The Odd-esey

'''The teams go on a quest where one contestant begins to fall for another, much to the displeasure of a teammate. Later, two best friends have a giant fall-out, and one contestant loses the challenge for their team. That contestant is later sent home after kissing their only friend. '''

Plot
It was early in the morning.

The Knights were enjoying their morning cuisine.

"This egg is delish!" Brooke cooed.

"... It's just egg." Gil said, confused.

"But it's good egg- Ryan! Use a coaster for goodness sake!" Brooke cried, "Where you raised in a barn?!"

Ryan rolled his eyes.

Holly walked in and cleared her throat, "Hey guys!"

"Hey!" Lorelei said, waving, "I save you a seat BFF!"

"Thanks!" Holly cooed, "But I'll just sit here."

Holly took a seat next to Ryan.

"You don't mind, right?" Holly asked.

"Not at all." Ryan said, shrugging.

"Great!" Holly said. "I was going to hang out in the garden! You wanna come?"

"I would love to." Gil said, winking.

"I wasn't talking to you, ding-a-ling." Holly spat.

"But your eyes were." Gil said, biting his lip.

Brooke, Deb, and Lorelei squealed.

Augustus scoffed.

Deb Confessional: I may not know a lot about what girls like- But I do know that Gil is the hunkiest hunk that ever hunked ever!

'''Holly Confessional: Why are all the girls on my team falling for that guy? I mean of course their hormones are going to attract to the organisms they believe are visually stimulating, and it also doesn't help that during the pubescent stage the hormones are acting at double their- What was I saying? Oh! Why do they all obsess over him?'''

'''Gil Confessional: This isn't working. I'm going to have to work double time to get that girl to pay attention to me. This won't be easy- But Gil DeLitz never gives up. *smirks*'''

"So?" Holly asked.

"Sure?" Ryan asked.

"Yay!" Holly clapped.

"You are all simpletons." Augustus said, getting up, "I am done."

"Wait, Auggie! I'll come wi- Lorelei! That dress is way to short! Change!" Brooke cried.

"Do not follow me." Augustus growled, walking off.

'''Augustus Confessional: Brooke is annoying all of us very fast. I do not need to be her enemy; she is worst enemy of herself.'''

The Knights were spending in the dungeon once again.

"We have got to win the next challenge! I am not going to stay in this crappy dungeon another week! Seriously! It blows!" David shouted.

"It could be worse." Sapphire said.

"And how's that?" David asked.

"Well. For starters, Janice could still be on our team." Sapphire said.

"Or Damion." Jerome said.

"They were going to end up destroying themselves if they were to stay any longer. The universe believed that they overstayed their welcome." Anza said, simply.

"H-how do you know that?" Finnegan asked.

"My shakras are extremely aligned." Anza explained, simply.

"Oh." Finnegan said, "I'm just glad t-that you're all s-still here. You are the c-closest things I've had to friends an-and-" Finnegan began, getting teary-eyed, "Excuse me-"

He got up and ran off, his face in his hands.

"I feel so bad for him." Kathleen whispered.

"Yeah. He really is a good guy." Sapphire sighed.

Just outside, Finnegan was smirking devilishly.

'''Finnegan Confessional: These losers are just too gullible! I have them eating out of the palm of my hands! I love this show!'''

"Kathleen- go get my breakfast." David said.

"Huh?" Kathleen asked.

"Now?!" David shouted.

"Sorry!" Kathleen cried, running for the door.

Finnegan panicked and scurried up the stairs and up the grand staircase.

Kathleen exited the dungeon and ran up the stairs and in the other direction.

Finnegan ran up the stairs and ran into Lorelei.

"Oof!" Lorelei cried, falling to the floor, "What where you're going, why don't you?!"

"Sorry!" Finnegan cried, "I-I guess I just didn't see where I-I was g-going. I wouldn't have done anything of the s-sort otherwise."

Lorelei gasped.

"What?" Finnegan asked.

"Nothing! Apology accepted. Bye!" Lorelei cried, running down the stairs.

'''Lorelei Confessional: Finnegan is really familiar... I know I've seen him somewhere before, but I just don't know where...'''

'''"Contestants! Please meet me in the backyard in five!" Chris announced.'''

