//------------------------------// // Episode Twelve: Call of the Dreams // 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, when yours truly found out about Ben's new ability to dig for treasure, I decided to hold a little digging challenge, keeping the princesses out of it. And while most of Ponyville are treasure hunting, thanks to a little help from my new pal Discord, the Mane Six decided to try to stop me from 'killing the remaining players'. And I got a good parody there but unfortunately, those dumb players ruined it! Ugh! Things get a bit crazy when Scott found my little whistle which causes the animals to go nuts and attack everypony. And it gets more crazy when the hunting challenge is interrupted by our old player the Sasquatch who made friends with the local filly Apple Bloom. Then, after the Magical Unicorns and the Groundin' Earth ponies, and while yours truly got...well..."embrace his inner woman", Scott decided to add two more victims to his list of casualties, bringing back the return of Dakotazoid and revealing that Josh has been showing private moments of the players since Season 1 for his internet show. Buh-bye! Unfortunately, things got a bit tricky. The Mane Six and their friends put a wall around Ponyville and trapped the players in in an attempt to keep me out. Come to think about it, I'm guessing the murderer bit was a bit too far... Luna: (sarcastically) You think? Back at the castle, Chris spoke to the camera, "But even though Celestia is heading for bed for the night, we got other players to play our players. Will we succeed in our little fun? Will the Mane Six snap out of it? And what secrets will be revealed? Find out in this dreaming episode of a show we like to call..." As Chris finishes things off, we pan away from the scene, stopping at the castle. "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 Twelve: Call of the Dreams It was still nighttime in Ponyville...which now has a big wall thanks to the girls' paranoid state brought thanks to Chris trying to mess with their heads...and trust me, folks, it backfired with a big result. "This is insane." Gwen groans, trying to make her magic work. "I can't believe our friends would do this." "Awww, who cares? They didn't do a thing to us Earth Ponies." Scott said, pointing out that Twilight didn't do squat to the Earth Ponies. "Gotta agree with Scott, eh," Ezekiel said in agreement, much to the others' surprise. "I say we tackle those girls and force Miss Sparkle to end the madness, eh." "She's an Alicorn, Zeke." Bridgette reminds Ezekiel in concern, "With magic powers." "Who've gone mad with power! No one takes my tail flying ability away, no one!" Heather exclaims furiously as she stomps off. The others look worried. ---------------------- Sam: This sucks! First Dakota got kicked out, now we're trapped in here! Okay, I admit, this means we don't have to play Chris's game...but even I got to admit, Twilight has gone off her nutso! ---------------------- Ezekiel: I prefer not to be a big time prisoner again, eh. Those chicks are going down! --------------------------- The Mane Six and Ben didn't go too far as the TD players quickly catch up to them. Heather angrily snaps, "Now you listen here, you paranoid idiotic whores!" The Mane Six and Ben were stunned to hear that. "You will listen and listen good. We are not hostages and we aren't going to be prisoners in this hellhole!" "Oh come on! The evidence is clear!" Rainbow exclaims to her pals with a frown. "The 'evidence' is a lie!" Trent exclaims furiously to Rainbow. "Chris did not murder your friends and neither were our friends who were eliminated!" "Yeah, we ain't even what you think we are, eh!" Ezekiel exclaims quickly. "What 'de hay does 'dat mean?" Applejack asks suspiciously. Before Ezekiel could reveal the truth, Cody quickly covers his mouth, saying, "Nothing! What we're saying is that we're not hostages and there's no reason to block Ponyville off from Equestria as if we're in Germany!" "Oh, I get what's going on!" Pinkie exclaims. For a moment, the players thought that she believed them, until... "They spent so much time not fighting Chris that they're practically gone loopy in thinking that they're okay!" "Oh, you're the loopy one!" Sam exclaims in annoyance to Pinkie. "Look, you don't have to pretend anymore." Ben said trying to reason with 'the crazy players'. "We're here..." "Oh shut your damn mouth, you frigging Gary-Sue!" Scott exclaims furiously as he kicks Ben right in the face, sending him right into a wall. "Hey! What the hay," Twilight exclaims furiously to Scott. "We're trying to help and..." "Shut up! Give us our magic and flying abilities back, end this madness or we will go medieval on your asses!" Heather exclaims as she quickly punch a hoof right in Twilight's face. Most of the gang quickly join in in attacking the rest of the gang, starting a melee. ----------- Leshawna: Okay, Heather went a bit too far...but on the plus side, she got the right idea. ------------------------------- Sierra: We were close to winning...unfortunately, the princess and her loved one end it and well.... ----------- The TD players yelps as they got thrown into a one-room building after losing the fight. Rarity outside called out, "Clearly you need to be locked up until you calm down and stop being crazy." "Sorry but it's your own good." Twilight apologizes as she locks the door. "Hopefully you won't go crazy in the morning again." After that, the Mane Six and Ben left. Harold remarks sarcastically, "Well, that went well!" "Eh, I managed to break the Gary Sue's teeth in anyhow." Scott remarks with a shrug, thinking he got some progress. "No worries! In the morning, Celestia can come and save us!" Lindsay exclaims, seeing the bright side of this. "Yeah, and those crazy ponies would think that she's a robot!" Tyler reminds his girl with a groan. "Why the hell didn't we tell our friends sooner?" "Well, it was a good idea while it lasted, Heather." Gwen said to Heather with a sigh. "Nice try." "Come on. We may as well get some sleep." Heather groans in temporarily defeat. "We can't do anything tonight anyhow." The rest of the gang were forced to agree. They decided to find a place to sleep for the night since they will be locked up for now. -------------- Back in the room, Chris, Chef and Discord watch on. The big guy remarks, "Geez; that was nasty. Makes me wish I was part of that action!" "Yeeeah, brutal," Chris remarks with a light chuckle. "That could be good for the ratings." "Damn it, Chris! Does rating mean everything to you?! Ponies are trapped while the heroes are the bad guys this time." "And your point?" "Discord, can't you go over there and talk some sense into your pals?" Chef asks Discord with a frown, trying to at least get some sanity, so to speak. "Well, except for Fluttershy, the Mane Six, Ben and I aren't actually 'best friends'." Discord explains, giving out quotable marks on the last part, "Besides, two things. 1, it would ruin the game and 2, I think Twilight Sparkle is blocking me with her magic somehow." Luna, glancing at the monitors, said, "They are about to sleep. The challenge will begin and hopefully we will find a way to straighten the insanity." --------------- Luna: It was a crazy idea to pretend that Tia and I are dead and for us being robots. Ugh! When this is over, Chris is gonna pay. -------------- "Okay, stand right there." Luna said as she stood her stance. Chris, Chef, and Discord nodded as Luna's horn started to glow. All of a sudden, a portal appeared behind Chris, Chef and Discord, all three of them yelping as they got sucked in, with the equipment meant to watch the contestants going along for the ride. Luna nodded as she then teleported. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (IN THE REALM OF DREAMS) It was a very, very long hallway full of doors, each labeled with a different name... leading in that hallway, was a lounge room that had hallways that lead to other rooms, each with a different label. From that lounge room, there were five hallways... one labeled 'Dreams from All Alternative worlds'; one labeled 'Nightmares from All Alternative worlds', one labeled 'Memory Dreams/Nightmares from All Alternative worlds', one labeled 'Erotic Dreams from All Alternative worlds' and the last one was labeled, 'Weird Psychedelic Dreams from All Alternative worlds'. It seemed like a nice quiet place... All of a sudden, by magic, Chris, Chef, Discord, and their equipment appeared right in the lounge room. "Whoa, what, where, when, why, how, who, what?" Chris said, looking around. "Look!" Discord said, pointing to the monitors. They turned to see that all the cameras in the real world weren't working... all but one, which was focusing on the room the Total Drama gang were sleeping in. "What happened to our monitors?" Chris said, trying to move it. "We won't need to see the real world monitors on this one." Luna said as she teleported next to them. "All we need... are the dreams." Luna then used magic on the monitors as new pictures were starting to show. Chris, Chef and Discord were amazed at the number of dreams that were being shown throughout the monitoring progress. "Wow..." Chris then looked up at the monitor from the left, even though we can only see Chris's face, he seemed intrigued. "Oh, so that's what Heather's boyfriend looks like. This is incredible!" "And that's enough imagery!" Luna said before the camera could turn toward to where Heather's dream was... which was now replaced with Gwen's dream, as she was seen brushing her hair, as if preparing for a date. "Boy, I hope Alejandro just saw this! If he missed out on this, he'd freak out!" Chris laughed as he looked at the camera. "Well, if he didn't, I'm sure he'd be paranoid!" Discord said. "Oh, hey, look!" The hosts gathered at the monitor to point out a very peculiar dream... which consisted of Discord happily dancing around like a hillbilly, using Alejandro as a guitar. Chris got weird out. "That is a weird dream!" "I know!" Discord laughed. "I always used Celestia as a guitar in my dream!" "You what," Luna frowned. "Anyway, never mind the good, erotic and... drug induced dreams for now. We're just here to focus on the nightmares and the memory dreams/nightmares for the players... and maybe some from the Mane Six and the others around town too. I'll even get some of the villains' dreams involved, just for dramatic effect! I'll prepare the maze, and you guys go ahead and try to get the others out of their dreams." "You got it!" Chris nodded as Luna started to focus her magic on the nightmares and memory dreams/nightmares hallways as most of the doors were coming off and another hallway appeared, which was labeled 'The Maze for the Contestants'. She nodded as she started to put in all the doors and set up the maze. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meanwhile, back in the real world, the Shadow Dragon, who was preparing to go to bed, stopped in having an odd feeling. For some reason, he felt like something was missing. The Shadow Dragon felt a bit weird as he started rubbing his mind... it's as if his memory was taken off of him for the moment. He decided to go take a walk to clear his mind. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In Lindsay's Dream) Lindsay, in her human form, was so excited as she was happily skipping through a field of flowers, humming what Disney fans would recognize as 'In Summer' from Frozen. "Oh, what a wonderful day," Lindsay giggled as she laid down on the field of flowers. "I have so many great friends, and a great life! What could possibly be any more great!" "Mew, mew!" Lindsay looked up as she saw three kittens batting a few of the flowers. Lindsay squeed in delight as she watched the kittens roll around, "Aw, aren't you so cute!" Lindsay then held one hand in front of her as one of the kittens grabbed it, mewing as Lindsay giggled. Lindsay then got up as she took one of the kittens in her arms, petting it. "Oh, I can't wait to show you to Daddy!" Lindsay then giggled as she started to skip off... when all of a sudden, she tripped on a rock. She yelped as she dropped the kitten and fell right into a portal that appeared out of nowhere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In the Realm of Dreams) Lindsay yelped as the door opened and she fell out. Lindsay blinked and looked around. "Huh? Where am I?" Lindsay then got up as she looked around at the hallway... and noticing the names on there. "Gwen, Leshawna, Tyler? What is this?" As soon as she asked this, the doors to Gwen, Leshawna and Tyler's dreams opened as each of them fell out. "Hey, what's going on here?" Gwen said, rubbing her head. "Here I was, having a nice time with Trent... and then I get here... where is here?" "I should ask you that..." Leshawna said as Lindsay walked over to Tyler. "Tyler, are you all right?" Lindsay asked. "Lindsay, is that you?" Tyler asked as he looked up. "Hi, Tyler," Lindsay giggled. "It is you; And...you turned back to a human..." Tyler said in shock. "What's going on?" Gwen said in confusion. "Where are we? Am I still dreaming?" "Will all the remaining players please come over to the center of the hallway?" Chris called. Lindsay screamed, "AHHH! Chris is in here! We're in a nightmare!" "Well, whatever this is, we're finding out!" Gwen said as she got up. "Come on!" The four nodded as they started to walk towards the center... By that time, they all saw that every one of the remaining players were there, all human and in their regular outfits (except for Heather, who was glaring as she was holding up a curtain to cover her body up), as they were glaring at Chris, Chef and Discord. "Don't we get ENOUGH of you during the day?" Noah frowned as he glared at Chris. "Look, I know this seems bad, and I'm sorry we dragged you out of your nice dreams, but we have another challenge coming up!" Chris smiled. "Can it wait until morning?" Katie frowned. "No, we need to do this challenge now." Luna said as she joined the others, "Because we may not get another chance later on." "Luna, what is wrong with Twilight and her friends; why did they build a wall, and most importantly... WHAT DID CHRIS DO????" Leshawna yelled the last one. Everyone mumbled in agreement. Luna sighed. "I'm sorry. Apparently SOMEBODY decided it would be a good idea to play a joke on your friends, and they took it TOO seriously. Don't worry; we will try to fix this. But until then, just hang tight." "Well, if nobody has any questions... shall we get to our next challenge?" Chris smirked. Heather, hearing this, just frowned. "No. Good-bye. I think MOST of us want to head back to our own dreams, thank you!" Heather then turned around as she started walking towards the hallway. Gwen looked up. "Uh, Heather, you're walking towards an 'Erotic Dream' hallway." "What door did you think I came out of?" Heather frowned as she started to head for the hallway. Everyone's eyes widened as they now realized that explained why Heather was covering herself with a curtain. "Well, not all of you came from the good dreams hallway!" Chef Hatchet said. "Izzy and Dawn came from the weird dream hallway!" "And what a party it was!" Izzy laughed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Izzy: Wait, do confessionals here count if they're in dreams; must be... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Right; Good-bye." Heather said as she started to walk back towards the hallway... When all of a sudden, the doors that led to the good dream hallway, the erotic dream hallway and the weird psychedelic dream hallway closed up; Luna then locked all the doors using her horn. "HEY!" Heather yelled as she turned towards Luna. "Sorry, Heather. But we need all players to play." Luna said. "I promise once you're done, you'll go back to your dreams." "All right," Heather nodded as she went towards Luna. Chris's eyes then widened. "What? You won't listen to me, but you'll listen to HER?" Everyone nodded as Heather said, "Well, yes." Heather then turned to Luna, "Say, since this is a dream realm, does this mean I can get my clothes back?" "Yes." Luna nodded. "Great!" Heather said as she closed her eyes... then she was back in her regular outfit. Heather sighed, "Much better." "No, back to me! Why would you rather listen to Luna than to me?" Chris said. "Well... let me put it this way, Chris." Gwen said as all of a sudden a stage appeared behind her. The Total Drama cast then got up to the stage to sing. (To the tune of 'Mah Mah, Bah Bah' from 'American Dad') (Dawn) McClean, Hatchet, Invading our dreams uninvited, Incoming anger has rectified, Heather then glared at Chris and Chef as she yelled; (Heather) Leave us alone, LEAVE US ALONE! Tyler and Lindsay smiled as they got up on the stage and pulled out a picture of Discord, Celestia and Luna. (Tyler) McClean, Hatchet, No one likes them! (Lindsay) Discord is a better host, He doesn't boast! And we'll never roast... (Trent) Sun and Moon! (Katie) They're the co-hosts of our dreams! Royal horses that are way too nice They should host us, Put Chris on the bus! Sadie giggled as she joined in, Chris and Chef just glaring, with Discord dancing along. (Sadie) Sun and Moon, Raising up our middle fingers As Chris and Chef goes and lingers, As we celebrate alicorns ruling our game! The people then did a dance break as Scott took the next verse. (Scott) Robots and horns; Boundaries, they don't give a damn; Tricked us by their stupid scam; Heather groaned, remembering the reason why they were playing the game in the first place was because of Chris's car trick. (Heather) We're so stupid; WE'RE SO STUPID! Now clouds appeared as the cast jumped in them and started drinking soda, as Eva jumped in a pool that appeared nearby. (Eva) Sun and Moon Now we're swimming in the clouds; We're flying and drinking Coke; We're now going out for a soak! Sierra smiled as she backed towards Luna. (Sierra) We can't wait to see Chris fired; And the alicorns are hired; Everyone laughed as Cody smiled, "Yeah!" (Cody) Screw the past! This is our new home world now! (Beth) And this competition is back to normal! (Izzy) Let’s pray Chris is gone, for he's informal! The song ended as the Total Drama gang laughed. Chris and Chef were not amused. Chris rolled his eyes. "Ha ha..." "Anyway, this is going to be an individual challenge, and most of you are allowed to work together, but only one person from each team will win Invincibility." Luna said. "Basically, this is a maze of your nightmares and memories combined!" "Wait... memory dreams... combined with our nightmares?" Sadie said in surprise. "Along with some of other peoples' nightmares and memories that I took, the point of this maze is to make it out by solving the mysteries... and conquering your worst nightmares/memories that you have had to experience, help from your friends is allowed. After four of you win Invincibility, we will hold our elimination ceremony here in the Dream World then we'll teleport the sleeping people out of the room you're in to the Suck-O-Gone." Luna explained. "Yeah, how are we going to explain that two people suddenly disappeared from the tower in the next morning?" Heather frowned. "We'll cross that bridge when we get there." Luna said. "Anyway, you are allowed to work together, and don't worry, we will keep an eye using the monitors!" "All right," Everyone nodded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Trent: So it's time to do a little maze exploring/conquer our fears/see what the others fear/what memories that us and all the ponies we've met/haven't met. Looks like a piece of cake! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tyler: Oh God, if the chicken thing comes up, I'll crack! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn: Find the key, we'll find our way; Simple. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ezekiel: (shudders) the worst they can do is that Gollum freak... and me actually meeting that thing! (Gulps) I don't know if I'm ready! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Keep in mind, not all the places you go through in this maze are your fears and memories. There are other ponies' memories and nightmares installed in there too..." Luna said. Chris nodded. "Okay, on my count... all of you enter the door and go right in to start. Ready?" Everyone nodded as they got near the door to the maze. "Ready... go!" Chris said as all twenty two players opened the door and ran right in. Pretty soon, attention was focused on the monitors as Luna nodded. "All right, while they're busy..." Luna then smirked as she summoned a familiar door that said 'Celestia's...' that was all that was written in gold letters, but there was a huge note that said 'KEEP OUT, LUNA, FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!'. Discord and Chris turned in interest as Discord asked, "What, may I ask, is this?" "This is a door that leads to either Celestia's nightmare or memory. I don't know which one, that note is stuck tight." Luna sighed. "And even by alicorn magic, I can't open it..." "Oh, I see. That's why you wanted to have the challenge in this Dream Realm. You want to figure out what's behind that door!" Discord smirked. "Yes, I have a feeling my sister is in there, having some sort of bad nightmare or memory, but I don't know what it is!" Luna said. "Chill-lax, we'll help you out!" Chris smiled. "I'm an expert when it comes to these types of doors!" "You can really do this?" Luna asked, smiling. "Sure!" Chris smiled. "Unlocking doors is what I do best!" "Count me in!" Discord said. "I want to see what Celestia's nightmare or memory is like!" "Chef, you're in charge of watching the players while we figure this door out!" Chris said as he and Discord went over to Luna. "You got it!" Chef saluted as he turned towards the monitors. Little did he or anybody else know that in the middle of the maze, something evil was lurking inside... the evils of Shadow Dragon/Grimmore's presence... