-------------------
Chris: Last time on Total Drama Equestria, due to a 'misunderstanding' with a practical joke on my part, the players ended up being prisoners of six paranoid pony heroes. So yours truly, along with Chef, Discord and Luna breaks into their dreams, forcing our players to face their nightmares and memories for invincibility, especially when dealing with dreams of the heroes along with appearances by Shadow Dragon and Grimmore. While the players do that, the hosts and I broke into Celestia's dream to find out what she's hiding. And boy, it is a bad one. Turns out centuries ago, the princesses got a honorary uncle named Tuerto who went out of his mind and is trying to kill everypony. Not pretty, even I wouldn't go that far. Once the players' time is done, Beth and Tyler became the next players to go...and now here's where things get twist.
We see Chris in the throne room looking to the camera as he speaks, "They must now figure out a way to break out of Ponyville and get here to the castle as the princess got something important that will change everything, especially involving Tuerto. Will they get out? This episode is a major turning point as we may have to get rid more than 2 players than usual. Who will be the next to go? Find out now in this dramatic, thrilling episode of..." As he ends the intro, we pan back until we go to outside of 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 Thirteen: Drama Weather Fiends
It was quiet in Ponyville as someone sneaks into the library, looking around. Good, no one's around. Whoever it is quietly heads into the basement where the lab is at and heads to the chest labeled "Warning: Powerful Artifacts! Stay Out! That Means You Too, Spike'!
The figure opens the chest and search through it. The intruder grins as she picks up some sort of belt and closes the chest before putting the said belt on. Once all is secured, the figure quickly rushes out of the library, unseen or disturbed....
The figure rushes over through Ponyville and quickly heads to behind a building where Gwen is at. She and Heather were seen in fishing gear as they seemed to be waiting for a few people.. They got to meet up with Discord to get out of Ponyville and figure out what the princesses want to speak to them about.
"About time, Heather," Gwen said to Heather, the one who broke into the library. "What took you so long?"
"Relax; I got something in case the disguises or the alibi fails." Heather said to Gwen with a smirk. "Hopefully the others can get here soon; we must get out of town and meet up with Discord."
-------------------
Heather The whole town is practically under Marshall Law thanks to Chris's dumb joke. If we wanna get out of here, we got to do so quietly.
------------------
As the two waited, a familiar voice is heard, "Gwen? Heather?"
Gwen/Heather pause as they yelped, "Oh no..." They turn to see the Mane Six coming up to them, Ben, Chase, Nyx, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike and Phobos amongst the group.
"And where do you 20 think you're going?" Twilight ask suspiciously. The players yelp. Busted!
"Errr, do we know you madam?" Gwen asks in a badly disguised voice.
"Oooh; Nice disguises; Going to a costume party, Gwen?" Pinkie asks her friends eagerly and happily. "Why wasn't I told???"
"Err; I don't know this 'Gwen'." Gwen said in a bad voice.
Twilight sighs, shaking her head at this. The players groan as they remove their disguises, the Alicorn is obviously not fooled.
"Bad disguises," Gwen ask Twilight sheepishly.
Twilight looks at their get-up. "What is with that get-up? Where are you two going?" Twilight ask her new friends suspiciously. The TD players look concerned.
--------
Heather: (slaps herself) Ugh! I knew asking Ezekiel for ideas was a dumb idea! What was I thinking?!
------------
Gwen: It appears that the jig's up...but Heather...
----------
Heather spoke up, "Why, as you can see, we're all going fishing."
Gwen nods, "Exactly! All the Candrygontonia ponies love to fish!"
Applejack pause then spoke, "Funny, Ah don't recall seeing yew fishin' before..."
"Right and ponies don't normally fish." Sweetie said in bewilderment.
"I don't know much about fishing anyway." Rainbow remarks with a frown of suspicion. "Why should you?"
"Are we not permitted to grow as grown ponies?" Gwen asks her friends meekly.
"...I'm not entirely sure..." Ben said in hesitation. Weird, he got a weird feeling happening in his head, as did the others.
"Gwen, Heather!" A familiar voice came from out of nowhere.
Heather sighs in relief, "Well, if you don't believe us, here's some of our fishing buddies!"
Gwen and Heather turned... and their eyes widened in shock to see Scott and B wearing hunting clothes.
"Hey, girls; we're ready to go on the hunt!" Scott exclaims with a devilish smirk, not noticing the outfits at first.
"Deer hunting, for fresh air's sake," B comments in agreement, not relieving that he is about to ruin Gwen and Heather's ruse.
Gwen and Heather look at each other and groans. The latter gives a fake smile and ask nervously, "You mean 'FISHING', don't you, guys?"
B whispers, "Wait, we voted for the fishing thing?"
Scott whispers in anger, "I voted no on tha-"
Gwen quickly kicks Scott in the shin as he yelps. The others ponies look confused. Rarity ask, "Odd, is it fishing or deer hunting?"
"Oh dear, no deer hunting," Fluttershy said, shivering a bit. "I don't like slaughter."
"Right, say, what are you ponies up to?" Chase asks the TD ponies suspiciously.
Scott quickly said, "I'm sorry, I must have been mistaken! Did I say deer hunting? I meant 'fishing'!"
B chuckles nervously, "Yeah, we meant fishing!"
Rarity frowns, points a hoof while demanding, "Explain the hunting gear you're wearing, then!"
"Oh... uh..." Heather said, she needs a way out of this, but how?
Gwen quickly came to the rescue, explaining, "Well, you see, Scott and B are in charge of getting bait for the fish, and in this case, it just happens... to be..." The unicorn pauses. "...deer."
Scott and B nervously nods, adding, "Fish; Love; Deer."
The ponies are still unconvinced. Things got worse when another familiar voice spoke, "Hey guys!"
"There see, here comes our fishing friends!" B exclaims in triumph. Looks like things are going to be okay...
Okay, I spoke too soon! Gwen, Heather, Scott and B turn to see Bridgette, Katie and Sadie... and their eyes widened upon seeing Bridgette, Katie and Sadie holding surfboards.
"Hey guys, we're ready to go surfing!" Bridgette pauses as she notes something's wrong, "Wait, why are you four wearing..."
Gwen and Heather turned nervously towards the very confused ponies. Scootaloo looks confused, scratch her head while saying, "Okay, I'm confused."
"Yeah, which activities are you ponies doing anyway?" Phobos demands to the players in frustration.
"Right, is it fishing, hunting or surfboarding?" Nyx ask her friends in concern.
Gwen chuckles nervously as she said, "Excuse us a second."
Gwen, Heather, Scott, B, Bridgette, Katie and Sadie gathered around as they whispered to each other, with the ponies watching in confusion.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER...
The entire cast of Total Drama was now seen talking to each other, whispering a plan as some of them seemed to wearing a different get up than that of the other. The Mane Six, Ben, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Nyx, Spike, Phobos and Chase stopped being confused and just stared with very unimpressed faces, somehow not being convinced of any of this.
Everyone in the group nods, saying at once, "All right."
They then turned as Gwen coughed, "Okay... one more time..." The girl takes a deep breath, "We are ALL going fishing, but we have a method of fishing that we citizens of Candrygontonia usually do! So, you see, once Scott and B," She points to Scott and B, wearing hunter outfits, "get the deer bait..."
Heather points to Bridgette, Katie and Sadie, holding their surfboards to continue, "They hand it over to Bridgette, Katie and Sadie, who will surf over to Eva, Noah and Izzy...
Gwen points to Eva, Noah and Izzy, who were wearing camping gear to add, "Where THEY have set up camp. From here, Lindsay, Dawn and Sierra..."
Heather points to Lindsay, Dawn and Sierra, who were wearing scuba gear while saying, "...scuba-dives it into the lake to see which fish are the hungriest."
"They will then send a signal to Cody, Trent and Sam," Gwen said as she points to Cody, Trent and Sam, who were wearing swimming trunks, "who will then go swimming over to Harold and Leshawna..."
Heather points to Harold and Leshawna, who were wearing pirate gear to bring in, "...who will sail over to Brick and Ezekiel..."
Gwen points to Brick and Ezekiel, who were wearing Indian outfits to add, "...so they, in turn, can smoke signal the information back to me and Heather..."
"...so that we can fish with utmost... confidence."
Gwen and Heather then gave big smiles as the others look at them nervously.
"Hmmm...anything else we should know?" Nyx ask the newcomers, arching an eyebrow in confusion.
"Allow me." Heather said with a smug look as she came up front. The broken wing Pegasus clears her throat as she speaks, "Once we're done with what we just told you, we're also going to a convention in Canterlot, getting some final parts before heading out of Ponyville, meeting up with some celebrities. We are wearing this stuff so that Chris won't recognize us."
The group pauses, then weirdly Applejack spoke, "Ah don't know why...but Ah feel like Ah should trust yew."
"Yes, me too," Rarity said thoughtfully. "Those costumes look like they could fool Chris McColt."
The players look bewildered as Heather continues, "Why yes. So if you just let us leave town, we will do our fishing stuff, head to the convention, hang out and come back before you know it. I promise."
"Well, when you say it like that...how could we not trust you?" Ben asks suddenly, making Twilight look at him oddly.
"Plus, the princesses could be alive and attending so we want to prove that there are no robots involved, right?"
"Sadly, Tyler and Beth are still shaken so we got to leave them behind." Trent said, following along quickly.
Twilight pause... then smiles, "All right, sure. Have a great time, guys!" The others then started chatting excitedly as they were starting to go, with the other ponies with Twilight stared at her confusion, Chase saying 'She bought that?' Twilight waves to Gwen and Heather as she add, "Make sure you catch some big ones!"
Heather smirks, "I think we already have."
"No worries!" Gwen exclaims with a smirk. Looks like the ponies fell for it...which got better due to Heather's speaking.
"Oh, one more thing, we will need our magic and flying powers back, especially my tail." Heather said to Twilight with a successful smile, "Got to be prepared."
"Fine, okay." Twilight remarks with a shrug. The mare could do that before her friends could head off.
"And some treats, so we can bring something to eat!" Lindsay exclaims, following along with the whole thing.
"Oooh; I got a lot! And we can give you a farewell group!" Pinkie exclaims happily, while jumping up and down. The others nod, smiling in agreement.
----------------------
Cody: (shocked) Unbelievable! For once, one of Heather's lies actually came through for us! But how?!
-----------------
A while later, the TD players' magic and flying were restored, Pinkie gives them some treats for them to eat, and it appears that the gang can leave Ponyville without any problems.
"We will be back before you know it!" Leshawna exclaims as the TD ponies wave goodbye to the Mane Six's group. "We will be back in no time.
"Later! Bye! Too-too," Bridgette exclaims, waving goodbye as the players quickly head off.
As the TD players are heading out, Gwen and Trent trots up to Heather, the former ask, "Heather? How were you able to get them to listen for once?!"