"Hey there, guys!" Chris announced.

"Cut the small talk- Challenge. Now." David said, "The sooner we're done here, the quicker I can enjoy the castle."

"Who said your team will win?" Augustus asked.

"I did." David said.

"Alright! Shut up!" Chris said.

Augustus and David stopped bickered.

"The basis of today's challenge goes back to Ancient Greece! This challenge is based off of The Odyssey!" Chris announced.

"Oh yay! I love The Odyssey!" Holly clapped.

Her team stared at her.

"I mean... Odyssey Hair Care. Duh." Holly said, twirling a strand of hair around her finger.

Her team eased up.

"So here's the jist. You will be presented with three challenges that you have to overcome. Each challenge is from the epic tale. Your first challenge, survive a dangerous encounter with the deadly monsters, Scylla and Charybdis! In the story, Odysseus and his crew of loyal followers had to sail between the two monsters. Charybdis was a whirpool and Scylla was a shallow cave in a nearby mountain. Your goal is to avoid both of those dangers in our giant simulator. Each team will go in by themselves and have to swim to their boat in rough, stormy waters. If your team still has all of it's members, you gain an advantage in part two! If you lose any members, those members are forbidden to help you during the rest of the challenge!" Chris explained, "Knights! You're up!"

In front of them was a giant see-through dome.

Inside was a boat in rough water and a cliff.

"How do we get in?" Brooke asked.

"That hatch right there, just above water level!" Chris said.

Chef pushed a button, and suddenly the water began to churn, getting rougher.

"Oh great." Ryan sighed.

Thirty minutes later, all seven members of The Noble Knights were on the ship's deck.

"It's s-so cold..." Deb shivered.

"Why is the sky so gray?" Gil asked, "It was sunny outside this dome..."

"Simulator." Holly said, shivering, "Means simulator."

Gil smirked.

Holly scoffed.

"How do we get this thing to move?" Lorelei asked, "Ugh! Where's the steering wheel thingy?"

"There is no steering wheel thing." Augustus said, "We must row."

Augustus pointed at the benches and the oars.

"This is like a trust exercise!" Brooke clapped, "Yay!"

"I don't see how, but whatever." Ryan said, sitting down on a bench.

The others quickly sat down.

"Row!" Augustus commanded.

They did just that.

The Titans were barreling towards the whirlpool and the cliff.

"Agh! This rain is getting in my eyes!" David cried.

"I feel malignant energy!" Anza cried.

"Shut up!" David cried.

"Found it.." Anza stated.

"What is that thing?" Kathleen asked, pointing at the whirlpool.

"It's a whirlpool." Jerome said.

"No, inside! It looks like it has spikes or something inside of it..." Kathleen said in a barely audible voice.

"It looks l-like..." Finnegan began.

"-Teeth." Sapphire said.

"And in the shallow cave- T-those look l-like teeth too!" Finnegan said.

"How are we supposed to make it through that small path of rough water between two dangerous sets of teeth?" Jerome asked.

"I know you'll come up with something. I believe in you." Sapphire smiled.

Jerome let out a nervous laugh, "Okay!"

Jerome Confessional: Yes!

'''David Confessional: I can see what she's doing! She's using Jerome to her advantage! Ugh! I need someone to manipulate and do anything I want!'''

The water became extremely rough, causing the boat to rock from side to side.

"Agh! I'm gonna hurl!" David cried.

He stood up and ran to the side of the boat to throw up.

At that exact moment, the boat hit a rough patch and David was sent into the water.

"David!" Sapphire cried.

"What's the big deal?" Jerome asked, still clouded by his crush on Sapphire.

"If we don't have all of our players by the end of this challenge, we don't get an advantage!" Sapphire cried.

Sapphire got up and ran to the edge of the ship.

A sharp just of wind came out of nowhere, knocking Sapphire off her feet and into the water.

"Oh no!" Anza cried.

"What are we going to do?! We've already lost Holly, Gil, and Augustus!" Lorelei cried.

"We're already past the whirpool and the cliff. All we have to do is make it to the other side." Ryan assured, "It shouldn't be that hard."

"My poor babies!" Brooke cried.

"You know they aren't your children, right...?" Deb asked.