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The twenty two players then entered the maze... and the first room they were in looked like a mansion as they looked around. "What is this place?" Tyler asked as he looked around. "I recognize this place!" Lindsay gasped. "This is my mansion!" "You live in a mansion?" Heather said, eyes widening. "You're LOADED???" "Well, yes." Lindsay rolled her eyes. "Why is that surprising. I was the spoiled girl." "Well, what was so nightmarish about a mansion, Lindsay?" Leshawna asked. "Yeah, I'm not seeing anything! I'm going back to the entrance!" Noah said as he started to turn around. "Noah, no! Don't open that door!" Lindsay said, yelping. "Why?" Heather asked in confusion as she went over the door. "It just leads us back to the hallway that..." Heather then screamed as she saw a huge zombie like dog growling and poking its head at the door. "I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK!" Heather then slammed the door as she gasped. "What the hell was that?" "My nightmares..." Lindsay shuddered. Noah yelped as he ran to the side. "You're afraid of zombie dogs?" Sam said in shock. "Sounds like Resident Evil..." "Zombies in general," Lindsay shuddered. "We need to find some clue and fast to get to the next level!" Everyone nodded as they went their separate ways to go to work. ------------------ In a random room in the mansion, Trent and Sam looked around for some clues. "So Sam, feel sad for Dakota?" Trent asked Sam curiously. "Yeah; when we first met, she wouldn't give me the time of day...but after a while, we click." Sam remarked with a chuckle, "So how about you and Gwen?" "Oh, we kinda click since day 1...but things got bad, especially with Heather getting me eliminated and my stupid idea of throwing challenges for Gwen." Trent explains to Sam with a sigh. "Perhaps I should've trust Gwen more back then." "As they say in the game 'Innocent until Proven Guilty', so if you would just allow your girl some more trust, perhaps that relationship would've stayed longer." Sam explains to his partner clearly. "Maybe you're right." Trent said, "I really miss being Gwen's boyfriend, to be honest. It's just not the same when we're just friends." Sam opens a door...and more zombie dogs appear, growling. "Yikes, wrong door!" Trent exclaims frantically. "Hey, I play zombie video games and I know what to do." Sam said calmly...then he made a gun appear and shot at a zombie, killing it. "I'm Resident Evil, bitch!" "How did you make that gun appear?" Trent asked Sam in surprise. "We are in a dream, right? So let's make the impossible possible!" Sam laughs as he shots more of the dreams, getting rid of each one in his way. Trent grinned with confidence and bravery growing into him as he said, "Yeah, I like that idea a lot! In fact, I have a couple favorite zombie-shooting video games myself, like DOOM and CarnEvil! So..." Then, a golden machine gun appeared in Trent's hands. "...time to give these zombies an array of INFINITE BULLETS!!!" Then he began shooting at the zombies with the machine gun that has infinite golden bullets. In another room, Sadie and Eva are running to dodge more zombies. "Okay! If these guys wanna fight, we got them one!" Eva grunts as she made herself appears in a Samus Aran like suit before firing like mad. "Eat beams, freaks!" "Wow! Nice one!" Sadie giggles as she and Eva run and charge through the zombies like mad. In the upstairs room, Lindsay/Tyler looks around for a clue. "Okay, just a dream, nothing to worry about, right?" Lindsay asked Tyler nervously. "Not sure, babe; Hey, check this out." Tyler said, seeing some sort of painting on a wall. "It's a painting of the mansion...and there's an inscription." "'Press the Moon, Stupid'." Lindsay said, reading the inscription. "Hmmm, I wonder what it means." "Let's find out." Tyler said. Lindsay pressed the moon.... then suddenly, a slide of the mansion opens up. She, Tyler and the living players yelp as they slide out of the mansion, sliding right out of the first room and into the next. "Wow; that was fun!" Lindsay giggles as she got up. "Let's do it again!" ------------------- Brick: We were fighting those zombies and got slide out of the mansion. What the hay just happened? -------------------- "I think we're in another room now, eh." Ezekiel said as everyone stood up...on their four legs. "Hey! We're ponies again." "Must be in a room that requires it," Bridgette said with a sigh, "But what about the clue?" "Maybe it's because Lindsay press the moon which said 'Press the Moon, Stupid'." Tyler explains to the others with a shrug. "Well, she found the clue." Katie said with a smile. "That means we passed the first room." "Yes, but whatever or not one of us won invincibility is yet to be determined." Noah explains in his usual dry tone of voice. -------------- Lindsay: Okay, zombies still creep me back but I betcha I won...right? --------------- "So what room are we in now?" Sadie asked curiously. "Please...no...please don't..." A familiar voice spoke up. "That sounded like Twilight." Beth said in concern. "I think this is her nightmare! We should help." "After she and her insane pals imprisoned us?" Heather asked Beth in annoyance. "She thought she was doing the right thing." Beth points out to Heather, reminding her that Twilight only acted like she did out of concern. ---------------------- Heather: (frowns) Somehow, I hate it when Beth makes sense like that. ----------------------- Harold: When we came to see what Twilight's nightmare is... ---------------- The players goes over just in time to see a shocking sight: there's Twilight chained and forced to watch a nightmarish version of Chris laughing as he is torturing the rest of the Mane Six and the TD players (nightmarish version). "Shame, shame, little princess," Nightmare Chris taunts Twilight who shivers. "You should've stopped me when I first came in town...and now! I'm killing everyone you know like I did your princesses!" "Of course," B remarks dryly. What other nightmare would Twilight have right now? "This is a new low, even for Chris." Dawn said angrily. "But this isn't Chris and he didn't murder anyone, right?" Lindsay pointed out puzzled. "So what's your point?" Heather asked Lindsay, giving her an obvious look. "The point is, if we help Twilight with this nightmare and convince her that everything Chris did is a trick, it could convince her and all the ponies how wrong they were about this madness." Lindsay explained. "Okay, fine." Heather said with a groan. She then realizes something. "Well, since this is a dream, we could kick some butt." "Right! I always wanted to do this to Chris for a long time!" Gwen exclaims as she transforms. Nightmare Chris laughs as he prepares to grab Twilight, remarking, "Time to meet your nightmare!" Suddenly, a click is heard. The nightmare version of Chris turns and saw Gwen, dressed like a Lara Croft, pointing a shotgun at him. She snarls, "Hey, Chris...drama this!" Then Gwen fired a shot at Nightmare Chris, who screamed as he got knocked away from Twilight. As Gwen fires some more shots at her enemy so far, the others rush over to the mare. "It's you guys!" Twilight gasps upon seeing her friends/prisoners. "But you're over there and..." "Twilight, Twilight, listen, this is only a dream." Noah explains calmly to Twilight. "None of this is real..." "Well, except for us kicking butt but who's counting?" Izzy laughs madly, making the others roll their eyes at this. "I'm scared...everyone is going to be taken away from me thanks to Chris." Twilight said, trembling in fear and worry. "The princesses are gone...so are your friends..." "Well, I don't know if you'll believe me...and I ain't a liar like Staci was!" Sierra remarks with a chuckle. "But I do know this: your princesses and our friends aren't dead." "They were never dead in the first place." Trent said. "What? But the clues I saw...the letters..." Twilight said in concern. "Chris was playing a joke to mess with your head." Leshawna explains dryly to Twilight. "We should know, he likes to do that." "Whatever or not you believe us, it's up to you. But what we speak is the truth." Sadie said with a smile to Twilight, calming her down a bit, "When you wake up in the morning, we know that something that looks like the princesses will come to deal with Ponyville behind a wall." "You should at least give them a chance to prove that they are the real deal." Katie said in agreement with her own best friend. "You will find that you, Ben and your friends were wrong all along." "Why, the Celestia and Luna you saw aren't even robots at all, they are real all along, alive and well." Bridgette said with a smile. "But why are they acting like robots then?" Twilight asked confused. "Chris." Most of the gang explains bitterly. "Oh, that could explain...wait! Why is he asking them to pretend to be robots? What is really going on here?" Twilight asked her friends in worry. "Look, in due time, you will find out the truth." Dawn said gently to Twilight. "Until then, calm down...and put a stop to this madness you started. It will take time but all will make sense...or what make sense in Equestria anyway." "Just remember, Twilight, this craziness is all Chris's fault." B said in a calm and gentle, yet serious tone. "Huh. I supposed it does." Twilight said in concern yet calmed down. "Pinkie Promise that you will give the princesses a chance later, Pinkie Promise!" Izzy exclaims with a stern look to the mare. "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Twilight said as she did the Pinkie Promise. "Good!" Izzy said happily. ---------------------- Scott: Being the villain, I could give Twilight an even more horrifying nightmare, (smirks evilly) probably enough to leave some scars, just like my favorite horror movie monster. (pauses, then smiles normally as he shrugs) But why spoil it when Chris will get what's coming to him soon? -------------- Gwen came over, her gun a smoking, she remarks, "Okay, I'm satisfied." "Ouch! Chris looks bad." Harold remarked, seeing the remains of Chris. "He looks like something from a Creepypasta fic!" "Anyone for cupcakes," Izzy asked with a creepy smile, holding a plate of cupcakes, making the others screams. "What? They're chocolate!" "Girl, you crazy," Leshawna sighs as she and her pals prepare to leave. "Oh wait. I want to do something to give Twilight's dream a happy ending." Cody said with a mischievous smirk. "Like what?" Sam asked Cody, pondering what his pal has in mind. Cody dreams up...Celestia who appears near Twilight, much to her surprise. The stallion said, "Hey, look. there's Celestia. And look! Twilight's happy!" Twilight smiles...then she and Celestia grabs each other and French ksis each other, much to the shock of the others. "What the hell," Bridgette asked in shock and surprise. "Oh yeah, kissing, working it up; Yeah, cranking," Cody exclaims with a mad laugh as Twilight and Celestia goes at it. "You really are a little pervert, are you?" Gwen asked Cody in annoyance. "Yep," Cody replied proudly. -------------- Sierra: Cody doing that is sickening and freaky... (smiles) And that's what I love about him! ------------ The room begins to shake, making the group yelp. "Attention. Twilight is about to wake up. Please leave room at once!" Luna's voice is heard booming. The group didn't waste time as they open the door and leave through the next door. ------------ Twilight gasps as she woke up in her bedroom, sweating a bit. She sees Ben, Nyx, Spike and Phobos still sleeping. The Alicorn sighs as she got out of bed and look out a window, mumbling, "That dream...is Staci right? Am I really…Bi? Or was it because I missed Celestia; Still...that Pinkie Promise... --------------------- "Whoooooa, Cody!" Chris exclaims, impressed as he looks at the monitors. "Talk about a 'mane' kissing!" "Yeah, you would like that." Chef remark, rolling her eyes a bit. "Okay, back to work you peeping toms!" Luna snaps at the two in annoyance. "Aww, you're jealous because you didn't get to kiss Twilight or Celestia." Chris teases a bit. "Don't make me give YOU a nightmare!" Luna shouted threateningly. --------------- The group, back to normal, enters some sort of office meeting room. "So whose nightmare is this?" Heather asked suspiciously. "Oh, crap! I think it's mine!" Izzy exclaims worried. "It's related to business companies!" "How so," Sierra asked puzzled. Suddenly big guys in suits appear at the table. One of them smirks while saying, "Oh! I got an idea! Let's change the goofy one's name and keep her from talking because she's offending disabled people!" "No way. Let's suck all the echidnas in another dimension then kill them off because we don't want to deal with a hack writer!" Another man in a suit laughs a bit. "AAAAAAAAHHHH," The players scream in alarm. -------------------- Izzy: (panicked) in the real world, there's nothing more scary than bad executive decisions! --------------------- "Oh, I know! Let's break up a Goth girl from the cool guy then pair her with the Goth boy and break up a friendship with the control freak one, then break the second pairing up, before ruining the friendship again!" The third man in the suit suggests. "Oh, you had to bring that up!" Gwen groans a bit. "And, and...let's have a crab torment a little guy with a fear of whales enough to make him try to kill himself!" A fourth man in a suit suggests eagerly. "The fans would love it in a show with a sponge!" "Oh, make it stop!" Brick exclaims frantically. "Oh, hearing bad decisions!" B groans. "What were these people thinking?!" "Izzy, this is your dream, do something!" Bridgette exclaims to Izzy. "How; these bad decisions are driving me nuts!" Izzy exclaims frantically. "No, wait, I'm already nuts. They're driving me SANE!" "Oh! Another idea," A fifth man in a suit said thoughtfully. "We will make a genie movie with Shaq!" "NOT THAT! ANYTHING BUT THAT," Heather cried in despair. "Izzy, there's a way to stop these guys!" Harold exclaims quickly. "Counter bad decisions with a good one!" "Yeah, do so before we go mad like you are!" Beth exclaims frantically. Izzy pauses, trying to do some thinking. Then she smiles, getting an idea. "I got an decision! How about a fan-fiction story of an unicorn finding a little filly in the woods who is a nightmare version of a princess, then goes through trials, misery, and determination to make her good again, and the filly become the unicorn's daughter?" Izzy suggests eagerly. The men stop talking, looking speechless. Then they disappear, along with a table showing a door on the other side. "Wow, it work," Trent said impressed. "Nice work, Izzy." Lindsay said to Izzy happily. "Come on, let's get out of this place." Scott remarks as the group goes through the next room. ----------------------------- Izzy: Wow! Who knew that I could come up with a neat idea?! I sure don't! Loopy! -------------------------- In another room, the cast looks around to see whose nightmare is this. "Gwen, what nightmare is this?" Trent asks puzzled. But to his surprise, she didn't answer. "Gwen?" "Uh oh; look." Dawn said as she points and saw Gwen...trapped in a glass box, freaking out. "Help me! Help me! I can't stand it!" Gwen exclaims frantically. The others knew what this mean: the Goth girl is forced to face her fear of closed spaces once more. "Oh man, Gwen is trapped in a glass box." Bridgette remarks in concern. How could this get worst? "You're a slut, you know that! A slut," A familiar voice snaps as Courtney appears, much to the confusion of the others. "Courtney?" Beth asks puzzled. What is Courtney doing here? She was eliminated! "No, not Courtney; this is another one of my nightmares!" Gwen exclaims, her eyes twitch a bit. "Hey princess," A familiar voice exclaims as Duncan, a nightmare one, appear. He gives kissing noises, saying, "Wow; Not sure who to pick here." "Oh, drop dead...and I mean you Gwen! Duncan is mine! You don't give a damn about our friendship at all!" Nightmare Courtney snarls to Gwen, causing her to scream. ------------- (Gwen is shivering while holding her sides) Gwen: Sealed up...being involved in that love triangle again...WHY?! ------------------ "Gwen, calm down, this isn't real, this isn't real." Trent said, calling out to Gwen. "The love triangle you were in is gone now." "How do I even know that," Gwen asks Trent frantically. She yelps as Nightmare Courtney holds a metal hammer. "Courtney, no, don't!" "Oh, you will pay dearly you boyfriend stealer!" Nightmare Courtney yells out, preparing to aim. Nightmare Duncan whistles madly, rubbing a hand on the glass. "DUNCAN!!!" "Hey, princess. How about we have a little threesome?" Nightmare Duncan asks Courtney, grossing the others out like hell. "You know you two are the lesbians." "Okay, enough!" Trent exclaims angrily as he run over and hits Nightmare Duncan in the face, knocking him out. "Gwen! Listen to me. I know you're scared, we all are, but please! You must conquer your fear! Forget about the glass box! Just concentrate on the friendship at hand!" Gwen looks nervous but nods quickly. She got to trust Trent. After breathing in, the Goth girl said, "Courtney, look. You can have Duncan. He's a damn louse and a pig! He was hitting on me first...so you should take your frustration out on him, not me!" Nightmare Courtney pauses, then slowly realize something. Pissed, she snaps, "You're right, Gwen! DUNCAN!" The nightmare version of Courtney comes over and hits N. Duncan with a mallet, making the others cringe a bit. Trent calls out to Gwen, "Okay, Gwen, now imagine that the box is unlocked. This is just a dream." Gwen nods as she dreams that the box is unlocked...when the girl shoves open. Gwen smiles as she jumps into Trent's arms." "Awwwww," Most of the players exclaims in amazement. It's good to see Trent and Gwen like this. "Kiss him!" Sierra calls out, making the others look at her. "What? I got various shipping." "Just like JusSonic the author! Wowie," Izzy exclaims with a mad laugh, much to the others' amusement. ---------- Trent: I'm relieved that's over. I hate for Gwen to fall to her biggest fears big time...I really love that girl. --------------- Gwen:[ I'm relieved Trent helped me out...and maybe...when I see Courtney again, I can forgive her...again...maybe... ------------------- The group goes into the next area via a door nearby. The group, turned into ponies once more, finds a messed up Carousel Boutique, much to their concern. "I think this is Rarity's dream." Katie said in concern, noting some familiar dresses now ruined. "I wonder what her nightmare is." "There she is. Rarity," Sadie calls out to Rarity who is working on a dress. The gang gasps as the unicorn appears to be frantic and driven into madness. "Check, recheck, recheck then recheck!" Rarity exclaims frantically. "Rarity, Rarity, hey, stupid," Scott exclaims but yelps as Rarity send a spool at him. "GO AWAY! I DON'T NEED HELP ANYMORE!!!! MY REPUTATION IS RUINED WHEN ONE OF MY CLIENTS' HEADDRESSES GOT RUINED!!!" "Okay, here's her fear: a lost in reputation." Ezekiel remarks in concern. Rarity freaks out, preparing on losing it, mumbling, "Must keep doing this...yes, Rarity, you can do this..." "Rarity, please listen." Katie said as she and Sadie comes over. "You like don't have to worry. You're the best dressmaker in Ponyville." "Well, one of the best anyway," Sadie remarked with a chuckle. Rarity seems to calm down a bit. "Plus, this is a dream. It isn't happening." "Right, I mean it isn't like your little sister is going to ruin your headdress out of revenge, right?" ----------- Izzy: FORESHADOWING! -------------------- "But my reputation...I am scared that I may not check or recheck enough, my friends." Rarity said with a whimper. "I'm worried and..." "Don't worry! You got friends and family who can help you out." Sadie said, hugging Rarity a bit, calming her down. "And if anything goes wrong..." "Well, who knows? In the future, one of your family members may help in fixing the mistake." Katie said in agreement. Rarity pauses then nods, smiling a bit. She spoke, "Yes, you're right, Darlings. I shouldn't panic. After all, I got friends and family who could help me out in my darkest of hours. Even if it was Sweetie Belle who messed up...I am confident she will fix it, correct?" Noah whistles, saying, "You girls are look with that generosity stuff." "Helping out a friend in need is what we do indeed." Katie remarks to Noah with a slight giggle. ----------- Katie: Like if Sadie needed some help, I can so be there for her. Sadie: Same thing, only with Katie. I hate to lose my good friend! ------------------ "Next room," B calls out, seeing a door that is opening nearby as the Carousel Boutique turns into the normal one back home. "Right; we will see you in the morning, Rarity." Tyler calls out to Rarity who is better looking and saner. "Yes, indeed Darling." Rarity remarks with a smile. "Oh, one more thing; if you see the princesses, which you may think are robots made by Chris, they aren't really robots. Just give the two Alicorns a chance to prove themselves." "Well...since your friends are generous in helping moi, I guess I can do the same thing." The group, back into humans, enters the next room...which appears to be nothing. There is a door on the other end. "Okay! This is dumb..." Eva remarks as she comes forward and fell. The tough girl gasps as she tries to crawl. "What? What's happening?" "You okay, Eva?" Lindsay asks Eva confused. "Oh no...can't move...am...weak...ugh! This is my nightmare...being weak!" "Oh ha ha ha! A weak Eva," Heather taunts a bit, making some of the others glare at her. "Sorry, I find that a bit ironic." "Someone help her!" Dawn exclaims as some of the players pick Eva up, dragging her to the door, "It's okay, Eva, we're here to help." "No, I'm weak, I'm WEAK!" Eva groans out in sadness and grief, "I feared being weak and being useless." "Yeah, especially concerning how you couldn't make it past one season." Scott taunts but a frowning Brick hits him. "Hey!" "Listen, Eva! You are not weak; it's all in your head!" Brick barks to Eva sternly, making her look up at him. "Now get up! Get moving! You are stronger than you think!" Eva cringes a bit then get up, barely moving. --------- Eva: Ugh. Acting like that, it's like having a kidney stone. ----------- "Come on, move, soldier, move," Brick exclaims, making Eva moves a bit, pushing her. "Come on, you can do better than that." The group took a while but they made it to the door. Eva got up, groaning, "Okay, I didn't exactly conquer that fear, but at least I'm trying." "We understand, Eva." Lindsay said, patting her friend on the back. "We all have our days." The group, now done with this room, heads through the door to the next one. The others looked around as they noticed they were in some grave yard. "Okay, which person's nightmare involves a graveyard?" Gwen said. Sam, who was merely sad, just stepped up as he looked over towards one grave. "This one... is mine..." "All right, which video game related nightmare is we in?" Trent asked. "It's not a video game nightmare!" Sam cried. "This is... my fear!" Everyone looked... and gasped as they saw what tombstone Sam was staring at. It read 'Dakota Milton. Born: October 2nd, 1996; Died: February 7th, 2014'... "Oh God..." Leshawna said, slowly backing away. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leshawna: I guess when you're going through fears, you never once considered your own death... or a loved one's death, for that matter... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Your fear is Dakota... dying?" Izzy said. Sam sighed. "Yes. I usually fear my own grave as well, but most often times... I see Dakota's grave. Sometimes, I don't know when or why... but death comes... when you least expected it..." Everyone looked at each other, looking down. Guess they never thought of it that way... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwen: Death is no laughing matter... but often very serious... we get scared of death every now and again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brick: Sooner or later, you'll have to accept Death no matter what. Sure, it'll happen when you least expect it, but eventually, you have to turn around and accept the truth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: I guess in some way, all of us are afraid of death. But we all know it'll happen eventually, whether by our own purposes or others'. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Don't worry, Sam. Dakota won't die." Trent said, trying to comfort the gamer. "I know... but she's like... my life, you know? I wouldn't want to lose her!" Sam said as he got up. "Everything will be fine, Sam." Trent said as he pulled him up. "Death won't take us today... not in your nightmare, not here!" Sam nodded. "All right... thanks, Trent." "Anytime," Trent gave a small smile as everyone turned to the door. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sam:[ I'm not sure if I conquered it... but in the end, Death is more of a concept, really... as nothing REALLY conquers that fear... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pretty soon, the Total Drama contestants arrived in another blank room with a door on the other end. "All right, last time we had a room like that, Eva was affected..." Gwen paused as she noticed Katie and Sadie nervously looking for something. "Okay, which dreams are..." "Katie, where are you?" Sadie said. "Sadie? No, you're missing!" Katie cried. "Oh God," Sadie cried as she lay down and cried. "Why can't I see you?" "You two are RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER!" Scott frowned. "Where," Katie and Sadie said, looking around. "NEXT TO EACH OTHER," Scott yelled. "Come on, what is so hard about the concept of 'NEXT TO YOU'!" Noah paused as he figured it out. "I think I know which nightmare we're in..." Noah said. "This is Katie's nightmare... the reason they can't see each other, but we can see both, is because Katie's fear... is losing Sadie as a friend." "Oh..." Everyone but the worried Katie and Sadie said. Katie was now crying as Sadie was sitting down, sniffling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie: I've lost Sadie! Where is she? What did I do to make her leave? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Katie, honey," Noah said as he sat the crying Katie down. "I want you to look at me, okay? Look, look at me." Katie looked up to see the comforting smile that belonged to Noah, who said, "Now, I want you to be happy, for me. I promise you, we'll find Sadie, we will make this right. Until then, you have me!" Katie paused as she gave a small smile. "I guess..." "Come on, give me a bigger smile!" Noah motivated Katie. Katie then gave a giggle as she gave her traditional Katie smile. "Now, that's the Katie I know!" Noah smiled as he tickled Katie a little, making her laugh. Sierra gave a huge smile as she said, "Now that's a pairing that's so cute, you'd hardly believe!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah: It always pains me, just to see Katie crying. Ever since we've became an item, there was no way I would ever let her go sad. So, I want her to be happy, as she wants me to be. I'm willing to do anything for her. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Who'd have thought the nerd and the skinny Wonder Twin would be a match in heaven?" Heather said, rolling her eyes. Ignoring Heather's comment, Noah turned his focus to Katie as he kissed her. "Come on, Katie... be happy... Sadie's always there... in your heart." Katie smiled as she put a hand in her heart. She then hugged Noah, saying, "Thanks, Noah-Boa; I'm feeling better now!" With that, Sadie turned and gasped. "Katie?" Katie, hearing the voice, gasped as she got off Noah and hugged Sadie. "Sadie! You're alive!" As the girls gave their usual pitched squeal, the door to the next nightmare opened up. As everyone was gathering over, Harold asked, "Dude, how did you know this was Katie's nightmare?" "She told me about it every time she had it." Noah said, "At least once or twice." "Dude, it must be pretty cool that you're going out with Katie." Cody said, "Pretty lucky, indeed." "I know." Noah smiled. "It's not easy, but I think there's... something there, you know?" "Well, be glad that..." Gwen started before noticing that the next door led to another blank room... and once again, Katie and Sadie were looking around nervously. "Katie? NO! You disappeared again!!" Sadie gasped. "Sadie? SADIE!" Katie said, looking around. Everyone not named Katie and Sadie just looked in disbelief as Scott yelled, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" "We're in Sadie's dream this time... and since she and Katie is BFFLs..." Noah sighed. "One of you has to comfort Sadie. I already took my turn with Katie, and I prefer it like that, thank you!" "Sierra, would it be..." Cody started as he turned to Sierra. "No, it's totally fine." Sierra nodded. "I'll even help you, too." Cody nodded as he and Sierra went over to comfort Sadie. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwen: (still in shock) Okay, are those two REALLY twin sisters in real life and not telling us about it, because for people who are supposed to be Best Friends For Life, they certainly SHARE the same dreams! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back in the control room, as Chef was drinking his coffee, in the background, Discord was piling the way to Celestia's door with dynamite as he gave the OK symbol to Chris and Luna, who were now wearing safety helmets. "FIRE IN THE HOLE," Luna called. Chris pushed the plunger as the dynamite exploded, causing a cloud of smoke to engulf the area. When the smoke cleared... the door still remained intact. Discord frowned. "Stubborn door, isn't it?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretty soon, after some calming and soothing words from Cody and Sierra, Katie and Sadie were reunited once again as they hugged each other. Sierra smiled as she said, "Once again, good friends to the end." "Come on, let's move on..." Gwen said as everyone went into the door to the next room... -------------------- Moments later, the TD players arrived in another dream room. "Oh no...this is my room!" Trent exclaimed, sweating a bit. "And it's a mess!" Harold exclaimed as he looked around the room, "Gawd! And I thought Rarity is fussy when it comes to messy rooms!" "No, no, no! I need to get organized!" Trent exclaimed frantically as he get organized. The gang notices that he's doing stuff in nines. The boy sighs, thinking that he has done it. "There, it's..." But when Trent turns around, an extra item is added to a stack of CDs. He turned and panicked, "NO! NOT AGAIN!" "What's up with Trent?" Sam asked the others in concern as Trent frantically tries to get rid of the extra item. "He has an obsession with the number 9!" Sierra explained to Sam. "He had it ever since his grandpa died when a wheel fell off his train, leaving 9!" "That's it?" Scott asks with a scoff. "I thought he was a neat freak like Rarity!" "Don't make me hit you, Scott!" Eva growled at Scott, showing a fist to the bored boy. "Statue; don't forget it!" Scott reminds Eva tauntingly. ------------- Eva: When his statue is up and the Alicorns kick his ass out, I will be KICKING HIS ASS OUT LITERALLY!!! ------------------- "I will help him...he helped me so it's time I return the favor." Gwen said to her friends. They nodded as she came over to the panicked Trent, replacing some toys. "Trent, calm down." "I can't! These must be...in nines!" Trent exclaims, twitching. "They don't have to be! I understand that the toy train was a gift from your grandpa before he died...and it has nine wheels which is the reason for your obsession." Gwen explains to Trent gently. "But you shouldn't let it control you...just like you don't let mimes control you." "I'm still scared of mimes, you know." Trent reminds Gwen nervously. "Yes, but still...not the point...I mean, what would your late grandpa say if he sees you freaking out like this?" Gwen asks Trent, hugging him. Trent calmed down a bit, getting up in realization. He said, "He would be disappointed. Oh man, I was disobeying grandpa my whole life since his death..." "It’s okay, Trent; He will understand. Just let the obsession go. Just let it go." Gwen insists to Trent with a warm smile. "Yeah, you're right, thanks Gwen." Trent said while hugging Gwen. "You're welcome, Trent." Gwen said while hugging her boyfriend. ------------- Trent: Seeing Gwen helped me like I helped her...(smiles) It makes me happy. ---------------------- Ezekiel: Yeah, number 9 is number 0, eh; which is kinda ironic! Oh, oh! Trent is the seven because 'seven eight nine!' Get it? (Pause) No? ---------------------- The gang now entered a door...and is turned into ponies once more, much to their annoyance; Must be another one of their pony friends' dreams. The gang found themselves in a playground near a school in Canterlot. Beth ask, "So whose dream is this?" Laughter is heard as the gang turns to see a younger Boris laughing cruelly as he uses his magic to pull on a young Ben Mare's tail, giving him a wedgie, so to speak. "Awwwww, poor idiotic Benny wanna cry?" Boris taunted Ben, who groaned a bit. "Leave me alone, Boris!" Ben demanded, but yelped as Boris pulled on his tail harder with his magic. "Face it. You are a loser; Twilight would never love a loser...or a monster!" Boris taunted. The gang yelps as Ben is turned into a Demon Pony who groaned helplessly as the nightmare foals threw stuff at him. "Why, those no good creeps," Leshawna exclaims, fuming angrily. The gang can tell that this nightmare is Ben Mare's. They're sure of it. "Picking on Ben and calling him a monster." Dawn said in concern. "Have they no shame?" "Oh allow me!" Gwen exclaims sternly as she quickly imagine something out. Boris and the foals continue laughing cruelly until a shadow appears over them. They turn and see a familiar evil Alicorn appearing over them. "THOU SHALL PAY WITH CRUELTY WITH LASHES AND ETERNAL NIGHT!!!" Nightmare Moon boomed insanely to the bullying foals then laughed wickedly. All the nightmare foals screamed in fear- Boris like a little girl, especially- before they ran off, away from Ben. Gwen sighs as she made the Nightmare Moon disappear, then the group came over to the shaking Ben Mare. Dawn removed the chain as she said, "It's okay; we're here to help." "You help me? Why?" Ben asked the group concerned. "Because we don't have a choice," Heather remarked with a shrug but saw a frown from Beth. "What?" "Hey, listen, eh! Don't let those mean foals get to you!" Ezekiel said to Ben once the Demon Pony is freed. "You ain't bad. Heck, I was a monster once but I am really nice on the inside." "When he isn't bashing girls or being annoying." Eva remarked bitterly. "Ignoring that; you can't let those ponies get to ya, eh!" Ezekiel insisted to Ben. "Right, you aren't a monster...and we aren't the only ones who do, remember?" Bridgette asked Ben gently. "She's right." A familiar voice said as filly Twilight- a dream version that is- appeared, smiling as she came over to nuzzle Ben. "I always love you and know you are a good pony inside. No transformation or the whatnot will change that." "Twilight..." Ben said gently as he changed back to his normal colt self. "My memories of my colt days and being a Demon Pony...they were the worst ever." "Then you two should conquer it together!" B exclaimed to Ben, making the colt smile. "You really think so?" Ben asked. "We know so." Dawn replied with a nod. "Why would we lie if we're just good friends," Cody asked Ben with a grin. "Scott! Not a word!" Sadie snapped to Scott, making him frown a bit while crossing his upper forelegs. "The point is, as long as you got friends and loved ones, no force on Earth can stop ya." Leshawna said to Ben with a chuckle. "Yeah, you're right. I'm so glad that you're here to help." Ben said with a sigh, nuzzling Twilight. The colt's eyes widen in horror. "Wait, this is a dream, right? That means you're still in danger!" "We aren't in danger. Chris was playing a mean trick that backfired." Beth explained while rolling her eyes. "Your mother and your aunt are still alive, Ben." "They... they are?" Ben asked in hope and relief. "Right; they are only pretending to be robots." Trent said to Ben in agreement. "Just you wait. Come morning, you will be happy to see them." "Yeah, maybe you're right." Ben said to Trent with a smile. "Thanks for the hope...and BTW, you and Gwen make a cute couple!" Trent and Gwen blushed at the same time from hearing this. "Okay, let's go, Romeo and Juliet." Heather remarked, pushing the two aside. "There is our next trip out of here." The gang hops through the next door, relieved that this whole matter is over. ------------------- Leshawna: I thought we have seen it all...(worried) But what happens next...is my own dream. ------------------- The group, humans again, fell into a room, screaming. Most of them but Leshawna landed in huge webs. "Ugh! Webs," Brick exclaimed, moving around a bit. "What the hell is this?" "Wait, webs? Webs," Leshawna asked scared, looking around. "Uh oh; I think this is Leshawna's dream." Lindsay said in realization. "Now what is it she's scared of again?" A roar is heard as everyone turns to see a huge spider...with Chef's head appearing, roaring at the group. "OH, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Leshawna screamed out frantically. The spider laughs as he slashes at Leshawna, making her dodge. "Oh God, oh God, oh God," Leshawna exclaims frantically. ----------- Leshawna: (trembling) Terrifying...scary... ---------------------- "Leshawna, come on!" Dawn calls out to Leshawna. "You gotta face this fear." "Right, this isn't like the last time!" Bridgette exclaims in agreement. "This is real!" "I can't...I can't..." Leshawna said trembling. "Sweetie, you gotta, because..." Harold yelps as Chef Spider hits him, knocking the nerd off the web. Needless to say, Leshawna gasps and narrows her eyes angrily. "OH NO, YOU DIDN'T! No one strikes my man!" Leshawna roars as she pounces at the Chef Spider, making it yelps as the monster got trampled and beaten up on. The impact causes the others to fall off the webs and landing safely. As they got up, the group saw Leshawna beating up the Chef Spider like mad. "Wow." Lindsay said in amazement. "When Leshawna get upset, she ain't fooling." "Go, Chocolate Goddess, whoop his ass, wow!" Harold exclaims as he cheers on his girl. Leshawna is finally done, dusting off her hooves as she came back. Beth smiles as she ask, "So how about it?" "Ass kicking; Come on, let's leave." Leshawna said in satisfaction as the group found another door to leave this area in. ----------- Leshawna: (grins) Well, not what I called a victory but if I can do that in real life, hell, it's worth it. ------------- The gang now enters some sort of party that's happening right now. Izzy grins while saying, "A party; Sweeeet!" "Yeah, but shouldn't it be a nightmare of sorts?" Brick ask in concern. "What do you think, B?" B tries to talk...but to his shock, nothing came out of his mouth. He tries to speak, getting a bit worried and freaked. "B? B? Hey, going silent again?" Sam asks B in concern. The big man tries his best to talk, getting scared. "Uh oh; I betcha this is his dream." Cody said in concern, realizing whose dream that the group are in now. "Must be him not talking; But why?" "Oh look," A party goer taunts as he points at B. "It's 'Beverly'!" "Ha ha ha; the fat ass can't even talk!" Another party goer taunts evilly, making B looks down. "Antisocial fatty," A third one laughs. The party guests laugh, pointing at B. Some of the others on the other hands look worried. ---------------- Tyler: B's nightmare is simple. It involves him being silent and how he was being made fun of because people consider him antisocial. ------------------- "Oh wow." Eva remarks with a chuckle. "This is his dream, pathetic." "B, don't let them get to you." Dawn said, patting B on the back, making him look at her. "You got friends." "Too bad not every one of them is here." Scott laughs a bit but yelps as Eva elbows him hard in the chest. "Ouch! Hey!" "Look, B, just because you can't talk or people consider you antisocial, doesn't mean you are. You can talk when you got something on your mind. Heck, I got something like that in my own childhood." "Really; what could that be?" Sierra asks, arching an eyebrow. "Believe me, you don't wanna know." Dawn said to Sierra seriously. Turning back to B, she said, "Come on. Just ignore those jerks." "Right, buck off, all of ya," Heather snaps, flipping off the party goers as the group heads away through the next door. B smiles a bit; it's good knowing that he has friends who stood by him despite the obvious. The gang enters another room which looks like a dance at a school gym. B spoke, "Whoa, whose dream is this? Hey! I got my voice back!" "Damn, I was looking forward to Silent B again." Scott remarks sarcastically. "And now...your elementary dance queen...Dawn!" A voice exclaims as Dawn finds herself a kid again, wearing a nice dress. The kids applaud while she comes to the stage, being given roses. "Weird, this looks like something from my childhood...but what?" Dawn ask puzzled. B then yelps as he saw a smirking nasty boy nearby with a rope. The boy looks up and saw that it is tied up to a bucket full with pig's blood on top of a rafter above. It didn't take long for him to figure out what's going on. "Dawn! Look out!" B calls out to Dawn in horror. "It's... But it was too late. Once the crown is put on Carrie's head, the mean kid chuckles quietly and pulls the rope...causing the rope with pig's blood to fall, spilling right onto Dawn like mad. The girl gasps in shock as she is now covered with pig's blood, looking up. Dawn imagines the whole room, especially the teachers...and her friends...laughing and jeering at her. Dawn growls furiously as she begins to glow with a nasty aura...and suddenly the girl uses her psychic powers to telepathically seal all the exits, much to the shock of everyone, especially the players. "Oh crap!" Gwen exclaims in horror, realizing what's going on. "What? What's going on?" Sierra asks Gwen in confusion. "Do you remember the movie 'Carrie'?" "Uh oh..." --------------------------- Gwen: This is Dawn's nightmare and it involves something from her childhood which causes her psychic powers to appear. And trust me, for those who've seen Carrie...IT'S HELL!!! ---------------------------- Dawn smirked evilly as she summoned a hose to spray water everywhere. "ACK; we're going to drown unless we figure out how we can solve this!" Izzy said. "Quick, how did Carrie end?" Sierra asked. "CARRIE KILLED EVERYONE, INCLUDING HERSELF!" Cody yelled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gwen: Dammit, that doesn't help us... what to do, what to do... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "If you're having difficulty with this one, you can pass on this!" Chef's voice called. "Chef," Everyone said, looking up. "Yes, it's me!" Chef's voice said, annoyed. "Anyway, you people are allowed up to three passes, but keep in mind, if you pass, it'll affect HEAVILY on the conquering nightmares score..." As soon as Chef's voice turned off, Gwen sighed. "Do you think we should?" "I don't know any other way... let's just pass." B said. Everyone nodded as they quickly yelled, "PASS! PASS! PASS!" Everything then started to disappear as Dawn was back to normal. Dawn coughed as she asked, "What happened?" "What the hell was that?" Scott said. "You never told us you had psychic powers!" "You never asked." Dawn said. "Plus, it came with the Moon-Child thing. It's a long story." "Just trust us." Katie said. "Dawn told us everything about it... it's not pretty." ------------------------------------------------------- Scott: (writing something down) All right, something to use for later... (Smirks) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Come on, let's just move on." Brick said as they walked towards the next door. Once everyone went through the door, it slowly shut itself before mysteriously fading in...an black magic aura... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Chef was watching, he noticed all the monitors were blinking off. Chef frowned as he tried to move the monitors around. "Chris, Discord, Luna? You may want to come over here..." Chef called. "Can it wait?" Discord said as he, Chris and Luna were nearby Celestia's door, the former was trying to drill his way in. "I think we're close to breaking the lock!" "Never mind that! Something happened in the maze! The monitors aren't working!" Chef said. "What?" Luna, Chris and Discord said as Discord dropped the drill and ran back to where Chef and the equipment were. "Hang on!" Luna said as she tried to focus her magic on the monitors... but she frowned. "I'm trying, but something's not coming up! It's as if there was an even..." Her eyes then widened. "Oh no, I must have picked up a couple of villains' doors by mistake!" "Villains' doors; Wait, as in someone like Grimmore," Chris yelped. "Maybe..." Luna said. "I'm such an idiot..." "It's bad enough Celestia has her sights on you from the bluff about killing the Royal Sisters and our cast one by one, but how are we gonna explain this?" Chef frowned. "Um, Discord, can't you snap your fingers and get them into the next room?" Chris was smiling with a worried face in liking some help. "I'm trying, but no go from what I see!" Discord responded to snap his fingers. "Someone powerful is interfering!" Luna yelped. "I am such an idiot, why did I think adding a few villains' nightmares was a good idea! Villains RELISH in these nightmares!" Luna turned to Chris. "Never mind the door for now. We’ve got to get our contestants out of here, or their asses are grass...es." "I'll see what I can do!" Chris nodded. Soon Discord and Chef began to work on the magic monitor to try to get a signal from where the cast of TDE are and what they are doing now. --------------------------------------------------------------- Back with the gang, everyone was back into pony form as they looked around. They seemed to be in a red fog like area. "I wonder which of the Mane Six's dreams were in now," Lindsay said, looking around. "Oooooh, this feels like a horror film, where we enter a realm where a villain gets us!" Izzy said in excitement. "Hmmm..." Bridgette paused. "Chef, are you up there? Help us out with this one!" Everyone paused as they noticed that they weren’t hearing anything. "Chef; Luna; Discord; Hello," Bridgette called. "They're... not answering, are they?" Cody gulped. "Oh please, this has Chris's name all over it! He's trying to scare us!" Heather rolled her eyes. "Um, you do remember the Psycho Killer challenge, right? Where last time you said we get punked, turn out in the end, it was real?" Leshawna dryly rolled her eyes. "Well for Gwen, it was." Heather said. "Right and I was so lucky to experience that!" Gwen sarcastically rolled her eyes. "My, my, aren't you a strange bunch?" Spoke a voice that was not anyone's here. That made the others looks to see a cloaked pony figure enter the area, as he slowly removed the hood. It was none other than Shadow Dragon, as he made his presence known to those here. "Hey, who are you, dude?" Tyler asked as Shadow Dragon came closer. "Surely you have heard about our group. I am Shadow Dragon, a member of the Dark Mystics." The revealed pony introduced himself. "Wait! Dark Mystics; aren't they one of the Three Lords of Equestria that Twilight's book showed us?" Beth asked. "The Mystic Ponies' arch rivals? Aren't they like rank second place in the rating?" B questioned. "Which means their group means...DOODY!" Scott smirked. Suddenly, a sword was thrown off that missed Scott. This made many cringe in seeing that, talk about not taking jokes too easily. "Ow, hey man, keep your mane in check! I was only fooling." Scott said, yelping. "I want answers; such as... are you really who you are or are you..." Shadow Dragon paused in suspense, "Humans in disguise as ponies?" The gang yelped in hearing this, they were told to not tell anyone this. So if they told a bad guy, it could spell trouble big time, they gotta get away from him. "Answer truthfully, and I'll probably let you go." Shadow Dragon smirked. "Oh yeah, what makes you think we go along quietly?" Eva frowned. "This!" Shadow Dragon spoke off from when he magically was creating a few dozen Darkness Spheres to prepare to cause much harm to those here. "That... seems dangerous!" Lindsay gulped. "Brick, quick; Thrown him your front boots," Izzy shouted. "Why?" Brick asked off before suddenly getting the idea. "Oh right! Take this, you villain!" He spoke in removing his front boots to be used as throwing weapons. Soon Brick tossed his two front boots, but Shadow Dragon used a levitation spell to cease the boots movement. "You expect to defeat me with your pathetic material objects?" Shadow Dragon smirked, until a green mist was seen and entered his nostril. "Ugh, what's this... smell?" He yelps to drop his magic spells and saw the green mist was the stench... that came from Brick’s boots. "The sweet smell of VICTORY," Brick proudly declared. "That and the guy never removed his army boots, so they stink something else." B explained. "Quick, let's try making a break for it." Trent instructed the group that they can get away now. "Where; we don't even know where the way to the next door IS!" Gwen asked. "Who cares, as long as we're far, FAR away from him," Scott protested. Soon the four teams rushed past Shadow Dragon while he was suffocating by the smell of Brick's boots. When the gang were out of sight, Brick's boots were eradicated by dark magic, as the Dark Mystic stood up before gazing at the ones that slip pass him. "You can run, but it will be no use." Shadow Dragon stated the manner of this resistance. "This cat and mouse game will be my victory to claim." With that, the scene focuses on his eyes, before Shadow Dragon fades out. Looks like a danger that not even Chris could prepare or do, has now been unleashed and is after the cast. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noah: I know, I know, a confessional in the middle of a chase, but hey, if Drawn Together can have those moments, who is to say, we can't have those moments! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bridgette: How did we even end up in Shadow Dragon’s dream, we’re not sure! Maybe Princess Luna made a mistake somewhere along the way! Either way, we need to find the next door leading to the next nightmare and quick! --------------------------------------------- Now we see much of the Total Drama Gang have arrived near a spot where they are panting from being tired. They've been looking for a way out of Shadow Dragon's dream, but it was no use. They saw the door, but it was out of reach. They suddenly realized that Shadow Dragon has cornered them. "So, ready to give in now?" Shadow Dragon asked. "Oh brother, can't you leave us alone?" Gwen groaned. "I seek answers, and you will give them to me or die here." Shadow Dragon threatened. "If only we could just make up something and dream up anything like Luna told us!" Izzy said. The Total Drama gang's eyes widened as they did a face-hoof, "DUH!!!!!" "Quick, imagine something!" Trent spoke to where he and the others were trying to focus their minds to dream up something. "Fools, it's not so easy. In dreams, not everyone can control what they want to conjure up, and in this new area, you won't even..." Shadow Dragon started to explain... until he was blasted off by a bazooka Izzy managed to dream up in her grasp. "Sorry, did you say something, I was dreaming up these nifty military weapons!" Izzy laughed. "Izzy, you're a genius!" Cody smiled. "Quick, grab a weapon or whatever Izzy's dreaming up!" Brick ordered. Soon a lot of the TDE gang got their military weaponry to take aim, and fire their shots off against Shadow Dragon. The guy vanished to attack and dodge, but for the cast members that have survived Chris McClean's survival games and games of torture, and more crazy stuff that not many average folks can get by, they prove to be surprisingly capable in different fields. After a good few minutes, Shadow Dragon was in a stalemate against capturing and trying to get information from the group. "Looks like the shoe is on the other foot, buster." Noah smiled. Shadow Dragon growls under his breath, these ponies shouldn't have had such luck in HIS dream, how did they manage it? "Hmmm... it would appear these creatures have some entertainment worth after all." Spoke a dark voice that echoed in the area that made everyone's skin or fur crawl... it sounded so malevolent that it was belonging to something not human as the door opened up. "Wait a moment! This is my mission to interrogate them, Dark Curse wants answers!" Shadow Dragon protested. "Who's he talking to?" Tyler asked in confusion. "Is it Chris?" Lindsay asked. "No, I sense an aura, one more terrifying than even Chris McClean!" Dawn spoke with a straight serious face. "Dark Curse, humph! They won't be yours or the Superior's case, but another creature some idiot put in the room next to yours." The voice responded. Then suddenly, the Total Drama gang got sucked up right into the next room. Shadow Dragon blinked as he said, "Okay, can anybody PLEASE explain to me what the hell just happened?" ----------------------------------------------------------- The next door opened up, and the Total Drama gang looked around. It was styled like a dungeon chamber surrounded by red hot infernos, like the inside structure of an underworld palace. They were on a solid path and below were a molten crater of fiery inferno, one wrong move and they'll be toast. "NOW which dream are we in?" Harold asked. "Wow, this looks like some Master Villain's Dungeon Throne Room from Dungeons & Dragons XXVI!" Sam said in excitement. "Wait, doesn't that tell us who or what is here!" Sadie asked in fear. "OMG, what if it's that Shadow Dragon guy?" Katie gulped. "No, we're WAY out of his dream. He can't come in this one..." Dawn said. "But I sense... something familiar... someone we felt such strong... dark aura before!" Dawn said nervously. "Well out with it! Who is it?" Scott asked off impatiently. "You shouldn't rush things after all... this nightmare has only begun!" The darken voice spoke that brought attention to... the center of the room. Soon everyone turn up to see some high station throne within this throne room of true evil. For