Heather smirks as she shows a familiar belt buckle that the girl is wearing. The mare explains, "I stole this from the Alicorn's chest. According to a book that I read, it's a magic powerful artifact that makes ponies trust you easily as if with a spell. It doesn't work on ponies from other universes, which is why it didn't work on you bozos."
"Huh. That makes sense." Trent said thoughtfully. "But does it work on Alicorns? Twilight seems to be suspicious."
"That's why we must meet Discord and get out of town NOW."
As the gang watch them go, Fluttershy smiles while saying, "Oh, I do hope they have a wonderful time and stay away from Chris."
Everyone then started to wave as they left. Once Twilight and the others knew for sure they were out of earshot, Twilight frowned as she spoke, "Okay, now I KNOW they're lying!"
"What do you mean?" Rainbow asks Twilight puzzled.
"Look, I can smell something fishy. Why would they go and not take Tyler and Beth along to get help from the princesses, if they are indeed still alive?"
"Pinkie Promise! Remember your Pinkie Promise!" Pinkie hisses to Twilight in reminder. "You made it in the previous episode."
Twilight sighs, recalling the Pinkie Promise that she herself had indeed made in the previous episode. The mare frowns as she said, "We better check on Tyler and Beth..."
As the Mane Six, Ben, the foals and the Dragons head out, Chase pauses then turns to a hiding Tech nearby, "Tech..."
"Yeah, Chase?" Tech asks quietly to Chase.
"Make yourself useful. Use the portals to leave Ponyville and follow those new ponies, find out what's going on. I got a feeling that something's up that involves that new threat that we were told about."
"Yes sir!"
------------
Pretty soon, the Mane Six and Ben arrived back on the building as they knocked on the door.
"Beth, Tyler! We're here to do a check-up!" Twilight called as she knocked.
They paused when they heard... nothing inside.
"Beth?" Ben asked as he opened the door. "Tyler?"
They opened the door to see... the two lumps that were still covered under the blanket.
"They're still asleep?" Rarity asked, with her eyebrow raised.
Apple Bloom frowned as she came over to the lumps. Applejack said in concern, "Don't wake them, they could still be-"
"Guys, Ah know ‘dis trick." Apple Bloom frowned. "Those two are not under there. See?"
Apple Bloom then pulled the blankets off as it was revealed that it was just two piles of stuff under the blankets.
The Mane Six and Ben's eyes widened... as they then glared, Pinkie Pie saying, "WHAT THE HAY!"
Twilight glared as she said, "Right. Our new friends lied, Beth and Tyler escaped somehow and the nightmares we had were not real, despite that I made a Pinkie Promise in the last episode."
"But where would they go?" Rainbow asked.
Twilight glared. "They're getting out... and going straight into Chris's hands... Luckily, I noticed a little belt buckle that seemed to be something from a major artifact from my chest at the library."
"From the Forbidden Chest that I keep raiding every week?" Spike asked.
"Yes and..." Twilight stopped as she glared at Spike. "You raid the Forbidden Chest every week!"
"Yeah, for me," Phobos smiled. "I always wanted to play with the new stuff that gets added."
Twilight just rolled her eyes. "Well, anyway, I put a tracking device on each of my artifacts so I could track them down! Come on, follow me!"
Everyone nodded as they started to gallop off, Spike, Phobos, Nyx and the Cutie Mark Crusaders getting on each of the Mane Six's back as they started to run off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nearby the old tree stump, Discord waited as he noticed the Total Drama gang was arriving.
"Good, you're all here!" Discord said as everyone just ditched the disguises.
"Discord, can you please tell us what is up, and why the princesses aren't coming here to straighten everything?" Heather asked.
"We'd really like to know that!" Noah frowned.
Discord sighed. "I can't explain it. The princesses will be better explaining it to you. Come on, come on, this way!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eva: We then figured out how Discord managed to get here without the use of his magic. There's an old tree stump nearby that serves as a secret shortcut to the castle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sadie: None of us saw it before because Celestia and Luna were the only ones who knew about this secret passage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What is Discord doing here?" Twilight frowned as the Mane Six, Ben, Nyx, the CMC, Spike, Phobos and Chase were there, behind the bush.
Chase raised an eyebrow in curiosity as he watched Discord opening a tree stump entrance, and motions the Total Drama cast to get in, quick. "Curious... seems to be something inside that tree stump."
"But what, is the question?" Fluttershy paused in curiosity as Discord jumped in.
"You don't think Discord is IN on the whole Chris thing, is he?" Rainbow Dash frowned in suspicion.
"No, he wouldn't... would he?" Fluttershy asked as she was suddenly starting to doubt Discord.
"One way to find out; Come on," Twilight said as she motioned the others to follow her.
One by one, everypony went down the tree stump entrance as Chase, the last one coming in, closed the tree stump entrance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the gardens of Castle Canterlot, another tree stump opened up as the Total Drama cast jumped out of it, with Discord following behind.
"Okay, here we are in Castle Canterlot!" Discord said. "Come on, the princesses said they need to meet you in the other room. Follow me..."
"Hi, Discord!"
Discord screamed as everyone jumped. Their eyes widened as they saw...
Blaineley, standing there, waving; Discord groaned as he said, "Oh no, no!"
Discord then grabbed Blaineley by the arm and said, "Come on, let's get over to the inside of the castle faster!"
The others nodded as they followed Discord. Little did they know was that only a few moments after they left, the Mane Six and their group would arrive there shortly...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gwen: How does Blaineley keep FINDING us? And how does she manage to find an entrance back to Ponyville? That's what I want to know!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bridgette: (groans) Great, bad enough Blaineley is in here, but now this is getting worse!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From inside the throne room, Chris, Chef, Celestia and Luna waited as the Chris McColt and Chef Stallion robots were on standby, just in case they needed them. Chris and Chef nodded towards the control rooms with the curtains.
Discord came in as Celestia smiled. "Discord, did you get the contestants?"
"Them... and...someone else." Discord looked down. "I'm sorry, I don't know how, but she came back!"
The four blinked in confusion... until their eyes widened to see Discord dragging Blaineley inside, with the Total Drama cast/Final Twenty coming in.
"Oh me..." Celestia groaned.
"Hi, Celestia; I found the perfect book for Heather!" Blaineley said as she held up the book. "Indeed, you were right! In that bookstore in Japan, they were selling the last 'Tentacles for Dummies'!"
"Oh my God," Chris groaned as he whispered to Chef, "That was real, too?"
Celestia and Luna looked at each other nervously as they started to go near Blaineley, teeth obviously clenching in frustration.
Blaineley, not noticing in the slightest, opened the book as she read a passage from it, "According to the book, Heather's obsession with tentacles originated from the fact that she is just a young woman, curious about sex and wanting to do it with a boy."
Blaineley then turned and patted Heather on the Mane, saying, "Heather, I understand what you're going through. I accept you as the person you are. You'll find the perfect boy someday!"
Heather, obviously embarrassed, just nervously smiled, gave her a thumbs up as everyone was just giggling.
I would like to point out that ponies don't have thumbs, so Heather shouldn't have given Blaineley a thumbs up. Okay, maybe she didn't, but she did something with her hoof that gave it that impression.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heather: (groans) Never. Living; This; Down.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Celestia then patted Blaineley on the back as she smiled, teeth clenched. "Blaineley. Good job! Really, really, good job; I am so proud of you!"
Blaineley gave a smile of glee as she said, "Really? So, does this mean I can co-host?"
"Almost, my dear Blaineley, almost," Luna said, trying to think up another excuse. "There is just... one more mission we need you to do before we can get you to co-host the sho-"
"This is stupid!" Chris groaned as he turned to Blaineley. "Look, let's just straight up tell her the truth!"
Blaineley blinked as Celestia and Luna quickly shook their heads. "What do you mean?"
"Look, Blaineley, we lied, okay? Nobody, not even the princesses, wanted you here in the first place!" Chris frowned. "We made up that whole co-host thing to get you out of there! You would have EXPOSED the secret if we kept you in longer! We sent you on wild goose Chases to get you out of our hair! Don't you get it?"
Blaineley's eyes widened...as she giggled, "Oh, I get it. You're jealous!"
"Blaineley... look behind you." Chef groaned as he pointed behind Blaineley. "We had thirty-nine on the first day. There's twenty left! You think we'd just put our game on hold and wait for you?"
Blaineley paused as she slowly looked behind her. She started gasping as she was looking down in sadness. How had she not noticed?
Blaineley turned around as she asked, "Is this true, Celestia? Is this all true?"
Celestia frowned as she smiled nervously, with Luna shaking her head. "Blaineley, Blaineley, let us explain. You see, we DO want you around, it's ju-"
"Apparently, according to HIM, you don't!" Blaineley said, angrily... and she turned to Chris, "And YOU! How can you say that nobody wants me! It's what you told me when you too-"
"Guys, zip it! We have somebody incoming!" Chef said, pointing to the monitors.
"Oh crap!" Luna said. "Chris, Chef; take Blaineley and hide behind the curtains!"
Chris and Chef nodded as they dragged Blaineley and closed the curtains as they shut the curtains and activated the robots.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon, the Mane Six arrived into the throne room, all of them with angry, 'we're gonna get to the bottom of this!' looks on their faces, except for a concerned and worried Fluttershy.
"Oh, hey, ponies! What a surprise to see you all here!" Sam exclaimed to his friends awkwardly. Hoo boy, not good, the Mane Six is here along with Ben, the Dragons and the CMC. Even Chase is here as well.
"Don't play innocent with us, we are in no mood." Chase said to Sam sternly.
Twilight glares at the Total Drama cast asking in a mocking tone of voice, "'Fishing', huh; 'Convention', huh?"
Heather nervously tried another act, "Did we forget to mention that the fishing takes place in this room in Castle Canterlot?"
Gwen groaned, "Oh, give it up. They didn't buy it..."
"Buy it? Buy what? We didn't give out any bits, did we?" Pinkie asked confused, not understanding what Gwen is talking about.
"Don't you get it, Pinkie?! These guys here have been lying to us all this time!!!" Rainbow shouted angrily.
-------------------
Pinkie: And come to think of it, why do I keep going into these weird rooms, feeling like I could confess stuff...and things?
-----------------------------------------------
Now things were really in a hot pocket moment with the Mane Six and their party group truly beginning to suspect, something was going on. This got many of the Total Drama crew to feel concerned, they had done well in their lies, deceptions and magic to elude the truth being discovered, but what now?
"Alright, talk. What's been going on?" Twilight demanded.
"Yeah, with the whole Chris and Chef thing and less of you guys around, the princesses’ actions and the strange attacks, something's up." Rainbow Dash frowned.
"First, Chris kept announcing stuff on our speakers an' gave ye activities 'ta perform." Applejack said.
"Yes, and much of them were strange and unusual, it's like work, only random!" Rarity nods with a firm expression.