Brooke shifted her eyes from left to right.

"We have to row double to reach the end at the speed we used to have." Ryan explained.

"This is way too much work!" Lorelei cried.

"Just keep it up- We'll get there." Ryan encouraged.

'''Lorelei Confessional: OMG! This is like the first time Ryan has ever talked to me- and it was something nice! Yay-sies!'''

"Alright! Let's do this, guys-" Lorelei said.

She turned around to only see Deb and Brooke.

"We are so screwed." Lorelei sighed.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Deb asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, you aren't really the best at physical compe- physical anything, really." Lorelei said, shrugging.

"Excuse you." Deb said, sneering.

"What?" Lorelei asked, "What did I say?"

Deb growled, "Well, you aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer- you know that Yay-sies isn't a real word, right?"

"Rude, much?" Lorelei asked.

"You can drop the whole annoying valley girl, self-entitled act. It's getting kind of annoying. Like your voice in general." Deb sneered.

"Why can't we all just sit down and-" Brooke began.

"Stay out of this!" Lorelei and Deb shouted.

"How could you, like, do this to me? I became you're friend even though you were really ugly and kind of annoying! I did that for you!" Lorelei shouted.

"Well, I didn't need you to!" Deb spat, "I was perfectly content on-"

"Guys?" Ryan asked.

"What?" Lorelei and Deb asked.

"We're already on the edge of the simulator." Chris explained.

"Oh." Lorelei said, flipping one of her braids back, "Well, whatever."

The four members of the team crawled out.

Deb and Lorelei were glaring at each other.

Deb Confessional: I can't believe I was friends with her-

'''Lorelei Confessional: She's just like everyone else! Ugh!-'''

Deb Confessional: First chance I get, she's gone!

Lorelei Confessional: First chance I get, she's gone!

Ryan exited after them.

Brooke followed.

"The Knights lost three members! The Titans only lost two. It's clear that The Tremendous Titans win the advantage!" Chris announced.

"What's the advantage?" Anza asked.

"Having more people." Chris said, simply.

Jerome raised an eyebrow.

"The more people you have, the more you have a chance at destroying the evil giant that's keeping your prisoner in his cave!" Chris announced.

"But there i-isn't an evil giant keeping us prisoner in h-his cave..." Finnegan said.

"There is now!" Chris said, pointing at the horizon.

A giant cyclops, looming over the contestants, looked down at them before grabbing both teams.

"Agh! Let go!" Brooke cried, "This is not very nice, you know if you would just let us go, I can find you a nice coloring boo-"

"Shut up!" Deb, Lorelei, and Ryan shouted.

"Stop copying me!" Deb and Lorelei snapped at each other, almost instantly.

"Whichever team works together to escape the Cyclops' cave and makes it out first wins this part of the challenge! Good luck!" Chris shouted, waving.

'''Kathleen Confessional: I really hate him. So much.'''

The contestants were shoved into a cave, where a replica of the animatronic giant was propped against the cave's wall.

The entrance was sealed.

It was completely dark.

"Who are we supposed to find anything in here?" Deb asked, outraged.

The cave shook.

"Who's there?" The Cyclops asked.

His one eye opened, revealing a power florescent light.

The contestants froze.

"Does that answer your question?" Lorelei silently snapped at Deb.

Deb rolled her eyes.

The cyclops closed his eye again and all went dark.

"How are we supposed to find things if the light comes from his eye? We don't want to wake him up or else he's notice us." Jerome told his team.

"I have an idea." Kathleen whispered.

"Huh?" Anza asked.

"I have an idea.." Kathleen whispered.

"What?" Jerome asked.

"I have an idea!" Kathleen shouted.

The cyclops opened it's eye.

Across the cave, Ryan was looking for something to use.

In the corner was a giant eye.

Across from them, a heard of sheep.

"I have an idea." Ryan said.

At that point, the cyclops closed it's eye.

"What is it?" Brooke asked.

"I say we use that giant eye and-" Ryan began.

"And pretend to be a cyclops from outside! A girl cyclops!" Lorelei cheered.

"Yes!" Ryan agreed.

Deb scoffed.

"What?" Ryan asked.

"That's stupid- what would we even use the eye for if the voice is outside?" Deb asked.

