgot. So you gotta wear that all day in her place tomorrow." Scott groans as he reluctantly put the boot onto one of his hooves. Chris smiles to the camera as he speaks, "And thus, another elimination has been done! With 38 players still remaining, which team players will face the wrath of the princesses? What other secrets are in store? And will Scott ever smell the same? Find out as we continue our game of..." As he speaks the final lines, the camera goes away from him before ending outside of Canterlot. "Total...Drama...Equestria!!!" --------------- We see clips of the next episode... An announcer's voice is heard, "On the next Total Drama Equestria, some players are hunting for statues, while the others...get into a bit of mischief. What's deal with those hidden pages? And what kind of crazy challenge is Chris pulling on them now? Find out next time on the next episode of Total Drama Equestria. Don't miss it!"