"Right, and as a random pony, even I think having so many assignment tasks is hard to follow!" Pinkie Pie nodded.
"Why won't you tell us what's going on, don't you trust us?" Fluttershy asked, feeling sad.
"Fluttershy's right, we've trusted you enough and you learn about us that we're friends. How about doing the same?" Ben stated that if the TDE bunch are truly good friends, they should trust even harsh and embarrassing secrets if there is a problem that needs help.
"Yeah, like who are you guys and where's your so-called town, really?" Spike pointed out.
"And what kinda mess have yah gotten in here that you been dodging the bullet since you came to our town?" Phobos narrowed his eyes.
From the serious eyes gazing at those here, the Total Drama crew knew that if they make an excuse, even if they put on a good act, it will not last and make those here crack. For some of the TDE bunch, they felt like the lie may have gone on long enough that...it may be time to come clean; truly even.
"Oh, never mind!" Rarity snapped as she spotted something nearby. The TD ponies yelped as Chris's robot, Chris McColt, was standing by, not activated. The hosts had forgotten to hide it! "We will talk with him right now!"
"Right, what gives, Chris?" Rainbow demands angrily, flying unknowingly to the robot. "We want some answers!"
The robot spoke...but oddly not to Rainbow as Chris McColt with Chris's voice spoke, "Look, what happened was a prank! Nothing happened to-"
Chris McColt suddenly spoke with a new voice, Blaineley's, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!""
The Mane Six's group looks confused as Chris McColt with Chris's voice explaining, "Shut up, not now!"
Chris McColt with Blaineley's voice screams angrily, "NO! NO! THIS IS COMPLETE BULLS**T! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! I JUST CAN'T! CELESTIA AND LUNA WANTED ME TO BE CO-HOSTS! THEY OFFERED!"
Every one of the Total Drama ponies are freaking out as Celestia and Luna's eyes boggled, Discord looked towards the curtain in worry, and the Mane Six and their group just stare at the Chris McColt robot in confusion.
"Did Chris just speak with a different voice?" Twilight asked her friends in bewilderment.
"If so, he definitely got a touch with his feminine side." Spike said in confusion.
Nyx then looked confused as she spotted a pair of high heels poking out from the curtains, making her ask, "Mommy? Do curtains have high heels?"
"Err, ignore that!" Noah exclaimed nervously, jumping up and trying to get the gang's attention away. "You never know what could happen."
"Yeah, don't worry about it!" Katie and Sadie exclaimed nervously at once.
"Well, then, how about we find out now?" Rainbow snapped as she grabbed a cord and opened the curtains. To the Mane Six's group's shock and surprise, there's Chris trying to calm the upset Blaineley down while Chef Hatchet looks alarmed by what just happened.
"Chris," Twilight and her group asked in shock and unison.
Upon discovery, Chris yelped as he closed the curtain before he spoke pathetically in the robot's voice, "Pay no attention to the three humans behind the curtain!"
Ben frowns as he asks, "Humans? What?" The stallion removes the curtains, exposing Chris once more.
Nyx gave a suspicious look to Celestia, demanding, "Grandma, what's going on here?"
------------
Gwen: (groans) Chris, you are an idiot.
-------------------
Eva: Well, the jig's up now.
-----------------
Ezekiel: We knew it would come down to this, eh. But didn't think it would finally happen.
--------------------------
Sierra: Ooooh, Chris is soooo busted. (Pauses, then looks shocked) What the hell?! We're busted!!!
----------------------
Dawn: My aura's sensing betrayal, shock and concerns. The time of the revealing is at hand.
----------------------
Discord groaned, "Uh-oh, looks like the jig is up..." He sighed. "Celestia, Luna, if you would?"
Celestia and Luna groaned as their horns glowed, "Everyone, back to normal."
To the Mane Six, Nyx, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, Phobos, Ben, and Chase's surprise, the Total Drama ponies glowed as they were all transformed back to their regular human forms.
--------------
Heather: Back to me again... (sighs) And I was getting used to using my tail, too.
------------------------------
Cody: Looks like the princesses have to come clean now. Shame, I missed being an Alicorn.
-------------------------------
Gwen: Chris, you're still an idiot.
----------------------------------
Izzy: (grins) I'm cuckoo for Coco Puffs!
----------------------------------
Twilight gasped in shock, "Oh my gosh...our friends... are humans?"
"Do their parents know about this?" Rarity asked in confusion.
"Hey, my parents don't need to know what I do 24/7!" Heather remarked to Rarity with a frown.
The MLP gang looks at the humans in concern, suspicion and/or upset, maybe all three. What's going on here?"
"Celestia, what is this?" Twilight ask Celestia in concern.
"Something for Total Drama," Chris said giving a sheepish look.
Celestia sighs as she explains, "I'm sorry, my faithful student... and to everyone."
"We were going to tell you about the whole thing... someday." Luna said, pausing a bit for a moment.
"Like when someday," Pinkie asks the princess curiously.
"Until... until the game was over," Celestia ask awkwardly as she smiles nervously. That was a bad answer apparently.
"You were going to keep us ponies for THAT long?!" Katie asks the Alicorn in shock and alarm, not believing what she's hearing.
Celestia sighs, "I'm sorry..." The Alicorn of the Sun felt terrible for what she was planning, even resort to not telling her former student, her son and everyone else as to what's going on.
"Let me get this straight. You mean to tell me this was all just a game?" Twilight ask in bewilderment. Come to think of it, Noah did slip something like that days before but he claimed it to be a role-playing thing!
"But... why? How did they get here? Why were they even playing here in Equestria... and...what the hay is Total Drama?" Rainbow asks in confusion.
"In no order... Total Drama is a TV Show in their world," Discord explains as he points to the Total Drama cast, "a reality show, you know, like Survivor, Amazing Race, the Bachelor, Big Brother... those types of shows. To answer your first question, the way to the portal affected teenagers' bodies, but not children or adult bodies, so we had to transform them into ponies... and as for why they were playing in Ponyville... well..." The chimera pulls out contract as he continues, "Do you remember a mysterious figure coming in, asking you to sign something for permission to do a small game in this town? That was me."
"Wait...a permission form?!" Twilight ask Discord in confusion.
"Well, I need your permission to allow Chris to do his show in your show as well as letting you and your friends be their hosts to where they will be living at."
"Oh horse feathers."
"Yeah! I mean, how else was Chris able to get to using locations in his World Tour season?" Pinkie asks with a laugh of amusement, much to the surprise of the others. "I mean, come on! Chris is a crazy meanie-pants but when it comes to his players..."
"Wait, you know about Total Drama?" Rarity asks Pinkie in shock.
"DUH; I saw every episode of the series, know the players, the events; every confession by heart! Ooh! Let me do the introductions!"
"Pinkie, I don't think..." Luna begins to speak, but faster than you can say 'Cupcakes' Pinkie begins zipping to the players. "...darn."
"That's Gwen! The Goth Girl and Boyfriend Stealer," Pinkie exclaims, introducing Gwen first.
"He wasn't her boyfriend at the time." Gwen explains to Pinkie awkwardly. The pink pony zips to Katie and Sadie.
"That's Katie and Sadie, the two BBFs with the same brains and everything!"
"Wow, it's like she knows everything of us!" Katie exclaims with a happy glee.
"Yeah; I mean, amazing!" Sadie remarks in agreement.
Pinkie zips to Bridgette, saying, "This here is Bridgette, the vegetarian surfer girl! BTW, Bridge, stay away from icy poles."
"Yeah, thanks for the reminder." Bridgette said awkwardly as Pinkie zips over to Trent.
"This here is Trent, Gwen's ex who once threw challenges for her in the second seasons! Wow, Trent. You should get back together with Gwen. You're better with her than she was with Duncan."
"Yeah, I think that already happened, Pinks." Trent said awkwardly.
Pinkie goes over to Heather, saying, "The Queen Bee, Heather; Oh, do yourself a favor. Dump Al. He isn't good for you."
"We were NEVER a couple, Pinkie! We were trolling Chris, thank you very much!" Heather snaps to Pinkie in annoyance as the pink pony goes over to Noah.
"Then this is Noah, the book worm who isn't into sports."
"Yeah, because of an incident in dodge ball." Noah explains to Pinkie while rolling his eyes.
Pinkie points to Sam who is playing a video game, saying, "This is Sam, the video game playing who is into mutant Dakotazoid!"
"Yep! She's my babe, no matter how she looks!" Sam exclaims to Pinkie proudly as the pink pony heads over to Leshawna.
"Leshawna, the big girl with the 'tude!"
"Hey, what's up?" Leshawna ask, giving a thumbs up yet an awkward smile to the others.
Pinkie goes over to Izzy while saying, "Izzy my Super Duper Favorite on the Show!"
"Oooh, oooh, let me finish these things, Pinks, let me!" Izzy laughs as she moves around, introducing the remaining cast players. "Scott the villain, Eva the bully, Brick the soldier, Ezekiel the former freakshow, Lindsay the clueless one, B the silent genius, Dawn the animal lover, Cody the Pervert, Sierra the Stalker and Harold the Nerd!"
"And that pretty much sums it up!"
--------------------
Brick: Geez, Pinkie and Izzy sure run through the introduction fast. It's like they are speedy hedgehogs!
-----------------------------
Lindsay: (confused) Uh, which one of us is the clueless one again?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly Blaineley snaps angrily to Celestia, interrupting what anyone else wanted to say, "I can't believe you never WANTED me here!"
"It's not true, Blaineley! We always would want you here, more than anything! We'd love for you to do anything!" Celestia exclaims to Blaineley, who looks hurt and betrayed by this.
"Look, I've been turned down for host of Total Drama because Chris was a complete Jerkass! All I want is to be part of this game; be close to a few friends... maybe make up for something I lost! But no, since I was turned down, I became a coffee girl for the first few months! I was just an errand girl, that was what people ALWAYS saw me as! Then, when I FINALLY get the chance to make it live on TV, hosting Celebrity Manhunt, I went close to the Total Drama set! Being with the castaways actually MEANT something to me!"
Almost everyone in the room was speechless. Blaineley wanted to be the host for this show? Didn't she say she turned the producers of Total Drama down? But maybe the woman lied because she felt upset back in Season 3.
Luna pausing, then spoke, "...wow..."
Blaineley got tears in her eyes, growling to Celestia, "Now tell me, Celestia... what do you want me to do? What is this mission you want me to do? If it's not anything stupid, I'll do it."
"Certainly... uh... your mission is..." Celestia said in hesitation. Now the Alicorn feels is even more bad for doing this now that she found out the woman's desires and hopes. Blaineley's eyes glimmer with hope. "...to go to Greenland... where there is a small shop with bucks in the end and star in the beginning, and get me a drink that requires caffeine, a little milk and no sugar, and put some whipped cream on it."