"Well..." Lorelei began.

"Shut up." Deb said, "Why don't we just go deep into the cave and come out the other side?" Deb asked.

"Because-" Ryan began.

"Girls, if you don't stop fighting I'm going to have to put you all on time out!" Brooke threatened.

"Ohmygod, shut up!" Lorelei shouted.

"Seriously!" Deb snapped.

"Nice going." Ryan whispered, face-palming.

"What?" Deb asked.

"You woke up the-" Ryan began.

"Who's there?!" The cyclops asked.

Just at that moment, Anza, Finnegan, Kathleen, and Jerome stabbed a giant stick into the cyclops' eye.

"Agh!" It shouted.

The light went out.

"Go, go, go!" Anza shouted as she jumped off of him.

"Race for the secret exit!" Jerome shouted.

They all hid behind a rock.

"How did they find out?!" The cyclops asked, racing for a panel in the cave wall.

He pushed it open.

"Wait, how did they know-" Brooke began.

"Who cares?" Ryan asked, "We just found our ticket out of here."

The Knights raced for the secret panel.

The Titans were only feet behind them.

The giant reached down and picked up Deb.

"Agh!" Deb cried.

Lorelei laughed.

The giant grabbed her, too.

"Aw man." Lorelei sighed.

This time, Deb laughed.

Ryan and Brooke slipped between his legs and dove through the panel, making it outside.

The Knights followed.

"We won!" Brooke cheered.

"No you didn't!" Chris laughed.

"Huh?" Ryan asked, "But we were the first team out."

"But you didn't work together! You and Teenage Mom here sat back as those two fought with each other! The other team actually came up with a plan!" Chris explained, "How did you guys know there was a secret exit anyway?"

"There had to have been, i-in case of e-emergencies." Finnegan explained, rubbing his arm.

"We decided to blind the giant and trick him into thinking we knew where the secret exit was, so he would lead us right to it." Jerome stated.

"Smart!" Chris laughed, "You guys are kicking butt today! Next challenge!"

Ryan and Brooke sighed.

"This is the final challenge! Your captured teammates have been turned into wild animals! You must go on a hunt for the magical plant Moly! You must then bring it back to the Colosseum! The first team back wins!" Chris announced.

"How are we going to find the plant?" Ryan asked.

"We don't even know what they look like." Kathleen whispered.

"Chef is giving you guys a picture of the plant. As for the location. Let's just say it's been formerly off-limits." Chris smirked.

Ryan and Kathleen got a light bulb.

"Go!" Chris announced.

"Follow me!" Ryan and Kathleen said unanimously.

They ran into the castle, with their teams following them.

"Where are we going?" Brooke asked.

"The third floor." Ryan said.

"But- the third floor isn't unlocked!" Brooke cried.

"It wasn't unlocked." Ryan explained.

"We're going to lose if we do this!" Brooke cried.

"No we won't!" Ryan assured.

"Ryan, stop!" Brooke commanded, stopping in his tracks.

Ryan stopped too.

"Huh?" Ryan asked.

"You are going to lead this team into failure if we go somewhere that's locked!" Brooke cried.

"What are you even talking about you crazy-" Ryan began.

"No back-talk!" Brooke commanded, "Now you are going to explore the second floor or you are going to time out!"

"You aren't my mom. Stop talking to me like I'm a little-" Ryan stated.

Brooke grabbed Ryan by the ear and in a swift movement, threw him into a nearby closet.

She propped a chair under the door knob.

"Let me out!" Ryan called,

"No!" Brooke called.

She ran to explore nearby couches.

During that time, The Titans ran passed her to the third floor staircase.

"It's unlocked! You were-" Anza began.

Finnegan slapped a hand to her mouth.

"Shh! W-we don't want t-them to know where to look!" Finnegan shouted.

'''Finnegan Confessional: Everyone on my team is great- Not. One is really annoying, one is really desperate, one is also really desperate, one is a total slu- *static*- the only one that has to leave like, now, is Anza. She's totally smart and totally in tune to whatever it is that allows her to see the truth about people. She can totally ruin my game!'''

"Finnegan's right." Jerome said, "Come on."

The four of them crept up the stairs.