sitting in the throne made almost everyone's face expressions show a look of terror they held from seeing their worst nightmares, things that scare them the most. But it was not any of them, this one was far worse, worse than being stuck being tortured by Chris McClean's games. For the one that stared at the Total Drama crew, who had his right hand rest his head, who looked to them with a sly smile of showing a 'unique' interest that seem so empty of emotion, but held massive amounts of begin a true evil mastermind, a being almost unequal; the Dark Elf known as Grimmore. "Oh no...tell me something! If Chris was seriously pulling our legs, would he have... this guy even be here?" Noah said. The others shook their heads 'no', not even their cruel host is THAT bad. "That... is what I was afraid of." Noah stated in feeling himself become afraid, very afraid now. "One more question, then I’m done. Are we in T-R-O-U-B-L-E?" "Y-E-S," The rest of the Total Drama gang said. Then suddenly, the entire room began to feel an air shift as heavy invisible pressure was pouring in like rain. It caused all the Total Drama contestants to suddenly drop to their knees, gasping for air. Gwen, Trent, Bridgette, Katie and Sadie of Magical Unicorns, Scott, Ezekiel, Brick, Lindsey and Eva of Groundin' Earth Ponies, Heather, Sam, Noah, Leshawna, Tyler, and Izzy of Flying Pegasuses, B, Dawn, Beth, Harold, Sierra and Cody of Immortal Alicorns, all 22 players were feeling like their world was crashing down. Huge amounts of tremendous fears were starting to build up in their bodies, they were shaking, they had wide eyes and some tried to comfort their loved ones, but even that wasn't enough for either of them. "So, you must be the new ponies that were… summoned here, hmm. How predicable," Grimmore spoke awfully calm in seeing who it was that was before him. "Didn't any of you know... this world... can be dangerous?" "Wha... what is he?" Beth gasped out to say from feeling such heavy force. "How could anything like this exist?" Sierra asked. Then Grimmore actually decided to stand up. "I believe you are currently going through some trials, by another who likes games, am I correct?" Grimmore asked. "You... you mean... Chris?" Heather said. "We'll make a trade, spare us and you can have him. He's pretty evil to belong in Tartarus anyway." "Heather! We can't just make a deal to save our own selves?" Gwen frowned. "Well it's not anyone else important, just Chris." Leshawna rolled her eyes. "You all are amusing." Grimmore smiled. "Perhaps, you can entertain me a little?" "Do we get to go free if we win?" Sam asked. "That depends, if you can survive!" Grimmore stated this in either lying or telling the truth, truly, a sly way that only those of far superior might and power, give off to lesser beings. Then with a wave of his hand, behind the TDE crew, appeared a glowing door with white light. "The next door will lead to yet ANOTHER of your nightmares, only... I improved it a little bit. I couldn't EXACTLY leave this place, since I can't REALLY enter inside... but YOU, for some reason, can! Enter that door, and you'll be back to the regular maze... but let's just say, and as I have previously stated, I improved the room next to me... a little." "Really; that doesn't sound so bad, eh?" Ezekiel said. "Careful, he's the Overlord King, the Demon God that everyone fears. Even Chris wet himself when he saw the guy. What if it’s a trap," Bridgette gulped. "Trap or no trap, if a Demon was giving a chance to get the hell out of here, I'll take it," Scott said. "Then hurry, because if you don't make it out of whatever dream YOU people thought up, and into the room where I can't reach you... it will prove you aren't good enough to entertain even a Demon God." Grimmore laughed. Soon Grimmore began to make one long and slow step that as it touch the ground, echo across the ground. Course that one step was enough to unleash a gale breeze wind that pushed the others away from Grimmore, getting out of the heavy aura pressure. "THAT'S IT! I’M GETTING THE HECK OUT OF HERE!" Eva screamed as she ran towards the door. "Oh, I feel too flat out!" Lindsay complained from feeling herself unable to stand. "Come on Lindsay!" Tyler helped Lindsay up to her hooves to begin going through the glowing door. Grimmore was walking so slow, and every step echoed, more of the area's atmosphere pressure increase weight to any to feel just small tiny itty-bitty smidgen bits of his power, and that's not even gone up ten percent. "Move; Move; MOVE," Brick was waving for Sadie, Katie, Noah, Beth Bridgette and Heather to get through the door. "Everyone, get in!" As he said this, he went in after those guys did before the last ones were coming later. Trent, Harold, B and Sierra helped up Gwen, Leshawna, Dawn and Cody to help them get through the portal door. Finally, all of the TDE cast had made it through with any little might of just escaping the grasp of Equestria's greatest terror. As Grimmore stood near the portal, he showed superior sly expression despite those that managed to safely go through. "Now let's see how well these new ponies…whose I believe and know for sure that they are humans… enjoy a game by a Demon God's standings." Grimmore spoke in showing a diabolic expression in having plans to see how those that like to perform in hard and challenging games, deal with his own. "And they won’t be alone, no...others should enjoy the fun too. Yes..." He spoke this out; his right hand glowed into a fiery inferno before pressing itself into the portal where it unleashed a horrifying wail noise. The Dark Elf laughs maniacally that echoes within his thrown chamber, he shall present something that will be the grand moment to challenge any player or gamer of challenges. Time to bring forth a game that not even Chris McClean could perform, something of a marvel of what it means... to be truly evil and control the lives of others, by Demon God standings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, Discord finally got the monitors up. "Okay, I got the monitors up!" Discord said. "It appears they must have passed one of the villains' rooms! I don't know if they passed the other one." "What is that place?" Chef asked as he looked down. "This says they're in Scott's nightmare, but I don't see it too well!" "Chef, can you make it clear, I dare say, some force that was targeting them, is about to be seen?" Luna instructed Chef. "Got it," Chef nodded as he got to work on fiddling with the equipment to get a better signal. Those in the room watch in wondering, what was gonna happen now, and what will happen to the Total Drama crew. --------------------------------------------------------- Suddenly, the scenery opens up to where a new glowing door appeared as the Total Drama crew were seen exiting out of it to land on something strange. And, as such, they were back to their human forms. When the portal door vanished, they managed to scout out their surroundings of where they are or were at. It looked like an area stage of strangely shaped block cubes forming some sort of climbing pathway going up. Some were like a stairway, others a bit more complicated, but straight up ahead in the furthest top point, was what seem like a strange custom gate door with a light from the closed door frame. "Great, whose dream are we in now?" Heather asked, looking around. Scott looked around, and his eyes widened, he knew this place. "It looks like a very tall stairway!" Lindsay spoke off in guessing what this place was by its figure shape. "Stairs made of blocks?" Leshawna pointed out. "They appear to be... movable, at least to some." Noah stated from observing Sam pushing a light gray block while Tyler was seen having a hard time with a heavy dark metal block. "Careful, some are breakable or slippery!" Cody warn the others when he slip on a block step that was icy and he came to one that was breaking which he got saved by Sierra that pulled him away. "I got you, Cody!" Sierra responded to hold her love close to her. "Just what place is this, eh?" Ezekiel asked. "It's... my nightmare." Scott said. "Grimmore... raped my nightmare..." "Your nightmare," Gwen asked. "Your nightmare is a Catherine-like puzzle?" "Are you kidding? I was a wiz at such things!" Harold smirked. "Yeah... that's not ALL the nightmare!" Scott said nervously. "If I'm right, Grimmore should have tampered with..." Suddenly, something was teleported to be at the bottom of the path while the others were above. They saw what was climbing up the step of blocks, and it was a grinning mutant shark foe they know. "Fa-Fa-Fafafafa... Faaaaaaaang," Scott was gasping out in fear in seeing his worse foe was here. "Oh, well, that’s more like it." Gwen nodded. "Anyway, how would Grimmore tamper with Fang? Seems pretty normal..." "I think I know the challenge! I tried doing it whenever I had that nightmare! But I always got eaten by Fang before I could finish! I wake up afterwards!" Scott explained. As Fang was about to come at the group with the last three block steps away, a sudden ice block slides off above, missed the others and whack the shark off to fall down the patch of steps. It looked cartoony the way Fang was whacking against the block steps until he vanished from sight in the dark abyss. The group turn towards B, as he was seen giving an okay smile in being the one to do the deed. "Have you tried the ice block to stall him? I took the time to make something to help out while figuring this stuff!" B explained. "B, you saved us." Dawn smiled and hugged the one she cares for. "Well gee, guess that's that." Tyler rubbed his head. "Yeah, I tried that. He came back bigger." Scott said. "WHAT?" Everyone said in shock. Suddenly, something was shot down like some neon beams of light of crimson coloring features. Once it stopped, did the gang feel that something majorly bad was about to happen. "Da-Da... Da-Da... Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da... DADADADAAAAAAHHH," Suddenly, some evil new voice was heard chanting the 'JAWS' theme before the whole area shook and then something of gigantic measures appeared above. It was Fang the Mutant Shark, but he seems to undergo a transformation, and seem way, WAY more scarier than before. He looked like a zombie-mutant demon beast, darken crimson blue mix with dark red to look like blood, blacken bruise markings and metal accessories, and his fully red devil eyes with a black cross pupil design screamed EVIL! "HEEEEEERE's FANGY!" The new Fang announced with a scary voice instead of growls to gaze down at his 'bite size' meals. "SEE! SEE!" Scott screamed. "Is that... really Fang?" Beth asked off in shock. "Not the Fang WE know," Sierra stated. "Wait, he can talk?" Lindsay asked. "Well, no." Scott paused. "He always turned into this whenever I tried to defeat him, the only thing that's new is the voice!" "Oh I can talk alright! I can talk and eat you guys at the same time too!" Nightmare Fang smiled off to say this to smile with his teeth, showing to the gang’s displeasure of many skeleton creatures caught; some with their skin or fur off to show their blood veins; truly it was a horror moment that make some feel disturbed and sick to their stomach. "Um, can we maybe choose the old Fang instead?" Cody nervously asked. "Sorry, no take backs, shouldn’t have knocked me off with that ice block! Now... you deal with Nightmare Fang! And Scotty, you'll be my main course!" Nightmare Fang smiled off evilly. "Okay, this is creepy!" Tyler yelped. "I am so glad that the others aren’t here to see this..." Heather sighed in relief. Suddenly, a flash of light blinded many before it faded away. And then what appeared were the human versions of the voted out cast of Total Drama Equestria; Jo, Alejandro, Cameron, Geoff, Owen, Mike, Zoey, Courtney, Duncan, Justin (who is uninjured it seems), Anne-Maria, Lightning, DJ and Dakota, a total of fourteen voted off bunch. But no signs of Josh, Brady, Staci OR Blaineley are here. They were all here, all left puzzled and confused to what even was going on here. Heather yelped as she saw Alejandro. "I had to say it, didn’t I?" "Hey, where am I? I was having a dream of winning Heather back!" Alejandro frowned. "You are? Oh, here, then I will say this..." Heather smiled as she went to Alejandro... then punched him in the face. "I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO YOU! GET THAT IN YOUR HEAD!" "What the..." Alejandro yelped as he saw Heather standing before him. "Heather? You're back to human?" "Only in the human filled dreams, the pony dreams, we're ponies." Heather explained. "Bridgette! Ah, I can't believe your here!" Geoff spoke off before kissing Bridgette as they shared an important moment. "Hey, I'm not injured." Justin spoke in being surprised, last time, he was seriously injured, but he seems fine now. "Yo, can somebody tell Lightning what's going on?" Lightning frowned. "That would be ME!" Nightmare Fang spoke in him gazing down behind the new arrivals that slowly looked back to stare wide eyed... in who they saw. This caused those that arrived to scream in fear and terror to flee a bit back. What was happening, first they arrive where the still competing members are, and now Fang has become a giant that talks, what is wrong here? "Fang; what happened to him?" Owen asked. "Did he get mutated further?" Cameron asked. "Worse, this is a nightmare enhanced version of the guy." Harold explained, "Made by Scott." "The voice was only an addition by Grimmore." Sam stated. "But why are we here? We were back home, weren't we?" Dakota asked. "Uh, Dakota, we were in another world!" Geoff frowned. "Remember, I explained this to you!" "Grimmore must have brought your dream selves here, and if we don't get to that door up there to the next dream, we're done for.” Trent pointed upwards to explain the situation. "We can't die in a dream. Can we?" Courtney protested. "Sweetheart, I think if a guy who is worse than Chris is involved, I'm not having us take those chances!" Duncan protest to Courtney to grab her hand to begin pulling her, because this time... this isn't a torture game; it's a game of their lives at sake. "Everyone, let's run for it," Mike shouted. Soon Nightmare Fang begins to slowly crawl up the stairs to chase after the human cast. There were some that scream, others scream louder while there were those focusing on trying to climb and escape, some helped another, others couldn’t care less. This would be a challenge that truly, not even Chris McClean, would have sunk so low to do, and now the gang are on their own here... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in the lounge room of the Realm of Dreams, Chris, Chef, Discord and Luna saw the action and began to fear for the worse. Grimmore, the most powerful, most diabolical villain god of all times, cornered the players in the maze and changed Scott's dream to make the escape to the next level with their lives. "Sweet Betty Rose; that guy really isn't fooling around!" Chef gasped. "This would be really, REALLY good for ratings, but really, REALLY bad for lawsuits!" Chris stated. "If the Demon God himself is acting, we have to obey his rules. Not even my chaos magic or Luna's magic of the Realm of Dreams could protect them!" Discord stated. "Then we'll have to help them get out and get them to continue on the maze... and bring back the others to their own dreams, when they reach that door. I can sense its magic; we'll have to wait for them there." Luna explained. "You two keep watch to inform us of anything else that may happen." "Alright, but you better hurry, that Nightmare Fang looks REEEEAL hungry." Chef insisted as he pointed to the Nightmare Fang's monitor. Soon Luna and Discord left for the next dream to await at the door to unlock it. But man, they'll pray and hope for the best, because now things are getting too dangerous now. With that, Chris and Chef try to watch what happens next, but in truth, they are sweating up a storm. They hope to get them out of there soon. ------------------------------------------------------------- At the moment, the scene returns to where we left off seeing the long stairway of block cubes, and we see the terrified Total Drama Gang are running, climbing, scaling, you name it with their own strength or teamwork. Everyone partaking this was there; Gwen, Trent, Bridgette, Katie, Sadie of Magical Unicorns, Scott, Ezekiel, Brick, Lindsey, Eva of Groundin' Earth Ponies, Heather, Sam, Noah, Leshawna, Tyler, Izzy of Flying Pegasus, B, Dawn, Beth, Harold, Sierra, Cody of Immortal Alicorns, even Jo, Alejandro, Cameron, Geoff, Owen, Zoey, Mike, Courtney, Duncan, Justin, Anne-Maria, Lightning, DJ & Dakota that were the voted off bunch. They were in too big of a hurry to care, as they were just getting away from what was way behind. And speaking of which, the gigantic Nightmare Fang was scaling up the tower of stairway or just taking a bite out of them. "Hmmmm... all this chasing is making me more HUNGRRRRRRRY!" Nightmare Fang responded. "I never thought I say this, but I WANT THE OLD FANG BACK!" Scott spoke. "I thought you said he was always like that in your dreams whenever you hit him?" B said. "Yes, but at least in the real world, Fang only wanted to eat me! He never cared about any of you!" Scott explained. "Seriously, this one is too nasty! Even for Lightning to handle!" Lightning said. "And his yapping is a pain!" Leshawna frowned. "Seriously, Grimmore just added a voice! That's kind of lame!" "Does anyone have any idea in how we'll survive this; because I did not poof my hair before starting this," Anne-Maria issued. "Great, my return to having an uninjured body, and now my pretty bod and face are gonna be chewed out," Justin moans. "Don't worry, just keep going up, we're getting close." Trent spoke from helping some of the others climb up more blocks. "How close, eh?" Ezekiel asked. "Ugh, 20 or so block stairs to climb." Trent nervously spoke in seeing they got almost 50 block rows of stairs to climb. "Well that's just fine and dandy, we'll be too tired to make it while avoiding THAT thing!" Jo rolled her eyes whilst pointing to Fang. "Hey guys, look, there’s some sheep up ahead!" Cody pointed in seeing nearby sheep that were above the next level. "They must be the sheep you count in your sleep, dream sheep I think?" Beth spoke. "Oh no; we gotta help them or they'll be eaten by the evil shark!" DJ cried. "You expect us to save a bunch of sheep?" Eva raised an eyebrow in hearing this. "Forget it! They can be lamb chops for all I care for!" Scott snapped. Suddenly, the sheep showed redder eyes, as their bodies glowed with blacken dark mist. Slowly they were turn into large human hybrid sheep creatures with enlarged horns. From their changes that came from some black sorcery, they were either black that carried giant hammers or red with flaming red fur to carry a giant axe. By their expressions, they were showing aggressive behavioral patterns, Dawn almost felt like the sheep were changed to creatures that lost their minds to even sensing they want to kill the crew. "Uh, do sheep usually grow so big and carry dangerous weapons?" Lindsay questioned. "Humans/Kill them/Slaughter them/Butcher them/Four legs good, two legs bad/Let's just kill them!" Many of the demonic sheep were speaking about wanting to kill the TDE group; then stopped for a moment as they looked at one sheep that said 'Four legs good, two legs bad!' They even shook their heads as most of them said, "Dude, seriously?" "What? It's a perfect line!" The sheep explained. "Oh my, they became filled with such blacken evil in their hearts, they are not even normal sheep anymore? How horrible," Dawn spoke from gasping at this terrible sight to where B comforted her. "Great, as if fleeing from a Demonic shark wasn't bad enough, now we have Demonic sheep to deal with!" Heather rolled her eyes. "Oh man, I hope we don't face Demonic chickens!" Tyler cringed at the idea of facing such evil little things. "Guys, we have to keep moving, Fang, or Nightmare Fang, is coming up!" Bridgette spoke. "I'm with ya Bridge, but how do we get by those guys and keep away from falling behind?" Geoff asked. "I got it! Brick, you still wearing your boots." Noah spoke in having a brain blast moment. "Just the ones on my real feet, the others from my pony form were thrown at Shadow Dragon, why do you ask?" Brick asked. "That's it! Your stinky boots can distract Nightmare Fang. They can act like shark-repellent!" Sam smiled. "It's risky; they might hold him for only so little." Cameron spoke in theorizing the fact that such a risky gamble has a 50 percent chance of being effective. "I vote for it!" Dakota raised up her hand to say she wants that to happen. Soon Brick takes off his boots, held them behind his back and... "Fire in the HOOOOLE," Brick announces this before he throws his pair of boots down by where Nightmare Fang was about to chop that area until... "Ugh! What is this?" Nightmare Fang cringe his nose. "Gaaaughh... it stinks!" "YES! VICTORY IS OURS!" Brick cheered in seeing that with that move, they have nothing to fear; the nightmare shark is detained for now. "Holy cow; I mean, holy Lambchops, here come those evil sheep!" Owen cried out to yelp in seeing those large, brutal looking sheep are coming down and getting in their way. "Heheheh, I have nothing to fear. Something, when I count sheep, I've even wrestled them to the ground." Izzy laughs off a bit crazy to mention this fact that made the others look to her weirdly. "Good enough for me, I've been itching to punch something and get my bad-boy mojo on!" Duncan smiled as he cracked his knuckles. "We need to climb higher to get over them and avoid their weapons, and the burning fur. Also, I suggest we use whatever these weird blocks to our feet work advantage." Harold explains. "We'll work with something, but just you know Harold... we got our eye on you!" Courtney glared at Harold. "Yo, how about we set aside our differences until we survive and get out of here!" B suggested. Seeing that any argument or personal matters set aside for now, the TDE group try to handle the evil Demonic sheep; for the most, some used their brains than their brawn muscles of just duking it out against the Black Demonic Sheep since the Red Demonic Sheep were literally on fire. Cameron, Harold, Noah and Cody tried the Red Sheep batch to follow them on either the ice to melt and they fell to the bottom of the bottomless void or step in oil to burn the trail which the last stuff wasn't too good. Then Izzy wrestled a Black Sheep to the point of steering him across the others to smack them off to fall to the bottom of the steps or fall into some weird black hole cubes which they appear to never return from. When Lightning was tackling, he sent some Red Sheep to a block that sprung a trap to which were spikes, and let's just say Lightning spilt his cookies from what he saw. "The Lightning is sick! Now that ain't right, even Chris doesn't play that game!" Lightning said. "Well, what did you expect? I dream in sadistic form!" Scott explained. Katie and Sadie were running from Black and Red Sheep creatures over some blocks with blue energy spheres, which began to tick and exploded that took care of them. Heather and Alejandro were cornered by Black Sheeps, but the girl yelped to slap the guy. "Ow! What was that for, among other reasons?" Alejandro asked. "You touched me with sticky hands!" Heather said, grossed out. "My hands are dry!" Alejandro showed his hands. "Then who...?" Heather looked behind to find that she was pushed from some strange block with A MOUTH WITH AN OPEN TONGUE! "Ugh, gross, it has a mouth!" She cringed from seeing this thing. ------------------------------------------------------------- Katie: This is certainly no Spyro, I will say that much... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "That's a mouth full, and speaking of a mouthful, why not tell me who your boyfriend is, just in case we don't make it out of this alive and we get rid of any regrets?" Alejandro said, smirking. "N-O; No; I'll die before I tell you!" Heather snapped. "That can be arranged!" A Black Sheep spoke. But when the Black Sheep touched a block row that was looking a bit cracky, it couldn't support their weight before breaking apart and they all fell down the abyss or down the flank of stairs. Alejandro and Heather sighed in relief; that was close. Heather considered pushing Alejandro off, but figured she'll let him live... for now. "Hah! Those two girls had them bombs go off that took off more of them blocks below that weaken the area, not bad!" Jo laughed off in seeing that what Katie & Sadie did made those doors fall prey to an event that lead to their downfall. Geoff was keeping Bridgette safe, but when the girl almost tripped to fall behind him, he swooped to swing her back while unintentionally knocking more evil sheep down. "Wow, nice kick off Geoff!" Bridgette said. "Couldn't have done it without you, babe!" Geoff smiled as they were about to lean in. "Save it love birds!" Eva snapped the two to not even begin kissing now. "Quickly, let's be off, eh." Ezekiel issued that they make their way to freedom without any post delays. Soon with a lot of the evil sheep knocked away or gone, the crew continues their climb. They heard some of the evil sheep sounding like Nightmare Fang was chomping on them; they prefer not to look back as it would be too horrible to watch. Right now, they were pretty much having a really good head start now. "Hah! At this rate, old Fang will be far behind by..." Scott started "Peek-a-boo! I EAT Yoooouuu!" Suddenly from below, something shot off to show a diving giant shark coming at the players. Scott screamed louder than the others as they dodged from a section of the stairs were knocked off or chewed out. "He just jumped and dived at us and completely knocked off the block of stairs below to catch up pretty quick!" Cody gasped in shock. "Man, I know predators that like to play with their food first, but I rather not be on the menu!" Sam stated. "His evil aura is coming; he's trying to come after us more fiercely." Dawn spoke to say but almost fell. "Whoa!" "Hang on Dawn, I gotcha!" B spoke to lift Dawn up to be near him, he won't let his girl fall into the jaws of death. "It's Scott he wants; maybe he'll be fine and leave us alone!" Courtney said. "Oh come on, what happened to put aside our differences until we get out of here?" Scott frowned. "Like you wouldn't try to cut the competition down a size," Duncan rolled his eyes. "Save it, let's just keep going!" Mike spoke to keep the two from fighting; they don’t have time for that. "Mike's right, the longer we argue; the better chance Fang will get us. Look!" Zoey nods in agreement, before pointing below for what they need to see. "I got pass your stinky boot defense, now I'm HUNGERING for some tasty morsels!" Nightmare Fang showed below again. From a scream from the group, the TDE crew quickly tries to flee up more blocks of stairs or move the blocks in positions to get them going. There were a few bumps along the way and wrong decisions and block position making in which the evil shark was getting closer that he was licking his lips; which terrified the bunch all the more. But just as it almost seemed hopeless, the gang stumble across some spring set block cubes that surprisingly shot them up high into the air to skip a few step levels. "HEY! NO FAIR! You found the spring cubes!" Nightmare Fang complained. Everyone then glared at Scott, who chuckled nervously. "I... never got this far in the nightmare." Soon much of the gang were luckily finding hidden spring blocks on the stairs to launch them up to soon be within four steps away from the door to freedom! With this in their sights, they were rushing without care or paying any attention to their surroundings to just reach... the door that will get them out of here. "FREEDOM; we can get to the next nightmare!" Sierra shouted out for joy. But once Tyler was there, he was pulling the door and then pushing it, but there was no luck; it wouldn't budge. "Hey, what gives? It's locked!" Tyler complained off in seeing their only means of escape is stuck tight. "LOCKED," The others shouted in disbelief, after coming this far, why? "Oh no; this is bad. Now what," Gwen asked off in panic. "There has to be a way to open it!" Trent questioned. "Wake up and smell REALITY! Grimmore tricked us!" Jo snapped. "Gosh! Why do really 'evil' bad guys have to be so much worse? That they make Duncan retire of being bad," Harold grasped his hands tightly. "Oh-oh, excuse me? You wanna start it up on our doomsday here?" Duncan remarked. "Wait, look!" Cameron stops the two from about to fight, as he points to four open square holes in the door. "There are four empty holes in the center of the door!" "So... what does that mean again?" Lindsay asked. "Of course; they're keyholes! We need to fit in the keys to unlock it!" Noah spoke off in realizing what this was, the door is locked because unless they use some term of key or keys, it won't open. "Problem, what could fit in those things?" Heather dryly asked. "Hey, they look like they have messages on them?" Izzy spoke in spotting something else that was label on the bottom of each hole, "Alicorn, Pegasus, Unicorn, and Earth?" Mike then figured it out. "Hey, maybe they are the Invincibility Statues!" "Okay, who has their statues, come on, we need them to open this and escape!" Brick demanded. "If any of you have them, then give them up before I beat you up and take them!" Eva threatened. "I have mine here!" Katie spoke off to show the Unicorn Invincibility Statue. "OMG, that’s right, Katie got hers from Noah who found it." Sadie said. "Heather also got hers too!" Leshawna points off who else has the same thing. "Heather?" The others (except the Unicorn team, and most who were eliminated) responded off in surprise to where Heather shows the Pegasus Invincibility statue now. "Ugh, fine, seeing as how we're getting close to the Final Twenty, these things won't help out anymore anyway!" Heather rolled her eyes to show her statue, like it'll matter since these things were good up to the Final Twenty of the game Chris hook them up in. "Then who has the Alicorn and Earth Pony statues?" Sam asked. "I do." B spoke off to show the Alicorn Invincibility statue to those around, "Me and Dawn found it within a few minutes as soon as she told me that Mike said the Invincibility Statues were in play." "Then that just leaves only one person with a statue, and it's..." Dawn was looking for the last person to help them out, but... "Hey, where's Scott?" Below the group, it would appear Scott was still 15 more block steps away from reaching the gang, but Nightmare Fang was catching up to him and he was panicking to scream in terror. "Oh no; If Scott goes, then we'll lose the only key he has to get to the next level!" Beth yelps in seeing the dilemma they now have here. "We got to go back to help him!" Mike stated in concern. "Help Scott, after what he's done to us!" Anne-Maria frowned. "Why are you upset? He didn't do anything to you." Dakota frowned. "I say we leave him and be shark food, he got Lightning framed!" Lightning protested. "But if we do, then we'll be no better than Chris in getting a sick enjoyment out of this!" DJ stated. "Better decide fast, because he's not gonna make it!" Dakota issued with a worried face. Nightmare Fang was vastly approaching Scott who was having a hard time trying to figure out how to set up a block stack to be acting more for him to climb, but some just fell and made it more complex than before. "Over the teeth and pass the gums, look out stomach, here SCOTT COOOOMEEES!" Nightmare Fang smiled off wickedly to slowly approach Scott to open his mouth of very, VERY sharp fangs, about to have a real... BITE! Scott screamed out in pure terror, he quickly tries to figure a way out of this. "Wait! Izzy, can you dream up something since you seem more in tune to doing so?" Owen spoke. The remaining Total Drama people still playing, hearing this, just face-palmed, "DUH!!!!!" "What do you need?" Izzy asked. "Dream me up the greasiest, beanies, gassiest meal you can imagine to let me rip it!" Owen asked. "Aye-Aye; There you go!" Izzy spoke off before making a really gassy burrito that was the size of an arm. "Owen, is this really the time for food?" Zoey asked. "Trust me, I got a plan, and if it fails, then I'm gonna totally die from doing this dare-devil act since my cliff-diving act in Season one!" Owen spoke as he ate the whole thing in one bite. Then Owen did it, he leaped off the steps to fall towards the evil shark below and where Scott was having no place to go. The group cried out to stare down in horror; has the fat guy lost it or what? Scott saw the action but slipped to begin falling straight into Fang’s open jaw mouth. "Oh goody, two for the price of one," Nightmare Fang smiled to open his jaw even wider now. "GOODBYE CRUUUUUEL WOOOOOOORLD!" Owen shouted off in announcing his farewell while he and Scott were seen wide eyes in about to fall into the dark abyss of a shark’s mouth. Then when Owen and Scott went in, Nightmare Fang shut his jaws with a large grin of evil in having eaten whole; two players now. The Total Drama crew was seen staring in shock, fear, and horror. They just witness the actual deaths of their friends and player competitors. This was a scene that was more cruel than anything Chris McClean would throw at them. ------------ With Chris & Chef, they saw the action to begin panicking, Owen & Scott are dead. HOW WILL THEY EXPLAIN THIS BACK HOME? "No-No-NOOOOO; TELL ME THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN!" Chris yelled. "Oh man, now we're REALLY up a creek without a paddle!" Chef yelped. "Oh man, Celestia is gonna freak out so much, after being turn into a frog and a woman, what will she do next?" Chris held his head. "Banish you to the ends of the Earth, by my guess." Chef said. "Wait, what is going on over there?" ---------------------------------- Meanwhile, as Nightmare Fang was done, he grins up at the others. But before he would move, he yelped from... feeling something not agreeing with him. "Look, Fang’s acting strange." Cameron noticed. "Stranger then how?" Lightning asked. Then suddenly, green mist escaped Nightmare Fang's mouth and nostril that made his eyes burn. And then he suddenly gagged out from having eaten something bad while letting out a large green mist cloud. But something was shot out of it and was rocketing towards the others above... it was... "YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH; BEEEEEAN POOOOOWEEEERRRRRRR," Owen roared out while he let a really big rip from his behind of gassy fuse while holding onto Scott, who held his mouth for dear life. "OWEN!" The others shouted for joy in seeing their fat gassy friend was not gone. --------------------------------------------------------------- Chris and Chef saw that stunt, and began to rejoice for joy. "THEY’RE ALIVE! HA-HA! YES! I’m not done in after all!" Chris cheered in dancing a little dance of happiness. "Wow, the kid's got powerful gas to pull that off!" Chef responded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Soon the scene returns to Owen landing near his friends while dropping Scott. The gang crowds the fat boy like a crowned hero of the hour. "Owen! You big tubby guy! That was so crazy and insane; I loved every second of it!" Izzy smiled off to hug her man that she loves. "Ah, shucks, it was nothing!" Owen shrugged. "Speak for yourself! You have any idea how much of that fart of yours I inhaled?" Scott was coughing up from inhaling much of Owen’s gassy behind. "Can it and put your statue in the door to get it open!" Eva snapped at Scott. "Unless you wanna tussle with Nightmare Fang some more," Leshawna points off with a sly face to remind the guy of this. Hearing that made Scott flinch out before quickly putting his statue in the last open spot on the door; The scene shows it lit up, and then the gang push it open to suddenly find and opening ray of light. "Hurry, get in! This is a safe spot I put in the middle of the maze!" Luna’s voice shouted out. "That's Luna's voice!" Beth stated in knowing the voice. "Wait, what will happen to the others?" Bridgette asked, realizing she would be separated from her love. "We're sending them back; it's surprising THEY were magically brought here. Now hurry!" Discord’s voice explained. "Guess this is goodbye for now, Bridgey-bear," Geoff spoke off to look to his love to say this. "Until we meet again, Dakota," Sam patted his love’s hand as Dakota blushed. "Ugh, like we need a romantic moment in Scott's hellish place!" Eva rolled her eyes in feeling sick enough from this mushy stuff. Alejandro gave a smirk as he was about to hug Heather. "If my boyfriend sees this, he'll have your hide." Alejandro yelped as he got away. "He'll kill me?" "Torture you." Heather said as Alejandro backed away. Then a loud shark of a Demonic roar was heard that shook the room that made everyone flinch with worry and fear now. "Oh no," Courtney yelped. "There's no way he..." Duncan was about to deny this, but that was not the case. "I WON'T LET YOU ESCAAAAAAAAPE!" Nightmare Fang was seen as he leaped above to be seen above like a giant killer whale about to pounce. "I'LL FEAST ON YOUR SOOOOOOOULS! YOU'RE MIIIIIIIIIINE!" He shouted out a voice that shook the entire area while about to draw closer to the gang. "WHY CAN'T I EVER GET A BREAK?" Scott screamed out in his hair almost turn white in fear of seeing this guy won't just leave him be. "QUICK! THE DOOR," Gwen shouted. "RUUUUUN," Trent yelled. Soon the cast ran and some get pulled by Luna & Discord's magic on the other side. Nightmare Fang tries to go after them, but the white light from the door was blasting against him as he came close to it. It was burning the evil nightmarish version of Fang the Shark to which it was causing a solar charged shockwave to be unleashed. All that was heard from Nightmare Fang was his agonizing wail cry, as he was fading back into nothingness. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In another room, we see the remaining Total Drama contestants as they saw Luna and Discord sitting in front of them. "Thank goodness! When we saw you disappeared, we got worried!" Luna said. "What happened back there?" Discord asked. The Total Drama cast then decided to explain what happened. Luna then looked down. "I see. Sorry to put you through all this. I had no idea I inserted those dreams... and I had no idea Grimmore would rig Scott's dream to end up like that..." "It’s all right." Dawn said. "We know you didn't mean to do it..." Luna and Discord smiled, knowing they were all right. "Good. Well, we won't count the Shadow Dragon or Grimmore dreams for this challenge... for now, take a break here... but whenever you're ready; head through this door." Luna then pointed towards another door. "It'll lead you to the next nightmare. Don't worry; in the Realm of Dreams, time won't flow, so take much time as you need." "We'll be going back to Chris and Chef!" Discord said as he teleported. Luna nodded as she went off. The Total Drama gang smiled as they decided to sit down. Looks like they'll need all the rest they need... ----------------------------------------------------------- Back with Chris and Chef, they looked over as Luna and Discord came back. "Well, that was an adventure!" Chris said. "Luna, you're an idiot for putting those dreams in there in the first place!" "Sorry, I thought they were a good idea..." Luna sighed. "Well, no matter now." Chris said. "They're all safe, and we can continue the nightmares portion! By the way, mental note, in case they don't win, Katie, Scott, Heather and B are immune because even though their statues are gone, they still have that sense of Immunity for one more day!" "Fine..." Luna said. "Okay, let them take their break... but when they're ready, Chef, keep an eye on them!" "Right," Chef nodded. "As for us..." Chris said as Discord pulled out a drill. "We have a door to crack!" Luna nodded as she turned towards Celestia's door. They were so busy with getting the contestants to escape; the door nearly slipped her mind. She nodded. "Let's get to work!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretty soon, everyone had pretty much recovered as they got up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather: Well, I think we've recovered a lot that I think we're ready to continue on with the maze... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Come on, we better get a move on." Noah said as he took Katie by the hand. Everyone nodded as they decided to stick with their partner, as they opened the door to their next dream. As soon as they headed into the next room, they noticed they were back in pony form. They looked around to notice they were in a field of demonic flowers. "Demonic flowers..." Heather noted as she noticed a lot of animals running by, with white foam on their mouths. "Rabid animals..." "Gee, I wonder whose dream THIS is..." Scott said sarcastically. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn: Fluttershy's dream... seems we've started to hit the hardcore part of these dreams. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the Total Drama contestants started walking around, they notice Fluttershy was acting differently... acting like... a bat with larger wings. "Some motherbucker's going to pay for their deeds!" Fluttershy... or rather, the Flutterbat... growled. The Total Drama gang yelped as Dawn said, "Fluttershy's dream has to involve her being all powerful... and it's a nightmare that she's in deep; Really, REALLY deep." "So, how do we snap her out of it?" Beth asked. "We can't." Dawn sighed. "Unless..." Dawn then whispered in Trent and Gwen's ears as Trent said, "I don't know... do you think she'd have a change of heart if we do that?" "Could be our best shot..." Dawn sighed. "Well, here goes nothing." Gwen said as she started to head towards the evil Flutterbat. "Flutterbat, I have some bad news." Gwen said. "What is it?" Flutterbat snapped, with an evil glare. "It is about... Angel. I am afraid that Angel has died of... cancer." Gwen sighed. Flutterbat then stopped laughing evilly as her eyes then gave a look of horror... as she was now changing back to Fluttershy. "Angel? No..." Fluttershy then started to cry, "Angel, my bunny! Have I not taken good care of you?" "Okay, that worked." Gwen nodded. Trent then came down to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, relax. Angel's not really dead. We just said that to snap you out of your evil state!" Trent said. "See, Angel's fine!" Heather said, pointing to a nearby rabbit, munching on a carrot. Fluttershy looked up and gave a big smile. "Angel! Oh, thank you, my friends!" Fluttershy then looked around the Total Drama contestants. "But what are you doing in... my own dreams?" "Long story short, we came with a message." Gwen sighed. "Celestia and Luna aren't robots, Chris is not a murderer, and if you don't believe us, talk with your other friends." Fluttershy blinked. "Is that it?" "That's it." Noah said as the door appeared. "We should be getting along. We'll see you later." "By the way, rabid animals; Not one of your best," Heather said as the others started to leave. "Okay, good-bye." Fluttershy waved as she pondered in thought. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Noah: (nods) well so far, everything appeared to be good... until... (Sighs) Just look ahead... --------------------------------------------------------------------- The next room, the Total Drama cast have noticed that they were human once again... then again, they were getting used to the transformations by now... Katie then looked around as she noticed a huge gym where everyone was lining up for some event. "So... which person's nightmare involved a gym class?" Heather, hearing this, facepalmed, "Think, Katie. The person who has THIS nightmare has mentioned to never liking sports. He happens to be your boyfriend as well." Katie sighs. "I know. I was just wondering what took so long for Noah's nightmare." "There he is, in the way, way back!" Sadie said, pointing to a very young Noah in the way, way back. Noah was looking around, really nervous as he was clearly the shortest of the bunch. The more taller students gave evil smirks as they were holding dodgeballs. Noah's thoughts were as follows; "Oh crap... this is not going to end well..." "Noah, dodge the balls!" Katie yelled. Noah shut his eyes as he tried to focus on Katie's voice. Noah nodded as he tried walking, avoiding the dodgeballs as he kept hearing that gym whistle. "This... is why... I hate... sports!" Noah panted as he kept walking, occasionally getting hit with a dodgeball. "This... isn't... fun!" "Just keep focused, Noah!" Katie called. "Come to me!" "I'm trying, Katie-Kat, I'm trying!" Noah called as he kept being pelted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gwen: It's amazing that both Noah and Katie's relationship is that connected that they're already calling each other by nicknames. (Sighs) Yeah, you can tell it's that big. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretty soon, Noah panted as he grabbed Katie's hand. Katie pulled Noah closer as she stroked his hair. "It's all right, it's all over..." "That was a horrible ordeal!" Noah panted. "I never want to do that again, EVER!" Scott started to whistle a bit as he was writing something down. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott: Really going to have some potential later on... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Come on, there's the next door." Katie said as she pointed to the door. Everyone nodded as they started to go in, getting ready for whatever it was they were about to face. Pretty soon, they were back to pony form... and they noticed they were in a white room. "Which of the Mane Six's dreams... are we in, exactly?" Gwen said. "This doesn't seem... nightmarish..." "Hey, look, there's Pinkie!" Izzy smiled as she noticed Pinkie Pie was sitting down, riding a small quarter operated kiddie ride, "Hi, Pinkie!" "Oh, hi Izzy! What's up?" Pinkie smiled as she was sitting down. "Oh, we're just... dream hopping." Izzy smiled, "Hoping to cure nightmares. By the way, isn't this your nightmare?" "Yeah, I suppose it is." Pinkie said. "But I don't really know what I'm scared of, so I'm waiting until it comes..." Everyone blinked as they looked at each other. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leshawna: Me thinks Pinkie's nightmare is that she doesn't have a nightmare. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you telling me that we have to make up something to scare Pinkie, then cure it?" Heather raised an eyebrow. "It's possible..." Izzy shrugged. "Okay, it's crazy logic, but let's go for it." B said. Dawn nodded as she turned to Pinkie. "You know, Pinkie, anything could jump out at any second. This is a dream, after all." "I know." Pinkie said, not paying attention. "We're serious." Gwen said as she started to summon something from her horn. "Why... NIGHTMARE MOON MAY BE LURKING AROUND THE CORNER!" Gwen then summoned Nightmare Moon as she yelled, "YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES!" Pinkie, yawning, said, "So what else is new?" Everyone stared in shock. Noah paused, as he snapped his hooves, "Got it!" Noah then turned to Pinkie as he said, "How about this..." Noah then flew up in the air as he started to imagine a big skyscraper... on fire. "Pinkie, there's a building on fire! People aren't smiling because they're in danger!" Pinkie, with a bored expression, took a big, deep breath, and blew the skyscraper off the scene. Noah's eyes widened. Everyone paused as they started to huddle. After a few moments of conversing, they nodded as they turned back to Pinkie as they were now wearing zombie make-up. "AGH," Everyone moaned as they were impersonating zombies. "We are zombies, and we want to eat your brains!" "Nice impressions." Pinkie clapped. Everyone stared in shock. They sighed as Izzy said, "Oh forget it. Let's just use a pass on this one." "Pass, pass, pass," Everyone sighed. "Sorry we couldn't find a nightmare for you, Pinkie." Izzy said. "That's okay." Pinkie smiled. "And no need to tell me what's really happening in your crazy minds, I read the script ahead of time." Izzy nodded. "Well, at least we tried. Anyway, Pinkie, we're just going to head into another nightmare." "You're pretty hopeless, you know that." Tyler said as everyone started to head towards the door. "I know. Sorry you couldn't get a nightmare out." Pinkie waved as everyone started to leave. It was then Pinkie realized that the kiddie ride she was on halted. Pinkie reached into her pocket and pulls out another quarter and goes to put it in the slot, but accidentally drops it and it rolls away. "Oh!!!" Pinkie could only watch as the quarter rolled right into a grate. Pinkie sighed. "Shoot; that was my last quarter." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eva: Well, Pinkie's dream was a bust. At least we can stay focused on the other nightmares... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The next dream, in which the Total Drama contestants were back to their human forms, happened to take place in a fair. Tyler yelped as Lindsay noticed. "Is this your nightmare, Tyler? Looks like a pretty fun fair!" "Hey, isn't that you at a younger age?" Sierra said, pointing to a young Tyler, who happened to be wearing a red shirt and blue shorts. He seemed to be pretty excited. "That's me..." Tyler said. "Welcome to the Chicken Judge Fair..." "Chicken Judge Fair!" Sierra gasped. "Oh my gosh, I went there when I was a kid! Boy, I had a lot of exciting times there... there was one bad time, but the rest was great!" Gwen paused as she asked, "Tyler... is this where your fear of chickens originated?" Tyler gulped. "Yes... but where it started... was... well, watch..." Everyone sat down and watched as a young Tyler was looking inside the pen of chickens, the boy excited to pet the chickens... but nervous at the same time. He looked up to some man next to him (which everyone watching assumed that was his father... well, Tyler KNEW that was his father) as the man said, "Don't be shy, son. You're next." The young Tyler nodded as he started to walk inside the pen as they closed it, "One kid at a time, one kid at a time!" The young Tyler kept walking and walking nervously as he tried to spot a chicken. He thought he heard another kid trying to get in, but he didn't pay it any mind. Tyler then noticed a chicken clucking. Tyler became close to touching the chicken... "I can't relive it!" The present Tyler frowned as he shut his eyes. "YEE HAW," Someone said as all the chickens started clucking and running around in a panic. The young Tyler screamed like a little girl as he started to run out of the pen and right into his father's arms. His father, confused, asked, "Son, what happened?" "Pass, pass, pass," Tyler sighed. "Tyler, come on! Can't we at least help..." Gwen started. "No, I'm sorry. What happened was traumatizing, and I never want to speak about it!" Tyler said. "Shame..." Sierra said. "You know, I do remember some kid screaming and shouting when I came into the pen..." Cody, hearing this, looked at Sierra. "Sierra... you didn't happen to say Yee Haw when you went to see the chickens did you?" Sierra chuckled nervously. "I may have been a rebellious kid when I was younger..." "Come on, there's the next door..." Gwen said as everyone nodded. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tyler: Well, now everybody knows why I'm afraid of chickens. They started panicking and... I fled, scared. I was traumatized by the events; I didn't want to talk about it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As soon as everybody went through the door... they looked around... and realized they were in the same fair grounds. "What? I thought I was done with this!" Tyler said. "Well, since we're still in Tyler's dream... look, look, there's me!" Sierra said in excitement as she pointed to a younger version of Sierra, who happened to have a ponytail, and a blue tank top and green shorts. "Man, was I so excited, just to play around with the chickens! You know, I never noticed I was right behind Tyler!" "You were WHAT?" Everyone, including Tyler said as they looked over. Indeed, Sierra was next in line after Tyler came in. The young Sierra sighed impatiently as she looked in. "Come on, come on, I wanna see the chickens!" "One at a time, miss." The man said as he started to leave. The young Sierra sighed as she pouted. "You were a cute kid back then, Sierra." Cody chuckled. "Aww, thanks, Cody," Sierra said, hugging Cody. "Hey, now that I think about it..." "Now that I think about it..." Tyler said. "Sierra, you said that one bad thing happened while you were in the Chicken Judge Fair. What exactly was that?" "It was traumatizing, I didn't even remember what it was." Sierra said. "Oh well, I'm sure it'll come to me..." "Hey, Sierra... is your younger self LIFTING the lock?" Lindsay said, pointing back to the line. Indeed, the younger Sierra was on her tip toes as she lifted the lock and pushed it forward. The younger Sierra then smirked as she said, "Excuse me, excuse me, I'm the new chicken monitor here! I think I may have left my mirror there... and..." The younger Sierra laughed crazily as she yelled, "YEE HAW!" That caused the chickens to go into a panic... as we later see the young Tyler screaming back into his dad's arms. Tyler glared at Sierra. "So let me get this straight. The reason I'm afraid of chickens was because you were a rebellious kid who was impatient and couldn't wait her turn?" Sierra looked down. "Sorry..." Tyler smiled. "Oh well, not your fault. I think I understand that now..." Back in the chicken pen, past Sierra was laughing as she was running around the chicken pen, chasing chickens everywhere... until she froze in her tracks. "Huh? What the-?" Sierra looked over and gasped in horror as she shook nervously. "Now I remember what bad thing I experienced; Birdzilla!" "Birdzilla," Everyone blinked in confusion as they turned back to the chicken pen. Past Sierra looked really scared as she saw a huge turkey, about the size of the chickens, walking around as he noticed past Sierra. Sierra was about to take a step towards the turkey... when the turkey gave a threatening gobble-gobble. Past Sierra screamed as she started to run, "HELP! IT'S BIRDZILLA!" As Past Sierra ran out of the pen, she screamed, "I SWEAR I WILL NEVER EAT ANOTHER MCNUGGET AGAIN!" Everyone laughed as Cody noticed present Sierra holding her arms. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sierra: (shaking badly) those talons... that neck... that was no chicken... Birdzilla is never a chicken... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you telling me you were afraid of a turkey as a kid?" Cody said. "That's not a turkey, that's Birdzilla. Turkey is what you eat on the table." Sierra shook. "Sierra, look," Cody said as he kneeled down before Sierra. "Sure, he looks a little threatening, but let's faced it; it's a little silly, isn't it?" "No, it's not silly! Birdzilla is a monster, and I never want to relive it!" Sierra shook. "You're afraid of a turkey." Scott said. "That's not a nightmare, that's an embarrassing childhood trauma." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tyler: Suddenly, my fear of chickens feels silly compared to Sierra's fear of turkeys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I never want to see Birdzilla, I don't care what you call it, it's Birdzilla to me!" Sierra said, shaking. Scott gave a smirk, writing something down. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay: Poor Sierra. Well, as her friend, we have to support her in any way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Just stay with us, Sierra; don't worry, Birdzilla or his brethren won't get you." Cody said as he patted Sierra's mane. Sierra paused. "If you say so..." "Come on, we better get going..." Cody said as they started to head towards the next door. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are we getting there?" Chris asked. "Close... to breaking... the lock," Discord said as he was pushing a screwdriver into the door. Discord then fell backwards as Princess Luna sighed. "It's no use..." Chef, nearby, sighed as he got up and came over to the people. Chef then pulled out a credit card, put it on the door's hinges, and swiped it to get the door opened. "There, your door's open. Happy?" "Oh. That... works." Princess Luna said. Chris chuckled nervously as Discord frowned. "I was going to do that... eventually." Princess Luna said. "And now, once and for all, we're going to SEE just what is it Celestia is hiding from me!" "I'm going to come too! To do a little taunting," Chris smirked. Luna glared at Chris, who shrunk, "But not too much." "And I, as a personal friend of Celestia's, am curious to know what's inside, so I'm coming too." Discord smiled. "Fine," Luna said. "Chef, stay here and keep an eye on the contestants. Once they get done with the last room, we'll give the rewards then we'll do the elimination ceremony!" "Aye aye, boss!" Chef saluted as Chris, Discord and Luna went inside the door. Chef nodded as he kept an eye on the monitors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, back with the TD players, they all arrived at a familiar camp. "Camp Wawanakwa," Cody asked with a yelp. "I thought this island sank to the bottom thanks to Chef's careless drilling!" "This is a dream, but the question is, whose is it?" Gwen asked, curiously. A roar is heard, making the others concerned. Brick mumbled, "We may find out." The kids yelped as the ground shook a bit. To their shock, something big came out of the forest...a familiar huge idol who roars in fury. "Wait, isn't that the idol that Beth once took from Boney Island that made her team cursed?!" Sierra asked, recognizing the idol. "Yeah, and it led to her being eliminated afterwards!" Trent yelped a bit. "Oh no, no; this is my nightmare...my stupid idea to take that idol that got me eliminated!" Beth exclaims in terror and fear. -------------------------------- Beth: Ever since I could remember, I keep having nightmares of that idol haunting me, reminding me of my mistake. ------------------------------- "YOU TOOK ME FROM MY PLACE, NOW BE CURSED!!!!" The idol booms as it jump up. "Get out of the way!" Leshawna calls out in worry as she pushes Beth out of the way. Beth landed, getting up as she hears a stomping noise. The girl gasps as the idol stomps where she was...as well as her fellow players. "No! The curse took my friends!" Beth exclaims in terror and guilt. First the idol had causes her team to lose until her elimination, now it took the other players! "Noooooww you will die!" The idol booms to Beth, preparing to assault her. Beth shakes then screams as she rushes to a nearby door, escaping the dream. But had she stayed around, the girl would've seen a familiar sight. "Hey, it’s okay, we're safe!" Lindsay calls out to Beth. The idol had missed the group luckily. "Beth?" "Oh great. She took a powder." Scott remarks in annoyance as she saw the door that Beth escaped through. "Well, looks like Beth has failed." Gwen said with a sigh, "Time for us to go after her." "ROOOOOOOOAR," The idol roars at the players madly until.... "Oh, knock it off!" Heather snapped at the idol in irritation. "Sorry." The idol said sheepishly as the gang heads out through the door. The players find Beth, trembling and holding herself. She looks up and saw them, saying, "Guys, you're alive." "The idol missed." Ezekiel adds to Beth with a nod. "It’s okay, Beth; You know that you didn't mean to curse your team back in Season 1." Dawn said to Beth with a smile. "No one's upset at you." "Speak for yourself!" Heather snaps, still bitter over the idol's curse haunting her and her team and it was because Beth brought it on her and the team in the first place. "Don't make me call you what I called you before, in front of those who never heard it before." Lindsay said while glaring at Heather, not liking her attitude towards her best friend Beth. "Beth, I know, it's true that some of us voted you out because of that...but now that we think of it, it isn't really your fault." Gwen said with a smile, patting Beth on the back. "It was Chris's. He didn't tell you about not bringing anything back from Boney Island back then." Trent points out a fact to Beth. Had Chris told her about not taking anything from Boney Island in the first place, she would've stayed longer in the game and not inflicted the curse at all. Beth wipes her eyed, smiling in hope. She said, "Y-y-yeah, I guess you're right. Now I think of it, Chris was the real jerk." "It's okay, Beth. You got friends here." Leshawna insists while hugging the girl. "Well, I guess I do owe you an apology." Heather said to Beth in regret. "I guess using you and Lindsay...you didn't mean to curse me and the others. I was a jerk, I apologize. I know you probably won't take me back...but maybe if we could give our little friendship another start...that would be good." "If you really mean it, then of course we can be friends again." Lindsay said with a smile, "After all, I did like how you give Al a kick in the nuts." "Yeah...same here." Beth said while hugging Heather a bit. The girl looks a bit uncomfortable then hugs her back. "Okay, Beth, personal space, personal space..." Heather said as Beth lets go of her reinstated friend. -------------- Heather: Am I turning into a good guy for real; Geez, that seems a bit...OoC for me. I got time to think about this. ---------------- Beth: It is shocking being friends with Heather again after so long. (Pauses) But if she's willing to apologize, I can give her a chance. I just hope I don't blow it like Gwen and Courtney did. ------------- "Well, now that's settled, where are we now?" Noah asked as the players see themselves in a forest. Before anyone could respond, a familiar voice is heard roaring, "COOOOOODYYYY!" "Sierra, don't yell, I'm right here." Cody said to Sierra with an annoyed sigh. "I didn't say anything." Sierra said to Cody in confusion. Suddenly, the ground shook again, making Harold groans, "Aw crap; Now what?" To the gang's shock, some trees got knocked aside...revealing a huge Sierra roaring, "NO ONE TAKES MY CODY!" "Oh, crap! This is my nightmare!" Cody exclaims in realization, "A mad Sierra!!" "Is this how you feel about me?" Sierra asked Cody, stunned upon hearing that. "Well, if you were still a stalking mad girl...then yeah, but you changed, right?" Cody asked Sierra awkwardly. "Duck," Sam yelled out. Most of the gang ducks as the giant Sierra II made a grab for Gwen and Sadie. "Crush Gwen and Sadie," Sierra II roared out in fury, preparing to crush the ones she felt tried to take her Cody-kins away. "Cody's mine!" "Leave them alone!" Sierra snapped as she rushes over and hit the giant version of herself in the leg. But the mad double grabs the real one with her right hand. "Hey!" "Sierra mad at Sierra," Sierra roared out in fury. Cody is freaked out. He doesn't know what to do. --------------- Cody: What to do? The girls I know and only one that truly likes me is captured. --------------- Dawn then have an idea. She then spoke to Cody, "Cody! Remember when you told us that you have a speech prepared in case Sierra is still acting this way?" Cody gasped in realization, "Hey, you're right! I thought of a really harsh version of it, too, in case Sierra was to be eliminated while STILL being the crazed stalker!" "Well, say it, say it now!" Dawn exclaimed. "It's the only way to face your fear." Cody nodded then turned, yelling out, "Sierra!" Sierra II growls while the original ask, "Yeah, Cody?" "No, not you, Sierra, the big Sierra," Cody pointed out to the good Sierra. "But you may wanna cover your ears for this next part." The girl getting the idea manages to cover her own ears. "Big Sierra, I got something I wanna say to you!" "Grrrr," Sierra II demands wanting to know what her 'Cody-kins' wanted to say to her. "I know how much you are really, really obsessed with me, but you've GOT to listen to me!" Cody shouted angrily, "You've been obsessing with my stuff, and I noticed that you've been wanting to murder other girls whenever they hang out with me, but you are being a PARANOID CREEPAZOID!!! The reason why they hang out with me is because WE'RE ONLY FRIENDS, DAMN IT!!!" As Cody shouted, his tone became more and more harsh. "And the thing about you calling certain animals you find our 'kids' is even CREEPIER AND EVEN STUPID!! And calling Gwen 'New Heather' is hurtful and harsh, and IT'S NOT NICE AT ALL, YOU F(BLEEP)KING BITCH!!! So get this through your thick, stalking skull: YOU'RE SO ANNOYING AND UGLY, YOU SCARE ME EVERY TIME!!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE!!! I! DON'T! LIKE; YOU!!!" Sierra II gasped in shock and horror at hearing these, "But Cody-kins!" She said in a hurt tone. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!" Cody yelled harshly, "IT'S GETTING ON MY NERVES!!! DON"T YOU GET IT?! I'M TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM YOU! I'M NOT YOUR PROPERTY, YOUR BOYFRIEND OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU THINK OF THAT INVOLVES ME! NOW JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND GET YOUR OWN LIFE!!!!!" Sierra II's eyes twitched at this and then she screamed madly...before blowing up. Gwen, Sadie and Sierra yelped as they fell downward, but luckily Trent, Katie and Cody caught them in time. "Gotcha," Trent exclaimed to Gwen with a grin. "Cody-kins, you saved us!" Sierra exclaimed, hugging Cody. After she stops, the girl asks in concern, "What did you say to my big self?" "Something off my chest and something I preferred not to repeat again anytime soon." Cody said with a chuckle. At least he's relieved knowing that he finally got what he wanted to say off his chest and that the real Sierra is changing her stalking ways." "Ah. Well, I'm making a point to continue being my new self." Sierra said with a chuckle. ---------------- Sierra: I don't know what Cody said to Big Bad Sierra II, but I'm luckily that I didn't hear it! ----------------- Cody: I am relieved to get that off my chest. I just hope no one will take advantage of it. ----------------- Scott: (writes down in a notepad) Oh yeah, I got to figure out how to use that to my advantage. (Evil laughter) Heh heh heh. --------------- "You are indeed a true hero, Cody." Sierra giggles, patting Cody on the back, making him blush. "Oh brother; why don't you two kiss already?" Scott asks the two mockingly. "I think we will." Cody said smugly towards Scott before he did the unexpected... grab Sierra and kiss her on the lips! The gang gasps as Noah exclaims, "Oh my gosh!" "Wow, just like me and Tyler...except the whole stalking stuff!" Lindsay remarks with a giggle. Scott rolls his eyes as the two finishes kissing, smiling. The boy makes it a point to figure out how to deal with this problem later. "There's the next door." Eva said, spotting a door nearby. "Let's get while the getting's good." The group enters a door with Sierra and Cody holding hands. ----------- Sierra: (squeals) Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Cody finally kissed me! Oh my... (Calms down) Okay. I'm calm. Remember, Sierra, baby steps... ------------------ The group now enters some sort of dojo. Bridgette, noting the ninja style, spoke, "I'm thinking that this is Harold's nightmare." "Feels like either Parappa the Rapper or Naruto or Street Fighter or something." Izzy remarked. "Or maybe the bad ninja movies seen on MST3K," Katie exclaimed. Sure enough, puffs of smoke appears as ninjas with weapons appear, shouting something in Japanese. Brick spoke up, "Okay, what are these guys saying?" "They're going to kick our ass." Tyler said in worry. Harold narrows his eyes then dreams himself to be a ninja, holding out nunchucks, speaking in a Japanese nightmare. "Oh yeah, Harold baby!" Leshawna exclaims with a smirk. "Go get them!" "Yeah, kick some butt!" Cody exclaimed eagerly. Harold yells as he jumps in, fighting off the ninjas like mad, kicking their butts big time. The others look amazed as Leshawna cheers on. "Wow. If Harold had done back, he would've made it to the Final Two back in Season 1." Lindsay remarks in amazement. "Yeah, though he would've still been a threat back then." Sadie comments. Harold grinned as he stood on top of the pile, speaking in Japanese then cleared his throat before he spoke, "Booyah!" "Oh yeah! You did good, Harold, baby!" Leshawna exclaims, hugging her man making him grin. "Yeah, same here; Thought this was going to be a long one but you sure handle your fear." B comments at the fallen ninjas on the ground. "Yeah, I probably did back in Season 1...but Chris didn't count that in the Fears game." Harold admits with a slight chuckle. ------------ Harold: (grins) eat your heart out, Chrissy. ----------------- "Well, there's the next door." Gwen said as the gang spots the next door. "Hopefully we can get these dumb challenges done soon." "Yeah, that I agree," Trent comments as the gang enters the next door. ------------------------------ Eva: Okay, from the looks of things, only Rainbow and Applejack are the only ponies from Equestria left to be explored. And then, there's Brick, Ezekiel, Bridgette and Heather. This oughta be good. ----------------------- The group, ponies again, enters some sort of foggy room area, pondering as to where they are now. "I wonder where we are now." Izzy giggles like a fool. "Wow....soooooo much fog." "We must be somewhere close but where?" Brick ask in concern. "Daddy, please, come back, daddy, I don't wanna lose you..." A familiar voice whimpers. The group saw what appears to be a familiar filly version of Rainbow trying to get through but is blocked by a force field. "Looks like Rainbow's dream." Noah said in observation. "I wonder what memory or nightmare is this." The gang came over; they knew that if they themselves helped Rainbow, it will be one step forward to winning. Gwen spoke, "Rainbow?" "Oh, hey guys." Rainbow whimpers a bit in sadness. "What's wrong, Rainbow?" "Daddy..." "Does this have something to do with your father, Rainbow?" Beth asks Rainbow sadly. "Is he dead..." "No, he's over there." Rainbow said. She points a hoof to some sort of brown haired human on the other side of the force field, working in a room inside a house. The man doesn't seem to see her or the others. "Wait, your dad is a human?" Eva asks Rainbow puzzled. "What the hay gives here?" "So what's the story with the human being?" Bridgette asks Rainbow, petting her mane gently. "You can tell us." "Well, you see, years ago...I think it was sometime before the Canterlot Wedding, I don't remember the right time, a spell cast by my pal Twilight Sparkle send me to a world where my adventures are part of a TV show...and I was turned into a filly, with no memories of my past...a man named Timothy Tyler...he found me and took me in, raise me as a daughter." Rainbow sniffs a bit, explaining her story. "We had some rough parts...but he became a father that I didn't have but I still care for. Then, my friends came, return me home...and restore my memories. But I remember my daddy...and how I missed him so." ----------------- Bridgette: It's so sad. Rainbow misses the human who raised her, like he was a daddy to him...and this nightmare shows how separation can hurt a pony. ------------ "Daddy...he doesn't see me...he may not love me anymore." Rainbow said in sadness, looking at her adopted father, fearing that him not seeing her means that he doesn't love her anymore. "The princess has erased any traces of me in his world...but..." "Of course he loves you, Dashie." Trent said with a smile. "Just because you haven't seen him since you left his world, doesn't mean he doesn't love you; As long as you remember him in your heart...then I betcha so does he." "Right, did the princess allow him to keep his memories of you?" Katie asks Rainbow, making her nod slowly. "Then as long as your father remembers you, he will love you like a daughter forever." "Yeah, absence makes the heart grow fonder...in family or love." Ezekiel remarks with a smile. Rainbow sniffs and smiles. She spoke, "Yeah, you guys are right. My father will always remember me and will care for me no matter how far we are apart..." "And the force field is you worrying that you will never see him again. Take it down with your dreams." B instructs Rainbow gently. "Then nothing can stop you from getting back to him!" Rainbow didn't waste any time as she focuses then steps forward. To her happiness, the force field is gone, without her being stopped. The filly laughs as she gallops over to Timothy who looks up and saw her at last. The man smiles as he picks Rainbow up, hugging her. "Thanks, guys!" Rainbow exclaims to the TD ponies with a giggle. "I will remember this! As long as I remember and care for my adopted daddy, he will always be in my heart." "You're welcome. We gotta get going." Harold said as the gang heads to a door, "Oh, one more thing! The princesses and our absent friends aren't dead, Chris was lying about the whole thing; you are safe." "Okay, I will make sure to remember that." The gang goes through the next door, entering the next area. ------------------------------- Harold: Yeah, it's very nice to see Rainbow happy like that and helping her remember that as long as she and her adopted daddy remember each other, then they will always have each other. ------------------------------- The group, back to their human selves, enters some sort of bunk bed area. Brick yelps in worry, looking around. "Oh, let me guess: this is your dream, right?" Leshawna ask Brick in notice. "Yes...and it was the one that I dread that we have to do." Brick said in worry. "You see... "Well, who's that?" Tyler asks in concern. The gang turns to see a sergeant like person coming over, stomping to the group like men. "Oh no; It's my old tough as Hell sergeant!" "No way," Some of the group exclaims in horror. Brick's nightmare is his sergeant?! "LADIES AND GENTLEMEEEEEEN," The sergeant growls as he stops in front of the group, making them yelps as they stood in attention. "Welcome to Hell." "No way," Trent whimpers a bit. "WHAT WAS THAT?!" "I said 'no way, sir'!" "Oh, yes, that's what I thought you said. You, as well as that wimp Brick are in my camp now so you do what I said or else!" The sergeant demands evilly to the 'recruits'. "Oh yeah, right; Like some old guy can freak me out," Scott mumbles but yelps as the sergeant stomps on his foot. "OUCH!" "All right, you pansies! Get down and give me infinity." The sergeant orders, making the TD players yelp and drop down, doing push-ups. As they do, the mean nightmare paces back and forth, insulting them, "You stupid, pathetic, craven little cretins. You petty, base, bully-bullocked bugger billies! You're not strong! You're silky-boys and girls... " "Ugh, there's no way I can possibly do infinity push-ups." Cody said to the others with a deep frown. "Maybe if he lets us do them girly-style." Lindsay suggests cluelessly. "I don't think I can do this." Brick said, whimpering a bit like mad. "Look, let's drop this. As long as some of my team wins immunity, it doesn't matter right?" Eva suggests to Brick. The others nod in agreement, then quickly got back up and rush over to the door. The sergeant, noticing, yells out in fury, "GET BACK HERE!" "Only in your dreams, you jerk!" Sierra exclaims as the gang rushes through the door. ------------ Brick: (frowns) I don't care if I didn't face my fear. I ain't do push-ups for infinity! -------------- The group now find themselves in some sort of cave, looking around, noticing how familiar it is. "This looks like the mines back at Camp Wawanakwa." Gwen, being the only remaining player from All-Stars to recognize this place, spoke up. "Yes, it is. This is where we met..." Brick said but was cut off by an angry hiss. "What the...?" "Uh oh," Ezekiel gasps as something was peeking out from the shadows then disappear. "I think we're in trouble, eh." "What sort of madness are..." Lindsay begins to say but then screams as something lands in front of her, "EEEEEK!" The group looks horrified as they saw...Ezekiel! Except it is his Gollum self that hiss and growl at the group; It didn't take long to realize what this dream is: it's Ezekiel's. ------------ Ezekiel: That