Blaineley eyes widened then she ask, "Wait... you just told me to go to a Starbucks in Greenland... to get you some coffee." The woman growls angrily. Celestia knew that she may have made a big mistake. "YOU WANT ME TO GET YOU SOME STARBUCKS COFFEE... IN GREENLAND?!!!" Celestia and Luna backs away as Blaineley growled. "That does it! I'm through! I tried everything I could to impress... but no, you'll never be impressed! I don't even want to look back at Total Drama anymore! I'm done! With you! All of you!"
Blaineley then turned to Chris as she snaps, "And you!" The woman sighs sadly. "I hope you enjoy your time on the spotlight... I'm sorry I wasted your time..."
Blaineley then sadly walked towards a portal that Celestia opened up as she walked off. Chris, for the first time, was starting to feel concerned.
"Blaineley, Blaineley, wait!" Chris yells out as he runs off into the portal after her. The TD cast, even though who were annoyed or accosted by Blaineley during the third season, felt concerned for her for the first time ever.
"Should I just..." Luna begins to ask her sister, wondering if she should go after Chris or Blaineley.
Celestia nods, spoke, "Not yet. Wait for Chris to come back."
--------------
Eva: Yep. Knew it; I knew Chris and Blaineley are an item.
----------------------
Sierra: This is going on my Total Drama page, "Chris and Blaineley: likely To Be A Couple."
---------------------
Applejack, looking confused, spoke up, "Okay, Ah done guess 'dis is pretty amazing now."
"So wait, you aren't upset over finding out what we really are?" Trent asks the ponies in surprise.
"Nah; Twilight was turned into a human before and we met some humans from Megan and your world." Rainbow remarked, crossing her upper forelegs a bit. "Can't say we like the lying part but I betcha there's a good reason."
"Unless Chris isn't really a murderer and there's another mad monster out there, doing those awful things like what happened with Lyra." Fluttershy said worried.
"...That's why we're cancelling the game now." Celestia said seriously, making the cast and ponies look stunned.
------------------
Gwen: (shocked) "Cancel the game?!" (pause) Well, if it was any other season or earlier, I would say 'yes'; But now?
-------------------------
B: This whole situation just made a huge HUGE turn!
-------------
Ezekiel: (worried) she can't cancel the game, eh! I came too far to give up now!
------------------
Scott: (frowns) she better not cancel the game. I got big plans and I ain't letting somepony louse it up now!
-----------
Rainbow: Wow, this feels a bit awesome! It's like I am doing this kinda thing in another lifetime, only I'm not playing! (Pause) I wonder if I'm winning in that life time?
------------
Applejack: (frowns) Shoot. How does one use 'dis thing anyhow; Uh...hello; Camera person?
-----------------
Rarity: Interesting. A confessional that appears when you think of it... (Grins) Stop by my Carousel Boutique! I can make you fabulous, Darling!
-----------
Fluttershy: (whimpers) Uh...hello... (Ducks down)
----------------
Twilight Sparkle: (pause) this is incredible! Just when we find out about this news... now we learn that the princesses are cancelling the event. (Pause) Odd... for some reason, being here in this confessional... it was as if I had two other lives that seemed to frequently use these types of confessionals... a religious princess and a black and white fat woman... but maybe that's just me...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You can't just start up a game and just tell us that we're cancelling halfway through!" Noah exclaims to Celestia in shock.
"Celestia, what is going on here? We want the truth!" Eva demands, wanting some answers.
Celestia pauses and sighs, "I guess I better tell you everything; But not in this room. Come with me to the downstairs library. I'll explain everything more to you there..."
As the gang heads on, Chase waits for a moment until they are out of hearing range, then made a dark portal appears. Dark Curse, in it, asks, "Well?"
"We may get a breakthrough. Those new ponies...are humans all along." Chase explains to Dark Curse sinisterly.
"Good. Is Tech with you?"
"Tech and some of our men should be spying on them, right now."
Dark Curse nods as he said, "Good. Use the Telekinesis spell so that we and the Apocalypse Ponies will hear and know what's going on. If it involves this new threat, then we may have an ally."
"Doing so now, Dark Curse," Chase said as he makes the portal disappear and follows the others quickly, the Telekinesis spell is activated.
----------------
(The real world, Ontario, Canada)
A very pissed off Blaineley was walking out of a portal as she sat down and looked up at the passing clouds in the sky. She sighed deeply as she looked down on the ground.
"Blaineley, Blaineley!"
Blaineley heard the voice and knew who it was, but didn't bother looking up. She knew that Chris just stepped out of the portal. Blaineley just frowned as she turned her back.
"Blaineley, what was all that back there? The whole thing, the-" Chris noticed Blaineley had her back turned. "...Look, it's not my fault the princesses didn't want you here."
"It's not about the princesses!" Blaineley frowned.
Chris knelt down towards Blaineley as he said, "Blaineley; come on. We were a team once..."
"That's just it, Chris!" Blaineley sighed as she looked over. "We USED to be a team. But when we accepted the jobs as host for the Total Drama seasons, you wanted to go solo, and they dumped me out!"
"Blaineley, come on! We were good buddies back in our acting school!" Chris smiled.
Blaineley couldn't help but give a small smile. "Oh, the memories..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHBACK
About 1998, around the time the nineties were quickly going down in style, a small acting school in Ontario was just being dismissed as a young Chris McClean, around twenty years old, was smiling. Today was the first day of the rest of his life. He dreamed about becoming an actor on the stage, and wanted to bring that success. However, he knew it wasn't going to be easy. He knew the ins and outs of acting as he was practicing the first part. He looked at his itinerary for his class he was taking, and noticed the first assignment had to do with 'Actors working with other actors'.
Now, Chris was a solitary man. He usually liked working by himself... but he knew he had to work with someone to get an A for that course. Chris flipped the pages to see which play he was assigned. It was a scene from 'Romeo and Juliet'. He groaned when he realized he needed to find a girl for the role of Juliet.
"Excuse me, do you have a partner?"
Chris paused as he turned to see a pretty youthful college woman with blonde hair, and a blue shirt and shorts. Chris smiled. "Uh, no, I don't. Do you have one?"
"Unfortunately, no," The woman sighed as she sat down. "All the good people usually get taken... not you it seems."
Chris chuckled, "First time being an actress, hm?"
"Well... I want to be in the spotlight." The girl blushed. "But... I am a little camera-shy."
"Hey, I'm not!" Chris chuckled. "I've always been wanting to perform for cameras all my life! I can even help you out!"
"That sounds great!" The girl smiled. "I'm... Mildred. But I really hate that name..."
"How about Blaineley; Sounds like a great stage name, doesn't it?" Chris laughed.
The girl, formerly known as Mildred, just giggled. "That's a very ridiculous name, but it's really cute!"
"I'm Chris! You can call me Chris!" Chris smirked. "I'm part of the McClean family!"
"Wait, McClean, as in 'Jerry McClean', the method actor?" Mildred... ahem, Blaineley... gasped.
"Yeah, Jerry's my good ol' dad." Chris chuckled. "He taught me all the basics on acting! I haven't quite found my niche yet, but I was hoping I'd find it in acting school!"
"Hey, maybe we'll end up with the same career!" Blaineley laughed. "What do you think; Andrews-O'Halloren-McClean, the Co-Ed partners?"
Chris raised an eyebrow as he said, "Who's your other friend?"
"No, it's just you and me, silly!" Blaineley laughed.
"But you said Andrews and O'Halloren, so..." Chris was confused.
Blaineley sighed. "My mom married twice, that's how I got stuck with two last names."
Chris chuckled. "Oh, I see! Shall we get to work on our acting?"
Blaineley laughed. "I'd like that."
END FLASHBACK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We succeeded in our scenes so perfectly..." Blaineley sighed.
"Yeah, I remember that!" Chris smiled. "Man, were WE the hit of our classes!"
Blaineley giggled a bit. "And even after we graduated, we continued on to do a few stage performances for a few years..."
"Macbeth... Midsummer Night's Dream... Dracula... we were like... 'The Cutest Couple on Stage'! Chris said. "Eventually, we decided to change up our act as we finally found something we were both good act..."
"Making fun of today's youth!" both of them laughed. They sighed as they held each other's hands. Chris quickly noticed as he blushed, pulling his hand away.
"Of course, we only did this as friends..." Chris assured.
"Oh, definitely, for sure," Blaineley chuckled nervously.
"Where did it all fall apart?" Chris sighed.
"The moment when host volunteers for a new reality series started..." Blaineley sighed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHBACK
It was 2006. By then, Blaineley and Chris had been the big hit of the century. Chris was in a formal attire as Blaineley was wearing her classic red dress, whilst wearing a green ring.
Blaineley giggled as she kissed her green ring, "For luck."
Chris rolled his eyes as he said, "Blaineley, you don't need luck; besides, you got like, a couple of those things back in your apartment!"
"Well, they're my mother's. I have to respect her legacy, after all." Blaineley smiled as the two looked at each other, blushing. It appeared that both have been acting together for a long time... and rumors spread that the two always hung out like a married couple... but truth be told, they denied the feelings... until Blaineley, for a couple of days now, was starting to notice Chris as more than a friend. It's been at least eight years since the two have met and acted together.
Blaineley smiled as she remembered all the lessons she learned from Chris, even down to the moment where one day on the stage, Chris and Blaineley forgot their lines they had to do, and just completely improvised onstage about teenagers and what annoying habits they had. Once they realized their niche, they proceeded to make jokes about teenagers of today and how far they would be willing to go with the jokes... and turned out, the crowd was pleased... pleased enough where they would often joke that teens would be willing to do anything, whether it was for a new girlfriend or boyfriend, or be it for money... that was what the flyers sent to them for 'Total Drama' host volunteers came in, as they were both excited for this. Finally, their moment on television would finally come true!
Naturally, both of them showed off their amazing talent and both had gotten the parts of hosts. But the producers had a problem... they clearly needed one host for the show, as two would have spoiled everything. So, they needed to get rid of one of them... they knew they had to keep Chris.
The next day after both had gotten the parts (and after they celebrated with a few bits of wine (but not getting drunk enough to do something crazy), they had received a call to go back to the studios.
Chris and Blaineley sat down as they met up with what seemed to be a tall agent with a smile on his face.
"Chris, Blaineley, my people, watched your auditions, loved it, you were killing out there!" The agent smiled. "Now, let's talk future!"
Chris raised an eyebrow. "You mean... a big raise in our camera times?"
Blaineley chuckled a bit. That was what she loved most about Chris; Chris would always talk about the money first.
"Whoa, whoa, let's not go so fast!" The agent laughed. "I was thinking of doing some promotion by giving the show some publicity around Canada, even mentioning the hosts' name on the marquis, on top..."
"...saying Chris and Blaineley?" Blaineley said in excitement.
The agent stared at the girl blankly as he said, "Maybe... Blaineley, could you excuse me and Chris for a second? Thanks!"