They entered a grand parlor, with a hall that lead to several rooms.

"Hurry, find some kind of vase or something." Jerome instructed.

The four of them separated.

Anza was looking around a giant suit of armor.

She found a giant vase filled with many flowers and began to look around.

She heard a creak behind her.

Anza snapped around and then shivered, causing her shawl to fall to the floor.

The suit of armor was gone.

Anza stood up and turned around.

She walked into the hall, seeing Kathleen nearby.

She turned around and jogged over to her shawl, picking it up.

Anza got up and turned around, seeing the knight there.

She screamed.

Kathleen ran into the parlor and gasped.

Anza's shawl was on the floor.

Finnegan and Jerome ran in.

"What? What is it?" Jerome asked.

"She's gone..." Kathleen whispered.

"We gotta go- Find that flower!" Jerome commanded.

"Okay." Kathleen whispered, running to find the herb.

Finnegan also ran off.

Jerome ran off as well.

"How many vases are there?" Finnegan growled, "Ugh!"

"Finnegan?" Kathleen asked.

"Huh?" Finnegan asked, turning around.

"Have you found the flower?" Kathleen whispered.

"Not ye-" Finnegan began.

"I found it!" Jerome shouted.

Kathleen and Finnegan ran into the hall and saw Jerome with the plant in his hand.

"Yes!" The two cheered.

"Now let's go-" Jerome began.

"Jerome! W-watch out!" Finnegan called pointing.

Jerome turned around, to see the suit of armor swing it's axe.

Jerome ducked as fast as he could.

"Take the plan! I'll distract it!" Jerome called, throwing the herb to Kathleen.

Kathleen barely caught it.

Jerome tackled the suit of armor to the ground.

Kathleen and Finnegan jumped over the suit of armor and down the stairs.

"Go, go, g-go!" Finnegan shouted.

Brooke turned around and gasped.

The flower was in Kathleen's hand.

They raced down the stairs to the first floor and raced into the backyard.

They entered the Colosseum.

"And The Titans win for the first time in two weeks!" Chris laughed.

The captured Titans cheered.

"Knights! I'll see you at elimination!" Chris announced.

The Knights sighed.

That night all the members of The Noble Knights had their copies of The Odyssey.

All except for Brooke, Deb, and Lorelei.

"You three girls are at the bottom." Chris said, "Deb and Lorelei, you two fought with each other and cost your team the second part of the challenge. Brooke, you lost the third part of the challenge, the part that really mattered."

Brooke looked nervous.

Deb and Lorelei were glaring at each other.

"Aw, how I love it when a friendship turns to shambles!" Chris laughed. "Lorelei! You are safe!"

Lorelei grabbed her copy and blew a raspberry at Deb.

Deb rolled her eyes.

Brooke and Deb exchanged glances.

'''Brooke Confessional: Oh, I hope that I stay! Please let me stay!'''

'''Deb Confessional: I know I should be at the bottom, but I shouldn't go home! Brooke is extremely annoying! Don't vote for me, vote for her!'''

"And the final copy goes to..." Chris began.

Deb gulped.

Brooke's hands were extremely sweaty.

"Deb." Chris said.

Deb breathed a sigh of relief and raced to grab her copy.

Brooke hung her head.

"Bye Bye, Brooke!" Chris said.

Brooke began to walk away before racing towards Augustus and kissing him right on the lips.

Augustus eyes bulged.

Brooke pulled away and ran off towards the Carriage of Losers.

Augustus' eyes were wide and his mouth was wide open.

Holly, Gil, and Ryan exchanged glances before giggling and laughing at Augustus.

Lorelei covered her mouth, trying her hardest not to laugh.

Augustus blushed a bit.

"Vat?" Augustus asked "Kak zhe ona-Pochemu? Ona dazhe ne znayu! Agh! Ona mozhet ne tol'ko-Ona budet proklinat' tot den', kogda ona ... No ona ne plokho tseluyetsya.."

"Wow... Did not expect that." Chris said, "You're all safe. For now. You can all head to the dungeon now."

The members of The Noble Knights walked off.

"We're down to twelve and the clock is ticking, if you don't have a favorite that start a-picking! Stay tune for the next episode of Total Drama Legends!" Chris announced signing off.