is one plenty sight I prefer not to see again, eh. ---------- "Ick, that boy still gives me the creeps." Chef said with a shudder. "I just hope he doesn't kill them. Let's see if home boy Ezekiel can conquer his freakshow self." ------------------------ It was in a small flowery field, with a somewhat red sky filling the air where Celestia's supposed nightmare took place. Luna, Discord and Chris then appeared as they came in through the door, looking around. "Where are we?" Chris asked. "Celestia's nightmare... or memory, I'm not sure." Luna said, looking around. "Either way, now I can finally see what is bugging Celestia so much!" Luna smiled as she looked over and smiled, "Hey, look, I know this place; Uncle Tuerto's Horseshoe Store!" "Who," Chris and Discord raised an eyebrow. "Oh, yeah, you two wouldn't know him! He's one of the nicest ponies from Celestia's and my childhood!" Luna smiled, "A horseshoe salespony by day!" "Horseshoe salespony?" Chris scoffed. "Sounds like the most lousy job in the universe... with selling women's shoes being a close second!" "Really, a horseshoe salespony," Discord laughed. "What a horrible job! Like, what, did he just think this would be a side job he wanted to do, and he never got any other career!" "It's what his cutie mark determined!" Luna glared... then gasped as she saw a few people heading this way. "Hey, it's me and Celestia as young ponies... and we're accompanied by Megan, Molly, Danny, Spykoran, though we called him Spike back then, and Applejack, the original Applejack before Applejack!" Chris, Discord and the Present Luna watched as the group was approaching the horseshoe store. "Strange that the store is getting less customers." Megan said. "Usually, Tuerto welcomes any pony coming in with open arms." "I know!" Molly said as young Luna was beaming. "It's not like Tuerto to just up and scare away everyone." "Celestia, are you feeling all right?" Spykoran asked as Celestia shook. "Fine... fine, I'm just fine," The young Celestia shook, scared. Back with Chris, Discord and Luna, Luna smiled as she said, "Just a regular day at Tuerto's... just what was so nightmarish about a visit?" "Come on, it's April twelfth, Tuerto's birthday!" Danny said. "The least we can do is gives him our wishes..." Present Luna blinked. "See, April Twelfth! A regular... celebration..." Present Luna frowned. "Wait... something's wrong. I don't even remember the day in my head!" Discord frowned, "Old age?" "No, no, I just don't remember what happened that day! But... something... for some reason... doesn't feel right..." Present Luna blinked. "Come to think of it, I can remember as far back as April 11th in the morning... and it's a blank between then and... May... 11th..." Present Luna gasped as she turned to Discord. "Discord, check that door. Is this Celestia's nightmare... or is this her memory...?" "I'll check it." Discord said as he teleported out. Chris raised an eyebrow in confusion as he asked, "What's going on? What are you not telling me?" "Look, we're entering the horseshoe store!" Present Luna gave a nervous smile as they saw Megan's group enter inside. Chris and Present Luna then went over to the window to peer inside. The inside of the horseshoe store was dark as a blue and black horse was breathing in and out, sitting down on a chair as he seemed to be drinking some sort of red liquid. The horse sighed as he waited. "Tuerto, Tuerto! It's me, Megan!" The horse's red eyes narrowed. He was wondering when the human would finally investigate. "Megan...pleasant surprise to see you here," The horse gave a big smile as he turned to see Megan, Molly, Danny, Spike, Applejack, young Celestia and young Luna coming in. "And I see you came bearing gifts." Molly gave a smile as she said, "Happy Birthday, Tuerto!" "Who," Tuerto's eyebrow raises. Megan blinked. "Uh, Tuerto, is your voice feeling all right?" "Oh, just dandy. Always talked like this..." Tuerto gave a big smirk. "Glad to see you three humans could make it..." "Right, us humans," Danny laughed. "Uncle Tuerto!" Young Luna smiled as she decided to go to him. Celestia, worried, pulled the young Luna back. "No, don't go near him!" Molly gave a slight giggle as she said, "I hear you give the best rides to any pony and human! Please, may I..." Tuerto, upon hearing this, glared as his right eye started to glow, "Come a little closer, and I'll give you my personal answer..." Molly, not quite understanding what she meant, decided to go closer. Chris was now eating popcorn, enjoying this as Luna was shutting her eyes. Something about this dream says she remembers it, but how could she remember this? What was happening to her memory? "Wow, scary eye!" Chris laughed. "I'd LOVE to see that on the cover of..." Molly came closer and closer... until Tuerto growled in anger as he fired the eye right at Molly, causing her to scream as she dropped on the ground, an open wound opening up on her arm and chest as she was now bleeding. Danny screamed in horror as Megan, Spykoran and Applejack backed away, gasping. Young Luna stopped as Young Celestia was clearly shaking. Chris's eyes widened in horror as he stopped mid-sentence, "Did... did he just... injure a human being with his eye?" "Sis," Danny gasped as he started to run. "Danny, get away from him!" Megan pulled Danny away. "This is just a demonstration, human scum!" Tuerto glared at Megan as she was holding Danny, scared. "So, you think you can get away with lying about humans' true intentions after all these years? Did you NOT think we would notice? Treating us like SLAVES, just for monetary and your personal gain!" "What?" Megan whispered in horror. "Being lab experiments for your own research, turning us into glue when we're too old or too young," Tuerto frowned. "Well, I say to you... I have had ENOUGH of your selfish human ways! It's time to put you down... once and for all!" "Uncle Tuerto, don't do this! You used to love us children!" Tuerto stopped as he noticed young Celestia and young Luna cowering in the corner. He just gave a genuine smile as he said to Celestia, "Ah, my young students of horseshoe sales. I still love children. I would never hurt any child... against my will of course... if you two are willing to join my cause to stop the humans and their selfish ways, then we can live in the perfect world..." "We already have the perfect world!" young Celestia called. "It's called Ponyland!" Tuerto frowned as he sighed, "Celestia, you are young. You'll never understand the true concept of 'perfect'..." Tuerto then raised a hand as he put a field around young Celestia and young Luna, freezing them in place. Tuerto then turned back to Megan, who had just grabbed a bleeding Molly, "Typical human behavior... caring for the humans and no care for other animals! Well, when I'm through the entire human race in every dimension, I will conquer the dream of a perfect world!" "Is that all you want, the perfect world?" Megan cried as Applejack helped get the bleeding Molly on her back. "Yes..." Tuerto smirked as Megan froze in place. "Any human that gets in my way... will be like you, bleeding out until they die, as my right eye demonstrated... and any pony that disagrees with the views of humans being bad... gets frozen, petrified AND paralyzed by my left eye... parafricaton... if you will!" Hearing that word made Present Luna's ears drop to a level, "Parafrication... that's what happened to Carol and Lyra the last few days..." Chris, just watching this, stared in horror as he was hearing Tuerto saying all this. He suddenly felt a little scared... not only for this nightmare to take place, but because when he looked at Luna, he started to fear that this wasn't a nightmare... but one of Celestia's memories... It was then that Spykoran finally noticed the flank of Tuerto's. "What happened... to your horseshoe cutie mark..." Tuerto smirked as he noted the red skull cutie mark on his flank. "Like it? Yes, I'm officially a deadly weapon; I can counter ANY move you try to make on me!" "You would NEVER do this!" Applejack said, frightened. Tuerto then gave a huge smirk. "Do you know what happens if I combine BOTH of my eyes?" "No..." Megan said nervously. "I don't either... but we'll find out in due time..." Tuerto smirked evilly as both of his eyes started to glow. "Okay, I've seen enough, Celestia made her point!" Chris said as he got up and turned to Luna, "Luna, teleport us out of here!" "NOT MEGAN! PLEASE!" Young Celestia and Young Luna begged. With that, Present Luna teleported. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris and Present Luna then arrived in another part of the dream... as Present Luna gasped. "Oh no...we can't get out!" "What do you mean we can't get out," Chris frowned. "What's going on here?" Present Luna sighed. "I don't know why... but for some reason, a lot of memories that I don't even remember having are all... returning to me! It's as if... Celestia's nightmare... reawoke some memories that I was never meant to remember!" Discord then teleported to Chris and Luna, as he was feeling scared. Present Luna looked up as she asked, "Discord, did you find the door?" "Yes..." Discord squeaked. "Interesting to note, it's not a nightmare... it's a memory!" "I kinda gathered it already!" Luna frowned. "Luna, what the heck's going on? When I went to teleport, I noticed younger you and younger Celestia running with Spykoran, the original Applejack and Megan, only Megan was a pony!" Discord said. "What did you hear from that?" Luna gulped, thinking she may have remembered everything from that too... as her memories with the missing month was coming back to her. "Well, something about a Master Welara AKA that Tuerto guy invading a village of zebras to massacre them, all because they disagreed with his view on humans!" Discord said. "What is going on?" Luna sighed. "I don't know why... but Celestia should know... we need to find the real Celestia, the one seemingly trapped in..." "Trapped in...what, exactly?" Luna, Chris and Discord froze as they slowly turned to see... Princess Celestia, the real Princess Celestia, in true form. Celestia groaned. "Luna, how did you even get IN this dream; I specifically locked that door for a reason!" "I'm sorry, but you were having nightmares, and you weren't going to tell me anything!" Luna frowned. "Because I knew you'd have a relapse!" Celestia sighed. "And... I didn't want your kinship with Uncle Tuerto to be destroyed..." "What is going on?" Luna asked. "I can't explain it now. Wait until we're in the castle... I'll explain everything in the morning..." Celestia said as she made the door appear. "As for you two..." Celestia turned to Discord and Chris. "I owe you and Chef one LONG explanation..." Chris, Discord and Luna just nodded as the three of them went out... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back with Chef, as he was sipping some coffee, watching the people trying to avoid the feral Ezekiel, he noticed Chris, Discord and Luna coming in. "All right, there you are! Everyone is getting close to finishing!" Chef smiled... as he then noticed Chris, Discord and Luna were shaking with fear. "What's up? Did you find out the source of Celestia's nightmares?" "Yeah, we... sort of did." Chris shook. "We'll... we'll explain everything after we do the eliminations. How is everyone doing?" "Let's see..." Chef said as everyone turned to the monitors. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh s***..." Ezekiel groaned as he noticed the Gollum-Ezekiel crawling around, growling. "I was hoping I wouldn't have to face THIS again!" "Come on, Zeke, this is your fear, right?" Bridgette asked, comforting Ezekiel. Ezekiel took a deep breath as he said, "Yes... but the only way I can confront this fear... is... to accept my fate..." "What if there was another way?" Izzy gave a wild smirk. Ezekiel turned to Izzy as he raised an eyebrow. "I'm listening, eh..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Izzy: This is going to be getting crazy now! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Gollum Ezekiel kept growling as it was giving an evil smirk, making noises... until it started hearing music. The Gollum Ezekiel turned to see everyone on a stage as Bridgette was getting herself ready to dancing. The Gollum Ezekiel raised an eyebrow in confusion and slight curiosity. Bridgette then gave a huge smirk as she started to sing. (To the tune of 'Break My Stride' by Matthew Wilder) (Bridgette) Oh, Zeke, please do not be like this, You turned into a beastie, then you turned really meany, Just so you can get into show biz, This is not like you, do you understand? Gollum Ezekiel then gave a smile as he was suddenly feeling very attracted to Bridgette. Izzy, Leshawna, Heather, Gwen, Katie, Sadie, Sierra, Lindsay and Beth then came out as they were singing along with Bridgette. (Izzy, Leshawna, Heather, Gwen, Katie, Sadie, Sierra, Lindsay, Beth, Bridgette) It's Chris' fault he broke your stride, It's Chris's fault that he slowed you down Oh yes, this is all Chris McClean's fault! It's Chris's fault he broke your stride, It's Chris's fault that he slowed you down Oh yes, this is all Chris McClean's fault! (Bridgette) You used to be very misunderstood You used to be home-school, had a crush on me too; But then Chris McClean outright changed your mood! Is that the reason why you are very crude? Gollum Ezekiel suddenly felt himself changing as he was getting into the music. (Izzy, Leshawna, Heather, Gwen, Katie, Sadie, Sierra, Lindsay, Beth, Bridgette) It's Chris's fault he broke your stride, It's Chris's fault that he slowed you down Oh yes, this is all Chris McClean's fault! It's Chris's fault he broke your stride, It's Chris's fault that he slowed you down Oh yes, this is all Chris McClean's fault! "Hey, it's working!" Katie smiled as she noticed Gollum Ezekiel's hair was growing back, along with his sanity. "Bridgette, you are so beautiful..." Ezekiel said, slowly as he came closer to Bridgette, who was blushing furiously. Then the Dream Ezekiel felt something whack his head as he fell down unconscious. The real Ezekiel glared at dream Ezekiel as he said, "Dude, she has a boyfriend! Respect that!" "Thanks, Zeke." Bridgette giggled a bit as she kissed him on the cheek again, making Ezekiel blush a little. Scott gave a VERY evil smirk now as he was now writing something down again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott: (gives a smirk) Well, if I'm still in the next rounds, I'm probably not going to use all these ideas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Well, come on!" Ezekiel said as everyone started to go in... As soon as they walked in, they noticed that they were once again, ponies. "Okay, Applejack's dream. What is it..." Gwen paused. "Found it!" Brick said, pointing over to where Applejack was. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Izzy: Brace yourselves, these final dreams, one each, may take up an entire post... with Jus doing part of the final dream we have to go through so that the guy writing these last words of the post will know what he's doing! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The group goes over to Applejack who stood in front of a grave. "Hey AJ, hey, you there," Lindsay asked Applejack with a smile. "Oh, hey y'all," Applejack said to her friends with a sad look. "Okay, what's going on here?" Harold asked as the group looks at the grave "'In Memory of Applejack I'. May All of Ponyland Remember Her'." "Shucks, Ah never met her as she died centuries before Ah was born." Applejack explained in sadness. "No one in our family knew how she truly died. It happened when she came back fro' some sort o' journey." "So what's your problem?" Cody asked Applejack in concern. "Ah'm worried...'dat Ah may not live up 'ta her legacy an' worried 'dat Ah may not keep 'de farm going in her hoofsteps." Applejack explained through sniffles. --------------- Noah: To be honest, in the past, it was the original Applejack who started Sweet Apple Acres. But even I'm curious as to what happened to her that led to her death. History had yet to reveal itself. ------------------------------- "Living up to somepony's legacy?" Tyler asked Applejack with a chuckle. "Come on, it isn't that hard." "You're doing a Super Duper Neato job at it!" Izzy insisted to Applejack, bouncing up and down like mad. "Really," Applejack asked Izzy in concern. "Eeyup! I mean, come on, you managed to save your family's farm so far, right?" Izzy ask Applejack with a smile. "Yeah, and so far, you got bucking and farming skills that even your ancestor will be proud of." Sierra said in agreement. "I say you definitely live up to the original Applejack's legacy and name." "Great farmer and friend through and through," Leshawna said in agreement to Applejack. "And besides, you did what the original Applejack never did; become the bearer of an Element of Harmony." Lindsay added with a smile. "And beat down two nasty con ponies." Dawn added in agreement. "As well as help a pony become a princess to boot." "Right, don't worry about not living up to your ancestor's legacy," Harold remarks with a smile. "You got your own story to work on! So continue working on that story, make one legacy of your own." "You'll be a successor to the original Applejack." Dawn assured Applejack, "And she would be very proud of you." "Right, no sense in killing a dead pony," Scott remarked with a shrug. "You mean 'beating' a dead pony." Bridgette pointed out to Scott. Scott, confused, asked, "Why would anyone want to beat a dead pony?" "Why would anyone wanna kill a dead pony," Bridgette challenged the question with her own. "Maybe it bit ya." Scott suggested stupidly to Bridgette. "How can it? It's dead!" Bridgette reminded Scott in annoyance. "Maybe it came back to life like in 'Afterlife with Archie'!" Izzy exclaimed creepily, "Oooooh; Creepy Jughead!" "That aside, you don't have to please everyone, just please yourself." Gwen said to Applejack with a smile. "Right, it's like trying to please a bunch of authors who don't like your stories on a website." Trent said, adding in an example. "Plus, you got friends to help you through and through." Gwen said, making Applejack sniffle and smile. "Shucks, yew ponies are right. As long as Ah got mah friend an' mah determination, Ah know 'de original Applejack will be done proud o' me." Applejack said with a look of determination and confidence on her face. "That's the spirit!" Lindsay exclaimed happily. "We must be going now." B said as the group, now finished here, prepares to leave, "Oh, one more thing? The princesses and our friends who were reassigned aren't really dead. Chris was playing a dumb trick. Talk to your friends in the morning." "Say what?!" Applejack asked in shock and anger, "The Princesses and your friends were alive all along, and it was a trick by Chris?! Why, that no good, dirty, heartless, sadistic cheater!" "I'm sure Chris has a good reason...and he better." Eva said, mumbling under the last part. "Well, Ah will make sure 'ta listen 'ta ya an' talk wit' mah friends in 'de morning." Applejack said sternly. "Thanks." The group goes through the next door, satisfied with that task over. ------------------ Scott: Surprised that I didn't do any sabotaging so far? (Shrugs) I decided to let the nightmares do it for me. No need in killing a dead horse! ---------------- The group finds themselves in a most terrifying room ever: some sort of torture room with saws, traps, and spikes. And to their horror, there's Geoff, or rather a dream version of him, strapped in a machine with arms pulling on his own arms and legs. "Geoff!" Bridgette cried in horror and fear. "This is her nightmare, there's only her and Heather left." Leshawna said, recalling whose left. "Good night, Miss Bridgette." A familiar voice boomed as a TV is turned on. There's a Nightmare Chris wearing some sort of mask like Jigsaw from the Saw films. "I want to play a little challenge for you." "Oh, crap! This is just like from the infamous Saw film series!" Izzy gasped in horror. "What do you want now, Chris?" Bridgette demanded angrily to Nightmare Chris. "Oh, a little challenge; You claimed to be loyal to Geoff but kept on breaking up with him left and right, even breaking his heart involving Al in the third season." Nightmare Chris taunted Bridgette evilly. "Now the question remains, how much do you truly care for him? Let's find out!" The group saw four devices like puzzles in front of them. Nightmare Chris explained, "Your challenge is to rotate these four devices until you hear a click from 4 parts of one. You must solve them within 10 minutes or the machines will rip Geoff's arms and legs right out." "Help me, babe, please." Dream Geoff whimpered a bit. "Trust me, the idea sounds pretty gross." Nightmare Chris remarked with an evil chuckle. "You can have help...if you wish. Let the game begin!" "We gotta help him!" Lindsay cried in fear. "Right, come on!" Trent exclaimed as the ponies join Bridgette in working frantically on the puzzles. ------------ Bridgette: (terrorized) I don't know what to do. I hate working under pressure. Geoff...I mean DREAM Geoff...is going to get kill and I need to stop 4 puzzles to save him! ----------------- Bridgette works frantically on a puzzle, trying to solve. Gwen helps her out quickly while Cody mumbles, "Man, and I thought working on a time bomb under pressure was bad enough!" "You can do it babe...heck, you could do it for Zeke if you want!" Dream Geoff exclaims to Bridgette, making her groan a bit. "Hey, don't distract her, eh?" Ezekiel insists to Geoff with a frown. "Sorry!" Some clicks as all 4 parts of the puzzles are done. Bridgette exclaims, "Okay, 1 done!" "8 minutes and 50 seconds left to go!" Izzy exclaims, checking out the timer, making Bridgette scream and working with the second puzzle. "Ugh, this next one is complicated!" Trent mumbles as he and some of the others work on the puzzles. Scott hums a bit, not bothering to help out in the puzzle. "Hey, you can help us out, you know!" "Why? This is Bridgette's puzzle, not mine." Scott points out with a smug look. "Scott, if Geoff dies, we're making sure you go next!" Eva threatens Scott with a growl, holding a fist at his face, making him yelp. "And they once again make a point." Scott quickly got to work on the 4th puzzle. The gang works frantically as time seems to go fast. Four clicks are heard from the third puzzle. "Done," Leshawna calls out to Bridgette who is a bit relieved upon hearing that. "Only 5 minutes and 15 seconds!" Izzy calls out to her friends who yelps and got to work on the remaining two puzzles. "Ugh! These next two puzzles, I can't figure it out." Noah said with a frown on the second puzzle. "Is it left or right?" "I am still trying to figure this out!" Beth exclaims frantically, but yelps as she hears something break on the fourth puzzle. "Oops!" "Don't say that! Don't ever say that!" Bridgette screams out frantically, trying frantically to solve the second puzzle. ---------------------------------------- Sam: Geez, these puzzles would boggle even the video game player's ones. ------------------ "3 minutes, players; Heh heh heh," Nightmare Chris remarked evilly to the players. "I hope Geoff can crawl without his limbs!" "Man, do I feel torn!" Dream Geoff exclaims with a shrug, making the players more desperate. 