Blaineley blinked in concern as Chris looked up in confusion. Blaineley started, "Uh, if we're making a major decision, I'd like to be-"
"Thanks!" The agent impatiently said, shooing Blaineley away.
Blaineley sighed as she got up and left the room. Maybe whatever the agent wanted to talk with Chris about, it probably was big. Hopefully Chris will mention how big of a team they were. Still, she was excited! Her first gig on TV!
With Chris and the agent, the agent sighed in relief as he turned to Chris. "Chris McClean, listen, buddy, your girlfriend here... she's not exactly host material!"
Chris blinked. "Well, she may not be, but me and Blaineley... we're a team! We've been working together for eight years!"
"And she's been holding back your TRUE potential!" The agent gave a smile. "I know you have a little bit of a sadistic side in you somewhere! You like to do a show to torture teens, right?"
"Well, I'd like to try anything just once." Chris shrugged. "But I figure me and Blaineley, we work thirty grand a week for that one reality show..."
"Ditch her, and..." The agent whispered in his ear as Chris raised an eyebrow in shock.
"How much," Chris paused as the agent whispered again. Chris' eyes widened. "That... is a lot!"
"And if this first season succeeds, you'll earn MORE than what you'll receive weekly!" The agent smiled. "All you need to do is cut out Blaineley..."
Chris paused as if to think...
Back with Blaineley, she smiled as she saw Chris coming out... she didn't notice that Chris has a slight attitude change. "Chris, thank goodness! What did you and the agent talk about?"
"...he told me I had to cut you off the act, make me go solo." Chris said.
Blaineley gasped in shock. "But you turned them down, right? We're a team, you and I!"
"Not anymore!" Chris smirked. "When I heard how much money I can make while going solo, I took the opportunity!"
"What?" Blaineley said in shock. "You're cutting me off?"
"Everyone is! Apparently, nobody wants YOU around!" Chris gave a smile. "They only want little ol' me! And hey, no way I can say no to more money!"
Blaineley's heart was broken, "But... what about us? What about everything we've done together? Doesn't our friendship mean ANYTHING to you?"
Chris rolled his eyes. "Friendship is overrated! The audiences don't care about that! They want to see excitement, attitude and a lot of drama! This is what this reality series holds, and I'm taking every opportunity!"
Blaineley's eyes swelled up. "But... where will I go?"
"Oh, I don't know... but the cameras certainly don't want to see YOU!" Chris laughed. "At best, the agent said, 'she's best fit as a coffee girl'! Anyway, there's nothing more we have to give, so it's time for me to be on my own, and for you to go on your way!"
"Chris, no! I want you with me! Please, Chris!" Blaineley cried. "I love you, Chris!"
Chris stopped for a minute, looking at Blaineley... then frowned as he said, "Blaineley... I taught you everything you needed to know. But there is one thing that even I don't think you learned... and that is how to say good-bye!"
Blaineley just stared in shock as Chris started to walk on his way, probably to a make-up chair. Blaineley, clearly upset, yelled back, "I'll never forget this, Chris! I hope this so called season flops!"
Blaineley then got up as she started marching off. "I never even wanted to be a host for this anyway! You can all... ALL SUCK IT!"
Blaineley then marched out of the building in anger... but she was driven to tears as soon as she walked out...
END FLASHBACK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...it ended right when it began..." Blaineley said as Chris paused.
"Blaineley... I had no idea that..." Chris started.
"Save it, Chris!" Blaineley growled. "I already told you that I was, as you and so many others said, 'Coffee girl'. My chance on television appeared three months later, when I was hired to do the weather for a local channel. They liked my witty humor so much, about the time after your first season ended, they put me alongside a co-host to do some hunts on celebrities, to get the hot scoop on them, AKA, what we love to do so much, whilst you were handling your fame and fortune quite well!"
Chris paused as he listened to Blaineley, as she continued her story. "When the opportunity arose to talk about your second season of Total Drama, I jumped at the chance, to talk about all the contestants that were in and... I guess somewhere in my heart... I wanted to know how you were doing. After that special aired, I quit Celebrity Manhunt, and I got a little close to the Aftermath shows, to show my true potential."
"And I have to admit..." Chris smirked. "You were as bad and very torturous with the teens that I was! You were pretty clever, sending Bridgette away to a different country!"
Blaineley chuckled. "Yes, that was quite a story... but they put in a hatred for me, I hated it! I don't even KNOW how Geoff managed to secure my records and everything on my life! Then, when I went on your third season, which I won..."
"You forced yourself in, and you know it!" Chris rolled his eyes.
"Oh don't deny it, McClean! You still knew me from a long time ago, you still had a heart!" Blaineley argued. "But when I got eliminated, I was close to telling the truth... CLOSE! But then you pushed me and... you know the rest, I got my body broken, I had to be in a stretcher, I was being chewed on by a bear..."
"That reminds me, didn't I see you date that bear on the second episode of Total Drama All-Stars!" Chris asked, "Bestiality, much?"
"NO!" Blaineley said. "The bear actually felt bad for me and cuddled to me as a pet after the bandages were removed, so I kept him in for a while, knowing how my rep on television was ruined... I had to return him back to his home... afterwards, I went back to hosting Celebrity Manhunt with Josh...until we received the free car invitations. I guess... in the midst of figuring out I was in another Total Drama season, I got a little carried away... it wasn't just the ponies I loved and wanted to be near... I wanted to be near you too... but now I see it..."
"Blaineley..." Chris started, but Blaineley stopped Chris.
"No, you were right. Celestia and Luna were in the right too. I'll never be anything more... but an errand girl. Chris, you were right. I'll never be able to impress you on the same level." Blaineley sighed as she got up. "I'm going home to my thoughts..."
Chris just paused as Blaineley got up and started to leave. Chris then looked down to the ground. After hearing Blaineley's story, he was just in shock. What had he become? What had happened to his old friend? Was it his greed? Why did he feel... guilty when he saw Blaineley just leaving? He sighed as he went back towards the portal. Clearly, he had a lot to think about...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Back in Equestria, down in the library in Castle Canterlot)
Everyone that was a Total Drama contestant and the Mane Six and their group followed Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Discord, and Chef downstairs into the library (as they made a few stops along the way, Scott making an unknown stop in an area as he was hiding something inside a backpack. What was it? You'll see...) as they looked around.
"Wow... you've got a big library!" Noah said in amazement.
"I do, don't I?" Celestia giggled. "Go ahead; feel free to take a book. I don't mind, you don't have to return it."
The Total Drama cast now seemed a little interested as they took a look around the library. Noah smiled as he noticed another 'History of Equestria: the Year 16 B.E.'!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noah: The missing month that was in the complete history of Equestria came to my mind the minute I laid eyes on the book. I took it and looked to see what happened that month... but nothing. There was no trace of it...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Noah frowned, wondering what happened to the missing month, Noah blinked as he noticed Katie was reading something, "Hey, Katie, whatcha reading?"
"Just a little book I found." Katie said as she smiled.
Noah then looked at the title and blinked when he noticed what seemed to be a children's illustration of what seemed to be a brown spiky mane, red furred pony with a purple vest, white hooves, and an assortment of tattoos with a barrel cutie mark, alongside a purple Spyro-like dragon with an eye patch sitting near the beach as they were fishing. He read the title.
"...'Pirate Skull Island'?" Noah raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't it interesting?" Katie smiled. "I found this in the history section!"
Noah raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't it be in the children's section? It's clearly a children's book."
"No, it's history! See, pictures and everything!" Katie smiled as she pointed to the various children's pictures of pirate ponies walking around.
"...Katie, honey, you know Pirate Skull Island does not exist, right?" Noah asked.
"It exists!" Katie argued. "If it didn't, it wouldn't be in the history section, would it?"
Noah paused. Then he smiled as he stroked her hair. "All right, Katie Kat. If you believe in this place, I do too."
Katie giggled as she snuggled against Noah. Twilight watched this with a smile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twilight: I think it's cute that Noah and Katie are together. Noah doesn't argue with her, she doesn't argue with him. They really look more comfortable around each other.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gwen: As much fun as exploring this library would be, we had a real reason for coming here...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as everyone was done exploring the library, Celestia, Luna, Discord and Chef gathered as Celestia had a bunch of stuff next to her, Luna holding up the first thing they wanted to show the others. Celestia sighed as everyone sat down, now wanting an answer.
"Okay, I may as well start at the very beginning." Celestia took a deep breath. "You all remember the days of Megan and how she managed to help make the world of ponies a better place."
"Of course we do." Twilight nodded.
"It's in every history book there is!" Trent said.
"But what does ‘dis have ‘ta do wit’ what's going on?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Okay... now you all know the story with me and Megan, how me and Luna are adopted by Megan and she raised us after the Princess Ponies created us?" Luna asked.
"Yes, yes, we know the story!" Eva frowned.
"But what does this have to do with what's going on?" Rainbow Dash said impatiently.
"Well, you do know about how happy our childhood was, and everything ended when Megan mysteriously disappeared and we were in charge of getting rid of Discord?" Celestia asked.
"Yes, yes, yew told us ‘de entire story!" Applejack frowned, impatiently.
"And what we didn't hear from you, we read from the history books!" Bridgette frowned.
"But like we're trying to ask, what does this do with what is going on?" Fluttershy frowned, as even SHE was getting annoyed.
"Well, we know of Megan's history that she wrote a series of books based on our first generation adventures." Luna said. "Well... there was another story in that life that Megan never wrote... because the memories of that month had been erased... from her memory, from ANYBODY who lived in that generation's memory... the month of April 11, 16 B.E. and May 11, 16 B.E."
That got everybody, especially Noah and Twilight's, attention; A missing month in Megan's history.
"But it didn't start out this way." Discord said as he pulled out some flash cards. "During the months before it, there was a town of ponies that lived pretty much happy lives."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eva: So, they lived happy lives until that month came? Wonder what that was about?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dawn: My aura senses are tingling... something tells me that this isn't a child-friendly story...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sweetie Belle: Oh man, this is so exciting! Life with young Celestia and Luna before they became the princesses we know them as today!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ben: Another piece of history from long ago? Well, I'm interested.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Including one pony in particular, just a regular pony, nobody in particular, a regular pony that had an every-day life like everybody else..." Celestia said as she pulled out the only picture that still remained of the black and blue pony that wasn't in a group photo, before he turned into the monster that Celestia (and now Luna) had remembered vividly. "This, my friends, is a horseshoe salespony... known as Tuerto."
The people and ponies looked at the photo, with very confused looks as Ben said, "Uh, who?"
Luna said, "We'd figured you'd have that look of confusion."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHBACK
It was the year 8 B.E. as a young mare was walking with a young black and blue pony in hoof as we hear Celestia's voice.
"He was around before Megan came along. At a young age, he would always be excited for a great destiny, that when he got his cutie mark, he'd know his true destiny!"
"Hey Mom, you think I can be the first person on the moon?" Young Tuerto asked. "Or maybe the first pony to swim a hundred laps around the world? O-"
"Here we are, dear, the Cutie Mark Pool!" The young mare, Tuerto's mother, smiled as Young Tuerto gasped in excitement.
"It was a dream come true for Tuerto when he made his first dive into the Cutie Mark Pool." Celestia explained.
Young Tuerto was later seen smiling as he was now swimming around, smiling as he heard a deep voice.
"Tuerto," The voice boomed. "Welcome to the Cutie Mark Pool. Your cutie mark will be on your way."
Young Tuerto gasped and smiled as he felt something on his flank. It felt like being branded with a symbol of destiny. Young Tuerto gave a big smile as the Voice of the Cutie Mark Pool boomed, "Your cutie mark has been determined. Good luck with your destiny, and always remember... 'Swim in the pool only once, to get your future determined. Never swim in the same pool twice, something dreadful will happen to your life'."
As soon as Young Tuerto got out of the pool, he looked over to see what his Cutie Mark was... but looked at it in confusion.
"When Tuerto came out of the Cutie Mark Pool, he saw that his cutie mark was a horseshoe. At first he didn't know what it meant, but he figured in time it'll come to him, maybe he'd have an epic destiny..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was around the year 12 B.E. The time of Tirek was over, and every pony was happy. Every pony but a very adult Tuerto; Sure, he served a smile and a joke for people as he was selling horseshoes to any pony that needed it.
"But he later figured out that it meant he was a horseshoe salespony, which happened to be the worst job in the world, according to most people. But Tuerto kept up that optimistic approach, not letting anybody know his sadness. He may have been a little envious of Megan, who at the time was a brand new person to come in. I guess it was because she served a destiny to destroy Tirek and help us ponies through our lives.
Tuerto looked up from his job to see Megan being gathered around by the ponies, whose were huge fans. Tuerto sighed, a little jealous. He wished he could have THAT type of attention.
"He thought he'd be stuck in that rut, but his life began to change one day..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was around the year 14 B.E. in Ponyland time, 1986 in Earth time for Megan. Megan was here with the Princess Ponies as she looked around the other ponies that attended.
Celestia explained, "You see, when we were born/created, the Princess Ponies knew that they needed more than a female figure for us to look up to. They put every male pony's name in a hat... and Tuerto's name was the first one that was picked."
When his name was heard being called, Tuerto looked up in interest. He began to smile as he started to come over to the stands. Megan extended a hand to Tuerto as Tuerto gladly shook it. Tuerto then looked at the smiles of the young, new foals as he gladly gave a little wave.
"He was... surprisingly happy that he was picked. He figured, this was the destiny he longed for... to be the father figure... or uncle figure, in our case... for the new princesses that were born. And it made sense, since he did like children. Just the sight of a child made him smile. And for about a year, he felt like that."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was around the year 15 B.E. when Tuerto was talking with Megan about the wonders of Earth as Celestia and Luna (then one year old fillies) and Spykoran were helping out around his horseshoe store.
"But overtime, he felt that it wasn't enough. I mean, taking care of children, it wasn't entirely an adventure. But he did become friends with Megan, more curious about Earth and what glorious places there were. He learned everything about Earth."
"And there's a place called Paris, France! They serve pretty good cheese over there, you should check it out sometime." Megan said.
"I think I might." Tuerto laughed. "You know, Megan, I wish I was a horse living on Earth. I'd probably be destined for greatness there."
"Aw, but Tuerto, you're much happier here." Megan smiled.
"Well, at least let me explore Earth! Who knows, I may like it!" Tuerto smiled.
Megan couldn't help but laugh.
"Tuerto felt that his greatness revolved around Earth. He wanted to have a destiny, something that could put him up as one of the most famous ponies in the world..."
END FLASHBACK
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Almost liked... us when we're competing in Total Drama." Heather said.
"You asked him what he wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see... he wanted to be famous." Harold said.
"Yes, something liked that." Celestia said. "But unlike your game, Tuerto wanted more than money or fame. He wanted to be involved in a destiny, no matter how crazy it was. But one thing that was always common with Tuerto the day after he got his Cutie Mark. Every day, around five PM, he would always come back to make a visit to the Cutie Mark Pool... and most times he'd just stare in the water, contemplating his life."
"What happened to Tuerto?" Rarity asked.
Celestia sighed as Luna, Discord and Chef looked down. "Around April tenth, 16 B.E., Tuerto made another visit to the Cutie Mark Pool... around that time, I was following him... he was as usual, contemplating his life... but then he did something strange. He dove into the water of the Cutie Mark Pool."
Everyone gasped as Pinkie asked, "Wait, wait; didn't he remember the rules of the Cutie Mark Pool?"
"He did, but he was so blinded by a want for destiny that he didn't care what the consequences were..." Celestia said. "That day, Tuerto changed to the point where he wasn't Tuerto anymore... but the Master Welara."
Everyone looked up in interest as Izzy gasped, "THE MASTER WELARA! THE MASTER WELARA IS HERE!"
Izzy paused. "What's a Master Welara?"
"A form that was once the Cutie Mark Pool, but when combined with another body, is a force to be reckoned with," Celestia explained. "But just to make this easier, let's just call him Tuerto. Anyway, he's malicious..."
"You don't say?" Izzy said in interest.
"...ferocious..." Celestia said. "...and most of all... hates humans with a passion."
Everyone just looked at each other.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brick: A once, nice old uncle that the princesses had, turned psychopathic? (sighs) This is going well...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"None of us has a picture of what Tuerto looked like in the Master Welara form... but we do have memories stored if you wish to see them." Celestia sighed. "I'm warning you ahead of time, they're very violent."
"So, how powerful IS Tuerto, anyway?" Ezekiel asked.
Celestia sighed as she started to sing.
(To the tune of ’The Backson Song’ from ’Winnie The Pooh’)
(Celestia)
He’s a monster creeping from long ago
But back then, he was not so low,
Celestia sighed as she looked up, the Total Drama gang and the others watching.
He used to be a horseshoe stud,
With comedic beats, that aren’t duds
Until he dove into the lake
To get a prophecy that’s fake!
Celestia's eyes then turned serious as she started singing in an uptone beat.
His eyes then turned into weapons,
One freezes, the other, you are done!
He believes that he is saving us,
But I can tell you that he has turned psycho!
Everyone was starting to feel scared when they heard that the power was relied on Tuerto's eyes.
Tuerto!
(Everyone)
Tuerto!
(Celestia)
Tuerto!
(Everyone)
Tuerto!
Oh no!!!!!
(Pause the song)
"His eyes were the weapons?" Sadie asked, nervously.
"Indeed..." Celestia nodded. "The powers in those eyes RIVALED that of the Dark Mystic Ponies AND Grimmore combined."
"What do they do?" Katie asked.
"Well..." Celestia sighed. "You know how Lyra was parafried? That is the left eye's power, to freeze/paralyze/petrify ponies in their tracks."
"Wait; that was Tuerto's work," Twilight said in shock as everyone looked up.
"I'll get to it when we get there..." Celestia sighed. "Anyway, the right eye can injure a human beyond help... except for the medicine of an ancient zebra, so someone like Zecora could cure the human in about a couple of weeks."
"What happens when both eyes get combined together?" Leshawna asked in curiosity.
"Nobody knows... when Tuerto FINALLY confronted us... well, here's the memory of that battle." Celestia said as she opened up a memory portal. "Maybe it'll be better just showing it off."
Everyone gathered around as they watched Celestia's memory unfold...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was April 31st, 16 B.E. A quiet clearing was seen in the foreground as birds were chirping; Truly peaceful.
All of a sudden, Megan (as a pony, wearing her clothes) and Applejack I came running out of the field, carrying Celestia, Luna and Spykoran with them.
"I think we're too far away now..." Applejack I sighed in relief. "You kids okay?"
Celestia and Luna nodded as Spykoran decided to keep watch.
"Megan, your cutie mark... is it those three green rings?" Celestia asked.
"Let's see for sure." Megan said as she was about to pull down her shorts to reveal the cutie mark.
Spykoran looked out and gasped, "Oh no! Celestia, Luna, Applejack, hide! Tuert- the Master Welara is coming this way!"
Celestia, Luna and Applejack I jumped into some nearby bushes as Spykoran stood his ground with Megan.
Tuerto then stepped out of the bush as he seemed to be holding the head of what was once a zebra. As he gnawed on the zebra's ear, he looked up to see Megan and Spykoran standing their ground, Megan had now transformed into a pony.
As Tuerto threw the zebra head aside, he glared as he said, "Well... once-human... Red Guy... I see that you are brave enough to take on someone like me!"
Megan held her stance as Spykoran just blinked in confusion, "Red Who?"
"I'm not afraid of you!" Megan frowned, still in her stance.
"I'm surprised to see you're not running in fear. You should be. All humans should be afraid of the Master Welara." Tuerto smirked as he glared. "All I want is a perfect world... every world to be perfect... no violence, no wars; no humans to hurt other creatures... just a perfect life..."
"Your plan to make the perfect world is to cause MORE violence by killing off the human race, yeah, great plan!" Megan rolled her eyes. "I'm not running from you, Tuerto!"
"A brave soul... yet very stupid," Tuerto chuckled as he shut his eyes as Megan stood her stance. Young Celestia, Young Luna and Applejack I watched as Spike stared in worry.
The ones watching the flashback were worried too... and a little scared.
"Now, I'm going to close my eyes and count to ten. It'll make the chase more interesting... for me." Tuerto smirked. "1...2... 3..."
Tuerto frowned as he opened an eye, seeing that Megan is still standing. "4...okay; now you're just trying my patience! 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... TEN!"
Tuerto's right eye glowed as a beam from the eye went right through Megan's heart... but to his surprise, she didn't seem to be affected by the eye. Tuerto frowned as he used his left eye to try to parafry Megan... but was surprised to see Megan still standing.
Young Celestia, Young Luna and Applejack I, from nearby, cheered silently as Applejack I said, "Boy howdy! Megan is resistant! She has to be the Chosen One for sure!"
"That's awesome!" Luna smiled.
Tuerto frowned as he glared at Megan. "So... both my eyes can't affect you individually... I guess you are the Chosen One as those zebras proclaimed... but let me see what cutie mark you have."
"None of your business," Megan frowned as Tuerto came closer.
"Don't come any closer!" Spykoran said as he stood in front of Megan. "You're going to have to get past me!"
Tuerto, not in the least bit fazed, held up his hoof and made a circle with it, causing Spykoran to yelp as he was kicked in the yahoos. Spykoran, in a squeaky voice, said, "Wow, you got past me."
Spykoran then fainted as Megan was now feeling a bit nervous. Megan held her stance as she prepared to kick Tuerto in the face... but Tuerto grabbed Megan's hoof as she yelped. "Shall we?"