4 clicks are heard from the second puzzle. Leshawna called out, "Second puzzle done!" "Ugh! This last one is TOO COMPLICATED!" Scott screams angrily as he grabs the puzzle and throws it at the timer. Unfortunately, it ends up causing the thing to malfunction, making the timer hit 1 minute instantly before counting down the seconds. "Oops." "SCOTT!" Most of the players scream in shock and anger. "Bad mistake; Counting down, 40, 39, 38, 37, 36, 35, 34..." Nightmare Chris taunts the players. Scott's stupid mistake is going to kill Dream Geoff! The gang frantically grabs the puzzle and got to work on it, but it appears to be way too complicated. "30, 29, 28, 27..." ---------------------------------------------- Heather: Great, for a moment, it looks like Bridgette's dream will end like that. Then suddenly... ---------------------------------------- Ezekiel notices something then heads off quickly. As the others work on the puzzle, Nightmare Chris continues, "20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15..." "Where does this go?" B asks his fellow players, trying to figure out the last part needed. "I don't know!" Dawn cries out in worry. "Ugh! I hate this game!" Brick exclaims, freaking out. "10, 9, 8, 6..." Nightmare Chris remarks, continuing the timing. "6; what happened to 7," Lindsay cries out to Nightmare Chris in confusion. "Just kidding; 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2..." For a moment, it looks like it's too late. The gang is almost close to finishing the final part...or in this case NOT TOO CLOSE AT ALL! But just when it looks like all is lost, suddenly the machine is turned off, along with the TV, timer and everything else. The group looks puzzled and confused. "Uh, am I dead now?" Dream Geoff asks confused, looking around. "Hello?" "What happened? Is the game over?" Lindsay asks more confused. "Right here, eh!" Ezekiel calls out from nearby. The gang saw that he is near an outlet which the homeschooled boy has succeeded in pulling the plug, literally. "Oh, well...we should've done that." Bridgette said awkwardly, chuckling a bit. The gang quickly got to work on freeing Dream Geoff from the machine. Once they do that, he happily hugs Bridgette, remarking, "Bridge, nice work, even if you had hang with Ezekiel and almost kiss him." "Hey, Zeke respects my relationship with you." "It's right. It's okay; she's still your babe, eh!" Ezekiel insists to Dream Geoff with a smirk, assuring him that Bridgette is still his...or in this case the real Geoff's. "The so-called kiss part doesn't count." "Yeah, good point!" Dream Geoff laughs as he hugs Bridgette. -------------- Bridgette: (smiles) Ezekiel did a nice job in helping save Geoff. (Pause) Even though it was only a dream; I was worried of losing Geoff in any way...brrr! Almost freaking me out! -------------------------- Dream Geoff disappears while Bridgette sighs a bit. Yeah, Geoff is gone...again. But she knows that he is still alive, rooting for her and stuff. Bridgette comments to Ezekiel, "Hey, thanks for the help." "Yeah, you're doing fine with us!" Sam exclaims to Ezekiel, laughing as he slaps Ezekiel on the back, making him smile. The gang goes through the next door and winds up in some sort of room. Sadie pauses as she spoke up, "Okay, so far, we have been through all of the Mane Six's and everyone else's room." "Right, so this must be Heather's room!" Katie exclaims, agreeing with her BBF. "It's like the only room left, right?" "So I wonder what memory or nightmare can be found in here," Tyler ask, making Heather a bit nervously. "Okay, let's split into our usual dreams and find the last clue." Gwen requests the others to get into their normal dreams. "We only got 1 more clue left and then we're done with this maze." "Finally, feels like we have been sleeping for days." Noah remarks dryly as the groups split up. "I don't know, I feel rested," Cody remarks as he opens a window, seeing a Dream Alejandro outside. The boy quickly closes the window. "That was uncomfortable." "Oh look!" Leshawna chuckled, picking up a familiar wig. "Remember this, Heather?" "I ask you politely to respect my past." Heather groans as she took the wig back, putting it away. -------------------------------------- Leshawna: Girl needs to lighten up and laugh a bit. ------------ Heather: (shudders) I can only hope that my friends...err, I mean friendly rivals don't find out too much about me. ------------------------- Everyone separated as they looked around the room. Gwen was looking inside one of the cabinets as she pulled out a photo. She examined in curiosity and smiled. "Wow, so that's what your boyfriend looks li-" "Okay, you got your glimpse, moving on!" Heather frowned as she took the picture back and stuffed it inside the cabinet. Gwen could just roll her eyes as she looked up for a second... then looked back to Heather, her eyes widening. "Heather, what are you WEARING, exactly?" "What?" Heather asked as she looked down... and yelped as she realized she was wearing a black, sluttly like lingerie suit. Heather's eyes widened. "Oh no, it's THIS nightmare!" "Hmm," Gwen said in confusion as Heather seemed to walk towards the bed in her room against her will. All of a sudden, everyone (except for Gwen, who happened to be nearby Heather at the time) was suddenly blocked around the area! "What gives here?" Eva frowned. "Here's the thing..." Heather said as she was now getting herself on the bed in an interesting position. "You know how I hate Alejandro with a passion? Well, at the same time, I'm also a little scared of him too..." "Scared of..." Gwen paused... before her eyes (along with everyone else's eyes) widened in shock. "Wait, your nightmare... is sleeping with Alejandro?" "Sleeping with him, him raping me, him taking my virginity, him forcing me into a harem with all the other girls he manipulated in World Tour..." Heather sighed. "Now you can see why I don't look forward to this." "Wait... forcing US into a harem," Bridgette, Lindsay and Leshawna said in shock. They all screamed. Heather sighed. "I know Alejandro may not seem like that guy, but that creep sure LOOKS like he could probably do that!" "Oh great," Leshawna said. "Well, I don't want to see Alejandro naked..." "Neither do we," Everyone else shuddered. "Heather, can't you counter that dream?" Gwen asked in worry. "I always just picture my boyfriend in my head saving me, beating up Alejandro, and we go out together afterwards!" Heather said. "Great, do that!" Bridgette said. Heather glared, "With ALL of you here? No way! Plus, there are probably cameras around the dream world, what if that reaches the real Alejandro?" Heather paused. "Actually, it wouldn’t be so..." Heather frowned. "No, I'm going to think of something else!" Cody peeked out through a door as his eyes widened. "You better hurry. I just saw the look of Alejandro, and he seemed pretty hungry for sex." Gwen paused as she peeked out and yelped. From outside the door came upstairs the dream Alejandro Cody saw outside, only he had a more crazed look on his face, desperate for Heather. Heather was nervously thinking as Eva yelled, "Just do the boyfriend thing!" "Forget it! Not doing it for the cameras!" Heather paused... then she got an idea. "Okay, I think I may have gotten something. Gwen, could you come over here for a second?" Gwen blinked in confusion, but nodded as she came over to Heather. "What is-" Gwen then yelped in surprise as Heather grabbed Gwen and pushed her on the bed. "Sorry, Gwen, only way I can think of to turn off Alejandro. I'm not sure if this does it, but hey, it's my dream, right?" Then to Gwen and about everybody else's shock, Heather grabbed Gwen's face... and kissed her on the lips, which started to turn more into a tongue kiss. Gwen became shocked at first, but decided if this is Heather's plan, may as well go with it. The two got a little involved with the kiss as everybody's eyes were wide as plates. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (We see both Heather and Gwen in the confessional) Gwen: The kiss totally never happened. We're not going to mention this, we're going to deny anything if we're involved in the Aftermath Special, and we'll set the record that I have Trent and you have Bu- Heather: (cuts her off) Right, of course! Yeah, that kiss that turned off Alejandro... never happened; nothing going on between us; Just friends. (Pause) Maybe a little rivalry. Gwen: (pause) Right. (Moment of silence) Is your boyfriend going to kill me because we- Heather: Nah, he'll understand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Leshawna: All in all, I get what Heather was trying to do... but the way she did it... totally unexpected. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Even the once scary dream Alejandro that came in, looked over with eyes wide in shock as he slowly backed away and shut the door. Once the kiss was done, Heather and Gwen went apart as they took a deep breath. Gwen then quickly turn and spat, as Heather did the same. "Yuck, snob germs," Gwen retched in disgust. "Goth germs, disgusting," Heather spat out. "Well, let's just hope Chris doesn't use that for his ratings ploy!" Noah said, pointing out the cameras. "This was your other way out? Really," Gwen said. "Let's just pretend it never happened and move on." Heather said as she got up. "Right," Gwen said. "Well, since that nightmare is over, now what?" Heather pointed downstairs to the door that said Exit. "Guess from here on in, race to see which four people gets Invincibility!" Everyone nodded as they started to run downstairs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in the lounge room of the Realm of Dreams, Chris, Chef, Discord and Luna were waiting nearby the door that brought the contestants into the maze as they were a little nervous. "Just keep big smiles. Act like nothing's wrong, okay?" Luna whispered. Chris, Chef and Discord agreed as they put on their happy faces. Pretty soon the door opened as Chris said, "And here we go... the first four people that have won are..." We then see Scott crossing the finish first, followed by Gwen, Trent, Izzy, Harold, Noah, Katie, Sadie, Bridgette, Eva, Ezekiel, Tyler, B, Dawn, Beth, Lindsay, Tyler, Brick, Leshawna, Sam, Cody and Sierra. "...Scott, Gwen, Izzy and Harold," Chris smiled. "Wait, what?" Trent frowned. "I was third!" "Uh, no," Luna shook her head. "If you had listened to the rules, we said 'First Four people, one from EACH TEAM, gets Invincibility for this round'." "Oh..." Everyone said as Scott gave a big smirk, with Gwen, Izzy and Harold pretty happy with how they accomplished their goals. "Congrats you four," Chris smiled as Scott, Gwen, Izzy and Harold came up. "All of you are safe tonight. And don't worry about the missing statues; they will still be in effect for this final round, after that, you're on your own." "Okay, now we're going to take some time to look over all the footage and see which two people are going to be eliminated... so please wait by the lounge over there while we discuss it." Luna said. Everyone nodded as they went and sat down as Chris, Chef, Discord and Luna went over to the monitors to view all the dreams. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie: Good to know that our statues can still work for this final round, so guess they weren't in waste after all... so this is going to be dedicated in memory of our own statues... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Total Drama players waited for the results as Chris, Chef, Discord and Luna looked at their dreams on the monitors. "Hey, listen, everyone. Regardless of what happened, I'm glad we stick together for one more round." Lindsay said to her friends and enemies happily. "Yeah, same here," Beth said, hugging Lindsay. The hosts came back as Luna announces, "Everyone, we have an announcement. We checked the monitors of the dreams and came to a conclusion." "Okay, first place goes...to the Groundin' Earth Ponies," Chris announced with a smile. The Groundin' Earth Ponies cheered as Luna explained, "Although Eva and Brick messed up with their dreams, and we don't know about Scott, Scott's first place win, along with Ezekiel's beating his nightmare and helping Bridgette, especially Lindsay's silly move, help them win." "Wow, we won!" Lindsay giggled a bit. "Oh, yo, yo, yo," Ezekiel laughed, giving a thumbs up to everyone. "Now for second place is the Magical Unicorns." Chef explained with a nod, "For managing to beat all their nightmares and Gwen coming in second place." "Oh, right! Whoo," Sadie cheers on as Trent and Gwen hugs each other. --------------------- Trent: Even in dreams, you can win challenges if you try hard enough. ------------------ Gwen: Yeah, now if only I can handle that in real life. ----------------- "Third place...sorry, although most of you have conquered your nightmares, Tyler's reluctance to face his fear of chickens as well as Izzy's third place rank were the reasons." Luna explained to the third place team in regret. "Sorry, everyone," Tyler said to his team in embarrassment. feeling ashamed that his fear of chickens has cost him. "Well, you did your best, Tyler." Leshawna said, patting Tyler on the back. "Right, although I think it was Heather's making out with Gwen that jinx it." Noah joked a bit, giving out a smirk at the memory. Heather and Gwen gave the nerd some mean looks at that. "And finally, the Immortal Alicorns are in last place." Chris remarked, chuckling a bit. "Hoo boy, Dawn's mad Carrie nature as well as Beth's running off on her team sure cost them big time, especially the fourth place win." Beth looks down a bit but Cody pats her on the back, saying, "It's okay, Beth. We know you didn't mean it." "Right, everyone got their bad days, like me!" Sierra remarks with a chuckle. "And so, the Groundin' Earth Ponies and the Magical Unicorns won the challenge!" Chris declares with one of his usual smiles. "In your face, Chicken Pussy," Scott said cruelly to Tyler with a mean grin. Tyler frowned at that. Luna announced, "Okay, listen! It's almost morning so we must do the eliminations quickly; First off, the Alicorns!" "We don't have cupcakes with us this time so we will have to go for this." Chris said as he quickly looked at a notepad of notes made during this. "Okay...first off, B, you're safe." B smiles at this as Dawn pat him on the back. Luna calls out, "Harold, you're safe as well." Harold smiled while nodding. Chris checked the list, adding, "Cody, Sierra, you two are safe." "Yay!" Cody and Sierra exclaims while hugging each other in eagerness. "And now, it's down to Dawn and Beth. Dawn, turning into Miss Carrie. Beth, running off on her friends," Chris explains sternly, making the two look down. "Only 1 of you will end up with your dream ending on a bad note." "The final player safe in this game is..." Luna paused a bit, making the others wait to see who is the last Alicorn to be safe, "...Dawn." Dawn sighed a bit, making Beth look down in regret. Chris commented, "Yeah, Beth; Shame, shame; Time for you to go." "Well, at least I can say goodbye to my friends one more time." Beth said meekly. Chris was about to respond, but Luna stops him with a hoof, shaking her head. He frowned but allowed Beth to say her final goodbyes to everyone, minus the bad guys, even Scott doesn't bother. Once Beth was done, Luna transformed her back to normal while Discord opened the usual black hole. The girl screamed as she got sucked in, being eliminated from the game. Once Discord made the black hole disappear, he added, "You will see that Beth is no longer around come morning." "Bye, Beth..." Lindsay said sadly as she shredded a tear. "And good riddance," Scott remarked cruelly. "Okay! Flying Pegasus, your turn," Chris exclaimed with a smile. The Flying Pegasus got into place, preparing for the next elimination. Luna spoke up, "Same as before. When you hear your name, you're safe." Chris looks at a notepad quickly then say, "Okay, Heather, you're safe." "Fine by me," Heather remarks with a shrug, at least she is still in this game. "Noah, you're safe too." Noah smiled, nodding to Katie who grins at his safehood. Luna spoke out the next gang, "Leshawna, you're safe." "Still here, oh baby!" Leshawna chuckled, holding a fist in the air so to speak. "Next up...Izzy, you're safe." Chris said the next name, making Izzy laughs in delight. "And now, Sam, Tyler, you're still here but only 1 of you must go." "Let me guess, I didn't conquer my nightmare of losing Dakota?" Sam asks Chris in concern. "Afraid not, at least; I don't think so; And Tyler? Looks like you're still a chicken, dude." "Come on, enough with the taunts! Let's get it over with!" Tyler complains to Chris, wanting this to be over already. "The final player to be safe tonight for the Flying Pegasus is..." Luna said, pausing a bit. The teams wait anxiously, once again to see who's safe. "...Sam." "Yeah," Sam exclaims, holding two thumbs up. "Video game player, make it to the next level." "Well, Tyler, your game is over again." Chris said to Tyler with a shrug as Luna changes him back to his human self. "Your dream is over, dude." "Awww, Tyler." Lindsay said, shedding a tear in sadness. First Beth, now Tyler. "Hey, babe; It was fun while it lasted, right?" Tyler ask, smirking a bit. "Just win it for the both of us, okay?" "Sure can! Uh, win what again?" Discord rolls his eyes as he opens up the Suck O Gone, sucking Tyler in and out of the game. He makes it disappear, saying, "Well, sweet dreams; Heh heh heh." "And then, there were 20!" Chris exclaims with a smile. Suddenly the whole dream world begins to shake. "Whoa! And just in time too; Time for you all to wake up!" "Yes, we must be going now. We will see you in hopes that Twilight and her friends will come to their senses when we arrive!" Luna exclaims quickly. It's time for her, Chris, Chef and Discord to get out of here. "So who will be next? Will the girls snap out of it? Who's dreaming? Find out next time on Total Drama Equestria! Come on, we gotta get out of here!" Luna makes another portal appears, sucking Chris, Chef and Discord, along with their equipment through it. After the portal is gone, the Goddess of the Night quickly teleports out as the whole area begins to turn white... ------------- Within the room that the contestants were sleeping in, their bodies showed reactions before they all moved upwards to respond to this. The Total Drama crew was literally screaming a high-pitch tone while their bodies, opened mouths and eyes were letting off white lights. And that same unexplained magic was unleashed like a powerful wave of magic explosion. It spread out all over Ponyville, affecting any of the residences, even the Mane Six that were unprepared. The unexplained magic wave was sent across all over Equestria, all feeling a strange shock force without any knowledge to its meaning of what happened. But only certain powerful beings, could tell what this meant in some 'particular reason' of being. Twilight awoke again in shock as she noticed something... strange. "Wha- what happened?" Twilight asked. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash paused as she got up, clearly dazed. "Aw man, what hit me?" Rainbow Dash asked. Rarity was just getting up as well, not having the foggiest idea on what happened. Applejack got up and rubbed her eyes as she was pondering what was with her dream last night. In fact, pretty much all of the Mane Six, including Ben, were pondering the dreams they got to, for some reason. Was what they experienced true... or a coincidence? Never the less, they had to have the benefit of doubt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Soon within Canterlot, Chris, Chef, Discord and Luna all appeared out of a vortex dream portal to land on each other along with their equipment. "Ugh, let's not do that again." Chris groaned. "Wait? What happened?" Chef asked. "Back home, we had our real bodies in the dream world while the others return to their bodies." Luna explained. "And it looks like the others have too, look at this!" Discord showed an active screen in showing Twilight’s group on their way to the building to check on the remaining players. "Apparently, that unexpected magic shockwave got them all and think something is up." "Luna..." The four stopped as they turned to see Celestia. Chris frowned as he said, "Okay, NOW I want to know what's going on here! What is up with you, who is that Tuerto guy, and why did I just witness a near death?" Celestia sighed. "I owe you an explanation... all of you..." "Just a moment," Discord said, yelping as he realized there were twenty people left in the building. "Hopefully, the others will think of something..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretty soon, everybody was up, and noticed that once more, they were in their pony forms. And the first thing they noticed was... "Crap, how are we going to explain that Beth and Tyler just... disappeared?" Gwen asked, knowing that if Twilight or the others checked up on them now, they'll KNOW something is up. "I got something!" Heather snapped her fingers as she dug around her bag. "Everyone, find some irrelevant stuff in your bags and put it under some blankets! Hopefully, this'll stall for time until the princesses come in and explain everything!" Everyone nodded as they started digging around in their bags. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mane Six and Ben walked towards the door as they started to unlock it. "Hello?" Twilight called, "Everything okay?" "Oh yes, we're all better now!" Leshawna smiled a fake smile (which about the Mane Six and Ben fell for) as they all walked out. "Although poor Beth and Tyler is a little shaken, see, they're covering themselves up in shame because they are so convinced that Chris McColt is not holding us hostage!" "Well, good," Applejack said, noting the two lumps covered in blankets. "Glad yew all had a good sleep." "You know what's strange? We dreamt about you guys last night..." Ben said as everyone came out. "Really; what were we doing?" Lindsay asked in curiosity. "Well... you were helping us out with our nightmares, and we really appreciate it." Fluttershy smiled. "Yeah; It was like a burden was lifted fro’ us!" Applejack smiled. "Indeed." Rainbow Dash smiled. "Although, in your dreams, you people were still acting crazy with your theory on Chris not being a murderer." The Final Twenty of the Total Drama cast's mouths just dropped. They couldn't believe they STILL didn't believe them. "Well, nonetheless, maybe you should wait by the wall!" Scott smiled. "I'm sure there's going to be a nice surprise for you." "Oh, I hope so." Twilight said. "Come on, fellas." The Mane Six and Ben nodded as they started to go off (but not before Pinkie stopped to ask, "Anybody got a quarter", with everybody staring blankly at her.) Everyone nodded as B said, "Well good, hopefully, this'll clear everything up, the princesses will arrive and explain Chris's joke, and we can move on with our lives!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "That's why we can't arrive at Ponyville!" Celestia sighed as Luna, Chris, Chef and Discord were shaken up. "If we reveal there are humans here right now, if word reached his ears, it'll just increase Uncle Tuerto's search! And he won't hesitate to stop searching, and once he finds it... we may be good as gone..." "Oh my gosh..." Luna looked down in sadness. "Now I can see why you were so reluctant." "That explains everything! The missing month, the fact you've been reluctant for the past few days..." Chef started. "...being distracted by your thoughts, seeing Lyra parafried..." Discord said. Chris paused as he looked outside in horror. "Dear God, what I have put my fellow contestants into..." Celestia sighed. "Now you finally realize what danger you're putting them through?" "I wanted to have fun and do torture... I didn't want this!" Chris said in horror. Discord then facepalmed, "It was all my fault..." "No, no it's mine. I should have said something before..." Celestia sighed. "What do we do? Keep the contestants here for the rest of the game?" Chef asked. Chris looked out the window as he sighed. "This isn't just a game anymore..." Chris turned to the others. "I may play the occasional joke, I may be a bit of a jerk, but I don't want to have my contestants killed! The only way to get this game over with is to move the others to a new location... one preferably FAR from Equestria!" Celestia nodded. "For once, I have to agree with you. Right now, Equestria is not safe for anybody, especially humans..." "But how do we get them past the wall?" Discord frowned, "WITHOUT tipping off the Mane Six of the true intentions?" "I think I may have a way..." Celestia said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pretty soon, over at the Sugarcube Corner, as everybody was enjoying another meal of cupcakes, they noticed Spike coming in with a note in hand. "Hey, fellas; A note just came for you," Spike said as he handed Gwen the note. "Said it's for 'Candrygontonia'." As Spike ran off, Gwen blinked as the others gathered. "So, what are the princesses wanting?" "Hopefully, they're saying they're coming to clear things up!" Heather frowned. Gwen opened the letter as she read it, "Dear Total Drama contestants AKA Final Twenty... me and Luna cannot come over to clear things up." The others' eyes boggled at the site as Leshawna said, "WHAT?" "This can't be!" Eva growled. "You mean we're still stuck in this hellhole!" "Let me finish reading!" Gwen said, continuing the story. "'Something has suddenly come up that we need ALL of you contestants in Castle Canterlot in about a couple of hours. I understand that there is no way to get out. Not true in the slightest. Meet Discord nearby an old tree stump. He'll show you the way out of here around the wall... one more thing, you may want to wear some disguises or make up an excuse should my faithful student, my adopted son OR their friends catch you. Just think of something you can agree with. We will meet you there; Signed, Princess Celestia." The Final Twenty paused as they looked at each other. Sounds like something big is coming up... and whatever it was, it required them to be at Castle Canterlot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deeper into the Everfree Forest, the one-eyed pony just blinked his one eye as he kept walking... and walking around the Everfree Forest. He growled under his breath. Where could that eye be? The one eye... to destroy all... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We then see clips of the next episode. The announcer then spoke; "On the next all new episode of Total Drama Equestria, the contestants make up an excuse to get out of Ponyville..." As we see the Mane Six, Ben Mare, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Nyx, Spike, Phobos and Chase the Warrior waving to a leaving group of certain competitors, Twilight frowned. "Yeah... now I know they're lying." "...but eventually, all has to be revealed." We then see all the ponies in Castle Canterlot, looking over between Chris and Chef in the human forms... and straight at a very pissed off Blaineley, who was glaring at Celestia and Luna. "What the-" Ben paused in shock and confusion. "What is going on here?" Rainbow asked. "...s***." Celestia groaned. "What stories will be revealed? And ten; count 'em, TEN people, will be going this episode, if only to do the quest!" We then hear one of the castaway's voices as we see a shot of all twenty contestants forming a line. "I don't care about this game... I quit the game to search for the eye!" "Who will be the next to go? Find out in a special episode of Total Drama Equestria! Don't miss it!"