"NO! DON'T!" Megan screamed as Tuerto punched Megan in the snout, causing her to bleed.
Young Celestia, Young Luna and Applejack I could only watch in pure horror in what was occurring. Wasn't she immune to everything?
Megan cried as she tried to fight back, but Tuerto frowned as he bit her hand, causing Megan to scream as she fell to the ground. For extra assurance, Tuerto looked towards Megan's back legs as he took them, causing Megan to scream out in pain as snapping sounds were clearly heard.
The ones watching the flashback just stepped back in horror as they watched Tuerto using his mouth to rip off Megan's shorts. Tuerto then looked closely at the cutie mark that resided on Megan's rear end. "Hmmm... a friendship bracelet and a crown indicating a hero... but I don't see a single green ring... and if I recall your prophecy correctly, the human-turned-pony with the cutie mark of three green rings linked together was supposed to kill me?"
Tuerto laughed as he used some type of magic neither unicorn NOR alicorn to change Megan back into a human. She was clearly broken beyond anything... she was crying, her mouth was bleeding, she had hoofprints on her stomach, her hand now had a bite mark, and there were two broken legs that Megan could not walk on. Megan tried to get up, but she couldn't.
"No..." Young Celestia cried.
Everyone watching the flashback was now severely scared. If Tuerto could do that... nobody was safe.
"Let's see what happens if both eyes are combined together. My eyes can't hurt you INDIVIDUALLY... BUT! Nothing said that both of them activated at the same time, now, can it?" Tuerto glared as both his eyes were focused on Megan.
"No, please, no!" Young Celestia started to cry as her horn was glowing. "...please no... NO!"
Young Celestia screamed that last no so loud that she swiveled her head, causing the sun to suddenly move right into Tuerto's gaze. Tuerto was caught unprepared as his eyes widened, one of them felt like it was boiling.
"My eyes; my eyes," Tuerto screamed, causing him to look up and shoot both eye beams into the sky.
Applejack I gasped as she suddenly noticed an opportunity. Applejack I then ran up to Tuerto, and using her back legs, kicked him in the face as Tuerto had his eye poked on a sharp branch on a nearby tree. Tuerto screamed in pain as he tried to pull the branch out... which he did successfully... but the same couldn't be said for that right eye. When he pulled the branch out, thanks to the blazing heat of the sun, it boiled the right eye on Tuerto that it loosened up, and the branch only helped dig the eye out as it came right out of Tuerto's socket.
Tuerto then screamed so hard as he clutched to where his right eye once was. Young Celestia saw what had happened and decided to take advantage as she focused on opening some kind of portal. Tuerto walked backwards... as he then tripped and fell right into the portal, and as Celestia quickly closed it up, the last thing he could hear... were the screams of Tuerto.
"Oh my God..." Heather, watching the flashback, said as she held her mouth, as if ready to throw up.
"Now I can see why this book would never get published..." Katie yelped.
"This is... violent." Sierra yelped.
"Megan, Megan?" Young Luna asked as she ran right over to Megan. Megan was still breathing hard from being beat up. Megan opened one eye.
"Where's Tuerto?" Megan asked.
"Gone... sent away... Celestia and Applejack saved your lives..." Luna said as Celestia and Applejack came over.
"Yep! Celestia here somehow summoned the sun to burn up one of Tuerto's eyes and I kicked him to a branch to poke his eye out!" Applejack smiled. "Celestia then summoned a portal and Tuerto fell in it! He's gone!
Spykoran, dazed from being kicked the balls, got up as he noticed the eye. "What the heck is this?"
"Tuerto's right eye, the one that injured humans beyond help," Celestia said.
"Wow..." Spykoran said in surprise. "We better keep this around for analyzation... I can't believe we won..."
"...For now." Celestia sighed. "Megan's cutie mark wasn't three green rings... and I don't know WHEN Uncle Tuerto will come back..."
"Come on, Megan." Applejack said as she got Megan up on her back. "You're too injured to walk. We better go find your family."
Megan gasped in short breaths as she said, "That would be great..."
"Well, I think that's enough from me..." Present Celestia said as she closed the portal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present Time, the Total Drama gang, the Mane Six, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, Nyx, Phobos, Ben and Chase just stared in horror as they turned to Celestia. Then, they all began at the same time, only hearing things like 'What did I just see?', 'Oh my Celestia, this is awful', 'I'm crazy, but not THAT crazy!', and other things.
Celestia then held up her hoof. "Please, please... I assure you, there are plenty more things to talk about... I'll explain more..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the portal, Chris McClean had walked back in, seemingly lost. Chris sighed as he just decided to walk around the Castle Canterlot. Was what he was doing right? He had never once thought of this question before, he always did it out of sick fun, but now with a mass murderer on the loose... he wasn't too sure anymore...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...And that's the gist of it." Celestia sighed. "After I made the wish to make everybody forget the memory of Tuerto, except for me, I was in charge of the eye, and I was stuck with the nightmares for a long while."
"But whenever somebody got a hold of the eye, as I remembered... well..." Luna paused.
Noah raised an eyebrow as he asked...
(Back to the tune of 'The Backson Song' from 'Winnie the Pooh')
(Noah)
Princesses, what did that eye really do?
Everyone, in curiosity, then asked,
(Everyone)
Yeah, tell us, what did that eye do?
Celestia paused.
(Celestia)
Hmmm, what can that eye do?
I'm thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking,
And now I will tell you!
Discord then drew what he imagined that eye can do as Celestia sang.
The eye will give you voices that won’t get out of your head!
(Everyone)
Tuerto; Tuerto; we don’t like Tuerto!
(Celestia)
The voices will command you to send people to their deathbed!
(Everyone)
Tuerto; Tuerto; we’re afraid of Tuerto!
(Celestia)
The eye will make you mean and very bad,
The eye’ll possess you to be very mad!
(Everyone)
Tuerto’s eye’ll possess us to be very mad!
(Pause the song)
"Anyway; that eye, whenever an adult pony held it, caused the pony to go crazy." Celestia said. "Applejack volunteered to go on a mission to hide that eye far away..."
"Wait, Applejack I?" Applejack asked in shock.
Celestia nodded. "Yes, Applejack I, though she had lost her memory along with everybody elses' about the eye and its' true purpose, she volunteered to go on a long journey to hide the eye."
"’Dat explains her disappearance!" Applejack smiled.
"Indeed." Celestia nodded. "She was gone for what seemed like years... it wasn't until she finally came back... and before she could say anything... well... she died."
"Oh my gosh..." Rarity gasped.
"In her will, she left me the diary in which she wrote about her journey!" Celestia said, showing her the diary. "I thought it would reveal the location of the eye, but nothing made sense! All it was was just boring monologues, nothing about the eye after the first page."
"Can I see it?" Noah asked in curiosity.
"I suppose it couldn't hurt..." Celestia sighed as Noah looked at the book and read it.
Noah then noticed something odd about the shapes, and noticed something on the top page... what looked like...
Noah then dug in his pockets as he pulled out the triangle with three glass projectiles as he put it on the page. Celestia and everyone just looked in confusion as he examined the book and used the triangle to move it around.
"Where did you get that?" Celestia asked in curiosity.
"It was buried in the middle of three trees that were pinpointed like a triangle!" Noah said. "I looked at the top of the page and thought of that right away."
"Wait... you figured out the clue to the eye?" Celestia said. "Th-this is amazing!"
(Back, once again, to 'The Backson Song' from 'Winnie the Pooh')
(Celestia)
Tell me more about what you found in that book!
(Luna)
Yes, more about what you found in that book!
(Noah)
More about what I found in that book?
Why don't you all come take a look?
Everyone gathered around as Noah started to do some notes and underline VERY important parts.
(Heather)
Your beginning place is right at the triangle tree!
(Celestia)
You really want to make a bet?
(Gwen)
The path then splits into two paths
(Discord)
After this, I need some baths!
(Eva)
One path is the easy path, the light side!
(Brick)
The other is hard and not to be taken in stride!
(Sierra)
It's a tough walk,
(Sadie)
A very long journey!
(Cody)
Individually, both paths'll take weeks of three!
(Trent)
This is really, just amazing!
(Leshawna)
We're just so glad we can sing!
(Sam)
A gamer's game come true!
(Pinkie, Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Nyx, Izzy, Lindsay, Katie)
This journey sounds cool!
(Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Ben, Chase, Scott, Ezekiel, B)
Is it too late?
(Applejack, Fluttershy, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Spike, Phobos)
Not on a plate!
(Dawn)
Another journey awaits
(Bridgette)
But so's our fate!
(Harold)
What about Tuerto?
(Discord)
He's rotten to the core!
(Noah)
And I think we all are doomed!
(Everyone)
Tuerto, Tuerto, Tuerto, Tuerto,
Oh no!!!
Everyone was basically screaming as everyone was nervous. Most of them were excited for a new adventure, BUT... they were scared at the same time that maybe Tuerto had already found the eye...
Until Heather frowned, "If he had found the eye, don't you think he'd come here and destroy everyone by now?"
Everyone looked towards Heather in confusion.
(Heather)
I know exactly what to do,
We’ll find that eye before we’re all glue,
(Gwen and Leshawna)
Like a treasure hunt, an adventure!
(Heather)
Yes, in the Everfree Forest we’ll endure!
Then we find a real giant hammer,
And crush the eye like a gamer,
We will end the reign of the one-eyed horse,
(Celestia)
And the horrible nightmares will end, of course!
(Pause the song)
"It's settled! Thank you, Noah! Both of our worlds may still be saved yet!" Celestia smiled as the track of 'Homeward Bound-The Incredible Journey-The Journey Begins' started playing.
Noah smiled. "Hey, it's what I do!"
Katie giggled as she hugged Noah.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Katie: (smiles) As usual, my Noah Boa keeps things on track!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Celestia then turned. "Looks like our game may still be on yet! Very well, Twilight, you and your friends are to be assigned to find the eye and bring it back here!"
"Wait!" Heather called as the Total Drama gang and the others looked at her. "What if they run into Tuerto? We saw what happened in that flashback, we saw what we can do. If Twilight or any of her friends get hurt... or dead, it'll be a big burden on our shoulders!"
Everyone nodded.
"I know it's a little risky, but..." Celestia started.
"We also saw what Tuerto can do to humans turned ponies!" Heather smiled.
Gwen paused. "Hey, she's right! Both eyes individually didn't affect Megan at all!"
"If you can turn TEN of us back into ponies, we can find that eye and bring it here!" Eva smirked. "We'll find the eye and deliver it to you!"
"I don't know, you're still bound to the game, remember?" Discord frowned as he held up a list of names that were crossed out... that is, that of the Total Drama contestants... and the crossed out names were of those who were eliminated so far.
"I don't care about the game..." somebody said as the person walked out. "I quit the game to search for the eye!"
Everybody stood in shock as Gwen looked at Heather, the one who had stepped up, came over. "What?"
"What'd she say?" Lindsay said in shock as everyone watched Heather march up to Discord, as Discord said in shock.
"Are you sure? If you are, I'm crossing your name out and you're no longer able to compete..." Discord said.
"I'm sure. I'm going to find that eye and do it before Tuerto does!" Heather frowned. "I've been on a few adventures in my lifetime, but nothing compared to this!"
"No... way..." Sierra said in shock.
"Very well..." Discord said as he crossed Heather's name off the list.
Everyone looked shocked. Heather was actually willing to quit her game just so she can save the world... everyone looked at each other... should most of them stay in the game, or follow the lead of Heather's?
"Who else will volunteer to quit the game to find the eye?" Luna asked.
Gwen paused then frowned as she spoke, "I'm out. I vowed to never played this game again in the last season...and although a certain host tricked me into it, I'm sticking to it."
"Well, if she's going, then I will, too." Leshawna said sternly, crossing her arms. "Ain't gonna let my girls find that eye with a maniac out there alone."
"If Gwen's going, then so will I." Trent said with a nod.
"And I will go, too, for the sake of Equestria." Cody said with a determined look on his face.
"Thanks, guys." Gwen said to the two, touched that they're going to be there for her.
----------------
Gwen: No take backs, no coming backs. I mean it this time.
------------------
Leshawna: Yeah, this girl is going to give some dumb pony the mature 'tude!
------------------
Trent: I wasn't around to stick up for Gwen after my elimination. I wish to make up for it.
------------------
Cody: Now in case anyone's wondering, I'm doing this as a friend for Gwen. Sierra and I altogether now.
--------------
"Okay, four down. Who's next?" Discord asked curiously.
"Sir," Brick exclaimed as he saluted. "Volunteer to go on mission to locate the dangerous eye!"
"Permission granted, soldier." Discord said, giving a salute. "At ease."
Eva pauses then grunts, "Fine. I'm going. Hey, I made it this far, may as well do something useful than completing in dumb games again."
-------------------------
Brick: The recruits need all the help that they can. The game can go on without me much longer.
-----------------
Eva: Hell, I can do anything to give that villain a crack! (cracking her knuckles)
--------------------
"...I'd like to volunteer myself for the eye quest." Sadie spoke out. Everyone, still remaining and out, gasped. Katie's friend is eventually going on the quest...without Katie?
"Sadie... " Katie said as she started to get up, "I'd also li-"
Sadie sat Katie down as she insisted, "No, Katie, you need to stay here, and play this game."
"But-" Katie started, but her BFF cut her off.
Sadie hugged Katie as she insisted, "Katie, you're my Best Female Friend For Life, and a very helpful teammate. But... there are times when one person has to do something to save our world... and a friend that stays behind to help carry that legacy. Katie, you're my best friend... and I'd like you to stay here... and play this game..." The fat girl put her hand on Katie's heart, "...for the both of us. I'll still be with you in spirit; as you'll be with me in spirit when I help find the eye."
Katie paused then smiled, "You got it, Sadie!"
Sadie hugged Katie as she said, "Thank you, Katie."
"A very noble thing to do, Sadie," Celestia said with a smile.
“Then I will go too.” Sam said with a nod as he stood up, going over to the ones quitting the game. “Dakota would want me to fight this quest as her brave knight. What’s the point in being one if I can’t defend others?”
“That’s very noble of you, Sam.” Fluttershy said to Sam, impressed with his dedication to Dakota and others.
Discord looked towards the nine out players. He spoke, "Okay, nine volunteers to opt out of the game and search for the eye... " The spirit pause as he looks over, "Anybody else?"
The remaining eleven, Katie, Bridgette, Noah, Izzy, Scott, Ezekiel, Lindsay, B, Dawn, Sierra and Harold paused... Scott gave an evil smirk as Discord paused. The evil boy got an idea to even the numbers for him.
Discord nodded as he spoke, "Very well. Nine people, with ele-"
Scott then kicked a bag nearby as a slight gobble-gobble was heard. Sierra froze when she turned to see a turkey pop out of the bag. No, it can't be!
Sierra screamed, "BIRDZILLA RETURNS!" The girl turned around to Discord frantically, "Wait up, wait up, I quit and volunteer myself to search for the eye!" The girl grabbed the list and pen from Discord as she fearfully searched for her name. "Oh, don't let him eat me, don't let him eat me!"
The turkey then started running as Sierra found her own name and crossed it off quickly as she threw it over to Discord as she ran over to join the others. Everyone glared at Scott.
Scott chuckled, "Couldn't resist." Typical that the creep would find a way to win in his favore, plus it allows him to get rid of another member of the Total Drama Girl alliance.
Fluttershy took the turkey to save both from any further trouble. She petted the little guy, saying calmly, "There you go. You all right, little guy?"
Cody, calming Sierra down, said, "Sorry you had to go out like that."
Sierra smiled a little as she admitted, "To be fair, I was actually considering it anyway. Besides, you need all the protection you can get."
"Well, go ahead, Sierra, we will be all right." Bridgette chuckled, giving a glare at Scott. "Some of us had to stay and keep an eye on a certain rat!"
"Flattery will get you nowhere, Surfer Babe." Scott commented with an evil smirk.
---------------
Ezekiel: I would go, too, but I made it this far, eh. No need for me to ruin a good thing!
----------------
Scott: (smirks) with those of those two losers gone, it's now down to five! (Pauses, then looks worried) Of course, with my statue now gone, I got to be extra careful to avoid being kicked out.
-----------------------
Dawn: I sense lot of worries in the room. 10 of us are leaving to go on a mission; the rest is staying in a game. Both are dangerous.
--------------------------
"Okay, 10 are out, 10 are still in." Celestia said with a nod as she turns to the players. "Bridgette, Katie, Noah, Izzy, Scott, Ezekiel, Harold, Dawn, B and Lindsay, you're still in the game."
Lindsay says happily, "Wow! I didn't even make an acceptation speech or something!"
"Trust us, you don't need it." Noah remarks to Lindsay with a shrug.
"And the rest of you? The quest awaits, your game ends here." Luna said to the players who quit the game, changing them back into ponies. "We wish thou luck."
Chef Hatchet came in, frowning as he asks, "Where's Chris? Is he still in this funk? Damn. Didn't think he would be this depressed. The only times he did is when something of his gets blown."
"Twilight; Until Chris gets back or until this is over, I want you, Ben and your friends to take over the co-hosting duties."
"Oh cool!" Spike exclaims with a smile. The Mane Six's group got to admit: doing co-hosting duties on a complicated show like this is...well...COMPLICATED! But they can do it, right?
Twilight nods as she turns to the camera. "Well, it seems we now know everything, the game still goes on, but this journey is about to begin!"
"Will our volunteers ever succeed in finding the eye?" Pinkie giggled.
"What new challenges await the people in-game and out-of-game?" Rainbow Dash smiled.
"And will poor Chris McClean ever snap out of his funk?" Rarity asked.
"Find out next time on..." Celestia started as the camera pans away to outside the castle. "Total... Drama... EQUESTRIA! Now if you'll excuse us, I believe our ten volunteers will have to attend am Aftermath Show in the Equestria Girls world before their adventure begins! I'm going to be playing them off! Hit the music!"
The camera then panned back to a close-up of Celestia's face as they started to sing again.
(For the final time, to the tune of 'The Backson Song' from 'Winnie the Pooh')
(Celestia)
Tuerto!
Gwen, Trent, Leshawna, Cody, Sierra, Sam, Brick, Eva and Sadie smiled in excitement.
(Everyone)
Tuerto!
Celestia then gave Heather a big smile as she got close to her face, Heather excited for this adventure.
(Celestia)
Tuerto!
Gwen, Trent, Leshawna, Cody, Sierra, Brick, Eva, Sam and Sadie hugged all their friends to say good-bye as they were ready to leave for the portal.
(Everyone)
Tuerto!
Celestia smiled as she opened up the Suck-O-Gone, which lead to the Equestria Girls world,
(Celestia)
Thank you, volunteers, search by sea or land!
The ten quitters/volunteers nodded as they started to march towards the Suck-O-Gone, ready to make their announcement to the Equestria Girls and Aftermath Show world!
(Heather, Gwen, Trent, Leshawna, Brick, Eva, Sam, Sadie and Sierra)
Tuerto; Tuerto; we’re going to kill Tuerto!
(Celestia)
We’ll save both of our worlds, by following Heather’s plan!
(Heather, Gwen, Trent, Leshawna, Brick, Eva, Sam, Sadie and Sierra)
Tuerto; Tuerto! We’ll save everyone’s lives!
The remaining ten, Bridgette, Katie, Noah, Izzy, Scott, Ezekiel, Lindsay, B, Dawn and Harold smiled as they watched the ten volunteers go off in confidence.
We must be brave and have no fear;
(Celestia)
So to the death, we’ll persevere!
(Heather, Gwen, Trent, Leshawna, Brick, Eva, Sam, Sadie and Sierra)
We must find the eye with all of our training;
And we’ll find the Chosen One; and be family!
Lindsay paused as she saw the now eliminated players going straight into the portal, "Family?"
Family!
"Almost rhymes with 'Blaineley'." Lindsay paused.
Family!
"Oh well." Lindsay shrugged. "Good luck everyone!"
The screen then faded to black as the episode then ended.

We fade in to Shadow Dragon, in a hidden place, talking to the Three Lords of Equestria, AKA the Superior, Dark Curse and Grimmore via portals. Tech is watching from nearby with the Dark Mystic Ponies soldiers.
"Soooo....these new ponies are really humans in disguise." The Superior said thoughtfully making Shadow Dragon nod.
"Correct and they're looking for an eye of the princesses' Uncle Tuerto who is causing trouble as we speak." Shadow Dragon said with a nod once more. "What are your plans involving this?"
"We shall find Tuerto...and team up with him." Dark Curse said darkly while smiling wickedly. "A pony with a power like that will be good for our cause."
"You do realize that he hasn't been making friends with ponies lately."
"Only those who disagree with his view on humans...but we hate humans as well so working with him will be...an exploding sight!" Grimmore explains, laughing wickedly.
The Three Lords laughs as the Shadow Dragon stares on while Tech watches. Looks like the game just got a new turn.

We then see clips of the next episode.
The announcer then spoke, "The Aftermath Show is back with some new clips, new surprises and..."
We see Alejandro in a cage, frowning, "Can I come out now?"
Some of the others in the group snap, "NO!"
"Things are really heating up!"
"We can't stay long. We got to save Equestria from the princesses' insane adopted uncle!" Gwen exclaims, making almost everyone gasps in shock.
"And a long time secret is exposed."
"We got clips of Chris McClean in a huge funk." Vinyl said to the camera.
"Let's see what goes down on the next 'Total Drama Equestria Aftermath'. It's coming soon so don't miss it!"
